SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER--THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT, AMONG THE ITEMS, FUNDED CHARLOTTESVILLE EVENT

HAVE HAD A REQUEST FOR THE FULL DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC); it is available online at multiple sites, and you can read it in its entirety at the link below.

One confirmed source hosting the full 14‑page document is FITSNews, which provides the full text of Document 1, Filed 04/21/26 from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama.

The DOJ’s own press release also summarizes the charges and links to official materials.

The document includes:

--The 11 federal counts (wire fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering).
--A detailed introduction describing the SPLC’s stated mission versus the alleged covert funding of extremist individuals.
--Descriptions of fictitious entities and bank accounts allegedly used to move donor money.
--Specific examples of paid informants involved in extremist groups, including one tied to the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” planning.

 
BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN READING--you will find the legal document at SPLC-Indictment-21April2026.pdf

1924, GLORIA SWANSON IN "THREE WEEKS"

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

WONDERFUL 1924 shot of Croton's Gloria Swanson in "Three Weeks"--CLICK ON THE PHOTO----the screenplay was by Elinor Glyn, a British novelist and scriptwriter who specialized in romantic fiction---considered scandalous for its time, although her works are relatively tame by modern standards. She popularized the concept of the "it girl", and had tremendous influence on early 20th-century popular culture and, possibly, on the careers of notable Hollywood stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson and, especially, Clara Bow. READ MORE ABOUT GLYN HERE.

REALITY REARS ITS UGLY HEAD------"ROLLING BACK NY'S CLIMATE LAW, GOV. HOCHUL SAYS SHE'S LIVING IN *REALITY*"

Hochul’s budget deal calls for scaling back the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act in two key ways.

First, the 2030 mandate will be eliminated and replaced with a new goal of a 60% emissions cut by 2040, according to the governor’s office. The mandated 85% cut by 2050 will remain in place.

The second rollback is potentially more consequential. Hochul says the state will adopt a new method for calculating the impact of its emissions, assessing their effect over 100 years instead of the current 20 years. The move will instantly put the state far closer to meeting the emissions target without making any meaningful changes.
