Unfortunately for the “Hands Off” protestors, America has not forgotten what happened when they were in charge.
The Left’s vision of heaven is everyone else’s idea of hell. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from last weekend’s “Hands Off” rally and the Left’s hands-on approach in the locales they have governed over the last few years. As the Left becomes angrier and more militant, expect them to only reinforce this conclusion.
Instead of seeing the 90-day pause on tariffs for most of the world and the rallying stock market as a sign of trade negotiations going well, ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin used her platform on Thursday’s edition of The View to accuse President Trump of “certainly” being “guilty of insider trading.” Her evidence? A social media post vaguely touting the market.
A man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf club said the president was “not good for Ukraine” and tried to buy a rocket launcher.
Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to purchase a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) from someone he believed to be a Ukrainian arms dealer one month before allegedly attempting to kill Mr Trump.
Mr Routh communicated with someone he believed had access to the military via an encrypted messaging app.
The left rages against Trump but offers no real alternatives on debt, trade, or immigration—just noise, while results quietly pile up.
Two strange phenomena now characterize the political landscape.
One, opposition to the Trump administration’s initiatives has reached a near-unprecedented fever pitch.
The frenzy is manifested in strange ways. At the bottom end, there is an epidemic of street terrorism, including the keying of Teslas, bullying their owners, firebombing dealerships, or vandalizing charging stations.
It was as though NPR had manifested itself in human form
As soon as reports began appearing from last Saturday’s massive “Hands Off” protests in the United States, the usual right-wing canards began to pop up as well: doctored photos, overstated crowds and, most stereotypically, professional paid protesters. Tweet after tweet showed the usual Craigslist ad, offering $200 for anyone who’d be willing to stand around with a placard for a couple of hours.
No one would argue that there’s a professional protest infrastructure in the United States, and that if you followed the money trail, you could trace a lot of the funding back to the kinds of NGOs that the government is trying to defund and shut down. The sinister invisible hand of the Soros family is dipping in there somewhere. But it’s ludicrous to imagine that they’re spending that money to buy protesters. They don’t need to.
In a huge, five-page, 3,200-word spread in Sunday’s Washington Post, Style section writer Jada Yuan heaped more liberal bile on the grossly anti-Christian, anti-family, pro-baby death, and far-left crowd behind the show The Handmaid’s Tale ahead of its final season. As is usually the case with puff pieces on the show, Yuan left out that star Elizabeth Moss is a devout Scientology which, if there ever was a dangerous cult, that’s it.
The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.”

In a parenthetical buried in his new memoir, Graydon Carter recounts the story of how his 1984 GQ cover story of Donald Trump — which sold well on newsstands — convinced Condé Nast owner Si Newhouse to publish The Art of the Deal. That book led to The Apprentice, which led to the second half of Trump’s career as media personality and then president.
“As they say, a butterfly’s wings,” Carter writes.
Far-left, billionaire-funded NGOs—closely aligned with the rudderless and imploding Democratic Party—have been waging a psychological warfare operation against the American people. Framed as “grassroots,” the party of hate and violence—evident in their “Tesla Takedown” color revolution aimed at killing Tesla to pressure Elon Musk on DOGE—has been building momentum in recent weeks to segue into anti-Trump protests this weekend. The goal is to manufacture the illusion that Trump is wildly unpopular, leveraging a vast network of dark money-funded NGOs that supply rent-a-protesters to rallies nationwide.
With Donald Trump as president, there is now a heavy strain of Christian nationalism driving the US political agenda. From draconian abortion policies to ending birthright citizenship, some of Trump’s first executive orders sound startlingly like something out of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, the dystopian novel turned TV show set in Gilead, a fundamentalist, fascist version of the US where women have no rights. But it is urgent we understand that what is happening in the US could happen here. This road to Atwood’s Gilead is charting a course straight through the UK and Europe, and we may well be sleepwalking on to it.
The Guardian has no shortage of hysterics.
Opponents of President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk rallied across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the administration’s actions on government downsizing, the economy, human rights and other issues.
More than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations were planned by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists. The protests are planned for the National Mall in Washington, D.C., state capitols and other locations in all 50 states.
Yawn.

Anti-Trump protesters descend on DC to rally against Musk’s DOGE cuts, new tariffs: ‘Let’s keep them afraid!’
They’re against wasteful gov’t spending, stopping the illegal alien invasion and Lord knows what else.
Vancouver police are investigating after a woman was injured by a large rock that smashed into the window of a Tesla she was riding in.
Police said the woman was in the passenger seat of a grey 2022 Tesla heading north on Nanaimo Street near East 27th Avenue at around 8:45 p.m. on Sunday when a flying rock smashed into the windshield, hitting her.
The rock landed on the vehicle floor. The woman, who is pregnant, suffered a serious but not life-threatening injury.
We don’t want their cowardly cosplayers
Many of us born post-1945 have wondered at some point how we might deal with an approaching fascist threat. Luckily, we have three preeminent American scholars of fascism to help advise us. And the answer from Professors Jason Stanley, Timothy Snyder, and Marcia Shore seems to be: run away.
Stanley, the philosopher-author of How Fascism Works, says he is leaving the States for Canada because of the oppressive political climate. Historian Shore, who writes about totalitarianism and is married to fellow historian Snyder of On Tyranny fame, pronounces herself “heartbroken at what has happened to my own country”. All three were at Yale, and soon will be at the University of Toronto; safely away from Trump’s targeting of DEI policies, and the recent slashing and burning of university funding. His rationale, insofar as anyone can discern it, is combatting antisemitism on campus, though what the exact connection is supposed to be is not entirely clear.
We now know the names of the people leading the “resistance” against President Donald Trump and the attacks on Elon Musk. They occupy the highest levels of Congress and the pinnacle of the Ivy League. They’ve called for more attacks against Tesla and are leading “resistance” training to get more of it on the streets. Just like they did in 2017, leading to the Summer of Love.
The propaganda press is once again distorting the truth — and in some cases, flat out lying — to discredit and undermine President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. In the latest example, the media are painting an illegal alien — who is allegedly a gang member — as merely a “Maryland father” with “protected legal status” who was “mistakenly” swept up in a mass deportation.
On Monday, The Atlantic’s Nick Miroff wrote that the Trump administration “mistakenly” sent a “Maryland father with protected legal status” to a Salvadoran prison due to an “administrative error.”
