The Tesla attacks are getting worse.
Arson. Molotov cocktails. Bouts of gunfire.
This isn’t new. The Left has used violence as a political tool for decades.
Only one thing can stop this. In the words of Pat Buchanan: “Force, rooted in justice, and backed by moral courage.” 🧵
Since January 6, 2021, we’ve been fed round-the-clock hysteria about “domestic terrorism” from the Right.
This is what the kids like to call “gaslighting.”
The truth is, since the 1960s, political violence has overwhelmingly been a product of the Left.

Make no mistake: This isn’t just a few fringe radicals. Sure, they’re the ones who are out there tossing Molotovs in the streets. But the entire institutional Left—from the media to the education system to the Democratic Party itself—colludes to encourage, justify and excuse it.
In 1971, the Weather Underground—a far-left terrorist group—actually bombed the Capitol building, planting an explosive device in a ground-floor bathroom.
In 1983, another left-wing militant group called the Armed Resistance Unit detonated a bomb outside the Senate chamber.
In 18 months from 1971-72, we had 2500 domestic bombings—more than 5 a day.
But most Americans don’t remember this. Why? Because the Left controls the schools, the press, the whole system of organized culture—so it’s been erased from our popular memory.

We’ve seen the same thing with the Tesla attacks today. Most respectable voices on the Left won’t go so far as to outright ENDORSE the violence, of course—but they’ll distract, equivocate, and soft-peddle it.
Here’s a textbook example of how that works:

Oh, they’ll walk right up to the line—but always with just enough plausible deniability.
As deranged leftists open fire on Tesla dealerships, they’ll post articles titled “Kill Tesla” with pictures of burning cars, and then claim that they were just talking about a boycott.
But this is how the playbook always works. From the BLM riots, to the mob harassment of Supreme Court justices, to assassination attempts against Brett Kavanaugh and Donald Trump, the violent radical arm of the Left always gets the wink-and-a-nod from the “respectable” liberals.
In a healthy political system, this lawlessness would be equally unacceptable to both sides. It would be good for America to have a Democratic Party that didn’t encourage, excuse, and make common cause with violent leftists—let alone actively try to bail BLM rioters out of jail.
But that’s not what we have. So we must respond to this new era of political violence with the full force of the law. The decades-long practice of coddling leftist terrorists has been a disaster for our country. It taught the Left that these tactics work.
That has to end.

🚨 President Trump just fired the two unaccountable Democrat Commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission. This bold action challenges the core thesis of the Administrative State (that technocrats should be politically insulated) and challenges the incredibly errant 1935 Supreme Court case Humphrey’s Executor, which helped create the Deep State 🧵x.com/afergusonftc/s…
Throwing it back to your high school civics class: our nation was founded upon the idea that We the People get to pick our federal government: locally we elect members of Congress, states elect Senators, and nationally, we elect the President. All of the other people who work in our government are selected directly or indirectly by these elected officials. /2
Article II of the Constitution vests the power to execute the laws in its one officer, the President. For nearly the first century of the republic, the President could hire, fire, or appoint anyone who worked in Article II because the President has the sacred duty to “take care” that the laws of the US be “faithfully executed”

The Left spent the past decade building a vast censorship enterprise. A shadowy network of NGOs, tech groups and governments working to censor the Left’s enemies—not just in America, but across the West. Over the next four years, the GOP must expose + dismantle this system. 🧵
The censorship-industrial complex wasn’t built overnight. It’s been festering for years. But the Biden administration mobilized an unholy alliance of government power, taxpayer dollars, NGOs and Big Tech companies to build it into a global censorship powerhouse.
Seemingly every agency was a partner in building this system: FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, State Department, Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, USAID—even FEMA. Through grants and partnerships, these agencies funneled countless tax dollars to censorship groups.

The American Bar Association sat on the sidelines as our legal system was weaponized against normal Americans. Now, they launch a pressure campaign against President Trump on day one. We’ve had enough. It’s time to liberate our legal system from this failed institution. 🧵
On Feb. 10 and Mar. 3, the ABA sent two highly partisan statements parroting leftist talking points and saying “Americans expect better.”
Americans certainly expected better than the Biden Administration’s unprecedented attempt to throw their political opponents in jail (Banana republic stuff) and made that known on November 5th.

This is such a tired argument. America First means a foreign policy based on tangible American interests—not empty abstractions. Foreign adventurism isn’t “conservative” at all. It’s Wilsonian liberalism, in new clothes. The future of conservative foreign policy is REALISM. 🧵
The conservative worldview is “realist.” We oppose utopian ideology in all its forms, because we recognize that we live in a fallen world. Humans are flawed and imperfect creatures. We can’t build Heaven on Earth—and it’s highly dangerous to try. (Remember the Tower of Babel?)
That means we approach the world as it is—not as we wish it could be. We live in a world of scarcity and limits. A foreign policy that protects and advances American interests must understand that. We have to make tough choices about when and where we use our resources.

🚨Don’t look now Jack Smith and the Biden Harris DOJ are cranking back up their Lawfare machine against @realDonaldTrump. It’s Election Interference. Jack Smith is like a rabid dog after his bone. It’s time he’s leashed.🧵
After the United States Supreme Court threw out Jack Smith’s first indictment and a federal court found his appointment to be unconstitutional, Jack Smith filed a new indictment against President Trump for alleged efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election—the great irony of these actions is that Smith is now decidedly interfering in the 2024 presidential election. Jack Smith has weaponized the DOJ and has used it to make purely political attacks against President Trump. I am demanding AG Garland and the DOJ hand over all internal communications with Jack Smith regarding his latest indictment of Trump. I request answers to the following questions by October 11.
1. Please describe any communications DOJ officials had with Special Counsel Jack Smith after the Supreme Court of the United States vacated the appellate decision and remanded the presidential immunity case, Trump v. United States.

As Joe Biden heads to the border today for nothing more than a glorified photo op – it’s worth laying out the case of exactly how Biden created the crisis at the border. A thread 🧵
On Biden’s first day in office, January 20, 2021, Biden terminated the national emergency at the southwestern border. He halted construction of the border wall. Same day: Biden reversed a Trump Era executive order. The executive order put restrictions on immigration from countries associated with terrorism. Same day: Biden pauses deportations for 100 days. Same day: Biden reverses yet another Trump policy. This policy told law enforcement to enforce the immigration laws of the United States.
February 2021: Biden stops applying Title 42 expulsions to children at the border. CDC exempts unaccompanied alien children from Title 42 expulsion requirements.
