Two Beta males running for DNC chair

On: By: admin

The humiliating loss Democrats suffered this past election has created a power vacuum.  Two hopefuls have tossed their names into the running for DNC leadership roles.

First is State Senator James Skoufis:

“State Sen. James Skoufis announced Saturday his candidacy to become the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. The senator, representing most of Orange County and the Catskills, touted his bipartisan appeal in an announcement video posted to his X account. “I’ve won on tough Trump turf three times. I’ve won when governors face red waves, all while bringing the Democratic big tent together and never sacrificing our values,” Skoufis said …”

No one outside the Hudson Valley knows who he is.  He’s hardly a power broker in the State Senate either, much less statewide. I don’t take this seriously.

Next is noted antigunner David Hogg:

“David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 shooting at his high school in Parkland, Florida, who turned into a national anti-violence activist, has launched a bid to serve in leadership of the Democratic National Committee. Hogg, 24, announced Monday he is running to become a vice chair of the DNC, arguing he would focus on winning back young voters who have drifted from the Democratic Party to the Republicans …”

Hogg is a a walking, talking meme-making machine. I endorse his campaign on the grounds that he would destroy what is left of the party.

Election coda

On: By: admin

Donald Trump won re-election claiming both the electoral college and the popular vote. He didn’t win the state, but did very well in New York.

Republicans took the majority in the Senate and appear to have picked up seats in the House.

Locally, Republicans lost some Congressional seats, but picked up a State Senate seat in Brooklyn taking away the Democrats super-majority in the upper chamber.

WCFOA endorsed Susan Cacace won the county D.A. race.

Democrats aren’t taking their loss well, Kamala’s campaign is $20 million in the red, and legacy media pundits are losing their shit.

It was a good day.

Hochul signs more gun control bills

No Constitutional violation

On: By: admin

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve said 2A advocates need to be involved with elections at all levels.

Here’s the latest reason:

“New York’s ban on body armor does not violate an individual’s constitutional right to bear arms because no such right exists, according to the attorney representing Monroe County DA Sandra Doorley. The unusual legal argument by Deputy County Attorney Robert Shoemaker was part of Doorley’s answer to a federal lawsuit challenging the legality of New York’s ban on the public sale and purchase of body armor. “There was and will be no Constitutional violation in enforcing the statute because the phrase ‘bear arms’ is a 1791-era idiom referring to military or militia service,” Shoemaker wrote. “Plaintiffs have failed to plead their involvement in a militia.” …”

Outrageous.

“… Doorley, through a spokesperson, declined comment on Shoemaker’s argument and referred questions to the county law department. A county spokesperson did not immediately respond to messages …”

There’s nothing they can say.

“… Shoemaker is an enrolled Democrat …”

I’m shocked.

“… Doorley has been a Republican since 2015 ­ she had been enrolled as a Democrat but switched parties during her bid for a second term in office. Their respective positions on gun rights was not immediately known …”

We know what their position is.

“… Doorley has previously supported pro-Second Amendment candidates for office, including the 2022 gubernatorial contender Lee Zeldin, a Republican who has an A-rating for gun rights support from the National Rifle Association. She was initially offered the role of campaign co-chair before being advised against doing so by the District Attorney’s Association of the State of New York …”

Dodged that bullet.

Councilman Erik Bottcher thinks he’s helping

On: By: admin

New bill introduced to the Clown Council, INT 1016-2024, Requires dealers in firearms, rifles, and shotguns to display a warning sign where the firearms, rifles, or shotguns are displayed or where they are transferred to the purchaser.

From the bill text:

A notice stating: “A firearm in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, homicide, death during domestic disputes, and unintentional deaths to children, household members, and others. If you or a loved one is experiencing distress or depression, call the Mobile Crisis Team at 1-888-NYC-WELL (1-888-692-9355) or the National Suicide Hotline at 988.” Such notice shall be at least 8 inches by 11 inches and printed in no less than 36-point font, and shall be unobstructed in its entirety.

The sponsor is very pleased with himself for coming up with this “new” idea:

The obvious goal is to scare would-be gun owners into not exorcising their 2A rights. It won’t work because the fact that guns are dangerous is their main selling point. Clownsticks like Bottcher refuse to accept this.

Cut off kid’s dicks to counter “gun violence”

On: By: admin

Words escape me:

“Multiple gun control groups on Tuesday argued in a Supreme Court filing that allowing children access to gender transition procedures would prove “crucial” in countering gun violence. Groups such as March for Our Lives and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence made the claim in an amicus brief filed in United States v. Skrmetti. The case centers around the legality of a Tennessee bill prohibiting minors from undergoing gender transition treatments … The groups also argued some children who cannot receive gender transition treatments may kill themselves, which they said commonly happens using a firearm …”

This is legally retarded.

Issues don’t mix

On: By: admin

Everytown has put out this add trying to mix gun control with abortion:

How exactly is abortion related to gun control? It isn’t. In fact it can be argued that both issues are polar opposites of each other. Then why do this?

I have long held the belief that much of what constitutes “the Left” is made up of professional agitators organized and directed by politicians and wealthy donors. This is certainly true for gun control and to a large extent the pro-abortion crowd. However, the organizers would usually keep the issues’ supporters separated. After all, why would tough, blue collar union workers concerned about their wages and benefits get involved with effeminate homosexuals or militant greenies? They wouldn’t. That is why I believe this ad is a mistake. I think they are very, very worried about a second Trump administration and are getting desperate.

All-in for gun control

On: By: admin

Democrats are going all-in for gun control and will feature Gabby Giffords and other advocates in prime time during the DNC convention tonight.

This is counter to the Fudd friendly campaign Harris/Walz appeared to be going for earlier. Maybe they realized the Fudd vote isn’t real or more likely they just decided to give up any pretense of running a center-left campaign and going full communist. Whatever the reason, vote 2A this November.
