Joe Biden promised that there would be fewer fires, floods, and hurricanes if he wins in November. He claimed that climate change caused fires in the West, floods in the Midwest, and hurricanes on the East Coast. That's not right.

I grew up doing wildland fire mitigation in dry Colorado, and my Eagle project focused on clearing brush and duff to mitigate wildfires. Mitigation and controlled burning are essential for preventing forest fires, and California has been preventing them via red tape.
Also, thanks to @JunkScience for pointing out that floods in the Midwest are nothing new. The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was far worse than the flooding last year. Finally, as @RyanMaue pointed out, hurricanes are not a result of climate change.
Trump's reelection would not usher in more "hellish" climate disasters and Biden's victory would not prevent them. Natural disasters are a tragic part of life and we have to mitigate them and restrain them, not blame them on climate change.

🚨TARGETING CONSERVATIVES

However bad you think the Biden DOJ was, new documents show that it was even worse.

The Civil Rights Division had a disturbingly close relationship with a group tied to Antifa, a group that compares conservatives to the KKK.

🧵1/14 Image
I am referring to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which puts conservative & Christian groups on a "hate map" with KKK chapters, suggesting a similar hatred drives them.

Then-SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged about advising the Biden admin on "domestic terrorism."

🧵2/14
New docs obtained by @America1stLegal show DOJ Civil Rights Division head Kristen Clarke asking Huang for tips to track "matters of concern."

🧵MEDIA BIAS

Kash Patel announced that the FBI had cut ties from the SPLC today.

This was long in coming. I'd know—I wrote the book about the SPLC.

I was shocked, though not surprised, to see the media twist the story.

🧵1/20 Image
SPLC puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with the KKK. This inspired a terror attack in 2012. This year, SPLC added Turning Point USA to the "hate map" before Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Liberals have joined conservatives in slamming the SPLC's extreme bias.

🧵2/20
This came after news the SPLC cut ties to the Anti-Defamation League.

Why? The ADL has demonized critics of transgender ideology, and it bent over backwards to suggest the Nashville transgender shooter was not an example of "left-wing extremism."

🚨BREAKING EXCLUSIVE

The FBI under Kash Patel has formally cut all ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center

This is HUGE

🧵1/5 Image
“The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine,” @Kash_Patel told me. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans & even inspired violence.”

“That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”

🧵2/5
This comes after I and a chorus of conservative voices, including @elonmusk, @Cernovich, @JackPosobiec, and so many others rightly called on the FBI to officially cut ties.

🚨TIME TO CUT ALL TIES

Kash Patel's FBI rightly cut ties with the Anti-Defamation League, which tried to weaponize law enforcement against critics of transgender ideology.

Now, it needs to officially declare its separation from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

🧵1/10 Image
The SPLC gained its reputation by suing the KKK into bankruptcy.

Then, it used its "Klanwatch" to target conservatives.

Now, it puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with chapters of the KKK.

The Biden admin enlisted SPLC for advice on domestic terrorism😲

🧵2/10
In 2012, a terrorist used the "hate map" to target @FRCdc.

In 2017, the man who shot @SteveScalise at a Congressional Baseball Game practice had "liked" SPLC on Facebook.

SPLC added Turning Point USA to the hate map a few months before Charlie Kirk's assassination

🚨'LET YOUR RAGE FUEL YOU'

After she faced a politically motivated death threat, @KimTaylor_VA points the finger at @SpanbergerForVA for comments she made in June.

“Words like these have consequences, and my family felt them firsthand,” Taylor told me.

🧵1/12 Image
After Charlie Kirk's assassination, @winwithwinsome's campaign resurfaced this clip from a speech Spanberger gave.

Spanberger's campaign says it was taken out of context (she told supporters to make phone calls).

🧵2/12
Authorities arrested Michael Ray Strawmyer, 33, for threatening to take Kim Taylor's life.

The threat came just two weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination.

🚨'DISMANTLE LEFT-WING TERRORISM'

President Trump signed a memo mobilizing the federal government against Antifa, left-wing terrorism, and the funding networks that support them.

🧵1/12
“These are professional agitators, these are bad people and they’re paid a lot of money by rich people, some of whom we know,” Trump said of Antifa.

🧵2/12 Image
“This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa, to dismantle the organizations that have been carrying out these acts of political violence and terrorism,” @StephenM said.
