Michigan Couple Takes State to Federal Court Claiming State of Michigan tried to Coerce Them

Stephen and Deborah Gmeiner, property owners in Antrim County, Michigan, have filed a brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, challenging a district court’s ruling that dismissed their lawsuit against Keri Kent, an environmental quality analyst with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

The case, Gmeiner v. Kent, centers on allegations that EGLE officials said they would not issue the Gmeiners a wetlands permit unless they promised to release state officials from any legal liability that might arise from the property for which they seek a permit. This condition, the lawsuit alleges, violates constitutional principles and exceeds the department’s authority. Click here to read more.

 

Virginia Democrats Move To Soften Robbery Laws

Virginia Democrats are once again tinkering with criminal law, this time under the soothing language of “conforming,” but the substance of HB 244 tells a far more troubling story.

Introduced earlier this month by Democratic delegate Vivian Watts and now sitting in the House Courts of Justice Committee, HB 244 purports to update statutory references to robbery so they align with the tiered robbery system enacted in 2021. But buried inside the bureaucratic phrasing is a sweeping reworking of how robbery is treated across sentencing, parole, and early release laws — changes that consistently tilt in one direction: lighter consequences for criminals.

The bill narrows the definition of “acts of violence” to include only the two highest degrees of robbery, excluding the lower degrees from that category. It alters how robbery offenses are scored under sentencing guidelines, potentially reducing recommended prison time. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Supreme Court Will Hear Case Against Wayne County Over Retaliatory Criminal Charges

LANSING, Mich.—Today, the Michigan Supreme Court agree to hear Robert Reeves’s case against Wayne County over retaliatory criminal charges he faced after he sued the county over its unconstitutional forfeiture of his car. Robert was twice dragged through baseless criminal proceedings after he stood up for his rights under the U.S. Constitution. The Institute for Justice (IJ) represents Robert in both his case challenging the county’s forfeiture machine and this case challenging the retaliation by county prosecutors.

“When a government official violates a Michigander’s constitutional rights, the harm is the same whether that official works for the state or a local government,” said IJ Senior Attorney Kirby Thomas West. “We look forward to establishing that, in either case, victims deserve to be compensated for violation of their rights.”

Last year, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that a Wayne County prosecutor must face Robert’s lawsuit but that he could not bring a suit for money damages against Wayne County or its employees for violations of his rights under the Michigan Constitution. Click here to read more.

Nigerian professor pleads guilty to stealing $1.4 million from Grand Rapids preschool nonprofit

A highly acclaimed Nigerian professor at Aquinas College is facing two decades in prison after she admitted to swindling more than $1 million from taxpayers and poor minority children in West Michigan.

Nkechy Ezeh, founder and CEO of the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative, pleaded guilty last week to wire fraud and tax evasion in a scheme that forced the nonprofit to shut down after a dozen years preparing about 8,000 preschoolers for kindergarten in Kent County, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, WOOD reports.

Ezeh worked with ELNC bookkeeper Sharon Killebrew to create nearly $500,000 in fake invoices, as well as created fake daycare businesses to siphon off hundreds of thousands of dollars more, which Ezeh used for personal travel to Hawaii, Nigeria and Liberia, according to court documents cited by the news site.

MOrtgage Rates dipped again this week, with the 30-year fixed rate averaging 6.18%, down from 6.24% last week and the lowest level since September 2022, according to Bankrate’s latest lender survey.

Within Three Years, The Most Intolerant People On Earth Could Control The Internet

On March 15th, 2021, an anonymous Twitter user asked Harvard Medical professor Martin Kulldorff a question. “Do you think younger age groups and or people who have already had the virus need to be vaccinated?”

Who is Martin Kulldorff? He’s a Harvard Medical School professor for 21 years, a well-known Swedish biostatistician who developed widely used software for disease mapping, the co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration on how to deal with the COVID pandemic, and an advisor to the world’s leading health organizations.

What he said was that “Thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should get COVID. Vaccines are important for older high-risk people and their caretakers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it, nor do children.” Click here to read more.

