Democrats Beclown Themselves by Defending
SPLC Amid KKK Funding Scandal
Posted By: Mercedes44, 4/24/2026 4:45:56 AM
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which makes its money by exaggerating “hate” to scare donors and by comparing conservatives to the Ku Klux Klan, was itself funding Klan members—and now major Democrats are beclowning themselves by defending it. Like a dog returns to its vomit, so Democrats return to the ridiculous claim that the SPLC is some sort of noble civil rights group and that to attack it is to attack America’s soul. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., claimed that the Justice Department’s indictment against the SPLC is “turning what America’s all about inside out.”

It's pretty safe to say at this point that Democrats want as many illegal immigrants to enter the country as possible because they believe they will eventually become loyal Democrat voters. So it's no surprise that they have complete disdain for agencies like Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who are trying to remove those potential Democrat voters. And as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demonstrated, they don't care who knows it. According to Breitbart Texas, during a late-night Senate debate on funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ending the partial government shutdown that, yes, is still going on, Schumer said this:
America's insurance system is broken — and patients are rightfully frustrated. But Democrats are exploiting that frustration to push for a cure that would be worse than the disease: socialized medicine. U.S. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) recently suggested that the solution to America's insurance woes is to simply "allow everyone to buy into Medicare."What this conveniently ignores is that Democrats' years-long push for socialized health care created the mess we're in today.
Democrats shoved the Affordable Care Act through Congress and expanded it into a vast system of healthcare subsidies.
A few years ago, I was eating breakfast in a DC hotel listening to two men talk about their schedule for the day. Their business was decorating homes for Christmas, and they were discussing their heavy workload. As I listened quietly the men were describing premium rates for DC families who wanted their decorating services completed fastest. The average rate was $15,000 per residence for 30-day interior holiday decorating, and the rates went up from there. They were overwhelmed with business calls.
I sat there stunned doing spit-takes with my coffee while thinking, “holy cow, who has that kind of money to blow, just renting Holiday decorations?”
The narratives often suggest that the US campaign has failed and that Tehran remains firmly in control. In reality, however, US President Donald J. Trump has pursued a strategy that departs radically from decades of precedent — one that has left the Iranian regime cornered in ways not previously seen.
Rather than adhering to the usual norms of the international system, Trump redefined them — combining military force, economic coercion, serious deadlines and diplomatic "off-ramps" in rapid succession — denying Iran the ability to settle into its familiar pattern of adaptation and delay.
Florida Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) is edging out his potential Democrat challengers in the Sunshine State’s gubernatorial race, an Echelon Insights survey reveals. The survey put Trump-endorsed Donalds against former Democrat David Jolly – a Republican turned Democrat. Donalds leads Jolly by six points, garnering 49 percent support to Jolly’s 43 percent support.
The survey also put Donalds against Democrat Mayor of Orange County, Florida, Jerry Demings. In that scenario, Donalds leads by four points – 48 percent to Demings’ 44 percent support.
“Byron Donalds is the only candidate in this race who can defeat any Democrat, unite Republicans, and defend the Florida Dream for our families, seniors, and young people,”
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals handed Texas its third win Friday on border security.
As the border crisis escalated during the Biden administration, Gov. Greg Abbott took a series of measures to implement border security efforts, including building and expanding concertina wire barriers, building a border wall and installing marine barriers in the Rio Grande River, all on Texas soil. He also signed several border security bills into law, including SB 4.
Border barriers were implemented through Abbott’s border security initiative, Operation Lone Star. In response, the Biden administration and private groups sued.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Friday that the upcoming talks between their government and the United States will be facilitated by Pakistan and therefore, they will not have direct peace negotiations with the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff are expected to head to Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend for the next round of peace talks at Iran's request.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will meet with Pakistani officials as part of its efforts to end the "American imposed war of aggression and the restitution of peace in our region."
The Trump administration is continuing to crack down on fraudulent visa schemes that are occurring nationwide.
In New Jersey, a Korean man pleaded guilty to fraudulently using a B-1/B-2 visa program in a forced labor and charity fraud scheme. The visas are for business or tourism and prohibit visa holders from working in the U.S.
In this case, Hyung Ki Kim and coconspirators were involved in a 13-year conspiracy to bring South Koreans to the U.S. through “fraudulently obtained visas as part of an unlawful work scheme,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey.
Athletes betting for or against themselves and their teammates is something that's been going on for decades. We regularly see insider trading in the finance, corporate, and political worlds. But active duty military members betting via prediction markets on matters of national security is kind of new. In 2025, the prediction marketplace Polymarket began allowing people to enter "binary event contracts related to whether certain events involving Venezuela and/or [Nicolás] Maduro would, or would not, occur," according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
A 38-year-old from Fayetteville, N.C. named Gannon Ken Van Dyke won almost $410,000 on all of these Maduro- and Venezuela-related bets. The problem?
My deep-seated loathing of the United States Department of Education and all that it has wrought is well known to people who have been reading my stuff for a long time. I've been writing about school choice for a couple of decades now. On the most recent episode of "Faith All Over the Place," I told my friends Chris Queen and Ashley McCully something to the effect of, "I can blame most of the societal ills that plague America on federal involvement in public education." (Side note: for the precise quote, please listen to the podcast! It's always all-access.)
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.
Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei hasn’t released an audio or video message since assuming power because his face was badly burned in Israeli airstrikes on Feb, 28, according to a report — as President Trump says peace talks are inhibited by a lack of clear leadership in Tehran.
Khamenei, 56, “does not want to appear vulnerable or sound weak,” four Iranian officials told the New York Times, adding that one of the ayatollah’s legs has been “operated on three times, and he is awaiting a prosthetic,” while he also has had surgery on one of his hands.
“His face and lips have been burned severely,

