House Defeats Resolution Holding Garland In Contempt – Here are the Four GOPers Who Voted NO [More]
I’ve always known Dave Joyce to be a lump, and I don’t know much about Duarte and Turner (except the latter voted to fund Joe Biden’s “Office of Gun Violence Prevention”), but McClintock cited some reasons that gave me pause on impeachment of Mayorkas.
I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with him– I’ve been impressed with him for a long time.

“And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin” [More]
Doesn’t matter.
American women will burn the house down to keep the Dotard-in-Chief OR get them their first woman president and abortion.
Turn your nose up at polls if you like– this is no time for false confidence, especially as the RNC douses fire from bellies and makes the TINVOWOOTers case for them.
Gun owners need to send a loud message to the RNC. [More]
I’ve talked about this shift in public priorities here, here, and tangentially here, and plan on digging into it over the weekend.
In the mean time, send that message.

I see some “A’s” I disagree with (for instance, Bernie Moreno’s a self-serving phony making the right noises for the votes), but this isn’t a primary and we’ve got to go with what we’ve got.
“The Washington Republicans … have, for a generation, failed this republic” by not prioritizing American interests and by conceding issues to the Left, Roberts told a crowd of several hundred at the Capital Hilton hotel. “Their messages, their policies, their leadership have hurt this nation.” [More]
All too true.
But they couldn’t have done it without plenty of citizenship malpractice, disengagement, and apathy by un/misinformed constituents.

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, is joined by GOP Candidate Michael Baumgartner, a former State Senator now running to be the Representative to the US House in the 5th Congressional District. Michael is part of a very crowded field of both Repubicans and Democrats vying for this open seat. Today we ask Michael lots of questions, but most imprtantly, what sets him apart from the other candidates for this race. So learn more today so you can arm yourself with education [Watch]
The district is winnable for Republicans, so this isn’t a waste of time.
Know the race, the candidates, and where they stand on the issues. Anybody got any info on the other Republicans? If I can find time I’ll look, but just putting their names into a search engine and adding “+ gun” is a good starting point.

State Rep. Neil Friske arrested in Lansing after police respond to reports of man with gun … “We do not have any details, besides what the media sourced, oddly before anyone of us knew anything.” [More]
Records the Free Press obtained Friday through the online Michigan State Police criminal background service, the Internet Criminal History Access Tool, show police requested felony charges of sexual assault, assault, and a weapons-related offense…
I’m gonna have to check that out.
Bear in mind he has not been arraigned at this writing and what charges will actually be brought against him are as yet unknown. Still, it’s a reminder of an obligation each of us who publicly advocate for the right to arms have to keep our noses clean.

House Republicans request all documents previously turned over to Jan. 6 Committee [More]
Not “demand”? Not “subpoena”?

In an interview on Capitol Hill with Fox News Digital, Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., said that instead of drafting new restrictions, people would be better off if all the laws already in place were enforced. “[A] little birdie told me that there’s over 20,000 gun laws in America today. So here’s a novel idea: let’s just enforce those,” he said. [More]
If this is the understanding from our “leaders” (and some of the less qualified “gunfluencers”), no wonder the Democrats have been so successful.
HERE’s an even more novel idea: Shall not be infringed.

Exclusive: One in 10 Republicans less likely to vote for Trump after guilty verdict… [More]
It’s worse than summer soldiers and sunshine patriots.
They will own their portion of the results.
As far as I’m concerned, they already do.
If this doesn’t change, correction, if we don’t change that, gun owners will be telling two supposedly opposite groups they can get away with more betrayals and infringements. [More]
Establishment Republicans and Prohibitionist Democrats just got a pretty good snapshot of gun owner willingness to walk the talk.

Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas narrowly won his primary Tuesday against a gun-rights activist who pushed the border congressman into a bruising runoff that threatened to unseat a U.S. House incumbent. [More]

Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan is warning Republicans in Washington, D.C., that he won’t be a reliable vote if Maryland chooses to send him to the Capitol. In a new TV ad aired Tuesday, the former Maryland governor stressed his bipartisan bona fides. “In the Senate, Republicans can’t count on my vote. [More]
Then what the hell good is he?
Let’s cut to the chase: The DOJ/FBI response to the events of January 6, 2021, represents the single greatest mass injustice against American citizens since Japanese internment. [More]
Only cowardly Vichycons would run and hide from this.
I guess we’ll see how many there are.
Or would it be faster to see who isn’t?
