The Department of Justice has been investigating DisruptJ20, a "resistance" group that plotted to shut down President Trump's inauguration. The DOJ has demanded the IP addresses of visitors, along with any emails, photos and names it can get. But the pipeline of Dj20 funding goes back to George Soros. And not just Soros. Money from the Global Justice Alliance went to Refuse Fascism, a group founded by members of the Revolutionary Communist Party, which staged violent protests. “Respectable” big money leftist groups like the Hill Snowdon Foundation and Ben and Jerry’s Foundation fund middlemen like the Alliance. And then the...

For more than 30 years, the author and public intellectual Peter Brimelow has argued for and published the writings of like-minded “immigration patriots” who support strong restrictions on immigration.Standing at the right edge of the policy debate, he has drawn the ire of pro-immigration advocates who ascribe racism to his positions. Left-wing groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League label him a “white nationalist.” They put him and VDARE, the nonprofit he established in 1999, on their well-publicized “hate” lists.Brimelow claims those long-running battles over protected speech are the reason he has been targeted by New...

Conservative shareholders at eight major corporations have filed resolutions urging those companies to stop using politicized tools like the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map,” which added Turning Point USA a few months before the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The Heritage Foundation and portfolio manager David Bahnsen, which have held thousands of dollars in shares at each of the companies, filed the proposals last week. “The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated October as Hate Crimes Awareness Month—but few organizations have sown more hatred against fellow Americans than the SPLC itself,” Heritage Chief Advancement Officer Andrew Olivastro told The Daily...

Major corporate giving platforms use the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to vet charities, effectively blocking donations to many conservative and faith-based nonprofits wrongly labeled as “hate groups.” Benevity, a platform used by hundreds of corporations to manage workplace donations, says it has processed more than $18.5 billion in transactions. Company materials show that the platform relies on the SPLC list to help determine which organizations employees are allowed to select for donations.... The SPLC has labeled right-leaning groups such as Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) as “hate groups,” listing them alongside the Ku Klux Klan...

Yesterday, I was glancing at the television at the barber shop and I saw an advertisement for the SPLC for $19/month. They will give you a T-shirt that says 'Stop Hate'. I guess the SPLC got funding cut off by DOGE... 😀 I guess I'll send them a note -- F You, SPLC.

The far-left extremists at the Southern Poverty Law Center already have seen the FBI announce it is cutting all ties with them. And a petition is demanding that the Department of Justice take the same step. Now a complaint has been filed with federal authorities calling for a full review of the SPLC’s status as a “charitable” organization that gives it huge tax breaks. According to the Federalist, the Center to Advance Security in America has submitted a legal complaint asking for the full review because of the SPLC’s “hyper-partisan political activity.” In fact, the complaint calls for the organization’s...

Following the end of the FBI’s cooperation with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, America First Legal dropped a trove of documents proving that President Joe Biden’s Justice Department closely cooperated with SPLC, ADL, and other groups to target so-called hate. Indeed, the documents show that Kristen Clarke, the black supremacist who ran DOJ’s Civil Rights Division under Biden, took direction from the SPLC in running her department and setting its priorities. Such were the close contacts that one wonders why Clarke didn’t give SPLC and ADL offices at DOJ to cut down on travel time for meetings with the...

Andrew demonstrates what happens when you search for Charlie Kirk and SPLC. This is how search engines slander conservatives.

The FBI once chased Catholics and parents with the SPLC’s “hate map.” Now, under Trump, the grifters are exposed and America’s institutions are being reset. emember the good old days when the FBI would hang out in the parking lots of Catholic churches where the traditional Latin Mass was celebrated? The Bureau claimed that such churches were a breeding ground for what the Biden administration called “domestic extremism” and offered plenty of scope for what the FBI called “mitigation opportunities.” Hence, they jotted down the license plate numbers of the parishioners who just got done reciting really dangerous things like...

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The FBI has confirmed that it severed all ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left activist group that puts conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” along with Ku Klux Klan chapters. The “hate map” has inspired at least one terrorist attack against a conservative organization. “The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence.” “That disgraceful record...

Charlie Kirk built himself into the face of a conservative youth movement through Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Behind the branding of “patriotism” and “freedom,” the record shows a pattern of rhetoric, organizational culture, and alliances that echoed white supremacist and Christian nationalist ideologies. The Southern Poverty Law Center documented how TPUSA repeatedly framed immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and racial justice advocates as existential threats to “white Christian America,” warning followers that their families, religion, and entire way of life were under attack. In later years, Kirk openly embraced Christian nationalist language, claiming that liberty was only possible with a Christian population—a...

