Elon Musk’s position in the Trump administration and friendship with the president himself have led to liberals across the country suddenly turning their backs on the climate change cause and not only boycotting Tesla but doxxing the owners of the electric vehicles. Kamala Harris’ former running mate, Tim Walz, decided it would be a good look to cheer on what is happening to Tesla. “On the iPhone they’ve got that little stock app; I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day. $225 and dropping,” Walz said to cheers. “And if you own one, we’re not blaming you; you can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, you know, I’m just telling you,” he added. Walz also came under fire recently for claiming he “could kick most of their asses,” in reference to Trump supporters. “First of all, you guys are the ones who made everybody buy a Tesla,” Dave Landau of “Normal World” comments, noting that Walz isn’t the only one cheering Tesla's destruction. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also joked about the destruction of property to a giggling liberal audience. “Jimmy Kimmel washed off the blackface long enough to co-sign the Tesla vandalism all for the horrible right-wing crime of employing Americans to make environmentally friendly electric cars,” Landau says. “Elon is looking into the efficiency of the government,” 1/4 Black Garrett chimes in. “Like you’re going so far to burn and destroy other civilians' cars.” “Yeah, these aren’t billionaires. These are people with jobs who are trying to save money on gas,” Landau adds.

Police said a husband, wife, and their three children were asleep when an intruder broke a window and entered their home in Spanish Fort, Alabama, around 12:15 a.m. Saturday.“The homeowner was awakened by his wife, who believed she heard somebody make an entry into the house,” Spanish Fort Police Chief John Barber told WALA-TV. Spanish Fort is about 15 minutes southeast of Mobile.'The homeowner took what we believe was a reasonable step to protect himself and his family.'Barber added to the station that the homeowner fired one shot and hit the intruder in the upper abdomen, after which the homeowner immediately called 911.Turns out the intruder is a 17-year-old male, WALA added.“Our officers were able to apply chest seals to the individual that was suffering from the gunshot wound,” the chief explained to the station. “It was a substantial wound. He was airlifted to University Hospital. At this time, we believe he is critical, but stable.”Barber told WALA the teen appeared to have broken in through one of the front windows of the home on Caisson Trace. He added to the station that the teen and homeowner don't know each other and that the incident appears to be random.“Based on the initial investigation, we believe the teen was under the influence of some substance — we’re not sure exactly what ... but we do believe he was under the influence of something,” Barber told WALA. “Earlier that night, he was at a residence on that street with some of his friends. He left that residence and made entry into this other one. We were not able to talk to him and find out what he was thinking or not thinking because he was, again, wounded, so that’s going to be a part of the investigation.”The chief called the situation a "tragedy" for all parties, the station said.“A husband and a wife, three kids, who were asleep in their house,” Barber told WALA. “Your house is your castle. The wife awakens to shattering glass — what a scary situation it is. So the husband [is] protecting his home — doing what he did."The station said Alabama's Stand Your Ground Law allows individuals to use force — including deadly force — if they believe they are in imminent danger and that deadly physical force is being used or is about to be used against them in a place they're legally allowed to be.“Inside your residence, you don’t have to retreat,” Barber told WALA. “The homeowner took what we believe was a reasonable step to protect himself and his family. Eventually this will be presented to a grand jury to make sure this was the case, but that’s the initial investigation.”The chief noted to the station that investigators are working to determine the teen’s charges and that "we hope that he pulls through.”You can view a video report here about the incident.Like Blaze News?

