Southern Poverty Law Center up to its eyeballs in legal stuff

U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Alabama reported that between 2014 and 2023, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan and National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party). 

And you wonder why they always attacked conservatives and supported leftists.

A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme. The FBI investigated this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).

An indictment is merely an allegation of course, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

“The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public," said FBI Director Kash Patel. "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups - even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes. That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.”

The SPLC is a non-profit organization headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, whose mission, according to its website during the relevant time period, was to be a “catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people.” [Not to include Republicans, conservatives and anyone who even thought of voting for President Trump.]

According to the indictment starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent and extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, or who had infiltrated violent extremist groups at the SPLC’s direction. Unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website. 

“Donors gave their money believing they were supporting the fight against violent extremism,” said Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson. “As alleged, the SPLC instead diverted a portion of those funds to benefit individuals and groups they claimed to oppose. That kind of deception undermines public trust and social cohesion.”

"Today’s indictment reflects that no one, no organization, is above the law,” said Special Agent in Charge Sara J. Jones with the FBI-Mobile Field Office. “Charitable donors deserve transparency about how their contributions will be used, and those who betray that trust through concealment and fraudulent means must be held accountable. The alleged fraudulent activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center sowed hate-filled discord and spurred criminal conduct as set forth in the indictment. The FBI will continue to work tirelessly to protect the American public from financial crimes and to pursue justice against those who violate public trust."

Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including: Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, Unite the Right, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party), American Front.

Holy hypocrisy Bat Person!

According to the indictment, the objective of the scheme and artifice was to obtain money via donations through materially false representations and omissions about what the donated funds would be used for.

In order to covertly pay the individuals, the SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities. The covert nature of the accounts allowed the SPLC to disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid the individuals. In order to keep the scheme going, the SPLC made a series of false statements related to the operation of the accounts.

A conviction will result in the forfeiture of financial gains from the alleged illegal activities.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel made the announcement in Washington.

The details contained in the civil forfeiture complaint are allegations only, but c'mon, this has been going on since bell bottoms were in vogue. Time to close them down.

So Biden pardoned and gave clemency to people whose cases he never checked out

Joe Biden and Meera Sachdiva

It's one thing to 'shoot from the hip,'  but it's a totally different thing to shoot from the hip while wearing a blindfold and falling up a flight of stairs.

In one pardon granted by the alleged President, a "Massachusetts woman on Biden’s clemency list was sentenced for ‘lethal’ fentanyl trafficking conspiracy," according to the Boston Herald. This woman led a "large-scale criminal enterprise that reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits and caused untold misery."

"Former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell stole $53 million from the little town, a crime so notorious that a documentary was made -- highlighting that she perpetrated the largest case of municipal fraud in American history," Politico reported.

Crundwell, the Dixon, Illinois comptroller who stole the money to fund a lavish lifestyle of expensive homes, dream vacations, and some serious bling, was sentenced to 20 years. She served less than half that time.

“With my deteriorating health condition and the danger of the Covid 19 pandemic, I feel like I have been given a death sentence,” she wrote to the judge, asking to be released during the pandemic.

Perhaps most incredibly, the "Cash for Kids" POS judge, Mark Claravella, in Pennsylvania who wrongly sent dozens of minors to a for-profit prison and got kickbacks for it, was released without any examination of the facts of his case. This garbage human being should be thrown in jail for years after committing such a crime in these kids.

"The White House commuted the sentence of the judge at the center of a notorious 'kids-for-cash' scandal without considering the specifics of his case, beyond whether it fit into a broad set of criteria," reports Politico. We can assume that all of the 1500 cases of these prisoners were also examined just as thoroughly.

Perhaps one of the worst cases Biden gave clemency to was with Meera Sachdeva, a Mississippi doctor who was sentenced to 20 years in the slammer in 2012. She defrauded Medicare and was required to pay $8,200,000 to her former cancer facility where she provided cancer patients with diluted chemotherapy drugs and old needles. One such patient claimed to have gotten HIV from a needle used by her clinic.

While it seems obvious no examinations of the criminal cases were actually reviewed, the White House had the temerity to say that those who received clemency had demonstrated rehabilitation and “a strong commitment to making their communities safer.” In addition to commuting sentences for nearly 1,500 individuals on home confinement, Biden pardoned 39 people convicted of non-violent offenses.

“Together, these actions build on the President’s record of criminal justice reform to help reunite families, strengthen communities, and reintegrate individuals back into society,” the White House said in its announcement. “The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms.”

Among those receiving clemency was Daniel Fillerup, an Alabama doctor sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally distributing fentanyl which led to a fatal overdose. The Department of Justice stated that Fillerup “directly contributed to the opioid epidemic.” Another recipient was Wendy Hechtman, who was serving 15 years for running a drug operation connected to a spike in overdose deaths in Nebraska in 2017.

Despite the controversial backgrounds of some recipients, the White House praised President Biden's clemency decisions, emphasizing his dedication to criminal justice reform. They also mentioned that more such actions are expected before Biden's term ends.

"While today’s announcement marks important progress, there is more to come. President Biden will continue to review clemency petitions and deliver criminal justice reform in a manner that advances equity and justice, promotes public safety, supports rehabilitation and reentry, and provides meaningful second chances,” the White House concluded in its announcement.

Biden blocked by judge from giving Obamacare to DACA recipients

A federal judge in North Dakota on Monday blocked the Biden administration from putting into action a new policy that would have made some illegal immigrants eligible for government-supported health care.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor agreed to stop a new rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that would have let people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status sign up for Obamacare. Traynor stated that Kansas and the 18 Republican attorneys general who challenged the policy were likely to win, so he issued a stay against it.

Traynor pointed out that CMS broke the law when it decided to include DACA recipients in the definition of "lawfully present" in the U.S. DACA recipients are people who entered the country illegally as children with their parents and were protected from deportation by an executive action from President Barack Obama.

“The authority granted to CMS by the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is to ascertain whether an individual meets the requirements for lawful status. It by no means allows the agency to circumvent congressional authority and redefine the term ‘lawfully present,’” Traynor wrote.

“As it currently stands, the ACA does not allow federal healthcare subsidies or coverage for aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States,” he added.

