About Last Night

I hate to spoil all the rave reviews from “our side,” but he said not one word about the Second Amendment. [More]

Why?

Biden had no problem attacking it.

Republicans are quick to pledge their “staunch 2A supporter” creds when the audience is just us gun owners, but when it comes to the Republic as a whole they avoid it. My guess is most of them don’t really understand it well enough to use their position as a bully pulpit, to champion it and educate their constituents on why it is such an important shared right. That absolutely needs to change, and the “gun lobby” needs to step up its game to teach them how and make clear it’s an expectation.

If gun owners let them take us for granted, they will.

Working in the president’s favor: The Democrats were sour-faced and seething. I doubt many of their voters’ minds were changed though, and that’s especially puzzling because the working class was presented with a lot of reasons why their economic interests have been, are, and will be better served by the Republican agenda.

I will give Trump credit for what may be a powerful and useful meme if the Republicans are smart enough to use it:

If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

Republicans should show their Democrat opponent who did not stand as part of their midterm campaign. It won’t work against treasonous communists like Omar and Tlaib who “represent” demographically-engineered parasite districts, but it could be an effective reminder in closer races.

A minor image criticism: An aide should have quietly taken him aside and straightened his hair before he entered the chamber. The left side looked like somebody took a leaf blower to it. The night was, after all, ultimately about image.

A self-inflicted vulnerability:

I’ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn’t know why I’d be taking it.

I’d expect someone like Mark Kelly to have a field day with that one, and for the DSM to amplify it. Then again, Kelly did not stand.

And the Hits Just Keep on Coming!

3 Attempts In 2 Years: How Mar-a-Lago Shooting Incident Raises Fears Over Trump’s Security After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination [More]

So, this latest attempt makes it a spate.

I just don’t get what could possibly influence weak-minded, narcissist losers to try such an outrageous thing… although Democrats are quick to insist where the fault lies.

And don’t forget: It’s not just him they hate.

Hey, who wouldn’t want to take out a tyrant who won’t leave office, right, Bobby and MS Now enablers?

Trump DOJ Stands Idly by as States Destroy the Second Amendment

Where is that plan of action that was due 30 days after the President’s Executive Order, Protecting Second Amendment Rights, dated February 7, 2025? Where is the DOJ on these grave violations of Americans’ gun rights? Why is the subversion of our Constitution so commonplace that lawmakers feel free to adopt infringements from countries that do not recognize a God-given right to defend life and liberty from tyranny? [More]

Harmeet needs to up her game.

Dunce Cap

Jada shared a selfie that shows her wearing a Harris/AOC 2028 t-shirt while pointing to a red ball cap she wore with white lettering that reads: “Is He Dead Yet?” It isn’t clear who she’s referring to. [More]

Of course it is, you lying celebrity suck-up propagandist. The rope-selling capitalist profiteers admit as much:

This design carries heavy satire, representing the frustration and exhaustion many feel toward Trump’s decisions. The hat was recently worn by Jada Pinkett Smith, drawing major attention and becoming a bold statement aimed directly at those who are hoping for a dramatic shift in politics.

Satire, hell– it’s a death wish for a two-time assassination target from the same subversives who stir up the lunatics while telling us to tone it down. And we also know it’s not just Trump they want dead.

Nice of them to dox themselves and all but admit to using communist slave labor:

Just like inauguration invitee Jeff Bezos, whose allowed products leave little doubt who is targeted.

As for the overprivileged head-covering communist-sympathizer who considers herself impervious to slut shaming as well as the effects of the takeover she endorses, useful idiots have a way of becoming useless eaters.

I wonder if Kamala and AOC approve of the cap… because their followers sure do, which should tell you something, especially with their rabid citizen disarmament agenda.

Disparaging Armed Citizens Undermines Trump Administration’s Credibility

Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]

In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Pretty good summation.

