A ‘Progressive’ Paradox

MSNBC Legal Analyst: It’s a ‘Disservice’ to Cross-Examine Trump Rape Accuser [More]

That’s because “justice” demands due process be … uh … trumped by #BelieveWomen.

And it’s a hate crime to not acknowledge trans “women” — or those who just identify as such — as real women.

Which means we have to #BelieveBiologicalMales, of which Trump is one?

A New Hope

Ever since the 69-year-old conspiratorial activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination last week, a curious new category has appeared among the commentariat—libertarians and/or right-of-center journalists expressing strange new respect for a Hugo Chavez–admiring scion of the Establishment who has serially fantasized about throwing his political opponents in jail. [More]

Been puzzling over that one myself…

If anyone is going to suggest there’s an unstated secret “conservative” plan to use it to undermine Biden, it’s on them to demonstrate that they’re savvy enough 3D chess players to ensure it won’t be spit back in all our faces.

Kinda like that ice cream young Bobby spat in a cop’s face. I wonder what would have happened to a non-Kennedy on that…

‘Conservative’ Being a Relative Term and All…

Big money donors rally behind Biden as he launches his reelection bid [More]

So the One Percenters have once more put their money behind an old white man. Funny, how the Antifa types aren’t taking to the streets with that as a main screaming and burning point.

It’s almost like whoever’s “influencing” them is just exploiting useful idiots as distractions.

What Is He, Nuts?

Bannon noted on his “War Room” podcast that he is a big supporter of Kari Lake and would rather see her become former President Donald Trump’s running mate for 2024, but he floated the suggestion of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a replacement if Lake was simply uninterested in the idea. [More]

Put this a heartbeat away from the presidency?

He’s also a climate cultist.

I’m not getting why so many “conservatives” are lining up to publicly suck this guy off just because he’s useful in exposing the Covid fraud.

Astroturf Abatement Plan

These are the stakes in the effort to raise the voting threshold to 60% to approve changes to the Ohio Constitution. It’s about protecting our rights and shielding our state constitution from big money meddlers so that we’re not subject to the fickle political whims of the moment. [More]

Ohio gun owners: It’s in your interests to get up to speed on this and help.

Laws She Demands Should Apply to ‘Gun Sense Candidate’ Porter

“The allegations against Porter include claims that she dumped hot potatoes on her then-husband’s head and smashed a glass that led to him being cut by flying shards.” [More]

We can end potato violence!

A Symbolic Gesture

House Judiciary Committee to Vote on Overturning ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule [More]

That was yesterday. I’m not seeing anything on the committee’s news release page or Twitter feed yet.

In any case:

“The bill with the resolution will face a tough battle to get through the rest of Congress before heading to the President’s desk. Even if it does get to Biden’s desk, there is almost no chance that the President will sign it into law since he has been openly hostile to gun rights. The Republicans do not have the votes to override a veto, even if some Democrats switch sides.”

The true test will be what Republicans do if and when they have the power to see things through.

All’s Fair in Love and War

Sen. Feinstein is requesting a temporary replacement on the Judiciary Cmte Biden’s judicial nominees are held up as she recovers in CA It requires 60 votes (9 GOP votes) This is our chance to stop the weaponization of the judiciary Do NOT vote in favor of her replacement [More]

Strap ’em on, Republicans. Anyone who doesn’t believe this is war is too stupid and cowardly to be free.

Make the goddam gun-grabbing commies fight for every inch.
