Tesla Takedown: Protesters Rally in Seattle to Oppose Elon Musk's Influence. The left has lost their minds. pic.twitter.com/OdTadWwAf3— 𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐂𝐇 (@pr0ud_americans) March 30, 2025

History’s lessons are brutal: movements cloaked in moral fervor, crushing dissent with righteous fists, collapse into chaos. Mussolini’s Brownshirts stormed Jewish shops and beat “traitors” to enforce Fascist unity; Mao’s Red Guards humiliated professors and torched books to purify China’s soul. Today, in March 2025, we see a chilling parallel—Tesla dealerships firebombed, Cybertrucks vandalized, owners hounded. This isn’t mere protest; it’s a “whistle dog army,” as I call it, unleashed against Elon Musk’s wealth and Trump ties, echoing the thuggish zeal of Brownshirts and the cultural purge of Red Guards. Rooted in decades of Democratic centralization, this smiley-faced fascism—Jonah Goldberg’s...

With President Trump threatening to withhold $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University, president Katrina Armstrong agreed to dial back the antisemitism that has been allowed to disrupt the education of the school's Jewish students. The targeted antisemitic actions include masked protesters intimidating and blocking Jews from attending classes and professors from the school's Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS) Department spouting anti-Semitic propaganda--one of whom, Dr. Joseph Massad, described the Hamas October 7, 2023 massacre of over 1,000 Israeli men, women, and children as "awesome." This weekend, Armstrong conducted a Zoom call to 75 faculty members...

... “If Allah does not love sinners, neither does he tell Muslims to give universal love to others. In fact he commands his followers, “Do not take as close friends other than your own people” (sura 3:118). The Encyclopedia of the Qur’an explains that in Islam “one can truly love only [fellow] believers, since love for unbelievers separates one from God and . . . is equivalent to lining up on the side of the enemies of God. “This stands in stark contrast to Jesus’s command to his followers to love their enemies.“Therefore, Muslims and Christians might all be on...

An international clinical trial has identified a medication that can help prevent symptomatic COVID-19 in people exposed within households. The results could be particularly important for families where someone is at high risk of serious complications from the illness. The drug, ensitrelvir, is already approved in Japan to treat mild to moderate COVID cases. The SCORPIO-PEP trial, however, has demonstrated that it also has the potential to protect against illness. Uninfected people who began taking the antiviral within 72 hours of symptoms first appearing in a household member were significantly less likely to contract COVID-19 than people who were given...

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I have followed Socrates for over a year now. I was told by friends you run the most unbiased site in the industry. I greatly appreciate how objective it really has been. ….. ANSWER: I believe that pressure is building within the system, and it is that pressure that compels people to react. The computer forecasts that pressure, not some order that Trump may or may not sign. Trump is compelled to take action because of the pressure. The computer tells us when that pressure will reach a turning point that compels a response. We have lost...

An American businessman is urging President Trump to help save his $200 million canned-food empire after Russian authorities took over his company and seized its assets. Los Angeles-based Leonid Smirnov, who fled Soviet communism in the 1970s, says he’s in a race against time to save Glavprodukt — the Campbell’s of Russia — which he founded in 1999 and built into a household name in his homeland. “What’s happening with my company is a raid under a government seizure and confiscation attempt,” If it can happen to him, he said in a warning to Trump, it can happen to any...

German start-up Isar Aerospace developed the rocket and had warned ahead of the test that the initial launch could end prematurely. The company said 30 seconds of flight was enough time to register data. "Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success,"

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry expressed disappointment after voters rejected a constitutional amendment he said would have been a game changer for the state. Although there were four amendments on the ballot, Amendment 2 seems to be the one the governor hoped to pass, as it was the only one his message addressed. Many decried the amendment from the start, and a group of residents filed suit to get it removed from the ballot. The Louisiana Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit, a move the governor applauded, but then came election day, and a higher-than-expected voter turnout would...

The Telegraph via Yahoo News Chinese company investigated after Bangkok skyscraper collapses in earthquake Sarah Newey Sat, 29 March 2025 at 1:03 pm GMT-4 A Chinese-backed contractor is facing an investigation over the collapse of a 33-floor skyscraper in Bangkok in Friday’s earthquake. The unfinished building’s glass facade tumbled to the ground in a heap of smoke and dust, trapping dozens of people in the rubble, when a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit central Myanmar, some 800 miles from the Thai capital. But despite the skyline of the megacity being dotted with cranes, no other construction site reported similar collapses. Eight...

Credit: David Song/NYU. ================================================================== Professors from NYU and the University of British Columbia have resolved the Kakeya set conjecture in three dimensions. Mathematicians from New York University and the University of British Columbia have resolved a long-standing geometric problem known as the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions. This conjecture explores the minimal space required for a needle, or line segment, to point in every direction within a given space. The idea originates from a 1917 question posed...

A POST BY TOM HAVILAND Laura Kasner, embalmer Richard Hirschman and I have been in contact for the last year with a scientific team led by retired organic chemist Mr. Greg Harrison. Greg’s team, which is spread over several continents and includes scientists at several unnamed universities, have been analyzing samples of the “white fibrous clots” provided by Hirschman, trying to determine their exact composition and the mechanism by which these strange clots are forming. (Hint: The Covid mRNA vaccines are heavily involved.) Greg’s team has put the white fibrous clots through multiple tests. The first test was an Inductively...

During most times and among most people, good relations between Mexico and the United States would be looked upon as a good thing. But if you feverishly hate Trump, you root against American interests, like David Frum of The Atlantic magazine. It's no big surprise since a few months ago, Frum wildly accused Trump of planning to build a network of "concentration camps."In his latest symptom of extreme Trump derangement, Frum snarled on Friday that the good relations currently being enjoyed by the two neighbor nations is in reality "appeasement" by Mexico. The headline was "Why Sheinbaum Can Surrender to...

U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, told American journalist Tucker Carlson in an interview on March 21 that Ukraine's leadership has agreed to hold a presidential election. -snip- "Do you think there will be elections in Ukraine?" Carlson asked. "Yes. There will be. They've agreed to it. There will be elections in Ukraine," Witkoff responded without providing further details.

Some parents are voicing frustration as school districts in North San Diego County install tampon machines in elementary school boys’ bathrooms to comply with a relatively new state law. The installations began at the start of the 2024-25 school year and are ongoing to this day, prompting some parents to argue it’s a waste of taxpayer dollars, inappropriate, and a recipe for disaster. “It’s absolutely ludicrous,” said Marci Strange, chairwoman of the North San Diego County-based Taxpayers Oversight for Parents and Students, or TOPS

Donald Trump went on tirade against Russian President Vladimir Putin during an early morning phone call on Sunday. President repeatedly said he is 'pissed off' at Putin for questioning Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's credibility and legitimacy after he insisted this week the war torn country needs new leadership. Trump's seemingly-full-throated defense of Ukraine and its leader comes after he previously was critical of Zelensky and claimed he was 'sick' of handling the war and aiding Kyiv. Speaking with NBC host Kristen Welker, Trump is now warning Russia it could face a new round of harsh economic sanctions for the flub...

Norfolk Southern wants two other companies to help pay for the $600 million class-action settlement it agreed to over its disastrous 2023 train derailment near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border and the toxic chemicals that were released and burned.The railroad filed the motion that is set to go to trial starting Monday to force the railcar owner GATX and the chemical manufacturer OxyVinyls to share the cost of the settlement because Norfolk Southern believes those companies are partly responsible for what happened in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3, 2023.This lawsuit won't change anything about how much money residents will receive from...
