Two Largest Teachers Unions in U.S. Funneled $43.5 Million to Left-Wing Groups

The two largest teachers unions in the U.S. have dumped a combined $43.5 million into left-wing groups since 2022, according to a conservative watchdog group report.

National nonprofit group Defending Education released a report last week detailing the contributions of the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers to far-left groups and causes, citing disclosures to the Department of Labor, Fox News reported.

“It is clear that the teachers’ unions’ priorities are advancing far-left politics and radical social justice issues, not the education of children,” Defending Ed researcher Rhyen Staley told the outlet. “This is a slap in the face to families and teachers who want to focus on helping students improve their reading and math skills. It is time that Congress acts to stop this obscene redistribution of public monies to advance left-wing identity politics. Click here to read more.

CBS News ‘Shamefully Edited’ Interview To ‘Whitewash’ Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Background, Noem Says

CBS News edited an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “whitewash” the criminal background of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, according to Noem.

Noem appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” on Sunday and defended the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Abrego Garcia, who is currently challenging his planned removal to Uganda.

The Homeland Security Secretary said that Abrego Garcia, who is in the United States illegally, committed crimes against children and his wife, but when her interview aired on CBS News, the network had cut out the part in which Noem had talked specifically about the accusations that Abrego Garcia is facing.

“And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure that he doesn’t walk free in the United States of America,” Noem said in a clip that aired on Face The Nation.

The edit cut short Noem’s response, which continued on for nearly 30 more seconds. Click here to read more.

 

11-year-old boy fatally shot after ‘ding dong ditch’ doorbell-ringing prank, police say

An 11-year-old boy was fatally shot in Houston after a prank in which he rang the doorbell of a home and ran away, police said Sunday.

The boy had been ringing doorbells as a prank late Saturday evening, the Houston Police Department said in a statement. Commonly referred to as “ding dong ditching,” the prank involves fleeing before someone inside the home opens the door.

The boy, who has not yet been identified, died of his wounds Sunday, police said.

Police spokesperson Shay Awosiyan said that officers were still investigating and had not arrested anybody in connection with the boy’s death as of Sunday evening.

Other “ding dong ditch” pranks have turned deadly in the past. In 2023, a Southern California man was convicted on three counts of first-degree murder for killing three teenage boys by intentionally ramming their car after they rang his doorbell as a prank. Click here to read more.

 

Wisconsin bill would ban concealed carry on college campuses

MADISON, Wis. — Carrying a concealed weapon would be illegal at public and private universities and colleges under a Democratic bill introduced Wednesday.

The legislation, proposed by Sen. Kelda Roys, D- Madison, and Rep. Brienne Brown, D- Whitewater, would extend the same protections that apply to public and private K-12 schools by prohibiting both open and concealed carry guns, with exceptions for law enforcement and campus-sanctioned activities.

“Nobody should be living with the fear of gun violence, but certainly not young people on college campuses across the state,” Roys said in announcing the legislation. “In terms of our drafting, it’s quite simple: Wisconsin already has gun-free school zones across the state, and this bill simply applies those protections to college campuses.”

Currently, colleges and universities are allowed to post signs prohibiting concealed carry weapons on their campuses, punishable by a citation for trespassing — which is a forfeiture, not a crime — and up to a $1,000 fine. People with legal concealed carry permits are exempt from the rules. Click here to read more.

School Board Member Alleges Information Withheld in Proposed $40 Million School Sale

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. — Tensions flared at a recent Swartz Creek School Board meeting after a board member claimed he was not given key information about a potential $40 million sale of Moorish Elementary School to a state-backed development project.

Board member Chuck Melki alleged that documents related to the proposed sale were withheld from him and the public. The school sits within a large industrial site in Mundy Township where the state of Michigan has already spent $259 million to clear land for a potential factory project. Despite the investment, several companies have declined to move in, leaving the land vacant.

“I wasn’t given all the information about the possible sale of this school,” Melki said during the meeting, adding that he recently learned documents existed as far back as May indicating the property could be sold. He accused the district’s former superintendent, who has since left for another district, of withholding the paperwork.

Board member Carrie ...

