Police Accused of Covering Up Alleged Asylum Seeker Child Rape for Fear of ‘Inflaming Community Tensions’

According to a report from the Mail on Sunday, Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was charged with allegedly raping the 12-year-old girl last month after entering the country illegally on a small boat across the English Channel. Meanwhile, fellow Afghan Mohammad Kabir, 23, was reportedly charged with kidnapping, strangulation, and aiding and abetting the rape of the same girl, who remains in specialist care.

However, according to the report, police told local officials to withhold information from the public about their identities, including that the two men were asylum seekers. The police are said to have warned about the possibility of “inflaming community tensions” should the public be told the truth.

The MoS went on to report that Mulakhil and Kabir were both living in asylum seeker properties managed by the controversial Serco contractor, which runs the £2 billion hotel migrant scheme for the government. Click here to read more.

Teen On Trial For Killing Her Baby Once Said Murder Was Her ‘Favorite’ Birth Control

A Florida college student who is on trial for killing her newborn baby girl said in text messages that her “favorite” type of birth control is to “kill [the] kid.”

Brianne Moore was 19 when she gave birth to a baby in her college dorm bathroom in April 2024. Hours later, she disposed of the deceased baby in the trash.

Moore claims she did not know she was pregnant, or was in denial about it, and did not kill the baby, whom she claims died on her own. However, a medical examiner ruled the cause of death as homicide.

In text messages dated seven months before the birth, Moore talked to a male, named Quasim, from her home state of Mississippi. The pair discussed a “plan c” option of birth control as killing the child, which Moore called her “favorite,” according to CourtTV. Click here to read more.

 

Trump’s Mission to Make America’s Kids Fit Again Is Way Overdue

Poor health and obesity, and the chronic diseases that accompany them, cost this country billions of dollars. President Donald Trump, alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is on a mission to end that, and he’s starting with our children.

It’s often said that you can’t outrun a bad diet. The implication is that no matter how much we may exercise, it’s what we put in our mouths daily that predominantly determines health outcomes.

This is largely true. Still, the decline in physical activity, particularly among America’s youth, is distressing. Shoulders slumped, eyes locked into a screen, their still developing brains and bodies have turned to mush. Literally.

Approximately one in five, or over 22% of children are considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s about 14.7 million kids between the age of 2 and 19. Not only is that disturbing, but it is also unacceptable and unsustainable. Click here to read more.

 

Woman arrested in hot car death of 3-year-old in Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A woman has been arrested in the death of 3-year-old Ke’Torrius Starkes Jr.

Kela Stanford, 54, is charged with leaving a child in a vehicle. She was arrested Aug. 1.

The charge, which is part of the Amiyah White Act, prohibits leaving a child or incapacitated person unattended in a motor vehicle in a manner that creates an unreasonable risk of injury or harm.

Starkes was under the care of the Alabama Department of Human Resources and was being transported by Stanford who was a Covenant Services employee at the time of his death. Covenant Services was contracted by DHR to help with child transportation.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed that Starkes was left inside the vehicle July 22 on Pinetree Drive in Birmingham from approximately 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. He was found unresponsive and pronounced dead about 30 minutes later. Click here to read more.

BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

Feds Conduct Door-To-Door Checks At Suspected Minneapolis Fraud Sites

Homeland Security Investigations agents were on the ground in Minneapolis on Monday, conducting door-to-door checks at suspected fraud sites, as authorities examined the alleged involvement of Somali immigrants in a broader criminal scheme.

The Department of Homeland Security posted a video showing two agents entering a convenience store, where they ask the clerk about a suspicious business next door. Last week, independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video allegingthat numerous daycare and learning centers in the Twin Cities area had no children on-site, despite receiving millions of dollars in government funding.

