The alleged wannabe assassin at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was radicalized by rhetoric and believed that murdering members of the Trump administration was justified morally and spiritually. While no evidence thus far directly links him to the Southern Poverty Law Center, one must wonder how many acts of violence like this one could have been inspired by the SPLC’s misguided manifesto that the ends justify the means.The Southern Poverty Law Center has long cloaked itself in the mantle of a noble crusader against hate and extremism. The 11-count federal indictment handed down by a grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama,...

A few days ago, I wrote about hate being the lifeblood of the democrat party. Things have gone downhill quickly since then. Let's get right to it. Almost six years ago, the late and great Scott Adams said Republicans will be hunted. That was prescient. Then the other day I saw a post from Elon Musk on X. In it he said"If they’re willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they will do if they gain political power"Indeed. We are in war. A declared war. A not-so-civil war. On April 22 Hakeem Jeffries declared war on Republicans: “We are in...

“But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” 1 John 2:11 ESV All over the world, it is accepted that murder is the greatest crime or sin that one person can do against another. But, in fact, hatred is the worst crime because murder is born out of hatred. It is never the other way around. “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death....

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 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...

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. As commenters...

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been funded by big name businesses and philanthropists including George Soros, JPMorgan, ex-Apple CEO Tim Cook and George Clooney. The group — indicted Tuesday for allegedly funneling millions to the hate groups it says it is ideologically against — also holds over $786 million in assets, yet still solicits donations. In fact, it took in $106 million in donated cash 2024, according to its latest available financial disclosures, yet still ran “urgent” appeals for “emergency” cash. Over the years, donations have been made by big name donors, many of whom pledged to the...

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that a grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center for making fraudulent payments of millions of dollars to members of the Ku Klux Klan and other neo-Nazi organizations. One leader of the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Va., received roughly $270,000 over an eight-year period. Others had affiliations with the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, Aryan Nations, the Nationalist Socialist Party of American Nazis and the Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club. Several of the informants were also being paid while simultaneously being featured in SPLC publications — including on its...

Bruce Springsteen, 76 years young, last week kicked off his new tour with a now-old ritual: histrionically denouncing President Donald Trump — the one thing all right-thinking people can agree on, right? “We are now, to many, America the reckless, unpredictable, predatory rogue nation. That is this administration’s and this president’s legacy,” lectured The Boss. Yet the Baby Boomer’s bluster brings up a crucial question for the entire left, from establishment Democrats to the wokest socialists: After Trump, what? For now, the prez is their entire raison d’etre. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s every media appearance centers on painting Trump...

A graffiti message reading “Kill a Jew, go to heaven” was found over the weekend on a bike trail in New York City’s Riverside Park. The sprayed sentence was discovered on a large stone along the trail between 97th Street and 105th Street, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a major hub of the Jewish community. The Combat Antisemitism Movement, a global coalition of pro-Jewish groups, tweeted that it was “a direct public call for violence against Jews.” The nonprofit added, “Last month alone, 28 antisemitic incidents were reported in New York.” U.S.-based organization StopAntisemitism also responded to...

TThe Democrat party is the party of hate. They hate, in no particular order, white people, masculine men, law and order, Christians (especially those who enjoy a traditional Mass), personal responsibility, the “cisgendered,” the 2nd Amendment, merit-based hiring, punctuality, the physically fit, standardized exams, voting requiring photo ID, America, Donald Trump, and God. When President Trump invokes the Almighty, the donkeys squee and wet their knickers, lest their heads explode. A thinking person, which precludes most on the left, might ask, whom, then, do Democrats love? Well, the list is long, and again, in no particular order — except...

A former New York City resident who killed two people and wounded 14 others at a packed Austin, Texas, bar was possibly motivated by the US attacks on Iran, sources told The Post. The FBI is investigating the shooting as a possible ideologically motivated act of terrorism, the sources said. The killer, who is a US citizen from Senegal, had a Quran in his car and clothing described as Islamic garb when he opened fire on Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden near the University of Texas-Austin campus, according to sources familiar with the investigation. The gunman has a history of arrests...

One person was arrested after a drive-by shooting in South Portland, Monday morning. Portland Police officers first responded to a report of shots fired in the 3700 block of SE Van Water Street, near SE 36th Avenue and SE Johnson Creek Boulevard, around 11:20 a.m. According to investigators, the victim called 911, reporting that their car was hit by gunfire. The victim was not injured and was able to give police a description of the suspect's vehicle. Officers later found the suspect's vehicle in the parking lot of the 24 Hour Fitness located in the 4500 block of SE McLoughlin...

A 43-year-old Kansas man allegedly spent his Christmas Eve on a mission to kill someone and armed himself with a hammer before knocking on a door of a home with several cars in the driveway. When a woman holding her 1-month-old baby answered, the suspect — later identified as Jason Eastburn — pounced, cops say. He repeatedly hit her in the head with the hammer, requiring doctors to patch up the wound on her head with four staples, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit released on Monday.

In an age of rage, it is often difficult to stand out in the mob as so many pander to the perpetually irate. However, New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie has found a way to win the race to the bottom. In a posting on Bluesky, Bouie mocked the account of the addiction of the mother of Vice President J.D. Vance, saying that she should have sold her son for drugs. Bouie used Bluesky (the digital safe zone for the viewpoint intolerant on the left) to post one of the most reprehensible attacks on Vance. Bouie wrote that “this is...

Just a reminder that Reid Hoffman really did say in a public forum that he wished President Trump had been killed in the assassination attempt

A South Carolina woman who believed she was buying a puppy was ambushed by three brutes who fatally shot her, set her body on fire and left her to burn inside a car on the side of the road.Dana Marie Kinlaw, 40, was lured to a rural road in Effingham, South Carolina, on Jan. 22 when she was allegedly killed by 19-year-old Iryanna Jarissa Fleming and 31-year-old Daquinn Taheen Thomas and Nikko Christopher Carraway, according to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office. Officials believe Kinlaw’s death was part of a retaliation murder for a recent killing in neighboring Darlington County, WBMF...

Non-crime hate incidents should be scrapped and replaced with a "common sense" system, police leaders are set to recommend. The scheme would mean only the most serious incidents are recorded as anti-social behaviour. The recommendation is part of a review by leaders at the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) and College of Policing, which is set to be published next month and given to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. Non-crime hate incidents are perceived to be motivated by hostility or prejudice towards certain characteristics, such as race or gender, but do not meet the threshold of a criminal offence. Rather than...

What's new: Jury selection was set to begin on Monday morning for 22-year-old Darriynn Brown's capital murder trial for the death of 4-year-old Cash Gernon.

A Taliban policeman looks on as a crowd heads toward a stadium to attend the public execution carried out by Taliban authorities. The man executed had shot to death 13 members of the boy's family, including nine children (Image: AP) The Taliban in Afghanistan have conducted another large-scale public execution before a stadium filled with tens of thousands of spectators, but this time they compelled a 13 year old boy to execute the man accused of murdering more than a dozen of his relatives. The public killing took place at a stadium in the eastern city of Khost on Tuesday,...
