Who Are The Prosecutors Going After SPLC?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Federal attorneys prosecuting the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for allegedly funding far-right hate groups through wire fraud may not have handled a case like this before, but their past work could prove surprisingly useful.

The April 21 indictment, issued by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division, is signed by Acting United States Attorney Kevin P. Davidson and Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell T. Duraski.

Davidson became acting U.S. attorney in August 2024 after serving as first assistant, and as the office’s criminal chief, where he supervised investigations and prosecutions across the district, a Department of Justice (DOJ) spokesperson told the Daily Caller.

An Alabama native, Davidson has served as an assistant U.S. attorney since 2012, with much of his work focused on violent and drug crimes. He previously spent eight years as a deputy district attorney in Montgomery County after earning his law degree from the University of Alabama School of Law, the spokesperson said.

He also served as lead attorney for the Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF).

While organized crime and drug trafficking may seem unrelated to the SPLC, the Drug Enforcement Administration notes that OCDETF targets “financial networks of drug trafficking and money laundering organizations.” Though the headline allegation involves SPLC’s alleged funding of Ku Klux Klan leaders, neo-Nazis, and an Aryan motorcycle gang, the indictment itself centers on alleged financial misconduct.

The SPLC faces 11 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and providing false statements to a federally insured bank, according to a DOJ press statement.

“Donors gave their money believing they were supporting the fight against violent extremism,” said  Davidson. “As alleged, the SPLC instead diverted a portion of those funds to benefit individuals and groups they claimed to oppose. That kind of deception undermines public trust and social cohesion.”

During his tenure, Davidson has overseen takedowns of multiple drug trafficking groups, including in 2025, when the DEA credited him with securing sentencing for the final member of a 14-person conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin.

Duraski, a career prosecutor, gained national attention after working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to secure a plea deal resulting in a 108-month prison sentence for a man who detonated a shrapnel-filled explosive outside the Alabama attorney general’s office in 2024, according to a DOJ statement.

“Working together, investigators and analysts were able to identify Calvert as a suspect and ensure he was held accountable for his attempt to intimidate public officials and create chaos,” Davidson said at the time.

The man allegedly placed stickers reading “Support your local Antifa” before detonating the device, though he later said he had no affiliation with Antifa — a decentralized movement of radical leftists who claim to fight fascism, at times violently.

While the SPLC is not charged with any violent crime, the case suggests Duraski has experience with left-wing extremism and its motivations.

In 2020, the SPLC called President Donald Trump’s designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization “dangerous,” while acknowledging that “individuals loosely affiliated with antifa are typically involved in skirmishes and property crimes at demonstrations across the country.”

Both prosecutors are deeply familiar with the Montgomery legal landscape, where the SPLC is headquartered — a factor that could aid the DOJ in navigating local banking records and grand jury procedures.

The case is being handled by Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Emily C. Marks, according to The New York Times.

In February, Marks oversaw a class-action lawsuit involving the SPLC and sided with the group, approving a settlement related to Alabama’s psychiatric care for children.

The SPLC’s legal team includes defense attorney Abbe Lowell, working with Kropf Moseley Schmitt PLLC and Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, according to Bloomberg Law.

Lowell has represented Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Hunter Biden, and former Democrat New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez. He launched his own firm in 2025 aimed at pushing back against the Trump administration, CBS News reported.

The SPLC’s defense is now taking shape. Tuesday, the law center demanded transcripts of the grand jury proceedings, arguing prosecutors may have used false statements to initiate the indictment. It also called on Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche to retract comments made on Fox News suggesting there is no evidence the SPLC shared informant tips about planned violent attacks with authorities.

The Southern Poverty Law Center did not respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment.

Receipts of Deceit: Indictment Exposes Corrupt Motives of Southern Poverty Lie Center

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

There’s more than one layer to the 11-count indictment for wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering that a federal grand jury issued Tuesday against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Underneath the political drama lies a simpler, more biblical interpretation to unearth. In essence, the SPLC lies, and it has used its lies to enrich itself at the expense of both innocent third parties and the country as a whole.

Political thespians will choose to read the situation in terms of political drama alone. Here is yet another episode in the second Trump administration’s campaign of political retribution. The twist is, this time the Trump administration’s target is an unsympathetic adversary who richly deserves every spoonful of calumny heaped upon it. Let the spigots’ unsolicited opinions spew forth!

If we only manage to hold our heads above the torrent of outrage sloshing odorously through the airwaves, then we shall be so much filthier but none the wiser. Let us then salvage what facts we can and extricate them from the flood of political opinion, that we may better examine them in the purer light of God’s Word.

“The story here is that the SPLC, which bills itself as an organization aimed at rooting out racism, was actually secretly bankrolling major figures in racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, the National Socialist (i.e., Nazi) Party of America, and a member of the leadership group that planned the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va.,” National Review’s Dan McLaughlin summarized concisely.

“The indictment details just shy of $2 million in transfers to those figures over the past twelve years,” McLaughlin added. “Given the small and marginal nature of these groups, the obvious conclusion is that the SPLC found that demand for racism outstripped the supply, so it had to spread cash around to keep talking up these fringe groups.” Furthermore, “this wasn’t just a matter of paying the small fish in these groups to rat out the big ones. The SPLC was allegedly bankrolling the leaders.”

Thus, while the SPLC was “holding itself out to be promoting justice,” said Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh on “This Week on Capitol Hill,” “what they were really doing was deceiving the American people, deceiving their donors, and deceiving financial institutions, all to promote … fake racism throughout the country.”

Two facts offer the clearest evidence that the SPLC realized what they were doing was wrong. First, they funneled payments to their “informants” through shell corporations that existed only on paper. Second, when caught, SPLC’s Interim President and CEO Brian Fair announced, “We no longer work with paid informants.”

Of course, no conservative with previous experience of the SPLC’s malevolence was surprised by the revelation that an organization that habitually smears mainstream conservative organizations as hate groups is willing to lie.

Where the indictment broke new ground was in exposing the unseen double-face of the SPLC — with one half condemning “hate” while the other half bankrolled it. “For years, the SPLC has used its platform to label and target organizations with whom it disagrees, often blurring the line between legitimate concern and ideological attack,” exclaimed Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. “That kind of reckless characterization doesn’t just damage reputations, it has put lives at risk.” In 2012, a gunman inspired by the SPLC “hate map” opened fire at FRC headquarters in Washington, D.C., an incident for which the SPLC has never apologized nor been held accountable.

Thus, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) spoke for most when she said on “Washington Watch,” “I have known for a long time that SPLC was a fraud, but I never had the understanding that they were the ones that were creating their own straw men so that they could knock them down.”

Those are the facts. Now, before we catch cholera, let us haul them out of the political muck to assess these actions in the clarifying light of God’s Word.

The question that presents itself to our minds most forcefully is: why would anyone do something like this? The Bible’s book of wisdom offers an answer: “Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart” (Proverbs 26:24). However, this only leads to further questions. How is hatred connected to deceit? And, if the SPLC harbored hatred, who was the object?

Perkins attempted to answer those questions by describing how the SPLC has changed from being a civil rights organization targeting racists to a left-wing organization targeting conservatives. “They were creating these groups and propping them up so that they could raise more money — but there seems to be more to that,” Perkins suggested. “They were raising these groups up, elevating them, making the threat look great, and then taking conservative organizations and putting them alongside them. And then the corporate America actually took this labeling that the Southern Poverty Law Center had and began to deplatform, ‘cancel,’ other conservative organizations.”

Thus, by presenting a false front as an “anti-hate” group, the SPLC managed to harmfully smear the groups it hated — anyone who dared to stand for conservative principles. The irony is too apparent to miss: the organization that popularized the “hate” label also harbored what they condemned.

