Jocelyn Benson’s husband Ryan Friedrichs is an advisor steering hundreds of millions in tax dollars for Rx Kids ‘free’ cash program

Ryan Friedrichs, husband to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, is helping distribute hundreds of millions in tax dollars to expectant mothers in Michigan through a program proven to increase voter turnout.

Benson, who is overseeing her own election for governor as the Democratic frontrunner, could directly benefit from the program as it scrambles to expand to reliably Democratic areas of the state in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms.

Friedrichs is among 29 members serving on the Rx Kids Advisory Circle that’s helping to helm the nonprofit’s “leadership on fund development, program design, state and national policy, communications, and dissemination,” according to the program’s website.

Others in the circle of trust have strong ties to and close relationships with liberal activist groups promoting universal basic income, Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts, benefits for illegal immigrants, labor unions, pro-Palestinian protests, and other left-wing causes.

Bill creating ‘Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday’ passed Alabama House

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A tax-free weekend for guns and ammunition passed on Alabama’s House floor Tuesday afternoon.

Nearly every state republican House member is sponsoring the bill.

House Bill 360 would make ammunition, firearms and hunting supply purchases exempt from state sales tax annually from the last Friday in August to the following Sunday.

The legislature estimates that this could take away around $386 thousand from the state’s Education Trust Fund every year, and if local governments opt in to the program, about $500 thousand from county and municipal funds. Click here to read more.

Citizen journalists, citizen sleuths helping to unravel the tangle of Epstein documents

When sifting through the seemingly endless collection of documents in the Epstein files gets to be too much and Ellie Leonard needs a break, she takes a walk outside. Then it’s back to the computer.

The New Jersey mother of four is among hundreds of citizen-journalists, or sleuths, absorbed by the material connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein. She’s determined to learn the stories behind his illicit sex ring and relationships with some of the world’s most powerful people, and publish what she finds on Substack.

“I like a good puzzle,” Leonard said. “I like an investigation. I like things that we have to solve and looking for clues.” Click here to read more.

 

AGs from AZ and CA sue feds over childhood vaccine overhaul

he attorneys general of California and Arizona on Tuesday announced Democrats’ multi-state lawsuit to block the Trump administration’s overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule.

Democratic officials are calling the federal action unlawful.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said the suit names the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as defendants.

The suit goes after “HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the CDC over their needless, confusing, scientifically unfound and unlawful revision of America’s immunization schedule,” said Mayes during a virtual press conference with California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Three Mexican citizens have been indicted on federal charges for allegedly running a human trafficking ring that lured agricultural workers from Mexico into forced labor on farms across Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida.

Flint man says city won't help him withe next door eyesoar.

He did everything right. Bought a broken-down home in Flint and rebuilt it for his family. Now he’s living next to a burned-out property that’s been sitting for months. He says he’s called for help over and over with no response. This is what happens when people trying to do the right thing are left on their own.

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.
