🚨THE LEFT'S ENFORCER:

The Southern Poverty Law Center has taken aim at Not the Bee, the real-news partner of The Babylon Bee. The SPLC is threatening to doxx the people who write for Not the Bee, to reveal their identities to expose them to ridicule and ostracization.

The SPLC is trying to silence Not the Bee because it publishes news that contradicts the SPLC's woke narrative. But I also suspect there's a secondary motive at play.

First, a word on the SPLC. What is it?

As the name suggests, the group was founded to provide legal representation to poor people in the South. Yet, as I wrote in my book, "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," Morris Dees used the SPLC to sue Klan groups into bankruptcy, a noble mission but one that SPLC lawyers described as "shooting fish in a barrel" in the 1980s. When he ran out of Klan groups, Dees turned to ever more mainstream conservative and Christian groups.

Today, the SPLC releases a "hate map" that plots mainstream groups like the Center for Immigration Studies, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Moms for Liberty alongside chapters of the Klan. Their crimes? Disagreeing with the SPLC's woke agenda. The SPLC has become the Left's cancel culture enforcer.

This makes the SPLC quite useful to the Left, which is why companies like Eventbrite and NextDoor still use the SPLC despite its many scandals.

What Scandals?🤔

It might be more pertinent to ask what kind of scandal hasn't dogged the SPLC.

It's quite a list:

1⃣$3M in a defamation settlement to a Muslim reformer the SPLC branded an "anti-Islamic extremist."

2⃣A racial discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit that led SPLC to fire its cofounder and have its president resign in 2019.

3⃣A former employee saying the "hate" accusations are a "highly profitable scam" to bilk donors.

4⃣The FBI publicly declaring that SPLC isn't a reliable source of information (more on this later).

5⃣A defamation lawsuit against the SPLC making it past a key legal hurdle last year.

6⃣Accusations of "union-busting" from employees amid a restructuring earlier this year.

🚨'ROTTEN TO A CORE': 5-year FEMA veteran reveals woke bias at the disaster agency.

FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington infamously told agents to avoid houses with signs supporting Donald Trump in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell condemned this, suggesting that Washington acted alone.

Washington said she didn't act alone, and FEMA sources told me that Washington's probably right. A former employee who worked at FEMA for 5 years said Criswell's statement is a "complete lie."😲

'COMPLETE LIE': The former FEMA employee told me that he also witnessed FEMA leaders encouraging staff to avoid whites and conservatives on the supposition that they would be hostile.

"They were told to avoid Trump, avoid any house that has a Trump sign, in a verbal meeting," he said. "I've seen that happen."😲

"We were told, 'Don't go into any house that looks suspicious,'" the former employee recalled. "They would use words like, 'hick,' 'cowboys,' 'rednecks.' You can change that over to 'Trump supporters,' 'MAGA.'"

Referring to Washington, the fired supervisor, the former employee said: "She's saying, 'I didn't make this up on my own.' I believe her because I've totally seen it."

"I believe she did exactly what she was told to do," he said. "I read Deanne's statement—it's a lie, it's a complete lie."

'WE WILL HEAR MORE':

A current employee who spoke to me on condition of anonymity agreed regarding Criswell.

"The good people at FEMA deserve stronger leadership," he said. "I believe the FEMA administrator to be premature, shortsighted, and misleading in her assessment of this incident."

"While public responder safety is a paramount objective, responders are given the necessary latitude to determine whether unsafe conditions exist," the FEMA employee added. "The extreme liberal ideology behind DEI that this Biden-Harris administration has prioritized, with support from the mainstream media and their sympathetic sycophants, convinced humanitarian responders that Trump signs imply a risk to their personal safety."

"I do not believe Ms. Washington is alone and I believe we will hear more instances of how DEI has improperly influenced the delivery of lifesaving aid to Americans in need," the staffer said.

🚨Why is the Biden-Harris administration so woke? Didn't Biden campaign as a moderate?🤔

This chart explains what happened. Bear with me: I know it looks like a conspiracy theory, but I have the receipts.

In short: The Left's dark money network funds a system of woke nonprofits that staff and advise the administrative state, getting their far-left policy agenda implemented in the federal government.

My book, "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government," outlines exactly how this works and zeroes in on a few key issues.

One of the biggest issues for me has been the weaponization of federal law enforcement against conservatives.

At the center of this is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left smear factory that puts mainstream conservative and Christian groups on a "hate map" with the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC targets organizations that oppose its far-left agenda on critical race theory, immigration, transgender issues, and more.

SPLC President Margaret Huang has bragged that federal law enforcement reached out to the SPLC for advice on combatting the "domestic terror threat," and FOIA documents reveal the extent of the SPLC's influence in government. SPLC leaders and staff have visited the White House at least 18 times, according to visitor logs.

The SPLC has also received funding💰 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society, the Proteus Fund, the New Venture Fund, and the Tides Foundation.

The vast influence campaign I call the Woketopus has also monkeyed with election rules. The leftist group Demos has extensive ties to the Biden-Harris administration.

