Natasha Cohen, 46, is a New York therapist who appears to be stuck in the denial stage of Kübler-Ross. After she was arrested in the latest case of political violence by the left, Cohen blamed Elon Musk for her actions, saying that she is “living in terror every day.” The rationalization is becoming a familiar refrain as the rise in political violence becomes undeniable. On Friday, New York Times Chief White House Correspondent and MSNBC Political Analyst Peter Baker came under fire for admitting that leftist violence is on the rise, but noting that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric “might excite people to take action.”
Cohen was caught on videotape (above) leaving a brick with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a Tesla and dumping trash on the car.
The therapist, who works with children, immediately reverted to one of her clients and blamed others for her actions. This was all Elon’s fault:
“Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi…I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany. I’m truly terrified, because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.”
In other words, she is a victim who felt compelled to terrorize neighbors. She is now facing hate crime charges.
In the meantime, a Florida woman joined the ranks of those attacking Teslas with a novel twist. Yamaris Marrero, 45, of Hallandale Beach, Florida, used a “large wad” of chewing gum to cause nearly $3,000 in damage to the EV’s door handle mechanism, police said, according to a local report. She was also charged with a hate crime.
Baker’s comment seemed to follow a series of rationalizations for leftist violence. On PBS’s “Washington Week,” Baker stated:
“On the physical violence part, and that has also been seen on both sides too, of course. President Trump was the target of two different assassination attempts last year. Just this last week, I think the would-be assassin of Brett Kavanaugh was sentenced, I think, in court, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) a number of years ago. But it does seem, at times, that Trump and his people seem to be more willing to use words like traitor and treasonous that might excite people to take action. And I think that’s the worry, what level of responsibility you have as a president, as a leader of this country, to try to tamp down the kind of passions that arise rather than stoke them.”
Of course, President Joe Biden was notorious for describing Trump and his supporters as enemies of democracy while Democratic leaders have called them “fascists” and “Nazis.” That does not appear relevant to covering the rise in leftist political violence.
Politicians and commentators have sought to excuse or explain the growing violence. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., explained to Joy Reid on MSNBC why Luigi Mangione allegedly murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Warren offered a “warning ” that “you can only push people so far.”
Others like former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz gushed over Mangione as homicidal but hunky: “Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find.”
The point is that the people are being “triggered” by others holding opposing political views. It is a victimology that has been drilled into many on the left. They are merely reacting to “living in terror” after losing a democratic election.
We seem to be moving into a type of frenzied delusion on the left. It is reminiscent of the scene from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where the cult member screams “George isn’t blind! You’re the blind one!”
Turkey’s blog is illustrating in real life what happens when a majority disassociates from the subject at hand and waltzes off into their own world.
I call it “internet brain”. Every five seconds your focus changes, yet you think you are making sense. Usually you are, but on the wrong subject.
At present it is Tesla, DOGO, Musk, and Trump rattling around in internet brains like loose marbles, Yet China is the problem. So because your brain is fubar, we must also forgive the SCOTUS justices from forgetting a few details about the practicality of requiring 35 million illegal alien hearings when in fact we should be outraged.
OT:
Pope John Paul II was an intellectual, with two earned doctorates: one in philosophy the other in theology. He was an important bridge between Vatican II and the post-conciliar period. But few read, less understood, his writings, written in a language beyond the intellect of most Catholics, though rich in exegetical analysis and grounded in philosophy, theology, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. His traumatic painful childhood and how he persevered were inspiring, largely accounting for his hatred for Marxism.
Pope Benedict XVI was another academic but his pontificate was marked by a man not gifted in administrative skills, words he uttered when he compared Pope Francis pontificate to his own. He stepped down as Pope because he did not believe he was the one to handle the many scandals of the Church. He had a brilliant mind though few pursued his writings because they too were complex and challenging, just like the Gospel.
Pope Francis was gifted in administration and management as a former Jesuit Provincial, and was more than willing to use the whip to drive out the money changers and remove clerics and processes that were scandalous. More importantly he walled the talk: associated with the marginalized just like Christ did. My spouse converted to Catholicism because of Pope Francis.
JPII formed me intellectually but Francis pushed me to see Christ in those in the peripheries.
Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.
At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:
“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”
…
According to Archbishop Diego Ravelli, Master of Apostolic Ceremonies, the late Pope Francis had requested that the funeral rites be simplified and focused on expressing the faith of the Church in the Risen Body of Christ. “The renewed rite,” said Archbishop Ravelli, “seeks to emphasise even more that the funeral of the Roman Pontiff is that of a pastor and disciple of Christ and not of a powerful person of this world.”

