Michigan can’t even give away billions of dollars.

A cash offer of $1.1 billion wasn’t enough to lure a company to a Genesee County location near Flint.

When auto companies chose to spend about $11 billion building plants in the American South in 2021, Michigan, stung by headlines blaming the state for losing this business, gathered a taxpayer-funded honeypot. But years later, that also has failed to attract a buyer.

Michigan gave $259 million in site prep for the Genesee County spot. It offered $6 billion to Western Digital Technologies, according to an August 2024 letter of intent signed by Michigan Economic Development Corporation CEO Quentin Messer and Dan Steere, Western Digital's senior vice president of corporate development and strategy.

In return, the company would invest $63 billion between 2024 and 2045 and create 9,400 jobs.

Michigan offered:

  • $1.175 billion in a cash grant

  • $750 million in cash grants

  • $416 million in a sales and use tax exemption

Middle School Cheerleaders Made a TikTok Video Portraying a School Shooting. They Were Charged With a Crime.

One afternoon in mid-September, a group of middle school girls in rural East Tennessee decided to film a TikTok video while waiting to begin cheerleading practice.

In the 45-second video posted later that day, one girl enters the classroom holding a cellphone. “Put your hands up,” she says, while a classmate flickers the lights on and off. As the camera pans across the classroom, several girls dramatically fall back on a desk or the floor and lie motionless, pretending they were killed.

When another student enters and surveys the bodies on the ground in poorly feigned shock, few manage to suppress their giggles. Throughout the video, which ProPublica obtained, a line of text reads: “To be continued……”

Penny Jackson’s 11-year-old granddaughter was one of the South Greene Middle School cheerleaders who played dead. She said the co-captains told her what to do and she did it, unaware of how it would be used. The next day, she was horrified when the police came to school to question her and her teammates.

Here’s why a school district is telling teachers not to post Amazon Wish Lists

HOHENWALD, Tenn. - A school district in Tennessee is asking teachers not to share personal Amazon Wish Lists.

Lewis County School District asked teachers to refrain from posting their wish lists when using the district’s name, school names or logos.

Director of Schools Tracy McAbee shared the district’s reasoning for the decision in a Facebook post.

McAbee said that when donations are made using the name or brand of a Tennessee public school, “there must be a documented process to verify that items were received, properly inventoried, and used in accordance with public purpose.”

“Currently, there is no consistent way to verify that donations made through individual wish lists were delivered or how those resources were used. This creates the potential for audit findings and concerns about mismanagement, even when the intent is good,” she said. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

Congress wants largest teachers union to pick kids over politics

The National Education Association was given a federal charter to be a professional advocate for teachers and public education, but it has morphed into a hyper-partisan advocacy group.

Spending tens of millions of dollars on campaigns, lobbying and ideology-driven resolutions that have little to do with students has real consequences. It hurts teachers. It politicizes the classroom. It undermines trust in public education. And it’s happening under the recognition of a federal charter, a rare privilege possessed by fewer than 100 national-interest groups, such as the American Legion.

Congress is considering fixing that. The Stopping Teachers Unions from Damaging Education Needs Today Act, would hold the NEA to the same standards of neutrality, transparency and public service expected of any nationally chartered nonprofit. The STUDENT Act is intended to refocus the NEA on education.

NEA is more focused on power than education

In 2024, the NEA spent $23 million on political campaigns and another $3 million lobbying Congress. That same year, just 9% of the NEA’s spending was on representing its members, while the rest went to political causes and other union leadership priorities. Click here to read more.

Taylor, Michigan School Superintendent Bans Political Displays in Classrooms follow pushback from parents. Decision follows national debates ove

TAYLOR, Mich. - Taylor School District’s superintendent Mike Wegher announced a ban on classroom displays considered politically controversial after a photo surfaced of a local classroom decorated with a Black Lives Matter flag, a “Science is Real” banner, and a Taylor Swift poster.

The image sparked backlash in the community, with some parents arguing the displays promoted political messages. Superintendent Mark Maloney said the new policy will prohibit all political symbols, including Black Lives Matter, “Blue Lives Matter,” and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags.

