A Vote Delayed…

Democrats delay votes on police, gun control legislation Package included bills on a new assault weapons ban, to reinstate some civil liability for gun-makers and on grants for police [More]

That means there are Democrats afraid to vote for it because it won’t play in their home districts. I need to find out who those are. There could be a real left-against-left exploitable weakness here.

Media More Than Happy to Help Republicans Blow ‘Red Wave’

“Losses in Ohio, Georgia, and Pennsylvania would almost certainly doom the GOP’s chances of winning the Senate.” [More]

Democrat media megaphones are ready, willing, and able to amplify and exploit self-inflicted wounds as the Stupid Party continues to demoralize its base.

We’re the Only Ones Resigned Enough

NC town’s entire police force quits in protest over progressive town manager [More]

She sounds like a real entitled prize. But don’t worry– she won’t be the one serving warrants or responding to domestic dispute calls, what with Sheriff Bizzell smelling a contract cities opportunity…

Funny, at first I thought this was a repeat of a story I came across earlier this month, but that one was in Colorado.

Panama Red and Brazil Nuts

On July 6, teachers-union activists began protests … The leadership of the construction workers union are militant leftists… [More]

Thanks, Jimmy Carter and the Senate!

And as long as we’re heading south:

But with just over two months before the first round of voting, opinion surveys widely show Brazilians think they’d be better off without Bolsonaro. Frustration over the spiraling cost of living has propelled Lula to lead the race by more than 10 percentage points. [More]

And what will be one of the first things Lula does when he’s back in power…?

So the Answer is Switching Teats? Really?

Bottom line is that in order for the Republican Party to attract more minority voters, Republicans need to do a much better job going into minority communities and educating these voters about what is actually going on in the country and what it means to them. [More]

I guess.

I always thought that just like providing for yourself, a responsibility of citizenship was to inform yourself, including determining which voices best comported with reality. Somebody comes along and wants to “give” you something, especially information, it pays to find out what’s in it for them.

Look at Me! I’m One of You!

AOC fakes being handcuffed after arrest at abortion rights protest [More]

Everything about her and her fellow Marxist apparatchiks is phony– right down to them pretending to be among the oppressed.

Going back to an earlier “protest,” I’m still wondering why there were no criminal charges for taking over the Capitol and interfering with “the peoples’ business” when John Lewis et al. staged a violence monopoly sit-in. You tell me how oath-breakers undermining a fundamental right the Founders deemed “necessary to the security of a free State” is not a seditious conspiracy.

Locally, the virtue-signaling all-white and woke Stow city council renamed a damn bridge after him.

But No One is Talking About Taking Your Guns…

Not that that would invalidate the right to keep and bear arms…

Any bets on Donald Trump ever giving Thomas Massie the public apology he owes him?

I’ll have more to say on the foolish and subversive  “Active Shooter Alert” — and the foolish and subversive Republicans who appear to be doing their utmost to break up a “red wave — in an article I’m planning to write soon.

The MidTerm Variant

Biden Administration Planning to Extend Covid Public Health Emergency – HHS Sec. Beccera’s warning about “midterm” variant shows that the real emergency involves Democrats’ political health. [More]

I’m sure any concerns about this are “baseless“– or at least I’m sure that will be the narrative to parrot.

Always Room for Compromise

Student op-ed claims certain voting privileges should be revoked from ‘cis men’ [More]

So much for the people always hyperventilating over “our democracy”…

Maybe we could have a tradeoff, starting with people who don’t work having any say in the “redistribution” of money from people who do…

And then there are all those non-gun owners…

#LetHimSpeak

Jan. 6 ‘investigators’ caught in ‘pack of lies’ – Oath Keepers founder wants to confront partisan team [More]

That would pretty much mean the whole purpose of all this is to persecute and eliminate political enemies, continue with the steal, and manipulate the next election by feeding the voters lies…

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Jan. 6 Committee Admits It Isn’t Even Trying To Verify ‘Bombshell’ Claims [More]

Why would they, if the goal is not to prove but to sway the electorate with malicious innuendo?

UPDATE

Boy, has this guy got a wrong number!

Point/Counterpoints

“Will he run in 2024? You bet he will. Will he be the GOP nominee? Absolutely. Will he win the election? Yes,” Morris writes in his quick reading strategy book provided to Secrets in advance of tomorrow’s release. [More]

Vs.:

One glimmer of good news for Mr. Biden is that the survey showed him with a narrow edge in a hypothetical rematch in 2024 with former President Donald J. Trump: 44 percent to 41 percent. [More]

And:

Half of G.O.P. Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll Finds [More]

So who do we believe? Those who want to demoralize the America First agenda and dissuade someone they fear will win from running, or an “ex” Clinton insider with suspect motives (and a book to sell) who may know Trump is too toxic to win, and so wants to encourage him to try?

The gaslighting is only going to get stronger.

 

Gun Prohibitionist Abrams Spares No Expense on Own Security

People who must pay for their own security are private citizens, the ones to whom the Second Amendment was supposed to assure an uninfringed right to keep and bear arms. Most — including Abrams’ supporters — can’t afford to. That she would also deny them the means to protect themselves speaks of a swindled constituency with views manipulated by a subversive public education system, and a media politically hostile to guns in private hands. [More]

Only two kinds of people would vote for this self-serving hypocrite: Ignorant and manipulated citizenship malpractitioners or evil apparatchiks who know exactly what they’re doing and why.

Scared Schiffless

“BREAKING: Schiff files amendment to NDAA that would conceal any info collected by the U.S. military for use in congressional investigations or court proceedings. Massive attempted coverup of enormous proportions and preemptive power grab to prevent GOP oversight next year… [More]

So much for being subordinate to civilian authority. With a blank check like that, what orders won’t the standing army obey?

What do authoritarians always ask us?

If you’re not doing anything wrong, what have you got to hide…?

‘Investing’ in Astroturf

The Giffords PAC is using Congress’ bipartisan gun deal to fuel ads supporting Democrats and attacking Republicans who voted against it. [More]

They’ll pick races where they think it will be close, so gun owners who live in those states and districts are responsible for knowing what the score is with their reps and making sure good deeds don’t get punished.

Hey, I see they’re backing the guy who shot [pulled a gun on] an unarmed black jogger and the guy who obstructed a police investigation into child abuse! Nice to know the quality of the company they keep remains consistent.
