A Man of Which People?

Never Trump, Democrat, and Mitt Romney donors have swarmed to Utah Speaker of the House Brad Wilson’s campaign for U.S. Senate. [More]

Meanwhile, primary competitor Trent Staggs says:

Given Americans’ clear desire to protect themselves, I reject the idea that the Second Amendment is outdated. Every dictator who has seized power from a free society has first seized their weapons. The people who want to take our guns are the same people responsible for our crime wave.

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…

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.
