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.

Michigan school bond approval rates fall

Voters in towns around Michigan are saying no to school bond initiatives at an increasing rate. That hasn’t stopped school districts from asking again — in one case, coming back with an even higher request.

Bridge Michigan analyzed bond data provided by Gongwer News Service in 2024.

About 75% of the 170 bonds put on ballots statewide were approved from 2018 to 2020.

That rate has dropped substantially after that. MIRS News reports that 45.5% of school bond questions passed in 2025 — a decline of 29.5 percentage points. Click here to read more.


 

Popular lake closes after dam release kills ‘approximately 100% of fish population’

PERIDOT, Ariz. (WKRC) - A popular lake closed after a dam release killed “approximately 100% of the fish population.”

San Carlos Lake has been closed to the public until further notice after a significant fish kill wiped out nearly the entire fish population, according to the San Carlose Recreation and WIldlife Department,

Department officials announced the closure in a public notice, citing health and safety concerns associated with decomposing fish in and around the lake.

Recent drought conditions, combined with water releases from the dam, resulted in a fish kill affecting approximately 100% of the lake’s fish population, the department said.

As a result, fishing, harvesting or possessing fish from the lake, and any recreational activities associated with fishing are prohibited until further notice. Click here to read more.

Court throws out conviction of man accused of secondary role in Gov. Whitmer kidnap plot

DETROIT — The Michigan Court of Appeals on Tuesday threw out the conviction of a man who was found guilty of a secondary role in a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.

Joe Morrison was convicted of providing material support for an act of terrorism and other charges. In a 3-0 ruling, the appeals court reversed the results on technical grounds, saying kidnapping is not an underlying violent felony that can support a conviction under Michigan’s terrorism law.

Morrison, 32, has been in prison since 2022. He was given a minimum sentence of 10 years for three crimes, but the length was subsequently reduced to six years. Click here to read more.

 

New Jersey man charged with attempting to aid ISIS terrorists in U.S. attack plots

NEWARK, N.J. — A 22-year-old Wayne, New Jersey, man was charged Monday with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), federal authorities announced.

Mohamed Sagha faces one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Newark. He made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Leda D. Wettre and was ordered detained.

“As alleged, the defendant sought to support ISIS and expressed interest in violence directed at targets within the United States, including places of worship,” U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer said in a statement. “Those who seek to advance the objectives of foreign terrorist organizations should expect a swift and coordinated response from federal law enforcement.” Click here to read more.

 

Socialist Seattle Mayor Debuts Tiny Homes for Homeless, Says Sobriety Not Required

Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson debuted 50 of 1000 planned tiny homes for homeless residents on Sunday, as the city works to manage its homelessness problem ahead of the World Cup.

Twenty-five more are expected to be completed by the end of the month. Wilson said homeless people will not be required to be sober or undergo addiction or recovery treatment to live there, KOMO reported.

“The process of recovery is really complicated and difficult, and so we’re not demanding that people be abstinent when they enter this village,” the 43-year-old mayor said: Wilson admitted that the city had failed to reach her goal of building 500 units ahead of the World Cup, which is beginning on Thursday.

Michigan school board opposes help for private and public school students

The Michigan Board of Education approved a resolution in May to oppose a federal tax credit that would help public and private school students with supplies, tutoring, tuition and special needs intervention.

The state board approved, by a 5-2 vote, a resolution citing a section of the Michigan Constitution prohibiting public money from being used for private schools.

The May 12 vote came five days after a bipartisan poll showed that 72% of Michigan voters support the credit. A separate, smaller poll said 61% of respondents think Michigan should opt out of the program. Click here to read more.


 

Nearly 9 in 10 kids use AI; report flags concerns over educational, emotional dependencies

A new report examining artificial intelligence usage among children and teenagers should serve as a “pretty big wake-up call” for parents, educators and policymakers, said Common Sense Media Founder and CEO Jim Steyer.

“AI’s takeover of childhood has happened in just three years, about twice as fast as social media took to take hold,” Steyer said.

AI is spreading like wildfire in digital products kids use in and out of school, and efforts to protect kids just aren’t keeping up with the risks, he said. Click here to read more.

Illegal Alien Who Tried to Flee U.S. Before Sentencing for Repeatedly Raping Middle-School Girl Is Found, Gets 100 Years in Prison

An illegal alien who tried to flee the United States before being sentenced for repeatedly raping a preteen girl over the course of three years has been found and sentenced to 100 years in prison.

