It’s hard to fully comprehend, but in this day and age, America’s most notorious white supremacy group, the Ku Klux Klan, is having a renaissance. A new report by the Associated Press details how one of the blackest stains on American history is still alive and thriving. Adapting and rebranding themselves for the modern era, the omnipresent terrorists are resurging with the rise of Donald Trump to the Republican presidential nominee, focusing on a more publicly palatable anti-immigration message rather than the fringe calls for genocide. “You know, we began 40 years ago saying we need to build a wall,” said Thomas Robb, leader of the Arkansas Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Robb’s chapter is one of the many Klan groups seeking to reclaim the influence they once wielded, renaming themselves the Knights Party USA. One hundred and fifty years later, Southern nights are still illuminated by burning crosses and swastikas, but this time on private property, away from the public eye. Membership flourishes as anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment grows and Klan leaders are emboldened by a growing conviction “that U.S. politics are going their way, as a nationalist, us-against-them mentality deepens across the nation.”

Their new approach includes embracing the internet and the operational reach it offers, allowing members to join and purchase their trademark hoods online. They are reportedly turning to a new emphasis on toning down the horrific violence of the Civil Rights era to try to appear to the mainstream public instead of just the social dregs of disaffected racists, and in response to new federal hate crime laws that put perpetrators in jail years after their crimes were committed.

In the latest in a seemingly endless series of stories about Trump’s philanthropic misconduct, it appears that the narcissistic real estate mogul used $12,000 of charity money to make a personal purchase. And not just any self-indulgent luxury – he spent the money to buy a signed football helmet and jersey belonging to one-hit wonder quarterback Tim Tebow from his time with the Denver Broncos.

“The Donald giveth, and The Donald payeth. Blessed be the name of The Donald!” cried a far too effusive the Palm Beach Daily News of the purchase. Perpetually stingy, Trump was happy to accept the adulation but not so willing to actually pay with his own money. The Washington Post reports that instead, “the Susan G. Komen organization — the breast-cancer nonprofit that hosted the party — got a $12,000 payment from another nonprofit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation.” A spokeswoman for the Komen organization said Trump has never sent them any money.

A cursory examination of the Donald Trump Foundation records paints a very revealing picture of what kind of a selfish miser Trump is. Trump’s “charity” is mostly paid for by other people. Trump hadn’t donated to his own foundation for three years before the Tebow purchase; he’s only given $3.7 million total to the charity with his own name on it in total. Vince McMahon has given more money to the foundation that the cheapskate Trump has.

Counterterrorism, intelligence, and military experts across the board warn that a Donald Trump presidency would be an utter disaster for our national security and for the battle against terrorism across the world. The jihadis of Daesh (IS/ISIS/ISIL) are expressing their support for a Donald Trump presidency across the internet, calling him the “perfect enemy” and celebrating the possibility that Trump would weaken the United States so much that they would be able to expand their “caliphate” like never before.

Some online commentators said they were praying for a Trump victory, because “Trump’s governance will be the destroyer of America and its traitor Arab allies!” Another said “I hope and I predict that the Republicans will win [the presidential election] and they will run wild. There will be a devastating war and I believe that America will collapse like the Soviet Union” said another.
