    It turns out that Turley’s train is starting to leave its tracks. One would be that multiple millions of families have ancestors that were azzhats. Visiting the sins of the father on the son is stupidity of a high order.

    Plus, Joe Biden never knew his great-great grandfather, and chances are he never knew anyone who ever met him. Lots of people never met their great grandparents.

    Not to mention the complete idiocy of using natural selection in that context. He knows nothing about natural selection, as he has demonstrated here.

    He’s desperate to smear Joe Biden, and you have to wonder why he would be such a clown to do that.

    Man I can't wait to hear what he has to say about the Kennedy's!!!!! What a moron....
     
    The Surgeon General of FL belongs here. He’s going to get someone killed with his stupidity. Measles is no joke for the unvaccinated.


    This is not going well. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known to man. His approach of letting parents decide when their child can go back to school is crazy. I think the incubation period is about 21 days, right in the middle of spring break where multiple thousands of people will visit FL and then return to their home states. 🤦‍♀️

    He must be the reason the @SaintForLife and Musk think that all black doctors are diversity hires and unqualified. Just a hint for future reference for those two, it's only the ones that come out of the extreme right wing that are unqualified (but that tracks with every race, not just black people). The liberal ones have to prove themselves over an over and are likely the most qualified doctors.
     
    He claims he is a county GOP official, and mentions his children. 🤦‍♀️

     
    Turning Point USA, a far-right youth group known for its fundraising prowess and for promoting election-conspiracy theories, is mounting a multimillion-dollar mobilization drive via its advocacy arm in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin.

    Arizona-based TPUSA, a non-profit co-founded in 2012 by then 18-year-old Charlie Kirk that’s become a key ally in Donald Trump’s Maga ecosystem, has launched the drive through Turning Point Action, which has raised tens of millions of dollars and is hiring hundreds of full-time employees in the three states, according to its spokesperson, Andrew Kolvet.

    While its current fundraising drive is to support the voter-outreach efforts, TP Action is likely to help finance other political advocacy initiatives, including ousting some key Arizona election officials who disputed claims of election fraud in 2020.

    Dubbed “chase the vote”, the drive is being supplemented by another get-out-the-vote campaign that TP Action is starting with the Christian nationalist and televangelist Lance Wallnau.

    Together with Wallnau and some other Maga allies like Moms for America, TP Action is planning a “courage tour” in the same three swing states to enlist pastors and their churches in the voter-mobilization drive, which will include booths in churches to register voters.

    TP Action’s fledgling campaign is aimed at identifying and registering “patriotic” voters, encouraging early voting and getting voters to the polls in November, according to its website. Billed as the “first and most robust conservative ballot-chasing operation”, TP Action’s drive could benefit Trump and Maga-allied candidates in the three states.…….

     
    The violent neo-Nazi Robert Rundo thought he’d won freedom last week after a US district court judge in California threw out a federal indictment against the white-nationalist militant, arguing prosecutors selectively went after him and did not put far-leftist protesters through the same treatment.

    Fewer than 12 hours later, Rundo found himself in jail again on the order of appellate judges from the ninth circuit.

    It was a stunning turn of events in a case that has bewildered both longtime legal observers and researchers of the far right.

    Rundo, whose life traces a winding path from gang feuds on the streets of Queens, New York, to time in a state prison for the gruesome stabbing of another gang member, was the leader of a now-defunct white nationalist “fight club” called the Rise Above Movement (RAM) that instigated brawls with anti-fascist protesters up and down California in 2017.

    Federal prosecutors indicted Rundo in 2018 on anti-riot charges stemming from fights in Huntington Beach, San Bernardino and Berkeley, and he was extradited from Romania last year to face charges in the US.

    On 21 February, the US district court judge Cormac Carney threw out the indictment, arguing prosecutors had selectively prosecuted the militant. Rundo’s public defenders had argued that their client and the rest of RAM were merely defending themselves against anti-fascist and leftwing protesters during melees, despite ample documentation that RAM trained for combat, instigated fights at the rallies and assaulted a journalist covering one of the protests at an Orange county beach.

    It wasn’t the first time Carney made a stunning ruling in the case. In 2019, the judge threw out Rundo’s charges, that time on the grounds that the anti-riot act was unconstitutional. A ninth circuit panel reversed that dismissal in 2021.

    The higher court intervened this time as well. Shortly after Carney’s verdict, federal prosecutors filed an emergency motion before the appeal panel requesting Rundo’s rearrest. They called Rundo an “extremely serious flight risk and danger to the community”, citing a 2018 European trip with other RAM members to visit neo-Nazis in Italy, Ukraine and Germany, Rundo’s repeated attempts to flee to Ukraine and Moscow before he was arrested in 2018 in El Salvador and extradited to the US, and his ability to evade arrest for two years in eastern Europe after the charges against him had been reinstated.