I read that an AI computer recently passed a Turing Test, that is that in communication with people they were unable to tell that it was not another human they were talking with.
AI is advancing so rapidly I wonder if soon we will be unable to tell whether or not we are speaking with God. A Mt Sinai test.
Young, can we get a link to that? I just want to know if it was voiced. If so, how could people not tell it was faked?
Sam Anon, meant “how could people not tell it was an AI voice?” those grating monotone cadences are all too easy to spot
A bigger question is whether an AI somewhere between human and superhuman has free will.
Not that ‘free will’ is an expression that makes any sense at all.
based on the lefts rationalization those who feel that abortion doctors should be murdered and abortion clinics burnt to the ground should be able to be rationalizes by right wing extremists since they are being triggered by the lefts support of abortion. Big difference between the right who would condemn those actions and the left who supports the violence against consertives and Tesla cars and dealerships and innocent Tesla owners.
Jonathan: Here’s a wrap up of this Easter weekend news:
–A headline from The Wrap today “Pete Hegseth Shared Yemen Attack Plans with Wife, Brother in Second Signal Chat”. Seems Signalgate just won’t go away!
–DJT had another unhinged tirade message today: “Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members, and Wife Beaters, back into our Country… Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing the sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten!”. But DJT ended on a positive note of sorts: “I wish you, with great love, sincerity and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!”. That’s also what Hannibal Lecter said just before he sliced off the top of Ray Liotta’s head! DJT loves Hannibal Lecter!
–Finally, from the Daily Beast today: MAGA Rep. Nancy Mace “ripped into a constituent in the middle of a make-up store”. And Mace even posted a video of the encounter. A male constituent approached Mace and asked when she was going to hold more town hall meetings this year. For some reason this set Mace off. She loudly responded “I do them every year!…Do you want to keep going, keep harassing me?!”. Mace added, thinking the young man was gay: ‘And by the way, I voted for gay marriage–twice”. When the man asked what that had to do with him and the question he was asking Mace responded loudly “It has everything to do with you!…Because you people on the left are crazy, you’re absolutely f—ing crazy. You are and get out of my face, goodbye. F–k you!” That’s how Nancy Mace handles questions from her constituents.
It should be pointed out that in the video the constituent was never in Mace’s face. He was standing about 5 to 8 ft. away. It also should be noted that Mace held her first town hall on 4/8–over the phone with no prior notice. It appears MAGA Republican don’t want to actually “face” their constituents in town hall meetings. Mace is one of those and that might explain here tirade in the make-up store. Mace has a thin skin.
You need help for your severe TDS….. and it’s quite apparent drugs do you no justice, in fact may have caused such.
“Trump-Russia ‘Pee Tape’ Dossier Was Paid for by Hillary Clinton Campaign: Report”

I am beginning to think Congress should strip district court judges of their equity power to issue injunctions and TROs.
It is too much arbitrary authoritarian power to be placed in the hands of an unelected person with a lifetime appointment and who is effectively untouchable.
I might think differently if we had a Supreme Court led by something other than an overcooked noodle; but we don’t.
Some professors have suggested placing the authority to issue injunctions in the hands of a three-judge panel including two district judges from different districts and one appellate judge. Probably obvious judge shopping lawyers should be held in contempt and fined as well. And any judge in DC district or court of appeals should be excluded altogether. They are too close to ‘influencers’.
The current judicial system is dangerously corrupted by radicals.
“I am beginning to think Congress should strip district court judges of their equity power to issue injunctions and TROs.

I agree. However, I would note that if Congress had the resolve to actually take action on your suggestion, they could also imo create a process to remove those judges for cause.
From Your Lips To God’s Ears!
Pete Hegseth had a second Signal chat about the Yemen raids with another group that included his wife, his brother, and his personal lawyer.
The information Mr. Hegseth shared on the second Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen — essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic,”
Was his bartender included in the chat ??
The bartender was also included apparently, along with his mechanic, the guy that treated his house for bugs, the girl at the gas station he flirts with and…
I’d be concerned if he left his barber off the thread. A razor to the throat during a shave could go either way.
I’m beginning to feel like I’m the only person in the country that Pete isn’t including in his Signal chats.
Gosh, I feel left out. How can I get into one of these cool kids Signal chats?
Can’t wait till someone reveals his Happy Hour chat room
Let me see if I understand what you are saying.
Apparently you believe that it is not a problem for Hegseth to share Top Secret war plans with people who have no security clearance or connection with the government, using an unsecure publically available app.
The REAL problem is that we FIND OUT about this because of traitors and saboteurs who leak the information about the existence of these chats.
Am I right???

Hegseth is like a newly appointed captain charged with taking over a ship in mutiny.
The same may be said of the entire administration.
We can expect betrayals and saboteurs.
The only surprise to me is that federal judges have joined the mutineers.
Bill Clinton’s agent, Sandy Berger, stole from the national archives in an attempt to cover up Clinton’s treason and Berger was convicted.
Keep this up and the majority of the citizens will be begging Trump to deport judges.

