Hertz's partnership with Amazon is another step in the e-commerce giant's slow march into auto sales. The deal could be a boon for the rental car giant, which is trying to sell more of its cars directly to consumers. Some experts say the shift toward direct online sales, especially involving e-commerce giants like Amazon, could spell trouble for dealerships, possibly even large publicly traded companies such as AutoNation, Group1, Sonic Automotive, Penske, and Asbury. Wholesale auction companies such as Manheim and AVC are also liable to be watching the shift, as direct to consumer sales could threaten their inventories. Why...

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the media and Democratic Party politicians have pointed to the 2020 scheme to abduct and assassinate Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as evidence that political violence comes from both sides of the political spectrum. News organizations routinely cite the plot in a timeline of recent incidents of political violence in this country; Whitmer herself mentioned the plan to “kidnap and kill me” in a video message posted on X last week while condemning Kirk’s murder. But the two examples aren’t comparable, and not only because Gretchen Whitmer was never harmed – nor ever in...

The mayor of a Michigan city with a large Muslim population has faced backlash for telling a Christian resident he was 'not welcome' after a tense exchange over a road sign honoring a local who expressed support for Hamas. Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud made the comment after Edward 'Ted' Barham told a City Council meeting that he opposed a road sign being erected at an intersection honoring Lebanese-American journalist Osama Siblani.

At a Dearborn City Council meeting last week, Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud told local resident Edward “Ted” Barham, a Christian, that he was “not welcome” in the city after Barham raised concerns about new street signs honoring Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani. FOX 2 Detroit reported that the signs honoring Siblani were placed at intersections on Warren Avenue by Wayne County, not the City of Dearborn. But the mayor escalated the debate, telling Barham, “Although you live here, you are not welcome here.” Barham introduced himself as “Ted Barham, Dearborn resident,” and objected to two intersections being renamed after...

District Court Judge Kristen Simmons dismissed charges of election fraud against 15 Michigan Republicans who agreed to be the state's electors in the 2020 presidential election. "Historically, there have been other instances where the issue of which electors really represent the voters' choice has been disputed," she observed. "This is not fraud or a coup d'etat. It is a precautionary step in case recounts or reassessments of vote tallies reverse the results initially reported after the vote counting has been concluded. Both Democrats and Republicans have used this step. Once the winner is determined only one set of electors actually...

HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (AP) — A Detroit-area city that banned LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles did not violate the Constitution, a judge said. U.S. District Judge David Lawson dismissed a lawsuit against Hamtramck, two years after the city council voted to allow only five flags, including the American flag, the Michigan flag and flags that “represent the international character” of residents. The city is known for welcoming immigrants. A pride flag was flown in June 2021 and 2022 before some members of the all-Muslim council said it clashed with the beliefs of some members of their faith. Businesses and residents...

A federal judge has upheld a ban on gay pride flags after a years-long battle by an all-Muslim city council to remove the rainbow because it did not reflect their community's values. The court found that Hamtramck, an enclave surrounded by Detroit with a significant Muslim immigrant population, did not violate the US Constitution when it banned the flag from public buildings in 2023. After a pride flag was flown in the city during Pride Month in 2021 and 2022, the city council said it clashed with the beliefs of some residents, so they voted to allow only five flags...
