The betting market says it’s already a done deal. Bigly.

I wonder how many of these guys will vote.

Texas gun owners, you have your work cut out for you, because guess who is leading in the polls:

‘Judgment Day is Coming’

Cornyn Rejects Texas GOP Call To Pull Negative Ads [More]

All you really need to know:

If you think Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, wait ’til this guy loses. Don’t be surprised to see him become a Lincoln Project-style useful idiot talking head for the Democrat propaganda machine along their lines of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Another Win for the Gipper

Federal Judge Blocks Key Border Enforcement Law Provisions – The ruling blocks Texas DPS from enforcing a state law making illegal reentry a crime and allowing the state to issue “removal” orders against illegal aliens. [More]

Appointed by Reagan…

Why “conservatives” revere the guy who sold them out on immigration and guns is beyond me.

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]

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?
