Telehealth Services could end unless Congress acts

When the Trump administration loosened telemedicinei restrictions for Medicare patients in March 2020, the move was seen as temporary.

The COVID-19 pandemic was in its early days.

Making it easier for seniors to seek care virtually — whether through a video conference or an old-fashioned phone call — seemed like a straightforward way to maintain access during a crisis.

Five years later, telehealth has become an integral part of our nation's healthcare infrastructure. In many cases, it can be a more convenient, lower-cost, and equally effective alternative to in-person care.

Lawmakers have heard as much from their constituents --- and have extended Medicare's telehealth flexibilities repeatedly, most recently through the American Relief Act, which was signed into law in December of 2024. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan lawmaker asks for $25 million taxpayer money for invisible group

Rep. Cynthia Neeley, D-Flint, has submitted a $25 million earmark request from Michigan’s next budget for an organization that has no physical presence, IRS recognition or online footprint.

“This $25 million capital and program investment will support the redevelopment of a major community facility to serve inner city K-12 grade students of color and adult learners who need GED services including coaching and mentoring,” Neeley wrote in her request.

A search of the IRS database for tax-exempt organizations shows no record for MYhub Life Empowerment Center. A search of Michigan’s business registry also returned no results, suggesting that the entity is not registered in the state.

“The project does not violate Article IV, Section 30 of the Michigan Constitution, as it serves a demonstrable public purpose,” the request form states. Click here to read more.

 

DC Police falsified crime data

DC Fraternal Order of Police chairman Gregg Pemberton said in July that Metropolitan Police Department leaders pressure officers to falsify data and artificially deflate crime statistics

After President Donald Trump announced a federal crackdown on lawlessness in Washington, D.C., mainstream media outlets and Democratic politicians claimed violent crime in the nation’s capital has "fallen sharply" and has reached a "30-year low." Their claims, though, rest on questionable police data that local leaders are accused of falsifying to play down the city's violent crime problem. The Metropolitan Police Department recently suspended a commander for allegedly manipulating that data, a fact the mainstream reports excluded.

Politico reported Monday that "crime in Washington hit a 30-year low last year" despite the president "declaring a public safety emergency in the District" and attempting to "cast the city as dangerous. Click here to read more.

 

ICE Agents Arrest Illegal Alien Convicted Killers, Child Abusers, Rapists

On the same day an illegal alien MS-13 gang member was sentenced to life in prison without parole for raping and murdering Rachel Morin, a mother of five children, in Maryland, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested convicted killers, child abusers, and rapists.

“Just yesterday, Rachel Morin’s murderer — an illegal alien from El Salvador — was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The same day, ICE arrested a murderer, pedophiles, and sexual predators,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement:

ICE law enforcement is working around the clock to protect Americans from vile criminals who should have never been in our country in the first place. Yesterday’s arrests are yet another example of how President Trump and Secretary Noem continue to prioritize Americans over criminal illegal aliens. [Emphasis added]

Among those illegal aliens arrested by ICE agents are 69-year-old Gabriel Figueroa-Gama of Mexico and 50-year-old Rodolfo Sagastume-Avolos of Guatemala. Click here to read more.

 

3 things teachers unions don’t want teachers to know

Thousands of Illinois teachers have opted out of their unions in recent years.

But union myths keep many teachers from knowing the truth about how their unions spend money and what it means to opt out of membership.

Here are three things unions don’t want their members to know:

  1. Teachers unions admit in their own federal filings to spending little on representing teachers.

  2. Employers must treat everyone the same, regardless of union membership.

  3. Government unions wrote the laws that require them to represent all workers, so their claims of “free riders” are false.

Interested in opting out? Read on for information the union doesn’t want you to know.

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 ...

School board bans clapping....seriously

ALPENA, Mich. — A new rule banning applause and other displays of emotion at Alpena Public Schools board meetings has sparked pushback from community members who say the policy infringes on their free speech rights.

The board recently adopted a policy prohibiting clapping, cheering, booing, or any demonstrations from audience members during meetings. Board President Eric Lawson said the restriction is meant to prevent disruptions and maintain order.

“We’re doing our best to show respect to you all and make sure you have adequate time for your comments,” Lawson said during a recent meeting. “Please show the board a little respect as well.”

Not everyone in attendance agreed. Several residents voiced frustration, including one woman who argued that clapping constitutes symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

“Clapping is a universal symbolic action that typically expresses approval,” she said. “Up until one week ago, clapping was a regular occurrence at these ...

DOJ sues D.C., alleging Second Amendment rights violations

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is suing the local government of Washington, D.C., over its gun laws, alleging that restrictions on certain semiautomatic weapons run afoul of Second Amendment rights.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed its lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, naming Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department and outgoing Chief of Police Pamela Smith as defendants.

“The United States of America brings this lawsuit to protect the rights that have been guaranteed for 234 years and which the Supreme Court has explicitly reaffirmed several times over the last two decades,” the Justice Department states. Click here to read more.

 

How Illegal Immigration and Government Failure Fuel Identity Theft

More than a million Americans may unwittingly hold second jobs – because that work is being performed by an illegal alien using their stolen social security number.

News of the identity theft can come as a rude shock to citizens like the Minnesota factory worker who had crushing tax bills because of a thrice-deported illegal immigrant in Missouri who was working under his name for years. Or Iowa taxpayers who learned that the superintendent of the Des Moines school system was an illegal immigrant facing a deportation order.

More likely, they may never know that their identity was pilfered, perhaps by one of the 70 illegal workers accused last summer of stealing more than 100 identities so they could work at a Nebraska meatpacking plant, or by one of the 18 individuals charged with “aggravated identity theft, misuse of Social Security numbers, and false statements” in March.

