George Foreman vs Megan Rapinoe; a study in contrasts
Hooray: Ben & Jerry’s owner Unilever is dropping the anti-Israel lunacy
"Consumers appreciate this retreat: The brands we buy, the clothes we wear and the food we eat shouldn’t be political. Companies are increasingly realizing that — and that their shareholders may pay a price for unpopular or controversial stands."
Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food got me through untold breakups in college.
Drowning my sorrows in a pint was a great consolation prize for my heartbreak.
"But in 2021, I soured on the brand when it announced plans to stop selling its ice cream in what it referred to as the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
"The good news?
"Recent pushback by critics — and consumers — prompted B&J’s parent company, Unilever, to respond, just as other companies have been shedding their DEI and woke images.
"And that’s major grounds for hope.
"In 2021, co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield defended the brand’s positions on Israel in The New York Times: “The company’s stated decision,” they said, “is a rejection of Israeli policy, which perpetuates an illegal occupation that is a barrier to peace and violates the basic human rights of the Palestinian people who live under the occupation.”
"Yes, their views have always been naïve, lefty nonsense, and they’re well-known for making their political beliefs a part of their business.
"In 1998, Ben & Jerry’s faced pushback when it announced it would no longer buy water from an Israeli company in the Golan Heights because of what it called an illegal occupation of the area.
"But after Oct. 7, the board of Ben & Jerry’s actually argued that pro-Palestinian demonstrations across US college campuses play a vital role in upholding democracy. The Vermont-based company, which sells its products at some universities, had also advocated for a lasting cease-fire in Gaza, never mind that the threat of future Oct. 7 attacks would remain."

Political Consultant Rick Wilson says it’s time to “Kill Tesla.”

- "The Soros-funded rats are scurrying to encrypted apps, plotting their anti-Tesla, anti-Trump tantrums in the shadows. Indivisible’s leaders aren’t just paranoid—they’re guilty. Why else ditch open channels for cloak-and-dagger schemes? This isn’t activism; it’s a conspiracy against America’s future, bankrolled by a globalist ghoul who’s spent billions to destabilize nations. They fear federal eyes because their hands are dirty. Trump supporters, wake up—this is war on our values. Soros’s puppets at Indivisible aren’t grassroots heroes; they’re a well-oiled machine, flush with cash to sabotage progress. Tesla’s innovation and Trump’s leadership threaten their socialist utopia, so they hide like cowards. Fact: Soros’s Open Society has funneled over $32 million into radical groups since 2000, including Indivisible’s parent networks. That’s not charity—it’s a power grab. We’re done with their games. Trump’s coalition—builders, not destroyers—will crush this fifth column. Patriots, amplify this outrage, expose their cowardice, and rally for a nation that works. More at X" . . .
"The goal of “Tesla Takedown” is to employ domestic terrorism through the use of violence, fear, and intimidation to achieve its political objectives. The movement aims to coerce the Trump Administration into conceding to its demands by amplifying the psychological impact of their actions beyond the immediate victims to create widespread disruption.
"The Trump Administration and state governments are right to label this movement as much more than a protest movement. Hopefully, prosecutions on both the state and federal levels will ramp up dramatically in the weeks and months to come."
"Have you heard any prominent Democrats coming out and condemning the violence, as many Republicans did after the Jan. 6 riots?" I&I

New: AG Bondi Announces 'Severe Charges' in Tesla Arson Cases . . ."From the DOJ press release:
“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
- One defendant, also armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle, was arrested after throwing approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon.
- Another was arrested in Loveland, Colorado after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails. The defendant was later found in possession of materials used to produce additional incendiary weapons.
- In Charleston, South Carolina, a third defendant wrote profane messages against President Trump around Tesla charging stations before lighting the charging stations on fire with Molotov cocktails.
- Each defendant faces serious charges carrying a minimum penalty of five years and up to 20 years in prison. . . .
Left-Wing Lunatic Hunts Down Tesla-Driving Mom in Scary Scene, and That's Not the Craziest Part . . ."Those attacks have likely been incited by prominent Democratic Party figures and their press allies, with everyone from Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) making wink-and-nod suggestions that people go after Tesla as a way to harm Musk. All of this is supposedly being done because the Trump administration has dared to cut back on America's bloated, previously unaccountable bureaucratic state."

"The far left and its “progressive” billionaire supporters and top Democrats all silently support this activity."
. . ."Musk himself believes these are well-planned acts of terror. “An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” Musk wrote on X.
"A group called “DOGEQUEST” is even doxxing “private home addresses and contact info of DOGE employees, their families, some private Tesla owners and Tesla stores.”
"The toxic, and at times inciting, rhetoric in the media and by Democrats against Trump and his new administration has only encouraged the terrorism.
"It picked up substantially after last June’s failed assassination attempt, when an aide to Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi posted: “I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops that wasn’t me talking.”
"Others on social media and elsewhere chimed in with similar “funny” remarks about the near-death of a presidential candidate.
"Now Musk is coming in for some of the same treatment." . . .
California Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia told CNN that Musk is “harming the American public in an enormous way,” adding that it’s time for Americans to bring “actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.”
Get it? A real fight. Real weapons.

. . ."In the video, Walz likened, conservatives to “misogynists,” to which Newsom replied by suggesting Democrats need to start changing their rhetoric if they want to appeal to more people.
“ 'I think if we say people are misogynists, then we’re falling prey, we’re in that frame,” the California governor said. “Not everybody that disagrees with us is a misogynist.”
“ 'This notion of toxicity in masculinity needs to be separated, and I think it’s been conflated, and I think we’re going to have to work on that a little bit — and look, there is a crisis with men,” Newsom added. [Moving his thumbs energetically. TD]
"Walz replied by amusingly declaring, “I think I scare them a little bit, [it’s] why they spend so much time on me,” eliciting laughter from Newsom.
“ 'No, I’m serious,” Walz insisted. “Because I can fix a truck. They know I’m not bullshitting on this. But I’m not putting in this people’s grill. My identity is not hunting. My identity is not football coaching. My identity is not a beard and a truck.”
"While talking about the MAGA movement elsewhere in the interview, Walz proclaimed that he could “kick most of their ass.”
“ 'I think I could kick most of their ass. I do think that,” Walz said, adding that he could probably “outrun” them, too.

Poll: Democrats Defend Hamas Ally Mahmoud Khalil from Deportation
"Fifty-one percent of Democrats and 73 percent of liberals oppose the deportation of a Hamas-boosting Arab migrant who led anti-Israel protests at Columbia University in New York, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports.
"The poll spotlights the Democratic Party’s risky entanglement in radical, anti-Jewish identity politics, much of which was imported by the party’s pro-migration laws and politicians.
In mid-March, Rasmussen asked 1,219 likely voters:
Mahmoud Khalil, a student from Syria who led anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, has been detained by federal immigration authorities who plan to deport him. Should Mahmoud Khalil be deported?
"Overall, 45 percent support the detention and 37 oppose the detention. Eighteen percent said they were not sure.
"Moderates split 36 percent yes, 41 percent no.
"Seventy-three percent of conservatives and 67 percent of Republicans support the detention." . . .