UFC commentator and comedian Joe Rogan said Canada remains a personal no-go zone due to its policies.Rogan was hosting an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" with professional martial artists Brendan Schaub, Eddie Bravo, and Gordon Ryan when he discussed his lack of desire to visit the northerly neighbor.The foursome watched a UFC event live on the podcast and discussed U.S. relations with governments like France and Canada. The group noted Canada's free fall into far-left policies that culminated during the trucker convoy."I think it's stupid that we hate Canada, too, I don't get that," Rogan remarked."Canada needs to get their s**t together, though," Schaub replied.Rogan responded that while he loves the Canadian people for their kindness and politeness, "They have terrible government."He added that despite former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, the new Prime Minister Mark Carney is "more of the same."'I don't go to Canada anymore.'Near the end of the show, Rogan asked when and where UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad will be defending his title. When Rogan's producer revealed the answer to be UFC 315 in May at the Bell Centre in Montreal, the comedian immediately said he would not be attending."Wow ... I won't be there. I don't go to Canada anymore," Rogan revealed. "I don't.""Nor should you," Schaub replied.Fans typically rejoice when Rogan is an announcer for UFC events as the occasions are few and far between. Having been with the company for over 25 years, the 57-year-old is quite selective about his appearances on broadcasts. Rogan only lends his talents for UFC pay-per-view events, and only in the continental United States, unless the fights are of particular interest to him. He has ventured to Australia a few times, for example."Discipline," Rogan said about his decision to not go to Canada. "I'd rather go to Russia," he laughed.After saying Canada would "never" be absorbed by the United States, the podcaster revealed he had a conversation with President Trump about the great white north. "I had a conversation with Trump about it. He goes, 'I started calling him Governor Trudeau just for fun, and a lot of people were saying it's a good idea, like maybe it is a good idea, a lot of people say it,'" Rogan joked. Rogan was last heard on a UFC broadcast during UFC 313 in early March at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and, if he remains true to his usual schedule, he would likely return June 7 for UFC 316 in Newark, New Jersey, at the Prudential Center.Like Blaze News?

Tennessee Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that, if passed, would hold nonprofit organizations that house illegal aliens liable for crimes committed by their residents.House Bill 811, or Senate Bill 227, was introduced earlier this year and co-sponsored by state Rep. Rusty Grills (R) and Sen. Brent Taylor (R).'Deter criminal activity.'It seeks to amend the Tennessee Code regarding the liability of charitable organizations.Currently, TN Code § 29-34-213 reads, "A charitable organization providing services to the community is not liable for a loss, damages, injury, or death that results from providing services, unless the charitable organization's conduct in providing services constitutes gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct."If HB 118 passes, the code's language will be amended to hold organizations responsible for criminal activity committed by illegal aliens housed in its shelters.Referring to the above-mentioned section, the proposed legislation states, "Notwithstanding subsection (b), a charitable organization that provides housing to a person who the charitable organization knows is unlawfully present in the United States may be held liable for a loss, damages, injury, or death resulting from a criminal offense committed by the person who is unlawfully present in the United States while the person is receiving housing services from the charitable organization if the charitable organization's conduct in providing housing constitutes negligence, gross negligence, or willful and wanton misconduct."Grills told WZTV that the bill does not intend to incriminate organizations providing shelter accommodations. "It's to deter criminal activity," he stated.The news outlet reported that Grills and Taylor plan to add amendments to proposed legislation to provide additional clarity. Charitable organizations have pushed back on the bill.Reverend Enoch Fuzz, a senior pastor with the Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church in Nashville, told WZTV, "You can't hold anybody liable for the actions of somebody except for the person themselves."When pressed about whether he vows to shelter illegal aliens, Fuzz responded, "I pledge to help people, and I've lived my whole life anchored in wanting to help people.""What if they go on to commit a crime?" WZTV asked Fuzz.He replied, "Well, what if anybody goes out to commit a crime?"Sam Siple with the Nashville Rescue Mission told the news outlet, "Our intent here is not to be a sanctuary city, but we are a sanctuary for folks who are looking to get off the dangers of the streets and get some help, get some hope, get some food, get some shelter. So our goal is again to help and provide human services. It's not to enforce immigration."A separate proposed bill, SB 392, would make it a crime to harbor, hide, or smuggle an illegal alien. Last week, the GOP-backed legislation passed the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee in a 7-2 vote.Rep. Chris Todd (R) explained, "This creates a Class E felony offense for human smuggling, creates a Class A felony offense for aggravated human smuggling, and expands the offense of human trafficking to include promoting the prostitution of a minor. These are the kinds of things we're talking about here.""I don't know any [nongovernmental organization] that is doing the right thing that would fall under that," he added.Meanwhile, on the national level, President Donald Trump's administration has moved to end federally funded housing for illegal immigrants.On Monday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner announced that their agencies would coordinate to stop "wasteful misappropriations" of taxpayer funds toward subsidized housing for illegal aliens. "American tax dollars should be used for the benefit of American citizens, especially when it comes to an issue as pressing as our nation's housing crisis," Turner stated. "This new agreement will leverage resources including technology and personnel to ensure American people are the only priority when it comes to public housing."They pledged to put American citizens first, and Noem declared that the "gravy train" for illegal aliens "is over.""The Biden administration prioritized illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens taxpayer-funding housing at the expense of Americans. Not any more," Noem said. "The entire government will work together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally."Like Blaze News?

