Revenge of the Vichycons

Lisa Murkowski should have been out of the U.S. Senate in the 2010 elections, when she was beaten in the Republican primary by Joe Miller. Instead, she conducted a write-in campaign in the general election and managed to survive when Democrats fled from their candidate and wrote her name in to deny Miller, a tea party conservative, an opportunity to serve. And then Murkowski had her allies pass the chaotic, corrupt, and infamous ranked choice voting system, together with a jungle primary, in advance of last year’s election. Had there been a Republican primary, she would have been crushed by Kelly Tshibaka, whom the state GOP endorsed. [More]

Yeah, well, some of us have tried to warn, but our reach is limited.

That must be why I still hear “conservatives” raving about Tim Scott.

Continuing Failed Policies and Blaming Guns Ensures Urban Shootings Will Continue

But no matter, because the messaging that will be the constant is that the problem is with guns (combined with systemic racism) and the solution is more prohibitions. [More]

Creating places for violence is the one thing these frauds are good at.

The ‘Conservative’ Court

Only the states and Congress can regulate elections, according to the Constitution. But not according to SCOTUS. [More]

Well, it’s not like they get asked relevant questions in the job interview…

“Usually, when Senators at confirmation hearings have asked Supreme Court nominees to comment on topical legal and constitutional issues, the nominees have firmly declined to do so.” The report explains. “In those situations, the nominees typically have taken the position that answers to questions which convey their personal views would conflict with their obligation to avoid appearing to make commitments, or provide signals, as to how they would vote as a Justice on future cases.”

J’Accuse…!

The National Rifle Association acted as a “foreign asset” for Russia in the period leading up to the 2016 election, according to a new investigation unveiled Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. [More]

This communist stool sample never saw a gun he didn’t want to ban. This is just his way of throwing out an accusation that gets a lot of shallow publicity to help gin up outrage among anyone stupid enough to support their own disarmament and vote for a Democrat, and NRA makes a convenient, self-deflating punching bag.

Los Angeles City Council Arrests Point to ‘Criminals for Gun Control’ Mentality

“Curren Price is the latest member of the Los Angeles City Council to be arrested in recent years.” … “I am a firm believer in the control of guns, the restraint of guns, and the federal government’s proposal for the regulation of guns,” Curren told Our Weekly in 2013 in a report on the “Gun Culture on South L.A.” [More]

Projection much?

Triumph of the Vichycons

GOP Squish Caucus Saves Evil Adam Schiff From Being Censured [More]

They really are doing their damnedest to douse and fire in bellies for ’24. And would it be too much to name them and save the rest of us the time?

Anyway, it’s consistent with what we’ve come to expect.

UPDATE

I gotta say, the Yeas and Nays confuse me, as do some of the names I see. So if they voted “Yea” they were against the resolution?

Is Thomas Massie right? What’s that assessment based on, speech or debate?

Who Will Judge the Judges?

Third Circuit, En Banc, Range v. Lombardo: Not All Modern Felons Lose Second Amendment Rights … Several judges dissented. [More]

Which ones?

Who nominated them?

Who voted to confirm them?

I could go find out but it would take time I don’t have right now.

It would be nice if there were a website that provided judicial ratings and a way to hold those who enabled them politically accountable. It would be even more useful if it also politically scaled and rated inferior court judges running in “nonpartisan” elections and showed who backs them so their partisan allegiances could be inferred.

I guess I’m talking something like Ballotpedia on steroids. Too bad the name “Judicial Watch” is taken, although come to think of it, they’d be the perfect ones to take this on.

Democrats Pressuring House Republicans into Caving on Guns

Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]

They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.

The Way the Game is Played

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is introducing a bill on Tuesday that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from arming its agents with taxpayer money. [More]

She’s pandering to rah-rah Republican gun owners over something she knows damn well doesn’t have a chance in hell of passing and counting on them being oblivious to her screwing them in Biden’s ‘Bipartisan’ Betrayal.

As Expected

White House threatens to veto GOP resolution against its pistol brace ban [More]

Was there ever any doubt that it was anything but symbolic, with no chance of going anywhere?

Let’s see what the Republicans do if they keep the House and regain the Senate and the White House, that is, if they don’t blow it.

Delegated Authority

This mailer was sent to me by longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H, who is of the opinion that primary competitor Marie March is the better RKBA choice:

I’m not in a position to weigh in, so leave it to those of you who are to make your case in comments, below, if you’re so inclined.

I will say it’s refreshing to see candidates competing on who is most pro-RKBA.
