Throw the Bums Out

Three Democratic lawmakers who took part in protests on the House floor of the Tennessee statehouse will face expulsion later this week. Earlier Monday, the three lawmakers were removed from their committee assignments and had their badges to the capitol deactivated. [More]

Republicans should have had the guts to do that here.

Report Says NRA ‘A+’ Rated McCarthy Raising Funds for Giffords-Endorsed Fitzpatrick

That makes it fair to ask why Kevin McCarthy, the beneficiary of an A+ rating and endorsement from the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund, is reportedly going out of his way to raise major bucks for someone who is undermining everything about the Second Amendment we’re told he believes in. [More]

At the very least, we ought to find out if the reports are true.

Out of Joint

The Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Pat Fallon (R-Texas) and the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) will hold a joint hearing examining the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) actions aimed at curtailing the ability of lawful gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Meet the Candidates!

Sturtevant? The guy with the political courage and devotion to principle to conclude that being endorsed by as tepid a group as NRA was just too much for him to be associated with, so he colluded with them to have it taken down? Yeah, that’s a representative I want fighting the fight for me!

As for all of them, I wonder if anyone will ask them some unequivocal questions and not let them weasel out of things:

  • What did the Founders mean by “A well regulated militia”?
  • What did the Founder mean by “being necessary to the security of a free State”?
  • What did the Founders mean by “the right of the people to keep and bear arms”?
  • What did the Founders mean by “shall not be infringed”?
  • How can past Supreme Court opinion specifying protected arms as those being “in common use at the time” not apply to the types of firearms needed for militia service?

I’d also add a tangentially-related question, one not directly part of the “single issue,” but one that nonetheless is being used to undermine it:

  • What Constitutional basis is there to “secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” by exercising protective measures over who may enter the country and who may become a citizen?

Here are the questions VCDL asks different-level candidates.

Just Like the Founders Intended

U.S.D.C. Judge Strikes Down Missouri’s ‘Second Amendment Preservation Act’ as Unconstitutional [More]

And just look at all those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” who voted to confirm him!

Funny: Nothing about Democrat cities and states refusing to cooperate with ICE…

Swamp Things

Senate Republicans Cave To Dem Propaganda About J6 Tapes [More]

And all the usual “leadership” suspects:

You gotta wonder, does someone have Dolly pix or are they just that corrupt? Or both?

They’re so entrenched they are bound and determined to side with the Democrats to sabotage “the Deplorables” and keep their places at the trough.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

If it’s any consolation, Whoopi Goldberg agrees with them.