What were the consequences of the SPLC’s lies? Once again, Proverbs provides an answer, “deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil” (Proverbs 12:20). It’s hard to describe what the SPLC did as anything other than “devising evil.” Even the SPLC publicly condemned the fringe extremist organizations whose leaders they secretly bankrolled.

This duplicitous behavior was “predatory,” said Singh. “They were actually propping all this up by paying these sources to go out and incite racial acts, all while holding themselves out to be the arbiter of who is right and wrong in the public speech space.”

For the SPLC to hold itself out as a moral arbiter, despite the corruption it knew within, suggests that it suffered from delusions of invincibility, like the wicked oppressor in Psalm 10. “As for all his foes, he puffs at them. He says in his heart, ‘I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.’ His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity” (Psalm 10:5-7).

From within this delusion of invincibility, the SPLC plotted to fraudulently destroy its political opponents. “Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit” (Psalm 52:2).

Sadly, the SPLC’s deceitful schemes caused harm not only to its political opponents but to the nation as a whole. “They have done such lasting and horrific damage to race relations,” Hageman exclaimed. “They have torn us asunder with false allegations of racism and hatred and danger.”

It’s too early to say what might result from the federal indictment — what new evidence may emerge, what charges may be added or dropped. But it is clear that the SPLC’s public credibility has suffered a major blow from the exposure of its cynical fundraising ploys.

Such eventual accountability for the SPLC tastes like yet another proverb, “Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel” (Proverbs 20:17). The reason is that, ultimately, the true arbiter of right and wrong, truth and falsehood holds court not in any human jurisdiction but in heaven. To the ultimate Judge, David prayed, “You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man” (Psalm 5:6).

However, not everyone has learned the same lessons from the SPLC’s exposure. Those who prefer to float in the bilge water of politics never gain the perspective necessary to compare its practice to biblical wisdom. As a result, “I’m seeing organizations out there still defending this group,” said Hageman, when “everybody should be running from SPLC right now.”

As just one media example, USA Today claimed that the SPLC was only employing informants in “a tactic federal agencies have used for decades.” But “it wasn’t somebody who was an informant [in an extremist group]; it was people leading it,” Perkins countered. “Many of these organizations have been dead, and [the SPLC] resurrected them with their funds.”

For such indefensible behavior, the SPLC now must publicly answer.

This moment provides relief for those who found themselves innocent targets of the SPLC’s malicious hate. These unfairly smeared groups can now declare, “Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause. For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they devise words of deceit” (Psalm 35:19-20).

Perhaps human justice will hold the SPLC accountable. In any event, God certainly will.

The SPLC Was Paying the Ku Klux Klan, DOJ Indictment Claims

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

The Southern Poverty Law Center has raised money for decades claiming to dismantle white supremacy, but it funneled millions of dollars to white nationalist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, according to a federal indictment handed down Tuesday.

The SPLC claims it was funding informants inside the extremist groups.

While the SPLC “purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a press conference that “the SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose.”

Blanche highlighted one example from the indictment, where the SPLC paid a member of the leadership group that planned the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center themselves advertise to raise money to dismantle violent extremist groups … however, the SPLC used the money they raised from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of these very groups,” FBI Director Kash Patel explained at the press conference.

The indictment charges the SPLC with six counts of wire fraud, aiming to “obtain money via donations through materially false representations and omissions about what the donated funds would be used for.” It charges the SPLC with four counts of false statements to a federally insured bank by creating accounts for fictitious entities to funnel the money. Finally, it charges the SPLC with one count of conspiracy to commit concealment of money laundering.

The Justice Department’s indictment claims that the SPLC directed more than $1 million to an affiliate of the National Alliance; more than $300,000 to an affiliate of the Aryan Nations; more than $270,000 to a member of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017; more than $140,000 to the former chairman of the National Alliance; more than $73,000 to former Ku Klux Klan members; and more than $19,000 to the president of American Front.

Blanche said the federal investigation began years ago, and the Biden administration shut it down. The Daily Signal previously reported that members of the Biden administration worked closely with the SPLC.

Patel said the FBI’s “investigation revealed that funds were used to facilitate the commission of further state and federal offenses, totaling over $3 million.”

He said the SPLC allegedly engaged in a “widespread, decade-long multimillion-dollar fraud” and proceeded to “hide their criminal activity from our financial banking network.”

A reporter noted that the FBI had previously worked with the SPLC, and asked whether the SPLC revealed to law enforcement that it was funding these entities.

Patel said he did not find it surprising that the SPLC “never told anybody that they were paying off the Ku Klux Klan.”

Bryan Fair, interim president and CEO of the SPLC, revealed the federal investigation Tuesday morning, and admitted that the SPLC had paid informants in white nationalist groups.

Fair added that the use of paid informants was “necessary” because of threats the SPLC faced.

Fair noted that in 1983, members of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan firebombed the SPLC’s offices, and he claimed staff have faced “countless credible threats” since.

“For decades, we engaged in unprecedented litigation to dismantle the Klan and other hate groups,” he said.

“In light of that work, we sought to protect the safety of our staff and the public. We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI. We did not, however, share our use of informants broadly with anyone, to protect the identity and safety of the informants and their families.”

The SPLC built its reputation by suing Ku Klux Klan groups into bankruptcy. Now, the group publishes a “hate map” including mainstream conservative and Christian groups alongside Klan chapters.

The SPLC did not immediately respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.

Democrats’ Virginia Gerrymander: Deception, Disenfranchisement!

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Virginia voters head to the polls on April 21 to decide the future of fair elections in the Commonwealth. On the surface, the Democratic-backed constitutional amendment sounds reasonable: it claims to “restore fairness” to congressional map-drawing. In reality, it is one of the most brazen partisan power grabs in modern American politics — a deliberate attempt to rig the system, silence nearly half the electorate, and shred the independent redistricting process voters approved just six years ago. The scheme is straightforward in its cynicism.

Virginia’s current congressional map, drawn by the independent bipartisan commission created in 2020, produces a 6-5 Democratic-Republican split that roughly mirrors the state’s evenly divided electorate. Democrats now want to scrap that map and replace it with one that would deliver a grotesque 10-1 Democratic Party advantage. Four Republican seats would be effectively erased. This isn’t “fairness.” It’s the elimination of competitive districts in a state where Republicans and independents routinely cast close to half the votes.

The dishonesty begins with the ballot language itself. The question carefully avoids any mention of the actual map voters are being asked to endorse. It is a textbook push poll, written to elicit a predetermined “Yes” without revealing the radical anti-democratic outcome. Early voting is already underway, yet local registrars were instructed not to post pictures of the proposed map. Virginia Democrats, including Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who once falsely cultivated a moderate image and explicitly said that gerrymandering was damaging to our democracy, now champion the effort, pretending that they are protecting democracy.

What makes this especially galling is the hypocrisy. For years, national Democrats and their media allies have portrayed Republicans as the uniquely evil practitioners of gerrymandering. They lecture the country that only the GOP draws “outrageous” maps. Yet the very states they control tell a different story — one of systematic, decades-long exclusion of Republican voters.

Consider the Northeast alone. Massachusetts is home to roughly 35% Republican voters, yet it sends zero Republicans to Congress. Connecticut’s electorate is 42% Republican, with zero seats. Maine (46% Republican), New Hampshire (46%), Rhode Island (42%), and Vermont (32%) all deliver the same result: zero Republican representation. Hawaii (38 % Republican) and Delaware (42% Republican) follow the identical pattern. These are not flukes of geography or turnout.

They are the predictable outcomes of aggressive Democratic map-drawing that packs Republican voters into as few districts as possible or spreads them so thinly they cannot win anywhere. The same story repeats in other states. California, Oregon, Washington, Maryland, New York, and Illinois have all used sophisticated gerrymandering techniques to maximize Democratic seats far beyond what raw vote totals would justify.

