A federal grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, returned an 11-count indictment against the SPLC on April 21, 2026, charging wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. This was after a finding of probable cause. Many people have known for years that the SPLC was a hate group. Now, there is proof. Hakeem Jeffries heard all the charges against the SPLC, and the following response is shocking. If you doubted that the SPLC is tied to the Democrat Party, maybe you shouldn’t. “The so-called indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center announced by Todd Blanche and Kash Patel is baseless and illegitimate. “These partisan hacks who continue to weaponize the criminal justice system against perceived opponents will never intimidate us. “And all of them will be held accountable for their corrupt behavior, no matter what it takes,” Jeffries said. If Democrats are defending these people, what would the logical solution be? He wrote: “These partisan hacks who continue to weaponize the criminal justice system against perceived opponents will never intimidate us.” “Intimidate us?” What does he mean by “us?” It also was not a simple announcement. A grand jury found probable cause. I think he sees SPLC the way we do, as one of them. The so-called indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center announced by Todd Blanche and Kash Patel is baseless and illegitimate. These partisan hacks who continue to weaponize the criminal justice system against perceived opponents will never intimidate us.

Governor Spanberger was elated yesterday when the redistricting vote barely went their way. It was heading for a no vote all day until the mail-in ballots came in. Democrats control the mail-in ballots. However, the ballot fight is not over. A Virginia court just ruled it unconstitutional. A Virginia circuit court ruled yesterday’s redistricting vote unconstitutional and issued an injunction blocking certification of the results. That is great news. Virginia plans to redistrict the state into 9 Democrat districts and 1 Republican. Republicans have four, and Trump’s 2024 vote was 47% to 50% for Kamala. The union government workers and illegal aliens have moved Northern Virginia into the blue category. Ken Cuccinelli says Democrat redistricting is doomed: The “yes” vote has won Va’s redistricting referendum—but the legal fight is just beginning. Four Virginia constitutional challenges are now teed up: THREE challenges to the amendment process itself: First, passage was invalid. The amendment was taken up during a special session convened in 2024 for budget purposes. The General Assembly’s own call to the Governor (under Art. IV, §6 and Art. V, §5) and its governing resolution (HJR 6001) limited the session’s scope. Expanding it to include a constitutional amendment on redistricting required a two-thirds vote that never occurred. A Tazewell County judge found this action “void, ab initio.” Art. XII, §1 requires that after first passage, a proposed amendment be “referred to the General Assembly at its first regular session held after the next general election of members of the House of Delegates.” An election must intervene between first and second passage. Here, first passage occurred during an election cycle—not before an intervening one. Art. XII, §1 requires the amendment be submitted to voters “not sooner than ninety days after final passage by the General Assembly.” The timeline from second passage to the April 21 vote did not satisfy this requirement. Plus ONE challenge to the proposed maps: Art. II, §6 requires that “every electoral district shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory.” The proposed congressional maps violate this contiguity requirement (rather badly). Even the wording of the ballot question was corrupt. They asked voters whether they want to “restore fairness in the upcoming elections”!