Gov. Whitmer donor gets $10M while hungry Michiganders get food benefits stolen

Two Michigan women each received money from state taxpayers. But their similarities ended there.

While Michigan resident Kaiysha Warner slept, a criminal stole $762 of her food stamp benefits, from more than 680 miles away in Massachusetts. She found out through a notice that appeared on her phone, which revealed a transaction she had no part of.

Michigan won’t reimburse those stolen benefits, offered through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, leaving her and her family hungry.

About 1.4 million Michiganders with low incomes spend public money using Bridge Cards at grocery stores, farmers markets and gas stations. The card-swipe technology on a standard Bridge card is vulnerable to data theft by criminals who can install skimmers on the card readers that process electronic payment cards. The dollar amount of reported food stamp fraud increased from fiscal year 2023 to 2024 by 387%, according to documents Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained through a records request.

Selling every NBA team wouldn’t be enough to fill Illinois’ pension hole

Illinois’ public pension crisis is the worst in the nation and shows no sign of improving anytime soon.

A new report from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability confirms that despite better than expected investment returns, the state’s unfunded pension liabilities rose another $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2024 to $143 Billion. This marks the third consecutive year of rising pension debt, but is part of a much longer trend that threatens taxpayers, retirees and state services.

The funding ratio – the measure of assets on hand to pay future obligations – ticked up slightly from 44.6% to 46.1%. However, until structural reform is enacted to lower the unfunded liabilities, this minor improvement in the funding ratio won’t offer real relief to the taxpayers trying to keep these pensions afloat. These remain some of the worst-funded pension systems in the nation. Click here to read more.

 

New animated movie aims to bring story of Jesus to life through eyes of John the disciple

A new 2D-animated movie, told through the eyes of Jesus’ beloved disciple John, will be released in theaters on Sept. 5, taking viewers from the beginning of Jesus’ ministry to his passion, death, and resurrection. “Light of the World” is the first movie from the Salvation Poem Project, a nonprofit ministry and independent studio that crafts stories to share Jesus Christ with the world.

Brennan McPherson, producer of the film, told CNA in an interview that his team chose to tell the story from John’s perspective because he was likely the youngest disciple so they believe his perspective is the most relatable.

“Telling it from the perspective of a young teenager — young kids want to age up and they see themselves in that. Teenagers are going through those formative years, so they relate with it. And then adults know what that formative time in their life was like. So it made it more appealing to a full family,” he explained.

He added that the filmmakers “wanted to show how the Gospel changed a young boy’s life and how it can still change our lives today.” Click here to read more.

 

Feds Threaten to Pull Millions Unless Michigan Strips “Gender Ideology” from Sex Ed

WASHINGTON, DC – The Trump administration is putting Michigan on notice: remove all references to “gender ideology” from federally funded sex education or risk losing millions in federal grants.

In an August 26 letter to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ordered the state to rewrite its Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) curriculum within 60 days. Michigan receives roughly $3.4 million annually in federal funding for the program, which serves students ages 12 to 18.

The letter flagged lessons that define gender as separate from biological sex, encourage students to share pronouns, and promote inclusivity for transgender and nonbinary youth. Federal officials said this content violates PREP’s statutory mission, which is to teach abstinence, contraception, and life skills – not gender identity concepts. Click here to read more.

 

President Trump demands COVID vaccine data following chaos at CDC

WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump is now re-litigating the record and response to one of the deadliest pandemics in history.

\On one hand, he praises his own effort to help create vaccines at a rapid rate, known as Operation Warp Speed, but also questions the outcome.

In a post on Truth Social, he called on drug companies to justify the success of their COVID-19 drugs, the debate over which, he says, is causing the CDC to be torn apart. Adding that he wants the answer and he wants it now, as his Secretary vows more changes.

During a news conference in Texas on Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said.

The CDC is an agency that is very troubled for a very long time. And anybody who lived through the Covid pandemic and saw all of these bizarre recommendations that were not science-based, all the misinformation...understands that.

Secretary Kennedy also defended the firing of the CDC Director over vaccine policy, prompting the resignation of several others. Click here to read more.
