AG Pam Bondi announces arrest of 2,700 Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members in U.S.

WASHINGTON D.C. - Federal authorities have arrested more than 2,700 alleged members of the notorious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, officials said on Friday.

During a White House press briefing, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrests when asked if an undocumented infant would be an immigration enforcement priority.

Bondi responded saying that violent illegal immigrants would be prioritized for deportation.

"Let me put it in perspective: Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TdA members," she said. "Everyone in this room agrees that they are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world."

Like the president and other members of his administration, Bondi blamed the former Biden administration’s lax border policies for the large numbers of criminal illegal immigrants in the country and for letting TdA gain access into the U.S. Click here to read more.

SCOTUS rules parents can opt-out kids from LGBTQ curriculum; Trump: ‘A tremendous victory for parents’

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that parents can opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed instruction that conflicts with their religious beliefs.

The court sided with parents against Maryland’s Montgomery County Board of Education by a 6-3 decision, stating the parents are “entitled to a preliminary injunction.”

During the 2022–2023 school year, the board introduced “LGBTQ+-inclusive” storybooks for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, the opinion said.

The opinion said while the board allowed parents to opt their children out of related instruction, it later “rescinded” the policy, saying it “could not accommodate the growing number of opt out requests without causing significant disruptions to the classroom environment.”

The opinion said parents are “likely to succeed on their claim that the Board’s policies unconstitutionally burden their religious exercise.”

The court said it has “long recognized the rights of parents to direct ‘the religious up- bringing’ of their children.” Click here to read more.

 

July 1 starts Illinois laws on gender-inclusiveness, climate education, prostitution privacy

July 1 is when spending starts on Illinois’ record $55.2 billion budget, when the state gas tax automatically goes up to 48.3 cents a gallon and when new laws take effect – some passed as long ago as 2023.

Here are nine laws passed by the 103rd Illinois General Assembly impacting gender, birth certificates for those under guardianship and for fetal deaths, climate change education, insulin costs, assisted living, overdose survival, court translators and prostitution records. All nine go into effect July 1.

Gender data, birth certificates

House Bill 2297 will have state agencies collect and report gender-inclusive data.

Starting July 1, “male and female” categories will be removed. To conform with gender inclusive initiatives, state agencies will collect and report data for “man, woman, and persons who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming” categories.

House Bill 4727 will waive fees for a new birth certificate or for a search for a birth record for those with a guardian. Click here to read more.

 

Washington Post Journalist Charged With Possession Of Child Pornography

A Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post editor has been charged by the federal government with possession of child pornography.

Thomas P. LeGro, 48, was arrested on Thursday after authorities allegedly found 11 video files of child pornography on LeGro’s work laptop, which was located at his home in Washington, D.C.

The journalist faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.

The Washington Post said in a statement that it “understands the severity of these allegations, and the employee has been placed on leave,” but refused to comment further.

LeGro’s Washington Post profile says he was “part of a team of Post reporters who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Senate candidacy of Roy Moore and a subsequent effort to discredit The Post’s reporting” in 2018. “As Deputy Director of Video, Tom oversees an award-winning team of video journalists who work across the newsroom, including in National, Climate, Metro, Style and Technology,” the profile adds.

School Board Member Alleges Information Withheld in Proposed $40 Million School Sale

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. — Tensions flared at a recent Swartz Creek School Board meeting after a board member claimed he was not given key information about a potential $40 million sale of Moorish Elementary School to a state-backed development project.

Board member Chuck Melki alleged that documents related to the proposed sale were withheld from him and the public. The school sits within a large industrial site in Mundy Township where the state of Michigan has already spent $259 million to clear land for a potential factory project. Despite the investment, several companies have declined to move in, leaving the land vacant.

“I wasn’t given all the information about the possible sale of this school,” Melki said during the meeting, adding that he recently learned documents existed as far back as May indicating the property could be sold. He accused the district’s former superintendent, who has since left for another district, of withholding the paperwork.

Michigan Sheriff Slams Judge After Attempted Murder Suspect Walks Free on $1,000 Bond
“Community safety must always come first,” Sheriff Bouchard says after recent court decisions.

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (Aug. 29, 2025) — Oakland County Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard voiced concern Friday over recent bond rulings that allowed two men facing serious felony charges to be released on minimal bail.

Bouchard pointed to two cases handled this month by Magistrate Angelena Marie Thomas-Scruggs. On Thursday, 25-year-old Robertlee Rayshawn Rogers was arraigned in 50th District Court on five felony counts, including assault with intent to murder. Rogers was under a court order barring him from contact with the victim when the alleged assault took place. Despite that, he was released on a $1,000 personal bond.

