According to Just the News,  the indictment alleges the SPLC used $4.1 million in tax-exempt donations to pay individuals inside extremist organizations and influence members to join hate groups.

 

White House reclassifies federal epidemiologists and other scientists from civil servants to “at-will” hires– www.scientificamerican.com

The White House on Wednesday moved to strip civil service protections from about 8,000 federal workers, including many working at public health agencies.

The executive order effectively transforms these positions—which include “epidemiologist”, “health scientist” and “toxicologist” jobs—into “at-will” positions—meaning they can be readily fired without cause. The job category, initially called Schedule F and now called Schedule Policy/Career, strips these federal workers of protections meant to prevent political interference.

According to the order, “policy-influencing positions” must be transferred to the new status, thereby “ensuring that such employees can be removed for misconduct or poor performance is essential to protecting democratic self-government by an elected President.” The move reflects President Donald Trump’s long-standing complaint of a “deep state” of federal workers resistant to his policies, and he has for years called for the schedule change in order to fire civil servants he views as impediments to his policies.

Today, our Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC) attorneys are in Tazewell County Circuit Court for the first hearing over our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the unlimited abortion amendment planned for this November’s ballot. Please pray for them!

Learn more about our case here: FFLC Files Lawsuit Challenging VA Abortion Amendment

At issue in today’s hearing is whether the leftist pro-abortion group “Virginians for Reproductive Freedom” (VRF) has the right to formally intervene in our lawsuit and join the government to oppose us. VRF is a “referendum committee” that has already raised $500,000 and plans to pour millions more into Virginia to persuade voters to support the abortion ballot initiative. We believe Virginia case law is clear that they have no right to intervene.

Support for Gay Marriage DROPS. Was the Trans Issue the Poison Pill? – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

This takes us to an eye-opening new Gallup poll that was released on June 3:

Approval of same-sex marriage, moral acceptance of gay and lesbian relations, and endorsement of gender changes are all down from peaks reached in the early 2020s.

While most Americans still favor legal same-sex marriages, the 65% who do so today is down six percentage points from the peak in 2022 and 2023. Similarly, the percentage viewing gay or lesbian relations as morally acceptable, 62%, has not been lower since 2016. And the share of Americans who consider changing one’s gender morally acceptable has declined eight points over the past five years, to 38%.

On three key LGBTQ issues — same-sex marriage, the morality of homosexuality, and gender identity — Gallup’s polling data told the same exact story: Popularity for all three skyrocketed between the 2010s and the early 2020s. The future, it seemed, was pro-trans and pro-LGBTQ.

But over the past few years, the pendulum swung HARD in the opposite direction:

Between 1996 and 2022, the percentage of U.S. adults in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage increased by 44 points, from 27% to 71%. In 2024, the figure dipped to 69%, and it has shown a marginal decline each year since.

Gallup first asked about the morality of same-sex relations in 2001, when 40% said they were morally acceptable. By 2022, 71% held that view, before a sharp drop to 64% in 2023, holding at about that level during the past three years.

When Gallup first asked about changing one’s gender in 2021, 46% found it morally acceptable, and 51% found it morally wrong. Today, those numbers stand at 38% and 57%, respectively.

The Southern Poverty Law Center built its brand on fighting hate groups. Donors gave it more than $100 million a year because they believed the SPLC was destroying the KKK, the neo-Nazis, the Aryan Nations. But… a new federal indictment says the SPLC quietly funneled about $4.1 million in donor money to the super-pale leaders it was publicly attacking. (Doug Ross)

the most explosive allegations in this indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are not simply financial irregularities—they amount to accusations of a long-running scheme to secretly funnel donor money to leaders of white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and Ku Klux Klan organizations while publicly fundraising off opposition to those same groups.

Both the national president of the American Front and the Imperial Wizard of the United Klan were allegedly on the SPLC payroll.

Martina Navratilova, a tennis legend and lifelong Democrat, says that her party had an opportunity to have a listening session regarding transgender athletes and rights for women.

However, they never did.

A winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, as well as one of the most famous openly gay people in the history of sports, Navratilova recently spoke with OutKick in an interview and said that she tried to send a message to former Vice President Kamala Harris amid the Republican Party blasting their Democratic counterparts in the 2024 campaign cycle regarding transgender athletes and women’s rights.

“I tried to get to Kamala Harris’ campaign,” said Navratilova to OutKick. “Nobody would listen to me.”

According to Navratilova, it wasn’t just a problem with the Harris campaign, it was a problem for the Democrats overall.

According to drag performer Malaysia Ravor Black, “Children need to hear that encouragement” when it comes to identifying under the LGBT rainbow. And if you are surprised by this, you are not paying attention.

Per Fox 8:

The Longue Vue House and Gardens were colored with rainbows Sunday (May 31) to kick off the annual LGBTQ celebration known as Pride Month.

Local performer Malaysia Ravor Black said these early experiences with the gay community are the most important foundation for acceptance later in life.

“There’s so much negativity going on in the world right now when it comes to LGBTQIA,” Black said. “Children need to hear that encouragement. Children need to hear that they matter. Children need to hear that everything in their life isn’t negative. It’s an opportunity to push them to be better adults and push them to be more inclusive of everything around them.”

