This Day in History

“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father’s name.” – Sam Houston​ Addressing the troops on April 21, 1836.

Think this is what he had in mind they were doing it for?

Buoy, Am I Glad to See You!

The buoy strategy has already faced legal and diplomatic challenges, with the Mexican government and left‑wing activists arguing the floating barriers endanger illegal crossers and may violate treaty obligations on use of the Rio Grande. [More]

They had me at the headline. They didn’t need to sell me.

Still, what’s this got to do with the Second Amendment…?

A ‘Proven Conservative’

GOP Candidate Amy Fennell Wanted to Keep ‘Treasonous Felon’ Trump Out of White House – A series of recent social media posts from Fennell show the Republican candidate blasting Trump while supporting Kamala Harris. [More]

Nope, nothing about RKBA…

Not surprising if she wanted to help enable Kamala to do this…

Without a CAIR in the World

The Council on American‑Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil‑liberties group, filed a federal lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott after he designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations. CAIR called the designation “unconstitutional and defamatory.” [More]

Yeah. Just because they “have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world,’” is no reason to call them names.

Not-So Hidden Agenda

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) introduced the Second Amendment Restoration Act on November 12, 2025, launching a direct assault on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act signed by President Joe Biden in June 2022. [More]

“Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted“

Methinks this is just a backdoor way to remind gunvoters of Cornyn’s treason and give boost to Ken Paxton’s challenge next year.

Adventures in Baselessness

Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve the nonprofit JOLT Initiative, accusing the Democrat-aligned voter-registration group of orchestrating what he calls a “systematic, unlawful voter-registration scheme” designed to “sabotage Texas election integrity and allow illegals to vote.” [More]

But…but…but…

A Matter of Degree?

Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats’ gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner’s existing rights. [More]

Is “not largely” restricting rights like being a little bit pregnant?

The current is either on or off. How much current there is does not alter that.

Nor does equivocation. Because once you flip that switch, you allow for turning the dial.

Spoiler Alert?

“There never was, and never will be, a tenable pathway for Hunt,” they said in the memo. “It’s time for the vanity project that could cost Republicans control of the Senate and dilute our resources to end.” [More]

I dunno– Cornyn is a weasel gun owners will stay home over and Paxton comes with exploitable scandals.

Why don’t they drop out and the Republicans throw everything they’ve got behind a guy who actually gets it?

Messin’ with Texas

So… they’re not here to assimilate…? And yes, he didn’t exactly say that, but what would happen if he represented the majority, or even a more significant minority?

Boy, did they pick the wrong state!

The Exception to the Rule

Second Amendment – I am the most Pro-Gun candidate in history. ​ – When the left comes for your guns, they’re really coming for your children’s future. ​ – The 2nd Amendment is there, to always protect the First. [More]

As I’ve acknowledged before to those who deny my immigration stance without taking my challenge:

Of course, there are good immigrants and they don’t all lean Democrat. Hell, there are some great immigrants, people I strive to be worthy of knowing. There just aren’t enough of them overall to offset the tide of Third World huddled masses yearning to breathe free stuff. That’s because the vote-exploiting Democrats and labor-exploiting Republicans have not made the ability to assimilate to a Bill of Rights culture a priority. They haven’t even made it a consideration. And if you tried to make Constitutionally-compatible ideology a precondition to admittance, an activist federal judge would loudly strike it down — even though any government action that does not “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” would rightfully and clearly be condemned by the Founders as illegitimate.

Valentian Gomez appears to be one of those to be embraced.
