Criminals loot Michigan’s $250M monthly food benefits system
Michigan gives $250 million of food benefits monthly to low-income households using outdated magnetic stripe cards. Criminals have stolen millions of those dollars over the last decade, according to testimony given at a July 25 meeting of the Michigan House Oversight Committee.
More than 1.4 million Michiganders rely on Bridge Cards to eat. But you can steal their benefits with the help of a kit available for purchase from Amazon, according to Doug Woodard of the Office of the Inspector General.
Lawmakers also heard from Andrew Kustowski, director of the Special Investigations Division of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, they interviewed Jennifer Allen, the manager of the Benefit Trafficking Investigation section.
Organized criminal groups commit fraud against the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, Kustowski said.
These criminals use computers and the internet to build EBT skimmers to steal benefits, he said. Click here to read more.
If Public-Sector Unions Provided Value, They Wouldn’t Need Schemes
Chances are, the last time you went to the supermarket, the clerk at the checkout stand thanked you for your business.
And you thanked her back.
You were both being polite, of course, but there was more to it than that. In fact, you were expressing the essence of capitalism: In a free-market economic system, there can be no transaction unless both parties walk away feeling they got what they wanted.
The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you.
You may have sticker shock when you see how much more your groceries cost than they did even a year before, but they’re still worth more to you than the dollars you trade for them.
And vice versa.
It’s a voluntary exchange. Value for value. Everyone benefits.
That’s why it works.
That’s also why government employee unions are struggling to survive these days. They don’t provide value, and their members are getting wise to it. Click here to read more.
Michigan health officials ignore federal guidance, claim COVID vaccine for pregnant women, infants ‘good science’
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is ignoring “common sense” and “good science” with continued pressure on pregnant women and infants to vaccinate against COVID.
In May, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., National Institute of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, and Federal Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary announced the U.S. government is no longer recommending the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women.

In May, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., National Institute of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, and Federal Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary announced the U.S. government is no longer recommending the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women.
“Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children,” Kennedy said in a video announcement. Click here to read more.
Department of Education Finds Five Northern Virginia School Districts in Violation of Title IX, Following AFL’s Call for a Federal Investigation into the Districts’ Illegal “Gender Identity” Policies,
Today, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced that it had concluded its investigation into five Northern Virginia school districts and found each district in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for adopting and enforcing illegal “gender identity” policies that permit males into female bathrooms and locker rooms.
This follows America First Legal’s (AFL) call for a federal investigation into these five school districts, Alexandria City, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and Prince William County, which it filed with the Department of Education on February 3, 2025. In response, on February 14, 2025, the Department of Education announced that it had opened an investigation. Last week, on July 17, 2025, AFL sent a letter to the Department of Education, explaining the significance of the Supreme Court’s decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor on the ongoing investigation.
With this action, the school districts now have 10 days to voluntarily comply with the law by rescinding policies based on “gender identity” and clarifying that policies related to intimate spaces, such as bathrooms and locker rooms, must be separated based on sex. If the districts fail to do this, they could face further enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, referral to the U.S. Department of Justice and loss of federal funding.

GOP Lawmakers Blame Cincinnatti Violence on Democrat Policies: ‘Have the Mayor Resign’; ‘Fund the Police’
Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) believes Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval (D) should resign following the violent brawl that broke out on the streets of downtown Cincinnati over the weekend, as he and others point to Democrat policies as a key factor in generating such violence.
Video of the incident shows two men fighting as others rush to the scene shouting. A man in a white shirt ends up on the ground as a swarm of others begin attacking and kicking him in the middle of the road as others recorded the fight.
“It’s a heinous attack. The mayor of Cincinnati is a disgrace,” Moreno said of the incident. “Have the mayor resign. Have a congressman that actually cares about his district, and fund the police in Cincinnati.” Click here to read more.
I don't understand how anyone can leave a baby, dog, or cat unattended in a car EVER! The first responsibility of that driver was to transport that child from point A to point B. No one mentioned there would be a four hour break where the little boy would have been left in a hot car alone. This driver should have the book thrown at them literally, then be given the maximum jail sentence. NO MERCY!
President Kennedy had a President's Physical Fitness program in every middle school and high school back in the 60s and 70s what happened to that? Oh, toss out with the rest of the bath water. The problem is processed foods. The cereals we feed children in this country, Fruity Pebbles, Cap't Crunch, Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops are for the most part banned in Europe. In the UK a box of Fruity Pebbles carries a dozen warning labels for carcinogens, dyes, and who knows what all that should not be in our food we feed to children. So, why is the Food and Drug Administration allowing this. The answer is in the title of the Administration in charge. Because DRUG companies are going to kill us one way or another. It's like every time the add a dye to your food or your drugs, they add aluminum. They add it to drugs too. I know I am highly allergic to aluminum and it took three years to figure out why my entire body looked like I had been scalded. Every drug but one that my doctors had ordered contained aluminum. I now have to have the doctors write no dye on all my prescriptions. Walmart also knows I cannot have dyes and have it on my profile.
We need to start eating grass fed meat, eggs, fresh vegetables from our own gardens or from the farm down the street. Hormones have to come out of our foods. We need fresh fruits and fresh air. People start walking even if it's just to the corner. Start getting the whole family outside. Play baseball in the backyard. Plant a garden and teach your children how to feed themselves. Cut out the trips to the fast food joints. None of that is good for you. McDonald's has mystery meat. Cut out the excess oils. Especially seed oils. We need to put ourselves first when it comes to food. Betty Crocker's easy potato mixes used to set off migraines in my daughter. We stopped using them. Scalloped potatoes take time to make, but if I want them, I make them from scratch. I make most things from scratch. Dig out an old cookbook, they are much better than the new ones. I have adapted many recipes to account for the fact that I a diabetic. I use almond flour, brown rice flour, and walnut flour for baked goods. I use cassava flour for tortillas. It's not rocket science. I have not made cakes, pies or pastries with alternate flours yet. I do bake bread, English muffins, and bagels with them.