Satellite imagery reveals that more than 33 IRGC fast-attack boats are massed near the Strait of Hormuz in a major Iranian show of force. Iran fired on three ships, less than 24 hours after Donald Trump extended the deadline. The attacks carried out by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard came after President Trump said the U.S. would indefinitely extend the ceasefire with Iran, due to expire on Wednesday. It will continue until Iran presents “a unified proposal.” President Trump also told them to “Get their S*** together.” Trump said the U.S. would continue to blockade Iranian ports, and the attacks reinforced the dangers to traffic in the strait, through which 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas pass in peacetime. That means that even if the ceasefire largely holds—and Iran and the U.S. do not resume major attacks—the war will continue to strain the global economy. The conflict has sent gas prices skyrocketing far beyond the region and raised the cost of food and a wide array of other products. According to The Washington Times, Iran said it won’t negotiate until the U.S. withdraws. They claim to have seized two ships, and another is stranded. Iranian state television later reported that the ships were in the Revolutionary Guard’s custody and being taken to Iran. It identified the vessels as the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas. The ship’s owners could not be immediately reached for comment. There is no confirmation that the ships have been seized, but it seems to be Iran’s next step. Iran opened fire on a container ship in the strait on Wednesday morning, and a second was attacked a short time later, according to the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center. Iranian state television later reported that the ships were in the Revolutionary Guard’s custody and being taken to Iran. It identified the vessels as the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas. The ship’s owners could not be immediately reached for comment. The seizures represent an escalation by Iran’s leaders, who appear poised to drive a harder bargain with American negotiators after two other rounds of talks with the Trump administration ended in open warfare. The semiofficial Nour News, Fars, and Mehr news agencies then reported that the Guard attacked a third vessel, the Euphoria. They said the vessel had become “stranded” on the Iranian coast, without elaborating. The UKMTO said the first ship was attacked by a Revolutionary Guard gunboat that did not hail the ship before firing. It added that nobody was hurt in the attack. Iran’s Nour News, however, reported that the Guard only opened fire on the ship after it had “ignored the warnings of the Iranian armed forces.” Iran’s semiofficial Fars news agency described the attack as Iran “lawfully enforcing” its control over the Strait of Hormuz. Watch: WATCH: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, less than a day after President Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely until Tehran agrees to negotiate a new deal. pic.twitter.com/755YYwXQkl — The Hill (@thehill) April 22, 2026 The closing of the Strait isn’t the calamity it would have been in 1979. Most of the global community is working around it. It’s only a big headache. Meanwhile, Iran must either escalate or come to the table. They have little time before their wells are full and they have to be capped. Reopening wells is time-consuming and expensive. They could also be damaged in the reopening. Iran hasn’t shot at U.S. ships yet. Someone will end it, and that will be the United States. At some point, the U.S. will go in and obliterate the 33 fast-attack boats.

Eight Iranian women, one only 16 years of age, were scheduled to be executed. President Trump asked for their release as a goodwill gesture, and they obliged. He thanked them and noted that no member of the international community had said anything about their upcoming execution. President Trump posted this great information on Truth Social: Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed. Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP Iran set to execute 8 women by hanging including 16 year old girl. These are their names and faces: Panah Movahedi Bita Hemmati Mahboubeh Shabani Ensieh Nejati Ghazal Ghalandari Diana Taherabadi Golnaz Naraghi Venus Hosseinnejad Hollywood celebrities are silent. pic.twitter.com/HTtSijurpt — Oli London (@OliLondonTV) April 22, 2026 President Trump also told Iran to get their act together.

We here at the Sentinel always like to commemorate Earth Day with a fitting tribute to one of the founders, Ira Einhorn. He was a murderer but also a hero of the movement – one of the leftist idols who helped come up with the Earth Day scam. He murdered his beautiful girlfriend, Holly Maddux, when she tried to leave him by burying her alive in a trunk under his bed. He beat her about the head first. Ira Einhorn, Earth Day co-founder Today is Earth Day, the day that normal people and environmental extremists throughout the world worship at the altar of Mother Earth. The Day and its events were concocted by Ira Einhorn, a vicious murderer who stuffed a girlfriend who jilted him in a trunk while she was still alive and stored her under his bed, leaving her to die. Her scratches on the inside of the trunk proved she was alive. THE UNICORN KILLER Ira Einhorn is the notorious self-named “Unicorn Killer.” He called himself the Unicorn because his name, Einhorn, meant “one horn.” Ira was as important a Communist radical as Abby Hoffman and Jerry Rubin in the radical 60s milieu. The slob was obese, had an unkempt beard, and rarely bathed. One friend described him as always smelling like a hoagie with onions. The unbathed leftist was the king of the radicals, the prince of flower power, the guru of peace and love, and Savior of the earth, according to media descriptions at the time. He had created, from an otherwise innocent era, a flip-side world of reefers, LSD, and