Kentucky has the highest overall cancer rate in the U.S reporting about 519 new cases per 100,000 Following Kentucky, the states with the next highest rates are Iowa and West Virginia. These high rates are primarily driven by elevated lung, colon, and pancreatic cancers.

More political games in Lansing… and taxpayers are the ones footing the bill. Here’s what’s happening in plain English: Michigan’s school aid budget is supposed to be passed by July 1 so schools know how much money they’ll have for the upcoming school year. That deadline matters because districts use that funding number to finalize budgets, hire staff, plan programs, and make sure classrooms are ready for fall. But instead of doing their job, Democrats @MichiganDems @MIHouseDems are using that deadline as leverage. Translation? They’re essentially saying: “Give us the spending priorities we want—or we’ll let schools sit in limbo”. Let’s be clear: if they truly cared about kids, they wouldn’t be using children’s education as a bargaining chip. This isn’t about helping students. It’s about political power, backroom deals, and forcing through more spending on the taxpayer dime. And who gets hurt when Lansing plays these games? Parents. Teachers. School districts. And ultimately, our kids. Meanwhile, hardworking Michigan families keep paying more in taxes while politicians treat the state budget like a hostage negotiation. Enough. We need leaders who govern responsibly—not politicians who manufacture chaos to get what they want. This November, voters have a choice: keep rewarding the same reckless political games… or elect leaders who will put Michigan families first. Remember who played politics with your kids. @matthewmaddock

Veterans for America First Endorses Anthony Forlini for Michigan Secretary of State WASHINGTON, D.C. — Veterans for America First (VFAF) proudly announces its endorsement of Anthony Forlini for Michigan Secretary of State, recognizing his proven record of public service, election administration experience, and commitment to America First principles. Anthony Forlini brings a unique combination of private-sector leadership and government experience to the race. A longtime Macomb County business owner and Certified Financial Planner™, Forlini has spent more than four decades helping individuals, families, and small businesses achieve their financial goals while building a reputation for accountability and customer service. Currently serving as Macomb County Clerk and Register of Deeds, Forlini oversees elections in Michigan's third-largest county and has become widely recognized for implementing significant election integrity reforms and modernizing county operations. During his tenure, he conducted a county election forensic audit, removed deceased individuals from voter rolls, referred suspected voter fraud cases for prosecution, implemented ballot watermarking procedures, and became the first county clerk in Michigan to remove voting machine modems from internet connectivity. "Anthony Forlini is exactly the type of proven leader Michigan needs as its next Secretary of State," said Veterans for America First leadership. "He is the only candidate in this race with hands-on experience administering elections, conducting audits, improving voter roll accuracy, and implementing meaningful election security reforms. His record demonstrates both competence and courage." Forlini's public service career spans more than two decades. He previously served as Harrison Township Supervisor, Michigan State Representative, and later as District Director for Congressman Paul Mitchell. As a state legislator, he maintained a perfect voting attendance record, authored and supported numerous bipartisan reforms, and played a role in strengthening Michigan election laws and government accountability measures. A graduate of Western Michigan University, with additional studies at Macomb Community College, The American College, and the College for Financial Planning, Forlini was recognized among the top student leaders on campus and served as President of Davis Hall during his university years. Veterans for America First also recognizes Forlini's commitment to election transparency and voter confidence. He has publicly advocated for removing Michigan from ERIC, strengthening voter roll maintenance procedures, improving oversight of election systems, enhancing audits, and preventing non-citizens from appearing on voter rolls. His work in Macomb County has focused on increasing accountability while maintaining public trust in the electoral process. Beyond government service, Forlini has been actively involved in numerous civic and community organizations, including the Knights of Columbus, Selfridge Base Community Council, local chambers of commerce, and various charitable and educational organizations throughout Southeast Michigan. "Anthony Forlini understands that trust in government must be earned through transparency, verification, and accountability," VFAF stated. "His extensive experience, proven leadership, and commitment to serving the people of Michigan make him the clear choice for Secretary of State." Veterans for America First is proud to endorse Anthony Forlini and looks forward to supporting his campaign to bring experienced, results-driven leadership to the Michigan Secretary of State's office @tonyforlini1 Michigan State Chapter Cindi Holland, President @Cindi1Shorty MI — Veterans for America First Londa Gatt, Vice President MI — Veterans for America First @DougLloyd4ag VFAF Media Contact Christi Tasker @christi4miami

