But Lloyd says “No worries” on “kinetic military action,” and before you say “Oh bullsh!+,” I defy you to think of even one incident where our government has ever lied to us about something important.

I’ll See Your True Colors Shining Through
RFK Jr. comes out for reparations, is hammered by conservatives [More]
They ought to welcome it. It will help them expose another desperate Democrat election interference lie, provided they’re not too pandering to use it.
And They’re Listening to Him Why…?
Jeffries calls Jordan a ‘clear and present danger’ to democracy [More]
You have to wonder what kind of principles-free Republicans would let that subversive racist influence their judgment.

Will Republican Presidential Candidates Ever Give Clear 2A Rights Answers?
Firearms News will be exploring where these contenders stand on the Second Amendment, in both a separate analysis documenting actions, positions, and statements, and via a questionnaire, the subject of this article, designed to produce unequivocal answers. [More]
Finding out who shines us on, who sends us boilerplate, and who is not afraid to lead on the Second Amendment, could be useful to know for the primaries.
Naming Names
Several Republicans are still holding out against Jordan’s bid. The House Judiciary Committee chairman can only afford to lose four conference members due to House Republicans’ slim majority. Those who stand in opposition include Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Freedom Caucus member Ken Buck (R-CO), and John Rutherford (R-FL).

They prefer Hakeem Jeffries’ strategy…?
Way Off Base
Former Dodgers star Steve Garvey jumps into the California Senate race as a Republican [More]
He’s got plenty of “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you” happy-talk platitudes, but where does he stand on anything? And have California Republicans learned anything from the last time they backed celebrity over principle?
At least we know Garvey’s got the screw constituents and duck the fallout part down…
This guy’s got more shady baggage than Sam Brinton…
What’s a Little Carpetbagging Between Friends?
Laphonza Butler Removes ‘Maryland’ as Residence After Newsom Appointment as California Senator [More]

Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing
H.R. 5767: To prohibit any State that suspends open or concealed firearm carry licenses from receiving Federal financial assistance. [More]
Here’s all you need to know:
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
This kind of pandering to the base to score political points actually does harm, as it distracts attention from more achievable priorities we should be paying attention to/sharing.

Not to Put Too Fine a Point on Things, But…
“We already know the President took bribes from Burisma. I also want to add, betraying your country is treason.” [More]
They’re going after Trump with scorched earth lawfare backed by the might of states in collusion with the feds.
You can’t counter that with committee meetings the DSM either ignores and/or misrepresents/condemns.

Much Ado About Nothing
Today, Congressman Cloud led a group of 29 Republicans in reintroducing, “The Protecting the Right To Keep and Bear Arms Act,” which would prevent President Biden and the Department of Health and Human Services from using public health emergencies to implement unconstitutional gun control. [More]
Yeah, well, “1% chance of being enacted,” so all the breathlessness over this attention-seeker of a bill is sucking oxygen away from priorities.
Holding out the promise of red meat when none is available is the oldest Republican trick in the book. They just never seem to press all that hard when they’re in a position to actually make something happen.

Her Part in This
Paved with Good Intentions
An Armed New York: the New York Young Republican Club Stands for the 2nd Amendment [More]
You guys are going to have to do more than “wishing” and teaching your members how to comply with infringements.
And before virtue signaling “Legal immigration is beneficial to America,” you might want to check the numbers on how they vote, because 60% Democrat to 15% Republican sure doesn’t sound that way.

Former Baltimore Mayor’s Candidacy Announcement Minimizes Corruption and Crimes
She took from “needy families” and “the poor”…the same ones she’s counting on slick-talking into voting for her again. [More]
Stupid Baltimore voters continue to impose the kind of government they deserve on everybody else.
This posted when I’d already left for Texas, so I’m just getting to it now. I’ve got a ton of work to do to play catch-up on article commitments, so that will take priority over blogging here until I can clear the decks.
That means there will be story tips I can’t get to.
Excusing the Inexcusable
Keep the Corpse on Life Support
Kentucky Democrat Gov. Beshear dodges when asked if he’ll appoint Republican]should McConnell step down [More]
Democrats do it with Feinstein and Fetterman, and they’ve got nothing to lose.
Admittedly, though, keeping a walker that bites you has its drawbacks.

GOP presidential candidate calls for stronger gun background checks
Former GOP Rep. Will Hurd said fellow Republicans are worried about the political ramifications if they support gun control measures [More]
I guess “former” and “political ramifications” don’t register with this dolt. He didn’t qualify for the debate so he’s gotta get attention somehow.
Figures he had an “A”-rating from NRA.
