Governor Poised to Sign Bill Taking Money Away From Family Caretakers To Pay off Union Bosses

/1 Comment/in , /by

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is poised to sign a bill that will allow union bosses in her state to take a cut of family caretakers’ pay.

Michigan’s Home Help program reimburses the in-home caretakers of some seniors and disabled people using Medicaid dollars — with many of these caretakers being family members or close friends. A bill recently passed by Michigan’s Democratic-led Legislature, which Whitmer has stated she will sign, would reclassify these caretakers as public employees and push them to join the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

“What this bill is going to end up doing is taking money away from hard-working, caring, loving family members who, out of the goodness of their own hearts, are making sure that their loved ones are receiving the at-home treatment that they need in a bid to build more revenue for union bosses,” Republican Michigan state Rep. Bill Schuette told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It was rushed through in a single session day.”

The legislation would require that all personal caretakers attend an orientation program and mandate that a union representative be allowed to speak at that orientation. If passed, the law would require that union reps be allowed to distribute and collect materials and grant them the right to give a 30-minute-long presentation on unionization to the caretakers.

“When I left Fox, I went to MGM for one picture – thank goodness only one. And when I got there with my mother, we were separated. She went into the office of Louis B. Mayer, and I went into the office of Arthur Freed,” Temple said. (Read more from “Shirley Temple Once Called Out Hollywood’s Pedophilia Problem in 1988 Larry King Interview That’s Going Viral” HERE)

Tragic Final Words of Grandson Swept Away in Hurricane Helene Floodwater: ‘Jesus Save Me’

By Daily Mail. A little boy cried ‘Jesus, save me’ moments before he was swept to death by Hurricane Helene floods in North Carolina.

Micah Drye, 7, made the haunting plea as waters rose around he and his grandparents in Asheville on Friday. They were also drowned.

The surging brown torrent forced Micah, his mom Megan Drye and her parents onto the roof of their home for safety, Fox Weather reported.

But it destroyed the house soon after, with stricken Megan saying her late son ‘caled out to the one God almighty’ as he was carried away by the inundation. . .

Firefighters Union Snubs Kamala Harris With Non-Endorsement After JD Vance Speech at Convention

/0 Comments/in , /by

The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) has snubbed the Harris-Walz ticket with a non-endorsement — news which comes after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) spoke at their event in August.

IAFF President Edward Kelly made the announcement on Thursday following an executive board meeting, where the determination was made.

“Today, the IAFF Executive Board, by a margin of 1.2 percent, voted to not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election,” he announced, noting that IAFF took “unprecedented steps to hear out members’ views on the candidates and the policy issues that matter most to them” over the last year.

“As we have over our 106-year history, the IAFF will continue its work to improve the lives of firefighters and their families,” Kelly continued, contending that the Executive Board determined that “we are better able to advocate for our members and make progress on the issues that matter to them if we, as a union, are standing shoulder-to-shoulder.”

“This decision, which we took very seriously, is the best way to preserve and strengthen our unity,” he continued, encouraging members to get out and “make their voices heard in the upcoming election.” (Read more from “Firefighters Union Snubs Kamala Harris With Non-Endorsement After JD Vance Speech at Convention” HERE)

Report: The Military’s Obsession With DEI Politics Is Hampering Its Readiness

/0 Comments/in , /by

The main mission of the U.S. military is to protect American lives and interests domestically and abroad with the most capable personnel available. But what happens when that objective gets sidelined in favor of advancing a neo-Marxist agenda?

According to a recently published report by Will Thibeau, director of the American Military Project at the Claremont Institute, the U.S. military’s embrace of radical left-wing orthodoxy is hampering its overall readiness and ability to respond to an increasingly volatile geopolitical environment. Titled, “Identity in the Trenches: The Fatal Impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion on U.S. Military Readiness,” the analysis explores how the military’s heightened obsession with racial and gender politics is contributing to these growing problems.

“The United States Armed Forces were once the envy of the world, in large part because we selected the best of the best, and instilled in our fighting men an unshakeable military ethos,” the report reads. “Both the ethos and the selection, however, have been in steady decline as the Department of Defense succumbs to a dangerous ideology: that of group quotas, or forced outcome equality for identity groups based on race and sex.”

While many Americans have come to associate the military’s modern embrace of radical DEI politics with policies enacted under the Biden-Harris administration, the infiltration of neo-Marxist ideology into America’s armed forces began decades prior. What started as a seemingly good-faith effort to eradicate racial discrimination in the military during the Truman administration later devolved into a drawn-out ploy by race-obsessed leftists to “quickly plant[] the seeds of more aggressive racial policies,” according to the report.

