year before he assisted the Ukraine whistle-blower in an anti-Trump impeachment saga, national security official Gavin Wilde published multiple articles seemingly promoting Russia collusion claims and calls for social media censorship while working for the Trump Defense Department. Wilde — known only as “Witness 2” in internal intelligence memos from the Ukraine impeachment episode but identified by Just the News — had worked with disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok and had co-authored the flawed January 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 election prior to serving on the Trump National Security Council in 2018 and 2019.

Now that the Southern Poverty Law Center is being exposed, it is important to look back at some of the outrageous claims made by this group in the past. It is absolutely amazing to think that in 2015, they put Dr. Ben Carson on an ‘extremist’ list. Is ‘extremist’ one of the words that comes into your mind when you think of Carson? Perhaps when they targeted one of the most renowned and highly respected pediatric brain surgeons in the entire country in this way, it was a clue that they were not operating in good faith. They were eventually forced to take Carson off the list and then apologized…

President Donald Trump has signed five executive orders that address critical segments of the nation’s energy infrastructure – a move made under the presidential determinations of the Defense Production Act that allows a U.S. president to mobilize industry for purposes of national security. The two-term president has long pushed for energy development and the infrastructure to support it as a key aspect of national security. The orders, signed amid the U.S. war with Iran, seek to address issues with the aging electricity grid, the need for natural gas pipelines, coal supply chains and large-scale electricity —

After Virginia Democrats successfully convinced voters to approve a constitutionally questionable redistricting push to seize more U.S. congressional seats in the state, Florida is now in the spotlight. In the Sunshine State, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is spearheading an effort to redraw the state’s congressional districts before the midterm elections. Earlier this year, he called a special session of the state legislature to consider redrawing the maps. Now, Republicans see it as an opportunity to cancel out the likely gains that Democrats won in Virginia. Following that vote, allies of President Donald Trump have urged Florida to move forward with its plans before the midterm elections.

Two former attorneys general under the Obama administration—Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch—have led their respective firms’ efforts on the racial equity audits. Holder is a partner with the firm Covington & Burling.

Nothing that the Iranians say can be taken at face value because there is no Iranian government. The first and second echelon of that apparatus is gone. So you have the people in the military, that’s one clique. You’ve got the theocracy, the Khamenei, you know, surrogates. That’s another. You’ve got the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It’s probably the most dominant. Then you’ve got these elected politicians. And they have two driving concerns. One, they are terrified that one of the other three groups will think they’re weak and are negotiating with the Americans and either kill ’em or marginalize ’em or cut off their revenues, such as it is.

The DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for wire fraud, money laundering and false statements [Indictment Here], confirms long-held suspicions that Democrat-aligned activist groups have been financing racism, hate mobs and political violence. For all intents and purposes, the SPLC is a leftist/progressive activist organization who bills itself as anti-racism, yet this same SPLC organization was using cut outs to fund the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, Unite the Right, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated, Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party) and American Front.

Read the answers, as well as how Ukraine is now following the path that Israel once took, in an interview with Michael Brodsky, Israel’s Ambassador to Ukraine, for RBC-Ukraine. Key points Russia and Iran's role. The weakening of Iran in the medium term will inevitably lead to a weakening of Russia’s position in the Middle East. Israel considers any military aid to Iran unacceptable and is conveying this message to Moscow. Cooperation with Ukraine. The two countries are engaged in dialogue on security and the exchange of unique combat experience. Brodsky agrees that Ukraine has already become a contributor to global security by helping Gulf countries defend against drones.

