Notes from the Resistance
Gun Owners of America has learned that the FIRST gun bill that House Republicans plan to vote on is… NOT a pro-gun bill. The bill would expand the FBI’s power to punish Americans who attempt to legally purchase a firearm from a commercial gun dealer by reporting them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. [More]
My new rep and one of my senators are enemies, so no use writing them.
It really seems to me a more effective tactic would be an en masse “WTF?” blast to Kevin McCarthy.

So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]
What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
Why having 51 vs. 50 senators matters way more for Democrats than you think – It’s not just one extra vote; it’s a change in Senate procedure that gives Democrats additional power. [More]
And don’t forget to factor in the usual suspects.
That’s the way The Swamp wants it.
MSM: Democrats Can’t Be Election Deniers [More]
Just like blacks can’t be racists.
Oh, and I apologize. It’s only “whites” that shouldn’t be capitalized.

‘Arizona had a successful election,’ Democratic Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs said ahead of certifying her own victory [More]
There is precedent, you know…
Michael Steele says Musk doing Twitter Files while arguing for free speech undermines ‘central tenets’ of … free speech [More]
This is what happens when the Vichycons so desperately want a minority face to hide behind and deflect racism smears by the commies that they pick a damn Democrat-at-heart.
Will everyone get along? Anna Wintour joins the Bidens, Republicans, Democrats and celebs for White House state dinner with Macron – as GOP leader Kevin McCarthy brushes off question about dining with investigation target Hunter [More]
Look at all those names.
Senate candidate Herschel Walker is facing renewed allegations of carpetbagging, ahead of next week’s runoff election in Georgia, for claiming a special property tax break in Texas and making statements about living in the Lone Star State while campaigning to unseat Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga. [More]
Between this, the baby mamas, and the vulnerability to the abortion charges, I’m wondering if the GOP and Trump were just so enamored by celebrity potential and exploitable race that they failed to do any basic vetting at all. Either that or Team Swamp knew and wanted this outcome.
This is ridiculous, and to be just finding out about it now is inexcusable. And pointing out how Democrats do it misses the point. Anyone who doesn’t realize they don’t have to play by the rules is negligently naive, and besides, “our side” is supposed to walk the talk.
If America had properly functioning democratic elections where only legal citizens voted secretly and securely after first establishing their identification, Republicans would have a hundred-seat margin in the House. Instead, centrist dullard McCarthy will “lead” a threadbare majority ripe for rancor and future Democrat flipping. In the Senate, globalist shill Turtle McConnell succeeded in manipulating Alaskan election law to ensure that despicable Democrat Lisa Murkowski — and not Alaskans’ actual Republican nominee — retained her aristocratic sinecure in the U.S. Senate. [More]
There is no one lower than a Quisling. That GOP Inc. exalts theirs tells us much.

Republicans likely will give Biden gun control [More]
I wish I could definitively say they won’t, but with some of the names he cites…
Still, even Chris Murphy says now is not the time. Then again, since when has anyone with a brain believed anything he said?

The 2024 Senate battle has begun and the electoral map does not favor Democrats [More]
And think of all the justice we’ll get then!
Just look how many people fell for it in ’22!
Dolan insisted, “The Second Amendment is not in any way violated by this bill.” [More]
That’s because Dolan is a f***ing liar:
State Senator Matt Dolan, a “moderate Republican,” may as well be a Democrat as far as gun owners are concerned. Described by CNN as a “non-Trump Republican … in the McCain lane, the Romney lane…” Dolan penned an op-ed in support of the state’s proposed STRONG Act, essentially a “red flag” edict that promises due process before gun confiscations without really delivering it, and requires “background checks” on private sales, and adds liability penalties to sellers. And no surprise here, Dolan admits “I understand this bill probably doesn’t go far enough for some and goes too far for others.”

Bobulinski’s reference stems from correspondence involving Hunter Biden where 10% of a Chinese business deal will be “held by H for the Big Guy.” Critics have long contended “H” is Hunter Biden and “The Big Guy” is Joe Biden. [More]
Not only did the Bureau ignore this before the mid-terms, but they also waited until afterward to admit Mar-A-Lago wasn’t everything they cracked it up to be.
UPDATE
And MSNBC is engaging in utter lying gaslighting. The thing is, most of those who watch it know and don’t care.
The Republicans who joined the leftists in the Democrat party included: Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Todd Young of Indiana.

Take fire out of bellies. Brilliant!
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been exchanged on the stock market by our elected officials in 2021 alone. In just equities, Congress bought and sold nearly $290 million throughout the year. In 2021, Congress beat the market! [More]
Did someone say “insider trading”…?
And then, of course, there are other highly lucrative forms of financial compensation that no one seems interested in…

Forgive me if that sounds like a combination of wishful thinking and whistling past the graveyard of history.
Republicans managed to do exactly what I consistently feared. As did their leader. “Stolen elections” notwithstanding, it was their job to make sure that didn’t happen.
And the way things are shaping up for ’24, I see no change in plans.
Got alternative ones?

“Murkowski’s been helping our Democrat campaign, to help Nancy Pelosi.” The Murkowski team “filed a bunch of lawsuits” to make sure the Alaska House of Representatives seat “stayed Democrat,” Tshibaka said. “So we’re anticipating a whole bunch of shenanigans in these next couple months between now and January, to try and hold on to the Murkowski monarchy. Our race is not over.” [More]