“The American people deserve answers on how their taxpayer money is being used and ARRESTS when abuse is found. Under the leadership of [Secretary Kristi Noem], DHS is working to deliver results,” Homeland Security posted on social media. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Election Rocked by AI Deepfakes Targeting GOP Candidate

SAGINAW, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan’s latest political controversy isn’t about tax policy or crumbling roads – it’s about digital deception. A series of AI-generated deepfake videos recently circulated online falsely portraying a Republican candidate as gay and aligned with a transgender advocacy group, fueling voter confusion and renewed scrutiny in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence. A deepfake is AI-generated media that makes it look or sound like someone said or did something they never actually did.

A now-deleted website and Facebook page were uncovered portraying Saginaw attorney Jason Tunney, a candidate in the 35th Senate District’s February 3 special primary, as gay and backed by a transgender group calling itself “Tranneys for Tunney.” Included were videos showing Tunney kissing another man and speaking in front of pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Tunney, who is not gay, is married to a woman named Pamela and is a conservative Republican. Click here to read more.

‘Just Snapped’: Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole Jr.’s Confession Revealed in Court Docs

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Federal prosecutors told a judge that the man suspected of planting pipebombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in January 2021 confessed to the crime in an affidavit filed Sunday.

The Department of Justice announced Dec. 4 the arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on charges of transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

In the filing, prosecutors note Cole said he “just snapped” and wanted to punish both political parties, adding he was inspired by The Troubles, a roughly 30-year ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland.

“The defendant explained that after the 2020 election, ‘when it first seemed like something was wrong’ and ‘stuff started happening,’ he began following the issue closely on YouTube and Reddit and felt ‘bewildered,’” the filing said. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

The miracle cure for sickle cell is now 2 years old. Most are still waiting.

The Trump administration has a plan to provide access to new treatments for sickle cell disease, the hereditary condition that has meant a lifetime of excruciating pain and debilitating health issues for tens of thousands of mostly Black Americans.

It’s one of few initiatives on which President Donald Trump and the public health establishment are aligned. But for parents desperate for a cure for children with a disease that, besides pain, causes infections, vision problems, delayed puberty and regular visits to the hospital, it doesn’t mean they’ll get the gene therapy treatments anytime soon.

Trump administration rolls out $50 billion rural health fund

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Monday that it was launching its $50 billion initiative to help rural communities nationwide, which was created through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July.

All 50 states will receive monetary assistance that will go to rural areas starting next year, with the first wave of awards ranging from $147 million to $281 million.

The awards are expected to be used to bring more resources to Americans in rural areas, including by expanding preventive, primary, maternal, and behavioral health services; strengthen and sustain the rural clinical workforce; and modernize medical technology in rural areas.

Michigan's minimum wage is going up
What you need to know
Michigan’s minimum wage is going up on January 1, 2026, under the state’s Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act. The hourly minimum wage for most workers will increase from $12.48 to $13.73. That’s a $1.25 bump that affects tens of thousands of Michigan workers.
The increases are part of a schedule written into law that will take Michigan’s minimum wage to $15 per hour on January 1, 2027, and then tie it to inflation after that.
What Changes on January 1, 2026
  • Standard minimum wage: increases to $13.73 per hour from $12.48.
  • Tipped workers: will see the tipped minimum wage go up to $5.49 per hour (40 percent of the full minimum wage) as long as tips bring them up to at least the full rate.
  • Minors (ages 16 and 17): can be paid 85 percent of the minimum wage, rising to $11.67 per hour.
  • Training wage: for employees under age 20 in their first 90 calendar days of employment remains unchanged.
These changes come from Michigan’s labor department and the wage rules posted by the state. They reflect a planned schedule of increases that lawmakers set into motion after legal and legislative actions over the last few years.
Why It’s Happening
Under current Michigan law, set by the state legislature and state wage rules, annual increases are scheduled until the $15 minimum wage is reached in 2027. After that, annual adjustments are tied to inflation. This means the minimum wage won’t just sit still after 2027; it will move with changes in the cost of living.
For the official wage schedule and full details straight from the state, see the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s minimum wage page:
