Have y'all seen Instapundit's post about the video of "a masked male suspect [who] hunted down a [mother] for driving a Tesla"? Katie Daviscourt:

On March 19, a masked male suspect hunted down a woman for driving a Tesla in the Seattle area.  

The suspect allegedly followed the victim, cut her off, stopped in the middle of the road, exited his vehicle, and demanded she sell her Tesla, stating it was a "Nazi" car.  

This incident occurred in Lynnwood, WA, where there have been several attacks on Tesla vehicles and store property. 

This leads Glenn Reynolds to comment: 

SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET SHOT IF THIS KEEPS UP. AND FRANKLY, THEY’LL DESERVE IT. 

With Stephen Miller adding, for good measure, 

Pretty much right here is when a conceal carry permit comes in pretty handy.

Has it occurred to you — has it occurred to anybody (and especially to leftists) — that the action, beyond being reprehensible (where on Earth was the driver's "safe space"?!), makes no sense whatsoever? (Apart from virtue signalling, natch.) Let's assume the drama queen manages to terrorize (sorry, to peacefully persuade) the woman to sell her Tesla. 

First of all, what does this do Elon Musk (assuming that "Gruppenführer Musk" does indeed deserve punishment)? Nothing, absolutely nothing. The vehicle was paid for when it was first purchased from a dealership — by the woman herself or by someone else who later sold it to her (see third point below). How does pressure to (re)sell the "Nazi" car in any way affect Elon Musk, the Tesla company, or any of its dealerships? Not at all.

Second of all, how is this going to unite the Left?! The vast majority of Tesla users are not Despicable Deplorables but, I think it is fair to surmise, (devoted?) leftists. Isn't having a deranged fire-eater in camouflage and a ski mask — who looks, if anything, like a violent criminal car-jacker who indeed deserves to be resisted with a lethal firearm — threaten you and your car more likely to lead to "a liberal who has been mugged by reality"? 

These are my fellow comrades in arms?! Getting me to sell my Tesla, and/or spray-painting my Tesla, and/or keying my Tesla, and/or firebombing my Tesla, and/or spreading unspeakable filth on my Tesla (not to mention doxxing me and/or crushing my Tesla under a multi-ton Olmec head)?! Maybe Donald Trump's MAGA crowd is not as bad as it first seemed, or certainly not as bad as my fellow leftists have now become. (Spoiler: Yes, Virginia, the Locofocos were always this deranged.) 

Thirdly, and this is the most ridiculous point: So the drama queen manages to terrorize (sorry, to peacefully persuade) the woman to sell her car. Presumably, to sell it to a neighbor or a local and, presumably, to sell it to someone who wants to make use of his or her new purchase. So, guess what! The "Nazi" car has not vanished; it is still going to be on the road! The same Tesla will be driving down the very same road, or a similar road, in a day or in a week or two, and come to the attention of another deranged leftist, or perhaps to that of even the very same Locofoco, who is going to be as outraged as ski mask was a few days prior and (overre)act in exactly the same way. (If the very same dude, will he even recognize that this is the exact same "Nazi" car he did this to a few days or a few weeks before that?!) 

What's our "committed" leftist (or his partner in crime, i.e., in virtue-signalling) going to do? Stop the new owner and terrorize (sorry, peacefully persuade) him or her to sell his or her car?! Well, in that case, we're back to square one, ain't we? If the fire-eater succeeds, the new owner is also going to want to sell it to someone else, a someone who also wants to derive benefit from the purchase. And so the brand-new owner will also soon be driving his "Nazi" car the down the road… We have the makings, here, of a perpetual motion machine (or, rather, a perpetual outrage machine).

Plantu and France's "Nuanced" Cartoons of the Yankee Nation: Devilish Capitalist stereotypes, Nazi Sieg Heil salutes, bloody vampire teeth, and KKK Klansmen as White House columns

"The exit is thataway!"

Devilish capitalist stereotypes, Nazi armbands, Sieg Heil salutes, bloody vampire mouths n teeth, and Ku Klux Klan members as White House columns, all of which are contrasted with innocent baby-faced Ukraine, baby-faced Europe, and the rest of the baby-faced planet… 

The nuance and fair-mindedness of Plantu has hardly improved since he was the daily cartoonist on the front page of Le Monde…

"What's more, the faggot didn't even wear a tie!"

Closed border crossing: "Fuck Everybody Else"

  Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog can also serve as a description for Europeans:

Having utterly and spectacularly failed at preventing Donald Trump’s second term, the loony leftists in the Democratic Party are gradually shedding their Trump Derangement Syndrome for other targets upon which to demonstrably and irrationally vent their spleen. Vance Derangement Syndrome raged for a while, but it seems that the left has settled on Musk Derangement Syndrome as the best way to demonstrate their ludicrous, self-defeating behavior. So much so that Doug Ross compiled a list of Top 20 Violent Anti-Musk Protests: The Unhinged Left’s Greatest Hits.