Independent analysts consistently rank several of these maps among the most partisan in the nation. Yet when Democrats propose turning Virginia — a genuine swing state — into a 10-1 farce, they suddenly rediscover the language of “fairness.” The mask slipped completely when prominent Democrats stopped pretending. Rep. Donald Beyer admitted the plan “seems unfair in Virginia” but defended it anyway because it serves the national Democratic goal “to stop Donald Trump.”

State Sen. Louise Lucas, D-Dist.18, the plan’s chief architect, was even more direct. Responding to a fellow Democrat who called the scheme “extremely anti-democratic,” she declared that anyone opposing it “doesn’t share our values as Democrats. In other words, the issue was never fairness. It was grabbing political power.

This episode reveals something deeper and more troubling about today’s progressive politics: a willingness to abandon democratic norms the moment they become inconvenient. The 2020 redistricting reform passed with overwhelming bipartisan support precisely because Virginians were tired of politicians choosing their voters instead of the other way around. Democrats now propose suspending that reform for the 2026 midterms, ramming through their gerrymander, and then — they solemnly promise — restoring the independent commission afterward. The idea that newly elected Democrats would voluntarily vote themselves out of safe congressional seats is laughable on its face.

Power seized through procedural chicanery is almost never relinquished. And since Abigail Spanberger lied to Virginians about her not supporting a gerrymandering ploy, we should not believe their claims that this gerrymandering plan is only temporary. A recent Roanoke College poll shows Virginians are not fooled: 62% want to keep the bipartisan commission process. That public skepticism is heartening, but it must translate into action.

The left’s enthusiastic support for this Virginia scheme, despite its obvious hypocrisy and despite the mountain of evidence that one-party Democratic monopolies already exist across much of the country, exposes their true priorities. Principles are flexible; power is not. Moral lectures about democracy are reserved exclusively for Republicans. When Democrats hold the map-drawing pen, different rules apply. Virginia has long prided itself on political maturity and competitive districts that force candidates to appeal beyond their base. Competitive elections produce better policy and more accountable government.

Handing one party a 10-1 lock disenfranchises roughly half the state’s voters, rendering their ballots structurally meaningless in congressional races. It turns representative democracy into a managed and fake democracy — the very outcome the 2020 reform was designed to prevent. On April 21, Virginians have a chance to send a clear message that transcends party labels. Reject the lies. Reject the power grab. Reject the cynical attempt to turn Virginia into just another one-party fiefdom. Vote no on the redistricting amendment and preserve the independent process that puts voters — not politicians — in charge.

The integrity of our elections and the principle of equal representation are worth defending. Virginia’s voters have always risen to that challenge. This April 21 should be no different.

California Gubernatorial Democrat Candidate Tom Steyer Reveals Plans to Jail ICE Agents

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Democrats have declared war on America.

How can any American, in their right mind, vote for this treasonous party?

California Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Steyer Reveals Plans to Jail ICE Agents

With Swalwell out of the race, Steyer is now the leading Democrat.

Of course, the California Teacher’s Union endorses Steyer for Governor.

In the latest poll from Emerson, Steyer is three points behind the leader, Republican Steve Hilton. Steyer is hard left—and is showing no signs of pivoting to the center. Fox 40: As Democratic candidates make moves to solidify their support ahead of the gubernatorial primary, Tom Steyer released a new plan that would take drastic steps to combat ICE — including jailing agents.

The progressive billionaire candidate published a blog post Tuesday outlining his plan to push back against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He said it’s not enough for Democrats to “simply engage in rhetoric” and claim to stand against President Donald Trump’s administration. Steyer compared his plan to the way law enforcement fought the mob and called the federal agency a “violent extremist group.”

“California must build a system that fights fire with fire,” he said. “To stop this authoritarian takeover, we must counter ICE head-on, and go after both their agents on the streets and their leadership within the Department of Homeland Security”.

California Gov. Candidate Tom Steyer Pledges to Open Borders and Arrest ICE Agents

By: Warner Todd Huston, Breitbart, April 15, 2026:

Tom Steyer, the now top polling Democrat for California governor, has unveiled his extremely radical, open-door, anti-ICE immigration platform as he continues his run for the state’s top office.

The hedge fund billionaire, who was polling poorly until the media targeted Eric Swalwell for a sacrifice to revitalize the Democratic field for the governor’s race, released his immigration pledges on Tuesday with a five-point plan that is far more left-wing and radical than the current governor’s, who himself is a left-wing radical on immigration.

The 68-year-old founder of Farallon Capital Management turned radical environmentalist posted his intentions to nullify all federal immigration laws, jail federal immigration law enforcement officers, and return deported individuals back to the U.S.

Steyer’s immigration plan includes the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in California and would attempt to jail ICE agents and their superiors whom Steyer thinks are breaking his rules.

He also thinks he has the power as a governor to go to foreign countries, gather up people who have been deported, and bring them back to the U.S.A.

The billionaire went on to pledge to ignore any U.S. Supreme Court rulings that he does not like.

Steyer claimed, “Each point builds on one another to create a comprehensive strategy that gives the State of California the power it needs to take on ICE and win.”

The candidate’s first bullet point made the claim that ICE uses “racial profiling” to arrest illegal migrants and to target them for deportation. This, he claims, is against California statutes that “outlaws any law enforcement agency from profiling anyone based on their race.” He pledged to enforce these statutes against federal immigration officers.

With his second policy, he pledged to “give the state Attorney General the authority to hold ICE’s leadership accountable for violence.”

“My plan will pursue supervisory liability. This body of law empowers the California justice system to criminally prosecute and imprison not just the ICE agents who are committing these crimes, but the leadership directing them to do so,” he claimed, not explaining how any state law could supersede federal authority.

His third policy pledge is to set up a special branch of the state attorney general’s office to pursue “evidence” that will lead to the prosecution of federal immigration officers, again without addressing federal supremacy issues.

Next he revealed he thinks a state governor can reverse federal deportation rulings and said he’d use state money to send representatives to foreign countries then pay to fly deported illegals back into California, saying, “I will bring those detained and kidnapped by ICE back home,” and says he will “assist and help those who have been imprisoned without due process.”

Finally, he pledged to use more state tax dollars to train illegals to “know their rights” so they can fight against being held accountable for breaking U.S. immigration laws, backed by California tax dollars in the process.

“I will launch a massive statewide ‘Know Your Rights’ public education and public awareness campaign,” Steyer pledged. “Every Californian, regardless of their immigration status, should know their constitutional and legal rights if you are stopped, detained, or questioned by ICE agents, if you are assembled to protest against ICE, if you are filming ICE agent activities, or if you witness unlawful and illegal actions perpetrated by ICE agents.”

Steyer claimed there is “solid legal foundation for California to expand these protections and prosecute ICE agents for breaking the law.” He added, “California should take matters into our own hands. California can extend these legal protections to its residents, despite the federal government’s failure.”

He then insisted, “Extending these protections is a major step forward. It targets the linchpin that holds together the entire ICE machine: their ability to weaponize their authority as federal agents to engage in racial profiling and racial violence.”

“Trump has turned ICE into a criminal enterprise, so let’s treat it as such,” he exclaimed. “As governor, I’ll go after ICE the way Eliot Ness and Joe Friday went after the Mob: bring them to justice by using their most basic crimes against them. For the Mob it was racketeering; for ICE it’s racial discrimination.”

Steyer concluded, writing, “On my watch, California will protect the most vulnerable and bring to justice those who break the law and brutalize our neighbors. We’ll let ICE know: in California, you obey our laws and respect our residents, or you go to jail.”

