And not in a good way. The Lawplainer, Shipwreckedcrew DOJ Charges the "Southern Poverty Law Center" With Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Money Laundering Conspiracy splains "No one -- and certainly not a charity -- can obtain money or property from a third party through use of a material misrepresentation, or omission of a material fact -- that's called fraud." Steve Guest @SteveGuest, "Bombshell CBS News segment on the Southern Poverty Law Center indictment where the SPLC lied to donors, paid violent extremists millions, and “manufactured racism” for its own purposes “The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose.” Per Todd Blanche The Charlottesville rally leader attended “at the direction of SPLC” and made racist posts “under the supervision” of SPLC."

Tony Kinnett @TheTonus, "Kamala Harris falsely accusing Trump of coddling the Charlottesville white supremacist rally exactly one month after she was endorsed by the SPLC—the group that planned, organized, & paid for the Charlottesville white supremacist rally." Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog asks So When Are The “Punch A Nazi” Sorts Going To Punch SPLC Donors? Ace, Gavin McInnes: The Organizer of "United the (Fake) Right" Paid by the SPLC Would Not Stop Beggint Me to Attend His SPLC-Funded Anti-Right Op, "So it was all an op from the beginning: The guy paid by the SPLC -- who was also, get this, a CNN "reporter" (!!!) -- tried to draw in as many people on the right as possible so they would all get smeared as racists when the "They Will Not Replace Us!" tik-torch operatives made their surprise, but planned, appearance." Hat Hair's Dave Strom calls SPLC and Pravda: a Match Made in Heaven. Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec, "Scott called it." Quote Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays, Mar 8, 2023, "What are the odds those tiki torch carrying neo-Nazis from Charlottesville would only rally once? Feels like it was an American intel op against Trump. That’s my working assumption." At LI, Herr Professor Jacobson remembers SPLC False Flag Operations Reminiscent of Tactics Used Against Tea Party “I guarantee you it’s going on extensively, these false flag operations to portray Republicans and conservatives as racist, etc., etc. And it appears if what the Feds are saying is true that SPLC was part of that.”
Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "Each passing day reveals more and more and more how we have all been paying for our own demise, as our tax dollars have been funding NGOs peddling extra-constitutional policies and activities that the electorate had otherwise rejected. The SPLC is just the most prominent organization peddling hate-4-dollars. Their entire network of supported NGOs is in on it too. How did this happen? Did somebody have a good idea in a meeting decades ago: “Hey, let’s control America by moving our activities in an unaccountable way to unelected, non-governmental organizations, but let’s still pay ourselves with tax dollars!” Or was this some sort of unspoken conspiracy between like minded individuals?" Dave Strom at Hat Hair says USAID Is Back in the News For All the Wrong Reasons. Rick de la Torre @vrk_rick, "The NGO funding machine is getting harder to ignore. USAID funneled $27 million through the Tides Center, with some of it going directly into the Southern Poverty Law Center. For years, the liberal left inside the federal government hijacked nonprofits as pass-through vehicles; a legal loophole to launder taxpayer dollars into partisan left-wing networks like SPLC. Tides operates as the perfect hub: it receives massive federal grants, buries the ultimate recipients behind multiple layers of 501(c)(3)s, and quietly re-grants the money to activist allies. The American people didn’t authorize this. It needs to end now." Quote Bad Hombre @Badhombre, "Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco. From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.” The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative. The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia." Kyle Becker @kylenabecker, "The SPLC wasn't paying for the "infiltration" of "hate groups" (not including Antifa, by the way). It was supervising the posting of racist hate messages and helping with the transport of agitators who provoked riots. We all can read the grand jury indictment, which isn't based on opinion, but facts. BY THE WAY, since you are all going with this idiotic, fabricated narrative...." I want to see the receipts for the Tiki torches. Elon Musk @elonmusk, "The reality is that stoking hate was incredibly lucrative for the SPLC. That’s why they did it. Incentives explain outcomes." Quote The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial, "White supremacy went up because the SPLC changed the definition and applied it to everybody. Supply and demand problem fixed. Fkn magicians. x.com/therabbithole/…" Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist @DeAngelisCorey, "The Southern Poverty Law Center paid the National Education Association hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Trump announced plans to fix and clean up the Washington Monument Reflecting Pond for a fraction of the cost the Biden admin had planned, and it sent liberals into a tizzy, or a least deeper. Dave Manney at PJM, Trump Restores a Landmark and Saves Millions. "Trump chose an industrial-grade swimming pool surface in American flag blue. The coating covers the aging granite bottom and seals the leaks. Trump announced the work on April 23 and set a clear timeline. The job costs around $1.5 million and should finish within weeks. Previous plans called for full granite replacement at roughly $301 million, stretching over many years." At Althouse, Well, plenty of people think something filthy, dirty, and disgusting looking is representative of the country. "Imagine an art installation titled "America." It wouldn't have sparkling clear water bubbling cheerfully now, would it? But I'm reading "Trump Says He’s Renovating ‘Filthy’ Reflecting Pool on the National Mall/The pool, which is more than 2,000 feet long, was the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s 'I Have a Dream' speech and other events" (NYT) “It’s filthy, dirty — the water’s disgusting looking,” Mr. Trump recalled a friend telling him. “It’s not representative of the country.”
