Oversight or Deliberate?

So why isn’t Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears making the Second Amendment an issue in her campaign? [More]

So much for help us help you. Talk about handing NRA an excuse to drag its feet.

My sense is it’s coming from the Virginia GOP. I base that on Youngkin going mum on guns in his campaign, and the way Hung Cao had a chance to show courage again but ran.

Its my belief that party “professionals'” are feeding the campaigns the arrogant old Lee Atwater line, “Who else are they going to vote for?”

That, of course, is exactly the wrong advice when the race is close and you’re trying to light a fire in bellies and get low-propensity gun voters off their @$$es and to the polls. And it makes me wonder if Swamp creatures are trying to lose, and discredit those who identify more with MAGA than with “moderates” as political forces to be reckoned with.

UPDATE

All you can do is try.

Moving Targets

Eric Swalwell Says Dems Will Target Private Citizens Who Work With Trump [More]

Really? Organized Democrat lawfare against citizens who don’t back their scams and vote their way?

See, this is the latest Big Lie Dems are pushing– that exposing their political criminality and making them pay for it, while it may be personally satisfying, is still only justice working the way it should. A sense of schadenfreude about karma, and even feeling a rush of revenge for wrongs done, is simply a side benefit of human nature.

Here’s one danger with his threat that seems directly relevant to us– just like the court judgments that assign decision protections to members of gun groups that obtained a judgment, being a member of such groups that support him and his agenda will mean you “worked with Trump.”

Me, I think this treasonous Swalwell f_head ought to be investigated for voter intimidation conspiracy, and if speech or debate clause protections really apply to doing it on CNN (I know about Murtha, but SCOTUS never weighed in). And that in turn reminds me of a write-up I once did concerning an anti-gun Vichycon, centered on this quote from an AP report:

A congressman has no special protection from criminal charges, a federal appeals panel ruled Wednesday in allowing a racketeering and bribery trial for Rep. Joseph M. McDade (R-Pa.). McDade had used the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause in asking for dismissal of the charges.

An investigation would be a whole lot more orderly and peaceable in the end than having to remind this toad Swalwell that people who feel they’re targeted and have nothing left to lose sometimes target back.

A New York State of Mind

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a dominant 20-point lead in the race for New York City Hall — bolstered by majority support from black, Latino and Asian voters, according to a new poll released Tuesday. [More]

And remember: Our diversity is our strength!

Guess who called Mexican “lazy,” said that “n_s [were]  a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us,”asserted “The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew,” and attributed “hereditary stupidity” to the Chinese.

So, would it be possible to ask if those characterizations apply to any who would vote for a Marxist, or would that get me condemned as a racist?

Go with the Plan

Email To NRA HQ/Foundation About Fusaro’s VA Plan [More]

I understand some are none too pleased with me for this.

Why anyone would let personal animosities block necessary actions is something only they can answer, but nonetheless fair for speculation as to why. Especially when they know the threat and have the manpower resources but are allocating them elsewhere.

Related UPDATE

The money they’re paying Paige King Johnson and urging members to fork over to attend would be a nice start…

Be nice to know what she really understands and advocates for…

Speaking of Brewing Civil Wars…

Renner believes he may have the “unifying” message conservative voters are looking for. [More]

If that message includes stabbing gun owners in the back and then acting like they have no one else to vote for, look for a lot of them to sit on their hands and prepare for the real civil war a Democrat victory ambitious Quislings like this are making inevitable.

Depth Charges

“Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,” a former Biden White House official said. “She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.” [More]

So they knew she was out of her depth in a ceremonial do-nothing position but nonetheless supported her getting the top job, no doubt because they knew she would be another stage prop puppet.

What does that say about them and their reverence for the Constitutional system, aside from they just want power over us and they’ll do and say anything to get more of it?

You’d have to be a psychopath, a dolt, or both to vote for that.