An Obama judge doubled down Monday on his ruling preventing President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport suspected terrorists who have stolen into the homeland. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg — who critics claim is not just overstepping his bounds but "usurping the power of the president" — stated in his 37-page opinion that suspected members of the Tren de Aragua terrorist organization have a right to individualized hearings before they may be deported. Later Monday, another Obama judge — this time on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals — heard the government's arguments for lifting Boasberg's order. U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett echoed her fellow traveler, claiming that the suspected terrorists dwelling in the country illegally who had been targeted for deportation were not given the due process supposedly owed them and that "Nazis got better treatment." Background Weeks after the State Department designated Tren de Aragua a terrorist group, President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, proclaiming that all Venezuelan citizens "14 years of age or older who are members of TDA, are within the United States, and are not actually naturalized or lawful permanent residents of the United States are liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as Alien Enemies." 'The judge's order was patently unlawful.' A pair of leftist activist groups immediately filed a lawsuit on behalf of several illegal aliens in an effort to prevent Trump from using the law, which was passed by the generation that drafted the Constitution. Boasberg granted the leftist groups their temporary restraining order, thereby preventing the Trump administration from sending more suspected terrorists packing — besides, of course, the hundreds of illegal aliens the administration loaded into planes destined for El Salvador and Honduras hours earlier. Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, stated, "The judge's order was patently unlawful. Beyond unlawful, it was an outrageous assault on the Constitution, an outrageous assault on the sovereignty of the nation and on democracy itself." Miller later told CNN that Trump's authority to repel an alien invasion of the United States with the aid of the Alien Enemies Act "is not something that a district court judge has any authority whatsoever to interfere with, to enjoin, to restrict, or to restrain in any way." "There's not one clause in that law that makes it subject to judicial review, let alone district court review," added Miller. Trump noted on Truth Social, "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!" Tren de Aragua's judicial safety net Boasberg suggested that the language of the Alien Enemies Act — particularly the terms "nation," "government," "invasion," and "predatory incursion" — was open for his interpretation and insinuated that a court could potentially be "empowered to decide if the characteristics of Tren de Aragua qualify it as a 'nation' or 'government,' or if its conducts constitutes a 'perpetrated, attempted, or threatened' 'invasion' or 'predatory incursion.'"'Before they may be deported, they are entitled to individualized hearings.' Despite his apparent interest in tailoring the definitions of key terms to suit leftist activists and illegal aliens, Boasberg indicated that such a provocative course of action was likely unnecessary as the plaintiffs "have established a likelihood of succeeding on a more discrete claim that justifies retaining the TROs." The Obama judge claimed that even if Trump's invocation of the act is valid, suspected enemies in the country illegally are still to be afforded the chance to contest their deportation or voluntarily self-deport. "Before they may be deported, they are entitled to individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all," wrote Boasberg. "The awesome power granted by the Act may be brought to bear only on those who are, in fact, 'alien enemies.' And the Supreme Court and this Circuit have long maintained that federal courts are equipped to adjudicate that question when individuals threatened with detention and removal challenge their designation as such." The judge stressed that the illegal aliens targeted by the act "must be given the opportunity, if they so choose, to contest that they are 'Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older who are members of [Tren de Aragua], are within the United States, and are not actually naturalized or lawful permanent residents of the United States." Different Obama judge, same story The Trump administration has appealed Boasberg's hearing and argued its case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Monday. Based on their reception by an Obama-appointed judge on the panel, the Alien Enemies Act may not ultimately be a reliable arrow in the administration's quiver when it comes to dispatching with illegally imported terrorists. Judge Patricia Millett complained that the hundreds of criminal noncitizens whom Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed were flown to El Salvador and Honduras on March 15 were not given notice or provided an opportunity to contest their ouster, reported ABC News. "There's no regulations, and nothing was adopted by the agency officials that were administering this. They [sic] people weren't given notice," said Millett. "They weren't told where they were going. They were given those people on those planes on that Saturday and had no opportunity to file habeas or any type of action to challenge the removal under the AEA."'We cannot allow rogue, activist judges to conduct our foreign policy.' According to Millett, "Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemy Act," referencing previously identified enemy aliens' ability to challenge their removal from the country during World War II. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign reportedly suggested Millett was wrong about her Nazi comparison, noting that some of the suspected terrorists were able to file habeas petitions. Whereas Boasberg repeatedly cast doubt on the validity of the law, Millett was at least willing to acknowledge the law was constitutional. Millett's responses were tempered by another judge on the panel, Trump-appointee Justin Walker, who appeared wise to the plaintiffs' game. Walker reportedly questioned why the activist groups decided to bring their case in Washington, D.C., rather than in Texas, where the deportees were being detained. Of limits and ousters Republican Rep. Brandon Gill (Texas), among those frustrated with judicial overreach and Democrat-appointed judges' apparent efforts to thwart the will of the democratically elected president, has filed a resolution to impeach Boasberg — a largely symbolic gesture granted it will reportedly require 14 Senate Democrats to convict. Gill, who deemed Boasberg's latest ruling a "judicial insurrection," told Fox Business, "I hope that the Supreme Court steps in and expedites this appeals process, but absent that, I think Congress needs to jump in here. We cannot allow rogue, activist judges to conduct our foreign policy or to usurp the president's authority." A recent poll by Rasmussen Reports found that voters favor impeaching Boasberg by a 2-to-1 margin — something Trump has expressed support for — and that voters majoritively support Trump's deportation of Venezuelan terrorists. Critics of judicial overreach might ultimately have better luck reining in activist judges with legislation. On Monday, California Rep. Darrell Issa (R) introduced a bill titled the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would prohibit U.S. district courts from issuing any order providing for injunctive relief "except in the case of such an order that is applicable only to limit the actions of a party to the case before such district court with respect to the party seeking injunctive relief from such district court." House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan indicated that his committee will also hold hearings on efforts by Democrat-appointed judges to undermine the Trump administration. Like Blaze News?

