Five People Killed after Michigan Maniac goes on Bloody Shooting Spree

Five people were killed in a Michigan shooting spree on Friday, sparking a massive manhunt that ended when the suspected gunman was found dead.

The bloodshed was first discovered at a home in Missaukee County, after troopers responded to a property on a report that someone had been shot around 11:40 a.m., Michigan State Police said in a news release.

Police found three dead people and one in critical condition at the home.

State police said the suspect, 39-year-old Chad Hickman, had fled the property prior to the troopers arriving on scene.

Two more slain victims were later found — one in the woods near Whitlock Lake and another in a separate home, according to state police.

The carnage prompted a frantic search for Hickman, who police said was considered armed and dangerous. (Read more from “Five People Killed after Michigan Maniac goes on Bloody Shooting Spree” HERE)

Clueless WNBA Attacks ‘Bad-Faith’ Dans Who don’t Want Biological Men Ruining Women’s Sports

The WNBA convened a task force to figure out what a woman is, emerged without an answer, scheduled more meetings to keep figuring it out, then scolded everyone else for the “hate and vitriol” surrounding the debate.

On Wednesday, the WNBA finally offered an update on its progress.

Turns out, the answer is more meetings.

“Today’s meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online. We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others.”

The WNBA took the corporate escape hatch. Dodge the question, scold the critics and kick the can down the road. (Read more from “Clueless WNBA Attacks ‘Bad-Faith’ Dans Who don’t Want Biological Men Ruining Women’s Sports” HERE)

School Enrollments Are Down, But Declining Birth Rates Only Tell Part Of The Story

Experts seem to be missing an important piece of the puzzle when trying to explain the reasons behind public school enrollment rates declining in Maryland and Virginia — while public school enrollment rates fall, homeschooling rates are increasing.

According to WTOP, public school enrollment rates have decreased in both states, and experts are citing the reasons as “declining birth rates, immigration and migration patterns, and housing costs.” While this is certainly the case by and large, another change appears to be affecting enrollment.

Homeschooling rates have increased in both states, likely affecting the rate of enrollment in public schools.

Notably, the University of Virginia (UVA) Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service released an enrollment projection for Virginia public schools in March. The data showed that in 2025 alone, K–12 enrollment dropped 1.2 percent or 14,939 students. Prior to that, enrollment rates had remained relatively stable from 2021 to 2024. The Cooper Center predicted that in 2030, enrollment will have fallen by 3 percent, or by 36,827 students.

Meanwhile, homeschooling rates in Virginia have risen by 8,342 students from the 2022–23 school year to the 2025–26 school year, according to the Homeschool Hub State Data produced by Johns Hopkins Homeschool Hub.

Unearthed Data Sheds Light On Military’s Transgenderism Explosion Under Biden

Transgender care for U.S. service members and minor dependents exploded under the Biden administration, documents obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

“Gender dysphoria” patient counts jumped roughly 82% during President Joe Biden’s first year in office, according to internal Defense Health Agency (DHA) records. The documents identify 17,596 unique patients in a DHA gender dysphoria dataset from 2014 to 2022, including 3,807 patients under 18.

The documents were originally obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation and provided to the DCNF.

Air Force Public Affairs referred to the DHA. The DHA could not provide a comment in time for publication.

“I think there could have been something going on where people may have been joining the Air Force or military in general in order to get this care and then exit,” James Fitzpatrick, the director of CASA, told the DCNF. “I trust that concern is being addressed now, given the new tightening of the rules surrounding this in the military, per the executive orders that came out last year, but yeah, I think it’s concerning, and again it just shows their priority and their ideology almost above anything else … was to you know push this type of medical care and this type of ideology onto our soldiers and military service members.”

Israeli Army Surrounds Last Christian Town in West Bank

The Israeli army (IDF) has declared the Christian town of Taybeh – the last entirely Christian community in the occupied West Bank – a ‘closed military zone’ – prohibiting Israelis, foreign nationals, and journalists from entering. The army says this is to protect Taybeh from the illegal settlers that have been attacking the town for months.

Taybeh Mayor Suleiman Khoury said that restricting foreign visitors will have a serious economic impact because Taybeh is a popular religious and tourist destination with hotels, restaurants and other businesses relying heavily on visitors.

But the ban also means international activists, human rights observers, and journalists will no longer be able to enter the village to document or respond to the daily attacks by Israeli settlers. Many observers have noted that the IDF has tended to stand by and watch while ‘settlers’ have rampaged through Christian land and homes in Taybeh.

Ihab Hassan, a Palestinian Christian human rights advocate wrote: “This is a deeply alarming new measure and another step by the Israeli government and army toward the ethnic cleansing of the last entirely Christian village in the West Bank. They want to do it in silence – without witnesses, without journalists, and without the world noticing.

“Instead of arresting the settler terrorists responsible for these attacks, the authorities are banning the journalists and activists who document them from entering the village. (Read more from “Israeli Army Surrounds Last Christian Town in West Bank” HERE)

UPDATE: Airport Installing Foot Washing Stations for Muslim Travelers

[Editor’s note: see updated article below] By Breitbart. The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is set to install privately-funded, dedicated Islamic foot washing stations in the facility, according to documents from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

According to the document, the project, which comes at an estimated cost of $300,000, is expected to begin August 31.

