3D Bump Chess?

Very important to understand that strategic decision by Donald Trump and the NRA to basically sign off if you will on doing a bump stock ban through executive order, I didn’t like it, I was not happy about it, but I understood the strategy sometimes one has to lose battles to win the war, that is how the real world works… [Watch]

Really? A plan comes together? That’s what you’re going with?

So, I guess, “Take the guns first, due process later” was another genius move they just couldn’t tell us about?

And envisioning Inspector Clouseau pretending his screwup was intentional to save face is just me not being smart enough to understand what the grownups are doing?

Soft Pedaling

He most strikingly softened his language about immigration… Mr. Trump said he thought it was “wrong” that people who made sacrifices to come to America and attend top U.S. schools should have to go home to their countries, one of the people said. Another person who was in the room recalled that Mr. Trump made the point that the high-skilled immigrants who received an American education could either be successful in the U.S. or in their home countries. He said that the best and the brightest were needed to help America, this person said. [More]

Maybe he can answer the challenge.

So what else is he going to go soft on?

Speaking of Real $h!+ Reporting

‘Total lie’: Trump campaign, GOP lawmakers blast report claiming he called Milwaukee a ‘horrible city’ – Multiple Republicans in the room said the former president was taken out of context [More]

I wonder how many of these people will bother to inform everyone they’ve misled.

Still… the original assumption had a point…

Laying the Minefield

George Stephanopoulos recently appeared on CNN with host Abby Phillip and advised the network on going after Donald Trump in the first debate. This is the political director of ABC News advising another media outlet on how to take down a candidate. That is not the role of people in media. [More]

“Journalistic ethics” — Good one!

Gun Owners’ Efforts with Trump Must Not End with White House Win

If we do somehow manage to help him gain a second term in the White House, we’re going to need to be able to influence what he says and does on guns. And we won’t be prepared to do that if we gloss over the seriousness of his failures. [More]

We need his ear so we can try to influence him before he starts to stray.

Save It for the Judge

Trump classified docs judge expands hearing to consider ‘unlawful’ appointment of special counsel Jack Smith – Judge Aileen Cannon will allow amici to make arguments [More]

You’d better believe she’s a target and the Democrats are furiously digging for something … anything to destroy her with.

Catty CNN is planting the “incompetence” seed.

I’ll take Mark W. Smith’s read on this over Tierney Sneed’s and Hannah Rabinowitz’s, any day…

Playing the Trump Card

SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]

Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.

We talked about Trump being a “prohibited person” here and here, and I’ve got a Firearms News piece scheduled to come out today that launches from that point, but I gotta confess, there’s a part of me that feels like rubbing “take the guns first, due process later” in his face.

Fort Sumter 2.0?

Maher: If Trump Goes To Jail There Will Be A Racial Civil War [More]

Seeing what they call an “insurrection,” I’m wondering how they’ll paint unarmed rowdy flag-wavers as “rebels.”

Lord knows, with all the in-your-face provocations, if gun owners were inclined to mass armed retaliation they’d have not only seen it by now, but stupid ****s like Maher would be broadcasting from Canada.

Guilty as Charged

Reuters Claims Trump Supporters Want ‘Riots And Violent Retribution’ Following Trump Verdict [More]

Call Roto-Reuters, that’s the name…

In fairness, we wouldn’t be much of a “greatest threat” if we didn’t want to see an escalation of all that “mostly peaceful” street action. By Hamas-supporting leftists at the Democrat convention…

I’ve already bought the popcorn.