Last month many mathematicians were shocked by OpenAI’s announcement that artificial intelligence had solved geometry’s famous “unit distance” problem.

For some, the achievement was exciting. But researchers also worry that AI technology, if left unchecked, will change their field for the worse. To address those fears, a group of mathematicians, computer scientists, and math historians have released guidelines to prevent AI from steamrolling their discipline.

Among their most important prescriptions: disclose the use of AI in research, ensure all papers are peer-reviewed and level the playing field between academia and for-profit companies through, for instance, legal resources and public funding.

Anti-government protests demanding the resignation of Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz have continued as the country remains mired in crisis, local media reported.

Demonstrators have set up roadblocks and blocked highways at 59 locations across the country’s nine administrative regions.

Based on the latest road map published by the Bolivian Highway Administration, transportation has been disrupted in the Andean regions of La Paz, Oruro and Potosi, as well as in the central regions of Chuquisaca and Cochabamba and the eastern region of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

Attempts by security forces to reopen the 227-kilometre highway between La Paz and Oruro as part of an operation called the White Flag Humanitarian Corridor were met with fierce resistance from protesters, who reportedly threw dynamite sticks and stones at police.

Beaver Scout Refuses To Bow To Allah During Prayer Demonstration On Field Trip– www.louderwithcrowder.com

EXCERPT:

Beaver Scouts in Scotland took a trip to the Central Scotland Islamic Centre for reasons that will never advance the West. Nonetheless, on that trip, the scouts, boys aged 6-8, bowed to Allah. This should be controversial because there is absolutely zero reason as to why these kids are being religiously indoctrinated. Nonetheless, one boy refused to participate in the Muslim prayer, and that puts him on the right side of history.

According to 5Pillars, “the largest English language Muslim news site in Europe, Australia and the Americas,” the clip “was taken during a Beavers Scouts educational visit to various houses of worship, including a mosque, as part of the ‘Faith Activity Badge.’ The visit took place at Stirling Islamic Centre in Scotland a few days ago.”

In other words, according to local media, this is not indoctrination; it is education. And to call that a bunch of gobbledygook would be an understatement. And LOL to the fact that they just had to throw in the “Islamophobia” slander. In case it was not clear, no one buys that crap anymore.

In order to achieve this badge, Scouts can visit a place of worship and tell other Scouts about what they learned. This can include visiting a mosque to learn about Islam. That explains why they did what they did, but the fact that this is encouraged is proof that Europe has fallen.

In the pursuit of being so incredibly tolerant and inclusive, the left has favored whatever this is; the fact that this is not controversial for many people is a scandal in itself.

In late March around 15 religious thinkers met with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic to discuss one of the strangest and most consequential questions now facing the AI industry: How do you teach a chatbot to be good?

The invitations to these meetings had arrived in different ways. Greg Cootsona’s came via e-mail. Brian Patrick Green’s came via a friend of a friend after Anthropic asked for suggested names. Both ended up in a series of conversations with the company about Claude, Anthropic’s chatbot, and the moral framework meant to guide how it behaves.

The aim wasn’t to make the chatbot Bible-thumping or pious. But it was an acknowledgment that centuries-old traditions of moral reasoning might offer insights to a five-year-old frontier AI lab whose systems are becoming more capable, more persuasive and harder to govern by simple rules.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – A new U.S. Department of Education (DOE) rule aimed at curbing “useless” degree programs that leave students high in debt but short on career prospects could have unintended consequences for religious education, several leaders of Christian colleges are warning.

Tucked within President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging One Big Beautiful Bill Act (BBB) last year was a so-called “do no harm” standard for federal student loan eligibility, which would require eligible degree programs to yield higher earnings for graduates than those without the degree. Last October, American University estimated that only about 1.8% of overall students were in programs likely to be negatively impacted by the change.

On April 20, DOE published regulations implementing the new rule by “replacing the former debt-to-earnings (‘D/E’) metric with a revised earnings premium measure, expanding transparency, and strengthening institutional compliance standards.” A “revised version of the earnings premium measure would apply to both GE [gainful employment] and non-GE programs; those failing the earnings premium measure in two of three consecutive years would lose Direct Loan eligibility, though limited extensions may be granted when an orderly program closure […] is in students’ best interest.”

 As AI agents are integrated into an organization, enterprises will need to pivot from a set of linear processes and steps, to rewiring work in a very different way, explains Shah. That’s because the value in AI agents isn’t as another layer in an existing technology stack but as a connective tissue, he explains, moving between or across layers to coordinate a high-level task or retrieve and interpret data from multiple discrete applications. AI agents can create “a true competitive differentiation for an enterprise” by making decisions based on this capacity to contextualize, he says. “That is where the next battleground will be.”

To build this connective tissue, leaders need to adapt their technology stack to surface higher quality decisions from AI agents, prioritizing access to multiple datasets and applications simultaneously to develop tacit knowledge. “Organizations that make this architectural shift become genuinely more adaptive,” says Chatterjee. “When a new business requirement emerges, you don’t wait six months for a software vendor to build a feature. You configure an AI employee using natural language and connect it to the systems it needs. The time from business to production workflow drops from months to days.”