Traynor also agreed with the Republican attorneys general that the policy could encourage illegal immigrants to stay in their states because of the healthcare benefits.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who led the lawsuit, celebrated the decision, saying, “Big win for the rule of law. Congress never intended that illegal aliens should receive Obama care benefits. Indeed, two laws prohibit them from receiving such benefits. The Biden administration tried to break those laws. But we fought back, and defeated the Justice Department.”

The states involved in the lawsuit were Ohio, Idaho, Nebraska, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Texas, Florida, and Arkansas. They argued that the rule was arbitrary, capricious, and would encourage more illegal immigration.

In response, CMS mentioned they were reviewing the judge's decision but couldn't comment further.

This rule change was opposed by President-elect Donald Trump, whose campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt called it “unfair and unsustainable” back in May.

“Joe Biden's handouts for illegal immigrants are especially devastating to Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and union workers who are forced to watch their jobs and public resources stolen by people who illegally entered our country,” Leavitt, Trump's incoming press secretary, said at the time.

Last month, another judge overturned a different Biden administration program that would have given legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.

Islamic super scholar arrested on child pornography charges

Wisam Sharieff

Wisam Sharieff, a former AlMaghrib Institute teacher of the Quran, has been arrested and charged with a felony involving a minor girl. 

For this he was dismissed earlier this week and is currently being held in a Texas jail pending trial. The judge considers him to be a flight risk and due to the disgusting nature of his alleged offense, he is thought to be a potential danger to the community.

According to Alabama court documents, the fallen imam was busted by the FBI for conspiracy to produce child pornography.

An affidavit by the FBI agent testifies that Sharieff’s wife saw the disgusting videos of a minor female child watching adult pornography on Sharieff's phone. The wife also state that the young girl's mother was explaining the sexual acts the child was viewing to her. The mother is an Alabama resident who was Sharieff's student of Islam.

The affidavit further states that the imam Sharieff told the child’s mother that “achieving an orgasm would help her spiritually and allow her to communicate with Allah better.” 

Sharieff was divorced once and remarried an older woman who obviously was upset with what he allegedly did and is now being charged with.

It gets more disgusting.

The mother then proceeded to buy a sex toy and showed her child how to use it on herself, before streaming adult pornography which she shared with Sharieff.

Sharieff, a big mucky muck in Islamic scripture, was a specialist in teaching Quran recitation and retention, and led the AlMaghrib Institute’s Quran Revolution program. He taught over 25,000 students worldwide and it's not known what else he may have taught them.

Earlier this week AlMaghrib fired Sharieff for violating its code of conduct.

Do they really need to put it in writing to know that sexual abuse is wrong and is even more wrong with it's done to a minor? 

“AlMaghrib Institute is horrified at the news of the criminal allegation against Wisam Sharieff. The safety and protection of AlMaghrib Institute’s students and community continues to be our top priority. This criminal allegation against Wisam Shariff is a jarring and sickening experience for his students as well as AlMaghrib Institute’s staff and instructors who worked with him…

“The criminal allegations, as laid out by law enforcement investigators against Wisam Sharieff, were conducted outside AlMaghrib Institute’s educational platform via private communication between the accused adult parties. The alleged minor-aged victim was not a student of AlMaghrib Institute. As such, no law enforcement authorities ever communicated with AlMaghrib Institute prior to filing their criminal complaint against Wisam Sharieff."

Well, they're off the hook.

“AlMaghrib Institute continues to enforce its longstanding policy of zero tolerance for instructors having any romantic relationships with their students. Instructors are expected to abide by AlMaghrib Institute’s strict code of conduct in both their public and private lives. As soon as AlMaghrib Institute was notified of a possible violation of its code of conduct by an instructor in his personal life, AlMaghrib Institute conducted its own investigation but did not have access to law enforcement’s investigation. However, AlMaghrib Institute’s own investigation concluded there was sufficient evidence violating AlMaghrib Institute’s code of conduct to terminate the instructor’s employment and immediately publicly disclosed it."

So it was a double-whammy. The FBI and the institute had the goods on the guy.

Wisam Sharieff has yet to issue a statement on the matter but he might be advised to keep it on the down-low.

Suspected Antifa sympathizer pleads guilty to detonating shrapnel-filled device by Alabama AG's office

A guy with lots of names, Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, pleaded guilty in federal court to the malicious use of an explosive device that he had planted outside the Alabama Attorney General's office earlier this year. The device was loaded with nails and screws used as shrapnel in order to cause massive bodily injury to anyone in the blast area, the Department of Justice said. 

Calvert, 26, of Irondale, Alabama, is suspected of having Antifa [antifascist] sympathies. He set the device off on February 24 in the early morning hours; fortunately, no injuries were reported.

The home-grown terrorist admitted he made the device himself and lit the fuse then retired quickly safely away from the area. 

He was arrested on April 10th.

Calvert had posted Antifa fascist ideas on social media, stating the violence should be directed at the government and he even place Antifa stickers near the crime scene, the DOJ stated, although he claimed to have no affiliation with those scumcrumpets--a far-left organization that pretends to be an anti-Nazi movement while using fascist techniques for their ends.

Calvert faces between five and 20 years in prison. The case is being investigated by the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

"This defendant built a bomb using nails and screws as shrapnel and detonated it outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, endangering a public institution and members of the community," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "Public servants should never be targeted for doing their jobs. The Justice Department will not tolerate such conduct, and we will use every resource at our disposal to prevent these attacks and hold perpetrators accountable."

Court documents also said the man was "dangerous" as he had "described his inability to control his own violent, aggressive impulses."

Some of the stickers allegedly posted by Calvert around the area included one that had "An Antifa logo superimposed over a rainbow flag background, with the words, "ANTI-FASCISM IS COMMUNITY SELF-DEFENSE," which makes as much sense as "SCREWING FOR VIRGINITY" makes sense.

Some of the sticker this idiot posted reportedly read, "DEATH TO FASCISM," "ARM THE HOMELESS," "F--K WORK LET’S RIOT!" and "NEVER WORK."

ATF Director Steven Dettelbach said Calvert perpetrated an attack on the American justice system.

"Violent, targeted attacks like this, aim to harm, whether physically or through fear and intimidation, the civil servants and public officials who serve our communities and country," Dettelbach said.

"ATF is committed to holding those who attack American institutions accountable. I commend the work of the ATF and all our federal and local partners in bringing this defendant to justice."

