Thursday on CNN International’s “Connect the World,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who claims the ability to end Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General with a “no” vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Blanche must condemn those involved in the January 6 to get his vote. [More]

It’s always the enemy inside the gates who can do the most damage, and it’s been clear for a long time that he intends to maximize that until his term expires.

Think of It as a Temporary Redeployment

Are Democrats Backing Off Gun Control as National Priority? [More]

What a political whore.

6 people hurt in stabbings at Penn Station, authorities say [More]

And, of course, “Under New York Penal Law § 265.01-e, public transportation infrastructure — including train stations, subway stations, rail cars, buses, and bus terminals — is classified as a sensitive location. The state’s official concealed carry FAQ confirms that licensed carry holders generally may not bring a firearm into a sensitive location…”