“This policy applies across the board,” Maloney said. “Whether it’s BLM, Blue Lives Matter, or Don’t Tread on Me, we’re not allowing any of it. Our classrooms should remain focused on education, not political debate.” He noted that items tied directly to classroom material would still be permitted but acknowledged it could take time for staff to adjust.

The move places Taylor among a growing number of ...

Michigan Dem Sen. Jeremy Moss: We’re keeping boys in girls’ school bathrooms, showers

Michigan Senate President Pro Tempore Jeremy Moss is vowing to ensure girls’ school bathrooms remain available to biologically male students who identify as the opposite gender.

The Southfield Democrat took to X on Thursday in response to legislation approved by House Republicans the same day to protect girls’ privacy and dignity in Michigan schools.

House Bill 4024 would require schools to segregate use of multiple-occupancy restrooms, locker rooms, changing areas, and showers by biological sex, a move sponsor Rep. Joseph Fox, R-Fremont, said in a statement “should be a commonsense law.”

“No little child should feel unsafe or exposed in a placed designed for privacy and dignity,” Fox said. “Everyone wants to protect our children from harm, especially in the most vulnerable spaces at school. Those areas are bathrooms, locker rooms, and changing areas.”

Moss and his Democratic colleagues in the upper chamber disagree.

“This will not be moving in the Senate,” Moss posted to X. Click here to read more.

 

Rep. Randy Fine to file legislation holding judges accountable after brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska

WASHINGTON – U.S. Florida Republican Rep. Randy Fine plans to introduce legislation to hold judges accountable for releasing violent repeat offenders, following the brutal stabbing death of a Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte light rail train.

According to a FOX News Article, the victim, Iryna Zarutska, 23, was stabbed to death on August 22. Surveillance footage of the attack, released by the Charlotte Area Transit System, showed a man identified as Decarlos Brown, 34, stabbing the unsuspecting woman multiple times. Brown was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Fine said the 12+ judges who released Brown should “have their day in court too.” He said he plans to introduce legislation to address the issue.

“It’s easy to release criminals when you’re protected by an armed bailiff at all times. The rest of us aren’t so lucky,” Fine wrote on X.

He said the judges who released Brown “need to be held accountable.” Click here to read more.

 

Ukrainian refugee killed in random stabbing on North Carolina train

CHARLOTTE, NC - Police in Charlotte, North Carolina, are investigating a random murder that took place on the city’s light rail system last month.

Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who came to the United States following the Russian invasion of her country, was fatally stabbed on her way home from work close to 10 p.m. on Aug. 22.

Surveillance video released by Charlotte Area Transit shows the woman boarding a light rail Lynx car and sitting down in front of a man, identified as 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. After nearly five minutes, the video shows Brown pulling out a folding knife and attacking her.

Police say he stabbed Zarutska three times, including a fatal blow to the neck, before walking the length of the train and exiting. Transit police arrived within minutes, but she was pronounced dead.

Brown, who police say is homeless and has a criminal record, was arrested and charged with murder. Click here to read more.

 

Trump Promises Fresh Push To Defend Prayer In Public Schools

President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would take action to protect students’ rights to pray at public schools.

Trump made the announcement during the second official hearing of the Religious Liberty Commission at the Museum of the Bible. The focus of the hearing was on religious liberty and public education, featuring testimony from students who claimed their religious beliefs were challenged at school.

“For most of our country’s history, the Bible was found in every classroom in the nation, yet in many schools, today’s students are instead indoctrinated with anti-religious propaganda and some are even punished for their religious beliefs,” Trump said.

Trump pointed to a young girl from Texas named Hannah Allen, who was reprimanded for meeting with a group of her classmates during lunch to pray for an injured friend.

“To support students like Hannah, I’m pleased to announce this morning that the Department of Education will soon issue new guidance protecting the right to prayer in our public schools,” Trump said. Click here to read more.

