Now We Know


Grok—
Jack Posobiec's post👆 connects The Atlantic's recent article alleging FBI Director Kash Patel's excessive drinking and absences to Emerson Collective, the magazine's majority owner founded by Laurene Powell Jobs, which has historical and reported financial ties to the SPLC.

The timing aligns with Patel and the DOJ announcing an indictment against the SPLC for fraud, including funneling over $3 million through shell accounts to leaders in groups like the KKK and other extremists it purported to oppose.

The funding ties referenced in discussions around Jack Posobiec's post (and similar commentary) center on Emerson Collective—the majority owner of The Atlantic—and its relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).Ownership of The AtlanticEmerson Collective, founded by Laurene Powell Jobs (widow of Steve Jobs), acquired a majority stake in The Atlantic in 2017. This makes Emerson the controlling entity behind the magazine's operations and editorial direction in a broad sense.

Emerson Collective has provided philanthropic funding (grants) to the SPLC. Key details include:

• Laurene Powell Jobs has personally referenced supporting the SPLC, including an early personal donation as a high school student and later involvement through Emerson. In public remarks, she noted that Emerson had been "funding SPLC" anonymously as part of its philanthropy, and the organization collaborated with them on projects like "Teaching Tolerance" curriculum.
• Emerson's giving is often kept anonymous or low-profile, as it operates primarily as an LLC rather than a traditional foundation. It focuses on issues like education, immigration, environment, and social justice—areas that overlap with SPLC's work on "hate groups," civil rights, and voter/civic engagement.
• Specific grant amounts to the SPLC are not always itemized publicly due to Emerson's structure and anonymous giving practices, but the relationship is longstanding and acknowledged by Powell Jobs herself. Emerson has also partnered with or highlighted SPLC-related content (e.g., resources or stories on hate crimes, voting rights, and immigrant issues).

The SPLC itself is a large nonprofit with hundreds of millions in assets/endowment, much of it from donations, but it receives support from various left-leaning philanthropies.

Context in the Patel Story
Critics (including Posobiec) argue this creates a conflict of interest or motive for The Atlantic's April 17, 2026, article on Kash Patel. The piece alleged issues with Patel's drinking and attendance, based heavily on anonymous sources. Patel responded by filing a $250 million defamation lawsuit, calling it a "malicious hit piece."

The implied angle is retaliation or bias: As FBI Director, Patel's DOJ/FBI has been involved in actions against or investigations touching the SPLC (e.g., recent federal fraud indictments against the SPLC related to its use of paid informants in extremism cases). Conservatives have long criticized the SPLC for its "hate group" designations, which they view as targeting mainstream conservative, Christian, or immigration-restriction organizations.

Emerson's broader left-leaning philanthropy (immigration reform, education "disruption," climate) aligns ideologically with SPLC priorities, which fuels the narrative that ownership + funding = slanted coverage.

Caveats
• No public evidence shows direct, earmarked "pay-to-smear" funding specifically for the Patel article. The connection is structural and ideological rather than a proven quid pro quo.
• Emerson's grants support many nonprofits; SPLC is one beneficiary among others in social justice spaces.
• The Atlantic maintains editorial independence in theory, but ownership influences overall direction, as with any media outlet.

This tie is frequently highlighted in conservative media/X discussions as an example of "dark money" or interconnected progressive networks influencing mainstream reporting. Public records on exact grant sizes are limited due to Emerson's non-traditional structure.

Ceasefire Extended, Blockade Continues

Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.

Just Another Failing Political “Rag”

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS LOST ITS WAY!

An IDIOT on The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board, named Elliot Kaufman, just wrote an Op Ed entitled, “The Iranians Take Trump for a Sucker.” Really? For 47 years, they have killed our people, and many others, and taken advantage of every President, except me — And what did I give to them, a Country in tatters! Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar is wiped out, their Nuclear Labs and Storage Areas were OBLITERATED late one dark June evening by our Great B-2 Bombers, their leaders are DEAD, including General Soleimani, their evil genius who destroyed the lives of so many with his favored roadside bombs, the Strait of Hormuz is BLOCKADED and totally controlled by the U.S., with no Ships allowed to go to Iranian Ports — It is said that they are losing 500 Million Dollars a day because of this — Their Country is an Economic Catastrophe, that is hanging by a thread. Barack Hussein Obama gave them 1.7 Billion Dollars in “Green” Cash, flown in by a Boeing 757 to their leaders, and Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in order to help them on their way to a Nuclear Bomb. Other Presidents did nothing to stop them, a BLIGHT on the Office of the Presidency! But despite all of this, I have a MORON on the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal writing about me being taken for a “sucker.” Iran certainly doesn’t think so! Neither does anyone else. I guess Rupert Murdoch told him to write it this way, because The Wall Street Journal has lost its way, no longer required reading, just another failing political “RAG!”

Country Destroying Sleazebags

Wacko James Carville, a so-called Democrat “strategist,” wants the Democrats to make D.C. and Puerto Rico States and, most importantly, pack the Supreme Court, putting 13 Justices on the Court. Other Dems want 21 Justices. If they pull off adding these two States, these Country Destroying Sleazebags will dominate politics in America, if we even have a Nation left, for 100 years (TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER!). They are already doing great with the Supreme Court, however. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, totally loyal to the people and ideology that got them there. They are an immovable force, and there is nothing that can be done to change that. Frankly, I respect that, a lot! Certain Republican Appointees let the Democrats push them around, always wanting to be popular, politically correct, or even worse, wanting to show how “independent” they are, with very little loyalty to the man who appointed them or, more importantly, the ideology from which they came to be Nominated and Confirmed. Everyone knows that, as an example, Birthright Citizenship, which is Unconditional and Absent from any other developed or successful Country, is a disaster for the United States of America. No Country can be successful with such an anchor wrapped firmly around its neck but, based on the questioning by Republican Nominated Justices that I watched firsthand in the Court, we lose. As another example, if the Supreme Court put in one sentence stating that any money paid in Tariffs to the United States of America, to this point, does not have to be returned (to many people who hate our Country!), they would have saved American Taxpayers a minimum of $159 Billion Dollars. All they had to do was read the Dissent, written by Justice Kavanaugh, it was a close call, it wasn’t a 9-0 decision — What a difference it would have made for our Country. I put certain people on the United States Supreme Court who totally misrepresented who they were, and the true ideology for which they stand!

They Only Say They Want It Closed

Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!). They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!

11 Count Indictment Against the Southen Poverty Law Center



… massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public. 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.
