Revenge of the Weasel Whisperer

Weaselwhisperertillis

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.

That Republicans aren’t even floating the idea of removing him from the committee shows the Swamp is far from drained.

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

Of course not.

They just realize it’s not the winner at the polls the zealots say it is and are focusing on other ways to bamboozle the low-informed.

Let them win the midterms and make Trumpism look vulnerable and you’ll see it back with a vengeance.

Color within the Lines

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for Alabama to use a pro-Republican congressional map that eliminates one of its two districts where Black voters make up a majority or ​near-majority, giving a boost to President Donald Trump as his party defends its control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.

OK, but what’s that got to do with RKBA?

Plummer’s Helpers

Gov. Greg Abbott has designated CAIR a foreign terrorist organization tied to Hamas—now the group is backing Democrat Letitia Plummer for the powerful Harris County judge seat. [More]

Plus she opposes ICE.

Are there any subversives who don’t support her?

Kinda makes you want to bulldoze the Alamo and put up public housing for foreign nationals, doesn’t it?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Win’ Is

Texas has emerged as the biggest winner in corporate America’s flight from high-tax blue states, attracting a wave of headquarters relocations as companies increasingly abandon costly coastal hubs for lower-tax Republican strongholds. [More]

How will they vote?

And how long will the comparative profitability last?

Out with the Old?

The betting market says it’s already a done deal. Bigly.

I wonder how many of these guys will vote.

UPDATE

MAGA triumph: Trump ally Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn in bitter Texas GOP primary war [More]

Texas gun owners, you have your work cut out for you, because guess who is leading in the polls:

‘Judgment Day is Coming’

Cornyn Rejects Texas GOP Call To Pull Negative Ads [More]

All you really need to know:

If you think Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, wait ’til this guy loses. Don’t be surprised to see him become a Lincoln Project-style useful idiot talking head for the Democrat propaganda machine along their lines of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Must Be an Election Year

Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-04) introduced the Freedom from Taxes Act, landmark legislation that fully repeals the remaining excise taxes imposed on machine guns and destructive devices under the National Firearms Act (NFA). The bill also eliminates the Special Occupational Tax (SOT) on Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), delivering significant tax relief to law-abiding gun owners and America’s firearms industry. [More]

Prognosis:

0% chance of being enacted

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Simon-Pure

The fourth-term congressman, who lost decisively to state Rep. Steve Toth, said baseless attacks about his alleged insider trading and gun stances fueled the upset… Rep. Dan Crenshaw blamed unfounded attacks and a culture of misinformation … saying in an interview that the “power of clickbait” proved too much to overcome. [More]

Right. Couldn’t have been what preceded those “attacks”…

Kingmaker

Trump has given Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton his “Complete and Total Endorsement” in the Republican runoff against Sen. John Cornyn, calling Paxton a “true MAGA Warrior” and specifically citing his commitment to “Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.” [More]

Just remember to stay on his good side, Ken. Because he once had “terrific” things to say about another guy:

Massietrump 600x600

No tears for Cornyn, just nobody think Paxton comes without warts.

With Massie’s engineered loss, Trump is showing any Party doubters how he can clear the board and replace the pieces. It’ll be interesting to see what events capture the public attention before November and how those play with the general electorate, or if Democrats all hate Trump so much they’ll more widely greenlight communists.

And then see what Trump’s plans are for John Thune after that.

The Home Stretch

He answered mine– sort of.

You know where I stand.

This is what you want to watch.

A Matter of Priorities

Billionaire Mark Cuban stood on the White House stage Monday alongside the man he spent the last year trying to keep out of the Oval Office. [More]

And:

‘Worthless piece of [bleep]’: Actor James Woods torches Republican leader John Thune as ‘treacherous rat’ – ‘Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel’ [More]

So, who does Trump reserve his most destructive vitriol for?

Timing is Everything

Massie’s ex-girlfriend alleges he arranged her Capitol Hill job, then offered $5,000 to drop termination suit – Allegations surface as Massie faces a bruising Kentucky primary challenge from Trump-backed Ed Gallrein [More]

I guess it’s easier than debating him.

And with the critical implications of these allegations, does no one find this curious and worth investigating?

Who is he? What are his interests? How has the media vetted him for credibility?

While Rome Burns

But…but…but she’s a Gun Sense Candidate (as well as a radical communist sympathizer, so figure that one out).

It looks like Spencer Pratt thinks “You can never have enough guns in your house.”

Don’t worry, our illustrious leaders are hard at work making political ads like this illegal (anybody see a disclaimer or AI/satire notice?). Figures Brian Fitzpatrick would be on board to give Democrats the fraudulent claim of being “bipartisan.”
