Attention-Getting

Tate Adamiak has been in prison longer under President Trump than under Biden [More]

In fairness, how many of the thousands I have shared Lee’s work with here and on social media have added their voices to those asking for a pardon? The only comment I got to this was an excuse for not helping.

If a wheel squeaks and no one hears it does it make a difference?

Yet another reason why I’ve been calling for Task Force consulting participation. Why I appear to be the only one is another story.

Today’s Five-Minute Activism

I figure that’s how long it will take to read all this and then seconds to do what it asks.

While he appreciates all the support his son’s case has drawn—there are hundreds of videos and stories chronicled on his “Freedom for Tate” website—Tate remains is prison. To date, there has been no formal move to secure his release—despite the kind words of more than a few elected officials. [More]

Look at what just happened with NFA as a result of massive numbers of gun owners making noise that could not be ignored with midterms coming up.

Advocacy media played a huge part in that.

As just a cursory look shows us:

If a million gun owners simply reposted a “tweet” (or whatever the hell you call them these days) saying “FREEDOM FOR TATE” that shared this link and copied Todd Blanche, Harmeet Dhillon and Donald Trump, I guarantee you it would get their attention.

Any bets on the chances?

Today’s Five-Minute Activism

TELL THE WHITE HOUSE: DON’T LET DOJ APPEAL OUR WIN! [More]

I was gonna say it took me less than five minutes to read the appeal, complete the petition, and post this announcement, but I can’t get the damn “Contact the White House Here!” link to work.

If you have better success, educate me in “Comments.”

Biting the Hands That Fed Him

But…but…but:

Trump and his family have donated thousands to the man who’s now the most powerful Democrat in Washington

Pardon Me?

The Office of the Pardon Attorney, part of the U.S. Department of Justice, announced Tuesday that President Donald Trump had denied hundreds of pardon requests this week. Patrick “Tate” Adamiak was not among the denials. [More]

Not that they want to tell us what standardized and reproducible criteria they use…

If At First You Don’t Succeed…?

President Trump Petitioning SCOTUS To Rehear Birthright Citizenship Case [More]

With nothing different? But “U.S. Rep. Brian Babin (R–Woodville) introduced a bill in December 2025 to clarify the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment”…?

Prognosis 0% chance of being enacted

It gets old.

One Thing’s for Certain

Point:

Tucker Carlson Claims ‘Terrified’ Dan Bongino Told Him Trump Shut Down Butler Assassination Investigation Himself

Counterpoint:

“More receipts incoming on my show today that the nepo baby is lying again,” he wrote on X. “He’s like Teddy Ruxpin, you put a coin in his back and he tells you a story.”

There’s no misunderstanding or middle ground here. Someone is lying through their teeth. As both are voices of significant political influence, and as this story goes to the heart of everything our system is supposed to stand for, there is no excuse for not exposing and forever discrediting the guilty party(ies).

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.