A similar ruling came Aug. 15, when Thomas-Scruggs set bond at $5,000 cash/surety, with 10% down, for Charles Edward Black II. Black was arraigned on multiple felonies, including carrying a concealed weapon, narcotics trafficking and possession of a device to convert a firearm into a machine gun. Convictions on those charges could carry decades in prison.

“These are not minor offenses — they are extraordinarily serious crimes that endanger lives and carry lengthy sentences,” Bouchard said in a statement. “Our deputies and prosecutors work tirelessly to hold violent offenders accountable. It is unacceptable, and frankly reprehensible, when magistrates or judges undermine those efforts by releasing dangerous individuals on minimal bond.”

 

Bouchard said such decisions place victims and the public at risk and erode trust in the justice system.

Black is scheduled for a probable cause conference before Judge Ronda Gross on Sept. 9.

Seton Hall Prof Fires Back At Academia, Slamming Legalized Sports Betting

A professor of economics at Seton Hall has delivered a 24-page reality check to everyone wringing their hands about legalized sports betting.

Kurt Rotthoff’s new paper, published Aug. 1 on Social Science Research Network (SSRN.com) doesn’t just acknowledge that sports betting has downsides. It calls out the entire academic establishment for asserting that the benefits don’t exist.

“A majority of the literature looks at the negative impacts of legalized sports betting,” writes Rotthoff, Associate Provost for Strategy and Finance at the university. “Although many studies analyze the costs of legalized sports betting, most ignore the fact that benefits also exist.” Click here to read more.

 

The Collapse of Europe’s Socialist Experiment

There are mass demonstrations in Britain against illegal immigration and crime that’s not treated in the way it is with citizens. There’s a perception that immigrants, many of them in Britain illegally, are not treated equally. And I mean equally in the system, that they’re not treated severely as they should be, according to the law.

In Germany, there are massive defections in support for illegal migration. Remember, former Chancellor Angela Merkel said, “Yes, we can let in people from the Middle East.” Mostly Muslims. She let in 1 million into Germany. It’s got 15% to 16% of the population are aliens. They’re not German citizens. They weren’t born in Germany.

We have the same type of unrest appearing in the Netherlands and, to a lesser degree, in France.

Unfortunately, illegal immigration and unsecured borders are not Europe’s only problems. They made a conscientious decision—that is, most European countries—to lessen their carbon footprint, on the idea that they were going to go to zero-net emissions Click here to read more.

 

‘Wish I Never Brain-Washed Myself’: Minnesota School Shooter Said He Was ‘Tired Of Being Trans’

The trans-identifying shooter who killed two children and wounded more than a dozen others at a Catholic school in Minneapolis on Wednesday wrote in a journal entry that he was “tired of being trans” and regretted that he “brain-washed” himself.

A journal reportedly belonging to Robin Westman, 23, who was born Robert Westman, revealed some of the dark thoughts of the gunman who opened fire on students and staff while they were attending morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic School. The journal, which was written in a mix of Russian Cyrillic script and English, indicated that Westman held regrets about identifying as transgender, The New York Post reported.

“I only keep [long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” Westman reportedly wrote. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan’s child welfare system is broken

Rep. Luke Meerman, R-Coopersville, chair of the House Child Welfare Systems Subcommittee, presented a detailed update to Tuesday’s House Oversight Committee, highlighting ongoing challenges and systemic failures within Michigan’s child welfare system.

“Many of them will never stand in front of us,” Meerman remaked, emphasizing the responsibility of the state legislature to advocate for vulnerable children.

Despite efforts to address these issues, Michigan continues to face significant hurdles. “All those statistics say we have a lot of room to grow. These are kids that are struggling and we’re not doing as well as we should as a state,” Meerman noted.

The subcommittee’s investigation has uncovered disturbing cases of neglect and abuse. An audit revealed that Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services failed to review over 100 child deaths that met internal criteria for examination. The audit criticized MDHHS for inconsistently following procedures and for not updating the child fatality registry after 2022. “We agreed with the finding and took immediate actions to enhance the SSR process,” MDHHS Deputy Director Demetrius Starling acknowledged.

Lawsuit links CA teen's suicide to artificial intelligence

The parents of a California teenager who committed suicide sued OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT taught him how to harm himself, according to a lawsuit the parents filed Aug. 26.

