Arkansas whites–only community sued for discrimination by woman with black husband whose application to buy land was denied

A whites-only community in Arkansas is being sued by a Caucasian woman who claims her membership application was rejected because she has a black husband.

Michelle Walker, 49, claims in a lawsuit that she was discriminated against when her request to join Return to the Land (RTTL)’s 160-acre site near the rural town of Ravenden was refused in November last year.

RTTL, which was launched in 2023, is described on its website as a private association ‘for individuals and families with traditional views and common continental ancestry.’ 

Walker, a real estate worker who lives in St. Louis, Missouri, said she was not drawn to RTTL for its principles but was simply captivated by its ‘exceptionally low’ sale price. 

RTTL is selling an acre of land for $1,000, significantly lower than the average price of land in the Ozarks which is around $4,000 per acre.

Walker, who ‘self–identifies as white,’ believed she would be eligible to join the community based on its requirements and disclosed that she has Jewish ancestry on her mother’s side, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas viewed by the Daily Mail.

Her husband is black and they have three biracial children, per the legal filing.

She was given an interview by the community in which her background was explored, and about a month later her application was denied, the lawsuit states.

On Wednesday, she sued RTTL for ‘refusing to sell her land on the basis of race and religion,’ marking the first civil case against the group.

She cited the Fair Housing Act and civil rights laws stretching back to 1866 in support of her argument.

Walker said in her filing that her application saw her complete the group’s application form in which she answered questions about her ancestry and religion.

Walker said her father’s side of the family came to the US in the 1600s and that her mother’s side of the family was made up of Russian Jewish immigrants, per the complaint.

The filing added that Walker’s husband was specifically of Irish and African descent.

When asked about her religion, Walker allegedly replied: ‘I am a Christian. I believe Jesus died for my sins and through believing in him, I will have a heavenly eternal life.’

Walker also faced questions about whether she supported ‘segregation,’ ‘multiculturalism,’ ‘gay marriage’ and ‘transgenderism,’ the filing added.

Per the lawsuit, Walker was ‘surprised’ to see those sorts of questions on the housing application.

UAP Experts React to Pentagon’s Release of Files

The Pentagon’s major public release of UFO/UAP files has shone a light on numerous aerial encounters, including astronaut accounts that continue to resist easy explanation. Space.com recently reached out to several specialists in the field to share their reactions and analysis. Alejandro Rojas, a longtime UFO researcher and consultant for Enigma Labs, described the release as a step toward transparency, yet it had an unfinished quality. “There are many cases with minimal context, missing sensor data, and little accompanying analysis, as if the priority was getting something out the door rather than something useful,” he remarked.

Mark Rodeghier, scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, views the release as a useful beginning, while noting that “short videos and unresolved case summaries can be intriguing, but without the supporting metadata, investigative history and analysis, they are hard to evaluate.” He continued: “The real test will be whether future tranches provide complete case files, not just provocative fragments.” Michael Gold, who served on NASA’s UAP Independent Study Team, framed the release as part of a broader cultural shift toward serious discussion of anomalous phenomena. He argued that investigating unexplained events should not carry stigma, particularly when the goal is better scientific understanding. “I expect we are at the beginning, not an ending, of a very important moment in the history of science,” he commented.

And we may not have to wait long for a second set of UFO files to be released, as Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced on X on Monday that new materials are “actively being processed.” Congressional representative Tim Burchett reportedly said that while the first drop was big, “in comparison to what is coming, they will be a drop in the bucket.”

Rep. Tim Burchett Warns GOP He’ll “Embarrass” Colleagues if Trump Agenda Stalls — Vows to Do “Whatever It Takes” to Push SAVE America Act Before Midterms

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) is done playing nice.

In a fiery interview, the Tennessee congressman made it crystal clear that patience inside the Republican conference is wearing thin as key elements of President Donald Trump’s America First agenda remain bogged down in Washington gridlock.

Burchett blasted the slow pace of Congress and warned fellow Republicans that if they keep dragging their feet on critical legislation, including election integrity measures such as the SAVE America Act, they’re going to have a very uncomfortable time.

Burchett: If we listen to what President Trump proposes, and in his cuts and things, I think we would be ahead everywhere. But we’re not. We’re running our own little game, and that’s going to cost us. I believe the redistricting has helped us, mainly a Trump initiative.

The price of gasoline, honestly, I think is what people are going to be going to the polls about, either yay or nay, wherever it is. They have a very short memory that it was higher under Biden than it is even now. But with the media constantly bombarding them with all that, you’re not going to get that message.

So people are upset, and they have a right to be. I just wish we would follow President Trump’s initiative from day one and stop with all this nonsense.

You know, it’s like DOGE. I’m chairman of the DOGE Committee, and it’s just like pulling teeth to get any cost-saving measures through these committees.

