‘Focus In On That’: James Lankford Tells Elon Musk To Stay In His Lane After Tesla Chief Slams Border Bill
'Go back to doing the two million Teslas currently being recalled'
#BanTheADL — 'If you're a fan of BlazeTV, odds are the ADL would likely label you anti-Semitic'
If you try to look up what ADL stands for on the group's website, you won't find the correct answer, which is the Anti-Defamation League. Instead, this is what you’ll find:
The reality is, however, that fighting antisemitism and other forms of hate is just a guise to mask the organization’s intentions to control and censor, which is why there’s been a widespread increase in people calling for the banning of the ADL.
“Even though the organization claims to just simply stand against antisemitism and against bigotry in practice, in reality, they are nothing more than a bunch of crybullies who use the accusation of antisemitism or bigotry to silence dissent and any criticism of leftism or globalism,” says Lauren Chen.
For example, the ADL has specifically targeted people like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump, labeling them as anti ________ (insert whatever word you fancy.)
Jonathan Greenblatt, the director of the ADL, tweeted this following Tucker’s departure from Fox News:
“It’s about time. For far too long, Tucker Carlson has used his primetime show to spew antisemitic, racist, xenophobic and anti-LGBTQ hate to millions. @ADL has long called for his firing for this and many other offenses, including spreading the Great Replacement Theory.”
Greenblatt also stated that banning Trump from Twitter was “an excellent step” and “a fitting end to a legacy of spewing hate and vitriol.”
And while genuine antisemitism and hatred are wrong, “this isn't actually about antisemitism,” says Lauren. “If you're a fan of BlazeTV, odds are the ADL would likely label you anti-Semitic too.”
Why? Because, in the eyes of the ADL, if you're watching BlazeTV, chances are you too stand against the woke nonsense plaguing the country, making you a terrible, hate-filled person who deserves to be silenced.
Perhaps even more upsetting is the fact that the platform is also incredibly hypocritical. The ADL went after Tucker for discussing demographic changes in the U.S. as a result of immigration, but its website states:
“With historically high birth rates among Palestinians, and a possible influx of Palestinian refugees and their descendants now living around the world, Jews would quickly be a minority. ... It is unrealistic and unacceptable to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory.”
Hmmm. So it’s okay to advocate for borders for Israelis to prevent them from becoming minorities, but it's not okay to advocate for borders for Americans to prevent them from becoming minorities?
However, the tides may be turning for the ADL. It appears that the organization may have made a potentially “fatal misstep” by effectively choosing to “slander and defame X or Twitter under Elon Musk's leadership,” says Lauren.
Ironically, Musk is suing the organization for defamation — the very thing they supposedly stand against — and he's got a darn good case.

Elon takes on interracial crime, infuriates the left
Elon Musk has a history of upsetting the left on Twitter, and he’s not stopping any time soon.
In fact, it seems he’s actually upped the ante with several recent tweets in response to current crime patterns and more specifically what these patterns reflect: race.
Lauren Chen reports that “if you’ve been on social media over the past few days, you’ll have seen that Elon Musk appears to have taken a journey down the rabbit hole that is interracial crime.”
While Musk has responded to several tweets on interracial crime, the one that really got him in trouble with the left was an image that depicts the stats related to interracial crime.
The image showed a man with a camera focusing on the percentage of white-on-black crime in a graph — meant to reflect media outlets and their coverage — while ignoring all other forms of crime.
Elon simply responded “Odd, why would the media misrepresent the real situation to such an extreme degree?”
The issue of interracial crime has dominated headlines recently after Jordan Neely, a homeless black man, was subdued during an erratic outburst, allegedly put in a choke hold by a bystander, and died.
Chen says sarcastically, “It seems like the only crime stories we ever hear of are of white people attacking poor defenseless black people who weren’t doing anything, like Jordan Neely.”
According to the left, Chen says, Neely “was just an innocent Michael Jackson impersonator on the subway” who was “simply killed for being black.”
“No other reason,” she continues, “like being an aggressive, violent, homeless man.”
Chen says the media and leftists in general “are committed to demonizing white people.”
“Congrats to Elon for actually talking about this issue and not backing down where he’s right just because leftist bullies are threatening him,” Chen adds.

The first all-civilian crew of astronauts has docked with the International Space Station
The world's first fully private space crew has docked with the International Space Station.
On Friday morning, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket containing a Dragon capsule launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday morning "without any major hiccups," Engadget reported.
Reportedly the crew's flight to the ISS took around 20 hours and experienced a brief delay in the docking sequence due to a video routing problem.
CBS News reported that the SpaceX rocket carried "a retired NASA astronaut and three wealthy civilians on the first non-government, fully commercial flight to the International Space Station – a trailblazing mission intended to help pave the way to a privately operated space lab."
The crew consisted of Michael Lopez-Algeria, commander and former NASA astronaut, and businessmen Larry Connor, Eytan Stibbe, and Mark Pathy.
The crew is expected to spend eight days on the space station where they will conduct science experiments along with "outreach and commercial activities." The crew is also expected to return scientific samples back to Earth for NASA to study.
The mission was conducted by Axiom Space, a company that is — according to its website — dedicated to "the full realization of low Earth orbit's possibilities."
Axiom Space "has been involved with every ISS mission since the program's inception" and hopes to make "the possibilities of Low Earth Orbit accessible to visionary governments, researchers, manufacturers, and individuals."
The company believes that "microgravity is the most promising environment for innovation and problem-solving since the Internet" and plans on "building the first commercial space station in our solar system starting in 2024."
This launch marked the sixth piloted flight of a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, is the "second fully commercial flight to orbit," a "d the "fi" st all-commercial visit to the International Space Station."
Over the past twenty years, eleven private astronauts have had the privilege to visit the International Space Station under commercial arrangements with Russia'Russia'sagency.
In recent weeks, the Russian government announced that it would no longer collaborate with Western nations on maintaining the International Space Station. Russian officials indicated that they would see to the completion of already ongoing projects and tasks but that the country will withdraw its support of the station so long as Western nations continue to sanction the Russian economy in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Prior to pulling out of the International Space Station, Russian officials threatened to drop the station on the Western world by ceasing to provide it with resources for propulsion.