Matthew and Maria Raine, the parents, filed a 40-page lawsuit in the California Superior Court in San Francisco against the company OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman. The lawsuit said OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, gave the California teenager explicit instructions for his suicide.

Adam Raine, 16, died after hanging himself on April 11, 2025.

“This tragedy was not a glitch or unforeseen edge case — it was the predictable result of deliberate design choices,” the lawsuit said.

Leading up to his death, Raine started to talk to artificial intelligence in September 2024 like it was his best friend, according to the suit. Rather than speaking with his family or friends about his anxiety and depression, he wrote to ChatGPT, the lawsuit said. Over time, AI went from being his confidant to his suicide coach, the lawsuit alleges. Click here to read more.

Minnesota Church School Shooting Suspect ‘Identifies as Female,’ Changed Name at 17 Years Old

A senior administration official confirmed to Breitbart News that the alleged shooter at a Minneapolis Catholic school changed from a male name to a female name at 17 years of age and identified as a female.

A document posted on social media was confirmed as authentic by the official. The document describes the name change as occurring in 2020 when the alleged shooter was a minor, and required parental sign-off on the change.

FOX News correspondent Brook Taylor reported that his mother signed off on the name change from “Robert” to “Robin.”

Breitbart News reported that police indicated the alleged shooter used a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun to carry out his attack on the school Wednesday morning. From outside the church, he shot through windows, striking children as they sat in pews during mass. Two children were killed and 17 other individuals were wounded. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Rep. offers kids drugs after Michigan Medicine ends ‘gender affirming care’

The University of Michigan on Monday announced it will no longer facilitate sex changes for kids, crediting President Donald Trump’s administration for the decision.

In response, Rep. Carrie Rheingans, D-Ann Arbor, registered her disapproval in a video posted to X.

In the video, the representative declares that “gender affirming care” for children is still legal in Michigan. She adds that such care is still “safe and effective.”

She continues: “If you need to find a new place to get care, it’s still legal to get care here in Michigan, and reach out to our office. We’ll be able to connect you to what may still be available in our community…. We want to make sure you can grow up and thrive here in Michigan.”

Rheingans’ pledge is in response to a federal subpoena received by UM and Michigan Medicine that threatens to withhold federal tax dollars from facilities that offer gender affirming care for minors. Click here to read more.

 

While People Protest Fossil Fuels in Michigan, Oil Production In U.S. Hits Record Levels

While protesters gathered in Michigan recently in efforts to close a coal plant, fossil fuels are being produced in the U.S. at record levels.

The United States set an all-time record for domestic oil production when it produced 13.48 million barrels of oil per day on average in May. That broke the previous record set a month earlier of 13.46 million barrels of oil per day.

That’s according to the most recent data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. To put that in perspective, the average in May of 2020 during the pandemic lockdowns was 9.71 million barrels of oil per day. In January of 2010, the U.S. was producing 5.40 million barrels of oil per day on average. Michigan produces about 11,000 barrels of oil per day.

Energy experts say the increase in production is due to better technology used while doing hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques. Click here to read more.

 

DC Mayor Concedes Trump Takeover Has Reduced Crime

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a press conference on Wednesday that the federal surge in the nation’s capital is helping reduce crime.

“We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings,” Bowser declared at a conference dubbed “Situational Update Federal Surge.”

“This is what we think, in just a couple of weeks of experience, has worked, having more federal law enforcement officers on the street,” Bowser said, admitting that President Donald Trump’s intervention in the nation’s capitol was having its desire effect. Click here to read more.

 

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers

In a private group chat in June, dozens of Democratic political influencers discussed whether to take advantage of an enticing opportunity. They were being offered $8,000 per month to take part in a secretive program aimed at bolstering Democratic messaging on the internet.

But the contract sent to them from Chorus, the nonprofit arm of a liberal influencer marketing platform, came with some strings. Among other issues, it mandated extensive secrecy about disclosing their payments and had restrictions on what sort of political content the creators could produce.

In their group chat, influencers debated the details.

“Should we send a joint email (with all of our email addresses) … or, are we just going to send things separately and hope they change everything for everyone?” Laurenzo, a nonbinary creator in Columbus, Ohio, with over 884,000 TikTok followrs, asked the group. Some joked about collective bargaining. “Any Newsies fans here?” Eliza Orlins, a public defender and reality TV star known for her appearances on Survivor, posted in the group. “‘We’re a union just by sayin’ so!’” Click here to read more.