But I’m just a little different. I don’t work for anybody up here. I work for the good people of Tennessee. And so I don’t care if I tick off every chairman up here. I don’t care. I’m going to embarrass them if they don’t start moving our legislation.

Big Tech Backs Colorado OS-Level Age Data Bill

Chamber of Progress, a lobbying group bankrolled by Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and OpenAI, is pushing Colorado Governor Jared Polis to sign SB 26-051 into law.

The bill would force operating system providers to harvest users’ dates of birth and pipe that data to app developers through an API every time you download or open an app. If Polis signs it, your phone’s operating system becomes more of an identity checkpoint, not just for children, but for everyone.

The bill landed on the Governor’s desk on May 12 after clearing both chambers of the Colorado legislature, passing the House 40-23 and the Senate 26-9.

We obtained a copy of the latest version of the bill for you here.

Sponsored by Democratic Senator Matt Ball and Representative Amy Paschal, the legislation mirrors California’s AB 1043, signed into law in October 2025. Colorado’s version would start applying to new users on July 1, 2028, with existing users folded in by January 1, 2029.

When you set up a device account, the OS asks for a date of birth. That data gets translated into one of four age brackets (under 13, 13 to 15, 16 to 17, and 18-plus) and stored as an “age signal.”

Developers are required to request that signal at first launch or account creation through a real-time API. Every app you open gets to ask your operating system how old you are.

Chamber of Progress told Colorado lawmakers that the bill “reflects an important effort to protect children online while minimizing risks to privacy and lawful speech.”

That framing collapses under the weight of what the bill constructs. It calls age-bracket data “nonpersonally identifiable,” but an age bracket combined with a device ID, app usage patterns and an IP address makes re-identification trivial. When that signal flows to dozens of apps at launch, the aggregate profile becomes far richer than any single data point suggests.

The bill also makes anonymous device use functionally harder. If account setup requires an age attestation that follows you into every app, you lose the ability to use the software without disclosing something about your identity. That has consequences for journalists, activists, domestic violence survivors, and anyone who treats privacy as a default.

The bill never specifies how age data is verified. Account holders just “indicate” a birth date. It may not have an ID check or a biometric scan, at least for now. But a 12-year-old can type in 1988 and the system accepts it.

As a mechanism for protecting children, this is useless, and everyone involved in writing it knows that. What it does accomplish is something else entirely. It builds the architecture: the API, the data pipeline, the legal obligation for developers to query an age signal at every app launch. Once that plumbing exists, the only question left is what gets poured through it.

BALTIC DRONE SCARE: After Latvian Government Collapse and NATO Jet Shooting Stray Ukrainian Drone Over Estonia, Now Lithuania Shuts Airport and Evacuate Government to Shelters

All Baltic nations blame Russia for the Ukrainian stray drones.

Another day, another drone scare disrupting life in the Baltic nations.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the daily events, as you can read in BALTIC DRONE SCARE: The Whole Latvian Government Collapses Over Stray Ukrainian Drone Strikes;

and BALTIC DRONE SCARE: NATO Fighter Jets Shoot Down a Stray Ukrainian Drone Over Estonian Airspace

Today, a drone attack (an ‘air danger’) alert was sent to citizens in Vilnius and in regions bordering Belarus.

Euronews reported:

“Residents of Lithuania’s capital Vilnius briefly fled to underground shelters on Wednesday as transport ground to a halt after the defense ministry sent a drone alert to mobile phones.

Such alerts have become increasingly common in recent months in the Baltic states as Ukraine steps up strikes against Russian targets in the Saint Petersburg region, close to Estonia and Finland.”

Judge Orders Administration to Obey Presidential Records Act

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to follow a post-Watergate law governing presidential records, rejecting the Justice Department’s argument that the statute violates the Constitution. US District Judge John Bates ruled Wednesday that the Presidential Records Act likely is constitutional and that a group of historians showed there is a “substantial risk” the White House is not complying with it, ABC News reports. The law, in place for nearly a half-century, requires that presidential records be preserved and transferred to the National Archives so they can eventually be made public.

In a 54-page opinion that cited George Orwell, William Shakespeare, and the inscription on the National Archives building—”What is past is prologue”—Bates concluded that Congress has authority under the Constitution’s Property Clause to regulate presidential records. “Almost 50 years of practice” and Supreme Court precedent, he wrote, support Congress’ power to set the rules for presidential documents. The order directs the White House Office, the National Security Council, the US DOGE Service, and President Trump’s advisers to fully comply with the act, per the Washington Post. Bates set May 26 as the date for it to take effect.

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller are named in the order as being required to follow it. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are excluded, per CBS News. The records act has been invoked in debate since Trump was accused of taking sensitive presidential records to his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office. He was later indicted on charges of retaining classified information and obstruction of justice, a case that was dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon, who maintained special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was improper.

Christopher Rufo Says California Fraud Is Stealing Taxpayer Money on a Scale That Makes Minnesota Look Like ‘Child’s Play’

The fraud scandal that resulted in billions being stolen from American taxpayers in Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fraud on a national scale, a conservative author and activist said in a podcast released Wednesday.