Alabama killed Kenny

Alabama death row inmate, Kenneth Eugene Smith, forever 58, was executed tonight with nitrogen gas, and now holds the record for being the first to be put to death by this method. 

According to people who have never lost a love one to murder--I have--this method is controversial as it causes oxygen deprivation that these folks consider inhumane, kind of like how he stabbed a woman to death back in 1988.  He was pronounced dead at 8:25 p.m. or 20:25, local time at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore.

Prior to Smith's death sentence being carried out, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled for the second time in as many days that the state could proceed with using nitrogen hypoxia to execute Smith, refusing to block the nation’s first execution by a new method since 1982.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Jackson dissented as their way of virtue signaling since they have no problem with killing the unborn.

For his last meal, Smith was served steak, hash browns and eggs, the Alabama Department of Corrections said. He was visited by his adoring wife, his young son, two close friends and his loser attorney.

The execution garnered national attention because of its method, which causes the person inhaling the nitrogen gas through a mask to die from a lack of oxygen.

Smith's lawyers argued Alabama was trying to make him the "test subject" for an untried execution method after he survived the state's previous attempt to put him to death by lethal injection. At least Smith finally did something useful in his miserable life as a hired killer.

The defense also argued a second execution attempt is unconstitutional after Smith was one of three Alabama death row inmates who survived a botched lethal injection in 2022. 

The 2022 attempt, which lasted over four hours, caused Smith "severe physical pain and psychological torment, including post traumatic stress disorder," his lawyers said, much like the stabbing pain one feels while being killed by a knife.

"The application for stay of execution of sentenced of death presented to Justice (Clarence) Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied," the court said.

In a statement before he was put to death, Smith and his minister, Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood, said: "The eyes of the world are on this impending moral apocalypse. Our prayer is that people will not turn their heads. We simply cannot normalize the suffocation of each other."

And then there's abortion.

Smith was put to death for his role in a 1988 murder-for-hire plot that killed Elizabeth Sennett. He and John Forrest Parker killed the preacher's wife for $1,000 apiece.

So rest in hell, Mister Smith.

Alabama Supreme Court will allow new execution method for inmate who murderer

An Alabama Supreme Court comprised of all Republicans was divided Wednesday as to whether an inmate would be executed with nitrogen gas to carry out his death sentence.

Well it turns out in a 6-2 decision that this method will be allowed and Kenneth Eugene Smith will be the first to meet his Maker this way.

Although the order did not specify the execution method, the Alabama attorney general indicated in filings with the court that it intends to use nitrogen to put Smith to death. The exact date of the execution will be set later by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey.

Smith was one of two men convicted in the 1988 murder-for-hire killing of Elizabeth Sennett in Colbert County.

Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma are states that had authorized nitrogen hypoxia as an execution method but Alabama will likely be the first to use it if the execution goes through. However, there will probably be further litigation over this new execution method.

"Elizabeth Sennett's family has waited an unconscionable 35 years to see justice served. Today, the Alabama Supreme Court cleared the way for Kenneth Eugene Smith to be executed by nitrogen hypoxia," Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall wrote. "Though the wait has been far too long, I am grateful that our capital litigators have nearly gotten this case to the finish line."

An attorney for Smith did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Lawyers for Smith had urged the court to reject the execution request, perhaps because it's unsafe for Smith.

"The state seeks to make Mr. Smith the test subject for the first ever attempted execution by an untested and only recently released protocol for executing condemned people by the novel method of nitrogen hypoxia," Smith’s attorneys wrote in a September court filing.

I say whatever works.

Under the proposed method, the inmate would be forced to breathe only nitrogen, depriving them of oxygen needed to maintain bodily functions and causing them to die. Nitrogen is mixed with oxygen in our atmosphere and comprises 78% of the air we breathe. 

While some say using nitrogen to kill a scumbag like Smith would be painless, others say it might not be and he should be able to die comfortably, like the former VA Gov. Ralph Northam said, as he believes that unwanted newborns should be made to feel comfortable before the mother decides to kill him or her.

So Smith can be a ground-breaker and get his name into the history books--that would be his only good accomplishment it seems.

The state unsuccessfully attempted to put Smith to death by lethal injection last year. The Alabama Department of Corrections called off the execution when the execution team could not get the required two intravenous lines connected to Smith. But at least they did get the isopropyl alcohol to sterilize the needle to avoid infection.

Smith's attorneys previously accused the state of trying to move Smith to "the front of the line" for a nitrogen execution in order to moot Smith’s lawsuit challenging lethal injection procedures, but there was no line.

Chief Justice Tom Parker and Justice Greg Cook dissented in Wednesday's decision.

Smith was one of two scumcrumpets who were each paid $1,000 to kill Ms. Sennett on behalf of her pastor husband, who was deeply in debt and wanted to collect on insurance, for God's sake. The pastor killed himself the following week and likely never made it to the promised land.

Alabama man in slammer to be 1st guy executed using nitrogen sans oxygen

Alabama might become the first in the nation to put a scumbag to death using pure nitrogen to breathe until his body starves for oxygen and he breathes no more. 

While this method of execution is authorized in three states, none have used it as yet and for death-row inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith, he might be the first to. go. all. the. way. 

The office of Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall asked the state Supreme Court in a court filing on Friday to set an execution date for 58-year-old Smith. The filing revealed Alabama intends to put him to death by nitrogen hypoxia.

Smith was one of two men who were convicted in a murder-for-hire killing of a preacher's wife in 1988.

"It is a travesty that Kenneth Smith has been able to avoid his death sentence for nearly 35 years after being convicted of the heinous murder-for-hire slaying of an innocent woman, Elizabeth Sennett," Marshall said in a statement.

Nitrogen hypoxia results when a person breathes only nitrogen and is deprived of oxygen, which then kills him. While nitrogen is basically harmless and is abundant in the air we normally breathe, at 78%, it is combined with oxygen which is what our bodies need to keep us alive. When only nitrogen is being processed by an individual, hypoxia results and in this case, Smith will get what he gave: death.

Alabama authorized nitrogen hypoxia in 2018 during a shortage of drugs used to carry out lethal injections, but the state has not used the method to carry out a death sentence. Oklahoma and Mississippi also authorized nitrogen hypoxia as an execution method but have not used it. Perhaps they should consider it in the future.

