Kingmaker?

Could evangelical leader’s endorsement upend Trump’s massive lead before Iowa’s caucus? [More]

Well, let’s see

“Vander Plaats ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Iowa in 2002, 2006, and 2010. He was the party’s nominee for lieutenant governor in 2006, losing to Democrat Patty Judge.”

And his organization doesn’t think the right to keep and bear arms and immigration are important enough to feature as “Policy Issues.”

How they believe leaving core constituents out will help advance the issues they do care about is left unsaid. Which suits the Democrats just fine.

Looks like Faux News and the Vichycons are doing their best to listen to losers and keep the Stupid Party stupid.

Why?

Idiot du Jour

We should levy an additional tax on firearms and ammunition to help treat victims, including people who must live with the horror of gun violence. Maybe then gun manufacturers and their supporters would think twice about marketing their wares to unstable, angry customers. [More]

Flesh that out with details for us Dorothy, so everyone can see how clueless you really are.

It looks from “Comments” like nobody’s buying her line of sh!+ either, which, considering where this appeared, is a real positive sign that average Americans are seeing through the absurdity of all the stupid infringements.

Just a subjective design comment here: If I were doing it, I’d replace ✅ with ☠️ under “Permit to Purchase” and “State Background Check.”

And the Crowd Went Wild

Guy gives new meaning to “Reading Rainbow”…

I guess if you smear them as book-burning Nazis, violence against women is woke.

Funny, the reading that is withheld from children.

Point of Origin

Illinois Assault Weapons Ban Faces New Challenge… The petition argues that Justices Elizabeth Rochford and Mary Kay O’Brien participated in the case despite receiving campaign contributions from those who support the ban. [More]

Now I want you to remember who did the original work that made this possible:

[T]he research and publicity this article has caused has led to a petition with the US Supreme Court on Caperton V Massey grounds, which was first brought up in this piece.

Take it from someone who knows what it’s like to be “bigfooted” out of a story by the media and latecomers.

I’ll probably put something together over the weekend to give this wider exposure. In the meantime, if you see any YouTube gun influencers who don’t give credit to Mom-At-Arms, notify viewers in their video comments.

None Dare Call It Treason

Experts raise alarm after Biden strikes agreement with China to shut down fossil fuels [More]

Make us vulnerable and poor and make them powerful and rich– what’s an embedded agent not to love?

I wonder what their carbon footprint will be when the Chicoms finally decide our “leaders” are too corrupt, incompetent, and dependent to do anything about them finally moving on a self-defeating Taiwan

Damn Republicans…

According to IMPD, the shooting may have stemmed from a disturbance between two groups in the area. Lyles was believed to have been a bystander, not a target in the shooting. [More]

If only they would disarm, you and me…

The Streisand Effect

Oh, noes!!!

And about those best-laid schemes

- Do you listen when you talk? - I drift in and out.

For the Greater Good

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday proposed forcing social media users to verify their identities before posting, citing “national security” concerns. [More]

What could go wrong?

Publius was not available for comment.

Now that she’s let her inner fascist out, I don’t see her putting it back in …

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

This is a dark day for British democracy. Five people you’ve probably never heard of, and definitely never voted for, have ruled in their infinite wisdom that the UK government is forbidden from enacting the Rwanda policy to deal with illegal immigration. [More]

As for the Brits, I’m with Tommy Lee.

As for here, the rice bowl gun groups ignoring the threat this poses with the BS “single issue” excuse will be unforgivable if it ends up unraveling all the good they do.