Jocelyn Benson — Organized Summary of Malfeasance Preface: This document has been analyzed by the AI known as “Claude” using the document titled “Michigan’s Corruption Explained – Follow the Money” Version compiled on June 11, 2026 by Investigative Reporter – Bob Cushman. This master document results from seven years of research on various forms of corruption and malfeasance and is exemplified in 129 Chapters and 1011 pages. The individual chapters and the complete version of all chapters can be downloaded for study and/or verification by clicking on (https://t.co/X28MYpbAJb) This complete work is referred by the author as “the Michigan Corruption Dossier”. Compiled from "Michigan's Corruption Explained – Follow The Money" by Bob Cushman (ver. 051426) Scope note: This document organizes the allegations and findings as presented by the author. Where the source document itself records a court outcome, that outcome is noted — including rulings that went in Benson's favor. Footnote links are reproduced from the document; a few were line-wrapped or garbled in the PDF and have been repaired where the original is recoverable (flagged where uncertain). I. Alleged Unlawful Rulemaking — "Creating Election Law Without Legislative Authority" 1. The 2022 Election Challenger Manual (Chapters 40, 47, 52–55). The document's most heavily developed allegation. The author contends that Benson's May 2022 manual, "The Appointment, Rights, and Duties of Election Challengers and Poll Watchers," imposed restrictions on poll challengers that have no basis in statute and directly contradict challenger rights enumerated in MCL 168.733 — including bans on speaking with election inspectors other than a "challenger liaison," distance restrictions near poll books, prohibitions on phones and recording devices at absent voter counting boards, warning/ejection procedures recorded in poll books, and sequestration of ejected challengers until 8 p.m. The author argues this violates Article IV § 1 of the Michigan Constitution, which vests lawmaking power solely in the Legislature, and incorporates Patrick Colbeck's formal request for remedy itemizing manual provisions against MCL 168.727, 168.733, and 168.742. Litigation trail as recorded in the document: Five plaintiffs (counsel Ann Howard) and a parallel RNC/MRP suit were consolidated before Court of Claims Judge Swartzle, who ruled against Benson on October 20, 2022, finding the manual conflicted with statute.[^1][^2] Benson appealed rather than revise the manual; on November 3, 2022, the Michigan Supreme Court granted Benson's request for a stay, 5-2, allowing the manual to govern the November 2022 election.[^3][^4] Justice Zahra dissented, writing that the Secretary "cannot have it both ways" by calling binding requirements mere "instructions" exempt from the Administrative Procedures Act, and Justice Viviano's dissent stated the election would "not be governed by Michigan law as interpreted by the only court to rule on the merits."[^5] The document reproduces a Gateway Pundit analysis by Patty McMurray of these decisions.[^6] The author also alleges Benson filed a motion to appeal the order compelling her to conform the manual to statute, characterized as a refusal to follow the law.[^7] 2. The 2020 absentee-signature guidance (Chapters 50, 66). The author alleges Benson's October 2020 guidance instructed clerks to presume absentee ballot signatures were valid, contrary to statutory signature-verification requirements. The document records that Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray ruled the guidance invalid in March 2021 as an improperly promulgated "rule" under the APA.[^8] 3. The Election Officials' Manual, Chapter 8 — mismatched ballot numbers (Chapters 51, 52). The author alleges that Chapter 8 of Benson's official Election Officials' Manual (updated October 2020), posted on the SOS website,[^9][^10] instructs workers to process absentee ballots whose stub numbers do not match the poll book as "challenged" ballots — which are then counted — whereas MCL 168.797a(2) requires such ballots to be rejected. Because the manual is statewide guidance, the author concludes the entire state processed absentee ballots illegally in 2020, 2021, and 2022, and identifies this as "one of the primary pathways" of alleged absentee ballot fraud. This overlaps with the Karamo v. Winfrey emergency suit (Case 22-012759-AW, filed October 26, 2022, before Judge Timothy Kenny), which alleged Detroit's AVCB taped over and relabeled mismatched ballot numbers and counted the ballots. II. Alleged Election-Administration Failures and Fraud Enablement 4. The 6-foot rule at the TCF Center (Chapter 50). Benson allegedly imposed an unauthorized rule in 2020 forcing challengers to stand at least six feet from election workers; challengers attempting to perform statutory duties were expelled from the TCF Center. The document notes the rule was overturned/settled in litigation.[^11] 5. Refusal to remove ~26,000 deceased registrants from voter rolls (Chapters 50, 66). The author alleges Benson knowingly kept roughly 25,000–26,000 dead voters on the Qualified Voter File. The document records that Judge Jane M. Beckering rejected Benson's motion to dismiss the lawsuit over the rolls.