It’s worth noting that the SPLC is getting a full-court defense from Pravda for a reason: the driving narrative about Donald Trump, political violence, and the need for a censorship infrastructure in the United States is largely buttressed by references to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map.” Advertisement All the major news organizations rely heavily on the SPLC to tell them whom to slander; the US government partnered with the SPLC to determine whom to investigate; social media companies turned to the SPLC for advice on whom to censor; and public school curricula are designed around SPLC talking points.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday blocked President Trump’s policy barring illegal aliens from seeking asylum. In February 2025, the anti-American ACLU and Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center sued the Trump Administration over its asylum policy.

US District Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, said President Trump does not have the authority to bypass immigration law that Congress has enacted. President Trump appealed Judge Moss’s decision. On Friday, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the lower court and…

As Americans grapple with painful prices at the pump amidst a global oil crisis, some Alaskan lawmakers seem intent on making that pain even worse. The 49th state is debating a tax increase on certain oil and gas companies, a measure that will make energy even more expensive and chill investment. The state Senate shoehorned this tax hike via a Democrat-sponsored amendment into a House bill that covers a royalty agreement with Marathon Petroleum Corporation. The amendment would impose a top marginal tax rate of more than 9% on privately held oil companies, as opposed to publicly traded ones like…
Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent sparred with pro-Israel lawyer Alan Dershowitz Thursday over Israel’s influence on U.S. involvement in the Iran war. Dershowitz claimed on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” that President Donald Trump did not get involved in the war for Israel’s interests and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had not been pulling any strings during his talks with the president. Kent, who argued that U.S. involvement serves Israel’s interest, stated that the U.S. allows Israel more influence over the nation than any foreign country should have.“I would more accurately describe it as an echo chamber…

In the early 2000s, no one listened to country music in the Northeast. Among blue-blooded Yankees, country music was looked down upon, and there were serious negative stereotypes about the genre and the South, more generally. Country music was for the backward hicks and yokels who lived in the boonies. Country music was for the guys in cut-off denim jackets with Confederate flag bumper stickers on the back of their rusted Chevys. Country music was for gauche people with horrible taste. Ah, but so much has changed since then – all for the better. Along with rap, country is now…

Attorney General Jay Jones, D-Va., attempted to defend the commonwealth’s redistricting ballot initiative in an appeal to the state Supreme Court, while doing his best to dance around the amendment’s misleading language. In a spring special election Democrat legislators presented Virginians with a constitutional referendum to gerrymander the state’s 11 U.S. House districts, shifting the balance of power in the delegation from six Democrats and five Republicans to 10 Democrats and one Republican.

President Donald Trump said at a White House press conference on Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s presence at the upcoming G20 summit in Miami “would be very helpful,” although he also said he had not actually invited Putin. “I doubt he would come,” Trump told reporters. “But if he came, it would be very helpful.” Trump mused that Putin was “very offended” when he was ejected from the Group of Eight (G8) in 2014 due to Russia’s annexation of Crimea. “I’d venture to say you probably wouldn’t be having these problems if you didn’t throw him out. I’m of…

For those still unfamiliar with the peculiar eschaton of the Iranian regime’s cultish subsect of Shi’a Islam, the entire raison d’etre of the Islamic Republic is to hasten the end of the world to produce its messiah. The Qom mullahs believe that the Twelfth Imam has already come to the world but remains hidden until a global war obliterates all opposition to Islam. The mullahs have survived for nearly a half-century on the claims of divine authority to immanentize this eschaton, which will result in a global Islamic empire based in Tehran.

Two Democrat-appointed judges have struck down President Donald Trump’s border restrictions against asylum seekers, prompting applause from open-borders advocates in the ACLU and the Democratic Party. “We conclude that the [immigration law’s] text, structure, and history make clear… Congress did not intend to grant the Executive the expansive removal authority it asserts,” says the split opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