Finally, Steyer defended his announcement after Tesla funder Elon Musk took to X to write an astonished “Wow” over the radical policy suggestions.

“’Wow’ is right. ICE is a criminal organization. As governor, I’ll prosecute them like one,” the extremist Democrat posted.

All’s Fair in Love and War, but Not for the Jews

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

“My conception was at that time, if this thing is successful, we will bring this war to a close. I just couldn’t see how any nation could stand up to the power of the atom as portrayed to me at that particular time. I think in the intervening years, that I have arrived at the same conclusion because by ending the war, we would save lives. That was my idea. Save lives, not destroy them. And over the years, I have gotten numerous letters from foreign nationals, as well as Americans, who had been ready to make an invasion with the same basic statement: what you did probably saved my life.” — Major General Paul Tibbets

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who prepared the attack against America, but viewed it as a potential disaster.” — Yamamoto, who studied at Harvard and lived in the US, knew the immense industrial power and character of America and felt that a surprise attack that enraged the public would lead to Japan’s defeat.

:Israel has done more to prevent civilian casualties in war than any military in history… [they are] the gold standard.” — John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point.

“It is not the Israeli Defense Force’s strategy to kill [innocent people].”

Admiral Yamamoto expressed a sense of dishonor regarding the surprise nature of the Pearl Harbor attack in a letter to the editor of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper about a month after it took place: “A military man can scarcely pride himself on having ‘smitten a sleeping enemy’; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten.”

Historians will continue to argue whether it was necessary to drop the bombs on Japan to end the war.  There were plenty of scientists and government officials, including Dwight Eisenhower, who disagreed with the military actions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  A number of analysts believe that Japan was ready to surrender and the bombs would only kill civilian noncombatants.

After WWII, civilian casualties have been looked upon as violations of international humanitarian law, a byproduct of fighting in densely populated areas, and “collateral damage” as defined by military officials, while causing significant international concern and debate over proportionality.  The United Nations and human rights organizations are always raising concerns over civilian deaths.

During the American Civil War, William Tecumseh Sherman slaughtered over 80,000 noncombatants, elderly men, and women with children, both black and white.  Sherman’s “March to the Sea” (1864) was authorized by Union General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant, with the knowledge and backing of President Abraham Lincoln. Complete destruction was the goal.  War crimes were never filed.

The March to the Sea and the campaign in the Carolinas targeted civilian morale and economic resources which some argued crossed into terrorism.  Despite the fact there was no mass rape, there were 80,000 poor and bereaved who were unnecessarily slaughtered.  It wasn’t just terrorism, it was genocide.

The Atomic Bombs

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen for the atomic bombings in August of 1945 because they were large, strategically important urban areas with significant military and industrial facilities that had not been heavily damaged by previous, conventional firebombing.  The bombs would kill noncombatants.

Colonel Tibbets was the pilot of the Enola Gay, named after his mother, who dropped the atomic bomb, “Little Boy” on Hiroshima.  I was fortunate to speak with him twice, once in person and later via email.  In the 1970s, I was working part time evenings in a Holiday Inn in Dayton, Ohio after working my full-time day job.  Major General Tibbets was in Dayton to give a speech. Before his contact arrived, I served him a beer and we had time to chat.  Awe struck at this famous WWII pilot; I couldn’t help but thank him for his service and then ask him questions. He was more than willing to speak to me.

We discussed the atomic bombs which resulted in an estimated 150,000 to 246,000 total deaths by the end of that year, with most victims being civilians.  What the General told me boiled down to one salient point. He explained that the civilians of Japan supported the war and were helping their nation and the soldiers. Women and school-aged children were drafted into factories, producing weapons, ammunition, aircraft parts, and uniforms.  Noncombatants were engaged in the production of poisonous gases, including mustard, suffocating, and tear gas.  Like America, they had scrap drives and gardens.  They were not all innocent bystanders.irHi

Forty-four years later, in 1989, the General was interviewed on his reflections of Hiroshima by Voices of the Manhattan Project. The riveting interview may be viewed here.

Colonel Tibbets consistently defended the atomic bombings as a necessary act to end WWII and save lives, stating he never lost sleep or felt regret over the decision. He viewed it strictly as a military mission to avoid a ground invasion of Japan, often citing a lack of hesitation.  He said, “My personal feeling is that more people, more lives were saved as a direct result of using the atomic bomb, than if he had to continue the war for another six months.”

At home, Americans were still horrified by the Battle of Iwo Jima. Marines had invaded in February of 1945 and the fighting lasted through March.  The atrocities on that volcanic island still weighed heavily in the hearts and minds of Americans when the atomic bombs were dropped in August of 1945.

A few years before he died, I emailed General Tibbets and he was still a staunch supporter of what was done to stop the war and save lives.  What a pleasure to have spoken to that brave soldier.

The American War Effort

American civilians played a massive role in the World War II effort by mobilizing the home front through intensive production, conservation, and financial support.  Remember Rosie the Riveter?  Six million women entered the American workforce.  Norman Rockwell’s famous “Rosie” was on the cover of the May, 1943 Saturday Evening Post.

Americans suffered shortages and rationing, some of it caused by “Soviet agent” Harry Hopkins who was in charge of the Lend-Lease program. FDR sold the Act to the American public as aid to Great Britain, but in reality Lend Lease aid to the Soviet Union was a priority that superseded all other allies’ military needs, including our own.

“American aid to the Soviet Union included weapons, ammunition, tanks, oil, fighter aircraft, trucks and jeeps, and materials for the making of the atomic bomb including uranium. (Sound familiar?) In addition, lavish personal items and great quantities of food, including 200 million pounds of butter, were sent while at the same time America had strict rationing of goods.  Our patents, including military blueprints also reached the Soviets in the hundreds of thousands.  It was indiscriminate aid to the Soviet Union.”  (American Betrayal Chapter 2, author Diana West)

Americans grew their own vegetables in “victory gardens” to reduce the demand so food could be shipped to soldiers.  There were scrap drives so that everything available could be used for the war effort, military equipment, hardware, or weapon systems.  Citizens purchased bonds to help with funds for the war.

My grandparents had a dairy farm and momma told me how they made butter to sell.  Grandma remembered when Clark Gable’s beloved wife Carol Lombard died in a plane crash returning from a war bond tour. Mom’s two brothers were both in the European Theatre.

Israel – October 7, 2023

Palestinian terrorists breached the border through 119 holes they created in the fence separating Israel from the Strip and 7,000 Gazans took part in the brutal attacks on Israel’s people.  Some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were murdered, thousands more wounded and 253 kidnapped to Gaza during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in southern Israel. During the assault, the terrorists committed acts of mass rape, necrophilia, beheadings, torture, mutilation, desecration of corpses and other atrocities.  They videoed many of their genocidal acts.

A legal analysis published online by Cambridge University Press on August 8, 2025 proved Hamas October 7th genocide.  The abstract states, “This article analyses the October 7th 2023 Hamas attack on Israel through the lens of the Genocide Convention, arguing that these actions constitute genocide under international law. Drawing on international case law, the analysis demonstrates how Hamas’ actions meet both the physical element and specific intent requirements for genocide, evidenced by its ideology, systematic policies and leadership statements.”

Five months into Israel’s war with Hamas, nearly three-quarters of Palestinians in Gaza, Judea and Samaria supported the Oct. 7 attack.  A whopping 93% percent of Palestinians believe that Hamas did not commit atrocities during its mass invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, and 72% supported the attack, according to polling conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR).  Despite seeing the videos, they still denied the savagery.

December of 2024 – a survey found that two-thirds of Palestinians wanted Hamas in the new government.  Marwan Barghouti, a convicted terrorist murderer, received the most support of all possible candidates for Palestinian Authority leader.