Illegal alien arrested for alleged DUI manslaughter in Lee County following fatal crash that killed pedestrian and dog

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. – A 25-year-old illegal alien was arrested in Lee County on Saturday after an alleged high-speed, alcohol-fueled crash killed a man and a dog walking on a sidewalk the previous night.

The suspect, Ever Alfredo Matias Burgos, is facing charges of DUI manslaughter and multiple counts of DUI following the incident on Pennsylvania Avenue near Rio Vista Circle, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol report that Burgos was driving an SUV when he lost control while approaching a curve, veered off the roadway, and struck a couple and their dog, according to FOX 4.

Here Are Some of the Wackiest Things Featured In Rand Paul’s New Report Alleging $1,639,135,969,608 in Gov’t Waste

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul released the latest edition of his annual “Festivus” report Tuesday detailing over $1 trillion in alleged wasteful spending in the U.S. government throughout 2025.

The newly released report found an estimated $1,639,135,969,608 total in government waste over the past year. Paul, a prominent fiscal hawk who serves as the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement that “no matter how much taxpayer money Washington burns through, politicians can’t help but demand more.”

“Fiscal responsibility may not be the most crowded road, but it’s one I’ve walked year after year — and this holiday season will be no different,” Paul continued. “So, before we get to the Feats of Strength, it’s time for my Airing of (Spending) Grievances.” Click here to read more.

 

Epstein, Israel, and the CIA: How The Iran–Contra Planes Landed at Les Wexner’s Base

When a Southern Air Transport plane was shot down over Nicaragua in October 1986, the world got a rare window into U.S. government covert activity. Southern Air Transport was founded as a small cargo airline in 1947, the same year the Office of Strategic Services evolved into the Central Intelligence Agency as the U.S. pivoted to its Cold War posture. The agency owned the airline outright from 1960 until 1973, at which point it was sold to the same man, Stanley Williams, who had run the company since the Kennedy administration.

The downing of the plane and the testimony of its lone survivor, Eugene Hasenfus, pulled a string that eventually unraveled the scandal known as Iran–Contra. Using Southern Air Transport planes, the CIA was shipping weapons to Iran, using Israel as a middleman, and deploying the profits to arm the Contras against the leftist Nicaraguan government.

After Data Center Boom, Lawmakers Rethink Michigan’s Tax Breaks

LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — What started as an economic development gamble is quickly becoming a political rethink in Michigan.

After lawmakers approved tax exemptions last year to entice massive data centers, the results came quickly: at least 15 hyperscale proposals have emerged across Michigan, stretching from the Grand Rapids region to metro Detroit.

Now, two lawmakers from opposite parties—Reps. Jim DeSana (R-Carleton) and Dylan Wegela (D-Garden City)—are trying to undo those incentives, sponsoring a three-bill package that would repeal the data-center tax exemptions altogether.

They argue the scale of the developments has raised red flags. Click here to read more.

Illinois Education Association spends little on teachers

The Illinois Education Association is the largest teachers union in Illinois, but teachers are not the union’s priority.

The union’s recent 2025 filing with the U.S. Department of Labor reveals trends that should concern members:

  • Less than 17% of IEA’s spending was on representing members – what should be the union’s focus.

  • IEA spent a record-breaking amount on politics, with little transparency.

  • More than one-third of IEA officers and staff received six-figure salaries, while the average Illinois teacher salary was less than $79,000.

IEA membership is lagging. This recent report shows membership is down 6% from its peak in 2018.

Maybe it’s time the union started focusing more on teachers. Click here to read more.

Reps. Scholten, Stevens, McDonald Rivet vote against bill outlawing child sex changes

Michigan’s U.S. Congressional Democrats on Wednesday voted against outlawing sex changes for kids, including surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone therapy.

The 216-211 vote on the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., included four Republicans opposed to and three Democrats in support of moving the measure to the Senate.

Those who crossed party lines include Reps. Gabe Evans, R-Colo.; Brian Fitzpatrick, Pa.; Mike Kennedy, R-Utah; Mike Lawler, R-N.Y.; Henry Cuellar, D-Texas; Don Davis, D-N.C.; and Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas.

“Protecting children is not optional, it’s our duty,” Greene posted on X. “Children are not old enough to vote, drive, or get a tattoo and they are certainly not old enough to be chemically castrated or permanently mutilated!!!” Click here to read more.

 

Record 2026 Refunds Projected Under Trump Tax Cuts

Americans overall can expect the largest tax refunds ever in 2026, thanks to President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

That’s the prediction being promoted by the Trump administration, congressional Republicans, and tax experts as the bill’s cuts begin showing up in household finances, first through refunds, then through bigger take-home pay once federal withholding is adjusted.

The Hill reported that administration officials are projecting “the largest tax refund ever” in 2026 because many workers kept having taxes withheld at higher levels even after the bill was signed into law.

House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., pointed to a December memo citing a Piper Sandler analysis suggesting 2026 is shaping up to be "the largest tax refund season," The Hill said. Click here to read more.

 

Turning Point USA honors Target employee confronted by customer for wearing Charlie Kirk shirt

Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and widow of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, publicly recognized Jeannie Beeman at the AmericaFest 2025 conference on Saturday, praising her response to a widely shared confrontation at work earlier this month.

Beeman, 72, a Target employee from Chico, California, went viral after a video showed a customer challenging her for wearing a red “Freedom” T-shirt, a design associated with Charlie Kirk, who was wearing a similar one when he was assassinated.

The customer accosted Beeman and said she supports racism. During the encounter, Beeman chose not to engage in an argument and ended the exchange, drawing widespread attention online. Click here to read more.
