=Tesla Takedown Protests a Bust in Texas 2nd Largest City

Randy Clark29 Mar 2025

SAN ANTONIO, Texas —Two anti-Tesla protests were held in San Antonio as part of what organizers called a “Global Day of Action.” The plan called for demonstrations at 200 Tesla dealershipsworldwide on Saturday. Despite being the second largest city in the Lone Star State with a population of nearly 1.5 million residents, less than a dozen protesters showed up at each of the two scheduled Tesla protests in the Alamo City.

 

Breitbart Texas observed each anti-Elon Musk demonstration, which began before noon at one dealership closer to the heart of the city and another held two hours later at a Tesla dealership several miles away.Neither protest garnered more than a dozen attendees who waved signs critical of Tesla, CEO Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump.

 

Many of the signs carried contained Nazi symbols, including the swastika, which is a symbol carved into Tesla autos during recent acts of vandalism against Tesla owners. The symbol has also been painted at several Tesla dealerships across the country.

 

Although the organizers of the rally indicate they do not promote the ongoing vandalism against the electronic vehicle automaker or vehicle owners, the increase in violent acts against both has drawn the ire of the Trump administration.

 

Just one week ago, Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi likened the acts of violence that have occurred at Tesla facilities — including the placement of incendiary devices at a dealership in Austin and acts of arson at other Tesla facilities — as being akin to acts of terrorism. In a statement addressing the acts against the automaker, Bondi promised to impose severe criminal consequences on those involved, saying, “The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism.”

 

The protests are not loosely organized activities that occur organically. The protests appear to be sponsored and supported by several well-organized activist groups, including “Troublemakers,” a Seattle, Washington-based liberal action organization, and the “Disruption Project.” The anti-Tesla protests appear to be coordinated, scheduled, and posted on several online platforms, including the Action Network. The postings include instructions to protesters, offer geophysical data and mapping, and offer to assist demonstrators in locating protests across the country.

 

Many, including the automaker’s CEO Elon Musk, believe the funding necessary to hold the protests comes from several organizations funded by ActBlue. a non-profit political action committee and fundraising platform associated with the Democratic Party. In an early March posting on Musk’s X platform, the CEO wrote, “An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise and Resist, Indivisible Project, and Democratic Socialists of America. ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.”

 

The lack of significant attendance at the two protests in San Antonio, less than 100 miles from the automaker’s headquarters in Austin, is a sign for some that the movement is losing steam. Breitbart Texas spoke to several customers at the dealership on the north side of San Antonio who seemedunphased by the poorly attended protest.

 

Bryan, a customer who did not want his last name revealed, saidmost residents of the Alamo city have better things to do than wave signs in the Texas heat.

 

“Most of these people here represent the liberal minority. If you look, many are old enough to have been around before cars were invented.Their boycott of Tesla is meaningless and has no impact on whether I buy one today or not,” he emphasized. One customer left the lot to address the protesters, accusing them of not understanding the issues at hand.

 

The female customer shouted, “Musk is cutting waste, that’s all. Why are you here!”

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so

President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

 

March 30, 2025, 12:10 PM EDT

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

 

“A lot of people want me to do it,”Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies.

 

But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

 

“I’m focused on the current,” Trump added, in some of his most extensive comments to date about serving a third term.

 

When asked whether he wanted another term, the president responded,“I like working.” “I’m not joking,” Trump said, when asked to clarify. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

 

When asked whether he has been presented with plans to allow him to seek a third term, Trump said,“There are methods which you could do it.”

 

NBC News asked about a possiblescenario in which Vice President JD Vance would run for officeand then pass the role to Trump.

 

Trump responded that “that’s one” method.

 

“But there are others too,”Trump added.Asked to share another method, Trump simply responded“no.”KEK

 

Amending the Constitution to abolish the two-term limit would be exceedingly difficult, requiring either a two-thirds vote of Congress or two-thirds of the states agreeing to call a constitutional convention to propose changes. Either route would then require ratification from three-quarters of the states.

 

The president pointed to his poll numbers, saying that “a lot of people would like me to” hold office for a third term. Trump has previously commented on running for a third term in office, though Republicans have seen these comments as jokes or the president trolling his critics.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., crafted a resolution calling for the extension of presidential term limits, which would allow Trump to seek another term in office.Meanwhile, Trump ally Steve Bannon said in an interview on News Nation that he believes Trump will “run and win again in 2028.”

 

Bannon said in the same interview that he thought “we’ll have a couple of alternatives” in determining how Trump could seek a third term despite the two-term maximum for holding the presidency.

 

The White House has amplified Trump’s comments likening himself to royalty, posting a picture of a fake magazine cover depicting the president with a crown after the administration shot down congestion pricing in New York City. The White House’s post to X quoted Trump’s previous comments on Truth Social: “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

 

(Kek he’s definitely given NBC something to worry about for 3-3/4 years. They have their best researchers on it night and day!)

Headquarters of New Mexico Republican Party Targeted in ‘Deliberate Act of Arson’

Elizabeth Weibel30 Mar 2025

 

The headquarters for the Republican Party in New Mexico was targeted Sunday in what is being called “a deliberate act of arson,” leaving the entryway to the building destroyed.

 

In a post on X, the Republican Party of New Mexico revealed the damage to the state’s GOP headquarters in Albuquerque also included the words “ICE=KKK” spray painted on a wall of the building. The attack was described as being “fueled by hatred and intolerance.”

 

“Early this morning, the entryway of the Republican Party of New Mexico’s headquarters in Albuquerque was destroyed in a deliberate act of arson which also included spray painting the words ‘ICE=KK,'” the post read. “This horrific attack, fueled by hatred and intolerance, is a direct assault on our values, freedoms, and our right to political expression.”

 

Amy Barela, the chairwoman of the Republican Party in New Mexico issued a statement expressing relief that no one was harmed.

 

“We are deeply relieved that no one was harmed in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack,” Barela said.“Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable, and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated.”

 

Barela continued:

 

We are working closely with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), local law enforcement, and federal investigators. We are committed to providing every piece of evidence necessary to bring those responsible to justice and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

 

Daniel Garcia, a spokesperson for the Democratic Party of New Mexico issued a statementthat theparty hopes “whoever is responsible is found and held accountable,” according to the Albuquerque Journal.

 

“We firmly maintain that this sort of act has absolutely no place in our democracy, and that peaceful discourse and organization are the only ways to approach political difference in our country,” said Garcia.

 

Officials from Albuquerque Fire Rescue (AFR) and Bernalillo County Fire Rescue “responded to a call of a structure fire” a little before 6:00 a.m. and the fire was reportedly “brought under control within five minutes,” according to the outlet.

 

Barela vowed that the Republican Party in the state would “emerge from this strong, more united, and more determined to fight for the people” in the state.

 

“We will not allow New Mexico’s broken criminal justice system to dilute the seriousness of this attack,” Barela said. “The Republican Party of New Mexico will not be silenced. We will emerge from this stronger, more united, and more determined to fight for the people of New Mexico and the future of our country.Let us not forget: it was the Democrat Party that once supported the formation of the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws, and defended slavery.”

CBS Poll: Signal-Gate Fails as Trump Maintains 50 Percent Approval Rating

Olivia Rondeau30 Mar 2025

 

Media attacks on the Trump administration due to the Atlantic‘s leak of Signal messages do “not seem tied to evaluations of Mr. Trump overall,” according to a CBS News poll that found the president’s approval rating to be 50 percent.

 

The poll, released Sunday morning, surveyed more than 2,600 Americans from across the country on March 27 and 28:

 

While the vast majority of respondents said last week’s Signal incident — in which National Security Adviser Mike Waltz accidentally added the Atlanticeditor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, into an encrypted group chat where plans to attack the Houthis were discussed — was “serious,” President Donald Trump’s job approval has not suffered.

 

On the economy, Americans have voiced mixed views.

 

While 31 percent of respondents reported that the Trump administration is focusing on lowering consumer prices the “right amount,” 64 percent said it is “not enough.”On tariffs, 38 percent said that the administration has enacted the “right amount,” while 55 percent said it has done “too much.”

 

Only five percent of respondents said they wanted more tariffs, the poll found.

 

People still have not stopped blaming former President Joe Biden’s economic policies for today’s inflation, however, with 38 percent of respondents saying he is “more responsible” for it.

 

A lesser chunk of 34 percent said Trump is “more responsible” for today’s inflation rate, while 19 percent said it is “both equally,” and nine percent said “neither.”

 

Overall, 48 percent of respondents said they approved of Trump’s current handling of the economy.

 

Even greater than Trump’s overall rating is his approval on how he is handling immigration, with 53 percent voicing approval. On his plan to deport illegal migrants, 58 percent voiced approval.

 

Thoughts on Trump’s cuts to federal agency staff are split down the middle, with half the respondents saying they approve of the efforts taken by the administration, including the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to shrink departments.

Trump threatens Zelensky with ‘big problems’

The US president has warned Kiev against “backing out” of the rare earth deal with Washington

 

US President Donald Trump has warned Vladimir Zelensky to think twice before rejecting the latest version of Washington’s proposed minerals deal– already far harsher than an earlier draft derailed by the Ukrainian leader’s outburst at the White House.

 

Trump has repeatedly demanded that Kiev reimburse what he claims are hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid through Ukraine’s mineral wealth, originally focusing on “rare earths.” A previous version of the deal was supposed to be signed in early March but was abruptly withdrawn after Zelensky clashed publicly with Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance during an Oval Office meeting.

 

After Trump temporarily froze all military aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev, Zelensky has signaled willingness to return to negotiations, while still insisting that Kiev does not “owe”Washington anything.

 

On Friday, Zelensky confirmed that Ukraine had received a new draft proposal, but claimed“there are a lot of things that had not been discussed before. And there are also some things that the parties had previously rejected.”

 

In response, Trump accused Zelensky of trying to renege on the proposed agreement in his remarks to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, as reported by Reuters.

 

Zelensky, by the way… I see he is trying to back out of the rare earth deal, and if he does that, he’s got some problems – big, big problems.