When the Senate failed to advance the Democrats' H.R. 1 bill that would have amounted to a federal takeover of elections, Biden instead signed an executive order that echoed a Demos paper nearly word-for-word.

This executive order enlisted federal agencies in registering voters, and early in the administration's implementation of the order, the government convened a host of Woketopus groups — including SPLC, the Tides Foundation, and many others — to a "listening session." Conspicuously absent was any conservative group or any group warning about election integrity.😲

🚨EXCLUSIVE: How many U.S. Muslims deny Hamas' crimes on Oct. 7? A surprisingly high amount.

A @J_L_Partners poll commissioned by @Heritage asked the general population and U.S. Muslims whether Hamas committed murder and rape on Oct. 7. 64% of Americans said Hamas did. Only 31% of U.S. Muslims agreed.

39% of U.S. Muslims said Hamas did NOT commit murder and rape on Oct. 7😲

dailysignal.com/2024/10/06/ame…

Only 1/3 of U.S. Muslims☪️ said Israel🇮🇱 has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland. Two-thirds of the overall American population supported Israel's right to exist.

A large plurality—43%—of U.S. Muslims said Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish homeland, while only 11% of the overall American population agreed.

The poll also asked how the US🇺🇸 should respond if Iran🇮🇷 attacks Israel🇮🇱 (The poll was conducted before Iran's airstrikes into Israel earlier this month)

37% of U.S. Muslims said America "should not support Israel at all."‼️

72% of Americans overall said the US should defend Israel with US troops (17%), or give military aid short of sending troops (35%), or support Israel diplomatically only (20%).

48% of U.S. Muslims said America should support Israel either with troops (9%), with military aid (14%), or at least diplomatically (25%).

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Eric Cubin, a radiologist, was booted from his state's Board of Medicine for supporting a bill named after @ChoooCole, a bill that would ban transgender experiments for minors, which are falsely called "gender-affirming care." Now, he's suing.

Today, @LJCenter is filing a preliminary injunction, asking a federal court to restore Cubin to the Wyoming Board of Medicine while the court considers his First Amendment lawsuit against Gov. Mark Gordon.

Cubin claims Gordon unconstitutionally retaliated against the doctor for his free speech.

dailysignal.com/2024/10/01/exc…

“I was removed from the Wyoming State Board of Medicine because I took a stand to protect the children in our state," Cubin told me.

He explained that he sent a letter to the Wyoming House of Representatives because the Wyoming Medical Society (of which he is a member) publicly opposed Chloe's Law. He asked the society to clarify that not all of its member doctors oppose Chloe's Law, but the society did not respond to him.

"I had been misrepresented by the Wyoming Medical Society and had no choice but to speak up for what I believe to be right," he told me.‼️ “I urged our legislators to be circumspect about the information they were being provided and cautious about what they allow physicians to do to kids in our state—something that is now the law across Wyoming."

Gov. Gordon, a Republican who begrudgingly signed Chloe's Law in March, removed Cubin from the Board of Medicine. He suggested that Cubin had chosen to "express personal beliefs in a way that can be construed as speaking for [the Board of Medicine]." Gordon said Cubin's letter might give doctors "a reason to be concerned that you might use your position to advocate for a particular position when considering matters that should be considered absent an agenda or pejudice."

Yet Cubin had been speaking for himself, not for the board, and other board members had advocated before the Legislature in support of legislation—in one case arguing against providing care for babies born alive in attempted abortions.

Furthermore, Gordon has a bad record on standing up against transgender orthodoxy. The governor declined to sign a bill banning males from competing in girls' sports, calling it "overly draconian." While he signed Chloe's Law, he also expressed concerns that protecting kids from experimental trans treatments might undermine parental rights.🤔

🚨Legacy media outlets are touting the 200 "Republicans" who signed an open letter backing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.🤔 I was curious, so I teamed up with @TheElizMitchell and did a little digging.
As it turns out, this list has three groups of "former Bush, McCain, and Romney staff" who arguably don't belong and may have been added just to pad the numbers:
1⃣INTERNS. Yes, people who interned for a presidential campaign or a Senate office are on this list as if they represent GOP politicos.
2⃣Apolitical staff. There's a guy who flew Marine One for George W. Bush (props) who also flew Marine One for *checks notes* Barack Obama. Not exactly a GOP politico, huh?
3⃣People who went on to work for Democrats in more political roles.
If you want to publicly back Harris, fine. But this list doesn't represent some sort of groundswell among Republicans. dailysignal.com/2024/08/30/lis…

1⃣Exhibit A of someone who does NOT belong on such a list: Felice Gorordo. Yes, Gorordo did work in the Bush administration. But in 2011, Barack Obama appointed him as a White House Fellow. Then, in 2018, he joined the Biden Cancer Initiative. He may be a fine guy, but he's not evidence of a GOP groundswell for Harris.

2⃣I'd like to thank Daniel Connor for his service as a presidential helicopter pilot, naval attache, and special advisor to the Marine Corps. But a man who flew Marine One for Bush and then kept flying it for Barack Obama does not belong on this list—his important service to the country transcends politics, so he doesn't represent a GOP groundswell for Harris.
