A Pretty Good Indicator

Which Republicans thought your 2A rights were important enough to discuss with Florida Carry? The answer might surprise you! [More]

The ones who need to be surprised are the ones who didn't.

'According to the Balloon Council...'

There is such a thing? [More]

Why do I envision their meetings feature clowns tying balloons into animal shapes?

And what happens if a sea turtle swallows one of these?

Don't Antagonize the Animals

“If you’re that into politics, don’t put yourself in a situation where it could become a problem for you,” said Mauldin. [More]

You know, like expressing your opinion anywhere some commie punk piece of sh!+ might take offense. Like anywhere in public.

Where do you think you are, America?

You Can Tell It's Politics-Free Because We Say So!

Gun violence research being done at Arizona State University without politics [More]

Really?

Then why use the loaded term "gun violence"?

And why push the "public health model" the gun-grabbers use to try and give academic gravitas to their citizen disarmament long con?

"[A] self-proclaimed ‘Jersey girl’ who grew up in an inner city housing project" who works at a state university?   Why does the word "Democrat" keep popping into my head?

Chronic and Habitual LIARS!

Junk Science: So called "Studies" Linking Licensed Concealed To High Homicide Rates Are Bogus - VPC AGAIN FALSELY ACCUSES CCW LICENSE HOLDERS OF HAVING A HIGH HOMICIDE RATE [More]

Still at their "concealed carry killers" scam, eh?

Sir Wilfrid is having none of it:

Laws are for Little People

The SAFE Act’s penalties apply whether or not an offender knows he is breaking the law. [More]

Taking the Cake

Colorado Targets Christian Baker Again Despite Supreme Court’s Cake Ruling [More]

According to"progressives,"  you can force an artist to compromise his artistic integrity and promote something antithetical to his core beliefs. You canmandate that the only expression he is free to manifest is yours.

Where have we seen that before?

He Said/He Said

Suspect disputes anti-abortion activist's claim that he pointed rifle outside clinic in Granite City [More]

Unless there's more to it than this, there seems to be plenty of reasonable doubt.

Under the Illusion

Meet the man behind some of 2018's most viral campaign videos [More]

They work. And they illustrate a paradox.

"Our" side has the truth, but efforts to spread it too often appear ham-handed and amateurish. "Their side" has the resources and skills to weave lies into a compelling and seductive presentation.

Which do you think makes more of an impact on audiences motivated by emotion rather than on understanding?

Reality Check

You don't say...

Pawlenty to Think About

Pawlenty loses comeback bid in Minnesota [More]

Good.

GOP take note.

Having Their Phil

Meanwhile, preliminary results showed that Gov. Phil Scott survived a challenge animated by his former Republican allies in the gun-rights movement. [More]

They challenged him because he betrayed and attacked them.

If he loses the general election, watch the predominant narrative attribute it to a rejection of "Trumpism." As opposed to belly fire-quenching by Swamp RINOs in an environment where a critical mass of constituents are useful idiot Bernie-lovin' socialist loons...

If he wins, other Republicans will take note that gun owner desperation means betrayal gets a pass. That's the reaction the party has counted on for years, and is largely responsible for us being in the mess we're in.