 

“We made a deal on rare earths. And now he is saying: ‘Well, you know, I wanna renegotiate’… If he is looking to negotiate the deal, he’s got big problems,” the US president added.

 

Trump also reiterated that Ukraine should abandon its aspirations to join NATO. “He wants to be a member of NATO,but he’s never going to be a member of NATO,” Trump said, adding that even Zelensky “understands that.”

 

According to Reuters, the latest version of the minerals deal is significantly harsher than earlier iterations.Under the proposed terms, the US would recoup all aid provided to Ukrainesince the 2022 escalation of its conflict with Russia,and would impose a 4% annual interest rateon the total before Kiev could access any of the profits from the joint extraction fund.

 

The US has allocated more than $123 billion in military and financial assistance to Ukraine since 2022, according to data from Germany’s Kiel Institute. Trump, however, claims the true cost to Washington has exceeded $300 billion.

EU and USAID running political ‘experiments’ in Moldova – opposition MP

 

The country’s pro-Western government has extended the arrest of the Moldovan autonomous region’s leader by 20 days

 

Moldovan opposition MP Marina Tauber has criticized the EU for abandoning the principles of democracy and the rule of law by ignoring the crackdown on Governor Evgenia Gutsul, who leads the autonomous region of Gagauzia.

 

A vocal opponent of the country’s pro-Western leadership, Gutsul was detained on Tuesday evening at Chisinau Airport. Prosecutors allege financial irregularities during her 2023 campaign and claim she is involved in a Russian-backed operation to derail Moldova’s EU aspirations. Gutsul has denied any wrongdoing, accusing PresidentMaia Sandu’s administration of using lawfare to erode Gagauzia’s autonomy.

 

In an interview with RT on Saturday, Tauber – a former deputy leader of the now-banned SOR party – condemned Gutsul’s arrest as politically motivated, saying:“This decision will remain in the history of our country – but only from the negative point of view.”

 

The lawmaker accused theSandu government of disregarding national interests and acting under foreign influence, pointing to Brussels andWashington’s primary funding channel for political projects abroad, USAID.

 

“They are taking the decisions for us.What was done within the USAID organization and the other funds from the European Union – they are not for the reforms. They are paying for the decision that the European Union wants to see in Moldova,” Tauber told RT, expressing skepticism that Brussels will intervene, even given Moldova’s status as an EU candidate.

 

Democracy, the rule of law, and all the values that the European Union was promoting… We cannot even talk about democracy or the rule of law in our country. I don’t know what they are doing – maybe some experiments. They are spending a lot of money just to rule.

 

Located in southern Moldova, Gagauzia is home to a Turkic-speaking Orthodox Christian minority and enjoys broad self-rule under national law. Sandu has disputed Gutsul’s legitimacy and denounced her party, the SOR, as a “criminal organization.” In 2023, a court in Chisinau declared the party “unconstitutional,” despite its six seats in parliament.

 

Earlier this week, Gutsul appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to help defend Gagauzia’s autonomy, saying the region looks “with hope and faith to Russia.”

 

The SOR party has called the case against Gutsul politically motivated.

 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov condemned the arrest, stating that Chisinaushows “no regard for democratic principles or political pluralism” and is openly working to “suppress political opponents.”

Planned Parenthood braces for Supreme Court fight over Medicaid funding

March 30, 2025 8:00 am

Planned Parenthood is facing a landmark Supreme Court hearing this week thatcould fundamentally shift the financial future of the controversial abortion and reproductive health provider.

 

OnApril 2, the Supreme Court will hear Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a pivotal case that could determine whether states can prohibit all state Medicaid fundsfrom going toward Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers — even to cover non-abortion services such as cancer screenings and contraception.

 

The case stems from a 2018 executive order by South Carolina RepublicanGov. Henry McMaster, who directed the state health department to deem abortion providers unqualified for Medicaid reimbursements for family planning services.

 

“As a pro-life state, South Carolina taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize the abortion industry,” McMaster said in a recent statement supporting the case. “I am grateful for the support of members of the South Carolina delegation and the many other members of Congress who recognize the importance of this case and are standing with South Carolina as we defend our values.”

Former Gov. Scott Walker behind push to get Trump, Musk involved in WI Supreme Court race

Barnini ChakrabortyMarch 29, 2025 2:41

 

EXCLUSIVE — OCONOMOWOC, Wisconsin — How did a state court race, that in any other circumstance would be ignored by the White House, end up on President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s radar?

 

Turns out, it was the brainchild of two men: former Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Keith Gilkes. The latter is the longtime head of Walker’s political operation who also oversaw Musk’s efforts in Wisconsin last year, ultimately helping deliver a win for the president over former Vice President Kamala Harris.

 

Walker and Gilkes began strategizing last fall how to get then-candidate Trump to focus on the contest, and by extension, how to get enough money flowing into the race to make it competitive.

 

Before any pitches were made, the duo had to wait and see how well Trump performed in the brutal battleground state, where both sides fought hard for every vote. Trump ended up winning Wisconsin by about 30,000 votes.

 

It was then that Walker, Wisconsin’s 45th governor, and Gilkes, a respected Republican political strategist, kicked their plan into high gear.
