The insane left keeps shooting itself in the foot!
Click for video.
The recent string of vandalism of Tesla vehicles as well as swatting attacks on well known conservatives by leftist crazies might be scary, horrifying, and disgusting, but if you take a step back from these emotions for a second to look dispassionately at the situation, you will realize these attacks are only the dying screams of a bankrupt political movement that has no proposals, no ideas, and no goals except the obtaining of power — now through the use of violence because its political support has dropped to such record lows.
First, the attacks are beyond senseless. In the case of the vandalism of Teslas, the attacks are actually doing harm to those who in the past were most likely to have supported the Democratic Party’s leftist political agenda. Conservatives in general have not been buying electric vehicles, because they have no need to virtue signal leftist climate goals. So, by damaging Teslas owned by innocent bystanders, just because the car was built by a company founded by Elon Musk, the vandals are not only not winning converts to their cause, they are making enemies of people who were once on their side.
Second, these attacks are not going to go unpunished, as have past violent misbehaviors by the left. Rioters are difficult to track down, and even if the authorities can catch them it is difficult to prove guilt in a court of law. Furthermore, in the past the left controlled all levels of government, and the authorities were in favor of those riots, encouraged them, and thus would quickly dismiss most charges after the fact.
The situation now is very different. First, Teslas have more cameras than the biggest film studio. Any vandalism is captured on video in great detail. You key a Tesla and your face is going to be quickly plastered all across the web. You are going to identified quickly, arrested, and prosecuted. We have already seen several such examples, as illustrated by the picture above.
The same thing applies to swatting. Making a false report of violence to the police — so that they show up at someone’s home armed and fully expecting violence — not only puts the home-owner at great risk, but risks the lives of the law officers as well. Police departments do not look kindly on such swats, and work hard to arrest the perpetrators.
In the past local authorities were often stymied by Biden administration officials, who approved of the swatting of conservatives and wished to protect the wrong-doers. Under Trump the situation is entirely reversed. Now local and federal officials are eagerly teaming up to identify swatters. And since such calls can be traced with today’s technology, and since the recent wave of swats appear to be clearly part of an organized effort, it should not take long for the authorities to identify and arrest the culprits.
The left is now trapped in a circular firing squad
That leftists are doing these senseless acts of violence however illustrates the mindlessness and bankruptcy of their movement. It has nothing but violence and hate to drive it. In an authoritarian society this violence and hate might lead to power and rule, but not in America. We still remain a nation of laws and rule by election. Violence and hate only leads to arrests and prosecution, fully supported by the general public. And it only lowers the support for any movement that engages in such barbaric behavior.
Thus, this vandalism and swatting are merely the short term manifestations of a dying movement. As these thugs get prosecuted and sentenced to prison, the attacks will fade. And at that point, either the left will finally start to reassess its actions and policies, or it will die as a political movement.
Don’t expect any reassessment, however. That the left has now descended to this idiocy indicates its inability to self-assess. It is so certain it is right that it thinks shooting itself in the foot is a sure way to win new adherents.
Keep it up, Democrats! We on the right are thrilled you are proving yourselves to be this stupid.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

My grandson loves watching the Tesla crashes on the Internet, so many cameras capturing every detail.
I know the justice department is overwhelmed, still getting it’s feet on the ground while being hindered by activist judges, is encourage to run like crazy… I hope they have their AI algorithms looking through the faces of Antifa, black lives matter, and other protesters that destroyed Billions of dollars of property, to charge those who are guilty. That also goes for January 6 antagonist protesters who are working for the FBI and Nancy Pelosi.
This article on leftist progressive sounds just like a movie we watched on Netflix last night! Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Strep as president (actually playing herself) it might be in the running for the worst movie of the year. A comedy in the same tradition as The movie ” Idiocracy “. The difference is this movie,” don’t look up” perfectly illustrates the clueless crazy liberals of today.
Idiots who don’t believe in the comet, so they refused to look up? Hollywood at its worst mimicking real life.
Leftists practice two minutes of hate……………..every two minutes.
Related: Why is it related? Because the American education system has turned out a segment of the population that are unable to think rationally and they have been weaponized by the radicals who seek to destroy America. Who primarily owns Tesla’s? The “progressive” Democrat party “Climate Change” worshipers. Does that make sense? Not supposed to make sense, they are Communists.
WHAT HAS THE AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM ACCOMPLISHED?
“If you were unsure about why the Trump administration was highly focused on disassembling the United States Department of Education, I think this short video of a Wisconsin meeting on education reveals what the American education system has actually accomplished since it was instituted. In my opinion the system poses a direct threat to American security and freedom.”

Ever notice that every cause our wokescolds nag us about … from climate change to COVID to civil rights … has two common characteristics:
> Their “solutions” consistently impose ever more top-down control upon the rest of us.
> Advancing the specific cause is consistently subordinated to expanding this top-down control.
It seems that our wokescolds are Progressives first, (insert cause here) second.
Yes, the facts that Democrats are not calling out this violence out and democrat/leftist media propelling this hate, shows what Scott Adams cited that Democrats are destructive to our country and offer no solutions. The party of no; no brains, no sense, no common law, party of actors with no script, no respect of other’s property, no understanding of their own actions, no logic, and ultimately no future.
The latest stunt is their going home so as to preclude a quorum.
Had it been the other way around–they’d likely just keep passing legislation. Pelosi’s worst act was telling the GOP which Republicans would be allowed on panels.
But how will the GOP respond? Being good little proceeduralists like Sessions?
A Rasmussen poll:
“Tesla automobiles and Tesla dealerships have been vandalized by anti-Trump protesters. Is vandalism against Tesla an appropriate form of protest?”
NO –
DEM: 61%
IND: 79%
GOP: 78%
All Voters: 72%

What real human beings look like. This is a 2 minute video that went viral last week of Trump walking to the Marine One helicopter with Elon Musk’s son Little X bouncing along beside him. At one point Trump turns towards the reporters and draws X in the air and points at him.
https://x.com/cb_doge/status/1900681542353236349
Walking behind them are Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick (Secretary of Commerce) and Stephen Miller (Homeland Security Advisor). All brilliant.
Howard Lutnick was chief executive and president of the financial company Cantor Fitzgerald located in the World Trade Center. 658 of his employees were killed on 9/11. Lutnick would have been there but was taking his son to kindergarten. He has the same compassion for people that Trump has.
There is another socio/politucal point to make here. I will put it in the form of a “truism”.
“Your Friends and Allies don’t make you GREAT. Your enemies do.”
I heard this as a quote from a Native America Leader from the 19th cnetury. “A man’s greatness can be measured by the power of his enemies”.
Let them howl. We have long passed the point where this terrorism can actually effect anything, I look at it this way.
The American Electorate looked at Harris and at Trump. They voted. No one questioned the actual Verdict in 34 felony charges. They didn’t care.
34 felony convictions and they still felt that Trump was the more trustworthy candidate.
Then came the sentencing, which no one is willing to laugh at out loud, At least I haven’t seen it anywhere.
Unconditional Discharge
Pretty much told the whole world that the whole Kangaroo Court that convicted Trump on 34 felonies as a complete sham.
So here it is
LOL!!! Laughing Out Loud.
Sadly, possibly related?
SERVED PRESIDENT BIDEN AND COMPANY PROUDLY
“From day one this young lady who has passed too soon, a highly placed D.C. Department of Justice lawyer apparently loyally served the agenda of the last 4 years January 20th, 2021, to January 20th, 2025. A most controversial high pressure and contentious time in American political history to say the least. ”

I hope the left never learns and the democratic party stays married to them.
The republicans and the right just have to keep speaking the facts and logic. this is catching on with more and more people.
Trump is doing all he can by staying off the social media as best as possible and staying course on his policies.
The INSANITY of the Left further confirms that leftism is a MENTAL ILLNESS! The DEMOcrats have supported and promoted so many anti-America, anti-SANE policies and actions that one must conclude – THEY ARE TRULY INSANE!
One thing that PRESIDENT TRUMP should WARN the DEMOcrats about is this coming “Summer of DEMOcrat Hate” and the ensuing riots. He should, in no uncertain terms, state that there will be NO TOLERANCE for ANY DESTRUCTION of PROPERTY or LIVES! It’s sickening to contrast the treatment of simple SIGHTSEERS who were ALLOWED to ENTER through doors HELD OPEN by CAPITOL POLICE vs the destructive RIOTERS who murdered many innocent people and destroyed BILLION$ of property!! But, it’s EASILY EXPLAINED – DEMOcrat Two Tiered Injustice!! I do hope and Pray that those days are over forever!
LISTENING TO NPR IS ENLIGHTENING
“I am listening to NPR and Brian Lehrer this morning and the conversation subject matter is: How Elon Musk and Howard Lutnick are out of touch with Social Security and their calling it a Ponzi scheme because they are billionaires. ”
“(Social Security Is a Legal Ponzi Scheme: Social Security Is a Legal Ponzi Scheme | Cato at Liberty Blog “Unlike a genuine savings account, where individual contributions accumulate and grow over time, Social Security’s structure is far more akin to a classic Ponzi scheme.”) A Ponzi scheme by any other name is still a Ponzi scheme.”

I’m not at all sure that the lack of speed of seeing perps in jumpsuits and handcuffs, prisons and gallows, is sufficient for this to be true…
The original SS system relied on the death of the recipient. No one was expected to live on SS for 10 years they expected you to die long before then.
Now people live for 20 to maybe 30 years beyond retirement age.
Heck I expect to receive SS while both my parents are alive. Or get real close.
Will they adjust retirement age up to 70 or even 80?
At that point will we just be able to retire on our own private retirement for 10 or 15 years and then use SS?
The very worst thing about SS is what the government is allowed to not do or do with it.
By law they are not allowed to invest it in anything, especially things like the private sector or Stocks and bonds. Wall Street.
But they are allowed to sell off the cash in treasury bonds and place that converted cash into the general fund. Treasury bonds require interest when they are traded back in. Who pays that interest? We do.
So our children not only get to pay into SS but get to repay the treasury bonds and interest.
Its not like the government is allowed to invest the cash from treasury bonds into private investments. It gets spent on the general It gets spent on things the government doesn’t make money on.
We MUST end the sale of T bills in all forms. Spend the next 30 years paying them off and never selling them again. We can not pay the interest.
Interest should be paid to the government for the loan of our cash
The US Government should never borrow cash again..