Proponents of the new, cheap and kind of cool execution method have said that it would be painless, but opponents have argued that it is a form of human experimentation. The new revelation that Alabama is preparing to use nitrogen hypoxia is expected to spark new legal battles over its constitutionality.

The Equal Justice Initiative, a somewhat bleeding heart legal advocacy group that opposes the death penalty because they have likely never had someone close to them be murdered, said Alabama has a history of "failed and flawed executions and execution attempts" and "experimenting with a never before used method is a terrible idea."

"No state in the country has executed a person using nitrogen hypoxia and Alabama is in no position to experiment with a completely unproven and unused method for executing someone," Equal Justice Initiative senior attorney Angie Setzer said.

It isn't much of an experiment since it's known that it will work, but people who oppose the death penalty will always find an excuse to allow such scum to live, unlike what they did to other individuals.

Alabama tried to execute Smith by lethal injection last year but failed to carry it out because of issues with inserting an IV into his veins. This was the second time in two months and the third since 2018 that the state was unsuccessful in putting an inmate to death. Republican Gov. Kay Ivey announced the day after Smith's failed execution that executions would be paused to allow an internal review of lethal injection procedures.

Lethal injections in Alabama resumed last month. Unfortunately, Hammurabi's code, the most famous example of "lex talionis" or law of retribution, is not permitted.

The state has been working to develop the nitrogen hypoxia execution method for several years but has not revealed many details about its plans. Corrections Commissioner John Hamm told reporters last month that a protocol was nearly complete.

The attorney general's court filing did not disclose the details of how the execution would be carried out.

Elizabeth Sennett was found dead in the home she shared with her husband in Colbert County on March 18, 1988. Prosecutors said Smith was one of two men who were each paid $1,000 to kill Sennett on behalf of her pastor husband, who was in huge debt and wanted to collect insurance money.

The victim’s husband, Charles Sennett, killed himself when the investigation began looking at him as a possible suspect, according to court documents. The other man convicted in the killing was executed in 2010.

Al Sharptongue's brother heading to prison

The Very Right Reverend Al Sharptongue's younger brother, Pastor and also Very Right Reverend Kenneth Sharptongue Glasgow has been sent to prison for two and a half years on charges of tax evasion [in the spirit of the Sharptongues], drug trafficking, and lying to obtain Social Security disability benefits from the suckers known as we taxpayers.

Glasgow, 58 and not Scottish, was sentenced after pleading guilty to embezzling $407,000 from two so-called non-profit organizations he created to funnel money to himself.

The organizations were The Ordinary People Society (TOPS), a felon voting rights advocacy organization designed to allow criminals to vote other criminals into political office, and is located in Dothana, Alabama. The other is the Prodigal Child Project.

According to the claim of prosecutors, Glasgow allegedly may have taken almost $1,000,000 from the nonprofits without reporting the income, but a judge rejected this claim. 

Sharptongue Glasgow is set to enter the slammer on August 17th, and his lawyer, Jumping Jimmy Parkman, said the 30 months in stir was a "fair sentence."

AL Gov. Forces Childhood Ed. Sec. Out After Discovering What Was Being Taught to 4-Year-Olds

Republican Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama removed the "woke" teacher resource manifesto book from its pre-K programs and Barbara Cooper, the Marxist bureaucrat who supported it too. Cooper, who was secretary of the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education resigned over the book, according to the Alabama Political Reporter.

“The education of Alabama’s children is my top priority as governor, and there is absolutely no room to distract or take away from this mission. Let me be crystal clear: Woke concepts that have zero to do with a proper education and that are divisive at the core have no place in Alabama classrooms at any age level, let alone with our youngest learners,” Ivey said in a statement.

Ivey’s statement said the book had content “that is simply not in line with what the Ivey Administration or the people of Alabama stand for or believe,” noting that it “invokes ideas for teachers that there are ‘larger systemic forces that perpetuate systems of white privilege.’” By that she was referring to the anti-white Marxist propaganda that divides us as a nation and makes room for indoctrination of their dogma.

Ivey spokesperson Gina Maiola said the book was a teacher resource called the National Association for the Education of Young Children Developmentally Appropriate Practice Book, according to Politico. It would have had a longer title but the geniuses who developed the Marxist content couldn't agree on what to add in order to sound "importanter." 

The governor’s office said Ivey pushed for Cooper to “send a memo to disavow this book and to immediately discontinue its use.” Although Cooper’s reply was not shared, Ivey’s office said the decision was made to replace her and accept her resignation.

Good!! Gov. Kay Ivey denounces ‘woke’ preschool training book, ousts state official – https://t.co/sob6c4mJv0 https://t.co/Uw80Zh0B6c

— Margaret Auburn Grad 1776 (@MargaretAUGrad)

The radical book claims that “systemic and structural racism … has permeated every institution and system through policies and practices that position people of color in oppressive, repressive, and menial positions. The early education system is not immune to these forces.” 

The book also said that children from LGBTQ families “need to hear and see messages that promote equality, dignity, and worth" [over and over again].

On Friday, Ivey said kids in pre-K should “be focused on the fundamentals, such as reading and math,” according to the Reporter. Duh.

“Alabama’s First Class Pre-K is the best in the country, and those children are at too critical of a juncture in their educational journeys and development to get it wrong,” Ivey said, as reported by Fox News.

“I remain confident in the wonderful teachers we have in pre-K classrooms around our state and in the necessity of our children receiving a strong start to their educational journeys in our First Class Pre-K program,” she said.

She said she believed “it is best we continue this historically strong program on its forward trajectory under new leadership.”

The comrades at NAEYC defended the book in a statement.

“While not a curriculum, it is a responsive, educator-developed, educator-informed, and research-based resource that has been honed over multiple generations to support teachers in helping all children thrive and reach their full potential,” the statement said.

By 'educator' they were referring to the lowest scoring professionals on the SATs.

ISIS recruit hopes to be allowed back into US, only Allah knows why

"Death to America, y'all"

Hoda Muthana, 28, left Alabama in 2014 and joined the Islamic State in the hope of adventure and a little bit of blood lust. She recently told The News Movement from the Roj detention camp in Syria that she wants to return to the US, the Associated Press reported.

