Let Them Lose

Oregon’s House Republicans pulled a “bait and switch” and extorted money from their members with a false promise of funding a lawsuit against the bill they helped pass. Since then they have pretended it never happened and just don’t want to talk about it. [More]

What Vichycons fail to understand is that those of us who will not disarm don’t need them, they need us. If they lose, a critical mass (say 3%?) still will not disarm and the game will move to a different level.

Trump Assassination Attempt Brings New Urgency for RNC to Affirm Support for 2nd Amendment

Giving Trump and the Republicans all the ammo they need to defeat gun grabber arguments is well within the skill set of the newly formed Gun Owners for Trump coalition… [More]

We’ve got to do more than hope his resolve is strengthened. There are people who can help him not just repel attacks on our rights, but promote and advance them with the independents both sides are competing for — if he will let them.

The Sport of Whores

All the times Trump’s VP pick JD Vance has attacked him [More]

I went through his pros and cons here and ended on a note of concern:

Firearms News made three attempts to ask Vance if he would be willing to answer some detailed questions about [being a Never ] and about the legislative agenda gun owners should expect to see him pursue. He has chosen not to respond.

You could ask “Who am I?” and you’d be right, but a national magazine reaching a core voting demographic should not be so easy to dismiss. I also worry about who will be picked to replace him, especially since the GOP candidate who will be opposing Ohio’s Democrat communist gun-grabbing senator Sherrod Brown is another “reformed” Never Trumper who laughed at gun owners and asked:

“What kind of gun do you need to have a hundred bullets in it?” Moreno asked. “And are you going to eat a deer that has a hundred bullets in it? Can’t there be some common sense that says that one [gun] is probably out, right, without infringing on someone’s rights? Can’t we have universal background checks?”

If Vance is elected, his replacement will be picked by the bipolar Gov. Mike DeWine.

From the Jaws of Victory

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.

Accept This Truth: Democrats Would Vote for a Cabbage

“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.

BFA Ohio Voter Guide

BFA PAC Announces Grades and Endorsements for Nov. 5, 2024, General Election [More]

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.

I Got Them Stupid Party Blues

“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.

Attn: Washington Gun Owners

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.

TPD renews gunshot detection system as NYC audit casts doubt on ShotSpotter accuracy [More]

Despite the fact that “in more than 80 percent of its activations, no one called 911.”

What else would we expect from a Bloomberg city, which makes this all the more difficult to explain…

Not a Democrat This Time

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]

This looks like how:

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.

“Americans don’t understand just how far down the road to a dystopic, right-wing theocracy we are right now…” [More]

Says the subversive bent on ushering in a dystopic Marxist tyranny…

Who else remembers Zager & Evans…?

How about “Mr. Smith Goes to Stalingrad“?
