Shocking, I know.
It turns out that the Southern Poverty Law Center was funded by USAID. More specifically, USAID funded the "Vote Your Voice" program at the SPLC through the Tides Center (a left-wing NGO-funding organization).
And you just thought your USAID dollars were funding poor kids in Africa or something. (X) The NGO funding machine is getting harder to ignore.
USAID funneled $27 million through the Tides Center, with some of it going directly into the Southern Poverty Law Center.
For years, the liberal left inside the federal government hijacked nonprofits as pass-through vehicles; a legal loophole to launder taxpayer dollars into partisan left-wing networks like SPLC.

Leftists Are Destroying Social Trust

Any sane person, meaning anybody to the right of the median Democrat, knows that Liberalism and prosperity depend on free markets, the rule of law, and basic civil liberties.
Without a high degree of social trust, none of those things is possible.
Robert Putnam's 1993 book, Making Democracy Work, explored this very topic by examining Italy's regions and asking, "Why are Northern and Central Italy prosperous, but Southern Italy and Sicily not?"
It's simple enough: Northern Italy has a long history of civic engagement and social trust developed over time, and Southern Italy is tribal, run by extended gangs called families.

Why Do Democrats Hate America?
12 replies
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.
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.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has awarded itself far more grace than it deserves by having the word “poverty” in its name, which conjures up images of bootstrap liberal attorneys who live and work like the fictional Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. The founders of the organization, in 1971, integrated a myth that became a legend in the very naming of the organization. From a branding standpoint, this is an amazing feat. But author Harper Lee took a shot at her own iconic character with a sequel to that story that, in light of this week's news, strikes an interesting parallel.
Now it seems that this fictional archetype

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
I was on active duty in the Navy in 1979 when the mullahs replaced the Shah and started their special Islamic revolution. I never served in Vietnam but was stationed with a number of veterans of that war, and was surprised when so many of them started repeating what became almost a chant in our unit: “Nuke them, nuke them. Nuke them ‘til the sands turn to glass.” I was working in a big hospital, and the chanters were mainly doctors and corpsmen. They were, as we might say nowadays, kidding, not kidding.
I knew they were bitter about the outcome of the war in Southeast Asia, but I wondered
Virginia used to be a model of fair redistricting. That reputation is now gone.
On Tuesday, Virginia Democrats passed a redistricting plan that transforms one of the most fairly apportioned states in the country into one of the most blatantly gerrymandered.
Keep in mind that Virginia only narrowly backed Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in 2024 by roughly five points. Virginia is, in every way, a battleground state. Yet under the new map, nearly half the state’s voters effectively lose their voice. The new lines snake from densely packed, heavily Democratic suburbs deep into rural territory. There is nothing democratic about it.

As he stood center stage in Newark Monday night, Bruce Springsteen was a familiar portrait of rock-god pomp and fervor.
Fans roared with adoration as the resolute Boss opened his Prudential Center concert with the same preamble he’s given each night on his new tour: “The America I love, the America that I’ve written about for 50 years that has been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous administration,” he said.
“Tonight we ask all of you to join with us in choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness,
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for decades has lectured America about the ever-present threat of “hate” groups while raking in hundreds of millions from donors fearful of these organizations.
But on Tuesday, the Trump DOJ dropped a bombshell: an 11-count federal indictment charging the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering for secretly funneling more than $3 million in donor cash to actual extremists.
Among those nefarious payments was a staggering $270,000 allegedly paid to a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
Chadwick Willacy, 58, received the three-drug injection for the 1990 killing of Marlys Sather. It was the state's fifth execution in 2026 following a record 19 executions last year.
A man who set his neighbor on fire after she returned from work to find him burglarizing her Brevard County home was executed Tuesday evening at the Florida State Prison near Starke.
Chadwick Scott Willacy, 58, received a three-drug injection and was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m for the 1990 killing of Marlys Sather. It was Florida's fifth execution this year.

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.

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

Senate Majority Leader John Thune encouraged senators to stop talking about President Donald Trump’s stated priority of nuking the filibuster, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
After a few moderates at the Senate’s Wednesday steering lunch urged the Republican conference not to talk about nuking the filibusteropens in a new tab, Thune agreed that the move lacks the necessary support in the current conference, the sources said.
Thune clearly seemed to agree with the members asking their colleagues to stop discussing it, the sources said.
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

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…
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.
A Northern California woman has died from a snake bite, marking the third death of its kind in the Golden State so far this year.

(Snip) A Costa Mesa man, identified as 25-year-old Julian Hernandez, died after he was bitten by a rattlesnake while mountain biking at Quail Hill Trailhead in Irvine on Feb. 1.

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,
