Poor Elizabeth Warren. First she falsely claims Indian ancestry to get an affirmative action job at Harvard and gets caught. Then she offered her own hokey live-stream video in which she made a fool of herself while drinking a beer. Pretty folksy, huh? Now, out on the campaign trail, she’s telling supporters that what she […]
By Larry Keane It’s tough to stay relevant in a twenty-way race for the Democratic presidential nomination that’s marked by provocative and far-left ideas, especially when enacting constitutionally suspect gun control. But don’t ever say U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) doesn’t give it his best effort. His latest gun control proposal ignores basic constitutional protections […]
Yesterday Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen formed select committees to examine “mass violence and community safety” in the Lone Star State, one in the Senate and one in the House. As a press release announced, In response to the recent tragedies in El Paso, Midland, and Odessa, Lt. Gov. Patrick […]
New York Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — who hasn’t found a subject about which she isn’t OMG! really well-informed and eager to pontificate — has taken exception to her distinguished colleague from Texas, Rep. Dan Crenshaw. Crenshaw commented on a defensive gun use during which a woman fended off five attackers while in her car, shooting […]
Thinking back on the recent mass shootings in Gilroy, El Paso, Dayton, and Odessa, much has been learned about the shooters. They’re the usual agglomeration of basement-dwelling criminals and losers who mostly existed online and ranted against everything from religion and immigrants to right wing politics, most of whom had demonstrated histories of threats, depression […]
News flash: the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, otherwise known as NASCAR, has a significant blue-collar following across America. Everyday Americans love their stock car racing almost as much as baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and their Bibles. NASCAR, however, in their own words, has made a “gradual shift” over the years and […]
By Larry Keane It seems that the gun control ideas of former Congressman and Texas Democrat Robert “Beto” O’Rourke don’t travel well. They didn’t even survive a trip across the Texas state line into Arkansas. O’Rourke is pushing a campaign platform that embraces an aggressive gun control agenda. It’s another of O’Rourke’s campaign reboots, this time on […]
Can you smell the scent of desperation on Kamala Harris yet? You should. She has dropped 12 points in polling since the first debate. Now, in an effort to resuscitate her failing campaign, she now says wants to send police to confiscate guns from people she deems “bigots.” While all of her compatriots running for […]
Repeat after me…it’s not what he says, it’s what he does. This is from the AP . . .

By Larry Keane The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, is calling his committee back early from recess. On Sept. 4, the panel is slated to consider three firearm-related bills, a ban on magazines with a capacity over 10 rounds, extreme risk protection orders and a […]
By Larry Keane Politicians making sweeping promises they can’t keep is nothing new on the campaign trail. The vitriol as of late – assigning blame for the horrific crimes of sick and twisted individuals to the firearms industry – is something that has become, unfortunately, predictable. It’s part of the political gamesmanship from those who […]
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it yet again because so few people have caught on. Don’t pay attention to what President Trump says about gun control (or any other subject, really). Pay attention to what he does. Yet what he said yesterday has the congressional civilian disarmament caucus — led by Senate Minority […]