October 2025 – over half of Palestinians still said Hamas was right to launch the Oct. 7 massacre, the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

Nearly 75% of Palestinians supported what Hamas did on Oct. 7th, 2023, and went with them to torture and degrade. Yet, Israel is restricted and the world demands they don’t harm Gaza citizens, when those citizens are culpable for the evil that took place that day.  We will never forget those beautiful Bibas babies and their mother being slain by Gazan savages.

It was reported in March of 2024  almost half of U.S. Muslim adults (49%) say that Hamas had “valid” reasons to fight Israel, and 21% of that demographic said that Hamas’s terror attack on Oct. 7 was either “completely acceptable” (10%) or “somewhat acceptable” (11%).

An overwhelming majority (89%) of American Jews said that Israel was justified in going to war against Hamas, compared to 18% of U.S. Muslims. While 49% of Muslim Americans said that Hamas has valid reasons to attack Israel.

And what do you get when you massacre 1200 people and torture every person in sight?  International diplomatic recognition. Daniel Greenfield’s article, Rewarding the Oct. 7 massacres with a ‘Palestinian’ state clarified the world’s response to the violent actions of Hamas and the Palestinians. Greenfield wrote, “U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reportedly begun conducting a review of options for recognizing a “Palestinian” state after the war. The U.S. State Department has claimed that there are no policy changes, but that may be yet more diplomatic doubletalk.”

The Oct. 7 massacre was the worst pogrom perpetrated against Jews since the Shoah, but the young Palestinians prefer to call it a “resistance operation.” They aim to “honor the fighters,” terrorists who kidnapped, murdered, mutilated, raped and even filmed the terror in some cases.  Babies were torn from their mother’s arms and put in hot ovens while the father was slain and the mother was raped.  Many of the women were so brutalized by rape that their pelvises were broken.

Remember the Gaza youngster who called his mother and excitedly told her he had killed 10 Jews that day?  The people of Gaza were intimately involved in the October 7th genocide.

General Tibbets was right. The world is wrong.

Israel Defense Force

The October 7 attack triggered an Israeli ground invasion combined with an aerial bombing campaign.  The IDF never intentionally target civilians.  The restraint of the world’s most moral army is beyond incredible.  They have never had a strategy to kill innocent people.  The IDF operates to “mitigate civilian harm” while terrorists hide within civilian areas. This includes Israel’s use of “advanced technology to increase the accuracy of their munitions.”  It is why John Spencer has called the IDF’s measures the “gold standard” for urban warfare.

The IDF uses a warning system of non-destructive munitions called “roof knocking” and phone calls to residents before any strikes occur.  They drop leaflets and publish online maps to warn civilians to move away from Hamas targets for their own safety.  They have even aborted operations when civilian casualty risks were deemed too high.

Lies, Lies and More Damned Lies

In April of 2025, Lt. Colonel Maurice Hirsch wrote, “Lies, damn lies and ‘UN-washed’ Hamas statistics.”  Finally, someone targeted the truth of the lies of Hamas, the Gazans, Al Jazeera and the United Nations.  Colonel Hirsch is a leading expert on Palestinian incitement and legal strategies.  The statistics echoed throughout the world of the civilian casualties in Gaza.  They came from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA).  And just where do those stats originate?  From “MoH Gaza”—the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.

There is a disclaimer on the UN OCHA website.  It states, “Figures that are yet-to-be verified by the UN are attributed to their source. Casualty numbers have been provided by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Israeli authorities. The fatality breakdowns currently cited are those that the MoH in Gaza has fully identified as of 22 March 2025 out of the higher number of casualties they report.”

Yeah, sure…so OCHA’s figures are quoting Hamas…so much for truth.

And another thing involved in the Palestinian lies…the Chinese Communist Party is deeply entangled in promoting and influencing the U.S. pro-Palestinian activism.  Not unusual for communists.  They’ve always been about divide and conquer.

Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. businessman based in Shanghai, is the man who built a wide-reaching network that funds activist groups with anti-U.S. and anti-Israel agendas via his key organizations.  They have facilitated the “Shut It Down for Palestine” (SID4P) campaign, which launched in the wake of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack.

Conclusion

Joan Swirsky wrote an article last year entitled “Let’s Talk About Proportionality.”

It is a perfect parallel to this article.

She writes:

War has everything to do with winning!

You attack me…I fight back.  Not to deflect your attack.  Not to intimidate you.  Not to indulge in a body count to make sure it’s “fair” or “equal” or not “humiliating.

It’s to destroy you and to make sure that you never, ever, ever come after me again with the intention of annihilating me and my family and my country.

What is justifiable in war for every other country is never acceptable for Israel.

The entire world becomes enraged when Israel defends herself from barbaric savages.

Lies catch fire and the flames spread like wildfire.

The world demands, yes demands, far more from Israel than any other country.

Where is the proportionality?  There is none when it comes to the Jewish people.

All’s Fair in Love and War, but not for the Jews!

Israel will win, despite the rest of the world.

Bombshell: Gabbard Unleashes Docs Showing Intelligence Plot to Frame Trump

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Intelligence Community ‘manufactured a conspiracy’ leading to impeachment of Trump.

This is treason.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Releases Documents Revealing Intelligence Community Efforts to ‘Manufacture a conspiracy’ Leading to Impeachment of Trump.

Gabbard dropped documents that show the intelligence community helped construct a narrative that led to the 2019 impeachment of President Trump. According to the documents, the whistleblower at the center of the case—identified as Eric Ciaramella, acknowledged political bias, lacked firsthand knowledge, and provided misleading information, while key details were allegedly withheld from Congress. The report further asserts that the intelligence community inspector general relied on limited, secondhand sources and that political actors used this narrative to drive impeachment proceedings

Director Of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Has Declassified Memos Exposing the 2019 Trump Impeachment Scam

The documents expose the so-called “whistleblower” who launched the entire Ukraine hoax: Eric Ciaramella.

  • He was a registered Democrat who worked closely with Joe Biden on Ukraine
  • Admitted he had zero direct knowledge of Trump’s call perfect phone call with Zelensky
  • Literally apologized to investigators for misleading the probe
  • Had “potential for bias”

This was all kept secret during the Democrat witch hunt, in which they treated his allegations against Trump as the undisputed truth.

This wasn’t a “whistleblower.”

This was a partisan hit job from day one.

Thank you, DNIGabbard, for finally shedding light on the truth. (Benny Johnson)

CIA Director John Ratcliffe: “Adam Schiff covertly conspired with the fake whistleblower Eric Ciaramella in an attempt to overthrow the sitting President.” (2025)

The Inspector General confirmed it. Tulsi declassified the memos TODAY.

From the Office Director of National Intelligence: Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases never-before-seen documents exposing a coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community (IC), including a former Inspector General (IG), to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019…. “Deep state actors within the Intelligence Community concocted a false narrative that was used by Congress to usurp the will of the American people and impeach the duly-elected President of the United States,” said DNI Gabbard (DNI).

Just the News: Gabbard’s office said [former intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson] “relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call” (Just the News).

Gabbard says intel community watchdog helped ‘manufacture a conspiracy’ in Ukraine impeachment saga

The revelations are related to the biases of a whistleblower in the House’s Trump impeachments proceedings.

By Jerry Dunleavy, Just The News, April 13, 2026:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Monday, following memos declassified, then released Sunday by Just the News, that a former U.S. intelligence community inspector general helped “manufacture a conspiracy” that led to the impeachment proceeding against President Donald Trump in 2019.

The office, led by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, also said a “coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community” was aided by now-former intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson when he lent credibility to and covered up the political biases of the author of a whistleblower complaint which sparked the impeachment against Trump during his first term.

