“The scurrilous left-wing group had to pay for racism to meet demand,” Dan McLaughlin, National Review. Revelations that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center had been funding “hard right” extremist groups raise an important question beyond whether or not it was defrauding donors. The question is: If right-wing hate is so prevalent in America, why does the left have to fund it? We’re still learning what it is, exactly, that the SPLC has been up to, but what we’ve learned so far is pretty damning. The group — whose “hate map” holds tremendous sway with the press, politicians, and corporate...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) attacked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt for criticizing Democrats for their violent rhetoric after a shooting took place in the vicinity of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel. During a press conference on Monday, Jeffries labeled Leavitt a “stone-cold liar,” and accused her of reading “talking points” and being critical of words Democrats had said. “I know you said you stand by your comment, but at the same time you have been a subject of threats as well, so, with respect to this comment about maximum warfare, even if...

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, has been forced to postpone a scheduled anti-Trump documentary called Imperial Presidency due to yet another leftist allegedly attempting to assassinate President Trump. “[A]n update: My latest @CNN documentary, ‘The Imperial Presidency,’ will air at a later date. We will keep you posted,” CNN’s Fareed Zakaria wrote on X the day after Saturday night’s assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. As someone pointed out on X, “They keep having to delay programming on right-wing fascism because of left-wing violence.” The X post references The Savant, an...

🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(4/28/26)[Prayer]A New Study For A New Year: PersonalitiesNumbers 16:1-50 16 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: 3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing...

"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me" (Matt. 5:10-11). When you speak out for Christ, you can expect harassment, insults, and slander. Jesus mentioned three broad categories of suffering that Christians will experience. The first is persecution. "Persecuted" (Matt. 5:10) and "persecute" (v. 11) both come from the same Greek root meaning "to pursue" or "chase away." Over time it came to mean...

Everything Barack Obama interjects into public discourse always appears neutral on its face, but in truth is delivered within a systemic context or tone. Throughout his grueling presidency, Barack Obama assigned motives to any incident involving a white person and a black person. From Henry Louis Gates to Trayvon Martin to Jussie Smollett to George Floyd, until further notice, the person with the most melanin was always presumed innocent. By contrast, Caucasians were usually deemed worthy of special mention, especially in Obama’s April 2009 treatise on right-wing extremism, where Christians, prolifers, ex-military, and white people on the whole were suspected...

The U.S. is being “humiliated” by the Iranian regime, Germany’s chancellor has said, as disquiet among European leaders over a prolonged conflict in the Middle East gradually intensifies. “The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skillful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday. “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible,” Merz added, speaking to students in Marsberg in Germany. The comments...

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin slammed Rep. Rosa DeLauro for being “uninformed” Monday after the Connecticut Democrat completely lost it and suggested he drink weed killer during a heated congressional budget hearing. DeLauro, the purple-haired ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, argued Zeldin’s budget proposal “reads like a climate change denier’s manifesto” as she asked the EPA chief to “justify abandoning [the EPA’s] duty to protect Americans” from climate change. Zeldin, a former Republican New York congressman, wasn’t having it. “Following the law,” he responded. “Section 202 of the Clean Air Act. Where does it say anything about fighting global...

RunTime 13 m 13 s They told you it was a Billionaire Tax. 5%. One time. Only 200 people. Nothing to do with you. I went to page 26. One paragraph buried in 34 pages of fine print gives Sacramento the power to convert this into a tax on EVERYONE — your house, your 401k, your savings, your retirement — without asking you again. Ever. No ballot measure. No special election. No vote required. This is the same trick they pulled with AB 130. Newsom looked straight into the camera and told reporter Ashley Zavala he would NEVER sign a...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday called some of the principal Democrats who have recently been inciting their mindless minions to violence against President Donald Trump and his supporters, and it was a beautiful thing to see. But Leavitt likely knows that the hate-filled left is unlikely to be chastened, and even less likely to change its ways. For leftists, political power is their religion. Murdering their foes in pursuit of that power is no sin; it’s more like a sacrament. Leavitt said: “It’s not just the media. It is — the entire Democrat Party has made their...

This morning Sen. Chuck Grassley released the FBI Washington Field Office’s 12-page “electronic communication” (EC) that opened a preliminary investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Its extensive evidence of potential pay-to-play criminality among the Clinton family confirms the politicalization and weaponization of the Department of Justice. Late last year, another trove of documents—also released by Grassley—summarized the origins of three separate FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation, opened respectively out of the New York, Little Rock, and Washington D.C. field offices. As The Federalist reported at that time, those documents indicated that Ray Hulser, then head of the Department of Justice’s...

Smuggled video from inside an infamous Iranian prison captured the moment six dissidents broke into song to defy the Islamic regime one last time before they were hanged. The six men, all executed for their alleged actions against the regime, were seen standing in a courtyard at the notorious Ghezel Hesar prison as they made their final stand with a song of resistance. “Your rival stands before you now, hardened in the flame — I am the faith, I am revolt, with belief I take my stand — I’ve sworn an oath upon my blood, the tyrant’s throne shall shatter,”...

In January, the Franklin County Board of Elections in Ohio received a surprising call. The man on the line said he was an agent at the Department of Homeland Security – and he needed immediate access to voter records. Franklin County has a large population of Democrats and has long been a focal point of Republican skepticism about urban voting centers in Ohio. In the weeks that followed, the requests multiplied. According to emails reviewed by Reuters, the agent asked for voter registration forms and voting histories for dozens of voters – records that include driver's license numbers and other...

Jimmy Kimmel pushed back on the backlash against his “expectant widow” joke, declining to apologize for the joke itself and instead mocking the Trumps’ calls to cancel his show.During his Monday night monologue, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host took the stage in a pitch-black suit and told ABC viewers, “You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We’ve all been there, right?” **snip** “There was no big reaction to it until this morning, when I greeted the day facing yet another Twitter vomit...

Daily Readings from the USCCBThe feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe…” John 10:22–25How often does the Lord speak to us, yet we fail to listen? Like the Jews in today’s Gospel, we might ask, “Lord, tell me plainly Your will!” Jesus responds,...
