Notes from the Resistance
Acton refuses to engage with Ramaswamy as Ohio debates decline… Libertarian Don Kissick and running mate James Mills said they feel left out of the conversation. [More]
Yeah, well, we see what happens when she argues…
As for the “clear lawful path to citizenship” freaks, I’ll debate you .
Answer this clearly, without changing the subject and equivocating.
Let’s not go celebrating just yet:
How is that legal, when Ohio, where open, concealed and permitless carry are legal, has state preemption for firearms laws, previous Attorney General Dave Yost confirmed political subdivisions must allow it?
Let’s ask the new guy and find out.

Funny… when he talks about what makes us different from other countries and the legacy bequeathed by the Founding Fathers, it sounds a lot like he’s lauding those “Heritage Americans” he disparaged as “loony”…
Received via email:
He wants to know and he still hasn’t gotten back to me on this…?
I’d like to know before I show up to promote the keystone right only to be told I can’t be armed if I need to go inside any buildings… and for the “reformed” NRA with pledges of a new transparency, it looks like the same old avoidance/ignoring of unwanted questions persists.
Ohio’s Unfinished Suppressor Reform Leaves a State-Law Trap for Gun Owners [More]
Fresh on the heels of killing the Freedom to Carry Act. And not correcting state and county fair citizen disarmament edicts.
And they wonder why it looks like Sherrod Brown is polling ahead of 2A squish Jon Husted and Vivek isn’t running over Amy Acton.
“Hudson Antifa” is not an anomaly. The state is in danger of going blue– I think it will. And clueless Vichycons are doing nothing to put fire in gun owner bellies.
Ohio Gun Owners names names. And while it’s easy for some to dismiss them based hostility against the Dorr brothers, resist ad hominem dismissal for a moment and see for yourself if A ratings and endorsements are deserved.
Text received this morning:
“Yes. Apologize for saying the idea of heritage Americans is loony, and stop trying to bring in foreign nationals,” I replied.
I’d like to say I can’t believe Ohioans have drifted left enough to vote for Amy Acton, but I believe they have and won’t be surprised if the state goes blue.

Must be some o’ them loony Heritage Americans…
Who’s surprised to see Amy Acton tied with him? Who will be surprised to see a confluence of Hudson Antifa-types, gutless Republicans, and lazy gun owners turn Ohio blue?
Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s state is home to an estimated 30,000 Haitian TPS holders. He told CBS earlier this week that the Haitians shouldn’t be sent back to their country of origin. [More]

Democratic unity, Republican crossovers shape Ohio Senate race [More]
It seems like the whole damn state’s going Hudson Antifa, and it’s tough to find a Republican who’s not an uninspiring squish.

Really makes me wanna go out there and pay “my fair share” in taxes…
Ohio Republicans who run the state have been pretty much worthless on a lot of stuff, with Kasich and Dewine being representative of what rises to the top, and Casey Putsch being representative of what they won’t let anywhere near the corridors of power.

If there is a message in my filing both a Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition with the Supreme Court of Ohio yesterday, to prevent Secretary of State Frank LaRose from certifying the candidacy of his endorsed candidate until he’s verified his parents’ immigration status at his birth on August 9, 1985, it is that Republican so-called “leaders” have reached the limits of our tolerance… LaRose must submit a DHS Form G-845 to verify the citizenship status of every candidate on the ballot. 8 U.S.C. 1373 authorizes him to ask. [More]
Ramaswamy’s not a legal citizen? Plus Eric Brewer has concerns with the legal citizenship status of Musk, Rubio, Patel, and Oz…
Now that he says he’s filed, will an investigation be forced? There’s nothing in the news about this, just his Facebook post. It’s probably too early to fantasize about Casey Putsch being declared winner of the primary by Ramaswamy’s disqualification…
And as much as I’d like to see if there’s any there there, I gotta ask: Is he onto something big that’s being suppressed by the powers that be, or just an obsessed gadfly with issues?
Casey Putsch lost to Vivek Ramaswamy. [More]
I figured he would, but just because you’re outnumbered doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
Barring unforeseen upheaval, I give Ohio 10 years to go solid blue. And our “gun rights leaders” will have played a big part in that.
And talk about a relevant UPDATE
Secretary of State Frank LaRose is prohibited by Article 15, Section 4 of the Constitution of Ohio from certifying Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy’s results in the Ohio Republican Party nomination for Governor of the state until he confirms he is a Citizen of the United States. [More]
I guess the idea of “Heritage Americans” doesn’t seem so “loony” to him about now. Wouldn’t this be a hoot if Casey won by default? Until Swamp Vichycons started helping Amy Acton by sabotaging him because he ain’t in their Big Club…
UPDATE
Frank won’t know until the promised lawsuit:
Based on reports from the May 2026 Ohio primary, there is no evidence that Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose refused to verify Vivek Ramaswamy’s win or questioned his legal citizenship.
Vivek: “The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up”; Casey Putsch is the real deal on guns; and in re Democrat/media/Vichycon Alliance allegations of racism… [More]
The post I’m replying to merits your attention, particularly if you’re an Ohio gun owner only influenced so far by Donald Trump, NRA, and Buckeye Firearms.
Governor DeWine Orders Flags Lowered in Honor of Former Ohio House of Representatives Member William ‘Bill’ Patmon [More]
The Democrat who opposed “stand your ground” and instead demanded to impose “lock up your safety”…? And said “Everything that looks like a gun and is not should not be on our streets”…?
I think I’ll see if I can raise mine up a notch.
There are no “friends across the aisle.”
And with friends like DeWine…
Ohio governor candidate’s event canceled over ‘pro-Nazi’ remarks [More]
That’s the narrative the media is going to run with all the way up to the primary. I can understand the restaurant backing out– most operate on such slim profit margins ait probably doesn’t take much to scare them. Nonetheless, they said a lot more than they had to trying to distance themselves.
I first ran across it in an April 3 hit piece in The Toldeo Blade (a failing rag that used to employ Homer Simpson’s dumber brother, a former ambassador calling for cordoned gun confiscation sweeps and imprisonment of defiers).
No surprise they did not even acknowledge my letter to the editor:
You don’t hate the DSM enough. Communist f_n’ bedwetters, all.
I’m not suprised that BFA ignored Vivek putting down Heritage Americans, either.
BFA-PAC endorses Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio governor [More]
I guess they think the idea of Heritage Ohioans is loony.

Samuel Ronan, a former Democratic state and national candidate, attempted to run as a Republican in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District against GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Carey. To do so, he signed a declaration of candidacy — under penalty of election falsification — swearing he was a member of the Republican Party. [More]

Vivek says ““The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up.”
Heather Hill endorsed Kasich. (Then again, so did PVF.)
And that they don’t have Amy as an “F” makes me wonder just how lazy these PVF “researchers” are. Then again, I learned a long time ago how “reliable” their grades are.
If you’re a 2A voter, Casey’s the real deal.