And while revelations about Minnesota’s scandal ended the political career of Gov. Tim Walz, another Democratic governor making national headlines is far worse, the Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo said.

“The scale of it in the state of California is just another level entirely,” he said, according to the New York Post. In fact, he said, it makes Minnesota’s massive fraud look like “child’s play.”

Rufo was speaking on “Pod Force One,” a podcast hosted by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine.

Minnesota’s fraud has been largely centered in the state’s large Somali community. But in Newsom’s California, the potential for theft has attracted a global element.

“Individuals from all walks of life, all nationalities, even all parts of the country have recognized that the California government is essentially open to business for fraud schemes,” Rufo said, according to the New York Post report.

RADIOACTIVE HOGS: In the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Area, the Mutant Super Pig Population Is Surging Out of Control

Nuclear hogs reproduce faster than they can be culled.

In 2011, the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster was hit by a massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami, causing one of the worst radioactive disasters in history.

Around 164,000 people were forced to flee from their homes to escape the radiation zone.

The New York Post reported:

“Amid the chaos, domestic pigs escaped into abandoned farmland and began interbreeding with indigenous feral boars — creating a mutant pig population with alarming genes, Popular Science reported.

[…] Researchers from Fukushima and Hirosaki Universities discovered through DNA analysis that the hybrid progeny inherited the maternal domestic pig’s rapid reproductive cycle, allowing populations to quickly multiply, unlike that of the boar, according to findings from the Journal of Forest Research.”Hybrid pigs are also being developed in other parts of the world

SURPRISE: Moderna began work on Ebola mRNA vaccine just months ago

Well, what do we have here?

Not long ago I reported on how the vaccine maker Moderna had in fact begun development of an mRNA vaccine against hantavirus already in 2024.

What is also interesting is how they had a patent on a particular sequence that happened to also be in the covid virus. And this particular sequence is actually what made it unique and very infectious to humans. They got this patent years before the outbreak of covid.

Now, guess what?

The WHO has just declared a global health emergency over the Ebola outbreak that has happened in Africa.

Now the mainstream media has gone into full panic mode over Ebola, and it seems like the previous fearmongering over hantavirus just disappeared almost overnight.

Guess what I found?

Turns out that just some months ago Moderna began development of a new mRNA vaccine against Ebola with $26.7 MILLION in funding from an organization called CEPI.

This together with Oxford University who is also creating an Ebola vaccine on the same platform as the AstraZeneca covid vaccine.

Guess who is a major backer of this CEPI organization?

Bill Gates of course.

So what is going on?

Oh, and AI will be used to help develop this new Ebola vaccine to trigger a strong immune response.

Biden DOJ Protected the SPLC Grift Because the Hate Group Was Literally Training Its Prosecutors: Report

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) exposed how the Biden Justice Department opened—then deliberately shelved—a criminal investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 

Jordan claimed the previous administration’s DOJ, under then-Attorney General Merrick Garland, discovered the SPLC was operating what has been described as a lucrative scam. 

“They had opened an investigation. They were looking into this group. They knew the Southern Poverty Law Center was running a scam, but they dropped the case,” Jordan said

He detailed how the group had become so deeply embedded with the department, training prosecutors and serving as a key source for efforts that labeled pro-life Catholics and conservatives as domestic extremists.

“When you meet with them, consult with them, have them train your prosecutors, well, guess what? You’re not gonna prosecute them,” Jordan explained. “They’re too valuable politically. You gotta use them for your political advantage. And that’s exactly what the Biden administration did.”

The Ohio congressman noted how the SPLC used the now-infamous “Richmond Memo” in an effort to portray traditional Catholics as politically extremist. 

“That memo says, if you’re a pro-life Catholic, well, you’re an extremist, you’re dangerous,” Jordan said. “The SPLC became part of the weaponized effort of the Garland Biden Justice Department against the American people.”

Jordan also highlighted a stunning example from the SPLC’s own operations that underscores the alleged hate-for-profit model, which has been covered here at RedState. The Justice Department last month filed an 11-count federal indictment charging the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering for secretly funneling more than $3 million in donor cash to actual extremists.

Among those nefarious payments was a staggering $270,000 allegedly paid to a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. That paid insider attended the event at the SPLC’s direction, helped coordinate transportation for attendees, and even made racist postings under the group’s supervision.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center almost tripled their income. They went from $51 million annual income to $133 million,” Jordan said. “Turned out for them, creating hate was more profitable than fighting it. That’s exactly what they did. They ran a scam, they became the standard, they didn’t get prosecuted, and they made a ton of money.”

That rally, of course, led to the wholly media-manufactured “fine people” hoax. As Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche noted, the group had been caught “manufacturing racism,” which, in this particular case, indirectly led to the death of a rally attendee.
