The Left's Hypocrisy Attacking Musk and
Free Speech

Original Article

The left has ramped up its war on Elon Musk, and it’s no surprise that his alignment with Donald Trump has drawn their ire even more. Musk has become the prime villain in their narrative, a symbol of everything they hate: free speech, free markets, and an unwavering commitment to reducing the size of a behemoth government. The latest attacks on Musk and his companies, especially Tesla, highlight a troubling and hypocritical trend.When Musk purchased Twitter (now X), he made clear his intentions of creating a platform where free speech could thrive. This was, and is, a direct challenge to the left’s previous stranglehold on traditional and social media.

to the left, any friend of DJT or Elon is worse than Satan himself and must be destroyed by any means possible, even up to and including assassination. Nothing is beyond them, and yet they call us on the right "haters".

Decorum Lost? From Washington's Rules

The Father of our Country, in his youth , wrote a book in which he extensively detailed over a hundred rules of manners and courtesy and decorum he thought were necessary for young people to learn and abide by. The book was Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation and one looks at the title, especially the last phrase of it, with a sad realization of how quaintly archaic those words sound in today’s caudron of crudity. Adam Smith said long ago “There is a great deal of ruin in a nation”

The CIA claimed to have confirmed the existence of the Ark of the Covenant by way of remote viewing — aka extra sensory perception or ESP — alleging the mysterious and sacred object is guarded by “entities” with an “unknown” power, a recently resurfaced declassified document claims. In a remote viewing session on Dec. 5, 1988, remote viewer #32 was tasked with identifying a target that, unbeknownst to them, ended up being the storied Ark of the Covenant, according to document, which was declassified on Aug. 8, 2000, and has been circulating on social media.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he was pulling the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, citing concerns about the House’s slim margin to enact his legislative agenda. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that Stefanik “will stay in Congress” after her nomination for the administration post had stalled for months. “I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,”

I remember the aftermath of the Gulf War. In a matter of a few weeks, we'd wiped the proverbial floor with the Iraqi military, previously thought to be one of the tougher ones on the planet. They'd been bloodied not that long before in a grueling war with Iran which ended in 1988. Many serving in the Iraqi Army had combat experience few of our troops had.And we kicked their butts so badly that when the ground war started, Iraqi troops surrendered to CNN. The victory sent shockwaves throughout the world.

Syria: Terrorists in Suits and Ties 3 replies

[Ahmed] Al-Sharaa, on taking power in Syria in December, originally professed to be a "moderate." The Biden administration even lifted a $10 million bounty for his arrest, for previous terrorist activity linked to Al Qaeda, presumably in the hope of moderation actually being delivered. Since that time, however, al-Sharaa and his followers have appeared more as terrorists in suits and ties. The country's new constitution, published on March 14, stipulates that Islamic Sharia jurisprudence is the sole source of judicial decision-making. This constitution also asserts that Syria's president must be a Muslim and that the executive branch has almost dictatorial powers. Moreover,

President Trump is tearing out the infrastructure of the Democrat party and setting off panic in progressive circles. According to a report in the New York Times, Trump's attacks on Democrat funding, fundraising, organizing, and legal organizations are presenting the Democrats with a threat that only Republicans have encountered in the past. The report highlights Trump imposing what amounts to economic sanctions on three major Democrat-affiliated law firms — Perkins Coie, Covington & Burlington, and Paul Weiss — via executive orders; see Trump Strips Security Clearance From Law Firm That Helped Hillary's Campaign Fund Debunked Steele Dossier –

A good and dear friend had a favorite word for times of great happiness and he used it often- at a time of a great event or hearing a great piece of music he would exclaim: Joy! We have had so much joy! lately at so many events all one can do is simply repeat the words with which President Trump opened his recent speech to Congress: “America is Back”! What could illustrate that joy! better than the return of the astronauts to a magical splashdown in the Gulf of America floating toward that magnicent water under the canopy of those huge parachutes?

An FBI agent and whistleblower critical of the bureau dating back to President Trump’s first term was arrested this week at JFK Airport and charged with illegally disclosing classified intel when he circulated his draft of a book, according to court docs. Johnathan Buma, who worked in counterintelligence, was taken into custody Monday just as he was about to hop on an international flight — and slapped with charges the following day alleging he printed confidential materials from the FBI and then shared the trove with associates in 2023, authorities said.

