SPLC: DEI's Attack Dog TYLER O'NEIL The movement for diversity, equity, and inclusion may have lost a prominent advocate in Harvard president Claudine Gay, but it continues to dominate America’s institutions. Worse, the Biden administration has apparently enlisted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), one of DEI’s most notorious ideological enforcers, in its crusade against “domestic terrorism.” … In allying itself with the SPLC, the Biden administration overlooks the center’s many scandals. Critics have long noted that the organization exaggerates terror threats to drive donations to its endowment—now worth more than $730 million—and uses offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands. Amid a sexual harassment and racial discrimination controversy in 2019 that saw the SPLC fire its own co-founder, a former employee came forward calling the accusations of hate a “highly profitable scam.” Worse, the SPLC itself could plausibly be charged with having ties to domestic terrorism. https://www.city-journal.org/article/deis-attack-dog Anyone who has done any research on the SPLC knows that it is a corrupt organization and that no credence should be given to anything it puts out. .

White House Forced to 'Relocate' Staffers During Pro-Hamas Attack The White House was forced to relocate staffers, the Secret Service said, after pro-Palestine demonstrators threw objects at law enforcement and damaged security fencing around the presidential residence. A video from Saturday evening shows demonstrators chanting “All walls will fall!” as they shake the White House security fence while standing in Lafayette Park. Another video shows law enforcement holding the fence as demonstrators chant, “F**k Joe Biden!” Other videos show protestors throwing projectiles over the White House security fence and chanting phrases such as “Free Palestine” and “Yemen, Yemen, make us proud. Turn this invasion around,” referring to how Houthi rebels have been attacking ships in the Red Sea since Oct. 7, 2023, and a U.S. coalition responded last week with military force. https://justthenews.com/government/white-house/white-house-staff-relocated-after-pro-palestine-protest-turns-violent ,

2nd House Democrat Calls for Biden to Fire Austin. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., says he would fire Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin if he were President Joe Biden. “I can’t imagine that happening at the lowest levels of the military chain of command. Like where I was as a mere lieutenant platoon commander in Iraq, I can’t even imagine it happening,” Moulton told NewsNation. “This is a breakdown in that chain of command. And the commander in chief needs to make a decision here.” “It’s up to the president as to whether he fires Secretary Austin, but I tell you what, he needs to send a decisive message that this is never gonna happen again,” Moulton added https://www.newsmax.com/politics/moulton-biden-austin/2024/01/12/id/1149419/

Check Out Adam Schiff's 'Democracy' Plan to Destroy Our Constitutional Republic By Nick Arama There are a lot of reasons not to vote for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Ca) for Senate, not the least of which is how he has consistently tried to lie to the American people when it came to the Russian collusion hoax, claiming he had "evidence" he never managed to produce. But he just offered up another reason why he should be defeated: his "pro-democracy" plan. It is definitely a pro-"pure democracy," i.e. mob rule. An overhaul of American institutions? It would take a sledgehammer to our Constitutional Republic and what the Founders intended. The very reason we have an Electoral College is to make sure we are not controlled by the states that might have huge populations, like California and New York. We have a Supreme Court that is supposed to be independent and not neutered by the politicians, yet he wants to destroy that as well because it's the one thing that the Democrats don't think they can control at this point. Schiff's "Defending Democracy" isn't about defending the Constitution, it's about increasing Democratic control and undermining our institutions. This is the plan. This is how the Democrats want to turn our county away from its intent. The basis of the country is built on individual rights, the rule of law, and the Constitution. It's not built on the tyranny of the majority. It was to limit the power of the government and its intrusions into the lives of Americans, not to rip away all those protections. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/01/13/adam-schiff-democracy-plan-n2168661 .

THERE IS NO DEBATE—THERE WILL BE NO DEBATES By Steven Hayward If the election comes down to Trump versus Biden again as is likely, it is a certainty that there will be no debates between them—the first presidential race in 50 years without debates. The Biden White House is already floating the trial balloons for refusing to debate Trump while concealing the real reason—they know Biden is not longer up to it. He can no longer do press conferences or one-on-one interview with friendly reporters. Trump will be merciless on the campaign trail about this cowardice, and if he can stay disciplined (a big “if” with Trump), he will likely get under Biden’s thin skin. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/01/there-is-no-debate-there-will-be-no-debates.php .

Nothing to see here.

Today I saw more evidence of just how awful the behavior of the activists was during the hearing before the vote to condemn Israel. An honest-to-God Jewish man who lost five family members in the Hamas attacks and who had two cousins taken hostage was heckled by the activists. Five of his family members were killed, and they make pig-snorting sounds at him. Is it any wonder that he said he didn’t feel safe in the city? I wouldn’t have felt safe with those people around me at San Francisco City Hall. Even if I supported the resolution, I would have been ashamed to be associated with this thuggish behavior, but when you are a member of a cult, you exalt in such things. It is a form of signaling to others in your group that you are willing to do the most grotesque things in order to show your allegiance to the cause. Is this what we are becoming in America? No, but this is what the Left has already become. I support free speech, even very offensive speech, short of incitement, but free speech and bullying are two different things. Intimidating people and shouting them down isn’t speech, it is an act. For some reason, we have completely blurred the line between the two. I would have been disgusted by those activists testifying before the committee with their hateful opinions but I would support their right to do so. What I can’t support is their preventing others from speaking either through shouting them down, intimidating them, or blocking their ability to do so. That, for me, was at issue in many of the college demonstrations. I was appalled by what they said, but if it had remained speech I would have felt that it didn’t cross the line. But actions–intimidation, blocking access to spaces, interrupting classes, and similar aggressions–cross the line between speech and action, even at times assault or wrongful imprisonment. Yet here we are. This is now common in America. Thanks, Leftists! You have elevated our discourse so much. Compassion and all that blah blah. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/01/11/this-is-san-francisco-n604475

The Truth Hertz: Rental Giant to Shed 20,000 EVs -- and Gas Up Just a few months ago, Hertz committed to making electric vehicles a quarter of its rental fleet. They had already announced an intent to partner with Tesla as a major provider for their future fleet, which had pushed Tesla’s value even higher. Supposedly, the scale of the demand and usage would lower costs across the board and make fleet maintenance all that much easier for Hertz and other rental agencies. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/01/11/the-truth-hertz-rental-giant-to-shed-20000-evs-and-gas-up-n604419
