The California NAACP is pushing to get rid of the national anthem that they’re calling racist and anti-black. [More]

Isn't the term "colored people" frowned upon these days...?

I guess it depends on who says it.

To Continue with a Theme...

Republican Rep. Scott Taylor (Va.) called the GOP defeat in Virginia’s gubernatorial race a “referendum” on President Trump's administration on Tuesday. [More]

No doubt:

Hey GOA:

What the hell...?

The Media/RINO Alliance

“Even with Sen. Flake announcing his retirement and the whirlwind of media attention around Steve Bannon’s endorsement and visit, Kelli Ward has not seen any improvement in her support,” said Chuck Coughlin, a longtime Republican strategist whose HighGround Public Affairs conducted the independent poll released Tuesday. “The numbers continue to show that Ward is a flawed General Election candidate, and her nomination would likely result in a loss of the seat for Republicans.” [More]

It would seem "Metro reporter" Laurie Roberts is invested in Alinsky Rule 5 attacks on Ward. That and being a gun grab apparatchik.

And speaking of taking the high ground, it would appear that -- if you listen to them -- what Arizonans clamor most for on immigration is "dialogue" and "increased economic development."

All the pollsters were surprised in November, too. Including Highground, which just a few weeks earlier figured showed Hillary in the lead.

The intent, as we can see from the last post, is to continuously bombard those who want their country back with messages of political defeatism. It's no different in principle than the "pragmatic" gun "leaders" saying we have to throw bump stocks under the bus rather than hold the line, repel any who approach, and then advance.

By the same token, if most just say "Screw it" and stay home, the prophecy will come true.  My taxes just went up considerably because the damn fools where I live passed an unneeded (but intensely lobbied for) school bond levy by several hundred votes, while most who were eligible did not lift as finger to stop it and will no doubt be outraged and surprised when they get the bill.

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Republicans suddenly fear disastrous 2018 [More]

Keep ignoring and/or subverting the mandate, and yeah. Keep acting like the Bush wing of the party and disparaging those who want their country back, and yeah.

By the same token, New Jersey, suburban Philadelphia, Virginia that already picked McAwful and then went to Hillary...?

What did  Kim Guadgano offer worth getting a fire in the belly over, exactly...? Ditto Gillespie...? And we're supposed to believe Chester County loss apologist Ryan Costello, that it's because people are "displeased by the tone and style of the administration" as opposed to, oh, I don't know...

The media is making a big deal and putting the spin on this because it's the media, and establishment Republicans would rather see Democrats win and "Trumpism" repudiated because they're establishment Republicans.

Trump Pentagon Health System Pick’s Opinion on Guns Shows He is Unsuitable for Position

“I’d also like to, and I may get in trouble with other members of the committee, just say how insane it is that in the United States of America a civilian can go out and buy a semi-automatic assault rifle like an AR-15, which apparently was the weapon that was used,” retired Air Force Colonel Dean Winslow, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the military’s health care system, told the Senate Armed Services Committee... [More]

What's insane is an administration that owes its victory to gun owners then putting gun-grabbers in positions of influence -- and us just taking it lying down.

The Real Donkeys

Not just disliked, but loathed, by their own voters. [More]

Yep. I know I do.

And you've gotta wonder how much of that is due to their blindness vs. an engineered sellout.

And Your Point Is?

After Church Shooting, Stewart Rhodes Tells Oath Keepers To ‘Go Armed At All Times, In All Places’... [More]

Yeah? What of it?

No Coincidence

Pro-Rape Hollywood and Media are Anti-Gun [More]

True enough, but not exactly a revelation.

I'd never seen that Emily Miller clip before. If that's her level of understanding, she's the wrong person to be arguing for the Second Amendment.

So what do you think the predisposition toward We the People will be when it "matures" even further and becomes standard "in common use at the time" infantry issue?

Surely, those "in charge" must know that.

The Thing that Would Not Die

Illinois Gun Dealer Licensing Law (Complete with Carve-out) Back from the Dead [More]

On a tangentially-related noted, it looks like NRA has parted ways with Todd Vandermyde. If there's a reason I have not heard it, but forgive me if I speculate there was a perceived need for a fall guy.

The one time I met him he seemed cordial enough, but I've had my differences.

That's Not the Problem

ANGUS KING ON ‘ASSAULT WEAPONS’: ‘I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BANNING A WEAPON BECAUSE OF ITS APPEARANCE’ [More]

Yeah, better to impose due process-free prior restraints and enact Pez dispenser limits, right, An...uh...Angus?

Besides, he's working on a plan to make that all moot.

Because Nothing Says Safety Like Utter Helplessness

The problem for Trump's argument is that, outside of a handful of anecdotes here and there, there is very little empirical evidence that suggests the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. [More]

Tell you what, Chris and John: Why don't you answer the same question I pose to all self-appointed "experts"?
