‘Just not fair’: Michigan mom speaks
out after Grand Valley State University
sends son $84K bill for FOIA files he
requested -- about an investigation he’s
involved in

A student at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, recently filed a Freedom of Information Act request. He was trying to get access to documents related to an ongoing investigation at the school that he's involved in. Instead of those documents, he was hit with a $84,000 bill. To get the records, he’ll have to pay up. Carrie Uthe, the student’s mother, spoke to reporters on her son’s behalf. They believe the school is using the bill to prevent her son from accessing the records. “I feel like we’re fighting the school that’s fighting us ... and it’s just not fair,” Uthe told 13 On Your Side reporters.

Every Republican is Hitler

I won’t bother discussing the nonsense currently being trafficked by the media except to note that comparing Republican presidential candidates to Hitler is a playbook older than Joe Biden.
Back in 2016, I picked out some select moments from “Every Republican is Hitler” history: “If the British had not fought in 1940, Hitler would have been in London and if Democrats do not fight in 1968, Nixon will be in the White House.” Vice President Hubert Humphrey.
Chicago Mayor Daley accused Nixon of “Hitler-type” tactics.
“Goldwater’s acceptance speech had the stench of fascism. All we needed to hear was Heil Hitler.” Governor Pat Brown of California

Taxpayers, not an insurance agency, will pay for the city of Akron's $4.85 million settlement to Jayland Walker's family for Walker's police-involved shooting death, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik.
The city is not insured, so the settlement will come in a series of four payments over four years, he said.
"I imagine that this is something that would have strong feelings, across the board," Malik said of settlement details. "This was something that was done to protect the city's financial interests and to settle the claim."
The lawsuit, filed by Walker's family, initially sought $1 million for each bullet that struck Walker.
Two pro-life Wisconsin college students insist they were doing "God's work" by going into the lion's den and shouting pro-life, Christian messages at Vice President Harris during a rally. [SNIP] "We got a lot of backlash," Grant Beth, a University of Wisconsin-La Crosse junior, told Fox News on Sunday.
"I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that's the biggest thing for me personally. In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that's okay. In reality, we did God's work, and we were there for the right reasons.
Oct 7 marked the grim anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since Holocaust. The terrorist perpetrators of it however could celebrate the over $1 billion in foreign aid from the U.S.
46 Americans had been murdered on Oct 7 and another 12 taken hostage, but ahead of the Oct 7 anniversary, USAID announced that it was sending another $336 million in taxpayer-funded ‘aid’ to the terrorist occupied territories in Israel behind the killings of Americans.
USAID boasted that this “brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance announced for the Palestinian people to more than $1 billion since October 2023.”
The terrorists had murdered over 1,000 people and gotten over $1 billion.
The body of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar could be used as a “bargaining chip” to secure the release of hostages from Gaza captivity, Israeli sources told CNN on Saturday.
Sinwar, who masterminded Hamas’s October 7 attacks, was eliminated by the IDF on Wednesday, and his body is currently being held at an undisclosed location.
The terror leader, who was responsible for the massacre of over 1200 people and the abduction of over 250, may be the key to securing the return of hostages, two sources told CNN. Israeli authorities are reportedly discussing how to leverage Sinwar’s remains.
Ukraine is facing the threat of a huge influx of North Korean troops who are being trained by Russia's army.
At least 10,000 soldiers from the Pyongyang regime are understood to be taking part in manoeuvres before an expected deployment in regions close to the Ukrainian border.
The Kremlin is said to have paid North Korea to send personnel to the front in a deal struck on president Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kim Jong Un.
North Korea, like Iran, is also reported to be supplying weaponry and ammunition.

It was 1967. America was two years away from landing on the moon and Chinese Communists were eating people. The Communists hadn’t turned cannibal because of hunger, but politics.
Mao’s cultural revolution had already led to brutal lynchings of teachers and principals by the Red Guards unleashed by the Communist regime to purge all ideological deviation, but beating political opponents to death wasn’t enough for the radical mobs in the Guangxi region.
By the end of the cultural revolution, as many as 20,000 Communists had eaten human flesh.
Hamas planned a full-scale invasion of Israel on a much larger scale than the October 7 terror attacks, according to Israeli security officials.
A chilling 36-page document produced by the terror group reveals detailed plans to strike Israel by land, sea and air, and bomb three of Israel's tallest skyscrapers in a 9/11-style attack that would 'create an unprecedented crisis for the enemy, similar to the World Trade Center crisis in New York'.
The blueprint, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, details how Hamas intended to mobilise the Palestinian population to attack Israel to bring 'victory, beating fear into the hearts of our enemies'.
An Afghan refugee in Oklahoma City was just caught plotting an Election Day jihad massacre. The Justice Department announced this on Tuesday, and there was no reason to doubt it. After all, Afghanistan is a hotbed of jihad.
The accused perpetrator, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, got into the United States on a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), which is only issued to people who aided American forces while they were in that country, so he might have been assumed not to be a jihadi. Still, he could have been practicing Muhammad’s dictum “War is deceit.” [SNIP] He worked for the CIA, which casts doubt upon every other aspect of this story.
“I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.
Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”.
Hala Hijazi was there for all of Kamala’s races, raising money for her Senate campaign, promoting an event co-hosted by Willie Brown.
A pink-haired DEI trainer has slammed Oregon's forestry department for hiring on the basic of merit rather than identity.
Megan Donecker filed a complaint about her former boss Mike Shaw and moaned about him telling her that he sought the 'candidates most qualified for the job.'
DEI advocates like Donecker say hiring should be done through an 'intersectional lens' whereby applications from people of marginalized backgrounds are given greater weight.
Shaw, who earns $192,000-a-year as deputy head of Oregon's Department of Forestry, has been put on leave over Donecker's complaint.