    The ninth circuit panel sided with prosecutors, ordering Rundo’s rearrrest, barring any lower court from releasing him while the government challenges Judge Carney’s reversal. By 22 February, Rundo had been arrested north of San Diego and returned to the federal jail in downtown Los Angeles.


    Carney’s ruling was concerning to those studying white nationalist organizations in the US. Mike German, a former FBI agent who infiltrated southern California neo-Nazi groups in the 1990s, said the judge’s latest order of dismissal was the result of law enforcement not acting early enough to hold violent far-right militants to account.

    “The narrative that the violence at these protests was two sides squaring off rather than an organized plot to bring violence to different communities around the country is a deliberate distortion that these rightwingers have promoted,” German said. There also, German says, are echoes in the 20th-century rise of fascism.……

     
    A pop-up War Room studio commanded a prime location at CPAC last week and featured guests such as Liz Truss, the former British prime minister. On the main stage, Bannon compared Trump to the Roman general Cincinnatus and declared: “His fate and destiny is to have the greatest political comeback in American history from November 5 to drive the vermin out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

    “Biden, you and your crime family are nothing but trash, OK? And on 20 January of 2025 we’re going to take out the trash.”

    The Maga-regalia wearing crowd went wild, cementing Bannon’s status as a tribune of the movement heading into the 2024 presidential election.

    Charlie Sykes, a political commentator and author of How the Right Lost Its Mind, said: “At the moment Steve Bannon is the id of the American right and, if we’ve learned anything in the last eight years, it’s don’t assume because somebody sounds extreme and unhinged that they will not be influential in this party.”


    Sykes makes an analogy with drug dealers competing with each other by selling purer and stronger forms of methamphetamine, a highly addictive stimulant. “Steve Bannon is still peddling the most powerful meth out there.

    “Donald Trump does not look at Steve Bannon and think this guy is unhinged; he’s looking at Steve Bannon and saying this is exactly what I want to hear from my supporters. Steve Bannon knows what he’s doing and he will act as a gravitational pull on the rest of the right because they have to match him.”…..

    Fitness should be about health, but allegedly, the white supremacist fitness clubs have twisted it into a tool for hate. White supremacist “active clubs” are growing in number across the United States. A former member told VICE News that there were around 300 to 500 participants in the U.S. and worldwide.

    This group shames people who don’t fit their idea of fitness, using weight as a measure to discriminate. Even worse, they’ve started attacking former president Donald Trump’s supporters. The groups target unhappy or disaffected white men and recruit them to prepare for what is believed to be “race wars.”

    The clubs give these men a feeling of belonging by meeting regularly to practice martial arts or exercise. To attract disillusioned young white men, these groups would initially downplay their racism and sexism. Instead, they would focus on spreading messages of self-improvement and brotherhood.

    But their real intentions are much more disturbing, based on white supremacist beliefs. Their Telegram channels show their extreme views and are full of symbols linked to neo-Nazis. They also share memes that are racist and antisemitic and news articles that put down people of color and LGBTQ+ people.

    “They are quickly becoming one of the most prominent vectors for white terrorist radicalization in the United States in recent years,” Jon Lewis, a Research Fellow at the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, told Business Insider. “They’re training for what they view to be this kind of inevitable race war, this inevitable violent clash for the future of civilization,” he added.

    Last year, a former member of an active club told Vice News that the group gradually introduced extremist ideas to new members. They did this by sharing racist jokes and discussing news stories where ethnic minorities were portrayed as attacking white people.

    “They believe that there’s an inevitable cultural war that’ll come, and because they tie culture directly to race, a culture war means race war,” they said. “They never were like, ‘You need to learn how to fight so you can beat up people of color. It was like, ‘You need to learn how to fight because people want to kill you in the future,'” they added.

    Some members of active clubs generally avoid direct violence. However, some have been reported to intimidate their enemies, especially journalists. For example, the Tennessee Active Club is known for threatening local journalists, activists, and politicians. Its leader, Sean Kauffman, holds extreme views; he’s a neo-Nazi and denies the Holocaust...........

     
    This is the way the press is describing the fines at Liberty. It was failure to properly handle sexual assault and rape. For cripe’s sake.


    The Clery Act ain't no joke. When I was still in higher ed, we were hit with a $200K fine for three lights being out on police call boxes. We were able to appeal it down, but damn.
     
    Rudy Giuliani could be forced to sue longtime ally Donald Trump by a group of creditors that the cash-strapped former New York City mayor owes tens of millions of dollars.

    The Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which represents individuals and entities to whom Mr Giuliani owes money, are “discussing” making Mr Giuliani file a lawsuit against Trump to get their money, a source close to the matter told The Independent.

    The group has had ongoing discussions since early February, the source says, about possible litigation against Mr Trump in an effort to collect $2m in Mr Giuliani’s unpaid legal fees.The disgraced lawyer claims he is owed that amount for his spurious effort to overturn 2020 election results.……