I could offer some “Yeah, buts…” to some of the “pro-gun” points, but overall fall back on two contentions I constantly make:

The administration, left on its own, is bipolar, and the Task Force and gun voters would benefit greatly from independent subject matter expert advisors.

Three contentions, actually: Those of us pointing out the disconnects are motivated by not wanting to see Trump blow it, which will allow the communi… Democrats to take over, and anyone calling for our heads for that is wearing their red MAGA cap too tight.

But I Have Promises to Keep…

NOW – Trump says he is adjusting his mass deportations policy to only go into cities if the mayors or governors “ask” and “say please,” adding, “I don’t want to go and force ourselves into a city, even if their numbers are terrible.” [More]

And:

NOW – Reporter: “Is your mission now to deport everyone who came in illegally?”

Trump: “We are totally focused on criminals, really bad criminals. Now you could say people that came in illegally are criminals, but I’m talking about murderers from different countries.” [More]

Any word on when we can expect those band uniforms…?

DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms

“You gotta win the midterms ’cause, if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” [More]

You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.

With ‘Republicans’ Like These…

Trump endorses Bruce Blakeman in New York governor’s race after Rep. Stefanik’s exit [More]

I somehow missed the whole drama, including her leaving after he sat on his hands.

So who is this “Republican conservative” with the Don’s seal of approval?

When it comes to gun control, he’s pretty much in lock step with Hochul [More]

And he’s a big proponent of “gun-free zones.”

Meanwhile, he wants to torpedo Thomas Massie.

My friends, ya got trouble.

Greene with Envy?

Greene recounted a tense exchange with Trump after she suggested inviting the victims to the Oval Office, during which he threatened, “My friends will get hurt.” That confrontation marked the final straw in their relationship, cementing her decision to step away from Congress after two terms. [More]

IF he actually said that.  And if that was the final straw.

I’m no Trump über alles defender, especially over this, but I need more than leftist media exploiting MTG, who either is unaware they’re using her to destroy Republican midterm chances, or more likely, knows full well she’s being destructive but stands to personally gain from all the noise.

So, what’s the holdup?

A False Argument

As seen in reader comment at Fox News:

You can rest assured if Trump was involved, even in the least way these files would have been released during the 4 years that Biden had them

That’s a narrative defenders of the indefensible are using, and it’s bull$#!+. Files weren’t released under Biden because it’s a Mutually Assured Destruction pact where top Democrats — and donors/cronies both parties are beholden to — would also be exposed.

The Democrats screaming loudest for full release are the new radicals out to replace the Old Guard, who stand to benefit by unseating tenured rivals.

This reminds me of nothing so much as this.

Democrats and the media smell blood and they’re going for it. As far as the mid-terms go:

A Key Figure

Matthew Hoover has been released from a federal prison in Wisconsin after serving nearly three years of a five-year sentence for trafficking machine guns. He is now headed to a halfway house to serve out the remainder of his conviction. [More]

Google AI says this about the snitch:

Where the hell is Harmeet Dhillon? Task Force exclusivity strikes again in another bout of bipolarity.

Or is it? Everybody realizes what the “law-abiding citizens” qualifier allows, right? Hey, if you don’t like it, vote out Blue State Democrats! Until then, obey.

Meanwhile, if Trump can pardon Henry Cuellar:

Why does Hoover have to remain hostage another two years?

Rump Derangement Syndrome?

Yeah, I know, Snopes says that’s false.

‘Someone’ Save His Life Tonight?

Singer Elton John said in an interview last week that if President Donald Trump managed to end AIDS, he would be “one of the greatest presidents” of all time. [More]

Talk about something that’s basically 100% preventable. To engage in unchecked promiscuity is a choice.

I don’t want any politician with the power to control the one thing that can “end” it, individual behavior. Or to make me pay for self-destructive choices after the fact with even more tax enslavement.

And that includes for multimillionaire pedos sexualizing cub scouts to encourage putting more children at risk:

Cutting His Losses?

And if Trump does, will they turn on him?