Connect the Dots

The Supreme Court ruled the Trump Administration can continue operations in Los Angeles to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from the streets [More]

So… elections have judicial consequences…?

And this actually does affect the “single issue”?

Go ahead, Democrats. Rebel not just against Trump but the Supreme Court.

Tales of the Expected

Well the 2A movement won’t get good originalist judges without voting, and it won’t get good 2A lawyers without working with and funding pro 2A groups. [More]

The argument that wining elections isn’t needed and that Trump and the courts will save us so we can rest assured the 2A is in no danger is an excuse that doesn’t hold against even minimal scrutiny. It’s also an abdication of self government and of having a hand in saving ourselves.

If someone from on high provides it to you, they own you.

As for the TINVOWOOT crowd, if you’re not willing to use the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders to do the easy things, I question how effective and organized you’ll be if the things we can still take for granted get existential and deadly.

Still, I fully expected most to not give a damn and the ones who do weigh in to justify lack of action with excuses. Call it the curse of Cassandra or attribute it to an inflated ego. That doesn’t alter a basic truth– if you don’t put work into something, don’t expect it to give you what you want.

And So It Begins

Democrat Walkinshaw wins special congressional election where Trump loomed large – Democrat wins Virginia special election seat after voters ‘send a statement’ on Trump policies [More]

Ready to see that happen again and again?

Yeah, but it was a Democrat district.

Making excuses and doing nothing else will ensure more Democrat districts.

Without Coordination, Money and Boots on the Ground, Virginia Will Be Lost to the Gun Prohibitionists

Fusaro has offered a detailed plan, and good one. It’s up to NRA and VCDL to share what plans they have developed to see how their detailed strategies compare… [More]

What happens here will be a bellwether for the midterms. We’re either serious about this — and willing to do all the necessary things — or we’re not and we won’t.

Splitting Adams

Eric Adams eyed by Trump for Saudi Arabia ambassadorship – NYC mayor is facing pressure to quit his campaign for a second term. [More]

So give a boost to gun-grabber Cuomo? Be funny if Trump ends up endorsing the Democrat.

It all boils down to elites and their money.

As a “gun voter,” I say let New York continue its descent and the hell with them.

And don’t get me started on “Republican” Sliwa.

Judging the Judge

Federal judge rules Trump violated military law by activating National Guard in California – Judge Charles Breyer’s opinion echoed remarks he made during a three-day trial in which he questioned if presidents have any limits on when they can use the military [More]

I have Constitutional concerns about overreach, too, but this is different.

If a judge has personal skin in the game that makes impartiality impossible, isn’t he supposed to recuse himself?

Senior District Judge Charles R. Breyer, in violation of his oath of office, did knowingly and willfully use his judicial position to advance political gain while interfering with the President’s constitutional prerogatives and enforcement of the rule of law.

Why doesn’t this “news” story, affecting voter perception, mention that?

Do any?

And what’s in it for Democrats to let violence and chaos reign?

The Shape of Things to Come

Democrats break GOP’s supermajority in Iowa after flipping state Senate seat [More]

Democrat Catelin Drey got 55% of the vote. She’s the founder of Moms for Iowa, which proclaims on its website:

We are passionate about curbing gun violence…

So Iowa gun owners should have known she’s a danger.

Republican opponent Christopher Prosch was described by Iowa Firearms Coalition as a “pro-Second Amendment candidate.” Their interview video has generated a whopping 81 views at this writing with no apparent shares. Its posting on X.com garnered one repost.

If gun owners don’t get involved — meaningfully — we can kiss the midterms goodbye. Don’t believe “the”gunfluencer” hype about Democrats being out of money, because the special interests it represents aren’t, or the party being too far left, because the dumbed-down, outraged, resentful and self-entitled constituents aren’t.

Apathy has always been a greater enemy than the antis, and if it continues, count on those who never lifted a finger to bitch and moan the loudest.

“We” sure do put a lot of deserved blame on Republicans. When a good one comes along, who helps ensure self government through representation?
