Michigan Caregivers sue state over ‘false’ public employee classification

The Service Employees International Union succeeded in its effort to unionize home health care providers early in October, but the Mackinac Center for Public Policy argues in an ongoing lawsuit that classifying home care providers as state employees in the first place is not legal.

This is the second time in this century the SEIU has installed its dues skim with a tiny fraction of votes among the total available labor force. There are 32,000 home health care providers in the state. There were only 5,527 valid ballots cast on the matter of unionization, with 4,205 votes in favor. Another 1,502 providers voted against the effort, according to the Michigan Employment Relations Commission.

Under a previous dues skim the SEIU ran from 2005 through 2012, home health care providers were forced to pay $34 million in union dues that bought them essentially nothing. Most home care providers are family members who receive a government stipend intended to defray the out-of-pocket costs of caring for their loved ones in the home. The SEIU’s claim was that receiving this public subsidy made home care providers public employees subject to unionization. Click here to read more.

 

10 Teams Have Forfeited to Volleyball Team with Transgender Player.

A total of 10 teams have now forfeited to the Jurupa Valley High School girls’ volleyball team in California due to the inclusion of a transgender athlete on its roster.

“Los Osos High School forfeited a tournament game against Jurupa Valley on Saturday, while Patriot High School forfeited its Monday varsity match, marking its second forfeit to JVHS this season. Patriot High School previously forfeited a Sept. 26 match to Jurupa Valley,” Fox News reported on Wednesday.

A California school board president familiar with the matter confirmed that only the Patriot High School varsity team forfeited to JVHS, while the JV and freshman teams did play.

No school has given an official reason for the forfeits. As many as two Jurupa Valley senior players, Alyssa McPherson and Hadeel Hazameh, quit the team this season in protest of sharing a court with a transgender athlete, which Jurupa Valley High School has continued to support.

College Textbook Labels Christianity a ‘White Supremacist Group’

A senior at the University of North Georgia is voicing her shock after buying a textbook that apparently labeled Christianity as a white supremacist group.

Kelbie Murphy paid about $100 for the book assigned for her International Public Relations course, but one line in chapter 8 unnerved her, Fox News reported Thursday.

The outlet cited the text as saying, “An internet search produces the following modifier for identity: corporate, sexual, digital, public, racial, national, brand, and even Christian (a U.S.-based white supremacist group).”

Moments after she discovered it, Murphy recorded a video of herself reading the passage and posted the clip on TikTok. Click here to read more.

 

Deputies arrest 17-year-old accused of faking kidnapping he blamed on Hispanic men

Deputies with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office arrested 17-year-old Caden Speight on Tuesday. He faces charges of presenting false evidence, shooting into a conveyance, making a false report of a crime and possession of a firearm by a minor.

Speight reportedly texted his mother Sept. 25, claiming he was shot while driving on Southwest Highway 484 in Dunnellon. He claimed to have been taken by four Hispanic men in a light-colored van.

“I need help. Being shot at. 4 Hispanics armed, white van, one driver. I’m hit,” the text message read.

Speight’s disappearance triggered an Amber Alert and a frantic search for the 17-year-old. Investigators later determined he had fabricated the incident, calling the whole thing a “hoax.” Click here to read more.

 

Federal investigation leads to arrest, charges in affordable housing funding fraud in LA

A federal investigation has led to an arrest and criminal charges, in separate cases, for fraudulently accessing and using public funds that were meant for homelessness and affordable housing, according to the Department of Justice.

In both of these cases, defendants took advantage of funds allocated to assist the homeless, some of the most vulnerable people in society and many of whom may be suffering from myriad conditions, including addiction,” said Akil Davis, the Assistant Director of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office in a written statement.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she has “zero tolerance” for corruption in response to the charges.

“We’re working with the U.S. Attorney’s office to ensure that anyone who engages in fraud against the city will face the full force of the law and my administration’s unwavering commitment to accountability,” Bass said in a written statement. Click here to read more.