[^12][^13] 6. Failure to supervise Detroit elections (Chapters 50, 51). In August 2020 the chair and vice chair of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers formally resolved to request that Benson appoint a monitor over Detroit's absentee voter counting boards and investigate Detroit's training and processes.[^14] The author alleges Benson failed to provide that oversight in 2020, 2021, and 2022, and "looked the other way" while Detroit Clerk Janice Winfrey's worker manual instructed illegal processing of mismatched absentee ballots (see Item 3). 7. Uncertified election equipment (Chapter 50). The author asserts that Michigan's election equipment used under Benson's administration was not certified.[^15] 8. Outsourcing voter-file maintenance (Chapter 66). Citing Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal, the author alleges Benson abdicated her federally designated duty by illegally outsourcing voter file maintenance, in claimed violation of the Help America Vote Act. 9. "Fomenting violence" through false narratives (Chapter 50). The author alleges Benson publicly promoted a false narrative of right-wing election threats — citing a Face the Nation appearance — characterized in the document as setting the stage for a "false flag" ahead of November 8, 2022.[^16] III. Alleged Financial Misconduct and Conflicts of Interest 10. MCELA and the $12 million in "Zuckerbucks" (Chapters 50, 66). Benson founded the Michigan Center for Election Law and Administration (originally the Richard Austin Center) in 2008 and led it until turning it over to associates — including Sally Marsh, her own SOS director of special projects and former campaign deputy. The document alleges that in 2020 this nominally nonpartisan 501(c)(3), which had never reported over $50,000 in revenue, received $12,040,000from the Zuckerberg/Chan-funded Center for Election Innovation and Research and spent $11,889,365 of it within months — $9,799,407 to Waterfront Strategies (a subsidiary of GMMB, the largest Democratic consulting firm) and $2,088,000 to Alper Strategies (founded by Democratic strategist Jill Alper). The author characterizes this as an illegal partisan use of a nonpartisan charity tied directly to the sitting Secretary of State.[^17][^18][^19][^20] 11. Non-enforcement of campaign contribution limits (Chapters 41, 42). As the state's chief campaign-finance officer, Benson allegedly took no action against more than $6.4 million in donations to Gov. Whitmer exceeding the $7,150 individual limit (including $250,000 each from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and attorney Mark Bernstein). The document reproduces the author's formal letter to Benson identifying 155 over-limit donations totaling roughly $4,745,000 and requesting their return; no remedial action is recorded. 12. Alleged "smurf" money laundering into Benson's 2026 gubernatorial campaign (Chapters 94, 117). The document's capstone Benson allegation. Analyzing the Michigan Campaign Finance database,[^21] the author reports that of $5,581,032donated to Benson's committees since November 8, 2022, $2,532,256 (45%) came from out of state, across 42,092 donations (49.6% out-of-state) — which the author argues is explicable only as laundering through "smurfs" (identities, disproportionately seniors aged 64–85, allegedly used without their knowledge to break large sums into thousands of micro-donations). Named examples with full data files: Robert Ahronheim (Ann Arbor, 448 FEC donations, ~$29,614),[^22] Linda Appling (Lansing, ~8,700 donations, ~$74,000),[^23] Terry Harris (Howard City, 1,416 donations averaging $2),[^24] Mary Hannon (Jackson),[^25] Marcella Menconi (Surprise, AZ — $1 donations precisely on the 28th of each month),[^26] Ted Gurtner (Ocean Pines, MD),[^27] Sokhan Hing (Clinton, MD — 2,925 donations averaging $1.75),[^28] Frank Rowsome (Severna Park, MD — $87,171 over 3,390 donations),[^29] Frederick Wanzenberg (White Plains/Larchmont, NY — $179,262 over 8,868 donations),[^30] and Michael Bailey (Casselberry, FL — repeated $1 donations). The alleged mechanism runs through ActBlue, which the author connects to the April 24, 2025 White House memorandum ordering a Treasury/DOJ investigation into straw-donor and foreign contributions, citing 22 "significant fraud campaigns" detected on the platform and 237 foreign-IP prepaid-card donations in a 30-day 2024 window.[^31] The author further disputes Benson's "94% grassroots, no corporate PAC money" campaign claim as cover for this structure, and the supporting full-donation dataset is published by the author.[^32][^33] IV. Pattern Characterization (Author's Synthesis) Across Chapters 40–55, 66, 94, and 117, the author's through-line is that Benson repeatedly (a) legislated by manual in violation of the APA and Michigan Constitution — losing at the Court of Claims at least three times (Murray 2021, Swartzle 2022, and the October 2022 challenger-form ruling) before being rescued by a Supreme Court stay; (b) selectively declined to enforce election and campaign-finance law against allied officials (Whitmer, Winfrey); (c) maintained undisclosed partisan financial machinery (MCELA/Zuckerbucks); and (d) is herself the beneficiary of an industrial-scale ActBlue smurfing operation funding her 2026 gubernatorial run. The document quotes a Karamo campaign claim that "this is the fifth time a judge has slapped her down."

