With Republicans Like These

Trump hails Florida Dem’s decision to ditch party, join GOP [More]

I’m trying to figure out how including this cow who has pledged to “stand up to the NRA and fight for a ban on military style assault rifles and the high capacity ammunition that make them so lethal” will help…

Anybody else getting a Professor Harold Hill of politics vibe…?

Trump and Musk Immigration Stance Ignores MAGA Pledges and U.S. Education Failures

The whole point of the last election was to turn all that around. [More]

A sinking ship doesn’t need to take on more water, especially if it means excusing Democrats helping send it to the bottom.

AZ Man Gives Feds Low-Hanging Fruit Gift Basket for Christmas

…Tamayo-Torres made postings on a social media platform threating to harm the President-elect of the United States, including that he was going to kill the President-elect and do violence to his family. [More]

And ATF/DOJ get to take credit for all his work!

Just look at those headlines!

A Plan Comes Together

Migrants traversing Darien Gap plummet 40% as Panama cracks down on major route [More]

Think of the rhetoric as a way to get them to turn the flow off at the source. That and get a better deal on transit.

Carter was such a boob.

And all that said, Trump needs to tread gingerly. There is a significant American expatriate community in Panama, and stirring up hatred among those they’re immersed in could backfire bigly.

Raid on Innocent Family Shows ATF Tyranny Must Be a Priority for Trump

This is where citizens could really use some of those pledges of Second Amendment protection we heard along the campaign trail from Donald Trump, and from every Republican in Congress who won their seat because of gun owner support. [More]

The new administration, through orders to subordinates, and the Republican-controlled Congress, with the power to subpoena and investigate, could do much to stop citizen abuse — if they want to.

ATF Director Under Trump Will Still Be Directing Unconstitutional Agency

The new guy needs to understand all this and have the AG and the president‘s ear to make sure they do, and to restrain their past-demonstrated impulses to ignore the words “shall not be infringed.” [More]

My latest Firearms News article assesses the best we can make out of a no-win scenario.

Promises, Promises

Homan and Trump Aim to End ‘Anchor Baby’ Citizenship [More]

Just going forward? Millions are already here and coming of voting age. Since there’s no precedent to make it retroactive and there’s a Constitutional proscription against are ex post facto laws, I question if this is something they can just do by decree without years of legal challenges.

$h!+ Hits the Fani

An appeals court in Georgia has tossed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis off of her own case, a series of wild organized crime claims against President Trump based largely on his own expressions of his dissatisfaction with the process and results of the 2020 presidential election [More]

I can’t wait to see her, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Liz Cheney, and more get what’s coming to them.

Tears of a Clown

Justin Trudeau ‘is on brink of resigning’ as his liberal government crumbles [More]

He’s humiliating himself, Chickenhawk Bolton. As are you, if you weren’t too invested in sending others to war to realize it.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Canadian per Capita Euthanasia Deaths Now Beat U.S. Gun Deaths [More]

Don’t let the propaganda saying otherwise sway you. Over-regulation is a public health problem, especially with the stresses making earning a living or keeping a business open harder. I suspect if you did a study, you’d find the same results for shortened lifespans as Dr. Lott found about homicides, and that makes it look like it applies to the entire population.

We’re the Only Ones Off Target Enough

But one of the most disturbing details from the report is certainly that the agent who discovered Routh fired six rounds from a distance of five feet and failed to hit the target even once. How is that even possible? I’m not a trained agent, and I’m sure I could have hit that target at least once with that many shots at such close range. This is a whole new level of incompetence that simply cannot be comprehended. [More]

Every person I’ve taken shooting for the first time has done better than that.

How did he pass requisite pistol training standards, and for that matter, what are they? Somebody ought to be pulling his records and — not to kneejerk cast unfounded aspersions — also asking if he had reasons not to hit the target.

A Step in the Right Direction

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday reversed course and selected David Warrington as his top White House lawyer… [More]

He’s Chairman of the Board for the National Foundation for Gun Rights.

Let’s hope he’s the needed counterweight to Pam Bondi’s inclination to defend infringements.

Oh, We Got Trouble

On deporting families with mixed immigration status (such as the parents being in the U.S. illegally, while their kids are citizens): “I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.” [More]

And since there’s no legal way to deport a citizen, that means scratch this one off the list.

Wants Dreamers to be able to stay…

Because nothing says American self-interest like officially normalizing leftist foreign nationals.

As for “criminals out first,” last I checked a different branch of government will be adjudicating on due process and appeals…

Me, I’m just wondering when the band uniforms arrive.

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that “single issue”… right, Chuck?

A Crisis of Faith

Trump Has ‘Lost Faith’ in N.R.A., Says Gun Group Official – In a new letter, an N.R.A. vice president said the troubled group needed to rebuild trust with Donald J. Trump and his inner circle. [More]

While I agree with him on William Brewer, there’s a saying about people in glass houses.

And speaking of rebuilding trust…

Are his expectations for Gun Owners for Trump that they will be a valued sounding board and advisory group to keep him from going off half-cocked and saying/doing more stupid sh!+, or will he expect to just summon a few to publicly kiss his ring once in a while and then brag about their access to the president?

Hanging Chad

JUST IN: Woke Gun-Grabbing ‘Tyrant’ Chad Chronister, Who Also Arrested a Pastor During COVID, Withdraws As Trump’s DEA Pick Following Conservative Backlash [More]

I was going to write another Firearms News article along similar lines and now don’t have to. The thing is, I don’t do it because I want to alienate MAGA über alles hardliners, and no, of course I wouldn’t rather have Kamala (what a stupid and obnoxious objection), but because stuff needs to be said and too many with louder voices than mine on “our side” are quick to make happy talk excuses.

Yet another reason why Gun Owners for Trump needs to be more than just an election prop and actually have his ear as an advisory group before he commits to more stupid $h!+…

Sowing the Wind

Shouldn’t Trump Voters Be Viewed as Traitors? The magazine’s Ethicist columnist on whether voters should be held accountable for their chosen candidate’s behavior. [More]

Kwame Anthony Appiah of The Newsraper of Record evidently wants Republicans tried and either imprisoned or executed as the tribunals see fit.

If we’re talking accountability, Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement seem a pretty good place to start.
