Deranged Leftists Protest Against Tesla and FOR Hamas
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
This past weekend, while normal and well-adjusted fun-loving people were out celebrating St Patrick Day, the weirdos of the land were out protesting and the protests looked, and I assume smelled, much like you'd imagine.
The wacko Leftists had a real dilemma though, a real Sophie's Choice.
They had to pick whether they were gonna protest against Elon Musk and Tesla, OR in support of a pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish foreign national.
While some simply took over streets and terrorized folks just trying to go about their daily business, others chose to get violent and destructive.
Tesla vehicles as well as dealerships and charging stations were vandalized and destroyed.
Just a few years ago the Left was in love with electric vehicles and now they are destroying the most popular brand of them.
And as for the pro-Hamas folks, they were up to their usual anti-Semitic intimidation.
As a millennial who was in the 4th grade on 9/11, I fondly remember the days when all Americans were against terrorism and those who promoted it.

Ford will unveil a next-gen electric vehicle on August 11 — planning a 'Model T Moment'
Ford is promising to unveil a major electric vehicle in August that CEO Jim Farley described as a "Model T Moment" during a financial earnings call this week. As reported by InsideEVs, Farley said that car manufacturer will reveals its plans to build a "breakthrough" EV, alongside a new platform, during an August 11 event in Kentucky. "We will be in Kentucky to share more about our plans to design and build a breakthrough electric vehicle and a platform in the U.S," Farley said on the call. Despite taking nearly a $1 billion dollar hit thanks to tariffs, Farley said that the company's "skunkworks" team, under the direction of form Tesla engineer Alan Clarke, has been developing a more affordable EV for more than a decade. "This is a Model T moment for us at Ford, a chance to bring a new family of vehicles to the world that offer incredible technology, efficiency, space, and features,' Farley said. The original Model T is one of the early vehicles that pioneered mass-produced, affordable cars in the United States, putting the country on the path toward car culture. Previous reports from last year, indicated that Ford's skunkworks team was developing an electric platform that would undergird multiple vehicles including a compact SUV, small pickup truck and a delivery vehicle of some kind. The announcement comes at fraught time for electric vehicles in the United States. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Tesla, the most well known electric vehicle manufacturer in the US, revealed its largest revenue drop in years, though that may largely be due to its CEO's largely unpopular political moves as the head of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency program. Tesla did announce a number of deals to reverse slumping sales, and plans for a cheaper Model Y. As mentioned, tariffs on everything from steel to cheap online retailers has hurt manufacturers like Ford, and President Donald Trump has been especially antagonistic toward electric vehicles. The recently passed "Big Beautiful Bill" nixes the $7,500 tax credit for EVs. The administration is also considering zeroing out fines for vehicles that exceed fuel efficiency standards. Despite massive 27.5% tariffs against Chinese EV makes like Geely and BYD, Farley said that Ford is working to compete with those companies. Chinese EVs have made inroads in its own country and elsewhere thanks to more affordable options from a variety of companies. "We believe the only way to really compete effectively with the Chinese over the globe on EVs is to go and really push ourselves to radically reengineer and transform our engineering supply chain and manufacturing process,' Farley said in the call.

Trump administration scolds allies over Palestinian statehood
Yet the Trump administration isn't wavering in its support for Israel. 'The president expressed his displeasure and his disagreement with the leaders of France, the United Kingdom and Canada,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday. 'He feels as though that's rewarding Hamas at a time where Hamas is the true impediment to a ceasefire and to the release of all of the hostages.' After Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday he intends to recognize Palestine as a state, Trump suggested on Thursday the move will complicate future trade negotiations between the neighboring countries. The three U.S. allies would join 147 other U.N. member nations in recognizing Palestinian statehood. The U.K. said its recognition of a Palestinian state was contingent on Israel not improving conditions in the war-torn strip. Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed recognition of Palestinian statehood as 'irrelevant' while calling the leaders of Canada, France and the U.K. 'clumsy' for offering a concession to Palestinian leaders before Hamas has released all the hostages it took in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. 'The U.K. is like, well, 'if Israel doesn't agree to a ceasefire by September, we're going to recognize a Palestinian state,'' Rubio said in a Fox News Radio interview on Thursday. 'So if I'm Hamas, I say, 'you know what, let's not allow there to be a ceasefire.' If Hamas refuses to agree to a ceasefire, it guarantees a Palestinian state will be recognized by all these countries in September.' In another swipe at the notion of Palestinian statehood, the State Department levied new sanctions on Palestinian Authority officials and members of the Palestine Liberation Organization on Thursday. Thursday's flurry of scorn for Canada's plans to recognize Palestinian statehood came after a relatively tame initial response to the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's announcement. When asked about the U.K. recognizing Palestinian statehood, Trump told reporters on Tuesday he has 'no view' on the issue.

Adams, Cuomo, Mamdani and Sliwa pay their respects
With help from Amira McKee IN MEMORIAM: Five candidates running for New York City mayor — as well as hundreds of NYPD officers — paid their respects this afternoon to Didarul Islam, who died in uniform in Monday's tragic mass shooting. Mayor Eric Adams, Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and independent candidate Jim Walden all gathered at the Parkchester Jame Masjid, where Islam's body lay. The officer's death became an instant political test for Mamdani, who was away on an 11-day vacation in Uganda at the time of the shooting. Cuomo drew attention to Mamdani's anti-NYPD activism in the wake of the shooting. And within hours of his return to the U.S., Mamdani was pressed about his prior support for defunding the police and his call to disband the NYPD unit that responded to the shooting. Aside from the mayoral hopefuls, Gov. Kathy Hochul and several other officials attended the funeral, including NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Attorney General Letitia James, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, City Council member Yusef Salaam, and Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Richie Torres. Reporters were there to cover the memorial to the slain officer — and to carefully watch for signs of political differences between the candidates. Adams eulogized Islam at the event and spoke of the pain of losing a loved one — but he made a point to thank the NYPD's Strategic Response Group, the elite police unit Mamdani has previously called to eliminate. 'I want to say thank you to the men and women of the New York City Police Department in general, but specifically to the men and women of SRG,' Adams said. 'They entered the building while the shooter was still alive, and they conducted a floor-by-floor search. They wanted to ensure that everyone in that building would have come out safely.' Mamdani said Monday he no longer supports defunding the police, but he also doubled down on eliminating the SRG. The unit is tasked with policing political demonstrations and has faced criticism from the New York Civil Liberties Union and others for its use of heavy-handed tactics. Islam, a Bengali immigrant and father of two with a third child on the way, had been working as a security guard when a gunman armed with a military-style rifle entered a Park Avenue building and carried out the deadliest mass shooting in the city since 2000. The three-year NYPD veteran was in full uniform when he was murdered along with three others who perished that day. Unlike the other candidates and officials there, Mamdani sat with Islam's family during the service and was greeted by them upon his arrival. He also remained to join his fellow Muslims in prayer after the political speeches concluded, as other officials filed out. While the intimate service was limited to family, friends and invited guests, hundreds of men and women, many in uniform, gathered on the surrounding blocks in the hours before the funeral, setting up food trucks and tents to eat and socialize. As the funeral began, police cleared the street outside the mosque to allow space for prayer. 'The residents of this city, indeed, this state, must show greater platitudes and gratitude for our police force, they have not received enough in years of late, in my opinion, and that must be rectified,' said Hochul, dressed in a black headscarf in line with Muslim tradition. 'They need our support.' — Amira McKee and Jason Beeferman From the Capitol NORTH COUNTRY SPECIAL LOOMS: The impending resignation of Assemblymember Billy Jones will open up a potentially competitive special election in a North Country district that straddles the Quebec border. Jones, who's serving his fifth term, has been as secure in his seat as any rural Democrat in recent years. He's run unopposed in three of his past four elections and won the other by 24 points. That was due in part to his personal popularity, but the district is as competitive as can be on paper: There are 30,392 Democratic and Working Families Party members compared with 29,920 Republicans and Conservatives. 'Republicans, for the first time in a long time, have a real chance to win this one,' Essex County Conservative Party Chair Bill McGahay said. Malone Mayor Andrea Dumas is among the Republicans being discussed as a candidate for the seat. Several Democrats have expressed interest in running as well, and Plattsburgh Supervisor Michael Cashman is 'gaining traction,' according to Clinton County Democratic Chair Brandi Lloyd. 'Democrats are definitely optimistic that this will hold,' Lloyd said. 'We're seeing a trend across the whole country — in rural areas as well — where seats are staying blue or flipping blue.' Jones announced Tuesday that he'd be stepping down later this summer. Several people familiar with his plans said they expect his resignation will come at a time that would allow Hochul to call a special election that coincides with the Nov. 4 general. — Bill Mahoney 'MY HEART IS BROKEN': Hochul demanded today that Israel work with the United States to rectify deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza — a departure for a governor who counts herself as a staunch supporter of the Jewish state. 