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…

We’re the Only Ones Oppositional Enough

Gov. Gordon didn’t mince words when discussing the Second Amendment Protection Act. He called it an “embarrassment,” noting all 23 sheriffs in Wyoming oppose it. The bill currently sits on the governor’s desk. He vetoed a similar bill last year. [More]

Here ’tis.

So, “law and order Republicans” can be every bit the impediment Marxist Democrats can be…? Who knew?

And yeah, I understand the name “Dorr” evokes certain … expectations.

Tales of the Stupid Party

DataRepublican PERFECTLY Breaks Down Why Republicans Are Slow-Walking the SAVE Act in MUST-Read Thread [More]

Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…

And, of course, when the blow the midterms, the narrative will be it’s because of the MAGA agenda.

As Bill Clinton mentor Carroll Quigley reminds us:

“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy”

That’s the plan and they’re sticking to it.

Date with Destiny

Destiny Wells announces congressional run in Indiana’s 7th district [More]

All you need to know:

That and the Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association has fewer Facebook followers than I do (and my limited social media presence is tepid at best), and nothing about her on its website.

I trust no Hoosier gun owners will be surprised when she carries out her threat...

Maybe they think the Republicans will keep them safe…

Hey, I remember this story…

Enemy Strength

Republican women are 14% more likely to own guns than Democrat men. [More]

That may not be a fair metric since one party knows how to define genders. Still, it’s telling.

And it also illustrates why new gun owners are nothing to crow about.

In terms of total numbers, I wouldn’t be starting any civil wars if I were that outgunned…

With ‘Republicans’ Like These…

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.

My friends, ya got trouble.

The Shape of Things to Come?

Trump warns Republicans they have to win midterms or he’ll ‘get impeached’ [More]

How much responsibility for that will fall on the shoulders of those dousing fire from gunvoter bellies with equivocation, fecklessness, and outright betrayal?

How much of that will fall on him?

The Thinning Margin

House GOP Rep Doug LaMalfa dead at 65 – House Republicans’ majority is now 218 to 213 [More]

He evidently was good on guns.

As I understand it, Newsom will now need to announce a special election. What I don’t know is what effect redistricting will have and what any likely GOP contender is prepared to do for RKBA.

With Republicans Like These…

The sole Republican candidate running for North Carolina’s 22nd state Senate district is turning heads after donning a Niqab-style face veil in her candidate photo and voting for Democrats in past elections despite her new GOP candidacy. [More]

I haven’t been able to find a campaign website or social media account to nail down her positions.

Ah well, Republicans always have been the Big (Camel’s Nose Under the) Tent Party…

And with NC GOP “leadership,” what difference does it make?

True Colors

“The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up,” he said. [More]

Doubling down, are we?

Not if it’s qualified as being about culturalism. Then it becomes existentially essential.

I’m starting to like this Casey guy more and more.

A ‘Proven Conservative’

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…

Elephants Don’t Bray. Jackasses Do.

President warns state Sen Rodric Bray risks losing two potential GOP House seats by blocking congressional map [More]

You’d think someone who brags about an A+ NRA rating wouldn’t have voted against a “constitutional carry” bill.

Then again, why would an unachievable database of prohibited persons poison pill have been inserted, if not to kill the bill? Is that even a correct interpretation? And since it’s not in the law that eventually passed, what happened?
