LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Michigan’s education system needs some serious cash, a new report says. According to a report from the Education Law Center, it would take around $4.5 billion to adequately fund Michigan schools. But, what does that mean?
Currently, the funding required to make sure that students are meeting state standards is nonexistent.
With the lack of funding, teachers are oftentimes having to dip into their personal money to pay for school supplies.
More than 90% of Michigan school districts, at some level, are underfunded...

“...Gilchrist said there were then conflicts with the Republican majority in the legislature, who he said weren’t prioritizing Black maternal health, but he, Whitmer and the now Democrat-led legislature “remain steadfast” in their commitment to tackle these problems.
U.S. Agency for Global Media is funded entirely by the United States government.
Chuck Ross The head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, a news agency funded entirely by the United States government, claimed Thursday that it is "very misleading" for Twitter to designate the organization as "government-funded."...
The fact-check, which was published on Saturday, faced public scrutiny after the organization’s Twitter account promoted the story on Tuesday. While the tweet acknowledged that DeSantis’ claim that over 50% of felonies were downgraded to misdemeanors under Bragg was accurate, it added that the practice was "common."
"Yes, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded felonies as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said, but it’s a common practice among peer counties," the account tweeted.
Dimon's Little Pink Houses - by Peter Venetoklis "Jamie Dimon, billionaire CEO of JPMorgan Chase...qualifies by any reasonable measure as one of the Best-and-Brightest. Regular readers know I use that phrase derisively, because those Best-and-Brightest are not only spectacularly wrong too often, they also tend to be broadly disinterested in the individual rights and liberties of the peons masses that sit beneath them on the socioeconomic ladder.
The Best-and-Brightest narrative stands athwart the libertarian ethic of leaving people alone, because those Best-and-Brightest suffer a noblesse-oblige "calling" to manage the world on behalf of those peons masses, whether we want them to or not. Thus, my annoyance at one of Dimon's recent comments:
[P]ermitting reforms are desperately needed to allow investment to be done in any kind of timely way. We may even need to evoke eminent domain – we simply are not getting the adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives...
"In this thought-provoking episode, the host engages in a spirited discussion with Douglas Murray, author and commentator, about meritocracy, societal success, and the cultural minefield we find ourselves in today.
They explore the implications of focusing on equity and equality of outcome, the potential for demoralization in certain groups, and the paradox of societal progress.
They also touch on the importance of distinguishing between admiration and respect, as well as the significance of equality in the eyes of God and civic equality, as foundational values for a healthy society. Join the conversation and discover insights into the complexities of today's world.
George Soros has proven himself instrumental in funding leftist causes over the years, but at the age of 92, the open society he has sought after needs a new champion. The billionaire's 37-year-old son, Alexander Soros, appears keen to carry on his father's legacy of propping up radicals and technocrats alike.
Recently updated White House visitor logs have revealed that Alexander Soros has the ear of prominent officials and staffers inside the Biden administration, having visited the White House at least 14 times since President Joe Biden took office.
Soros the younger chairs his father's Open Society Foundation and sits on the board of the European Council on Foreign Relations.
A debate is developing in the Florida Legislature over a measure that would allow fire stations and hospitals to install boxes where distressed mothers could leave their unwanted newborns.
"...An existing state law, supported and promoted by the Miami-based A Safe Haven, allows parents to surrender newborns to firefighters and hospital workers without giving their names.
A new bill, supported by the Indiana-based Safe Haven Baby Boxes, would give fire stations and hospitals the option to install the group’s ventilated and climate-controlled boxes, whereparents could drop off their babies without interacting with fire or hospital employees...
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's cabinet on Tuesday announced a state of emergency on immigration following a "sharp rise" in flows across the Mediterranean, a statement said, in a move aimed at better management of migrant arrivals and repatriation facilities. ..."Let it be clear, we are not solving the problem, the solution can only depend on responsible intervention by the European Union," said Nello Musumeci, the civil protection minister. The government, in office since October, has pledged to curb mass immigration but some 31,300 migrants have arrived in Italy so far in 2023, interior ministry data shows, up from around 7,900 in the same period last year....
There has been a spate of high-profile violence lately by women who think they are men and, especially, by men who think they are women.
...They all seem unremorseful, along with the rest of the trans “community.”
They promoted a “Day of Vengeance” three days after the Nashville slaughter.
In those same days before the blood was dry, the press secretary to the Arizona governor posted a Twitter message (the photo attached) showing a woman – or perhaps a man pretending to be a woman – pointing two handguns, with the caption “Us when we see transphobes.” Really?
The press secretary to a state governor says that when a tranny sees a “transphobe,” he/she/it is supposed to shoot nine-year-olds?
...Here in America, it’s not permissible to gather real data on the subject. You’d never, ever get another NIH grant and you’d certainly be fired from your university position, tenure be damned.
But such data has been gathered in Europe. A Swedish study found that male-to-female trannies commit crime at a rate seven times the rate of real women and commit violent crime at18 times the rate of real women.
TheU.K. Ministry of Justice found that male-to-female trannies committed sex crimes at nearly 20 times the rate of real women and triple the rate of real men.
So why are trannies so overrepresented in crime, especially in violent crimes?...
America has been celebrating Dylan Mulvaney's miraculous feat of being a real girl for 365 days. Being a girl for a whole year is a cause for a party. When my nieces both celebrated 365 days of girlhood, we had a bouncy house, a clown, and a smashcake. To celebrate Dylan, businesses desperate for an ESG boost are making Dylan the official spokesdylan of their products. Most notably, Bud Light.
Not everyone feels this marketing decision is as beautiful and brave as the media. There are women who have celebrated girlhood a lot longer than Dylan wanting to know where their endorsement deals are. This woman probably isn't drinking any Bud Lights these days, But 12,065 days are quite the accomplishment.
Now they are announcing the closure of four stores in Chicago. Just like in Portland, the retailer is claiming that these stores are just not profitable.
In reality, people know that the real problem is crime, most likely massive amounts of shoplifting, which is to blame for the closures...
This is ironic, considering that Democrats just announced that they’re going to hold their 2024 convention in the city...