"If I need to sit in prison, and do my time, I will do it.… I won’t fight against it," the pretty terrorist said. "I’m hoping my government looks at me as someone young at the time and naive."

Muthana was born in New Jersey and raised by Yemeni immigrants and moved to Alabama. When she was 20, she ran away from home to join ISIS and kill American servicemen and women. She lied to her household, telling them she was going on a school trip but instead flew to Turkey and crossed into Syria. She funded the trip by secretly cashing tuition checks, so she even lied to the people who raised her but expects us to believe her now.

Once she arrived in Syria, Muthana says she was detained in a guest house reserved for unmarried women and children.

"I’ve never seen that kind of filthiness in my life, like there was 100 women and twice as much kids, running around, too much noise, filthy beds," she recalled. But she loved the excitement and thrill of getting her own weapon, maybe get her own weapon and let the heads fall where they may.

She said the only way out was to marry an ISIS fighter, and she eventually married three, giving birth to a child. Her first two husbands, including the father of her son, both died in combat. Muthana says she divorced the third because he wanted a fifth wife and only four was allowed under sharia law.

Now Muthana says that she regrets wanting to kill Americans of every stripe, and hopes to return to the US where she promises to behave herself and not even say anything bad about, you know, the Jews. She now claims to want to be an advocate against terrorism and claims that she was brainwashed by ISIS when she left Alabama to be brainwashed by ISIS in 2014.

The young terrorist-lover had her citizenship revoked in 2016 by the Obama administration. They argued that her birthright citizenship could be revoked because her father was a Yemeni diplomat at the time she was born. When Trump came into office, he agreed with the decision and she remained banned from the land she had wanted to destroy.

Muthana's lawyers have claimed the move was in error, arguing that her diplomatic accreditation ended before she was born. But U.S. courts have upheld the position of the government, while the Supreme Court declined her appeal to hear the case last year.

She is currently in a Syrian detention camp along with thousands of widows of ISIS "martyrs" and their children. Now she claims that SHE WAS THE VICTIM and will advocate against extremism. And she never lies.

"Even here, right now, I can’t fully say everything I want to say. But once I do leave, I will. I will be an advocate against this," she said. "I wish I can help the victims of ISIS in the West understand that someone like me is not part of it, that I as well am a victim of ISIS."

AL father allegedly poured boiling water down his baby's throat while out on bond for domestic violence

An Alabama man who was out of jail on bond for domestic violence was left to care for his 1-year-old baby girl. What could possibly go wrong?

Eugene Lamont Sneed, 23, allegedly poured boiling water down his baby girl's throat, that's what went wrong.

Sneed was involved with a 2020 domestic violence charge for which the above-mentioned bond was issued, when on Sunday, he is alleged to have poured boiling water down his daughter's throat, according to FOX 10.

Niktoria Lett, the mother of the 1-year-old, Royalty, said that the baby was left alone with Sneed, the baby's father, on Sunday. When Lett returned to the apartment, she saw Royalty's face "all messed up," the outlet reported.

"I get in the apartment and my whole my, my baby face is just messed up," Lett explained. "Her whole head, her left shoulder is just like ooh!"

Lett said that she could barely recognize her daughter.

"I couldn’t even stand to look at her. I couldn’t even keep calm. I couldn’t even maintain my body for real, for real. So we rushed her to the hospital, and from there, her injuries just started worsening," Lett said. "Her lungs critical, everything critical. That’s how they know it was done purposely," Lett said. "They said it was an intentional thing that he did. Justice for Royalty! That’s all we want, that’s all we want."

Lett said that Royalty is fighting for her life in the hospital.

"Nineteen percent of her head is burnt up, like all this is gone," Lett said. "And my baby just in the hospital fighting for her life."

Prosecutors allege that Sneed poured the boiling water down the baby's throat, causing internal injuries and facial burns, according to the report.

The Mobile County District Attorney's Office motioned to revoke Sneed's bond on late Thursday afternoon, as a trial for the domestic violence charge was scheduled later in October.

Jail records show that Sneed was booked on Friday and charged with aggravated child abuse, which should have been charged as attempted murder, in this writer's view. A judge denied bond for Sneed, and his arraignment is on Oct. 17.

In spite of the fact that this was not considered a murder charge, John Fedder[wo]man and other Democrats did not weigh in on the court's refusal to allow bail for the defendant. After all, is it any different to attempt the murder of a baby in her 8th trimester than in her previous periods of development?

Pray for this child.

AL law banning genital mutilation, drugs for children takes effect

It is now a felony in Alabama to mutilate children under the age of 19 for the purpose of making them almost look like the opposite gender in which they were born. The law took effect Monday and carries a sentence up to ten years in prison for those convicted of mutilating a child, even when the child and/or parent asks for the procedure to be done.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed the Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act into law in April. She told gender mutilating advocates including White House press secretary Jen Psaki, whose last day on the job was Friday, “Alabama will continue protecting our kids and not letting out-of-state liberals like Jen Psaki and the Biden White House tell us what to do.”

All Gov. Ivey needs to worry about now is Psaki's replacement, Karine Jean-Pierre, who not only feels the same as her predecessor, but is on the LGBTQ+1 bandwagon as she is a black lesbian woman who hates Fox News, the GOP, and possibly even Greg Gutfeld.

“Our state is prepared to defend our values,” Ivey continued. “Like I said, we need to focus on properly developing our children into the adults God intended them to be.”

Several transgender groups have been challenging the bill and are seeking a temporary injunction on its taking effect — but federal district Judge Liles Burke on Sunday made no overture toward blocking the measure and children will not have to face lifelong reminders of their immature decisions encouraged by their teachers.

The groups that filed the lawsuit, including GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders and Human Rights Campaign, say the law will do “immediate and irreparable” harm to the plaintiffs, who include four “transgender youth,” two doctors, and a minister who will likely be damned to hell one day. 

The irreparable harm will come in the form of not having their nuts or breasts chopped off, a fake penis or a make believe labia sewn on from tissues coming from butt cheeks or legs, and the ability to have this done anyway once they're old enough to decide that they still want to go through with this insanity.

Fun Fact: Most children who initially think they're of the opposite gender than their birth gender, grow out of it as young adults.

Alleged President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice led by far-Left Attorney General Merrick Garland has also joined the case against the Alabama law but not against Hunter Biden and the laptop controversy.

