New Kind of Same Old Democrat

Fred Ode, a Lorain County entrepreneur, says he’s preparing to enter Ohio’s Democratic U.S. Senate race and is ready to pour millions of dollars of his own money into his campaign…Brown, Ode says, is “playing by the old rules. …Democrats have to make things happen.” [More]

Well, we know all about Brown’s old rules. What about Fred’s “new” ones?

Over at Ode Nepoexecutive Central, we see he owns a country club. Shall we see what he imposes when he exerts total control?

Yeah, uh, f_ you, Fred. Although I wouldn’t mind if you forced Brown to burn through some campaign cash.

And doesn’t this just say something about the priorities of many well-heeled country club Republicans I’m sure are members, who are on the course instead of at the range?

Kumbayah My Lord, Kumbayah

Yes, patriotism can be as simple as flying the flag or even reciting the Declaration of Independence on Fourth of July. But perhaps the greatest act of patriotism is something we can do every day: start to initiate or rekindle friendships with people with whom we disagree. [More]

What, you mean the communists who want to disarm, cancel, and kill me or just the useful idiots who vote them into power?

Figures… Heritage Foundation…

Behold, a God Who Bleeds!

Faking Wokeness to Fit In – 88% of students report pretending to hold more progressive views than they really do [More]

Motives probably include everything from just plain cowardice, to wanting to avoid struggle sessions, to wanting to get a good grade, to wanting to get laid, and more. In any case, it hopefully means the David Hoggs of the world have overestimated their political clout.

There’s also the potential– once they discover they don’t need to pretend in order to keep ideological bullies at bay — that they’ll resent those who pressured them to, realize they’re neither invulnerable nor unassailable, and undergo a Salish Epiphany.

The Animating Contest

Don’t be content to just bellyache, instead do something. And by “do something”, I don’t mean the half-assed leftist version of “do something”, I mean give some serious thought, and come up with something potentially meaningful you can do, to help our cause. [More]

Stumped for ideas? Pick one or more, or come up with something that suits you.

Or just plain lazy…?

Crime Story

We present this thread with limited commentary because Anna Giaritelli’s story is so troubling and damning of the D.C. police force, it truly speaks for itself. On that note, please send this to any pundit, anchor, Democrat, or Lefty you see spewing the flat-out LIE that violent crime is down 30% in that city. [More]

To say they care about women’s rights is pretty much the same as saying cattlemen care about bovine rights. Any protection has an ultimate goal of maximizing exploitation.

Not that you’d expect these useful idiots to do anything but low with the herd…

As for arguing about it with Lefties, here’s why a descent into their cognitive dissonance is a waste of time, offered without further comment:

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Make it make sense: Gun grabbers come out against fighting crime [More]

Gladly. It’s not about fighting crime.

It never was.

Just Like the Founders Intended with ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’

[T]he Department of Justice [is] fighting the so-called non-resident handgun ban that says that you cannot take a possession of a handgun in a state in which you are not a resident from an FFL. That’s right. This law is being challenged down there in Texas and the Department of Justice has just responded arguing that the law is indeed constitutional under our Second Amendment. Is it? [Watch]

Of course not.

Either the AUSA signing onto that is a still-embedded Democrat purposely undermining Pam Bondi’s memo, or it’s all smoke and mirrors and she was just telling gun owners what they wanted to hear to keep them corralled.

And so much for the new “Pro-gun” ATF mandarin NSSF is gushing over.

In either case, it once more illustrates that until the 2A Task Force includes actual 2A advocates instead of just government employees beholden to their masters, we can continue to expect DOJ bipolarity, with aggressive MAGA Über Alles types asking if we’d rather have Kamala.

There’s a reason the rice bowl gun groups aren’t demanding a seat at the table. They’ve been showering him with flattery and simultaneously walking on eggshells, afraid to p!$$ off a mercurial Trump, lest he condemn them and cast them out.

Beto Testing

Beto O’Rourke says he does not regret saying he will take away AK-47s and AR-15s while running for president [More]

He still hasn’t fleshed out how for us.

He was speaking as if he had presidential powers, so, say it’s through executive action or even a law he signed– presuming he’s replaced enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Bruen.

Now what?

What’s it going to take to get the guns away from the, say, Three Percent who will say “Hell no, you won’t,” despite seeing some picked off to be made examples of to spook the rest of the herd…?

How far is he willing to go, and what will that do to the smooth running of society?

Trump Asked to Remember Pledge about Military Base Victim Disarmament Policies

“As Commander in Chief, this is a pen-and-a-phone moment for you,” CDT asserted. “No rogue federal judge has the power to stop you. Do it this week, and take one more easy Win.” [More]

Will any “gun rights groups” add their voices? Why or why not? How about just plain gun owners like …you?

Lies of Omission

“Greyhound? I’m working on trying to get them to stop their policy of letting guns be carried across state lines…and we want Governor Kemp to come on with the gun law, close it back. We don’t need our young brothers with guns,” Hightower said. [More]

Yo, Fox 5 and “real reporter” Eric Mock (originally from Portland OR) who called it “murder”: You don’t think it’s important to inform your readers/viewers that the “victim” was a “prohibited person” who was shot and killed while trying to commit an armed robbery…?

Any plans on a “clarification” or are you hoping nobody notices?

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners secured a major victory today after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a mandate overturning California’s “one-gun-per-month” restriction, setting a historic precedent.