President Donald Trump already has confirmed he would be on board with designating Antifa, and other far-left radicals across America, as domestic terrorists. His confirmation came in a response to a question from The Center Square. Now the House of Representatives is working on that very project. That same publication now is confirming that the House is expediting legislation brought by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., to do that.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a terrorist attack meant to discourage the conservative movement. Even before authorities had suspected sniper Tyler Robinson in custody, we knew it was likely the work of a radicalized mind brainwashed by far-left extremist rhetoric so vile that he thought it was okay to kill someone. Where does this radicalization come from? Follow the money.Conservative Mike Cernovich was correct in his Wednesday X post calling for a congressional investigation into the funding of far-left extremism. Our political climate is not an accident. Provocative leftist ideologies pushed with guerrilla marketing are used to manipulate weak minds. Influence...

The alleged ‘radicalized’ assassin did not get to this moment on his own. Investigation details show a young man steeped in leftist dogma.After an intensive, multi-day manhunt, law enforcement officials on Friday said they had taken into custody conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s killer. Police assert 22-year-old Tyler Robinson “acted alone” in assassinating the Turning Point USA founder. But did he? Authorities said Robinson’s roommate shared with investigators the alleged cold-blooded killer’s communications on messaging app Discord. In them, the suspect discusses “a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to...

Founder of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk appeared on Fox News Tuesday and wasted no time firing back after the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) officially designated his conservative youth organization as a “hate group” in its latest annual report. The SPLC’s 2024 report, released Thursday, identified 1,371 extremist groups and said that their growing influence is fracturing communities and undermining U.S. democracy. Kirk discussed the matter during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.” “Understand that they’re literally putting high school chapters of ours on a hate group next to the KKK and next to neo-Nazi groups,” Kirk told Laura...

The Southern Poverty Law Center is perhaps most notorious for its “hate map,” which not only neglects to track extremist groups on the left, but also lumps mainstream conservative and religious organizations right alongside some of the most reprehensible neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the country. For this, it has been regularly and rightly criticized. The controversial activist group has also become phenomenally wealthy, with an endowment rivaling prominent universities and annual revenues exceeding some of the most well-known charities in the country. Recent visitors to its website may have noticed the following fundraising appeal: “Urgent: This is an all-hands-on-deck...

Anti-extremism researchers say they have identified a group claiming responsibility for the hoax active-shooter calls that led to massive police responses and widespread panic at Villanova University and other colleges as students returned to campus last week. Members of the nonprofit Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) said Wednesday they believe the source of the calls is a group dubbed Purgatory, part of an online threat network called “The Com” that exists at the “intersection of extremism, cybercrime, child abuse, and violence,” according to the nonprofit, which was formed in 2020 by former members of the Southern Poverty Law...

The FBI spied extensively on a Roman Catholic priest who declined to disclose private conversations he had with a parishioner, according to a report released earlier this week from the House Judiciary Committee that has raised religious liberty concerns. “This new information demonstrates that the FBI not only used its federal law enforcement resources to surveil certain Catholic Americans, but it also used these resources to investigate a clergy member,” the committee said, according to the July 22 report that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, shared with the Catholic News Agency. After he expressed reluctance to comply with a January 2023...

Secret Service employee identified as Antifa. So how many secret service agents are from the Antifa terrorist group? Is this why Trump had such poor protection resulting in two assassination attempts? @SecretService This is a national disgrace! This had to be intentional because you should have known this. Post Conversation Andy Ngo 🏳️‍🌈 @MrAndyNgo A far-left radical who has online posts suggesting support for Antifa extremism was outed by internet sleuths as a Secret Service agent. He deleted his account "endon40" after his identity and name was posted. The Secret Service agent is a fan of Portland Antifa propagandist and...

Despite its penurious name, the Southern Poverty Law Center has an endowment of more than $700 million, compensates leadership handsomely, and possesses more than $30 million in offshore accounts—likely in the Cayman Islands, its most recent IRS filing reveals. “It’s very odd and frankly raises suspicion that a nonprofit organization would have accounts in places like the Cayman Islands, or as they reported $30 million in Central America,” Mat Staver, founder and chairman of the law firm Liberty Counsel, told The Daily Signal on Tuesday.