Alabama is the first state to successfully implement such a measure, although the Arkansas legislature tried a similar protection only to meet the veto of the Natural State’s useless governor Asa Hutchinson (RINO).

Relatedly, Ivey signed another child protection bill banning the discussion of sexual orientation in K-5 classrooms as well as requiring children use the restroom that aligns with their biological sex. 

The Biden administration has been pushing hard for sex change surgeries and providing hormone treatments to children, with the White House calling it “crucial to overall health and well-being,” which is specious and currently refers to the overall well-being of the Democratic Party.

The White House published a transgender fact sheet stocked with “resources” to honor gender dysphoria calling it “Transgender Day of Visibility” from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). 

To transgender Americans of all ages, I want you to know that you are so brave. You belong. I have your back. pic.twitter.com/mD4F0m3rU1

Actually, it's braver to call transgenderism what it is: gender dysphoria.

PINO Biden to remove Trump rule protecting religious health care workers

What a POS our PINO is. 

Biden's puppet master [Ron Klain? Susan Rice?] wants to rescind Trump's protection of religious health care workers that allowed them to refuse to kill babies in the womb or perform genital mutilations on gender dysphoric people, including minors, even though it violates their conscience and moral beliefs.

A spokes-human for the Department of Health and Human Services (a branch of government that, like the Department of Justice, has become an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp) confirmed to Politico on Tuesday that the administration is working to rescind the rule.

“HHS has made clear through the unified regulatory agenda that we are in the rule-making process,” the spokes-human said.

In other words, screw the First Amendment, do as you're told or else.

Trump issued the rule in 2018 and later blocked by the courts. It's intention was to allow religious liberty, especially regarding health care workers who morally and ethically opposed common transgender "treatments" for children, and for the killing of babies in the womb [aka "a woman's right to kill their baby in the womb"]. The latter goes against all Abrahamic religions and is viewed as a mortal sin by Catholics.

Politico said that Trump’s rule would have “allowed doctors, nurses, medical students, pharmacists and other health workers to refuse to provide abortions, contraception, gender affirming care, HIV and STD services, vasectomies or any procedure to which they object.”

Notice how the left plays with language. They use terms like "gender affirming care" rather than "genital mutilation on gender dysphoric minors." The use "pro-choice" when it applies to the mother [or birthing person, as idiots say] rather than considering the right to life of the unborn child.

The reality is that there are plenty of health care workers willing to perform the procedures the left cherishes so much, but they want to force their will upon those of us who morally object to those procedures. Where else have we heard of that? Hmm. . . 

In early April White House Press Secretary and MSNBC shill in waiting, Jen Psaki, said that lawmakers who are trying to protect minors from puberty blockers and transgender genital mutilation have been "put on notice" by the oxymoronic U.S. Department of Justice.

Where is the justice in pissing on the Bill of Rights?

“Alabama’s lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these … discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services that laws and policies preventing care that health care professionals recommend for transgender minors may violate the Constitution and federal law,” Psaki warned at a press briefing.

The ginger's comments were referring to Alabama banning doctors from mutilating children's penis and testicles, or breasts and vagina, or putting them on puberty blockers if they “identify” as the opposite sex because they are children and this isn't out of the ordinary, whereas 70% to 90% of them grow out of it. Alabama is also advancing parental rights by forbidding teachers’ “instruction” on sexuality and gender identity between kindergarten and fifth grade because that's not their freaking job.

Roger Severino, then-director of the HHS Office of Civil Rights, praised Trump’s “conscience” rule in 2019, when it was finalized.

“This rule ensures that healthcare entities and professionals won’t be bullied out of the health care field because they decline to participate in actions that violate their conscience, including the taking of human life,” he said, according to Christianity Today. “Protecting conscience and religious freedom not only fosters greater diversity in healthcare, it’s the law.”

Then-acting HHS secretary Eric Hargan said Trump’s move was a promise kept.

“President Trump promised the American people that his administration would vigorously uphold the rights of conscience and religious freedom,” Hargan said. “That promise is being kept today. The Founding Fathers knew that a nation that respects conscience rights is more diverse and more free, and OCR’s new division will help make that vision a reality.”

And then came along Joe Biden's administration and a president in name only who agrees to everything he is told to by his handler[s], because if you think Joe Biden is actually running the nation, then you probably also believe that Dr. Jill Biden should be Surgeon General like Joy Behar does.

BREAKING: SCOTUS denies Democrats redistricting balderdash

A huge win for the GOP has come from the Supreme Court in which they ruled to halt a lower court order in Alabama that it must redraw its previously passed Congressional map that would have given Democrats an eternal advantage in the polls.

The vote was 5-4, with Justice Roberts joining the left as he typically does, in dissent. SCOTUS now has halted the lower court order that required Alabama to redraw its congressional map, which diluted Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act. This is just one example of how scummy the left is in their quest for power.

The SCOTUS stay is obviously a huge win for Republicans and a blow to a coalition of Dems/civil rights groups seeking an additional Black opportunity seat in AL (and LA/SC). The 6R-1D GOP map will stand for 2022, and possibly longer.

— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) February 7, 2022

The Democrats never thought the Alabama map would be challenged on the grounds of the Voting Rights Act. They were always behind the eight ball when it came to stopping the Republican map in Alabama. A full decision is probably going to come next year but it's likely not going to be one that weaponizes the VRA to produce districting maps that stack up in favor of the Democrats while not allowing the GOP to gerrymander.

What that means is that not only did the liberals lose in this specific instance, but they could lose a lot more all across the country in regards to their use of racial quotas for congressional districts once a final decision is delivered. [Doesn't that sound a little like, "I'm going to nominate a woman of color for the Supreme Court?]

Roberts is probably one of the worst Justices ever to sit on the SCOTUS. His only standard seems to be to go along to get along and he has no clear ideology as far as one can tell.

The potential irony of the SCOTUS decision is wonderful to contemplate. 

Activist groups suing Alabama over a 30-year-old district map could potentially destroy the racial gerrymandering grift for the entire country and this nonsense would come to a halt, and that's what seems to be what's going on. Although Roberts punked out, as usual in the decision to lift the order, in his dissent, he noted that he believes the only thing holding it up is that SCOTUS needs to get rid of past bad precedent and he would vote like a constitutionalist.

