FOIA is your friend. These documents come directly from the second in command in the Land of Lincoln, the Illinois Lieutenant Governor’s office (when she’s not waiting in line to buy marijuana). First, let’s set the stage. October 28, 2019 The Lt. Governor‘s office reached out to Sara Knizhnik, who is with the Illinois Council […]
Just kidding! The above photo is from a Moms Demand Action event in Florida (note the palm trees). Here’s the actual turnout for yesterday’s Virginia MDA lobby day: Look at them all. Almost two dozen! I think I’ve seen more people waiting to be seated at Denny’s on a Tuesday afternoon. Here the teeming throng […]
Meet Dick . . . Virginia Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw introduced Senate Bill 16 (amongst many other gun control bills): You can hear on hot mic (whoops) what Virginia dems think of ”gun nuts” during what he tweeted about (below) today. Have a watch and listen (between seconds :24 and :56): Gun control […]
It looks like there’s no stopping the guerrilla activist movement that Virginia locals have started in response to state Democrats’ push for more restrictions on their Second Amendment rights. First reported in the Culpeper Star-Exponent, flyers and posters featuring the blackface and klan image from Governor Ralph Northam’s college yearbook are showing up all around […]
Moms Demand Action is good at a few things. They’re good at selling their brand and getting lots of media attention (just check out how they first gained momentum). They’re also good at lobbying in state capitals, like their upcoming Virginia lobby day on 1/8/20. Those red-shirted women make for good photo ops and MDA […]
Over the past few weeks, some residents of Virginia, working on their own, have begun brainstorming on a billboard campaign to show that they will not stand idly by while Virginia’s Governor (whose blackface scandal even had Mike Bloomberg telling him to step down) plans stomp all over their rights. The planning is taking place […]
It should come as no surprise that Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America lobbied hard against the Texas law that allowed Jack Wilson and other parishioners to defend themselves in their church. Just take a look at the “against” witness list for SB 535 Now, after the law ensured that lives were […]
Virginia Democrats and Governor Ralph Northam may have opened an even bigger can of worms than they intended with their rhetoric about enforcing proposed new gun control laws they pass. Over 90% of the state’s counties have signaled their #resistance by declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, most of which vowing not to enforce any new […]
The harrowing events of the siege on Los Angeles’s Nakatomi Plaza took place 31 years ago. That tragic incident and the heroic response by one off-duty police officer were recounted in a now beloved documentary that recounts what is widely considered to be a Christmas miracle. We can all be thankful, however, that those […]
Yesterday TTAG published an article talking about Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo attacking Republicans (and the NRA) after a HPD officer was shot and killed during a domestic violence call, often the the most dangerous calls police officers deal with. The attack would have been shocking…if it had come from someone else. But Acevedo’s made […]
Who doesn’t enjoy a friendly holiday gathering? The Burke/Fairfax Virginia Moms Demand Action chapter will be holding a holiday social next week. It’s listed as a public restaurant, so it’s fair game to attend. This would be a great opportunity to thank Michael Bloomberg’s minion moms in person for helping secure the new “gun sense” […]
As we are all aware, AstroTurf groups such as Shannon Watts’s Moms Demand Action (which is a copy cat of another movement from the early 2000’s that faded) are very good at what they do: getting attention. They are at city council meetings, county board meetings, and, as we have seen recently in districts in […]
