Our gun rights are under assault more than ever, from a President with a proven record of unconstitutional decrees.
I nominate Ted Nugent.

Good on McCarthy for taking himself out of the running once he realized he was NOT going to win.

Kevin McCarthy is a snake. Just take a close look at this guys arrogance and demeanor. He’s just rotten to the bone.
McCarthy is the definition of “ Politics business as usual corruption.”
