A Muslim mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, has stunned with his vitriol against a Christian resident of his city who simply objected to promoting violence.

Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud scolded resident Edward "Ted" Barham, a Christian, "Although you live here, you are not welcome here."

Barham had objected to renaming some intersections in Dearborn after Osama Siblani, Arab American News publisher who has promoted Hezbollah and Hamas, both Middle East organizations that have inflicted death, destruction and terror on Americans.

A young redheaded TikTokker, who goes by Ellie May on X, posted a video hoping it would get in front of the eyes of President Trump – and it has. The president posted it on his Truth Social account Saturday afternoon.

The woman pleads with the president to spearhead the passage of "The Charlie Kirk Act," which would hold media companies accountable for lying to the American people.

She cites 2013 action by President Obama that repealed the 1948 Smit-Mundt Act, a law that prohibited propaganda in the media.

"Make it damn near impossible for these people to continue to lie to the American public, which has brought chaos, hatred and division all across the country," she says.

"Because of their hateful lies, a man has lost his life. … Force journalists to finally start telling the truth."

Americans marked the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on their nation by Islamic terrorists with tributes, recollections, remembrances and more.

And one pilot took the opportunity to reveal how he thinks his jet, sitting on a runway that day, was intended to be the fifth aircraft hijacked and turned into a weapon of mass destruction.

Ceremonies were held Thursday in New York and at the Pentagon, both targeted that day, as well as in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where a flight augured into the ground after a failed scheme to turn it into another weapon.

Nearly 3,000 civilians died that day.

Jennifer Nilsen explained to reporters that the loss of her husband, Troy Nilsen, is "heart-wrenching" every year.

Even those who weren't born by then marked the day.

UPDATE: The sheriff's office has now reported that two students were injured in the shooting, plus the shooter, who also was hospitalized. All three, all minors, are considered in critical condition. No names were released immediately.

There's been another school shooting, this time at Evergreen High School in Colorado.

Initial reports say that at least three people, probably students, are in critical condition after being hospitalized.

A report from KDVR television said authorities in Jefferson County, which encompasses the foothills community of Evergreen about 25 miles west of downtown Denver, said there was an "active assailant" at the school.

A spokesperson for CommonSpirit St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood told FOX31 that three people are in the hospital in critical condition related to the incident.

Authorities revealed a 911 call came in about 12:40 p.m. Mountain Time, and a warning was issued that people who have kids at the school should not try to go there, as it still was "an active scene."

As a national furor over career criminals intensifies with the Charlotte murder of a Ukraine refugee, another repeat offender, this one in Louisiana, allegedly raped a 4-year-old girl and gave her a sexually transmitted disease just weeks after being released.

Now, surgical castration and the death penalty are being discussed among law-enforcement officials for 25-year-old Anthony Jelks.

WAFB-TV reports: "East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore said Monday, Sep. 8, that his office is exploring every option in the case against Anthony Jelks, which could include surgical castration or the death penalty."

"I can't think of anything worse than raping a child," Moore said.

The station reported Morse is "well-known to Baton Rouge police, causing problems over the years spelled out in a plethora of paperwork filed with the 19th Judicial District Court."

Baton Rouge Police Chief T.J. Morse told WAFB the situation is "extremely frustrating."

"Mr. Jelks, we have arrested six times over the last six-seven years," Morse said.

"He has everything from firearm charges to domestic-abuse battery, violation of protective orders."

Elon Musk indicated: "This needs to stop."

The man who created the inaccurate but much-used Black Lives Matter slogan "Hand's up, don't shoot" after Michael Brown rushed a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, 11 years ago, and was shot and killed, now has died in a shootout, which didn't involve police.

Dorian Johnson, claimed that his friend, Brown, had been compliant and accommodating when he confronted that officer, the officer who ultimately shot and killed Brown in self-defense.

A commentary at Twitchy explained, "The man whose lies helped propel BLM, causing death, riots, and destruction, has died in a fatal shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. In 2014, Dorian Johnson witnessed his friend Michael Brown rush a police officer in Ferguson. The officer fatally shot Brown in self-defense. But before the truth finally came out, lies were spread about the killing by Johnson, which created a national media-fueled outrage that was driven on by the later-debunked 'Hands up, Don't Shoot' chant and narrative."

Johnson died in a shooting not involving police only blocks from where Brown died.

"Posters are not missing the irony that a person who sparked an anti-police crusade died by the very violence that more policing could have helped prevent," the report said.

"Guess they decided his black life didn't matter. That happens a lot in  rampant black-on-black crime. When the Brown shooting happened, 'journalists' and their fellow Democrats, seeing the opportunity to push a false narrative, jumped at the chance to do so. They helped spread the 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' hoax nationwide."