“Operation Wetback”
“Operation Wetback was an immigration law enforcement initiative created by Joseph Swing, a retired United States Army lieutenant general and head of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The program was implemented in June 1954 by U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell.[1] The operation used tactics to remove Mexican immigrants from the United States.
“Operation Wetback was primarily a response to pressure from a broad coalition of farmers and business interests concerned with the effects of illegal immigration from Mexico.[3] Upon implementation, Operation Wetback gave rise to arrests and deportations by the U.S. Border Patrol.”
– Wikipedia
As many as 2 million Mexicans may have been apprehended and deported.
Trump has quite a way to go, so the anti-Americans are throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, in his way to impede the effort.
Will you ever have the courage to assess what The President is doing as he ignores the courts, destroys the civil service and continues to undermine the very nature of America itself–or is that too much to ask ?
90% of governmental departments and agencies are unconstitutional and entirely without legal basis, not to mention that employees are overpaid and inefficient.
The basis for absurd compensation largesse is “comparable pay” after “work actions,” aka illegal strikes by unconstitutional criminal unions whose sole bargaining points are breach of contract, absence without leave, criminal trespass, threats, intimidation, vandalism, property damage, etc.
It was FDR of all people who said that collective bargaining has no place in government employee service.
Americans are free to operate a business or accept employment.
Worker compensation must be based on merit not criminal acts.
So clueless…you are…and it shows.

Estovir, thank you for sharing. I hope you and your family had a wonderful and blessed Easter!
This holier than thou attitude by you MAGA morons is profoundly hypocritical and sadly pathetic.
No mention of the vast number of instances of Trump supporters vandalizing synagogues, churches and schools.
Turley frames this trivial act of vandalism as “terrorism” and “political violence”, and you immediately rise up to make outlandish accusations and draw ridiculous conclusions about violent leftists.
Turley has you well trained, just like Pavlov’s dogs.
He just has to ring the bell, and without thinking, you respond with your ridiculous, unfounded, and absurd diatribes.
Your absurdly exaggerated claims grow ever more absurd as you pile on agreeing with each other, and trying to outdo each other with increasingly insane comments.
You are completely disconnected from reality.
Try to get a grip !!!!!

Thank you for confirming my point.
Apparently vandalism committed by MAGA is perfectly fine.
Vandalism by others against MAGA is “terrorism” and “political violence”.

I tried and tried to warn you fascist Lefties that chronic TDS and nonyielding masturbation would cause Biden-like mental deficiencies, emotional and intellectual infarcts. Well, you have clearly ignored the warnings and have succumbed totally to the disease.
Ring, ring, ring.
You obviously heard the bell !!!
How teslas have you vandalized commie?
How many synagogues have vandalized, Nazi?
Funny, it seems to be the woke leftists who are currently the most numerous and virulent anti-semites…
When it’s the left, you never know just how much damage they will do.
Down to name calling because the heat in the kitchen is too much…what boorish behavior.
Lincoln was a great president; he suppressed the rebellion.
“Lincoln was a great president; he trashed the Constitution so that the ideals of the Republic could be sacrificed to its temporary territorial integrity.” FIFY
Lincoln was definitively the worst president in American history.
He threw the baby out with the bathwater; he threw the Constitution out with reprehensible slavery.
Secession was constitutional; the South would have failed and reunited.
Assimilation and the mixing of oil and water is impossible; the necessary political emulsifiers are and have been far to destructive.
The Naturalization Acts of the Founders must have been enforced, and the long-suffering slaves compassionately repatriated for their own benefit, as is the desire of all abductees.
The Israelites were out of Egypt before the ink was dry on their release papers, but then they had the capacity, acumen, and gumption sufficient to the task.
America must have been allowed to flourish with Americans, as was the intent of the Founders.
More of Turley MAGA media BS: one person trashes a Tesla and Turley tries to metastasize that to “The Left”, which he doesn’t define. Saturday’s anti-Trump rallies attracted at least 3 million people all over the US, in blue and red states–and there was NO violence–so if these people are “The Left”, Turley, you are off your rocker. None of those protesters were promoting violence or property damage. We’re not buying what you’re paid to sell, Turley.
Damaging personal property IS “violent and destructive” act, that is happening DAILY, in contrast to your willful ignorance of it. These acts are overwhelmingly carried out by raging, angry, violent and destructive leftists, despite your efforts to claim otherwise. Regardless of the video footage, eyewitness accounts, and LEO reports, you simply refuse to admit to facts and reality. Please stay away from matches and sharp objects. You truly need psychological assistance.
Yet gigi. Americans still love Prez Trump in huge numbers.
America has not only accepted the burning and looting by communities identified simply as being the victim, America has escalated to the acceptance of violence by mindless souls lead and taunted by the MSM, politicos and acclaimed artists purporting the evils of the world.
If I were young I’d get a trade perhaps at a JC. I’d pay attention and be good at what I’d chosen. Then I’d get a passport and work visa and beat feet.
I’d like to think the US will resurrect but am not delusional. It’s a dark world and tragic but with the violence and atrocities of murder I’d just leave.
Happy Easter