 … [Leftists tell each other that] you simply didn’t call people who disagree with your politics Nazis hard enough. Doubling down on that will surely make your agenda of child mutilation, trannies in women’s sports, open borders and wasting taxpayer money to secretly fund the far left super popular.

"The exit is that over there!"

The NYT Interviews 14 Voters Hit by Hurricane Helene; Rare Are Those Who Defend the Left

In the wake of disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, along with ever-increasing doubts about the government, The New York Times decided to let 14 Hard-Hit Voters Debate a Big Question in the Era of Trump and Musk:

‘What Is Government For’?

The problem, for the left, is that no more than one or two of the participants — and they are of all races and from all walks of life — seems to be willing to defend the Democratic point of view outright; and that barely.

In the wake of the crises of the decade so far — the pandemic, extreme weather and natural disasters, among others — Americans have increasingly expressed their doubts about institutions, the government especially.

Since Donald Trump’s return to office and the rise of Elon Musk as a major political figure, there’s been intense focus on a simple set of questions: What should the government be for? Who should it help? What explains its failures? In Opinion’s latest focus group, we spoke with 14 people from North Carolina who were either directly affected last year by Hurricane Helene, or who had close friends or family members who were. Because of that event, many of them were directly confronted with these questions of government help and trust in institutions. At a time when the future of many government services could change significantly, we asked them about what Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk are doing and how other leaders, like Joe Biden, handled the crisis.

“The whole system of fixing things is broken. Everything that’s supposed to be in place is not there,” one participant said, describing his worries about not only North Carolina but also places devastated by wildfires in recent years. Some worried about FEMA’s future, even if they were deeply dissatisfied with the recovery efforts last year, others wanted to rethink it entirely, and others expressed frustration with the lack of understanding in this hyperpoliticized environment and the false claims that circulated last fall.

And at a time when people — including participants in this group — expressed real concern and worry about government cuts, layoffs and funding changes, many also expressed a skeptical and dissatisfied view of how government performs today. What does government do well? One participant answered, “Provide complicated explanations for why it does what it does.”

Another Chinese Belt & Road Victory; This Time, in a Black Sea Harbor on the Georgia Coast

Not content with building, only three or four months ago, the largest harbor on South America's Pacific coast (in Peru), Ivan Nechepurenko reports that China is engaged in the process of constructing a deep-water port project on the Black Sea (in Georgia), something that one would think should upset Beijing's ally Russia at least as much as, if not more than, Western nations. But apparently not, according to the New York Times. 

This, as Xi Jinping rails and sputters about having suffered a loss at the hands of Donald Trump at the Panama Canal, although China did succeed in having its preferred candidate emerge as the head of the OAS. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal's Walter Russell Mead reports that 

China strengthens its ties with Russia and Iran while Western alliances are fraying … While Western attention was largely on events in Ukraine and the Middle East, China has been steadily moving toward its long-term goals.

Ivan Nechepurenko in the New York Times:

For more than a year, pro-Western marchers in Georgia, a former Soviet republic that borders Russia, have been accusing their government of allowing Moscow to increasingly reassert its sway over their country.

But driving around this nation of 3.6 million people in the heart of the mountainous Caucasus region, the influence of another ambitious power becomes apparent. China has been stepping up its activities in the region in recent years, building infrastructure and expanding trade routes that it hopes will boost its economy.

  … To the west, preparations are underway for another Chinese company, China Communications Construction Company, to develop Georgia’s first deep-sea port on the Black Sea as part of Beijing’s Belt and Road infrastructure and trade initiative.

The port, as yet unnamed, is now at the center of a debate in Georgia and abroad about China’s growing influence in the region and the Caucasus nation’s pivot away from the West. Inflaming the situation is the fact that the project was stripped from a group of Georgian, European, and U.S. companies — the Anaklia Development Consortium — before eventually being promised to the Chinese company last May.

Salome Zourabichvili, the former Georgian president who emerged last year as a leading voice for the pro-Western opposition, said the move was like “stabbing our relations with our American and European partners.”

In July, a State Department official said that awarding the port project to the Chinese company was “incompatible” with wanting to join “U.S. and E.U.-based international organizations.” In 2019, the United States had billed the port as something that could “prevent Georgia from falling prey to Russian or Chinese economic influence.”

  … For Georgia, the port would help develop the country as a regional transport hub.

For China, the port would become a gateway to the Caucasus, linking Asia with Europe across what it calls the “middle corridor.” It would allow Chinese companies to ship their goods from China via railways in Central Asia and across the Caspian to Europe, skirting Russia, which has been the target of Western sanctions because of the war in Ukraine.