The declassified memos written by investigators for Atkinson, who first handled the CIA analyst’s complaint, flagged the Ukraine whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, for having a “potential for bias,” elicited an apology from him for misleading the probe about his prior contact with staffers on the Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee, showed he criticized GOP congressmen, recounted that he asked to hide his complaint from Republicans on the intelligence committee, pointed to his close links to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s efforts in Ukraine, and more.

The 2019 also laid out multiple, self-admitted potential biases tied to Ciaramella’s Democratic registration, his work for Biden, his knowledge of corruption-related discussions on Ukraine, his view that he had been pushed out of the Trump NSC because of rightwing bloggers, and more – some of which were never made public until Sunday, and many of which were concealed from House investigators when the intelligence community inspector general appeared before them in October 2019.

“During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former IC IG Michael Atkinson did not follow standard IG procedures,” the ODNI said Monday.

Gabbard’s office said Atkinson “relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call.”

The self-admitted potential biases that the Ukraine impeachment whistleblower relayed to investigators for the intelligence community watchdog during the first Trump Administration were redacted and concealed from House investigators in 2019, newly-declassified and released transcripts show.

These long-secret transcripts were from a mid-September 2019 unclassified session and an early October 2019 classified session that were held to examine Atkinson’s role in the handling of an alleged whistleblower complaint. The missive was written by an anonymous intelligence officer — identified as Eric Ciaramella — in a saga which ultimately led to the first successful impeachment efforts by House Democrats against Trump in December 2019. Trump was acquitted by the Senate in early 2020.

“Despite a lack of any firsthand evidence, IC IG Atkinson proceeded to take actions to weaponize the Whistleblower process and exceed his statutory jurisdiction by ignoring Department of Justice guidance and relying on only second-hand testimony to ensure the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress, referred to the FBI, and leaked to the propaganda media,” the ODNI wrote Monday.

The spy office contended that “then-House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi used this false, second-hand narrative to create media intrigue and ultimately spark the basis to impeach President Trump in December of 2019.”

The whistleblower complaint centered on a July 25, 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  The Trump-Zelensky call was the day after Robert Mueller’s lackluster congressional testimony on the findings of his special counsel investigation.

During his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in October 2019, Atkinson left out a raft of details related to Ciaramella’s work with Biden, the whistleblower’s long-term focus on Ukraine, Ciaramella’s travel to Ukraine with Biden, and the whistleblower’s presence at discussions about the alleged corruption of Ukrainian prosecutors — all admitted by Ciaramella to watchdog investigators, all related to the allegations raised by Trump with Zelensky, and all redacted from what was provided to the House Intelligence Committee at the time in 2019. Atkinson redacted other potential biases too.

“Inspector General Atkinson failed to uphold his responsibility to the American people, putting political motivations over the truth,” Gabbard said Monday.

Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley Ripped for Calling Evictions an ‘Act of Violence’

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

A House Democrat is facing backlash for comparing evictions to violence, despite appearing to benefit from rental income tied to her husband’s growing real estate portfolio. “Eviction is an act of violence,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., said in a video posted to social media Thursday. “And we have to do everything to prevent it.”. “It degrades the health of communities. There is great stigma associated with it,” she continued. “Housing is a human right.”

Pressley, a progressive lawmaker and member of the “Squad,” has long advocated for rent cancellation legislation and pushed for an eviction moratorium during the COVID-19 pandemic. She introduced legislation Wednesday that would prevent evictions from being factored into credit reporting and fund legal assistance for those at risk of eviction.

Her sales pitch is falling flat with supporters of free markets and conservatives. “Great. When can I move into your house for free?” journalist Brad Polumbo wrote in response to Pressley’s statement. “The only violence in this statement is what Ayanna Pressley is doing to the meaning of words and the English language,” conservative commentator Steve Guest added.

A spokesperson for Pressley emphasized the congresswoman’s perspective on evictions in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Evictions are destabilizing life events with devastating consequences for the physical, financial, and mental wellbeing of those being evicted, who are disproportionately women and families with young children,” the spokesperson said. Pressley, a four-term lawmaker, has previously faced charges of hypocrisy for pushing rent-relief policies while appearing to profit from her husband’s status as a landlord.

The True Meaning of Easter is Not about Bunnies or Eggs

/in , , , , , , /by

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” — John 3:16 KJV

When I was stationed in Greece as the commander of a NATO nuclear weapons sight I learned the true meaning of Easter.

In Greece Easter is celebrated more than Chrismas by the Greek Orthodox Church. I was honored to attend an Easter celebration with Greek soldiers to honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

While sitting with these Greek soldiers, I understood the importance of Easter to them. The Greeks represent the birth of our Judeo Christian nation.

We must continue to be a Judeo Christian nation as this is truly the foundation of our Constitutional Republic.

If we lose our faith then we loose everthing.

I have had many come to Jesus moments in my life but one of the most impactful was sitting in a Greek Orthodox church in Drama, Greece in 1977.

Easter has noting to do with bunnies and eggs. Let is all not forget that!

The true meaning of Easter is the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, which Christians believe conquered sin and death.

This event is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, offering believers eternal life, hope, and peace through the promise of redemption and reconciliation with God.

While often associated with secular symbols like eggs and bunnies, the holiday’s core significance lies in the biblical narrative of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday and his victory over the grave on Resurrection Sunday.

Theologically, this marks the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah and establishes the foundation for the Christian belief in salvation and the new covenant between God and humanity.

  • Date: Easter is a moveable feast calculated based on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox.
  • Historical Context: The celebration dates back to the 2nd century and is closely linked to the Jewish festival of Passover.
  • Spiritual Impact: It represents a “new birth into a living hope” and serves as a reminder that Jesus’ love and sacrifice provide a path to everlasting life.

NYC Mayor Mamdani’s wife glorified terrorists in online posts, criticized US military: report

Resurfaced posts show Rama Duwaji reportedly praising terrorists, sparking a major political backlash for Mayor Zohran Mamdani

By Louis Casiano, Fox News, March 20, 2026 6:58pm EDT

Mamdani’s wife faces criticism for allegedly liking posts celebrating Oct 7 attack

‘My View with Lara Trump’ host Lara Trump discusses the controversy surrounding New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife allegedly liking social media posts celebrating the Oct. 7 attacks on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend.’

The wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reportedly celebrated terrorists in a series of social media posts as a teenager and young adult as scrutiny over her online history continues.

In September 2017, Rama Duwaji posted a photo on her Tumblr account of Leila Khaled, longtime active leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) who participated in two plane hijackings in 1969 and 1970.

“If it does good for my cause, I’ll be happy to accept death,” the caption said.

Khaled is the first woman to hijack an airplane and is revered by terrorists for her role in the crimes.

Many of her posts were made in her early 20s, the Washington Free Beacon reported, noting that Duwaji, now 28, spent her early childhood in New Jersey before moving with her family to Dubai.

In March 2015, when she was 17, Duwaji reposted a tweet on International Women’s Day praising the terrorist Shadia Abu Ghazaleh. An image in the post shows Ghazaleh, who participated in the bombing of an Israeli bus and led several other terrorist attacks.

The image showed her posing with a rifle. She was killed in 1968 when a bomb she was building in her home accidentally exploded. The device that killed her was allegedly intended to blow up a building in Tel Aviv.

Other posts include someone wearing keffiyeh clothing while sewing a flag.

“Photography: ‘A Palestinian demonstrator sews a Palestinian Liberation Organization flag before a protest during the first Intifada’, February, 1988,” the caption says.

Another showed a Bangladeshi postage stamp that said, “We salute the valiant freedom fighters of Palestine.”

A July 2015 post criticized the U.S. military presence abroad.

