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.

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:
