A new report is putting the spotlight on who’s really funding the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)—and what that influence may mean for the broader economic and cultural battlefield.

High-profile donors including George Clooney, Tim Cook, and George Soros—alongside major brands like Chick-fil-A—are reportedly helping fund an organization that has played a key role in labeling and targeting groups across the political spectrum.

A new warning is emerging about the role artificial intelligence could play in America’s legal and political battles. Gene Hamilton, president of America First Legal, says “woke AI” may become a powerful tool in advancing left-wing lawfare.

U.S. forces have boarded yet another tanker tied to Iran’s “shadow fleet,” signaling a continued escalation in the effort to cut off Tehran’s ability to evade sanctions and fund its global operations through illicit oil exports.

The vessel, identified as the M/T Tifani, was intercepted in the Indo-Pacific and boarded without incident, according to defense officials. It was suspected of moving Iranian crude through covert shipping channels—part of a growing network of reflagged and obscured vessels used to bypass Western sanctions.

In a time when truth is often drowned out by noise, returning to Scripture is more important than ever. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Kevin Freeman will be participating in America Reads the Bible, a nationwide event focused on bringing the Word of God front and center.

Kevin will be reading live on Tuesday, April 22, from 8:00–9:00 PM EST (7:00–8:00 PM CST) as part of this powerful initiative to unite Americans around Scripture.

Talks between the United States and Iran have collapsed—because Iran refused to agree to even the most basic conditions required for security and stability.

After hours of negotiations, the message from Tehran was clear: they are not backing down.

The Red Lines Iran Refused

U.S. officials laid out six non-negotiable demands. Iran rejected them all:

Spain’s socialist government is moving quickly to reopen its embassy in Tehran, marking a sharp shift toward diplomatic engagement with Iran—even as tensions in the region remain high.

The embassy was closed just weeks ago amid escalating conflict, but Spanish officials now claim reopening it will support “peace efforts.” Critics see it differently: a move that risks legitimizing one of the world’s leading state sponsors of terrorism.

NASA’s Artemis II mission continues to mark major milestones in America’s return to deep space leadership. In a historic first, astronauts traveling around the Moon successfully completed a “ship-to-ship” communication with the International Space Station (ISS)—a moment that highlights both technological advancement and international cooperation in space.

Middle East tensions surged after Iran moved to block or restrict tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon.

Iran reportedly warned that unauthorized vessels could be targeted, signaling a return to aggressive control over one of the world’s most vital energy routes. The move comes just hours after a fragile ceasefire had raised hopes of de-escalation.