A report by CNN said Johnson, 33, died in a shooting early Sunday morning at a block of apartments.

The investigation continues, although police said one person already is in custody.

Brown was 18 at the time he was shot by policeman Darren Wilson, a white man, on August. 9, 2014.

Wilson argued he shot Brown in self-defense as Brown charged at him. Johnson said he was a witness to the shooting and that there was a confrontation during which Brown was shot in the hand.

The report said, "Moments later, Brown moved back toward Wilson and the fatal shots were fired, according to federal investigators. Johnson said Brown had faced the officer with his hands up in surrender, but that assertion has been hotly contested, and a Justice Department investigation found that other witnesses 'gave varying accounts of exactly what Brown was doing with his hands as he moved toward Wilson,' including balling up his fists and pulling up his pants."

Johnson's claim about the events sparked that "hands up, don't shoot" mantra that was used over and over by extremists across the nation.

As violent protests against ICE agents deporting illegal aliens continue across America, White House Border Czar Tom Homan says many of the protesters are actually being paid for their opposition, and federal officials will be prosecuting them to the "highest standards of the law."

Homan appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" on the Fox News Channel, and was asked by guest host Jason Chaffetz about the authenticity of the protests.

"Some of it might be organic, but it does strike me, it seems like a lot of them are being bused in. You see them at the end of these protests actually getting back on buses," Chaffetz noted. "Are these protesters, the bulk of them, are they actually being financed from the outside?"

Letitia James, the Democrat attorney general in the state of New York, is demanding an appeals court restore a $500 million penalty against President Donald Trump that a New York judge created.

It was Arthur Engoron who heard the case in which James alleged Trump and his companies committed fraud.

James, who herself is under investigation now on fraud charges of her own related to alleged lies she submitted on federal mortgage documents, claimed that the companies' actions left behind damages even though testimony during the trial, which went down without a jury, proved those who made loans to Trump were happy with them, they were all paid off, they made money off Trump and would like to do business with him again.

Engoron and James worked together to create the $500 million penalty, and then tried to arrange requirements so that Trump could not appeal. He did, and the appeals court bluntly said the fine violated the U.S. Constitution.

Now, a report in the Epoch Times reveals that James wants that constitutional violation restored.

The report explains she filed a notice of appeal to the New York Supreme Court, confirming she is appealing.

"The brief notice does not spell out arguments from James as to why the appeal should be allowed," the report explained.

It was the New York Appellate Division's First Judicial Department, a branch of the New York Supreme Court, that tossed the penalty in a fractured ruling but left the civil judgment against Trump.

Engoron ruled against Trump in February 2024 and issuing a judgment of more than $460 million, with interest accruing.

Even the appellate judges who thought James' claims of fraud were justified opposed her penalty.

"Justice David Friedman criticized James, saying she was focused on 'political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump's political career and the destruction of his real estate business,'" the report said.

As Americans learn that their nation's immigration and visa laws have been subject to phenomenal levels of abuse, particularly the H-1B visa, more subtle and tricky forms of abuse are being employed.

For example, the most powerful tech and finance brands don't just hire workers on H-1B visas directly. They also buy labor from layers of outside "consultancies" that recruit abroad, place people at client sites and skim a margin. Those layers, in turn, create a gray zone of accountability that invites wage theft, benching without pay and even classic kickback schemes in broader contracting.

The secondary-employer trap

Here's how it works: Big companies keep their "headcount" lean and shift cost and legal risk to outside vendors. Those vendors then subcontract to smaller "body shops," so the person coding in a blue-chip office may legally work for a tiny shop two layers down.

Managers at a manufacturing plant in Springfield, Missouri, attacked one employee for wearing a cross necklace to work, and for having a Bible at his desk.

They claimed those items made him "not inclusive" and "unapproachable" and they scolded him for being seen as part of a "clique," that is Christianity.

They insisted the workplace had to have a "neutral" environment and that he be "respectful to others."

Now those officials have gotten a very nicely worded letter pointing out that their actions likely were in violation of federal law.

It is the American Center for Law and Justice that confirms it has written to the Timken Co.'s Missouri plant to object to the treatment, and to insist on confirmation that the behavior will end and won't be repeated.

The ACLJ reported, "Just weeks ago, our client was summoned into meetings with HR leadership and plant management. He was ordered to remove his Bible from view, hide his cross necklace under his shirt, and refrain from openly expressing his Christian faith because it was allegedly 'not inclusive' and made him appear 'unapproachable.'"
