From Click on Detroit, "Macomb County business raided by the FBI over possible improper COVID-19 treatments": FBI agents went into building wearing full protective gear to protect themselves from potential exposure. Sources claim the raid is because Allure has been allegedly performing treatments for COVID-19 patients without an approved treatment or cure. On April 18, Allure’s Facebook page had a post that said "At Allure Medical, we have been using intravenous vitamin c therapy to treat COVID-19 in non-hospitalized patients with great results." That post, as well as a post on Allure Medical's official website on vitamin c treatments, has...

Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett (D-Detroit) was sick for weeks before she was officially diagnosed with COVID-19. She had a relentless headache and what she described as an “uncomfortable” and “weird” throat. She didn’t have a fever, and she could smell and taste. A loss of some of those senses have been reported by other coronavirus victims. Whitsett, and one of the doctors who initially treated her, thought she had a sinus infection. They were wrong. Her illness reached a breaking point on March 31, which happened to be the same day she took the COVID-19 test. She had already...

Al Kaline, the legendary Detroit Tigers outfielder who played for more than two decades, has died at the age of 85.

Monday: day 23 of the shutdown for some of us. Most strikes don’t last this long.But let’s forget about pathogens, pandemics and politics for the day. I have something much better for you to focus on, music and movies. Or to be more precise, a movie about music – Hitsville: The Making of Motown is a nearly 2 hour documentary film that explores the founding of Motown in Detroit in 1958. We just watched it last night.Hitsville museum, a simple house in Detroit where the legendary Motown sound was createdIt’s not without its flaws but all you need to know...

Samples of the suspected SARS virus and influenza were found in Chinese scientists’ luggage arriving in the U.S., according to an unclassified FBI tactical intelligence report obtained by Yahoo News. Samples of the suspected SARS virus and influenza were found in Chinese scientists’ luggage arriving in the U.S., according to an unclassified FBI tactical intelligence report obtained by Yahoo News. In November 2018, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Detroit Metro Airport stopped a Chinese biologist who was carrying three vials labeled “Antibodies” in his luggage. The biologist said a colleague in China “had asked him to deliver the...

Savagery. This is the second FGM doctor arrest this week. Obviously these Muslim doctors skipped the part about the Hippocratic Oath. Perhaps that’s because of hakimiyyah – the principle of Allah’s exclusive power and right to govern, legislate, and pass judgement. The gruesome practice of female genital mutilation is at record highs and on the rise in America, due to the influx of Muslim immigrants. Last week, two Muslim doctors were charged with mutilating the genitalia of little girls — the first arrests of this kind. Finally. Barbaric sharia practices are not being sanctioned with silence and avoidance. The...

The incident suggests the Michigan governor’s office is either over its head in handling the pandemic, purposefully playing politics during the crisis, or both. Last week, a lawyer reportedly serving as a special counsel to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer published a leaked letter that falsely indicated a shortage of ventilators and intensive-care beds at the Henry Ford Health System had forced staff to leave some Wuhan virus patients to die. While the hospital has since made clear that it has ventilators and beds at all of its Michigan locations, the incident suggests the governor’s office is either over its head...

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams on Friday labeled Detroit as a “hot spot” for the coronavirus pandemic and said the situation there will worsen in the next week. For those on the front lines of the crisis, reaching this point has been an unfortunate expectation. “I have been saying all along as an epidemiologist that we are going to see a big tsunami,” said Dr. Teena Chopra, an infectious diseases specialist for Detroit Medical Center. “This is going to explode. We are seeing the surge. The growth rate is 100 percent. We are doubling every day...”

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. - More than a fifth of Detroit’s police force is quarantined; two officers have died from coronavirus and at least 39 have tested positive, including the chief of police. For the 2,200-person department, that has meant officers working doubles and swapping between units to fill patrols. And everyone has their temperature checked before they start work. An increasing number of police departments around the country are watching their ranks get sick as the number of coronavirus cases explodes across the U.S. The growing tally raises questions about how laws can and should be enforced during the pandemic,...

A brawl erupted in a pharmacy as a woman allegedly caught shop lifting savagely punched a sobbing employee who shoved her into a wall of products. The astonishing incident took place at a Rite Aid store in Detroit, Michigan, and was filmed by an onlooker earlier this month. It comes amid wide-spread stockpiling after the rapid spread of coronavirus across the country, as 1,700 cases and 41 deaths from the killer bug are confirmed in the US alone. In the clip, the employee shoves the woman, sending her flying into a wall of products and crashing to the floor. The...

Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., told “Outnumbered Overtime” Tuesday that former Vice President Joe Biden had a “human moment” when he got into a heated argument with a worker at a Fiat-Chrysler auto plant in Detroit after the man accused the Democratic presidential candidate of trying to take away his Second Amendment rights.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden won Michigan’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, seizing a key battleground state that helped propel Bernie Sanders’ insurgent candidacy four years ago. The former vice president’s victory in Michigan, as well as Missouri and Mississippi, dealt a serious blow to Sanders, who is urgently seeking to jump-start his flagging campaign. Sanders could still get a boost later in the night in Idaho, North Dakota or Washington state. But fewer delegates were at stake than in Mississippi, Missouri and Michigan, where Biden’s decisive performance again showed his strength with working-class voters and African Americans, who are vital...

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, today got into a heated argument with a Detroit autoworker who challenged his support for a new federal "assault weapon" ban. Even leaving aside Biden's reference to an "AR-14" when he meant "AR-15," the conversation revealed both the illogic of his proposal and the suspicions it understandably arouses among many gun owners. Cellphone video of the encounter shows a bearded man in a hard hat accusing Biden of "actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns." Biden denied the charge. "You're full...

Biden is emblematic of the Democrat party’s crack-up. They are self-destructing. Former Vice President Joe Biden got into a heated and profanity-laced argument with an autoworker Tuesday while touring a factory in Detroit, after the individual accused the Democratic presidential candidate of trying to take away his Second Amendment rights. “You’re full of sh– … I support the Second Amendment,” Biden shot back, stressing he’s not going to take guns away. Natasha Korecki ✔@natashakorecki The worker then told Biden, “You’re working for me, man,” and told Biden that he saw an online video supporting his claim that Biden is hostile...

"Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!" Detroit auto workers shouted their support for President Donald Trump during Joe Biden's plant visit.

... "You are actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns," the worker told Biden. Biden replied: "You're full of sh**." "I support the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment — just like right now, if you yelled 'fire,' that's not free speech," Biden continued. "And from the very beginning — I have a shotgun, I have a 20-gauge, a 12-gauge. My sons hunt. Guess what? You're not allowed to own any weapon. I'm not taking your gun away at all." ...
