Notes from the Resistance
Here is a short list of some of the medical disorders that could disqualify a Tennessee citizen from exercising their right to keep and bear arms per the medication prescribed for treatment… [More]
How can you tell if Bill Lee is lying?

Lisa Murkowski should have been out of the U.S. Senate in the 2010 elections, when she was beaten in the Republican primary by Joe Miller. Instead, she conducted a write-in campaign in the general election and managed to survive when Democrats fled from their candidate and wrote her name in to deny Miller, a tea party conservative, an opportunity to serve. And then Murkowski had her allies pass the chaotic, corrupt, and infamous ranked choice voting system, together with a jungle primary, in advance of last year’s election. Had there been a Republican primary, she would have been crushed by Kelly Tshibaka, whom the state GOP endorsed. [More]
Yeah, well, some of us have tried to warn, but our reach is limited.
That must be why I still hear “conservatives” raving about Tim Scott.
We, the undersigned groups and individuals, strongly object to H.R. 3599, an ill-advised bipartisan immigration bill with Republican cosponsors that would establish pathways to citizenship and otherwise facilitate illegal immigration. [More]
In spite of NRA giving happy talk cover.
So how can others sign?
Today, after lengthy delays due to technical issues that shut down state websites, the House Republicans folded up and provided the quorum the Democrats needed to pass House Bills 2002 and 2005. [More]
The reality is, since we will not disarm regardless of what diktats are forced through, stupid and gutless Vichycons don’t realize they need us more than we need them.
With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]
If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?
It’s about official as it can get. Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp has made a deal with the Democrats and you are on the chopping block. Personally made firearms will be banned under Knopp’s sell out and while there is some talk of getting something on the record that it will not apply to AR style uppers, we have no reason to think they are actually going to change the language of the bill to clarify that. [More]
Yeah, throw the circling jackals a scrap of flesh. That’ll make ’em go away!
GOP Squish Caucus Saves Evil Adam Schiff From Being Censured [More]
They really are doing their damnedest to douse and fire in bellies for ’24. And would it be too much to name them and save the rest of us the time?
Anyway, it’s consistent with what we’ve come to expect.

UPDATE
I gotta say, the Yeas and Nays confuse me, as do some of the names I see. So if they voted “Yea” they were against the resolution?
Is Thomas Massie right? What’s that assessment based on, speech or debate?
Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]
They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.
Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is introducing a bill on Tuesday that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from arming its agents with taxpayer money. [More]
She’s pandering to rah-rah Republican gun owners over something she knows damn well doesn’t have a chance in hell of passing and counting on them being oblivious to her screwing them in Biden’s ‘Bipartisan’ Betrayal.

Two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — broke from the party and voted against the legislation… [More]
I knew about this Fitzpatrick piece of crap— and his strange hold over Kevin McCarthy. Kean hasn’t been on my radar yet to know what a phony he is:
The National Rifle Association (NRA) Victory Fund gave Tom Kean, Jr. these ratings for the following election cycles: an A+ rating (100 percent) for 2017 and a B rating (67 percent) for 2020.
And speaking of phonies, since when is 67% not a “D” and a 1.0 GPA?

Following the “pledge card” practice means that a relatively small number of often nominal Republicans can elect a speaker by allying with the Democrat minority, which understandably would prefer to have a Speaker who is not a GOP stalwart . . . especially if that Speaker also gives Democrat members control of certain committees as a sweetener. [More]
So basically, between the speaker and the lieutenant governor, we’re talking a drunk and a poltroon…

Texas-Related UPDATE
Governor Abbott Signs Key Pro-Second Amendment Bills into Law… House Bill 2837 … prohibits financial institutions and credit card companies from requiring licensed dealers to use a firearms-specific merchant category code (MCC) to categorize retail gun purchases [and] House Bill 3137 … expands the state firearms preemption law… [More]
Well the bad news is we were right. Tim Knopp is making deals to throw gun owners under the bus. The “deal” will be to let the Democrats ban personally made firearms, a scheme courts have already determined to be unconstitutional. [More]
What? They won’t stop with that?
Leave it to gutless idiot f*****g Republicans. Fold on anything and that’s one less obstacle they need to overcome on their way to everything.
Anyone who doesn’t realize we’re dealing with lying devils who want it all is willfully deluded. Anyone who does realize it and “compromises” anyway is ultimately on their side.
The Republican Senator from North Carolina was censured by the state Republican Party today for his vote to support gay marriage and red flag laws. [More]
In terms of the red flags, I see the Weasel Whisperer is still trying to have it both ways.

What can I say but “National Review“?
I’ve run into this Verbruggen Vichycon before. I see he hasn’t learned a damn thing, and in his arrogant ignorance, never will.

“Eight years ago, you were entertained,” he said. “I forgive you.” [More]
28 years ago you said this. And you lied about saying this two years earlier:
“‘The issue which has energized me to get into this race is the recent attempt by certain Republican legislators to repeal New Jersey’s ban on
assault weapons,’ Christie said in a statement released (on April 14, 1993). ”In today’s society, no one needs a semi-automatic assault weapon.'”
A former GOP candidate in New Mexico has been indicted on federal charges in connection to a spate of shootings at Democratic officials’ homes after he lost his 2022 midterm election bid, court documents show. [More]
CNN is groping itself in ecstasy now that it’s finally got a Republican involved in “gun violence.”
With the guy’s prior record, you’d think Democrats who are all about felons voting wouldn’t have sued to keep him off the ballot. And the Stupid Party “leadership” failed, too: Instead of disavowing the creep, they played the “young Hispanic man, who turned his life around” card, as if Democrats still won’t paint them as a bunch of white supremacists.
