The betting market says it’s already a done deal. Bigly.

I wonder how many of these guys will vote.

MAGA triumph: Trump ally Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn in bitter Texas GOP primary war [More]

Texas gun owners, you have your work cut out for you, because guess who is leading in the polls:

‘Judgment Day is Coming’

Cornyn Rejects Texas GOP Call To Pull Negative Ads [More]

All you really need to know:

If you think Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, wait ’til this guy loses. Don’t be surprised to see him become a Lincoln Project-style useful idiot talking head for the Democrat propaganda machine along their lines of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

At least we know what their priorities are.

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.

Dealbreaker?

John Cornyn compared January 6 to 9/11, and called attendees “white supremacists, domestic terrorists, insurrectionists, rioters, seditionists, anarchists.” [More]

Hey, John, there’s still time to do a 180 to fawn and curry favor with Trump to whore for his endorsement like you did on your filibuster reversal.

A question comes to mind.

Bissful Ignorance

Establishment Democrats fend off far-left influencer…Kat Abughazaleh… She lost to Daniel Biss, the mayor of Everston, Ill., and a former state lawmaker. [More]

So, someone who is running on a platform to “Repeal the Second Amendment” is considered an “establishment Democrat” and representative of what Everytown/Moms Demand consider “commonsense gun safety laws?”

Told ya.

He’s doing the Safety Dance.

There’s no giving an inch to these lying tyrant wannabes. You’d think NRA’s “A+ rated and endorsed” rated John Cornyn would understand that.

It’s a Big Club and You Ain’t In It

Cornyn Pushed Potentially “Sharia-Compliant” Visa Program His Daughter’s Lobbying Firm Made A Fortune From [More]

And if we’re to believe some of our more popular “gun rights authorities,” me suggesting that importing such people will have an impact on government recognition of our rights, and that ought ot be factored into the Cornyn/Paxton equation, would be”both bigoted and wildly unpopular. Some real loser shit.”

The People Have Spoken

From Texas Scorecard, via email:

How that translates into electability is anybody’s guess, but anyone who says Texas will go solidly and reliably “red” may have a point, if you go back to the original understanding of the term.

And that’s just the way Joe Rogan likes it.

Hold true to past principles or roll over to hold onto the job… hmm… tough choice…

Not-So Hidden Agenda

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) introduced the Second Amendment Restoration Act on November 12, 2025, launching a direct assault on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act signed by President Joe Biden in June 2022. [More]

“Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted“

Methinks this is just a backdoor way to remind gunvoters of Cornyn’s treason and give boost to Ken Paxton’s challenge next year.

A Matter of Degree?

Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats’ gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner’s existing rights. [More]

Is “not largely” restricting rights like being a little bit pregnant?

The current is either on or off. How much current there is does not alter that.

Nor does equivocation. Because once you flip that switch, you allow for turning the dial.

Spoiler Alert?

“There never was, and never will be, a tenable pathway for Hunt,” they said in the memo. “It’s time for the vanity project that could cost Republicans control of the Senate and dilute our resources to end.” [More]

I dunno– Cornyn is a weasel gun owners will stay home over and Paxton comes with exploitable scandals.

Why don’t they drop out and the Republicans throw everything they’ve got behind a guy who actually gets it?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Major Victory’ Is

GOP Lawmakers Might Be Poised to Score a Major Second Amendment Victory [More]

If you call further codifying permits for rights as the national standard, continued state infringements, and salvaging deservedly tarnished reputations a “major victory”…

Not that it will pass. Or not be tied up in courts until the pendulum swings back to Democrats.
