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.”

Not a Good Look

They seem like reasonable questions for voters to want answers to.

Then again, I thought all mine were, too, and while he answered some, he ignored others.

It didn’t have to be this way.

And once more, NRA shows it has learned nothing:

They’re still smarting over the last time they tried to f_ him over with a fraudulent replacement because they wanted to insert Fix NICS into the reciprocity bill.

Next time NRA begs you for money, tell them you’re sending it to Massie instead.

Democrats Fleeing ‘Socialism’ Bringing Anti-Gun Politics with Them

It’s almost like all freedoms are interconnected or something, and that an unrestrained government powerful enough to control guns is powerful enough to do whatever it wants. [More]

They’ve fouled their nests. Now they’ve come to foul yours.

SICK: Democrat Congressman Suggests that War Secretary Pete Hegseth Should Be EXECUTED [More]

Another “war hero” along the lines of one who came before

If being a Marine was all it took, we’d have no better pal.

I’m more concerned that he wants enforcers empowered to kill me if I don’t comply with his edicts’ orders and surrender my rights.

And the Winner Is…

Casey Putsch lost to Vivek Ramaswamy. [More]

I figured he would, but just because you’re outnumbered doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

Barring unforeseen upheaval, I give Ohio 10 years to go solid blue. And our “gun rights leaders” will have played a big part in that.

And talk about a relevant UPDATE

Secretary of State Frank LaRose is prohibited by Article 15, Section 4 of the Constitution of Ohio from certifying Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy’s results in the Ohio Republican Party nomination for Governor of the state until he confirms he is a Citizen of the United States. [More]

I guess the idea of “Heritage Americans” doesn’t seem so “loony” to him about now. Wouldn’t this be a hoot if Casey won by default? Until Swamp Vichycons started helping Amy Acton by sabotaging him because he ain’t in their Big Club…

UPDATE

Frank won’t know until the promised lawsuit:

Based on reports from the May 2026 Ohio primary, there is no evidence that Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose refused to verify Vivek Ramaswamy’s win or questioned his legal citizenship.

Denial of Gun Licenses to Political Opposition in Germany Has Chilling Historic Precedent

Disarming anyone disfavored by the state is one of the oldest power guarantors devised by governments, and this happening in Germany recalls another set of laws imposed within the lifetimes of people still living. [More]

It’s déjà vu all over again.

GOP frontrunner in key gubernatorial race forced to answer about hiring illegal immigrants: ‘I don’t know’ [More]

He wants to sign your checks but he doesn’t even know what the one’s he signing are paying for…?

OK, but despite that, says he’s against illegal aliens. How is he on the legal ones?

Georgia GOP Governor Hopeful Owns Company Importing Foreign Nurses Over Americans

Cultural terraforming to the advantage of Democrats, anyone…?

And note he doesn’t even think the Second Amendment is worth mentioning, let alone detailing a plan to defend and advance it.

As Billy Mays would say, “But wait! There’s more!”:

How is this Vichycon the “frontrunner”? Aside from through shady “dark money”?

And in the interests of fairness:

Anybody see 2A being an “issue”? On his campaign website, I mean, not just on social media.

Or know his position on bringing in more “legal” foreign nationals?