The document reproduces the author's formal letter to Benson identifying 155 over-limit donations totaling roughly $4,745,000 and requesting their return; no remedial action is recorded.
12. Alleged "smurf" money laundering into Benson's 2026 gubernatorial campaign (Chapters 94, 117). The document's capstone Benson allegation. Analyzing the Michigan Campaign Finance database,[^21] the author reports that of $5,581,032donated to Benson's committees since November 8, 2022, $2,532,256 (45%) came from out of state, across 42,092 donations (49.6% out-of-state) — which the author argues is explicable only as laundering through "smurfs" (identities, disproportionately seniors aged 64–85, allegedly used without their knowledge to break large sums into thousands of micro-donations). Named examples with full data files: Robert Ahronheim (Ann Arbor, 448 FEC donations, ~$29,614),[^22] Linda Appling (Lansing, ~8,700 donations, ~$74,000),[^23] Terry Harris (Howard City, 1,416 donations averaging $2),[^24] Mary Hannon (Jackson),[^25] Marcella Menconi (Surprise, AZ — $1 donations precisely on the 28th of each month),[^26] Ted Gurtner (Ocean Pines, MD),[^27] Sokhan Hing (Clinton, MD — 2,925 donations averaging $1.75),[^28] Frank Rowsome (Severna Park, MD — $87,171 over 3,390 donations),[^29] Frederick Wanzenberg (White Plains/Larchmont, NY — $179,262 over 8,868 donations),[^30] and Michael Bailey (Casselberry, FL — repeated $1 donations). The alleged mechanism runs through ActBlue, which the author connects to the April 24, 2025 White House memorandum ordering a Treasury/DOJ investigation into straw-donor and foreign contributions, citing 22 "significant fraud campaigns" detected on the platform and 237 foreign-IP prepaid-card donations in a 30-day 2024 window.[^31] The author further disputes Benson's "94% grassroots, no corporate PAC money" campaign claim as cover for this structure, and the supporting full-donation dataset is published by the author.[^32][^33]
IV. Pattern Characterization (Author's Synthesis)
Across Chapters 40–55, 66, 94, and 117, the author's through-line is that Benson repeatedly (a) legislated by manual in violation of the APA and Michigan Constitution — losing at the Court of Claims at least three times (Murray 2021, Swartzle 2022, and the October 2022 challenger-form ruling) before being rescued by a Supreme Court stay; (b) selectively declined to enforce election and campaign-finance law against allied officials (Whitmer, Winfrey); (c) maintained undisclosed partisan financial machinery (MCELA/Zuckerbucks); and (d) is herself the beneficiary of an industrial-scale ActBlue smurfing operation funding her 2026 gubernatorial run. The document quotes a Karamo campaign claim that "this is the fifth time a judge has slapped her down."

Heads must roll… 🚨 Sen. Ron Johnson says there is a total Media BLACKOUT on the new COVID Vax Child Death count study— 24% of 39,000 Victims Died the SAME DAY or Within 48 Hours! “They KNEW and Did NOTHING!” Sen. Johnson is discussing a new FDA analysis/report he released on pediatric deaths linked to the COVID-19 vaccines. The data shows overwhelming safety signals that were ignored by health authorities in every major category. Even worse! Dr. Peter Marks was made aware of these safety signals on March 26, 2021 that the inventors of the algorithm that analyzes the VAERS data was trying to (HIDE) the adverse events. https://t.co/H4k1digELi
