Notes from the Resistance
Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]
In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?
Pretty good summation.
I could offer some “Yeah, buts…” to some of the “pro-gun” points, but overall fall back on two contentions I constantly make:
The administration, left on its own, is bipolar, and the Task Force and gun voters would benefit greatly from independent subject matter expert advisors.
Three contentions, actually: Those of us pointing out the disconnects are motivated by not wanting to see Trump blow it, which will allow the communi… Democrats to take over, and anyone calling for our heads for that is wearing their red MAGA cap too tight.
NOW – Trump says he is adjusting his mass deportations policy to only go into cities if the mayors or governors “ask” and “say please,” adding, “I don’t want to go and force ourselves into a city, even if their numbers are terrible.” [More]
And:
NOW – Reporter: “Is your mission now to deport everyone who came in illegally?”
Trump: “We are totally focused on criminals, really bad criminals. Now you could say people that came in illegally are criminals, but I’m talking about murderers from different countries.” [More]
Any word on when we can expect those band uniforms…?
“You gotta win the midterms ’cause, if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me,” [More]
You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.
Trump endorses Bruce Blakeman in New York governor’s race after Rep. Stefanik’s exit [More]
I somehow missed the whole drama, including her leaving after he sat on his hands.
So who is this “Republican conservative” with the Don’s seal of approval?
When it comes to gun control, he’s pretty much in lock step with Hochul [More]
And he’s a big proponent of “gun-free zones.”
Meanwhile, he wants to torpedo Thomas Massie.

They say that like it’s a bad thing…
Greene recounted a tense exchange with Trump after she suggested inviting the victims to the Oval Office, during which he threatened, “My friends will get hurt.” That confrontation marked the final straw in their relationship, cementing her decision to step away from Congress after two terms. [More]
IF he actually said that. And if that was the final straw.
I’m no Trump über alles defender, especially over this, but I need more than leftist media exploiting MTG, who either is unaware they’re using her to destroy Republican midterm chances, or more likely, knows full well she’s being destructive but stands to personally gain from all the noise.
As seen in reader comment at Fox News:
You can rest assured if Trump was involved, even in the least way these files would have been released during the 4 years that Biden had them
That’s a narrative defenders of the indefensible are using, and it’s bull$#!+. Files weren’t released under Biden because it’s a Mutually Assured Destruction pact where top Democrats — and donors/cronies both parties are beholden to — would also be exposed.
The Democrats screaming loudest for full release are the new radicals out to replace the Old Guard, who stand to benefit by unseating tenured rivals.
This reminds me of nothing so much as this.
Democrats and the media smell blood and they’re going for it. As far as the mid-terms go:
GOP Candidate Amy Fennell Wanted to Keep ‘Treasonous Felon’ Trump Out of White House – A series of recent social media posts from Fennell show the Republican candidate blasting Trump while supporting Kamala Harris. [More]
Nope, nothing about RKBA…
Not surprising if she wanted to help enable Kamala to do this…

Sylvester Stallone, George Strait and Kelsey Grammar were just a few of the Hollywood heavyweights… [More]
Sylvester Stallone, George Strait and the “real reporters” misspelled Kelsey GrammErs name…
Has it come down to who has the most celebrities?
Matthew Hoover has been released from a federal prison in Wisconsin after serving nearly three years of a five-year sentence for trafficking machine guns. He is now headed to a halfway house to serve out the remainder of his conviction. [More]
Google AI says this about the snitch:
Where the hell is Harmeet Dhillon? Task Force exclusivity strikes again in another bout of bipolarity.
Or is it? Everybody realizes what the “law-abiding citizens” qualifier allows, right? Hey, if you don’t like it, vote out Blue State Democrats! Until then, obey.
Meanwhile, if Trump can pardon Henry Cuellar:
Why does Hoover have to remain hostage another two years?
Richard Gere says Dalai Lama’s words couldn’t change Trump: ‘What he’s done is astonishing’ – The ‘Pretty Woman’ actor has previously claimed that President Trump almost ‘destroyed’ the country [More]
So… Trump wouldn’t suck his tongue?
Doesn’t Gere have a gerbil to pull out?
Yeah, I know, Snopes says that’s false.
Singer Elton John said in an interview last week that if President Donald Trump managed to end AIDS, he would be “one of the greatest presidents” of all time. [More]
Talk about something that’s basically 100% preventable. To engage in unchecked promiscuity is a choice.
I don’t want any politician with the power to control the one thing that can “end” it, individual behavior. Or to make me pay for self-destructive choices after the fact with even more tax enslavement.
And that includes for multimillionaire pedos sexualizing cub scouts to encourage putting more children at risk:
And if Trump does, will they turn on him?

Since President Donald J. Trump signed the “Protecting Second Amendment Rights” executive order in February, his Department of Justice has done exactly the opposite—relentlessly defending the federal government’s unconstitutional gun control regime. Instead of using the Justice Department’s vast power to secure Americans’ right to keep and bear arms, the Trump DOJ has used it to fight against the People—even taking extreme positions in court to resist injunctions that block the government’s enforcement of gun laws that federal judges have already found unconstitutional.

Jeez, I talk like that and get readers telling the magazine if they don’t fire me they’re going to cancel their subscription…
What a refreshing change from all the groups that suck up to the guy afraid that if they get on his wrong side he’s going to call them names.
I wonder how Mark W. Smith is gonna spin this.