Mark Warner's Own Leaked Russian Collusion Texts Come Back to BITE Him As He Calls for Hegseth to Resign

Lunatics Unhinged: Screaming Protestors Interrupt the Nation's Business

DeepSeek stormed the AI landscape earlier this year, unleashing DeepSeek AI models (V1 and R1) onto the world that were on par with ChatGPT offerings from OpenAI, including the most advanced o1 reasoning model. The news that China achieved parity with the best AI models from the US despite bans on high-end AI hardware tanked the stock market. DeepSeek developed its AI models without access to the latest hardware, which it's banned from purchasing. Instead, the company resorted to software innovations that helped it reduce costs, as well has using some smuggled processors. DeepSeek is also believed to have distilled ChatGPT versions to train its DeepSeek models, not that it really matters in a world where the likes of OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others have been scraping the web to train their AI on all sorts of data, ignoring copyrights concerns in the process. The bad news didn't stop there. DeepSeek released its models as open-source, which meant anybody could download and run them locally without worrying about paying DeepSeek for access, or about the privacy and data security implications of using software from China. Fast-forward to late March, and DeepSeek has quietly launched DeepSeek V3, its next-gen chatbot that might be used to train the DeepSeek R2 reasoning model that should be released in the coming months. However, DeepSeek didn't make a big deal about the DeepSeek V3 release (yet). As a result, it might not be easy to determine whether you can access it. Continue reading... The post How to get DeepSeek V3, which was just quietly released appeared first on BGR.