"When the media omit the facts that matter most, it’s clear that they are more interested in undermining the Trump administration in the court of public opinion than in informing the public about the very real threats America faces."
The Blood Is On Their Hands
Phyllis Chesler ; The Jewish Voice "As long as American and European demonstrators keep marching for death-eating Islamic barbarians; and as long as the left-liberal Western media continues to cover them in glory--this is precisely what encourages #Hamas to hold onto the Israeli hostages whom Hamas/Iran/Qatar pays to have tortured every single day and every single night, just as Hamas and PIJ have been doing for more than 500 days.
"How can people be this blind, this stupid, this heartless, this culturally suicidal?
"Forgive me for asking a rhetorical question. We see them for who they are. Their time is coming. At least I hope so.
"There is no "genocide" in Gaza. There is no "apartheid" in Israel. The IDF has not committed any "ethnic cleansing" anywhere. These crimes are only part of the Islamic/Islamist repertoire.
" Yes, the Israeli government bears a huge responsibility for not having seen 10/7 coming their way but those Israelis who demonstrate against their own government (but not against Hamas); those who suffer from Bibi Derangement Sydrome but not from Hamas Derangement Syndrome; those Israelis whose precious family members are trapped far below the earth in airless tunnels--yes, they have a say--maybe they should demonstrate in Gaza? In Qatar? (I don't really mean that and yet...)
"However, in opposing any total destruction of Hamas in Gaza; in chanting "Bring Them Home" instead of "Let them Go;" in refusing to put their nation and their people first, before their beloved own, they are condemning both themselves, their country, and their people to absolute and permanent Hell.
"What if President Trump loses patience with the Israelis--what then? Indeed, what then?
"If it were one of mine still being held hostage--I would have gone into permanent, public mourning, sackcloth and ashes, the whole megilla rather than protest my own government at this time. And, at the same time, I would pray for the success and safety of the IDF."
Bad judges made by bad law schools
"The gang of lower court judges that is interfering with President Trump’s executive responsibilities, is not unique. It is hard to find a judge who can separate politics and law, or emotion and feeling, from thinking and understanding."
 |
| Rich Terrell |
Bad judges made by bad law schools . . ."Since there is a deep symbiosis or common culture, among all the lawyers, judges, clerks, congressmen and politicians, most with legal backgrounds, their loyalty is to this tribe.
"The glue that holds it all together as a closed cultural system, is the law school. It defines, protects and perpetuates legal culture, legal tradition, legal systems, and legal symbology.
"Because law schools are set up as graduate professional schools, they hold out a career path, and one that can achieve high remuneration, competitive prestige and rewards. This means that being “clever,” is highly valued. It is antithetical to restraint. This includes even technically bypassing the law, which law schools call “work-arounds.” And because they are also trained to defend crime by finding rationale, excuse, deniability, and dozens of theories of defense, it is not hard to imagine a certain sense of entitlement among judges and their clerks. "Sometimes acting above the law can be thought a higher discretion of their trained judgement, justified by the inherent nature of “living law” and their professional status to freely determine what that is, rather than restricted by what it is not. Legal restraint is replaced by legal supremacy.
"This is where some judges get into trouble, because now they can turn to liberal abstractions of equity, fairness, and justice, which law schools hold out as their highest calling, even their duty: they then become a judge in their own cause." . . .

Boasberg sent Trump supporters to prison on 'bogus' charges "James Boasberg, the judge who granted a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump Administration from deporting violent Venezuelan gang members, "worked diligently to jail every January 6 defendant using a bogus made-up charge that was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court," a report said.
"The Obama-appointed Boasberg was one of several DC judges to sign off on the use of 1512c2, the corporate fraud obstruction statute, against J6 defendants.
"He presided over 70 J6 cases, both guilty pleas and conviction at trial. In nearly every instance, Boasberg imposed prison time even for the petty offense of 'parading' in the Capitol," investigative journalist Julie Kelly noted in a March 16 post to X.
"Boasberg sentenced 60-year-old Pennsylvania resident Sandra Weyer, who committed no violence on J6, to 14 months in federal prison on the 1512c2 count. The use of that statute to prosecute J6 defendants would later be overturned by the Supreme Court." . . .
Dictatorship of Obama Judges "It is the role of the courts to interpret laws and to stop a president from being a dictator and running roughshod over the Constitution — but who stops a dictator judge?"
. . ."You will find that more than 95 percent of the federal district judges who have been reversing Trump were appointed either by (i) Obama, (ii) Clinton, or (iii) Biden’s Autopen. They almost all are Obama Judges and Biden Judges. (RELATED: Autopen on Autopilot)" . . .

