Whitmer’s Michigan: LG delays EV battery production despite $120 million from taxpayers

An electric vehicle battery plant constructed near Lansing with $120 million from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration is again delaying production as EV sales slump.

South Korea-based LG Energy Solution on Friday delayed production at its EV battery plant in Delta Township, which was sold to taxpayers as a joint venture with General Motors to boost the EV industry, “industry sources” told Business Korea.

Despite the MEDC paying out $120 million in tax dollars to support the project, GM backed out of the agreement in May, and LG pushed its production start date back a year.

“The mass production timeline had already been delayed once from 2024 to 2025 due to slowing electric vehicle sales, and now the operation schedule has been postponed again as demand dropped sharply following the termination of U.S. electric vehicle subsidies,” according to Business Korea, which reports production is now expected to start in the second half of 2026.

Harvard President Admits University ‘Went Wrong’ Allowing Professor Activism in Classrooms

Harvard’s leader admitted the university allowing professors to express their personal views in the classroom was a bad idea that has “chilled free speech and debate on campus.”

Harvard University President Alan Garber made his remarks during an episode of the Identity/Crisis Podcast, the Harvard Crimson reported Saturday.

According to the article, Garber argued that “faculty activism had chilled free speech and debate on campus.”

He stated, “And we had a rule that the faculty could support different, on their own time basically, different political views, but in their teaching, they had to be completely objective. That’s what had shifted, and that’s where I think we went wrong.” Click here to read more.

Trump administration delivers historic $50 billion boost to rural health care in all 50 states

WASHINGTON — In a major victory for rural Americans, the Trump administration on Monday announced the distribution of funds from the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program, ensuring every state receives substantial support to modernize and strengthen health care in underserved communities.

The initiative, the largest federal investment in rural health care in U.S. history, was created through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Legislation, a Republican-led effort that every Democrat in Congress opposed. Click here to learn more.

 

Mortgage rates hold steady after Fed rate cut

Mortgage rates this week fell to their lowest level in 15 months, easing borrowing costs for homebuyers eager for a thaw in the housing market in 2026.

The average interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage stands at 6.15%, plummeting from a level of 6.89% in May, data from financial services company Freddie Mac showed. Last January, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate exceeded 7%.

Each percentage point decrease in a mortgage rate can save thousands or tens of thousands in additional cost each year, depending on the price of the house, according to lender Rocket Mortgage

Sam Khater, the chief economist at Freddie Mac, called the drop in mortgage rates an “encouraging sign for potential homebuyers heading into the new year.” Click here to read more.

 

‘Y’all left my baby for dead’: 11-year-old shot, killed near playground on New Year’s Day

CINCINNATI, OH- A family is mourning the loss of an 11-year-old girl after a shooting happened near a playground on New Year’s Day.

According to Cincinnati police, the shooting happened near Laurel Playground at around 6:45 p.m. in the West End.

District 1 officers said they were flagged down about someone being shot that night.

When police arrived, they found a little girl, later identified as QueenEr’Re Reed, suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where she died from her injuries.

Cincinnati officials are calling it a senseless act of violence.

Former Cincinnati mayoral candidate Cory Bowman, who is the pastor at the Reed family church, said QueenEr’Re was playing with her cousins when the gunshots were fired. Click here to read more.

Close the backdoor drug pipeline that’s emboldening enemies and harming the public

It’s not often that Congress gets a do-over or can correct the unintended consequences of the laws they pass. As a former acting secretary of Homeland Security, I saw first-hand how legal loopholes are exploited — by both U.S. entities and our adversaries — and their impact on the American people. That impact can largely be classified as either a public safety or ational security threat, and in many instances — both.

Today, we are seeing such impacts playing out with the highly potent drugs made with hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) flooding the market with largely unregulated distribution to America’s youth. Click here to read more.


 

Covid-19 vaccine injury program paid for one death in March, denials exceed 98%

The federal government’s Covid-19 vaccine injury compensation program paid benefits for seven injuries in March, including one death.

As of April 1, the program has compensated 51 of 6,944 claims decided, while denying 6,847 — a denial rate exceeding 98%.

The March payment marked only the second death benefit issued since the start of the pandemic.

The Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP), created under the PREP Act, is the primary path for claims related to Covid-19 vaccines. The law shields manufacturers from liability during public health emergencies. Click here to read more.

Playing Cops: Criminals Pretending To Be Police Is a National Problem

Working at a 24/7 bodega in the heart of Brooklyn, Tajuken Deli employees are prepared for almost anything – except having guns pointed at their heads by cops.

That’s what seemed to be happening one early April morning last year, when four armed men dressed in police uniforms flashed their badges, yelling “NYPD” as they stormed the neighborhood shop. Surveillance video shows one worker being quickly knocked to the ground and zip-tied into submission before being dragged to the back of the store. Another worker and customer were also subdued as the masked thieves dressed as cops made off with cash and a bag of lottery ticket receipts before fleeing in a dark van.

“You don’t know who to trust nowadays,” local resident Danny Taylor told a TV reporter. Click here to read more.

 

UFO whistleblowers issue chilling warning after Air Force officer was found dead before he could testify

UFO whistleblowers are facing alleged attempts to silence them as they move to expose what they believe are some of America’s most closely guarded secrets.

Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell, who has helped bring multiple whistleblowers before Congress, warned that the risks facing these individuals extend far beyond public scrutiny.

‘They’re giving up their security clearance, they’re giving up their security, they’re putting their family at risk, they’re putting themselves at risk, if by stigma alone,’ Corbell, who details several cases in his upcoming film Sleeping Dog, told the Daily Mail. Click here to read more.

 

Big Brother Is Riding Shotgun: Driver

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new surveillance era is set to get behind the wheel next year.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed by Congress in 2021 and billed as a way to help the country recover from the COVID-19 shutdowns, included a statute requiring new cars to have driver-monitoring systems. The goal is to detect impaired drivers through cameras and sensors that analyze eye movement, head position, and alertness.

U.S. Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow (now retired) voted for the bill. In addition, then-House Representatives Dan Kildee, Elissa Slotkin, Andy Levin, Haley Stevens, Debbie Dingell, and Brenda Lawrence, all Democrats, voted yes. GOP Representative Fred Upton, now retired, also voted yes. Click here to read more.
