The Southern Poverty Law Center just released a report claiming there are 1,225 hate and anti-government groups in America. These groups cause “fear and pain (in) Black, brown, and LGBTQ communities.”
The SPLC lists such groups on its “hate map.”
I once believed the center. Well-meaning people still do. Apple once gave them $1 million.
But what donors don’t know is that today, the SPLC smears good people, not just “haters.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali grew up Muslim in Somalia, but now she criticizes radical Islam and sometimes (maybe this is what really bothers the SPLC) fraternizes with American…
A law enforcement task force will continue to work full time to gather evidence after a suspect has been charged in some of the Gilgo Beach killings, including further investigation into a string of other human remains found scattered across Long Island more than a decade ago, a top investigator told CNN.

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) — More than 51 million people in South Korea awoke on Wednesday to find themselves a year or two younger – at least, according to the law.

The news has been full of concerns about the fate of our republic following the indictment of former President Donald Trump. There have been questions about the politicization of criminal laws and the credibility of the judiciary, the polarization of the electorate and threats of violent domestic reaction.