In other words, Roberts is likely to join a 6-3 majority next year in delivering a decisive blow to Democrat attempts to rig the gerrymandering process [where they can draw 22-4 D to R maps in New York but Republican states cannot do the same].

The SCOTUS doesn't go along with the Democrat's point of view on the VRA and with Alabama in play, the left will pay a bigger price than simply losing a seat in the South. And now you can bet that the GOP in North Carolina as also going to seek relief from the SCOTUS after the decision last week.

 

In summary, this decision sets up the impending death blow for many of the unconstitutional provisions of the VRA that have long given Democrats an unfair way to stack the deck. If gerrymandering is legal, and it absolutely is, then it should be available to both sides equally. 

The games have begun.

Federal judge stops Biden administration from blocking new oil and gas drilling leases

A federal judge in Louisiana, Terry A. Doughty has stopped the socialist Biden administration on Tuesday from blocking new gas and oil drilling leases on federal land, thus putting a damper on Biden's extreme left environmental agenda that would obviously harm American energy workers. Doughty issued a preliminary injunction in the case.

“Judge Terry A. Doughty of the U.S. District Court in Monroe said the administration doesn’t have the legal right to stop leasing federal territory for oil-and-gas production without approval from Congress,” The Wall Street Journal reported. The WSJ added that Doughty noted that “states suing the federal government—largely southern and coastal states—will be harmed immediately as the pause prevents them from collecting lease bids and bonuses from oil-and-gas prospectors.”

Thirteen states in all sued the Biden administration over its radical and anti-American proposal: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.

The court's decision was a clear setback for Biden, who in his total lack of wisdom ordered suspension of new leases for fossil fuel development on public lands and waters in January while a review of the permitting process was carried out. He also halted work on the Keystone Pipeline, which put thousands of American workers out of a job while allowing Russia to be the sole providers of energy to Germany with their Nord Stream 2 pipeline. 

Biden has never once gotten a foreign policy idea correct and he isn't planning on ruining his record of incompetence.

The suspension — which did not affect existing drilling permits — fulfilled an election pledge and marked the president’s most significant move against the energy sector after he campaigned on a “transition away from oil.”

“The omission of any rational explanation in cancelling the lease sales, and in enacting the Pause, results in this Court ruling that Plaintiff States also have a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of this claim,” Doughty wrote. “Millions and possibly billions of dollars are at stake. Plaintiff states have a reliance interest in the proceeds derived from offshore and on land oil and gas lease sales.

Judge Doughty added, “Local government funding, jobs for Plaintiff State workers, and funds for the restoration of Louisiana’s Coastline are at stake.”

Officials who support American energy praised the decision as a victory for the rule of law, workers, and American citizens.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said the ruling was “great news for Louisiana energy workers and their families!”

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said the ruling was “a major win for the Constitution, for workers employed in the oil and gas industry and for all Americans who have felt pain at the pump.”

Rep. Jody Arrington (R-TX) responded to the news by saying that the ruling could “save a million jobs and preserve a safe and affordable supply of energy for all Americans.”

The left is coming for your money, your jobs and your preferred transportation.

Joke of the Day: California is considering a $500 to $1000 tax on the purchases of new, gas-driven vehicles to dissuade their purchase in lieu of electric cars. And if you think it will stop there and not affect older vehicles in the future, you're smoking something skunky.

Abortionist famous for bragging about killing babies, gets her medical license suspended

Leah Torres, comic abortionist

You know what they say about karma and how it's like female felines. Well karma paid a visit to Dr. Leah Torres, an Alabama baby abortionist who is known for going around bragging about how she kills babies before they have a chance to scream.

Torres had her medical license suspended in August by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners. She was serving as medical director of West Alabama Women's Center on a temporary license. 

[H/T Daily Wire]

According to AL.com, the bad doctor was denied certification for lying on her application.

"The Board denied an application for a certificate of qualification on Aug. 19, and on Aug. 27 temporarily suspended her license to practice medicine 'until a hearing is held on the allegations against her,'" the report stated. "The letter of notice from the Board of Medical Examiners says that Torres, in her application, gave false answers to several questions including whether her staff privileges had ever been revoked or suspended at any hospital or health care facility."

The letter of notice also stated that Torres made  "public statements related to the practice of medicine which violate the high standards of honesty, diligence, prudence, and ethical integrity demanded from physicians licensed to practice in Alabama."

Oh dear, I wonder if saying on Twitter that she kills babies before they have a chance to scream didn't sit well with the Board. The Daily Wire reported that statement in 2018 when she bragged about cutting the fetal "cord" before they have an "opportunity" to scream.

What a heartless, lowlife piece of s**t.

"So [if] it's not for the money, is it because you just like infanticide?" one Twitter user asked Torres. "Do you hear their heartbeats when you lay down at night? Do you hear their screams?"

The abortionist responded: "No. You know fetuses can't scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there's really no opportunity, if they're even far enough along to have a larynx."

"I won't apologize for performing medicine," added Torres, who obviously doesn't actually know the definition of medicine. "I'm also a 'uterus ripper outer,' if that's how you'd like to describe hysterectomy."

A spokesperson for the West Alabama Women's Center said the board's decision was actually "based on misunderstandings" regarding the suspension.

"West Alabama Women's Center is following all state guidelines regarding its operation," the spokesperson said. "We believe the actions taken regarding Dr. Torres's licensing application are based on misunderstandings concerning documents she filed with the Board of Medical Examiners and the Medical Licensure Commission. We know Dr. Torres to be an entirely honorable and professional [abortion] 'doctor' and look forward to the resolution of the issues relating to her application and license."

AL.com noted that many pro-life groups had filed complaints to the board about this horrible abortionist.

"The abortion industry feels they are not accountable to anyone and you can see it in the way they operate," said the Rev. Terry Gensemer, director of Charismatic Episcopal Church for Life. "They are used to getting away with things like injuring women or hiring doctors who lie on their medical applications. However, in Alabama, citizens are making certain the state holds these places accountable. Abortion is not welcome here, and we are exposing these clinics: prayerfully, peacefully and legally."

The report noted that the West Alabama Women's Center is a major abortion provider in the state. The clinic performed 3,371 unborn baby murders in 2018, which is more than half of the total murders performed statewide that year.

