Return of Swamp Thune

John Thune Charts New Path in Senate: ‘The Time Has Come to Begin Executing’ Trump’s Mandate [More]

Says the guy who who joined John Cornyn and other Vichycons in supporting Harry Reid by breaking the Ted Cruz/Mike Lee Filibuster of the Anti-gun ObamaCare Law, and in voting to confirm anti-gun Merrick Garland as Attorney General.

The Bottom Line

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]

I have a bad feeling about this:

Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”

We know that doesn’t work.

Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

Inexcusable

DeSantis Lashes Out at No-Show Republican Senators After Far-Left Judge Confirmation – Rubio and Vance were two of the five absent senators. You’re not in the Trump administration yet. Get to the chamber and do your job. [More]

Call it what is is: dereliction of duty.

What’s worse is they know what the plan is, and they gave this one up without a fight.

And this excuse is just bull$h!+.

But wait– there’s more.

Survey SAYS…

Last week, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn lost his bid to be the chamber’s majority leader. The next day, he announced his intention to seek reelection to the Senate in 2026. We asked readers if they would support him if the Texas GOP primary election were held today. Here is a sampling of the comments we received from our readers after they voted in the survey. [More]

By all accounts he should be finished. If he’s not, it’s on Texas Republican voters.

On the Short List

Attorney Mehek Cooke, a Republican attorney who served as a political and legal surrogate for Trump in 2024, is under consideration to be chosen to fill Vance’s seat… [More]

Knowing DeWine, who he picks is a real concern.

She seems to have the right attitude on guns.

And on illegal immigration…

The idiot prohibitionists piling on, that is, the losers p!$$ed off about election results, offer the same tired, refutable arguments:

“Well regulated” refers to the militia. It has no bearing on weapons kept at home, and the Constitution delegates no authority for any branch of government to overcome “shall not be infringed.”

The “It’s the gun ” argument ignores the tens of millions of us who morally coexist with guns every day. Their only “solution” is to do what they say we’re paranoid for fearing: Ban guns.

And don’t argue “suicide” and then argue the police should be the “Only Ones” armed.

In This We Can Agree

“People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.” [More]

Unfortunately, the court can’t pay proper attention until charges are brought against her.

Who DeWine Picks as Vance’s Replacement of Crucial Interest to Gun Owners

For now, there are several good choices for gun owners that DeWine can make, a few problematic ones, and one that’s completely unacceptable, his previous pick Dolan. [More]

Review the candidates and let him know what you think.

I gotta tell ya, I was delighted to see seven comments by the time I noticed this was up and then saw only one was on topic…:-(

An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

It was unclear if he was struck by a bullet ricochet or another type of metal fragment. Kunce was firing an AR-15-style weapon at the time that the reporter was struck. [More]

At an event with Adam Kinzinger, shooting metal at close range…

Speaking of “clowns whose disregard for … common sense puts people’s lives at risk. This is honestly humiliating” .

And he’ll still vote with the Party on judicial nominees. “Pro-gun” Democrats are very different from “Pro-2A” Democrats.

Help a Fudd Out?

Thankfully, the House of Representatives has passed GOA-backed H.R. 615 which would END Biden’s backdoor attempt at banning lead ammo. But now, we need your help urging the Senate to stop Biden’s lead ammo ban. [More]

It’s time once more to show we’re not the ones throwing them under buses.

And this one has a chance of passing, too:

Prognosis 52% chance of being enacted

I imagine guys like Tester and Manchin would be hard-pressed to vote against it…

Thank a Republican

A Matter of Priorities

The Washington D.C. prosecutor’s office that targeted January 6 protesters, including a 71-year-old great-grandmother known as the “Praying Grandma,” decided to drop charges of kidnapping and murder against a young woman who carjacked a vehicle carrying a sick woman then crashed the car, resulting in the sick woman’s death.

Can there be a bigger accountability-avoiding scam than “Confirmed by voice vote“?

And the Reason I Should Care?

Republican Nella Domenici hauls in $1.25M since launching Senate bid in New Mexico in January [More]

I note her campaign website highlights no issues and donations go through WinRed.

So, Nella, why should a no-compromise gun owner get a fire in the belly over your candidacy? What laws will you work to support? What laws will you work to repeal? Where do you see “common ground” with prohibitionists?

What makes donating to you a more prudent ultimate investment than buying more ammo? What makes walking precincts and manning phone banks a more prudent investment of time than honing skills at the range?

Because — and pay attention to this — being just another establishment Vichycon won’t cut it. New Mexico has been dominated by tyrants. There are no “friends across the aisle.”

Who are you to lead the charge against them?

Let’s see if she responds.

Brought to You By…

A U.S. judge on Monday ruled that the Mexican government could move forward with a lawsuit accusing five Arizona gun dealers of participating in the trafficking of weapons and ammunition to drug cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border. [More]

I see plenty of Republican “Yea” votes…

Draft Rand Paul

“The prospect of Rand Paul leading Republicans in the Senate should excite every liberty lover in America,” Staggs said. “The uniparty has done so much damage to our country, and it’s time to reverse that. We need someone who understands federalism, someone who is America First, someone who understands we must solve our problems at home rather than nation-building. We need Rand Paul.” [More]

I’d be willing to give it a try:

Trump-Endorsed Moreno Laughing at Gun Owners Raises Legitimate Concerns

He doesn’t want to take away guns, but some are “out”? Which ones and why? That’s not “infringing”? Why does he sound like every anti-gunner in the world with the deer cracks? And no private sales? Does this guy even have a clue? [More]

Bernie? You got some ‘splainin’ to do. So does Donald, and JD, and Dave, and Ted, and Rand, and…
