Speaker Dustin Burrows confirmed on Monday that the newly adopted Texas House rules, which grant increased power to Democrats, were authored by Democrat lawyer Hugh Brady. [More]
How do Texas Republicans allow this to happen?

Their Man in the GOP
Democrat Coalition Propels Dustin Burrows to Speaker of the Texas House – More Democrats than Republicans voted for Burrows’ speakership. [More]
We’ve crossed paths with this character before.
There are always reasons for these things:

Multiple Republicans voted for gun confiscations without due process in HB-4144 [More]
Until gun owners let the GOP know they cannot betray us and win, this will continue. They need uncompromising gun owners more than uncompromising gun owners need them.
So does that mean I’d rather let a really, really anti-gun Democrat win the seat instead?
Does that mean you’d surrender your guns if they did?

A Fly in the Ointment
“Led by Dustin Burrows, these representatives are now negotiating with Democrats to install a Speaker who would undermine the conservative agenda. This is an unacceptable betrayal of our party and our values.” [More]

Not. Gonna. Happen.
Abolish the ATF?: Rep. Burlison wants to eliminate ‘disaster agency’ he says has been violating 2nd Amendment- Rep. Eric Burlison plans to introduce a measure that then-Rep. Matt Gaetz previously put forward in 2023 [More]
Without abolishing the “laws” it enforces, we’d just be kicking the can down the road and into potentially worse hands.
Besides, thanks to Vichycon gun-grabbers, it’ll never even make it out of the House. And what do you think Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins will have to say about it in the Senate?

Hanging Together
With Republicans Like These
Albritton, R-Wauchula, told reporters that as a life-long and consistent supporter of law enforcement, he will oppose any open carry legislation in 2025: “I trust my law enforcement officials. They oppose it … and I stand with them today in opposition.” [More]
Because after all, who works for whom?
He’s in a solidly Republican district, the primary was canceled, and he’s got his seat ’til ’28, so what’s he care what you think?

Country Over Party?
Senate Republicans are rejecting a proposal floated by some advisers to President-elect Trump to take the job of conducting background checks for high-level nominees away from the FBI and give it to private investigators. [More]

A ‘Former Conservative’
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is urging Democrats to change their messaging to say that “Republicans want to kill your kids.” [More]
It’s just SOP for her.
I love that she’s attacking Morning Joe and WaPo in what appears to be a monomaniacal quest to make herself even more irrelevant and hated by everybody.
Then again, it looks like she realizes that:

Out with the Old/In with…the Old
There are only two things that are certain in Oregon in 2025. Taxes and Republican surrender. [More]
Most would be like that everywhere if that’s what it took.
Don’t look for things to change in the Beaver State as long as the RNC and national “conservative” groups and PACs view principled primary challengers to be liabilities to seats the Party still has, and with the great fundraising hope being a traitorous gun-grabber.
What would it take to start changing that?
Maybe have a gun owners “strike” and sit out those races with Quisling candidates, and let the GOP know if they want a seat at the table, it needs to support us — if not out of principle, then desperation works, too.
Give up even those seats to the Dems? Why not? How much worse could it get?
Besides, we’ve got Bruen and a Supreme Court that’s poised to grow in our favor.
If you have a better plan, let’s hear it.