Another Donald Trump presidential term, another spate of violence going largely ignored — or even smirked at — by Democrats and their media friends. Tesla dealerships are being firebombed and shot at, while Tesla vehicles are vandalized and their owners assaulted. Trump-supporting influencers are getting “swatted,” set up for dangerous police encounters by opponents who phone in hoax distress calls. Relatives of Trump-aligned public figures — including the sister of US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Elon Musk’s brother — are receiving bomb threats. This cannot go on.

The Trump administration finally nabbed an immigration activist who ran from federal agents for years and hid in churches where she was shielded from arrest. Jeanette Vizguerra, a 53-year-old Mexican mom of four, was once named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People for hiding from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a Colorado church. After years of chasing her down, ICE finally got their hands on Vizguerra Monday when she was in the parking lot of the Target store in Denver where she worked, according to Jordan Garcia, another immigrant-rights activist, told the New York Times.

As the majority of Canadians cheer, the Prime Minister said that Canada as a free independent and sovereign nation will now embrace its connections to the United Kingdon and European Union and seek to replace their national dependency on the United States by severing ties in North America and entering a new era of close relations with Great Britain and Europe.

New York City's waste reduction efforts will commence a new phase next week, as the city's sanitation agency will begin enforcing a law-mandated composting program with fines. Starting April 1, residents will have to separate food waste from trash or risk receiving a $25 fine from the Department of Sanitation. While mandatory composting became effecting in October 2024, the law passed by City Council established a warning period until April 2025. What are the food separation rules? Sanitation officials say they have deliberately kept the rules simple for residents. All food, yard and food-soiled paper waste must be set out in a bin on recycling day. What should be separated?

Tesla has become a lightning rod for violent attacks and vandalism in the months since CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration. Now, people who disagree with Musk’s role in politics are hoping to channel their emotions into something peaceful: a day of mass nonviolent protests at Tesla locations nationwide. More than 200 protests are scheduled to take place Saturday during what organizers are calling a global day of action, part of a campaign called “Tesla Takedown.” The organizers are hoping to damage Musk’s political standing by hurting the sales and stock price of the electric-car maker, the foundation of

Lawmakers and union members gathered on the Minnesota State Capitol steps on Thursday to speak out against Gov. Tim Walz’s plan for thousands of state employees to return to the office. Walz sent out a memo on Tuesday notifying government employees that starting on June 1, at least half of their shifts will have to be in person. The policy would affect about 15,000 of 40,000 state workers. “Workers are angry. Workers are threatening to quit over this,” said Rep.

Not surprisingly, Democrats who repeatedly told us amid the lawfare campaign they waged against Donald Trump that "no one is above the law" seem not to hold the same view when it comes to the suspected domestic terrorists who are firing gunshots, committing arson, and planting incendiary devices at Tesla dealerships and charging stations across the country. As we reported Thursday, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) is Exhibit A on this behavior, bizarrely proclaiming on Tuesday after the FBI announced an investigative Tesla task force that the Trump administration was engaging in "political weaponization of the DOJ" and "lawfare" because t

An Israeli biotech firm says it is nearing human trials for a breakthrough drug that could extend human lifespan by up to 30 percent by targeting the age-regulating protein SIRT-6, which the company says would also improve brain function, organ health, and overall vitality. On Friday, Israeli news site N12 reported that Tel Aviv-based Sirtlab is preparing to launch clinical trials on a drug designed to stimulate SIRT-6, a protein associated with youth, vitality, and disease resistance. The treatment could be available within three years, pending successful trials and regulatory approval.

Five Senate Democrats are heading to Guantanamo Bay—not to demand justice for Americans terrorized by violent foreign gangs, but to protest the detention of members of the notorious Tren de Aragua cartel, a brutal criminal enterprise originating in Venezuela with ties to trafficking, extortion, and murder. The delegation includes Sens. Jack Reed (D-RI), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Gary Peters (D-MI), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and self-proclaimed Independent Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with Democrats. The trip was led under the guise of “congressional oversight.”

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki asserted Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration should not ‘treat everyone like they are stupid” after spending her tenure claiming former President Joe Biden was mentally healthy. Psaki told “Morning Joe” panelists that the administration is gaslighting the American people as if they are “morons” when it comes to the leaked Signal messages detailing a planned attack on the Houthis in Yemen. National Security adviser Mike Waltz inadvertently added The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat, where he has since published screenshots of internal discussions about the military’s planned attack, which was carried out on March 15.
