Don't forget all the additional add-ons!--Whatever happened to "Clean, green AFFORDIBLE energy"??---- Michigan’s skyrocketing electricity rates loom over 2026 governor race
Rates for Michiganders have jumped 117%, or $850 annually, since 2006 - Victor Skinner
- A recent analysis by The Detroit News shows the increase in average electricity rates in the Great Lakes State over the last 20 years has outpaced all but three states, jumping from 9.8 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2006 to 21.2 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2025, or 117%.

Trump Reportedly Poised to End the Left’s Most Chilling Gender Tactic: Taking Kids From Their Parents
Proponents of pushing life-altering hormones and irreversible surgeries on adolescents, who enjoyed little-to-no pushback on its ideology...seem to have met a formidable opponent in President Donald Trump. - Teri Christoph
- On his first day in office nearly a year ago, the president signed an executive order (EO) called “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth.” That EO made it federal policy to recognize the two biological sexes and rejected the idea that gender identity is separate from biological sex...
- Trump quickly followed that up with the “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” EO, which declared as federal policy that gender-transition procedures on minors – including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions – constitute “chemical and surgical mutilation” and are harmful. The president directed the federal government to not fund, sponsor, assist, or support such treatments for anyone under the age of 19.
- And, now, according to a Tuesday report, President Trump is considering extending federal protections to parents who don't buy into gender ideology and are penalized for their beliefs. A new EO being considered would stop Child Protective Services from removing children from parents who don't accept their child’s so-called "gender identity."...
Scathing indictment claims Maduro orchestrated drug-fueled 'culture of corruption' * WorldNetDaily * by Anthony Iafrate, Daily Caller News Foundation
Scathing indictment claims Maduro orchestrated drug-fueled 'culture of corruption' * WorldNetDaily * by Anthony Iafrate, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"Through this drug trafficking, [Maduro] and corrupt members of his regime enabled corruption fueled by drug trafficking throughout the region," the indictment continues. "The transshipment points in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico similarly relied on a culture of corruption, in which cocaine traffickers operating in those countries paid a portion of their own profits to politicians who protected and aided them. In turn, these politicians used the cocaine-fueled payments to maintain and augment their political power."
White House Shreds Democrats' Jan. 6 Narrative With New 5th Anniversary Website
Their “January 6 Committee” was a one-sided farce where grandstanders like former GOP Reps. Cryin' Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) and Liz Cheney (WY-AL) preened for the cameras in what they hoped would be their 15 minutes of fame. - Bob Hoge
Thousands were jailed and woefully overcharged for their part in the protests, and Democrats still push false storylines to this day (like the one alleging that law enforcement officers were killed at the Capitol, when none were).
Thousands were jailed and woefully overcharged for their part in the protests, and Democrats still push false storylines to this day (like the one alleging that law enforcement officers were killed at the Capitol, when none were).
- The Trump administration isn’t taking today’s fifth anniversary lying down, and on Tuesday, they issued a new website disputing many of the Democrats' claims and slamming then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) for not securing the Capitol.
- In the first paragraph of the new site, the White House defended Trump’s pardons in no uncertain terms (emphasis theirs):

The Capture of Maduro and the Return of American Statecraft
History does not usually announce its turning points with trumpets. - Jim Reynolds
Not because it was spectacular—though it was.
Not because it was unprecedented—because it was not.
- But because it marked the quiet return of an older American habit: enforcing order in its own neighborhood when disorder metastasizes into danger.
Under Hugo Chávez and then Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela was not merely a failed socialist experiment.
- It became something more dangerous: a criminalized state.
- A narco-regime.
- A logistics hub for cocaine, a haven for Hezbollah operatives, an Iranian drone workshop, and a pressure valve for mass migration...