BIDEN: THE AUTOPEN YEARS
"But the other point Trump made was that the autopen signatures proved Biden had no idea what he was doing, as if that were ever in dispute. Anyone who saw Biden’s June 27, 2024, debate performance is well familiar with his galloping senescence, but Trump is nothing if not thorough. More important than Biden not actually signing the pardons, Trump said, “he did not know anything about them!”
"Of all of President Trump’s zany ideas — making boring, self-righteous Canada the 51st state, we take Gaza, Perkins Coie lawyers banned from federal buildings — his claim that Joe Biden’s pardons are invalid because they were signed with an autopen is a winner.
"As discussed last week, Biden used the pardons not to show mercy to specific individuals, but to change the law. We’re told that no one may ever challenge a president’s clemencies, because the pardon power is “plenary.” But however plenary it is, it cannot be so plenary as to allow a president to eliminate the legislative and judicial branches. Biden’s blanket pardons of entire classes of crimes and punishments do just that.
"Suppose President Stephen K. Bannon pardoned, en masse, nearly all criminal violations of the Clean Water Act. Go ahead, dump pollutants into rivers, discharge chemical waste onto wetlands, funnel nuclear waste directly into clean water reservoirs. Maybe the EPA will convict you, but not before you’re pardoned.
"Next up, pardons for criminal convictions under the Clean Air Act, freeing developers to get on with it and rip asbestos from the walls of derelict buildings and manufacturers to belch toxic smoke from their factories and build two or three new coal-burning power plants every week. You know, like China!
" 'The best news? After President Bannon issues similarly sweeping clemencies to those convicted under the Endangered Species Act, I can finally open my long-dreamed-of restaurant that serves nothing but red wolf. Everything will be endangered-licious, from appetizers to Red Wolf Velvet Cake.
"Totally proper use of the pardon power, right? Why wouldn’t our founders want a president to be able to single-handedly rewrite federal law, nullifying any statutes that he doesn’t like? Why else would they have called him “the king of America”? Surely, it’s every bit as sound as Biden’s Jan. 17, 2025, proclamation that the never-ratified Equal Rights Amendment “is the law of the land.” . . .
‘Another stinker’: Douglas Murray slams ‘woke remake’ of Snow White
Comment to this video: Disney needs to stop butchering old classics, we like the old stories just like they were.... if you want a story about people of colour or trans people or some other group...Just Write A New Story!!! Are there no writers left in this world?????
"Author Douglas Murray slams the “woke remake” of Disney’s Snow White after the film’s premiere was scaled back following backlash against woke themes and cast members.
“Disney has had a terrible run of it because it … really looks horribly dated,” Mr Douglas said.
" '“Maybe you should just invent a different story and call it something different.
“Disney seemed to know that they've got another stinker of a movie here.
“Disney clearly knows that they've got to silence their star, and that's why last week the huge launch of the film was in the middle of nowhere in Spain.
“You can't help thinking that Disney's executives must have been wishing they could also give the star a poisoned apple that would set her to sleep for many years, so she didn't appear in front of the world's press again anytime soon and diminish the movie she's meant to be promoting.”
The court is out of order; District judges are vetoing the president. This will not end well
" . . .Enabling district judges to veto presidential actions is not the same thing. It is worse because it strips from everyone the right to elect the president of their choice."
"While he was at it, why didn’t Judge Doom Boasberg not command the oceans to not rise? Look at all the money we would save on fighting global warming.
"Trump said, “I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”
"Roberts said, “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”
"Trump replied, “If a President doesn’t have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!”
"Roberts had no problem with Congress impeaching Trump for making a phone call or impeaching him for holding a rally, but Roberts sees as another matter trying to rein in a judge who is clearly off his meds.
"Well, certain judges—the ones who are darlings of the left." . . .
"Democrats Say Fire At Tesla Facility Likely Caused By Climate Change"; when parody becomes scorn

| John Russo |
"After a pod of dolphins arrived to greet the returning NASA astronauts brought home by SpaceX, outraged Democrats began protesting the dolphins' actions by spray-painting swastikas on them and setting them afire.
"Democratic leaders and their voting base, infuriated by the aggressive act of the dolphins inquisitively swimming around the capsule after it splashed down off Florida's coast, vowed to make sure they were all identified for that they are — Nazis." . . .
. . ."The Trump and Musk administration has done nothing to tackle the climate crisis, and now we're seeing the consequences," said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. "It is a sad day when climate change is so bad that it causes instantaneous combustion of a particular brand of vehicle. Curse you, Donald Trump, for bringing this upon us!"
"Walz emphasized the urgency of the climate crisis with a recent scientific study showing that if America doesn't reduce its climate emissions, thousands more Tesla cars will likely explode." . . .