free love. His way of life was an innovation in the Age of Aquarius, and he was the chief Aquarian in Philadelphia at one time, revered by the “new generation” of the 1960s. Women seemed to find his philosophical ramblings with his superior, aggressive stance on issues overwhelmingly appealing. He never had trouble landing dates or women to abuse, even after strangling one girlfriend near to death in 1965 and then writing about the pleasure of it in his poetry. THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Another girlfriend, Holly Maddux, went missing in September 1977. Holly was described as a delicate, ethereal blond beauty, who her sister described as a Michelle Pfeiffer type. She was a child of the Earth and cared about saving the planet. The girl from Tyler, Texas, went missing after telling Ira that she met someone else. Holly Maddox Holly Maddux was a sunny, blond-haired, blue-eyed cheerleader who went to Bryn Mawr and became a legitimate women’s libber in a sea of man-hating fakes. She hated the violence of the Vietnam War. The wispy and delicate beauty carried herself like a ballerina, her sister said. Einhorn, on the other hand, was hirsute, dirty, and cloddish. When Holly brought him home to meet her church-going, proper parents, he clawed at his food like a wild animal, shocking them into disbelief. They accepted the relationship because Holly was 25 by this time. Holly was often seen battered and bruised, and shortly before her death, she told her sister that she was tired of Ira. For months after she was reported missing by her parents, Einhorn’s Philadelphia neighbors complained of a putrid odor coming from his apartment. A neighbor downstairs complained of a brownish-red liquid dripping into his closet from Ira’s apartment. At 9 AM on March 28, 1979, the police finally went to 3411 Race Street, the apartment of Ira Einhorn, not sure what they would find. The Philadelphia village was not a high-crime area, and Ira was not a person who would commit murder, according to his associates. He had a dark side. However, Ira had a dark side that combined an overpowering personality with his sometimes abusive relationship with women. And he was never made to answer for it. He had people convinced he was a victim of FBI and CIA conspiracies. The smelly brute was a devoted advocate of environmental causes. He made a career of financing many liberal causes by simply going into the homes and offices of the rich and asking for money. When the detectives arrived at Ira’s house that day, one reached under Ira’s bed and found a trunk. As he pulled the coverings in it aside, he felt a small hand. He reached in further and found the mummified body of Holly Maddux. Her skull had been crushed several times by blunt force and she was stuffed in a box the size of a child half her size. The coroner would later say that she was still alive when placed in the trunk and tried to claw her way out. When found, her body weighed 37 pounds. When the shocked detective discovered her body, he said that it looked like he found Holly’s body. The arrogant and disheveled Einhorn repeatedly said, “You found what you found.” Some leftists try to distance themselves from him. Ira Einhorn was one of the people who conceived the original Earth Day. The environmental terrorists of his day tried to disavow him after Holly’s body was discovered. Donald Nathanson, the prosecution witness, said Einhorn had been on the Earth Day organizing committee, but when the Earth Day event was planned, he was kept off the 7-member panel because of his aggression and boorish behavior. Einhorn, he said, attended and commandeered the event, taking over with endless rants and proclamations. Earth Day was Einhorn’s conception; of that there is no doubt. Others fought for him despite the murder. Soon-to-be U.S. senator at the time, Arlen Specter, was Mr. Einhorn’s attorney. He managed to get the bail set at the unheard-of amount of $40,000 for the suspected murderer. Only 10 percent was needed to free him. As an aside, Specter will live in infamy as a fake Republican. He changed parties to get swept into office during the Bush wave and was the deciding vote on Obamacare. Barbara Bronfman, the heiress to the Seagram liquor fortune, paid Einhorn’s bail. Proclaiming his innocence, Mr. Einhorn told all that he was framed for the murder. He said it was the CIA or the FBI who committed the murder and they were trying to frame him because of his political activities. When he went on trial, other Philadelphia liberals joined Arlen Specter and Barbara Bronfman in speaking about his character and innocence. This was despite the fact that Holly Maddux’s body was found under his bed and despite the fact that the prosecution had insurmountable evidence supporting a conviction. They’re despicable, too. He was the jet set’s darling. Just like today, the elite picked the worst of the worst to support. Einhorn and his elite friends proclaimed his innocence. Einhorn was a darling of the Philadelphia elite and a force in the environmental movement and that trumped murdering an innocent girl who actually did love the earth. The supporters at his trial included Ivy League professors, an Episcopalian minister, and corporate executives who said under oath that Einhorn was a man of the greatest integrity. Sickos! But that’s who these particular leftists are. Einhorn was convicted and faced the death penalty. After Arlen Specter arranged the low bail, Einhorn fled and disappeared for sixteen years. The FBI found him in France, but his extradition took another four years. He was living like a country gentleman with his beautiful Swedish wife at the time. A special act of the Philadelphia legislature and a promise not to seek the death penalty got him back. He was sentenced to prison for life without the possibility of parole. He died in prison at age 79.   The post Earth Day’s Hero Beat & Stuffed His Grilfriend in a Trunk Where She Died appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.
