Two time failed Georgia Democrat governor candidate Stacey Abrams recently dropped a video defending the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has now been exposed for paying to manufacture racism that they could fundraise on.

You can’t really blame Abrams for doing this, after all, grift recognizes grift.

In a way, she is the perfect person to try to defend this.

Breitbart News reports:

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and Democrat superstar Stacey Abrams defended the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after the Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the organization with fraud.

Last week, a federal grand jury in Alabama charged the SPLC with several counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, per Breitbart News.

Speaking with Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt, Abrams defended the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “legal organ that was founded in the south” to combat authoritarian rule.

“Often what you see on the national stage got incubated in the south, and so we know, in the south, we’ve always needed, for example, litigation as one of the tools to fight back against authoritarianism,” she said. “Whether that was Jim Crow, the KKK, the antisemitic behaviors that were manifest in the deep south.”

“The anti-Asian, anti-Latino. If there’s anti-community, it probably had some genesis in the South. And the SLC has spent its decades fighting back,” she continued. “It recognizes what hate groups are and says we’re not going to let you get away with it, we’re gonna tell people about you. It invests in communities and says we’re not just going to say this is wrong, we’re going to help invest in what makes it right.”

We have a fraud problem in America. The SPLC is a major part of that.

CNN’s Scott Jennings had another banner moment last night, once again proving he is the only reason to ever watch the liberal network.

One of the liberal contributors made an ignorant comment about Republicans and black candidates in Virginia. Jennings quickly reminded him that the GOP just ran a black candidate for governor in Virginia but she lost to the white, Democrat, Karen candidate.

It’s amazing that the liberal contributor walked right into that one.

Transcript via Overton News:

Scott Jennings leaves former Daily Beast editor-in-chief speechless in an embarrassing live moment on CNN.

John Avlon attempted to make the case that Republicans were so racist they haven’t elected a black Republican governor since the reconstruction era.

That’s when Jennings fired back with a SAVAGE reminder.

AVLON: “We’ve obviously got some serious steps. We haven’t had an African American Republican governor since reconstruction. Um, I mean, you know, there’s unfortunately an imbalance in the two parties—”

JENNINGS: “The Republicans tried to elect one in Virginia.”

[Avlon looked stunned]

AVLON: “Okay…”

[Jennings laughs]

JENNINGS: “Then you got a white Democrat who gerrymandered the state!”

“It’s all crumbling John!”

CNN quickly ended the segment and cut to commercial.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Thursday testified for the second day in a row before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Hegseth and General Dan Caine, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified on the ongoing Iran conflict.

The US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran at the end of February.

Hegseth sparred with Democrat Senators but he really ripped into Stolen Valor Senator Richard Blumenthal.

Stolen Valor Blumenthal, for decades, lied about being a ‘war hero’ in the Vietnam War.

Blumenthal did not serve in Vietnam. In fact, he joined the Marine Corps Reserve and received five draft deferments according to military records.

After Blumenthal was exposed for lying about his Vietnam War service, he came out and absurdly claimed that he had merely “misspoken” and really meant to say that he served “during the Vietnam era.”

“A few months into a historic military success in Iran and you want to call it a defeat, and it’s defeatist Democrats like you that cloud the mind of the American people — and would otherwise fully support preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon!” Hegseth said to Blumenthal.

Blumenthal tried to interrupt Hegseth but it didn’t work.

WATCH:

In October President Trump demanded Blumenthal be investigated for lying about his military service:

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam.

He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” – And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD,” Trump said on Truth Social.

The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate.

It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

Greg Gutfeld is the new king of late night and Jesse Watters is apparently the king of 8 PM.

The two FOX News hosts are dominating cable news ratings and it’s easy to see why. They offer something different than liberal hosts on liberal networks who have been shrieking the same anti-Trump crap every night for more than a decade now.

The only thing MSNOW has going for it is that they come right out and admit that they’re basically ‘resistance’ TV, whereas CNN still tries to pretend that they’re somehow playing it down the middle.

Mediaite reports:

Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters Dominate Cable News Ratings, MS Now And CNN Notch Prime Time Gains

Fox News continued its cable news ratings dominance in April with hosts Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters pulling in the biggest numbers, while CNN and MS NOW also notched prime time gains.

In Monday through Sunday prime time total viewers, Fox averaged 2.9 million viewers and 284,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic. Their totals across the day averaged 1.8 million and 173,000 in 25-54. April marked Fox’s third-most-watched April in the network’s history, according to Nielsen data.

The biggest numbers came from The Five, which averaged 3.8 million viewers, and Jesse Watters Primetime, which averaged 3.6 million. Those were followed by Sean Hannity’s show at 3.2 million and Gutfeld! with 3 million. Bret Baier over on Special Report also averaged around 3 million viewers overall. Those five shows took the top five spots for cable news for the month. Watters and Gutfeld are both co-hosts of The Five as well as hosting their eponymous shows — easily making them the two most-watched personalities in the cable news business.

In the 25-54 demo, Fox also took many of the top spots, though Rachel Maddow’s once-weekly show took fifth with around 280,000. Ahead of her landed Gutfeld! (349,000), Jesse Watters Primetime (335,000), The Five (329,000), and Hannity (319,000).

It certainly doesn’t hurt Gutfeld or Watters that they have both gotten so good at going after Jessica Tarlov on The Five.

Of course, she makes it pretty easy for them too.

Tomorrow on May 1st, teacher unions in Chicago have decided to once again hold ‘May Day’ protests, which will obviously be aimed at Trump and all things Republican.

As part of these protests, Chicago Schools are going to allow students to attend, and if they choose to go, they can be shuttled to the protests using tax dollars.

Aside from the fact that a significant number of students in Chicago schools can’t read at grade level, how is any of this even legal?

Using tax dollars to transport students to political protests? Where is the outrage?

This report is from PBS:

Chicago labor unions, community groups, students and other advocates are expected to participate in events around the city on Friday in recognition of May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day.

Thousands of Chicagoans are expected to participate in a May Day rally and march starting at Union Park, 1501 W. Randolph St., and ending at Daley Plaza downtown. Other related actions are scheduled in different parts of the city in the morning ahead of the march.

The main rally is expected to begin at 1 p.m. in Union Park. The march is set to step off at 2 p.m.

The expected May Day actions come after disagreements between Chicago Public Schools CEO Macquline King and the Chicago Teachers Union over whether to close schools on Friday to allow students and teachers to participate in demonstrations…

Chicago Public Schools will still hold classes on May 1 after reaching an agreement with CTU that will also allow students and staff to attend labor rallies.

The union said the school district has pledged to provide buses for field trips for students and educators who choose to attend the afternoon May Day rally in Union Park.

Imagine how much better off Chicago would be if these teacher unions put as much energy into teaching students to read as they do to protest.

Taxpayers should be outraged. They’re being robbed and so are their children.