Citing policies implemented under Democrat presidents, from Lyndon Johnson to Joe Biden, Thibeau noted how the left-wing “transformation” of America’s military “cannot be blamed entirely on progressive presidents.” (Read more from “Report: The Military’s Obsession With DEI Politics Is Hampering Its Readiness” HERE)

Trump To Meet with Former Foe, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, for the First Time Since 2020 Election Dispute

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump appears to be burying the hatchet with Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp as the two former foes are slated to appear together for the first time since 2020 on Friday.

Trump and Kemp, who’ve sporadically been at loggerheads since President Biden’s 2020 Peach State election victory, will visit Evans, Ga., to receive a briefing on the devastation of Hurricane Helene and deliver remarks to the press, according to the former president’s campaign.

The visit will mark Trump’s second trip to storm-ravaged Georgia this week.

The 45th president surveyed storm damage and spoke with local officials and first responders in Valdosta, Ga., on Monday. . .

The tiff between Trump and Kemp started shortly after the 2020 election, when the governor refused to call a special legislative session to overturn the election results in the state.

Bombshell Allegations: Kamala’s Husband Accused of Assaulting Woman in 2012

/65 Comments/in , , /by

In a troubling development, Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has been credibly accused of physically assaulting a woman during the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012. The allegations come from three friends of the alleged victim, who has been identified only by the pseudonym “Jane.”

According to reports from the Daily Mail, the incident occurred late at night while Jane and Emhoff were waiting in a valet line after a festival event. It is claimed that after a night of drinking, Jane attempted to expedite her exit by offering a valet a tip to move to the front of the line. One friend recounted that Jane “put her hand on [the valet’s] shoulder,” a gesture that reportedly prompted Emhoff to perceive as flirtation.

The friend alleged that Emhoff confronted Jane, resulting in an unexpected and violent response. “Doug apparently thought that she was flirting, and came over and slapped her in the face,” the friend stated. The altercation allegedly led to Jane slapping him back before deciding to end their relationship that night.

Describing the emotional aftermath, the friend recalled receiving a sobbing phone call from Jane. “It was hard to hear her because she was sobbing. She told me she was with a guy, and he hit her,” she said. Another friend reiterated the shock and fury Jane experienced after the incident, stating, “She said she was in utter shock [and] so furious, she slapped him.”

The friends further alleged that as Jane attempted to leave following the altercation, Emhoff forced his way into her taxi. According to the accounts, Emhoff showed no remorse the following day, as Jane confided to her friends that he was “unapologetic about the alleged abuse.”

Supporting their claims, Jane’s friends provided the Daily Mail with documentation, including a photograph of Emhoff with Jane, whose face is obscured, along with travel documents from the trip. It has been reported that Jane and Emhoff had a serious relationship prior to the alleged assault.

As this shocking allegation comes to light, the political ramifications for Emhoff and the broader implications for the Biden administration remain to be seen.

Hunter Biden’s 51 Spies Who Lied Are Well Overdue for Their Day in Court

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the ever-evolving coverup of the coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop, it was instructive to hear a recent interchange between Dan Goldman, the odious New York Democrat, and Texas Republican August Pfluger, a decorated former fighter pilot, in the House Homeland Security Committee last week.

Pfluger had introduced legislation to block funding for any bogus “intelligence experts” group that border-wrecker Alejandro Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security will use to censor Americans and interfere with our elections under the guise of protecting us from “disinformation.”

Judging from past outrages, such as the “Dirty 51” letter from the 51 “spies who lied” about Hunter’s laptop, Pfluger’s bill is well overdue.

But Goldman, a bumbling former prosecutor who has been attempting to run interference in the House whenever whistleblowers or witnesses come forward with damning information about Biden family corruption, had other ideas.

He leapt to the defense of the Dirty 51 former intelligence officials who had been prompted by then-Biden campaign official Antony Blinken, now secretary of state, to write a letter three weeks before the 2020 election refuting New York Post reporting, and falsely claimed that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation — or, in their weaselly words, “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s 51 Spies Who Lied Are Well Overdue for Their Day in Court” HERE)

Montana Rancher Gets 6 Months in Prison for Cloning Giant Sheep and Breeding It

/1 Comment/in , /by

An 81-year-old Montana man was sentenced Monday to six months in federal prison for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the US to create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota.

US District Court Judge Brian Morris said he struggled to come up with a sentence for Arthur “Jack” Schubarth of Vaughn, Montana.

He said he weighed Schubarth’s age and lack of a criminal record with a sentence that would deter anyone else from trying to “change the genetic makeup of the creatures” on the earth.

Morris also fined Schubarth $20,000 and ordered him to make a $4,000 payment to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Schubarth will be allowed to self-report to a Bureau of Prisons medical facility. (Read more from “Montana Rancher Gets 6 Months in Prison for Cloning Giant Sheep and Breeding It” HERE)