'Allowing innocent children to starve to death is simply unconscionable, and as a mother, my heart is broken by these images of famine,' Hochul said in a statement. The reports of starvation that sparked the governor's latest remarks have also motivated other New York Democrats who support Israel to speak out against the government. Hochul has been outspoken in her support in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks, visiting Kfar Aza and advocating for the release of hostages taken by Hamas. The tides of war abroad and politics at home have shifted significantly since then. On Saturday, Reps. Jerry Nadler, Pat Ryan and Paul Tonko were among the moderate Democrats to sign a statement released by New York Attorney General Letitia James calling for immediate access to humanitarian aid in Gaza. Though Hochul was not a signatory on that statement, her recent remarks offer additional evidence there's a consensus building among Democrats, who have been deeply divided on Israel. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Israel this morning with plans to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visit an aid distribution site in Gaza, a move Hochul said she hopes will be a turning point for the crisis. 'Support for the people of Israel also requires us to demand that the Israeli government do what is right,' Hochul said. 'At the same time, we must continue to demand that Hamas release all hostages and finally bring an end to this conflict. This humanitarian crisis has gone on for too long, and it is time to secure a lasting peace that protects the lives of both Israelis and Palestinians.' — Amira McKee FREEZE THE FARE: With all the talk about freezing the rent, some New York Democrats are now pushing to freeze the fare. The MTA announced Wednesday that it plans to hike subway fares, and electeds are saying the increase would be too much for New Yorkers to bear. 'Proposing a fare hike without demonstrating meaningful improvements is offensive to hard-working New Yorkers, and that's why I'm urging all board appointees to vote no on this proposal,' Adams said, referring to the Senate-confirmed MTA body responsible for approving the plan. 'We strongly oppose this fare increase and remain committed to fighting for a more affordable and equitable city.' Under the transit authority's proposed increases, the price of a subway ride would jump from $2.90 to $3. LIRR and Metro North tickets would spike up to 8 percent. And tolls for bridges and tunnels would increase 7.5 percent. The MTA said the fare and toll changes 'are small and occur at regular intervals to keep up with inflation and avoid surprising customers with unpredictable or double-digit increases.' The hikes will need to be approved by the MTA board following a trio of public hearings in August, and would take effect in January 2025 if approved. Mamdani, who ran an affordability-focused campaign, wants to persuade Albany to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations to make MTA buses free. The MTA so far has signaled opposition to the idea. Assemblymember Michaelle Solages, the chair of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus, is also railing against the hikes. 'At a time when the federal government is deriving new ways to crunch the middle class and siphon their hard-earned dollars, New York State must be clear that we will not add to the burden,' she said. 'This proposed rate increase must be rejected, and I encourage all New Yorkers who are able and willing to make their concerns known to the MTA Board.'— Jason Beeferman FROM CITY HALL VETO, AGAIN: Mayor Adams vetoed a bill that would have decriminalized illegal street vending, a late Wednesday night surprise that shocked the City Council. Existing criminal penalties are 'an important enforcement tool,' Adams wrote in a brief veto message. The bill was meant in part to protect street vendors — many of them immigrants — from deportation. The bill's sponsor, Council Member Shekar Krishnan, was furious, saying in a statement that 'Adams did Donald Trump's bidding by vetoing my legislation that protects our immigrant small business owners.' Adams spokesperson Zachary Nosanchuk denied the veto had anything to do with the mayor's coordination with the Trump administration. Instead, he said the mayor was concerned the law would prevent the NYPD 'from intervening, even in the most egregious cases.' Adams' stamp of disapproval came hours after he also vetoed the council's decision that would have blocked a casino bid from moving forward in the East Bronx. Speaker Adrienne Adams' office has not yet said whether she's planning to schedule votes to override the vetoes. — Jeff Coltin AROUND NEW YORK — BIG 'RIG': House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries bashed the Trump administration, accusing the president of attempting to 'rig' Texas' congressional map.
