RIVER FOREST, Ill. -- An 11-year-old boy from the Chicago area died at a Michigan Scout camp on Thursday from injuries he incurred when a tree fell on him, a press release from the Muskegon County Sheriff's Office said.

The boy was walking through a trail in the forest at a Boy Scouts of America summer camp at the Owasippe Scout Reservation in western Michigan when a tree fell and hit him, according to the sheriff's office.

How We Can Win vs. China

No matter how we feel about China, their industrial power can no longer be ignored.

In a short time, China has become the world’s largest carmaker, steel producer, electronics exporter, and patent filer.

But not long ago, in the 1980s and ‘90s, China was among the poorest countries in the world.

More than 90% of the country’s population lived in extreme poverty in the early ‘80s.

Billionaire Subsidy Passed, BTW it's just TIF Money

Finance Committee approves $425M subsidy for site that includes Fire stadium

Political pushback preceded a pair of lopsided votes for bankrolling infrastructure for a South Loop project led by billionaire team owner Joe Mansueto. Some questioned using TIF dollars to build a parking garage.




The 78 development site, a stretch land south of Roosevelt Road and west of Clark Street in the South Loop, got the green light from a City Council committee for $425 million to subsidize public infrastructure.

Despite myriad concerns, a City Council committee Monday overwhelmingly approved a $425 million tax increment financing subsidy to bankroll the public improvements needed to support a South Loop development anchored by a new soccer stadium privately financed by the Chicago Fire.

Suspicious death, hours after returning from Ukraine. Time-released poison?

Midget Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, a man that would gladly have your children march on Iran and Russia, Dead at 71

Mr. Graham died of a “brief and sudden” illness on Saturday evening, his office said. Over more than two decades in the Senate, he consistently pushed for the use of U.S. military power overseas.

Never saw a war he didn't like.

UPDATE: Circumstances strongly suggest that he was murdered. Russians did it?

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. - The suspect who shot an Indiana State Police trooper during a car chase Friday morning has been found dead, authorities said.

What we know:

The shooting happened near a Speedway gas station at 2884 U.S. 421 in Michigan City.

Indiana State Police said the chase began around 5:30 a.m. when officers in Berrien County, Michigan, tried to stop a stolen silver Ford F-150. The suspect crossed into Indiana and got away.

A short time later, an Indiana State Police trooper found the truck on Interstate 94 and began chasing it before the two vehicles collided on U.S. 421.

Police said the suspect then opened fire on the trooper, and the trooper returned fire as the suspect drove away.

On June 25, 2026, the technology giant Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) increased prices for its computer products by $100 to $500. So, a new MacBook Neo went up 17%. And a new iPad Pro jumped 25%.

That, my friends, is inflation. The company cited the rising cost of memory for the need to bump up prices. Effectively passing along the cost increase to consumers.
