How Biden’s Border Policy Turned Into A Child Trafficking Operation
It wasn’t so long ago that the absolute worst thing the government could do to a child — according to pretty much every expert, NGO and media mouthpiece on the planet — was to put that child in a “cage.” That was, as you probably remember, a major line of attack during the first Trump administration.
The consensus was that Donald Trump was so evil and so unhinged that, simply for his own personal amusement, he instructed immigration officials to incarcerate children in the worst conditions imaginable, like they were animals.
Things were so bad that AOC wept outside of an empty parking lot near an immigrant detention facility. Lin Manuel Miranda sang a lullaby for the Mexican children. Oprah, Rihanna, John Legend, George Clooney — the luminaries of our time — came together to formally condemn the Trump administration.
In response, conservatives made the case that children weren’t actually being placed in “cages” of any kind. They also pointed out that the alleged “cages” predated the Trump administration. And that was all true.
The strongest argument, however, was actually pretty simple. Democrats couldn’t answer the following question: How exactly would a Democrat-run administration handle tens of thousands of children who are apprehended attempting to enter this country illegally at the border? Click here to read more.
Supreme Court Sides With Catholic Charities in Case About Tax Exemptions for Religious Organizations
WASHINGTON D.C. - The Supreme Court unanimously sided with Catholic Charities Bureau on Thursday, ruling that Wisconsin discriminated against the organization by denying tax exempt status and violated the First Amendment’s protection for religion.
Wisconsin has a law, similar to most states and the federal government, that exempts certain religious organizations from paying unemployment compensation taxes. The statute exempts nonprofit organizations “operated primarily for religious purposes” and “operated, supervised, controlled, or principally supported by a church or convention or association of churches.” Catholic Charities Bureau and four of its sub-entities tried to obtain the exemption in 2016 as an organization controlled by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Superior, Wisconsin.

13-year-old breaks sternum while being bullied by another student in gym class, parents say
BEDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A 13-year-old boy suffered a broken sternum when he was slammed to the ground by another student at school in what his parents believe was an act of bullying.
The attack, which was caught on surveillance video, happened last week at Bedford Junior High School in Michigan.
Joshua and Desaray Hunt said that when they picked up their son from school, he said he was having chest pain and was struggling to breathe.
After a visit to the emergency room, they discovered he had a fractured sternum.
According to a report from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, school surveillance video shows a group of boys standing around during gym class while the teacher takes attendance.
The video reportedly shows one of the boys put another in a headlock and slam him to the floor. The report notes that the victim was not fighting back. Click here to read more.
More Money Hasn’t Triggered Increase In Student Achievement
LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Advocates for more public school funding have been clamoring for more money for K-12 schools. That includes such institutions as the Michigan Education Association as well the School Finance Research Foundation and EdTrust-Midwest.
The EdTrust-Midwest released a report in May that stated, “Michigan’s sluggish reading recovery places it in the bottom five states nationally for pandemic learning loss since 2019. In 2024, Michigan ranked 44th in the country for 4th grade reading and 31st for 8th grade math.”
EdTrust-Midwest is championing a large investment in education.
Republican State Rep. Bryan Posthumus, R-Rockford, has pushed back against that narrative. Click here to read more.