 

… Russia, which is still considered to be Georgia’s main trading partner, could also be a major beneficiary of the project. Novorossiysk, the main Russian port on the Black Sea, has been hobbled by Western sanctions, and with the new Chinese-built routes, goods could flow into and out of Russia unimpeded across the Caucasus.

The port situation highlights how the rivalry between China and the United States is growing in the region, pulling in smaller countries like Georgia.

Pure Jacobin hatred for anything pro-American: Every other decision in the Biden administration was intended to harm our country and destroy the United States as we know it

What is the Democrat message?

asks John Kass (thanks to Glenn Reynolds and also to Sarah Hoyt). 

Do they even know?

Is the Democrat message pure Jacobin hatred for anything pro-American and anything that could be considered pro-President Donald Trump?

They’re feral creatures now, lonely, isolated, frightened without leadership, desperate for relevance, without any cogent message, terrified at what’s to become of them.

And quite mad, like inmates in Victorian lunatic asylum.

 … Long ago, the Democrat Party had a choice:

Cleanse themselves of their Barack Obama infection, cleanse themselves of Obama’s racist and radical addiction to racial preferences that we now know as DEI, amputate any limbs that had become sodden with jacobin  gangrene and become what they had been: a patriotic American party of the American working class.

Or, they could continue following the discredited Clintons and Obamas down the sewer.

The Democrats chose the sewer.

They didn’t do a damn thing except scream. And their childish foot stomping was on display for all the world to see last week at President Trump’s Congressional address.

 … Democrat open borders policy that ushered in an untold number of foreign terrorists and deadly street gang members from Latin American prisons are to be protected. Anyone who threatens their power will be demonized and hounded by the jacobin mob that has been paid by U.S. tax dollars funneled through Dark Money and Soros operations via U.S. AID and other sources. These money funneling operations are protected by left-wing federal judges by Obama and his meat puppet who was on the Ukrainian payroll Joe Biden.

The aforementioned Instapundit's blogfather goes on to link Bravo Blue's John A. Lucas quoting Judd Garrett's What's Important:

Today Judd Garrett posted an article on Substack that, at least for me, is a must-read. I will link and summarize it briefly and will then add a reflection from my own experience. Judd’s article is here: What's Important - by Judd Garrett. Here are some excerpts to whey your appetite:

There is a lot of talk, speculation and fear mongering surrounding what Donald Trump has been doing since he was inaugurated in January. He is starting a trade war; the tariffs are on, they are off, they are back on again; the stock market has been very volatile; the jobs numbers were not great; we don’t have a peace deal in Ukraine; there isn’t a ceasefire in Gaza; all of our hostages are not home yet; maybe we are sliding into a recession. Democrats are claiming that Trump voters are having buyer’s remorse.

. . . . The approach to illegal immigration is a touchstone issue for me when I am evaluating a President and his administration’s performance. Under Biden, illegal immigration was at an all-time high and now less than two months into Trump’s administration, it is at an all-time low. Why is this such a defining issue? It tells me how much our President cares about the country or how much he is actively trying to destroy our country. Joe Biden was actively destroying the United States of America by not only flinging our southern border wide open and inviting the rest of the world to come in, he was actively flying plane loads of illegals to the interior of the country with pre-paid debit cards, cell phones, essentials bags and housing lined up at taxpayer expense.

That was all designed to destroy the United States as we know it. The PHDs and engineers from other countries were not coming en masse; the uneducated, the unskilled, the criminal aliens, the drug smugglers, the gang members were the ones who came. Everyday under Biden our country was getting worse and worse, regardless of what the economic indicators were saying, and it was all done intentionally which made me believe that every other decision that the Biden administration was making was intended to harm our country or at least was not designed to make our country better. Everything that was done by the previous administration was done to help ensure permanent Democrat power in Washington for decades to come and if that meant destroying the country in the process, so be it.

It is dramatically different under Trump. Trump solved our most glaring problem from day one - the threat to our national sovereignty from mass illegal immigration. I sleep better at night knowing that Tom Homan is on the job, and thousands of illegal aliens are being shipped back to their own country every day. The country gets better with every criminal alien, gang banger, cartel member who is removed from the country. Our country is not about our politicians or our laws or even about our Constitution - it is about our citizenry and removing thousands of people every day who came here to poison our communities or commit violent crimes or exploit our system and generosity, makes us better.

I don’t know how many of those other issues are going to resolve themselves - will Trump’s tariffs improve our economy? Was the Ukraine-Russia peace deal good? Will Trump’s threats to Hamas end that conflict and bring our hostages home? I don’t have the answers to those questions, but what I do know is after 4 years, we finally have a President who is putting America first, who is working in the best interests of our country and not trying to destroy it, who is willing to attack and destroy the mass unelected bureaucracy which was bankrupting America. It is finally good to know we have a president who is working for the best interests of America and its citizens.

 … I sleep well at night, knowing that we have a President who puts us and our country first.