Vice President Kamala Harris warned Americans about her “increasingly unhinged and unstable” opponent Donald Trump in a rare address from her residence on Wednesday, after Trump’s former chief of staff cautioned that the president would rule as a “fascist.”
John Kelly, Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, has publicly criticized Trump many times, but escalated his attacks this week, saying that if the definition of fascism is “a far-right movement with a dictatorial leader and forcible suppression of opposition,” then his former boss “falls into the definition of a fascist.” In an interview with The Atlantic, Kelly said that Trump had praised Adolf Hitler

The ladies of The View discussed a report that claims former President Donald Trump praised Hitler, predictably losing their minds. The topic of discussion was the released audio recordings of General John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who claimed the former president would make positive remarks about Hitler including saying he “did some good things.”
It started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump’s former director of strategic communications, who can’t believe people would not believe General Kelly because he’s “a four-star general” who was “so highly regarded by everyone in Trump’s West Wing.”
“I mean, I just can’t believe that for four years people have been warning about this.
Democrat Angela Alsobrooks boasts a wide 14-point lead over Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan in a new poll of the Maryland Senate race, with two weeks to go until Election Day.
Alsobrooks, the Prince George’s County executive, pulled in 54 percent support among likely Maryland voters, compared to Hogan’s 40 percent, according to a new survey from Emerson College Polling/DC News Now/The Hill. Another 6 percent were undecided. The new results mark a 5-point uptick in support for Alsobrooks since September, while support for Hogan dropped 2 points.
In today's "unexpected" news, the chief executive officer of youth clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch was arrested for sex trafficking.
Surprise, surprise.
According to ABC News:
Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and two others were arrested Tuesday as part of a criminal sex trafficking investigation by the FBI and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn.
Jeffries, his partner Matt Smith and a third man, Jim Jacobson, are accused of operating an international sex trafficking and prostitution business that recruited young men for parties in the U.S. and abroad, according to an indictment.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and 11 Democrats are urging President Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Attorney General Merrick Garland to open a formal investigation into an Israeli air strike that injured American journalists over a year ago.
“The evidence clearly indicates that this was an unlawful direct attack on civilians in which a U.S. citizen was injured and was lucky to survive. Several journalists were severely injured, and one was killed,” lawmakers wrote in a letter on Tuesday.
Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday night she would reject religious exemptions for abortion as president, effectively forcing health-care providers to perform the medical procedure in violation of their moral conscience.
The Democratic presidential nominee has been adamant about passing a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into law, despite the Supreme Court overturning that decision in 2022. In an interview with NBC News anchor Hallie Jackson, Harris indicated she would refuse to compromise with Republican lawmakers on the abortion legislation. “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom
The editor of the Los Angeles Times opinion section has resigned from her post after the newspaper’s owner prevented the editorial board from endorsing a candidate for president. Mariel Garza, editor of the illustrious newspaper’s editorials, resigned in protest of the decision by Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Times, to block the editorial staff from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent,” Garza told the Columbia Journalism Review in a phone interview with her former colleague Sewell Chan. “In dangerous times, honest people
'I love Kamala Harris,' a young Venezuelan man declared as he rested on the side of a highway in southern Mexico last week.
His belongings were heaped at his feet. Hundreds of fellow migrants stretched out along the roadway in both directions.
They're headed for the U.S. and nearly all of them have an opinion about who should be America's next president.'Donald Trump, no,' the Venezuelan man said, shaking his head and dragging his thumb across his throat in a slicing motion.
He is one of thousands of migrants – from all over the world – joining a new rush traveling north
Donald Trump called Barack Obama 'a jerk' on Tuesday night while Obama mercilessly mocked the GOP candidate - reigniting a bitter feud between the two former presidents.
Trump went after Obama at a campaign stop in North Carolina, claiming the Democrat looked 'exhausted' and 'couldn't care less' about the country.
'I think he's a real jerk because I've watched him campaign over the last couple of days,' Trump said.Over the last couple of days I've watched him campaign. What a divider he is. He divides this country. He couldn't care less, him and his little group of people.'
Meanwhile, Obama took some jabs at Trump
CBS has shown its true colors.
The home of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather is no longer just a biased news organization.
That’s too kind. For years, I’ve watched this network go from slanted reporting to straight-up propaganda, and now to sheer deceit. The past month has shown that Republicans should have nothing to do with it — and that former President Donald Trump is right to call attention to its chicanery with a threat of legal action.
First, CBS moderators broke the network’s own pledge not to fact-check during the vice-presidential debate, deliberately targeting GOP candidate J.D. Vance and doing so-
Meet Kamala’s Megadonors

A collection of philanthropists, Silicon Valley titans, and Democratic megadonors are using their fortunes and influence to see Vice President Kamala Harris elected into the White House in November.
Tens of millions of dollars in political donations have been routed to the Harris campaign, its joint fundraising committee, and a super PAC called Future Forward, which is supporting Harris through ad buys, according to a Washington Examiner analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, reprinted here by The Free Press.

Female athletes worldwide have lost nearly 900 medals to transgender-identifying male competitors who have intruded into women’s sports. “The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males,” the report said.
Titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,” the August study conducted by the United Nations found that by March 30, 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 women’s division events across 29 different sports were defeated by transgender-identifying men. Male athletes have taken over 890 medals from female athletes, the report said.