“*taps mic* American soldiers fighting in imperialist wars are not brave nor are they fighting for anyone’s freedom,” the post said. “They are mercilessly slaughtering 3rd world civilians and fighting to maintain American hegemony. That is all, thank you! *drops mic*”

Biden CIA Warned About ‘Traditional Motherhood’ and ‘Homemaking’ as White Extremist Tactics

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

When the Biden administration turned its attention to concerned parents in the fall of 2021, the Central Intelligence Agency drafted a memo warning about white racial extremists recruiting women for “traditional motherhood” and “homemaking.”

The CIA produced an intelligence assessment focused on “women advancing white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremist radicalization and recruitment” on Oct. 6, 2021.

The Trump administration released a redacted version of the document in February.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe noted that the document falls “short of the high standards of impartiality that CIA must uphold.”

“There is absolutely no room for bias in our work and when we identify instances where analytic rigor has been compromised, we have a responsibility to correct the record,” Ratcliffe added. He stated that actions such as releasing the document “underscore our commitment to transparency, accountability, and objective intelligence analysis.”

America First Legal drew attention to the document on X.

“We assess that female members have been emerging as key players of the transnational white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremist (REMVE) movement, taking on diverse roles to advance white REMVE goals—including the white REMVE view of traditional motherhood—and successfully participating in newer roles in propaganda and recruitment,” the assessment states.

The CIA warned about the “great replacement” theory, which it framed as extremist.

“White REMVEs and their sympathizers have claimed in online posts that it is essential for white families to have as many biological children as possible to counter the rising birthrates among non-white populations, white REMVEs allege that this rise is a conspiracy, which they have termed the ‘great replacement,’” the assessment states.

The CIA discussed a specific organization—the identity of which has been redacted—and noted that this group “has lauded motherhood and homemaking as women’s most important responsibility.”

“This is what happens when woke ideology replaces actual threat-based intelligence collection and analysis,” Gene Hamilton, president of America First Legal, told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday.“The Biden administration was obsessed with deconstructing our country,”

Hamilton added. “Motherhood was suspect. Homemaking was suspect. Everyday Americans were suspect. Under the Biden administration, mainstream American life was turned into a threat profile. We should never forget how deep the rot went.”This memo came as a growing movement of parents protested at school board meetings, demanding that schools reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic, that schools relax requirements for children to wear face masks, and that schools cease promoting transgender ideology and racially divisive policies.

On Sept. 29, the National School Boards Association sent a letter to then-President Joe Biden, comparing these concerned parents to domestic terrorists. Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland responded with an Oct. 4 memo to the FBI, U.S. attorneys, and the Justice Department’s criminal division to craft “strategies for addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” The NSBA later rescinded the letter and apologized amid pushback.

The Biden Justice Department worked closely with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-wing public interest law firm that leverages its history of suing the Ku Klux Klan into bankruptcy to place mainstream conservative and Christian groups on a “hate map” with Klan chapters. In 2023, the SPLC added Moms for Liberty and other concerned parents’ groups to the “hate map.”The FBI’s Richmond office would go on to cite the SPLC in drafting a memo on “radical-traditional Catholics.” While the FBI later rescinded the memo, the SPLC has kept the “radical-traditional Catholic hate groups” on the “hate map.”

The FBI officially cut all ties with the SPLC last year.The CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but this story will be updated with any response.

JD Vance Turns Table On Reporter Asking About Nationalizing Elections

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Vice President J.D. Vance fired back at a reporter Wednesday who asked about President Donald Trump “nationalizing elections.”

Trump called on Republicans to nationalize elections and to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require every American to provide government-issued identification before voting. Vance said voter ID should be required for all individuals who plan on voting in U.S. elections.

“If what you mean by intervening in the election is that we want everyone to have a voter ID before voting in this country, yes, we should be doing that, to be clear,” Vance said.

The crowd began chanting “USA!” in response.

WATCH:  JD Vance Turns Table On Reporter Asking About Nationalizing Elections

The SAVE Act passed the House in a 218-213 vote on Feb. 12, with Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar being the only Democrat to vote in favor of the legislation. The Senate voted to advance it in a 51-48 vote Tuesday, and is expected to spend several days debating the bill.

Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican to vote against the legislation’s advancement, while Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis was not present for the vote. Tillis has vocally opposed using a talking filibuster to pass the bill.

Trump called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to gather the necessary votes to get the election integrity bill to his desk. He threatened to veto every other bill that reaches his desk unless the Senate passes the SAVE Act.

“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,’” Trump told former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino. “We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

An Ominous Cloud of Anti-Semitic Vitriol and un-American Invective

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

“A lot of Americans are embarrassed by the fact that our leadership rarely represents our best interest and seems to prioritize the best interests of Israel in every instance”—Ana Kasparian.

A dark cloud is spreading across America, casting an ominous shadow of malice and mendacity, and threatening to split open perilous fault lines in the rich tapestry of the nation’s socio-political fabric.

 High-profile vitriol

One of the most disruptive figures driving this detrimental trend is media personality Ana Kasparian, a well-known public figure of Armenian origin (which she regularly invokes) and a frequent participant in popular talk-shows. A comely blonde, she is co-host of the TV program The Young Turks, an incongruous career choice, as originally, the term “Young Turks” is widely associated with the 1915-Armenian Genocide, particularly as she frequently raises this tragic event publicly.

Recently, Kasparian has adopted an acutely acrimonious attitude towards Israel—and is often afforded high-profile platforms to spew her vitriol.

For example, in a recent podcast of well-known political comedian/satirist, Bill Maher, she demonstrated the malevolence, ignorance, and double standards that underlie anti-Semitism, in general. and its current post-2023 manifestation, in particular.

Thus, Kasparian attempted to belittle the perils Israelis face from Palestinian stone-throwing, ignoring that over a dozen Israelis, including toddlers, perished as a result of Palestinian rock-throwers. Astonishingly, Kasparian suggested that, because of its purported nuclear capabilities, Israel has little to fear from Palestinian stones—apparently implying that Israel could always “nuke” the stone-throwers. Curiously, she dismissed the prospect of Palestinians ever using nuclear weapons if they ever possessed them, since this would make the land, they allegedly love, “unlivable”—raising the question of why that would not hold equally for Israelis!

“…if we had a nuke, we’d use it this morning…”

Interestingly, when Maher interjected that while Israel never used its nuclear capability, if the Palestinians had it, they would use it in a matter of seconds, Kasparian protested that he had no way of knowing that. In response, Maher pointed out that the “obliteration” of Israel is the express goal of Hamas—articulated in the opening clause of the organization’s Charter. Indeed, this genocidal intent is not confined to Hamas. Thus, Jibril Rajoub, a high-ranking Fatah member, publicly pledged that if Palestinians “had a nuke, we’d have used it this very morning (sic).”

Further in her self-contradictory rant, Kasparian, under pressure from Maher, was forced to concede that, rather than live in any one of Israel’s numerous pro-Palestinian adversaries, she would prefer to reside in Israel, admitting she: “would probably feel the most comfortable in Tel Aviv.” Go figure

Later in her litany of lies, Kasparian labeled IDF operations in Gaza as “random slaughter” of civilians, ignoring that the high toll of civilian casualties was largely because (a) Hamas used them as “human shields”; (b) Egypt refused to allow Gazans to flee the war zone, as is the case in every other military conflict, from Syria to Ukraine. Moreover, Kasparian’s allegations are totally at odds with assessments of objective professional observers such as Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, who remarked that no other army has exercised such care in avoiding civilian casualties, attaining the lowest ratio of civilian-to-combatant deaths ever in urban warfare.

Similarly, John Spencer, chairman of urban warfare studies at West Point, described Israel’s minimizing collateral casualties as “unprecedented,” asserting that it was setting the “gold standard” for avoiding civilian casualties.

Characterizing Khamenei as “courageous”?

