A terrorist from Jordan briefly worked as an Obamacare navigator in Illinois while authorities remained unaware of her conviction for involvement in a deadly grocery store bombing and two other attacks. Rasmieh Yousef Odeh was convicted in Israel for her role in several bombings, including the 1969 attack on an upscale Shufersol grocery store, which killed two Hebrew University students who had stopped in to buy groceries for a hiking trip in the Jerusalem hills. Leon Kanner and Eddie Joffe were killed by a bomb hidden in a candy box tucked on a shelf, which also injured nine or 10...

AAAN has long been tied to President Obama. In 2001 and 2002, the Woods Fund of Chicago, with Obama on its board, made grants totaling $75,000 to the AAAN—about a fifth of AAAN’s overall budget. Obama served in that role alongside Bill Ayers and received $6,000 a year from 1999-2002. AAAN’s founder Rashid Khalidi and his wife Mona hosted Obama in their home on at least one occasion. Obama praised Khalidi’s insights, which had been “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases.” Khalidi returned the compliment, telling a mostly Arab audience, that Obama is...

In her Georgia complaint, Sidney Powell included the declaration of Navid Keshavarz-Nia, an expert witness who stated under oath that there was massive computer fraud in the 2020 election, all of it intended to secure a victory for Joe Biden. Dr. Kershavarz-Nia's name may not mean a lot to you, but it's one of the weightiest names in the world when it comes to sniffing out cyber-security problems. We know how important Dr. Kershavarz-Nia is because, just two and a half months ago, the New York Times ran one of its Sunday long-form articles about a massive, multi-million-dollar fraud that...

America's problem with imported swindlers is not limited to Minnesota. Minnesota is hardly the only state whose kindness to migrants from the third world has been abused. Michiganders, too, have apparently opened their arms to foreign-born fraudsters who are more than happy to steal from their host state's most vulnerable residents. Nkechy Ezeh, a woke Nigerian who served as a professor at Aquinas College until 2023, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud in a scheme that bled taxpayers for $1 million and forced an organization that funded early learning initiatives for poor kids to close. Ezeh could face up to...

A car plowed into a terminal at the Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan Friday night – and the driver bellowed nonsense as he was dragged away from the scene, according to shocking footage and reports. Wild footage captured the black sedan sitting in the middle of the McNamara Terminal, where startled Delta Airlines employees were working as it smashed through the glass doors of the Romulus, Mich. around 7:30 p.m., according to WXYZ. The driver immediately exited the vehicle with his hands raised and speaking in a daze as security and airport officials rushed to the debris-ridden area. “The response...

A highly acclaimed Nigerian professor at Aquinas College is facing two decades in prison after she admitted to swindling more than $1 million from taxpayers and poor minority children in West Michigan. Nkechy Ezeh, founder and CEO of the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative, pleaded guilty last week to wire fraud and tax evasion in a scheme that forced the nonprofit to shut down after a dozen years preparing about 8,000 preschoolers for kindergarten in Kent County, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, WOOD reports. Ezeh worked with ELNC bookkeeper Sharon Killebrew to create nearly $500,000 in fake invoices, as well as created...

A gunman randomly shot three tourists in a neighborhood near Florida's Disney World over the weekend, cops said. Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, was arrested after the 'cold-blooded' killing of three men in Kissimmee, a small city just outside of Orlando, after they got stuck at a rental property next his home when their car broke down. A motive for the shooting is unclear, as Bojeh reportedly did not know the murdered men.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib went on an emotional rant about the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recruitment posts on social media during a Friday shadow hearing in Minnesota. The hearing, chaired by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, discussed the recent heightened presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota and the fatal shooting of Renee Good. When it was Tlaib’s turn to speak, she used her time to passionately suggest that recent DHS social media posts evoked “neo-Nazi” and “white nationalist” imagery. Tlaib held up a printed Jan. 9 social media...

Oh wait the Ford workers did not get the "No Kings" memo from the Democrats.

A worker at the Ford factory in Michigan was suspended but said he had 'no regrets' after he accused Donald Trump of being a 'pedophile protector' during a visit to Tuesday. TJ Sabula, a 40-year-old line worker at the factory, was given the penalty after Trump cursed him out and gave him the middle finger while touring the factory, according to The Washington Post. 'As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever,' Sabula told the outlet. 'I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity....

Trump presenting a speach at the Economic Club of Detroit

Traci Kornak, the former treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party, was hauled into probate court this week, suspected of embezzling from her ward, a brain-damaged elderly woman. I caught Kornak feasting on the woman’s finances nearly four years ago and have written many stories about it since. I’ve made TV appearances. I even lost my newspaper job over it. After my first story was published, Attorney General Dana Nessel, a close friend of Kornak, opened a superficial investigation that was no investigation at all. Her detectives made a few cursory phone calls before Nessel prodded them into shutting down the...

SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) – Video captured along Lake Erie on Monday showcases a dramatic shift in water levels near Sandusky as powerful wind gusts sweep through Northeast Ohio. As seen in the video below, the levels are significantly low on some of the western edges of the lake in what the FOX 8 weather team describes as a seiche. The unique weather phenomenon exposes the usually covered floors of Lake Erie, thanks in part to strong winds and atmospheric pressure. “It’s like sloshing the water in your bathtub,” FXO 8 Meteorologist Scott Sabol explained during a previous occurrence. ‘The water...

A 75-year-old veteran was put into a coma outside his home in Michigan after a DoorDash driver he told to 'slow down' allegedly got out of his car and punched him in the side of his head. Lloyd Poole has been in a coma since he was allegedly struck outside his home in Wixom on December 28 by 40-year-old DoorDash driver Ryan Turner. A security camera from a neighbor's home captured the violent interaction, which led to the elderly veteran needing emergency surgery, which removed a part of his skull to reduce the swelling of his brain. 'They're worried about...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Sherrone Moore, the lauded head coach of the University of Michigan’s storied football program, threw away his $30 million career when his affair with his assistant came to light — a scandal that was capped by his stunning arrest over allegations of assault. The 39-year-old married dad of three’s promising career quickly came to a crashing end Wednesday. He was booted as Michigan’s head coach that afternoon and, within the same hour, he was busted on criminal charges for allegedly breaking into the home of his executive assistant, Paige Shiver, with a knife in hand. Moore...