Al Sharptongue wants FBI to further probe NASCAR 'noose'--why was Bubba assigned a garage with a pull-rope

Whether it's a cop shooting a black suspect in self defense or a fake noose in a NASCAR garage that's actually a door pull rope, you know that race-baiter agitator Al Sharptongue will milk the situation for all he can pocket.

Now Sharptongue, a guy who threw gasoline on the 1991 Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn, after a Jewish orthodox rabbi accidentally struck two black kids with his car, killing one and injuring the other, is calling for further investigation by the FBI into the garage door pull-rope that Bubba Wallace believed was a noose. But Comey is gone and hopefully so too the politics of that agency, so the FBI is not likely to take Sharptongue seriously.

FUN FACT: For three days following the tragic incident in Crown Heights, rioting went on and many Jews were injured and one Jew from Australia was killed. Stores were looted in honor of the young black child killed and homes identified as Jewish by the mezuzot hanging on the front doors were damaged to honor the child. Many of the rioters were not from Crown Heights but heard that there was going to be a riot so they came prepared, throwing rocks and bottles and ironically chanting "No Justice, No Peace." By the third day of the riots, Sharptongue and Sonny Carson led a march through the area carrying anti-Semitic signs and burning an Israeli flag. By this time, 152 cops and 38 civilians were injured, 27 vehicles destroyed, 7 stores were looted or burned for justice and peace reasons, and 225 robberies and burglaries were committed, followed by 129 arrests. 

The good news is that Sharptongue ended up with an MSNBC gig and speaks as an expert on racial issues and he's doing just that in the Bubba Wallace non-incident in which a noose was NOT hanging from the garage door at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, but someone said it was.

It turns out the pull-rope has been hanging on that garage door for about a year and was not placed there after Wallace, who is black, was assigned that garage stall long after the rope was put there.

But Sharptongue, ever looking for anything he can use to make a racial buck is now wondering why they assigned Bubba that garage in the first place. A good question might be: are there other garage doors that also have similar pull-ropes.

The idiot race-baiter-agitator is now trying to contend that the FBI botched it--perhaps because they're racist, but he isn't openly suggesting that--and the non-noose is not non but a non-non-noose, making it a noose and please pay Al as you leave the premises and he will leave you alone.

“It was a noose, so the question is even if they did not know that Bubba Wallace was going to use that stall, why was a noose in the stall?” Sharptongue said on MSNBC, suggesting Wallace’s assignment to the garage was marred by racial malice.

“I do not think we’ve seen closure in this particular inquiry,” he added, having just learned the word.

It was not a noose--it was a rope attached to the door so that people could get in or out depending on the direction they were traveling.

Big Al is a divisive, disgusting, racial hate monger who needs a racism narrative to stay in business. Kind of like the left in general. He should be up for a Nobel Peace Prize one day soon.

The Useless Senate Ethics Committee

Checking his breath

The Senate Ethics Committee is about as useful to ethics violations as an aspirin is to blindness. And Mitch McConnell is as effective a Senate Majority Leader as Anthony Weiner is as a life coach.

Just hours after Leeann Tweeden went public over Sen. Al Franken's (D-MN) sexual misconduct, in which he is alleged to have kissed and groped her without consent during a 2006 USO tour, McConnell (R-KY) dealt with the matter by farming out the problem to the Senate's Select Committee on Ethics.

This is in contrast to McConnell saying that the GOP candidate for Senator of Alabama, Roy Moore, must step down for an alleged claim that he was sexually inappropriate with a 14-year-old girl almost forty years ago. 

In Franken's case, he admitted the assertion by Tweeden because there was photographic evidence supporting her claim. In Moores' case, he flatly denied the allegation, although there is strong collaborative evidence the claim is true. 

But the problem with McConnell is that he lacks consistency, and his recommendation for a Senate Ethics Committee to handle Franken's case is nothing more than a free pass to Franken, an unfunny former comedian turned senator.

Of course, Franken not only agree to a Senate Ethics Committee investigation, he acted as if it was his idea to have one. The reason is simple: out of over 600 prior investigations, not one has resulted in an expulsion or other punishment for the perps. 

Franken has nothing to lose and will likely receive nothing more than a wag of the finger.

"As with all credible allegations of sexual harassment or assault, I believe the Ethics Committee should review the matter. I hope the Democratic Leader will join me on this. Regardless of party, harassment and assault are completely unacceptable--in the workplace or anywhere else," McConnell said in a statement.

So naturally, the Democrats were delighted with McConnell's suggestion and jumped on the idea faster than Bill Clinton on an aide.

Franken said he had a different recollection of the events between him and Tweeden, but just like he made it clear in his dull book, "Giant of the Senate," he will say anything for his political gain, and is an admitted liar.

The main problem is, the Select Committee on Ethics, which started in 1965, is comprised of 3 Senate Democrats and 3 Senate Republicans. This prevents any action that isn't supported by at least one member of the other party, and the senators rarely deviate from party lines. So the committee tends to be more political and less ethical.

The last time the committee took serious action against a sitting senator began in 1992. The Washington Post broke a story that Sen. Bob Packwood (R-OR) had "made uninvited sexual advances to women who have worked for him or with him" which included 10 staffers and lobbyists. The committee was slowed by partisan deadlocks but ultimately, 19 women came forward against Packwood.

Packwood's own diary contained damning evidence (proving he was almost being too stupid to be a U.S. senator but got in just under the wire, like Franken) and it wasn't until September 1995 that the committee completed its investigation and recommended Packwood's expulsion.

Packwood resigned his seat the following day.

The irony regarding McConnell's decision for a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into Franken's 2006 behavior, two years before being elected to the Senate, is palpable. 

In another instance, McConnell cast doubt as to whether the committee has the power to act in such cases. 

Specifically, in 2007, Sen. David Vitter's (R-LA) phone number appeared on a client list for a prostitution ring. McConnell argued that since Vitter was not in the U.S. Senate but in the House of Representatives at that time, there was little the Senate could do.

"It appears whatever might have occurred, occurred before this individual came to the Senate, therefore raising serious questions as to whether the Senate has jurisdiction over it," said McConnell.

Even in a case as clearcut as Packwood's, it took three whole years before anything was done. Franken could die of old age or gross lack of humor before any consequences are meted out.