Gaza flotilla following sexual misconduct allegations 18 replies
Never mind saving the planet — they just wanted to rock on the boat. Lefty activists reportedly got frisky on the so-called freedom flotilla meant to bring aid to Gaza — becoming the subject of a recent sex scandal. And even the Swedish queen of sanctimony herself is rumored to have chosen to “seas” the day aboard the vessel.
A White House Correspondents’ Dinner volunteer said the suspected gunman appeared to assemble a “long” weapon in a lightly monitored area near the terrace-level entrance before opening fire and rushing toward the ballroom.
The witness, Helen Mabus, a volunteer working the event who said she is from Harrisburg, Pa., described a “makeshift room” near the entrance where bar carts were being stored and where “there was no security” at the time.
“He was in that room […] he grabbed it out of a bag or something,” Mabus said, adding that the weapon “was long” and “didn’t look like a typical gun.”

NJ as FBI investigates possible ‘nightmare
scenario’: report 15 replies
Someone stole 15 giant agricultural drones in New Jersey — and experts fear a “nightmare scenario” if they end up in the hands of terrorists.
The fleet of Ceres Air C31 drones, which are about the size of an ATV, were ripped off March 24 by a bogus delivery driver who duped shipping and logistics company CAC International in Harrison, according to The High Side substack.
The four-armed flyers can carry and spray up to 40 gallons of liquid chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, and unleash the payload over a 15-acre span in just seven minutes. The FBI is concerned the chemical-spraying drones could be used to disperse biological or chemical

to put more officers on streets amid crime surge 15 replies
Cincinnati police chief Teresa Theetge was fired Thursday for ineffective leadership and failing to put more police officers on the street amid a crime surge despite the city manager begging her to do so.
Theetge, who has been in the role since 2022 but was a police officer for 35 years, was placed on administrative leave in October over her failure to bring down the city's violent crime rate.
"I recognize Chief Theetge’s more than 35 years of service to the Cincinnati Police Department and to this City." Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long told Fox News. "At the same time, after completing this review, it’s become
Should the USDA Be in Iowa or D.C.?

Washington D.C. is the capital of a vast federal bureaucracy, much of it useless, and completely out of touch with the people it rules over.
The USDA is one of the best examples. How much non-drug agriculture happens in D.C.? Not a lot.
So the Trump admin is proposing to move a bunch of USDA functions to farm country.
USDA announced on Thursday that the Food Safety and Inspection Service will move about two-thirds of its D.C. metro area workforce out of the region to relocate them to “mission-critical locations,” including new facilities in Iowa and Georgia. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement that this reorganization ensures FSIS “is positioned where

Nearly four years after the home of Catholic father of seven and pro-life activist Mark Houck was arrested at gunpoint, he and his wife won a settlement of more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
The Houck home, located in rural eastern Pennsylvania, was raided by 20 armed federal agents in the early hours of the morning on Sept. 23, 2022. Houck was arrested in front of his family and interrogated for six hours.
Once upon a time, stealing from others was considered wrong. Punto, finis, basta. Most elementary school kids were able to master it.
Today, petty theft is not only rampant, owing to the reign of Soros district attorneys who don't prosecute crime, it's being celebrated by the rich, radical chic elites.
The New York Post presents this charmer from the breed:
A longtime staff writer for the New Yorker known for bashing capitalism bragged that she has stolen from her local Whole Foods “on several occasions” in a New York Times podcast. Jia Tolentino, 37, made the shocking admission while joining left-wing streamer Hasan Piker and Times’ opinion culture editor Nadja Spiegelman
According to on-air reports, which were covering other topics when it occurred, shots have been fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The situation is fluid, and this post will be updated as more information becomes known.
UPDATE:
It is now being reported that the Secret Service has killed the shooter. It's not clear whether the assailant ever got a shot off.

The Tennessee state Legislature passed a bill Thursday that would expand the right to use deadly force to include property protection, easing a fear long held by gun owners.
The legislation, which would allow citizens to use deadly force to prevent arson, burglary, animal cruelty and robbery in certain situations, passed on party-line votes in the Republican-dominated Tennessee House of Representatives and Tennessee state Senate. Supporters of the legislation argued that law-abiding citizens should be allowed to protect their life’s work, Nashville-area TV station WKRN reported.
Labour is pressing ahead with plans to make hybrid drivers liable for a new pay-per-mile tax despite admitting they barely use their vehicles in electric mode. The Telegraph has the story.
Plug-in hybrid cars (PHEV) will become liable for Rachel Reeves’s new electric road tax from 2028, with each mile driven attracting a 1.5p fee. It will be half the 3p levy paid by owners of electric vehicles (EVs).
Last year, justifying the policy, the Treasury said PHEV motorists drove “more or less than 50% in electric mode”.