 

DOJ civil rights chief puts ex-CNN host Don Lemon ‘on notice’ for joining anti-ICE church invasion

Fired CNN host Don Lemon might get prosecuted by the Justice Department for joining anti Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters who stormed a Minnesota church service Sunday because the pastor is allegedly tied to ICE, Civil Rights Division Chief Harmeet Dhillon implied Sunday night.

The assistant attorney general had already confirmed her division was investigating potential violations of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act by the church crashers, a rare but statutorily permissible use of the 1994 law. The law has overwhelmingly been used to prosecute pro life activists who sought to blockade abortion clinics, with President Trump pardoning 23 in his first week back in office.

“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest,” Dhillon wrote, sharing quotes from Todd Starnes of Don Lemon, now an independent video journalist, who explained to viewers that crashing the church was justified by “the freedom to protest” and that “protests are not comfortable.” Click here to read more.

 

Tourists gunned down at Florida rental home: ‘We lost three people’

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Three people were gunned down at a Florida rental home Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

Osceola County Sheriff Chris Blackmon said at 12:14 p.m., his deputies responded to a shots fired call at the the Indian Point subdivision near Kissimmee, Florida.

When the first deputy got to the scene, he found all three victims dead from apparent gunshot wounds in front of the home.

“We lost three people, which is sad because it’s three tourists that come here to visit our area,” Blackmon said. “It’s cold-blooded. It was premeditated. There was absolutely no issues. There was no conflict between these people. This was random, and this happened to be the person that lived next door.”

Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputies located the suspect — Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, of Kissimmee — in a house next to the rental property and arrested him. 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.

From Viral Videos to FBI Raids: Why Dearborn Is Drawing National Attention

DEARBORN, Mich. – Before Minneapolis, YouTube reporter Nick Shirley walked through the city of Dearborn as Muslim men yelled, “Allahu Akbar.”

Shirley was in town in November, about six weeks before he would break the childcare fraud scandal in Minnesota that brought down Gov. Tim Walz.

“I have a question for you guys,” Shirley asked a group fo Arab men on the street harassing Christian marchers, one of whom had threatened to burn a Quran. “If America were to get in a war … with a country like Iraq, would you guys defend America or Iraq?”

A young Muslim man walked toward the camera and yelled, “We would defend our brothers in Iraq! That’s the only way!.” Click here to read more.

Socialists Planning to Replicate Minneapolis Chaos to Combat ICE Sweeps in New York City

New York City socialists are marshaling an army of more than 4,000 activists to form “rapid response” brigades to disrupt federal immigration enforcement in an expected crackdown on illegal aliens in America’s largest city.

According to a report Sunday in the New York Post, “Mayor Mamdani’s comrades” with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) revealed their disruptive mission against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity during a monthly meeting earlier in the week of the “Chinese Communist Party-linked” People’s Forum.

’As we’ve seen in other cities, we still do anticipate a big wave of federal immigration enforcement,’ a DSA leader who only identified herself as Marina told the crowd of more than 100 members,” according to the Post. Click here to read more.

 

MEDC, facing embezzlement scandal, refuses to name fired staff

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is refusing to release a list of employees it has fired in the last five years.

Michigan Capitol Confidential asked 11 state agencies for records about how many people they fired since 2020. Ten agencies provided the information immediately. The one agency that did not respond — the development corporation — is embroiled in an embezzlement scandal.

Legislators are considering several bills to dismantle the agency after a reporter revealed that it gave a $20 million grant to one of its board members who then spent that money on an $11,000 plane ticket and a $4,500 coffee maker. Click here to read more.

 

Former school superintendent arrested for failure to report child abuse

GLADEWATER, Texas (KLTV) - The former superintendent for Union Grove ISD was arrested on a charge of knowingly failing to make a required child abuse report.

In July 2025, the school district accepted Kelly Moore’s resignation as superintendent, paying out the remainder of her $130,000 contract.

In the weeks prior, community members voiced concerns over an incident of alleged invasive recording inside a school bathroom between two students. One parent complained to the school board that the video circulated, and his complaint to Moore had gone unaddressed.

Through a public information request, we learned Moore sent the video to the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office on June 11. She stated to the sheriff’s office that the video had been sent to her in mid-May. Click here to read more.