In a later appearance, on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, Kasparian shied away from condemning the theocratic Iranian regime for the reported slaughter of Iranian demonstrators. Hotly contesting the validity of the widely-cited number of 30,000, she was, however, unable to provide any alternative estimate and unwilling to indicate exactly how many dead protesters would be “acceptable”.

Apparently willing to whitewash all of Israel’s adversaries, no matter how barbarous, if this serves to cast aspersions on the Jewish state, Kasparian balked at condemning her co-host on The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, for characterizing the brutal tyrant, Ali Khamenei, as “courageous”. She interjected: “…well, he never capitulated to the Israelis and we live under a government [that], regardless of which party is in power, is on its knees on behalf of Israel. So, I understand what he’s talking about. He didn’t embarrass his people by getting down on his knees to…Israel, as our leaders in the United States…[Many] Americans are embarrassed by the fact that our leadership …seems to prioritize the best interests of Israel.”

Clearly, this astounding premise seems to imply the Germans should laud Hitler because he avoided “embarrassment” by choosing to commit suicide, rather than surrender.

Portraying America as a subservient lackey of Jews?

Of course, while all this is reminiscent of the anti-Semitic trope that “Jews control the world”, it leaves one to ponder how the diminutive Israel could somehow impose its will on the s most powerful nation on the planet. Indeed, this portrayal of the US as a subservient lackey of the Jews should be deeply offensive to America—and the American electorate.

Kasparian and some of her like-minded conspiratorial Judeo-phobic kinfolk (e.g., Alex Galitsky, Policy Director of ANCA, and the boorish Dan Bilzerian (who dubbed murderous Yahya Sinwar a “hero”) have accused Israel of dragging the US into numerous armed conflicts—including the present campaign against Iran.

Apart from the prima facie absurdity of the allegation, it also runs counter to Trump’s enumeration of US imperatives for the war, invoking “menacing [Iranian] activities [that] directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies…”

Indeed, they run starkly counter to Trump’s later White House address concerning the reasons for American involvement in the war. In response to a question as to whether Netanyahu “pull[ed] the United States into this war, Trump’s riposte was “… if anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand.”

Anti-Semitic and un-American

Clearly, the accusation that Washington is Israel’s perennially pliable puppet is logically ludicrous and factually false. Indeed, over recent decades, both Democratic and Republican administrations have passed resolutions which Israel opposed—often bitterly.

Even a brief review of presidential decisions, from Eisenhower through Bush to Biden, should suffice to repudiate any allegations that America is in the iron grip of some diabolical Judaic cult, compelling it to sacrifice US interests (and lives) for those of Israel.

Indeed, the accusation that the US is Israel’s perennially pliable puppet is both logically ludicrous and factually false. After all, over recent decades, both Democratic and Republican administrations have passed resolutions which Israel opposed—often bitterly. A few notable examples include

  • Eisenhower’s 1956 decision to force an Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula;
  • The 1991 decision of the Bush White House to withhold promised loan guarantees to aid the absorption of refugees from the former USSR;
  • The 2015 decision by Obama to enter into the fatally flawed JCPOA nuclear agreement;
  • The Biden administration’s partial—but damaging–embargo on munitions during the Iron Swords Operation in Gaza.

This brief, and far from exhaustive list, should suffice to repudiate any allegations that the US is in the iron grip of some diabolical Judaic cult, compelling it to sacrifice American interests (and lives) for those of the Jewish state.

This catalog of Judeo-phobic invective by Kasparian and her like-minded cronies underscores an ominous truth. Their fact-free, often foul-mouthed, harangues are a menace that is not only anti-Semitic but profoundly anti-American. It is a development that must be nipped in the bud, before its toxic fruits contaminate ever-widening circles of the public.

Far-left Politico enraged that Tuberville says ‘Islamists are the enemy’

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Politico, like all establishment media propaganda organs, persists in assuming that Sharia is merely a set of “religious rules,” and that opposition to it is simply “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” The fact that it is political, supremacist, violent and expansionist never, ever enters into their reporting. You’d almost get the idea that they’re trying to lull Americans into complacency regarding a genuine threat.

“Tuberville shares social media post suggesting Muslims are ‘the enemy,’” by Cheyanne M. Daniels, Politico, March 12, 2026:

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Thursday shared a social media post calling Muslims “the enemy,” joining a growing number of sitting GOP members to share Islamophobic rhetoric.

Tuberville on Thursday retweeted a post that showed a picture of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani sitting cross-legged on the floor surrounded by people that was juxtaposed with a photo of the Twin Towers in New York burning on Sept. 11, 2001. The caption of the original post read, “Less than 25 years apart.”

Tuberville added his own caption: “The enemy is inside the gates.”

A spokesperson for Tuberville’s office referred POLITICO to a separate post by Tuberville on Thursday that stated that calling Islam a “cult” doesn’t make someone an Islamophobe, among other things….

Why Confronting Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions Is About Global Security — Not the Epstein Distraction

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

In recent days, one of the most puzzling arguments circulating on social media is the claim that the ongoing United States military operation Epic Fury against Iran by, alongside Israel operation Roaring Lion, is merely an attempt to distract from the controversy surrounding the files. This claim is not only misleading but also ignores years of consistent U.S. policy toward Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Long before the current tensions, President Trump made it clear that under no circumstances would he allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons or develop long-range missile capabilities. This reason is very simple, Washington as well as its allies believes the government in Tehran cannot be trusted with such dangerous weapons.

Iran has long been accused of financing and supporting several militant groups across the Middle East, including in Gaza, the organization in Lebanon, and the movement in Yemen. These groups have played significant roles in destabilizing the region and escalating tensions with Israel and treating the interest of United States.

The concern about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons is not limited to one political party in the United States. Presidents from both parties Democrats and Republican over the years have consistently warned that a nuclear-armed Iran would make the world significantly less safe. In fact, many countries in the Middle East share this concern. Nations such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Turkey along with several others across the region have expressed serious reservations about Tehran developing nuclear capabilities.

Critics have also long debated the effectiveness of President Obama 2015 nuclear agreement negotiated during the administration. It was discovered that the deal provided Iran with financial relief without permanently dismantling its nuclear infrastructure. Some analysts believe that the financial resources released to Iran were partly used to strengthen Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah who regional proxy groups funded by Ayatollahs.

In my opinion I believed Obama Administration really help the Iranian to accelerate the development of its nuke.

Despite the Democrats and media criticism of this current administration regardless of how it benefits the interest of United States. President Trump has repeatedly portrayed himself as a leader seeking peace through negotiation and deterrence. His administration has often emphasized the concept of “peace through strength,” arguing that firm pressure can prevent larger conflicts.

On March 7, 2025, President Trump announced that he had sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, proposing renewed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. In the letter, Trump warned that failure to reach an agreement could result in serious military consequences.

The proposal reportedly required Iran to fully dismantle its nuclear program, halt all uranium enrichment, and end its support for regional proxy groups within two months. In return, the United States offered the possibility of lifting sanctions and normalizing relations with Tehran.

According to reports from negotiations, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff stated on Fox News that Iranian negotiators claimed they possessed roughly 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. Such statements naturally raised alarm in Washington, as uranium enriched to that level is considered dangerously close to weapons-grade material.

It is important to note that there is no American president regardless of party would ignore this kind of statement.

In Nigeria and across social media, many observers are taking sides in the conflict largely through religious or emotional lenses. However, the issue at stake goes beyond religion. At its core, the debate revolves around global power dynamics, regional stability in the Middle East, and the broader question of nuclear proliferation.
Ultimately, supporters of the current U.S. policy argue that strong leadership and decisive action are necessary to prevent a more dangerous future.

For them, the guiding principle remains simple: peace through strength.