Women and men will have separate facilities that will not be shared between the sexes.

“Project consists of adding Ablution stations to existing concourse level restrooms in Terminal D, one Men’s ablution station in existing men’s restroom and one Women’s ablution station in the existing women’s restroom,” the details of the project read, as some say this will help eliminate the use of sinks in that capacity and keep the floors dry.

Reports indicate that this is a privately funded project and the stations will be in Terminal D of the airport. Audacy notes that this terminal “handles many of DFW’s international flights.”

DFW Airport scraps controversial Islamic foot-washing station plan as Texas Gov Abbott takes aim

By Brittany Miller. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday directed a review of state grants to entities operating two major Texas airports over religious accommodations after Dallas Fort Worth International Airport said it would no longer move forward with a proposal to install Islamic washing stations.

Abbott said the state will review grants to entities operating DFW and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for possible revocation and denial of future funding. He also referred both airports to the U.S. Department of Transportation for investigation.

“Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others,” Abbott wrote on X Friday. “DFW plans to install Islamic wudu washing facilities are illegal. I’ve directed a review of all state grants to both airports for possible revocation, and referred DFW & IAH to USDOT for investigation.

“Texas will not allow illegal religious discrimination at taxpayer-funded facilities.” (Read more about Muslim traveler and foot washing HERE)

Polls Show No One Cares About Climate Change

The latest polling shows that voters have wised up and don’t care about Global Warming or Climate Change, or whatever the grifters call it now.

Far-left CNN took a look at the latest polling and found that Climate Change ranked at number 14 of issues people care about, with just three percent saying so.

When asked if Climate Change is a “very big problem,” only 39 percent said yes, which is one point less than it was ten years and a gajillion fear-mongering media narratives ago.

Decades of relentless climate hysteria have not even convinced a majority of the public that humans are causing the Earth to warm. In 2016, only 45 percent believed that. Today, only 48 percent buy that nonsense.

You see, Normal People are not as dumb as CNN would like them to be. We all see Barry Obama, CNN, and Bill Gates out preaching that Global Warming is real and an imminent threat, and then we see the very same Barry Obama, CNNLOL, and Bill Gates move to the very coasts that they predict will be underwater in our lifetimes.

President Trump Finally Addresses if He’ll Seek a Third Term in the White House

President Donald Trump dismissed a question Tuesday night from a reporter about the possibility of him running for a third term in 2028, saying “the law is very strong.”

“Everybody asks me that question, and you know that the law is very strong on that,” Trump said while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “I’d love to run, but the law is very strong.”

“I get asked by everyone, well, even tonight they’re screaming at the event, ‘2028,’” he said, referring to the Patriot Games, which he had attended earlier that day. “No, everybody wants me to do it, but the law is very strong.”

Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that no one can be elected president more than twice.

The amendment was ratified by the states in February 1951, roughly six years after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had served an unprecedented four terms as president. (Read more from “President Trump Finally Addresses if He’ll Seek a Third Term in the White House” HERE)

Owner of Suspiciously Vacant Adult Daycare Billed Medicaid $32M While Donating to Kathy Hochul, other Dems

Kathy Hochul received $55,000 in campaign contributions from social adult daycare centers (SADCs) in fraud-plagued Flushing, Queens, records show.

Almost half of those donations can be linked to two men: local powerbroker Baoli Zhang, and Jiemin Shang — who own two of Flushing’s biggest daycare businesses, both of which were empty of patients when visited by The Post last week.

Zhang, 69, personally donated $10,000, as well as another $5,000 through his Bao Kang Adult Day Care, financial disclosures show. Zhang’s various businesses have claimed at least $32 million from Medicaid since 2018, on behalf of tens of thousands of patients.

Shang runs Livingwell Day Care, which donated $5,000 to Hochul in 2022, the same year it billed $5.8M to Medicaid. Another $5,000 came from Finest Adult Day Care, which Shang also runs.

“In 2021, [social adult daycare centers] were dying due to COVID. Someone threw them a lifeline and must have said something like, ‘Take care of me, I’ll take care of you.’ They’re making more money than ever now,” an industry source claimed to The Post.

Birth Order Linked to 150 Health Conditions in Study of 10 Million American Siblings

Whether someone is the older or younger sibling may be linked to certain health outcomes later in life, according to a massive new study.

Analyzing medical data from 10 million U.S. siblings over two decades, researchers from the University of Chicago and Columbia University found links suggesting that birth order may be connected to specific long-term health risks.

Researchers examined 569 disease categories across families and among siblings, identifying 150 conditions that were significantly associated with birth order.

First-born children showed a higher likelihood of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diagnoses, including autism, ADHD, Tourette’s and OCD, as well as immune-allergic conditions like food allergies.

Second-born children were statistically more prone to migraines, shingles, substance use disorders and gastrointestinal issues like gastritis. (Read more from “Birth Order Linked to 150 Health Conditions in Study of 10 Million American Siblings” HERE)