Jorge Alberto Campos, a 42-year-old illegal alien, was handed a 100-year prison sentence for sexually abusing his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter at their residence in Castle Rock over the course of three years.

As Breitbart News reported, Campos was convicted of five counts of sexual assault of a child.

Campos, though, did not show up to hear the verdict and police found his ankle monitor, which was placed on him as part of his pre-trial release from jail, in a dumpster near his residence. Click here to read more.

 

New Jersey Republicans Find Hundreds of Noncitizens on Voter Rolls: ‘It’s Really Eye-Opening’

Republican leaders in New Jersey have reportedly found hundreds of noncitizens listed on voter rolls, and some of them had a voting record.

The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) uncovered the information when they asked for the voter rolls from all 21 counties, Fox News reported Monday.

Those individuals were reportedly seeking naturalization and wanted their names removed. Many of them were registered as Democrats but claimed they did not know they had been registered and were concerned it might disqualify them from becoming citizens.

The news came after New Jersey GOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon said in May the state party was launching an Election Integrity Task Force, the New Jersey Globe reported at the time. Click here to read more.

Critics say anti-violence program pays criminals

Rep. Emily Dievendorf, D-Lansing, requested $2 million in taxpayer funding for a nonprofit program that has drawn criticism in other states for reportedly working with violent offenders while not cooperating with police investigations.

The earmark request, submitted on behalf of Ingham County, would fund the Advance Peace program in the Lansing area through 2028.

The program aims to reduce shootings by intervening with individuals considered most likely to commit gun violence, according to the legislatively directed spending request. Click here to read more.


 

Violent Crime Drops as More Americans Pack Heat

Alessandra Coote was walking on a trail with her 2-year-old daughter and dog two-and-a-half years ago when a man began yelling at her and threatened to kill her dog. When the petite single mom made it back to her Utah home, she decided she needed a firearm for protection.

A few months later, while living in what she described as a “shady part of town,” a homeless man threatened her. After that encounter, she began regularly carrying a firearm under Utah’s Constitutional Carry law.

Coote, who just graduated this spring from the University of Utah, says carrying the gun has given her the confidence to feel safe in public. “It’s been life-changing,” she told RealClearInvestigations. Although she has never had to draw or fire the weapon, she has faced a threatening individual when she was armed, but stopped the attack by merely letting the man know she was carrying.

Memo reveals Florida’s plan to pursue organizers of social media-fueled ‘teen takeovers’

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Office of Statewide Prosecution is seeking assistance from law enforcement agencies across the state as prosecutors prepare a coordinated effort to investigate and potentially charge organizers behind a series of social media-fueled “teen takeover” events, according to a memorandum obtained by Florida’s Voice.

In a memo sent to Florida law enforcement agencies, Statewide Prosecutor Bradley McVay said the state has experienced a recent wave of unlawful gatherings organized through social media that have resulted in violence, arrests and public safety concerns in multiple regions of Florida.

American journalist pleads guilty to acting as unregistered agent for China

An American who worked as an editor and commentator for state-run media in China, Thomas Pauken II, pleaded guilty Thursday to working as an unregistered agent for the Chinese government in the U.S.

During a roughly 40-minute hearing in Alexandria, Virginia, Pauken, 51, told U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema he was unaware of the legal requirement to register before acting for a foreign government, but he also said he understood that his lack of knowledge was not a defense to the charge.

The hearing shed no light on one of the mysteries of Pauken’s case: the identity of a Trump administration official Pauken helped connect to a Chinese government contact Pauken knew as “Cathy.” That U.S. official, described as “Person 1” in court filings, was still working in the government as of February, according to an affidavit an FBI agent filed in support of the criminal case.

Economic frustrations fuel concerns for Republicans in midterms

Warning signs are flashing for Republicans ahead of the November midterms as Americans are growing more pessimistic about the economy and placing blame of President Donald Trump.

American consumers have grown increasingly agitated about the state of the economy with inflation running high every year since COVID even as jobs have been plentiful and growth has been mostly steady. The recent spike in gas prices tied to the war with Iran has put that frustration into overdrive and many voters say they blame Trump and his policies for making life more expensive.

Trump has argued the goal of preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is worth the cost of higher oil prices and has at times dismissed concerns about the cost of gasoline and the impact they will have on the midterms. He came into office promising to make life more affordable for Americans after years of struggles with inflation during the Biden administration and has had a hard time convincing voters of progress.