Election Error Forces Dearborn, Michigan to Reprint 9,000 Ballots

DEARBORN, Mich. — About 9,000 Dearborn voters are getting a second ballot in the mail after city officials accidentally sent out absentee ballots listing a man who isn’t even running for City Council.

The corrected ballots—omitting Mohammed Shegara, who withdrew from the City Council race in April—were expected to reach voters by October 11 and should already be in mailboxes this week.

City Clerk George Darany called the incident a “correctible oversight,” but some critics are calling it a breakdown in election oversight just weeks before Election Day.

“The clerk’s office has not only wasted taxpayer dollars but also put the city at risk for lawsuits that could cost even more,” Sami Elhady, Darany’s challenger for clerk, said. Click here to read more.

 

Illegal Immigrants Are on Medicaid — Taxpayers Deserve the Truth

WASHINGTON D.C. - While Democrats try to deny it, the reason Washington is shut down comes down to a single question: Should Medicaid, a program meant for low-income Americans, be used to subsidize healthcare for people who entered the country illegally?

The fight began with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act earlier this year. One of its key reforms ended a Medicaid loophole that allowed states to pass the cost of covering illegal immigrants on to federal taxpayers. The law required states to pay those costs themselves, cutting off a practice that blurred eligibility lines and drained billions. Democrats now want that provision repealed, and their refusal to compromise has prolonged the shutdown.

California shows the scale of the abuse. In 2023, the state budgeted $3.9 billion for medical services for illegal immigrants under Medicaid. Because the federal government typically reimburses 70% of state Medicaid spending, most of that burden fell on taxpayers nationwide. Click here to read more.

EV battery company bails on Whitmer’s Michigan, despite taxpayer funding — will ‘continue to explore opportunities’ elsewhere

The trend is obvious.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her economic development team spend billions in tax dollars through secret negotiations to court electric vehicle and renewable energy investments to Michigan, and make big promises about jobs to be created in the future.

Then it all dissolves, leaving Michigan taxpayers holding the bag.

The latest example comes from the global mining giant Fortescue, which told Crain’s Detroit Business on Friday it’s pulling the plug on a $210 million EV battery plant in Detroit that Whitmer promised just last year would “create up to 600 jobs and build on our economic momentum.”

“Following a comprehensive review of the economics, logistics and deadlines to meet our ambitious decarbonization targets, we have made the decision to reassess the future of our U.S. manufacturing strategy and no longer proceed with our planned Michigan Manufacturing Center,” a company spokesperson wrote in a statement to the news site.

Exposed: The CCP’s United Front Network in America’s Heartlan

In part one of this joint investigation by the Breitbart News Foundation (BNF) and the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), it was revealed that from a single brick building on North Eustis Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, a web of pro-Beijing nonprofits and businesses collaborate with the Overseas Chinese Service Center of Minnesota (Minnesota OCSC), which itself works directly with the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department.

Part two revealed that the public University of Minnesota email account of Dr. Bingwen Yan — the “person in charge” of the Minnesota OCSC — is listed on official Chinese Communist Party (CCP) websites as the official contact for the Minnesota OCSC, and that any communications that may have been taking place on that email address could prove useful to any investigation of whether the CCP is operating another “police station” in Minnesota.

Louisiana, ADF challenge Biden-era abortion-by-mail scheme in pro-life states

LAFAYETTE, La. – The state of Louisiana, together with attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for enabling pro-abortion activists and doctors to mail streams of high-risk abortion drugs into states that protect the lives of unborn babies.

Louisiana resident Rosaliw Maekwzich also joined the suit. In October 2023, under immense pressure and fearing for her safety, she took abortion drugs that her boyfriend obtained via mail from a doctor in California. Rosalie’s attorneys explain that she did not want an abortion, but far from empowering her to make her own choice and preserve her autonomy, the mail-order drugs left her feeling trapped and coerced.
