Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) said on Tuesday that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) needs to relook at the Souther Poverty Law Center’s tax-exempt status.
"They were founded decades ago, and they claim that their role was to fund lawsuits to eliminate the Democrats’ system of Jim Crow and segregation. Now, they’ve turned into just a serial defamer of their political opponents," Cotton said about the SPLC. "That’s why the IRS needs to relook at their tax-exempt status."
Cotton sent a letter to the IRS, urging the agency to investigate whether the SPLC should keep its classification as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization amid news reports of the organization’s turmoil and
"The business model has paid well," Cotton wrote in the letter. "The SPLC has accrued more than $500 million in assets. According to the group’s most recent financial statement, it holds $121 million offshore in non-U.S. equity funds. The SPLC uses these assets to pay its executives lavish salaries far higher than the comparable household average."
The Washington Free Beacon has previously reported about SPLC’s finances. In early March, the Free Beacon reported the group has $518 million in assets, with $120 million now offshore.
"I don’t know many charitable advisors who say it is best practice to send your endowment to overseas accounts in the Caribbean. That’s one of the reasons why Charity Watch gives them an "F" rating. A very well deserved "F" rating," Cotton said.
Cotton added that the organization has become a hate group themselves for defaming political opponents.
"As you said Tucker, they have really become kind of a hate group themselves. They have a so called ‘Hate Map’ and they use it to stigmatize their political opponents. Respectable, center-right organizations like the Family Research Council, or the Alliance Defending Freedom. It’s fine if you don’t agree with those organizations, there are plenty of groups on the left I don’t agree with, but I don’t try to stigmatize them as a hate group and then go pedal that to CNN, New York Times, or try and attack their donors," Cotton said.
The senator also referenced the recent turmoil at the organization. SPLC co-founder, Morris Dees, was recently fired over the turmoil among its treatment of its workers. Some workers have come out and described the work environment being toxic due to racism and sexism. Richard Cohen, the group’s president, has also stepped down.
"Again, a five hundred million dollar so-called charity that has systematic racial and sexist discrimination problems and at the same time it’s simply using that money to target its political opponents," Cotton said. "That’s not what American tax payers are subsidizing when we give people tax-exempt status. We give those things to churches, or adoption shelters, or shelters for battered women, not to defame political opponents, sexually harass every woman that works in your office, and discriminate against minorities."

Allegations surrounding former Vice President Joe Biden might be roiling he early stages of the Democratic primary race for 2020, but that didn’t stop President Donald Trump from using it to draw a big laugh this week from a roomful of Republican loyalists.
Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner Tuesday in Washington, Trump told the story of a general who helped defeat ISIS.
“I said, ‘General, come here, give me a kiss.’ I felt like Joe Biden,” Trump joked. “But I meant it.”
Trump’s joke resulted in a roar from the audience.

TRENDING: NY Needs Money So Desperately, It’s Considering Charging People To Enter Heart of NYC
Trump’s joke is in reference, of course, to the recent allegations of creepy conduct against Biden.
The first woman to come out against Biden was Lucy Flores, a former Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in Nevada, who detailed her allegation against Biden in a column for New York magazine’s The Cut on Friday.
Flores accused Biden of sniffing her hair and kissing the back of her head without her consent during a campaign event in 2014.

On Monday, former Democratic congressional aide Amy Lappos said that Biden put his hand around her neck and pulled her toward him to rub noses.
And in a piece published on Tuesday, The New York Times included the stories of two more women who said Biden had touched them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable.

It’s important to keep in mind that Biden isn’t being accused of sexual assault and he hasn’t been found guilty of any crimes. (Sexual crimes are no laughing matter.)

There’s no way of knowing what Biden’s intentions were with these women, but the left doesn’t generally apply nuance when it comes to issues of misconduct allegations — at least when it comes to men they’re politically motivated to destroy, like now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
If the left were consistent, the “MeToo” movement and insistence of unconditionally believing women should apply to Biden.
Let’s not forget that Trump was accused of kissing women without their consent after the “Access Hollywood” tapes came out in 2016.
If liberals were quick to attack Trump over what he called “locker room talk,” they should be extremely hard on Biden, especially when there is video evidence of Biden behaving exactly how his accusers described.
Again, it’s completely possible that Biden is innocent of bad intentions, even if the number of accusers is growing. But regardless, the far left’s rigid “believe women” dogma will ultimately harm the Democratic politician.
As Trump said on Tuesday, Biden is “being taken care of pretty well by the socialists. They got to him, our former vice president.”
“I was going to call him. I don’t know him well. I was going to say, ‘Welcome to the world, Joe. You having a good time, Joe?’”

The dominoes have fallen — the far left’s witch hunt for sexual predators has finally backfired.
Trump has the right idea by sitting back and cracking a few jokes at the left’s expense.

During his remarks Buttigieg told his audience a women is not truly free unless she can freely kill her baby.

“You’re not free if your reproductive choices are being dictated by male politicians in Washington,” he stated.

