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?

New Kind of Same Old Democrat

Fred Ode, a Lorain County entrepreneur, says he’s preparing to enter Ohio’s Democratic U.S. Senate race and is ready to pour millions of dollars of his own money into his campaign…Brown, Ode says, is “playing by the old rules. …Democrats have to make things happen.” [More]

Well, we know all about Brown’s old rules. What about Fred’s “new” ones?

Over at Ode Nepoexecutive Central, we see he owns a country club. Shall we see what he imposes when he exerts total control?

Yeah, uh, f_ you, Fred. Although I wouldn’t mind if you forced Brown to burn through some campaign cash.

And doesn’t this just say something about the priorities of many well-heeled country club Republicans I’m sure are members, who are on the course instead of at the range?

Kumbayah My Lord, Kumbayah

Yes, patriotism can be as simple as flying the flag or even reciting the Declaration of Independence on Fourth of July. But perhaps the greatest act of patriotism is something we can do every day: start to initiate or rekindle friendships with people with whom we disagree. [More]

What, you mean the communists who want to disarm, cancel, and kill me or just the useful idiots who vote them into power?

Figures… Heritage Foundation

The People’s Choice

Mamdani is polling at 44%, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who’s running as an independent, is at 25%. Republican Curtis Sliwa is at 12%, and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is at 7%. [More]

Still no “gun safety group” endorsements…?

Hey, if NYC goes full commie and Islamic terrorist attack it again, do the rest of us have to support a military response?
