Federalist Wire:  ... Elon Musk, the powerhouse behind X, Tesla, and SpaceX—and a sharp-minded ex-advisor to President Donald Trump—demanded the Southern Poverty Law Center’s immediate closure early Thursday, branding it a vile propagator of division. “The SPLC is an evil organization that spreads hate propaganda relentlessly,” Musk posted on X. “It needs to be shut down.” His fiery takedown targeted a link from conservative firebrand Mike Cernovich, who spotlighted the FBI’s wise decision to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League—a once-respected Jewish watchdog now tarnished by left-wing overreach on antisemitism tracking. Conservatives have hammered the ADL for lumping slain patriot Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA into its extremism playbook, a blatant hit job that exposes the group’s descent into partisan witch hunts. “Is the SPLC involved at all with the FBI?” Cernovich wrote. “The SPLC incited a mass shooting against a Christian group, the Family Research Council, and pr...

  Victor Davis Hanson: ... We have House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , D-N.Y., holding a bat, as if he’s gonna club somebody. And then, he spoke for no reason for eight hours in the House. That didn’t compare with Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. He did a pseudo-filibuster for 25 hours. Almost weekly, there’s a video cut by representatives and senators on the Democratic side with the S-word or the F-word. And then we have Sen. Bernie Sanders , I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., going to these oligarch rallies on private jets, damning the oligarchical class, when they are the people who fund the Democratic Party. That’s one level of leftist outrage. Then we have the internet mob. And they do everything from canonize and glorify the assassin Luigi Mangione—who killed the UnitedHealthcare executive—to even more grotesquely and ghoulishly, now they’re on the internet suggesting that the over a hundred people who were killed, many of them children, deserved what they got for,...

  Cannon: On May 20, President Donald Trump launched the Golden Dome missile defense initiative. I was in college when President Ronald Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative—initially mocked by its opponents as “Star Wars.” Trump named Space Force Gen. Michael Guetlein as the Golden Dome project’s leader, a tell that the system will be primarily space-based. Technology in two areas has altered the equation for missile defense, likely making defending against nuclear missiles—even hypersonic ones, less expensive than building the offensive nuclear weapons . This was not the case when Reagan announced SDI in 1983. The Great Communicator said then that, “What if free people could live secure in the knowledge that their security did not rest upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter a Soviet attack, that we could intercept and destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil or that of our allies? … this is a formidable, technical task … wil...

  “We built the factory in Austin in less time than it would have taken to get permits in California.” - Elon Musk Musk is making the right move as more of his business is now in Texas.  Ironically, Austin is probably closer to the California cities than any other city in Texas.  California was not always this bad, but its citizens have made the tragic mistake of electing too many Democrat control freaks.

 Rick Moran: A Minnesota prosecutor who refused to charge a vandal who keyed several Tesla vehicles with a felony is under investigation by the Department of Justice for taking a defendant's race into consideration in plea negotiations. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said the DoJ’s Civil Rights Division will review whether policies in the Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty's office constituted “a pattern or practice of depriving persons of rights, privileges or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.” Moriarty's office issued a memo last month directing prosecutors to consider a defendant’s racial identity among other factors in evaluating whether a defendant should be offered a plea deal. “While racial identity and age are not appropriate grounds for departures [from the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines], proposed resolutions should consider the person charged as a whole person, including their racia...

Nick Arama: ... DOGE has saved $160 billion so far. They spoke about some of the stunning things they had found, including that close to $5 trillion was paid out by the Treasury without a budget code. That meant no one could trace where the money was going, "It could have been for anything," a DOGE member explained. There was also a "$4 billion COVID fund in the Department of Education." A DOGE member explained there were no receipts required to draw down money from that account. They said the money had been used to rent out "Caesar's Palace for parties" among other things. So DOGE implemented a requirement that before you draw down money, you have to upload a receipt. It's wild that this wasn't already normal practice. But Elon Musk explained that the drawing down of the money stopped when they asked for receipts. "They were basically partying on the taxpayer money," Musk explained. They also alleged they found some wild things when ...
