Not ‘The Only Ones’?

Trump’s Secret Service engaged in ‘intense standoff’ with Chinese officials over gun – Members of President Donald Trump’s Secret Service detail have reportedly clashed with Chinese officials after they were denied entry into a historic Beijing temple because one of the agents was carrying a gun. [More]

I’d love to know what “compromise” was reached, and what return “courtesies” are allowed here.

Kingmaker

Trump has given Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton his “Complete and Total Endorsement” in the Republican runoff against Sen. John Cornyn, calling Paxton a “true MAGA Warrior” and specifically citing his commitment to “Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.” [More]

Just remember to stay on his good side, Ken. Because he once had “terrific” things to say about another guy:

Massietrump 600x600

No tears for Cornyn, just nobody think Paxton comes without warts.

With Massie’s engineered loss, Trump is showing any Party doubters how he can clear the board and replace the pieces. It’ll be interesting to see what events capture the public attention before November and how those play with the general electorate, or if Democrats all hate Trump so much they’ll more widely greenlight communists.

And then see what Trump’s plans are for John Thune after that.

A Matter of Priorities

Billionaire Mark Cuban stood on the White House stage Monday alongside the man he spent the last year trying to keep out of the Oval Office. [More]

And:

‘Worthless piece of [bleep]’: Actor James Woods torches Republican leader John Thune as ‘treacherous rat’ – ‘Fetterman has done more for the Republican platform than this weasel’ [More]

So, who does Trump reserve his most destructive vitriol for?

Not a Good Look

They seem like reasonable questions for voters to want answers to.

Then again, I thought all mine were, too, and while he answered some, he ignored others.

It didn’t have to be this way.

And once more, NRA shows it has learned nothing:

They’re still smarting over the last time they tried to f_ him over with a fraudulent replacement because they wanted to insert Fix NICS into the reciprocity bill.

Next time NRA begs you for money, tell them you’re sending it to Massie instead.

On This We Can Agree

Rep. Clyde Leads Coalition Urging Trump to Pick an A-G Who Will ‘Immediately’ Wipe Away Biden Gun Control [More]

Good ideas, especially the part saying ” The DOJ should not be in the business of defending plainly unconstitutional firearms restrictions.”

Too bad we rarely see such leadership when elections aren’t forthcoming, with sustaining momentum afterward for lasting solutions always being the problem.

O Come Let Us Adore Him

Republican Congressman Troy Nehls said President Donald Trump is ‘almost the second coming’ of Jesus Christ while being interviewed by a CNN reporter on Capitol Hill on Thursday. [More]

Cult-like behavior won’t help us repel the Moloch-worshipping Democrats.

There’s no excuse for the Christ-like poster, anyone who says he was just being a doctor is gaslighting you, and it doesn’t help that the guy he’s “healing” looks like Jeffrey Epstein.

And as far as Trump now favoring warrantless spying, well, God IS supposed to be omniscient and know what’s in your heart…

It’s like he’s trying to destroy any political chances for Republicans in general and Constitutional originalists in particular. It’s like that was the plan all along, while he strings devotees along with promises.

“Who else you gonna vote for?” may become the moot point some have always known it to be. Perhaps a better question for Second Amendment advocates is “Who are you going to let disarm you and how committed are you to saying ‘No’?” Because that’s ultimately the power they have over us — and we have over them.

I’ve always tried to present the good and the bad on the guy, both here and at the old place. If that’s enough for anyone reading this to brand me an enemy, all I can say is we must have very different visons of what America is supposed to be and stand for.

UPDATE

And not to use this as an excuse, but as an example of outraged leftist hypocrisy:

Not Here for the Ratio

So that’s how they get away with it!

And their “solution”?

Then again, even blind pigs can find the occasional acorn:

Once More Unto the Breach

Trump has just announced thanks to Gun Owners America that they are going to reconsider the Biden era frame and receiver rule. Is this a shock? Should we have freaked out last week? Well, we’re going to talk about it because as I said last week in another video, I told you so. [Watch]

If so, great, but where I come from, “going to reconsider” doesn’t mean “will,” “may” can also mean “may not,” and we should all be hearing this in an unequivocal announcement from the administration, not parceled out to a select few supportive influencers.

Sorry if my first impression is that this sounds like an electioneering tactic from someone skilled at telling gun owners what they want to hear, but he’s been playing this game on us for years, so everyone will have to forgive me if I suspect this is more of the same — and if he does do it, it will be more out of manipulation than sincere conviction.

Change my mind.

Biden… Excuse Me, I Mean Trump Administration Coming After Pistol Braces… Again

He not only made numerous promises to Americans regarding the Second Amendment, but he also specifically referenced the pistol brace rule, going so far as to say he would tear it up immediately upon moving back into the White House. How then have we arrived at the current impasse? [More]

This is a brave article when you realize the epic fury of the MINOs (MAGA in Name Only) will be vented not at the serial breaker of campaign promises, but at the writer and the magazine. I say this as someone who has prompted more than one demand for a publisher to choose between firing me or having their subscription cancelled.

Here’s the thing before dismissing this as “blackpilling”: Find one charge made that’s not documented. Pointing out his betrayals is not a betrayal of him. To not point them out would be a betrayal of ourselves.

Those of us calling Trump and his administration to task have offered course correction after course correction to steer things right again, only to see him ignore us and order full ramming speed. And it could have all been avoided with some simple inclusion.

If the Dems take it all it won’t be because of Cassandras’ urgent warnings. It will be because those warnings were unheeded, suppressed, ignored, disparaged, denounced, and ridiculed.

Can’t Be Trusted with Social Media

Emerald intentionally made eight separate Facebook posts in which he threatened to injure President Trump [More]

“injure,” hell, he threatened to kill him.

What must he want for Trump voters?

That’s a new category.

Funny, what’s considered a “community standards” violation over there.

Oh, apparently one went too far.
