The government is alleging that the SPLC, which presents itself as America's foremost anti-hate organization, quite literally funded Klan robes.

On June 3, a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama returned a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, a second, expanded set of charges building on an original April 21 indictment, alleging that $4.1 million in tax-exempt funds paid informants inside extremist organizations who then recruited new members and purchased materials for cross burnings and Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods. The post New DOJ Indictment Alleges Southern Poverty Law Center Funds Went to Hoods and Cross Burnings appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
What do you call a political activist who plays the role of a journalist? A propagandist.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright appeared on Fox News Wednesday to defend the Trump administration against Democratic criticism over gasoline prices spiking amid the president’s deeply unpopular war against Iran, and provided a stunning explanation for the record-setting price surges.Fox News’ Bill Hemmer cued a compilation clip of Democratic lawmakers criticizing the Trump administration for its war against Iran, placing the blame for rising energy costs squarely on the decision to launch the war. And yet, Wright insisted that the blame lay elsewhere.“It's a little rich, it's a little rich! We're in the middle of solving a 47-year-old problem that's a growing problem about a nuclear-armed Iran,” Wright said.“The bigger problem, the even bigger problem with gasoline prices, electricity prices, heating prices, is Democrat green policies!”Gasoline prices in the United States reached an average of $4.48 per gallon in May, an increase of 42.2% over the previous year, Fox News reported. While the price hike coincided with Trump’s war against Iran – which resulted in major disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows – Wright continued to insist Democratic policies around renewable energy were to blame.“They've done everything they can for 20 years to drive energy prices up, and now they're upset about high energy prices!” Wright said. “I'm glad, I hope they keep that attitude going forward and will work with us to drive energy prices back down.”Energy @SecretaryWright on what the "bigger problem" is causing soaring gas prices:"The even bigger problem with gasoline prices, electricity prices, heating prices, is Democrat green policies!" pic.twitter.com/vj4U5IheDY— Alexander Willis (@ReporterWillis) June 3, 2026
Long-time readers of this space surely know of my delight in the demise of CBS News and 60 Minutes; I give them far too much attention based on the merits. Of late, though, the misfortunes of the elite communists being slowly turned out of the newsroom at the organ Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather built (talk about two of the most overrated personages in the history of media) have become utterly fascinating.

Republicans are slinging mud at the wall trying to counter Graham Platner’s popularity in Maine.Lacking any competitive, ideological alternative, Kellyanne Conway suggested Monday night that Democrats should be forced to step away from Platner, who has been polling with a tremendous lead for the state’s Senate seat over Governor Janet Mills. (Mills ended her campaign in April, but she is still on the primary ballot.) But the language Conway chose to express her complaint was particularly odd—particularly as she tried to liken the working-class oyster farmer’s intraparty prominence to that of David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and what she perceived to be an unfair double standard.“Remember, everybody who’s a Republican anywhere had to disclaim David Duke,” Conway told Fox News. “I want every single Democrat who’s running as United States Senate candidate this year to step away from [Platner], to tell him to get off the ticket.“This guy needs to go and take care of his family. They’ve been married two short years, he’s bored already,” Conway added.Kellyanne: They made us disclaim David Duke. I want every single Democrat to step away from Platner. pic.twitter.com/mxAbppYRdm— Acyn (@Acyn) June 2, 2026Platner has recently been at the center of several controversies that have created some anxiety amid the higher echelons of the Democratic establishment. The first involved Platner’s tattoos, which included a skull-and-bones symbol that resembled Nazi imagery. Platner claimed in October that he had covered up the tattoo and eventually planned to remove it.Platner told the Associated Press at the time that “going to a tattoo removal place is going to take a while.”That same month, Platner apologized for resurfaced Reddit posts that revealed some of his unfiltered thoughts, such as messages that minimized the experiences of military members who had been victims of sexual assault, and posts in which he referred to white rural Americans as racist and stupid, among other topics.Another scandal emerged Saturday when The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported that Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, had warned the oyster farmer’s team, days into his campaign, that he had previously sent sexually explicit text messages to other women.Gertner told CNN that she was “deeply hurt” that their marital problems had become public knowledge. She has decided to stand by her husband anyway.“We did the hard work that marriage requires. We went to counseling. We were honest with each other in ways that weren’t easy,” Gertner said in a statement provided by Platner’s campaign. “And we came through it, not in spite of how much we’ve been through, but because of how much we love each other and the life we’ve built. Our marriage today is stronger than ever before.”Platner still has a cadre of progressive figureheads standing behind him, including Senators Bernie Sanders, Ruben Gallego, and Martin Heinrich.“We got a housing crisis. People can’t afford health care, they can’t afford groceries, they can’t afford to fill up their gas tanks. And I think it’s important for us to focus on the issues facing working families a little bit more than Graham Platner’s marriage,” Sanders told reporters on Capitol Hill. “I wish their marriage the very best. But right now, I think we should be focusing on the crises facing the working class and electing people of the guts to stand up to the oligarchs who control our country.”