This forecast does not look good. Archaeologists might need to locate Noah’s lost ark sooner than we think. By 2085, over a third of all land animals’ habitats could be adversely impacted by extreme weather events such as fires and floods, should temperatures continue to surge worldwide, per an alarming study in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. If we don’t reverse course, this “Day After Tomorrow”-esque confluence of events could potentially expedite extinctions.
This Screaming Match Between Greg Gutfeld

Greg Gutfeld absolutely destroyed Jessica Tarlov on The Five on Thursday, and boy did things get crazy. It was the kind of television that makes you put down your phone and actually pay attention. The two went back and forth, screaming at each other over the question of whether the American right-wing threat narrative has always been overblown, ginned up, or an outright fabrication. And boy did Gutfeld come in swinging… and he never really stopped, either. It started when Tarlov pushed back on Gutfeld's characterization of hate crime hoaxes, demanding examples. Gutfeld was ready.

A Virginia state senator told colleagues he understands rural America because he grew up watching “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Democratic state Sen. Lamont Bagby made the claim during a floor debate on the state’s gerrymandering amendment, according to video posted by WJLA reporter Nick Minock. Bagby pushed back on Republicans who argued Democrats have no grasp of rural life. “I grew up watching the Waltons. I grew up with Opie. I even watched the Dukes of Hazzard. I think I know a little bit about rural America,” Bagby said, apparently referencing “The Waltons” and “The Andy Griffith Show” alongside the hit CBS series. He then rattled off characters from

The Department of Justice on Friday directed the Bureau of Prisons to expand death penalty protocols to include pentobarbital injections and firing squads as part of broader actions to strengthen the federal death penalty. "Today, the Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals," the DOJ memo obtained by Fox News read. "Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining

The Southern Poverty Law Center scandal is reverberating everywhere today. We always knew the SPLC was a fraud perpetrated for the benefit of the Democratic Party, but I, for one, never imagined that it was actually funding the organizations that it excoriated. But with hindsight, it makes sense: the SPLC needed to keep alive absurd groups like the Ku Klux Klan to keep the money coming in, so that it could smear completely innocent organizations like Turning Point USA, Coral Ridge Ministries, the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Family Research Council, which was its true purpose. This is what makes the claim of SPLC’s defenders that

Joe Biden has told his absurd Charlottesville story so many times that it has become folklore. He has framed a 2017 rally in Virginia as a moral turning point and the moment that supposedly compelled him to step in and “save” the country, and run for president in 2020. Biden’s claim was emotionally effective — even if difficult to believe — which is exactly why it has been repeated so often. But the narrative is even more laughable when you juxtapose it with what the Department of Justice is now alleging.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Millions more Americans might qualify for dual Canadian citizenship under a recent change to Canada’s requirements that has led to a surge in applications from its southern neighbor. For people like Zack Loud of Farmington, Minnesota, it was a surprise to learn that under a new law, Canada already considered him and his siblings citizens because their grandmother is Canadian. “My wife and I were already talking about potentially looking at jobs outside the country, but citizenship pushed Canada way up on our list,” he said. Since the new law took effect on Dec. 15, immigration lawyers in the United States and Canada say they have been overwhelmed

Big-name donors to the Southern Poverty Law Center, including George Clooney and George Soros, have stayed silent amid allegations that the nonprofit funneled more than $3 million to the hate groups it claimed to fight. The SPLC was charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering on Wednesday for allegedly bankrolling at least eight leaders and members of extremist groups — all behind the backs of their deep-pocketed benefactors. The foundations of Clooney and Soros, along with MGM Resorts and other high-profile backers, haven’t spoken up about the Justice Department indictment.
Why Do Democrats Hate America? 13 replies
Posted by Hazymac 4/24/2026 9:52:30 AM Post Reply
Democrats and their ideological allies really do hate America. Earlier this week, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy highlighted a disputed news story claiming that a shadow fleet of several dozen Iranian vessels had successfully eluded the U.S. Navy’s blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Above what appears to have been Iranian propaganda, Murphy wrote one word: “Awesome.” How much does a Democrat senator have to hate the country he putatively represents to root for a foreign enemy presently engaged in battle with the United States? Murphy’s choice to side with Iran’s Islamic terrorists over American servicemembers should surprise no-one.
