A babysitter is accused of throwing boiling water over a three-year-old girl and fatally smashing her head into a bath. Iesha Harris, 30, was charged with murder and first-degree child abuse after autistic toddler Harmoni Henderson was found dead on Monday.

In 1973, Coleman Young, an African American former labor organizer with ties to the American Communist Party, ran for mayor of Detroit. Young narrowly beat the city’s police commissioner, partly by arguing that cops targeted minorities. Once in office, Young rolled back enforcement and slashed the police force by 20 percent. Detroit’s crime exploded. Businesses and middle-class residents fled the city; polls showed a majority of whites feeling threatened. Detroit’s economy and social order collapsed during Young’s two-decade mayoralty. “He left the city a fiscal and social wreck,” as political scientist James Q. Wilson wrote. Yet he kept getting reelected...

Culinary critics took a bite out of President Biden after an unappetizing “Detroit-style” pizza was served aboard Air Force One on Thursday while Biden was returning from a campaign trip to Michigan. “The Air Force One dinner tonight after the Michigan trip: Detroit-style pizza,” Bloomberg White House reporter Josh Wingrove posted on X following Biden’s swing-state appearance alongside auto union workers. But the presidential version of the Motor City’s signature deep dish, rectangular pizza barely had any mozzarella cheese or tomato sauce — and Wingrove merely nibbled at the edges before snapping a picture of the display. “Mom Joe Biden...

Virtually no one cared that Joe Biden was shuffling around the restaurant. He didn’t receive a rock star welcome as he walked into the establishment. At one point Biden approached diners sitting in a booth and told them to ‘vote Trump.’

When I was a kid growing up in the Warrendale section of Detroit in the 1970s, the Polish presence was everywhere. Warren Avenue was "the Strip" of our turf, and it was littered with family businesses with difficult names like the Jarzembowski Funeral Home. There was the Kozy Korner, with Kozy being short for a name I can't begin to spell. ... A good friend I grew up with, whom I'll call Hoppy, remained in Warrendale until 2015 and only moved after some gang-bangers took a potshot at him as he was shoveling snow. In true Detroit style, he snarled...

And I get a lot of fist bumps, actually.”...

Detroit, Michigan, cut its murder rate down to a 60-year-low by simply ignoring liberal crime policies, holding criminals accountable and hiring more police, a report from the city showed. The city recorded 228 homicides this year as of Nov. 30, marking an 18% drop compared to the same time last year, according to the report. Detroit hit its lowest homicide rate in 60 years back in 2018 when it recorded 261 homicides, meaning 2023 could soon make a new record, Detroit Free Press noted. In order to make the historic moment happen, leaders simply did the obvious: Locked criminals up....

VIDEOVote Fraud is supposed to be rarer than an asteroid strike. However, Jill Stein in December 2016 ACCIDENTALLY proved this to be a farce when she (at the behest of Hillary) demanded (and received) a recount of the Michigan vote hoping to find evidence of Russian hacking. What they found instead was PROOF of Democrat vote fraud with over a third of the Detroit precincts reporting more votes than registered voters. OOOPS! Of course, that recount was quickly dropped but it is interesting that back then demanding a recount was NOT considered to be an attempt to overturn the election...