Students who disrupted a presentation and shouted “murder patrol” at a pair of Border Patrol agents on the campus of the University of Arizona are facing charges according to a letter published by the school’s president:
The incident between the protesting students and the Criminal Justice club members was a dramatic departure from our expectations of respectful behavior and support for free speech on this campus.
University police determined today they will be charging two of the students with interference with the peaceful conduct of an educational institution, a misdemeanor…
At the core of these inquiries is the University of Arizona’s commitment to free speech. The student club and the CBP officers invited by the students should have been able to hold their meeting without disruption. Student protest is protected by our support for free speech, but disruption is not.
The incident in question took place last month. The agents had been invited to speak to the Criminal Justice Association, a campus club, but a female protester spotted the agents through an open door and began loudly disrupting the presentation, comparing the agents to the KKK. When the organizer of the meeting tried to deal with the disruption by inviting the protester inside to listen, the protester continued mocking the agents as the “murder patrol” and said she didn’t feel safe on the campus with them present.
Here’s a video of the incident. The first clip shows what happened in the classroom. The second clip is the same protester, joined by several others, following the two agents out to their car while chanting “murder patrol.”
They follow them on their way out of the school continuing to yell Murder Patrol. Additionally, they meet up with a large group of far-left protesters chanting "Police and ICE same shit twice."

The person who led the protests told the student paper her name was Denisse:
Denisse, a Mexican-American studies major, organized the protest.
“Yesterday, Border Patrol was invited to campus to recruit at the career fair,” Denisse said. “They were also invited by the criminal justice club. I walked out of class and saw two Border Patrol agents in the hallway in Modern Languages, and I was like, ‘You’re supposed to be at the career fair that ended an hour ago.’ So then I was like, ‘Get out,’ and started chanting, disrupting that space until they left. Literally walked them all the way to their cars until they left.”
You’ll notice that Denisse’s version of events differs from the incident seen in the video clips. For one, she wasn’t just chanting at agents standing in a hallway. She’s interrupting a presentation in a classroom. The woman who attempted to defuse the situation tells the Washington Post that’s where this protest crossed the line:
Luisa Pinto, the president of the Criminal Justice Association, told the paper that the disruption had been a violation of her First Amendment rights.
“Her right to free speech only goes so far,” she said of the woman who was filming. “She has every right to scream and yell all she wants outside the building, but the moment she’s inside a building and interfering with our education . . . our rights were violated.”
Pinto told the Daily Wildcat that she was the woman in the video who had invited Denisse to come in, then called the police after Denisse declined. Her goal had simply been to try to defuse tension, she said. She added that the club is strictly apolitical and invites representatives from different law enforcement agencies to speak to members about career opportunities and their hiring processes.
I’m not in favor of bringing charges against people for speaking up, even when they’re being obnoxious and derogatory as is the case here. However, it seems to me that by bringing her protest into the classroom, Denisse was attempting to no-platform the agents who had been invited to speak by a school club. I’m still not convinced the proper response to that is misdemeanor charges but I do think some kind of discipline is appropriate, at a minimum a remedial course in the First Amendment. The heckler’s veto cannot be allowed to prevail on college campuses.

For a century, the socialist movement has been content to advance their ideology through the cover of darkness and deceit. Reforming education, infiltrating Hollywood and the news media, and stretching their tentacles throughout state and federal government agencies.
As Norman Thomas famously stated:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
Today, socialists seem confident enough in their reach to come out from the cover of darkness to proudly proclaim the virtuousness of their ideology. Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Elizabeth Warren and a whole host of other far-left loons are touting the virtues of “free stuff” to the mass of ill-informed rubes.
The benefit (for us) of them moving into the light, is that it begins to expose the end-game. Socialism is a great system, for a few. The socialist sales pitch is that everyone will be granted a myriad of free things, provided for by their benevolent government masters. Free healthcare, free education, free housing, free transportation, and a universal basic income.
Sandy O’s Green New Deal offers to provide
“Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.”
Where do I sign? Or, more particularly, who do I need to vote for, to have all my needs taken care of, so that I might lead a productive life of leisure? Of course, as most thinking people know, there are two classes of person who have their all their needs covered – children and slaves.
Recent events have begun to expose the winners and losers of our utopian socialist future. The winners are the cultural/political elite and leadership ranks of the social activists. The losers are the rubes, who think that they’re part of the elite class.
Socialism, apart from being an economic theory, is about the consolidation of power. Those who have it, and those who don’t. The college bribery scandal, the bum-rush of our southern border, and the Jussie Smollett affair, if nothing else, expose a set of rules for those who work within the system, and another for those who lord over it. A free society is premised on the rule of law, and a societal agreement by the people to abide by said rule of law.
Socialism is premised on connections. The political elite in Washington, lobbying firms, union leadership, and the social/cultural elite in Hollywood, in newsrooms, on college campuses, and within the leadership ranks of the myriad intersectional activist groups established to advance specific grievances. In this vein, the few in leadership will benefit from the consolidation of power, as they will have the ear of those who wield the sword. The myriad activist groups will benefit, as they’ll be the ones called upon to wield the sword.
Which brings us to the rubes. The rubes (or stooges), are the much larger segment of the populace who are being convinced that socialism will be the great leveler. That the current system is systemically unfair to those looking to advance, and by voting into power those who seek to grant them an “equal share” of the redistributed pie, will be able to live their lives as the elites do.
Historically, the elites remain elites, as long as they toe the party line. The rubes will remain the rubes, only with less power and demonstrably less personal liberty, than they did when they were free.
Our challenge then is to explain to the rubes (daily) that they’re better off free, within a system that provides them an opportunity to advance, than a system that guarantees their bondage.