 

Couple in their 80s turn tables on con artists trying to steal Rolex: ‘I’ll give you an attitude’

NEW YORK (WABC) - A New York couple who are in their 80s fought back when they were targeted by con artists for their Rolex watch.

Larry Schwartz, 87, is stronger than many people half his age. For decades, he has lifted every day. He used to box and even jumped out of planes in the Air Force.

“An average person doesn’t do this,” he said.

Both Schwartz and his wife, Joanna Cuccia, are far from average. The two have been married for decades and are pushing 90 – and as a pair of con artists learned the hard way, they’re definitely the wrong people to pick on.

A stranger followed the couple into a senior center in the Gramercy Park neighborhood last week and, oddly, asked for directions to Walmart. Click here to read more.

Jocelyn Benson’s proposed election rule changes make it easier to cheat, harder to challenge illegal votes

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson wants to make it easier to cheat and more difficult to challenge illegal votes and registrations through a dozen proposed rule changes that will be presented at a public hearing on Friday.

The administrative hearing, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Binsfeld Office Building in Lansing, marks a departure from Benson’s tactic of unilaterally imposing changes repeatedly rules unlawful by courts for circumventing the state’s Administrative Procedures Act.

State law requires Benson to provide public notice of rule changes and opportunities for Michiganders to weigh in before adoption.

The proposed changes for Friday involve voter registration cancellations, challenges, corrections, and overseas voting privileges, which Patrice Johnson, founder of the Michigan Fair Elections Institute, argues “will be devastating to citizen and clerk input to clean the voter rolls.” Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Rep. Blows the Lid Off American Medical Association’s Gender “Care” Narrative

LANSING, Mich. – Michigan Representative Brad Paquette (R-Niles), a former teacher, has been on a mission to protect children from gender care medical experimentation and has introduced bills to criminalize gender-affirming care for minors. According to a May press release, Paquette’s three-bill package would “prohibit health care providers from conducting hormone treatments, surgeries for sterilization, and surgeries that alter genital appearance on minors, with an exception for minors with medically verifiable disorders of sex development or those facing imminent danger from physical condition.”

Paquette said, “It is time for the experimentation on children in the name of care to come to an end. Children are not born in the wrong body. No one has the right to maim a healthy child’s body to try to achieve the unachievable.” Click here to read more.

 

A Comedian Was Jailed In The UK For Jokes. Is Britain Now North Korea?

A member of Parliament warned U.S. legislators Wednesday that Americans could face arrest in the United Kingdom for what they post on social media, under a new British law that has received wide attention this week.

Comments in Washington by Nigel Farage, leader of the conservative Reform UK party, come amid fresh scrutiny of Britain’s Online Safety Act, which, among other things, makes it illegal to incite violence through internet posts.

Even some supporters of the measure seem to be questioning the enforcement side after Irish comedian Graham Linehan was arrested Monday at Heathrow Airport for social media posts about transgender people. Click here to read more.

 

Senator Says It’s ‘Extremely Troubling’ to Believe Rights Come From the Creator

The U.S. Senate has wasted no time getting back to serving the American people after its six-week summer recess. With issues like the Sept. 30 deadline to have either a budget or a continuing resolution or risk a partial government shutdown on the agenda, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia reminded us of the twisted view the Left has of our civil rights and how much control it wants government to have over them.

During a nominations hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, the former Democrat vice presidential candidate said, “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator … that’s what the Iranian government believes. … So, the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” Click here to read more.

 

A Health Care Tax Hike Poses the Greatest Midterm Threat to the GOP

As a pollster, I know numbers. And right now, our poll numbers are issuing a stark warning about the future of our party’s majorities in Washington. If Congress fails to act on a critical issue this year – to preserve key health care tax credits for millions of working, middle-class Americans in the individual health insurance marketplace – these Americans will get hit with an unexpected tax increase. After four years of Biden-Harris inflation, it’s a tax they can’t afford.

Our recent national survey reveals a clear mandate that every Republican lawmaker should be working to preserve these health care tax credits that help make health insurance more affordable for working Americans, or risk significant political consequences. Click here to read more.
