Mother of Slain D.C. Intern: Trump Taking His Death More Seriously Than Local Officials

WASHINGTON D.C. - The mother of a congressional intern who became a victim of crime in Washington, DC, when he was fatally shot is pushing back against the D.C. Council, saying President Donald Trump’s administration is taking her loss more seriously than those officials.

“[Tamara] Jachym said ‘of course’ the Trump administration is taking her son’s death more seriously than the D.C. Council. ‘Or [the D.C. Council] would change the laws so 12- to 17-year-olds are booked and charged for crimes and get jail time or juvenile detention,'” she explained to Fox News during an interview published Sunday.

New Orleans mayor indicted on federal charges; accused of using funds for personal relationship

NEW ORLEANS - A federal indictment alleges New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and former New Orleans Police Department Officer Jeffrey Vappie carried out a years‑long fraud scheme that used city funds for personal purposes.

The indictment also alleges that the two concealed a romantic relationship while Vappie was on the mayor’s executive protection detail.

Prosecutors say they exchanged more than 15,000 WhatsApp messages, photos and audio clips in eight months, arranged at least 14 domestic and international trips and charged over $70,000 in travel to the city as Vappie claimed on‑duty hours.

The president has already federalized D.C.’s police department and deployed 800 National Guard troops to help with this effort. Additionally, the city is now cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), tackling illegal immigration.

“Went on a run through DC tonight. Insane amount of people out doing the same,” James Laverty posted to X on Thursday. “Cops everywhere but the vibe was different. People feel safe again. Common sense prevails.” Click here to read more.

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 ...

Transgender Activists Use Far-Left Smear Factory to Cancel Doctor Education Courses That Raise Doubts About ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

Doctors must take continuing medical education courses to maintain their licenses, and transgender activists took objection to one of these courses, leading a nationwide institution to effectively cancel it.

Washington State University had spent nearly a year reviewing—and then approving—a course explaining the side effects of experimental transgender medical interventions on children and Europe’s growing rejection of “gender-affirming care.” Yet activists cried foul, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center, a pro-transgender activist group best known for demonizing conservatives.

79-year-old landlord fatally shot naked trespasser who was attacking tenant, police say

LOS ANGELES (KCAL/KCBS) - It’s difficult to make out exactly what the naked man was saying in the surveillance video, but it’s clear to see what happens next.

He picks up what looks like street signs while screaming, then suddenly runs across Tujunga Avenue in Los Angeles.

“He just was walking up and down the sidewalk. Then he saw the gate was open and ran over there in their gate,” one witness described.

Neighbors say they heard screaming, which turned into gunfire. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan budget deal: two steps forward, one step back

Michigan lawmakers don’t have to agree on much each year, other than how to spend all the money that the state collects from its taxes. Partisans needed to compromise with each other to do this, since Republicans hold a majority in the House and there is a Democratic governor with a Democratic majority Senate. Both sides were going to have to give up something and get something in order to pass a budget. What they came up with has a number of positive features.

Lawmakers will likely get to the point where roads are fixed faster than they fall apart, and they mostly got there without raising taxes. They substituted the sales tax levied on fuel, which largely goes to schools, for a per-gallon tax on fuel, which goes to transportation purposes. Click here to read more.
