Here we go! David Hogg has infuriated top Democrats, and they are now plotting to force him out as DNC Vice Chair. In February, the DNC elected David Hogg, 25, as Vice Chair – and Democrats immediately had buyer’s remorse as the ‘twerp’ began threatening to primary certain Dem lawmakers. Hogg has no experience in actually getting Democrats elected to office. He’s an online troll who is causing too much damage to the already ailing Democrat party, so now the Democrat leadership has the knives out for him. Last week, TGP reported that Hogg vowed to spend millions to unseat...

A Republican lawmaker from Colorado expressed shock at being told by Democratic colleagues that he had to remove a sticker supporting the Second Amendment from his laptop while in the state's House chamber. "I had to cover up this, they couldn't stand my sticker," Colorado Republican state Rep. Ken DeGraaf said during remarks on the state's House floor, pointing to paper covering up a sticker in support of the Second Amendment on a laptop he carried with him to the chamber. "It said ‘shall not be infringed’ and signed ‘2-A’ and that was considered offensive, which I understand would be...

Four Chilean men have been arrested in connection with a string of burglaries that includes the home of Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow. The four suspects were arrested following "an ongoing investigation involving burglaries of multimillion-dollar homes in multiple states," according to WLWT-TV, citing court documents. Sergio Cabello, Bastian Morales, Jordan Sanchez and Alexander Chavez were arrested in Clark County after being pulled over by Ohio State Highway Patrol on Jan. 10, according to the documents.

I will give the president this much: He can’t stay quiet about this story, being that he’s a Democrat, but Joe also placed himself in a position where he and his party can no longer comment on gun violence forever. There was a horrific shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, today. Two people are dead, with another six wounded. The shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It’s not right, but this story isn’t going to last a week. The suspect wasn’t a white male, and the firearm used in this crime was a 9mm handgun....

This is openly totalitarian. If we don’t resist this, we’re done: “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.” ... Kamala Harris literally said they will be doing a gun confiscation. What’s it going to take for everyone to realize these people are straight up communists and they are coming for our guns, our free speech and all our constitutional rights. Democrats are domestic terrorists.

“Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to the Apalachee High School attack by pushing gun control Sunday that would not stop attacks on schools from occurring. Newsom posted to X: Notice 75 percent of Newsom’s proposed gun control deals with point-of-sale: 1) Add background checks to private sales, 2) Raise minimum purchase age to 21, and 3) Put a waiting period in place for gun purchases. None of these gun controls would have had the least impact on the Apalachee High School attacker as he was only 14-years-old, which means he was already too young to buy a gun, period....

“Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it ‘imagination’.” I blogged about the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Co. I speculated that “Colorado’s governor — Branch Covidian, gun-grabber, and general tyrant wannabe — Jared Polis will almost certainly tackle this . . . now that it’s gaining negative national attention. He will likely issue a disapproving statement and let this continue.” I was wrong, though he may yet get there. As of now, he is dismissing the video evidence...

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who endorsed President Donald Trump on Friday, has penned a note on social media to explain what “MAGA” means to him. “MAGA” — the acronym for Trump’s iconic slogan, “Make America Great Again” — has been demonized by Democrats. President Joe Biden and his administration constantly attacked what they called the “ultra-MAGA” Republicans or the “extreme MAGA agenda.”

California Democrat State Representative Katie Porter (who is running for the Senate Seat in California) said this on Monday 2/26/2024 about the murder of a nursing student Laken Riley who had her skull smashed in by a criminal illegal invader:"...Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) said Monday the “horrible” killing of a nursing student on the University of Georgia campus should not inform the entirety of U.S. immigration policy. “I think whenever we’re dealing with violent crime, there is a sense of outrage, of sadness and loss,” Porter, who’s running for Senate in California, said during an interview on CNN’s “Erin Burnett...

On January 9, 2024, Letitia James, Attorney General of New York, released a letter sent to Stefanie Feldman, Director of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. The letter was on behalf of 19 states and the District of Columbia. A summation of the letter is as follows: Guns are bad. Ammunition is bad. It is a bad idea to allow people to have ammunition for guns, so the Lake City Ammunition plant should not be allowed to sell ammunition to civilians. Here is the first paragraph from ag.ny.gov: Dear Director Feldman, We write on behalf of the States...

On Thursday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) said that if you don’t have metal detectors, “then how can we ever fully be safe in a city, a state, and, perhaps, a country where we know that people are freely walking around with AR-15s, with modified handguns with switches, with any number of issues, or frankly, even just your old classic revolver?” And “If we know that one can act with impunity with that, then it’s hard to say we’ll ever be fully as safe as I think we’d like to idealize ourselves to...

A House Republican is calling for an inquiry into House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio), saying his vague call to declassify a national security threat was done with “reckless disregard.”Turner on Wednesday called on President Biden to declassify intelligence on a “serious national security threat,” writing that it was needed “so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat.”But Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) on Thursday accused Turner of having ulterior motives, citing the battle over both funding for Ukraine and a bill to reauthorize the nation’s warrantless spy powers —...

President Biden renewed his calls for Congress to pass gun violence prevention legislation after Wednesday’s deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade. The shooter in Kansas City, Mo., opened fire during the victory parade and killed at least one person and injured over 20 more, including at least eight children. “The Super Bowl is the most unifying event in America. Nothing brings more of us together,” Biden said in a statement Wednesday. “And the celebration of a Super Bowl win is a moment that brings a joy that can’t be matched to the winning team and their...

It’s been just over a month since 18 Mainers lost their lives in a mass shooting in Lewiston. Now, U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) says he is putting forward new legislation designed to help curb mass killings without hindering Americans who own a firearm for self-defense or the marksmen who head to the shooting range or the woods during hunting season. King says the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act would regulate the sale, transfer, and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic guns. Also read: Tragedy in Maine: Who are the victims of the Lewiston mass shooting? He is proposing to limit...

LANSING – Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a slate of new gun control bills into law on November 20 that confiscate firearms and ammunition from people in Michigan who have been convicted of both violent and non-violent misdemeanors under new legal definitions of “domestic violence misdemeanors” established in the new laws. These bills, passed by the democrat-controlled state house and senate, broadly expand the category of misdemeanors considered to be “domestic violence” to include many infractions that are clearly not violent, allow law enforcement to confiscate all firearms from anyone convicted of these misdemeanors, and prohibit anyone convicted of these misdemeanors...

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) reacted to the Wednesday night attacks in Lewiston, Maine, by pushing an “assault weapons” ban (again). Police have yet to identify the firearm used in the attacks, although photographs of the person of interest appears to be holding some sort of long gun. Murphy responded by posting to X, “Another deeply mentally ill man, armed with a military semi-automatic rifle, commits mass murder. This isn’t hard. a. Keep weapons away from potentially dangerous people. b. Don’t let anyone have an assault weapon.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed three new gun control bills Tuesday, one of which expands areas where concealed carry for self-defense is banned. State Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-Glendale) sponsored the expanded ban contained in SB2. He spoke prior to the signing, saying, “Do you need a gun to go to your daughter’s…soccer game? I would say you need a water bottle and orange slices.” He said, “When you go to the mall, do you need a weapon to go shopping, or do you need a credit card? You need a credit card.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is eyeing a change to the United States Constitution. The state's legislature on Thursday approved a resolution in support of Newsom's call for a 28th Constitutional amendment, according to the Los Angeles Times. The amendment would enshrine a list of Democratic gun-control policy priorities into federal law. California is requesting a Constitutional convention to enshrine the amendment. For the amendment to be considered, two-thirds of state legislatures would have to vote in favor of a convention, according to the Times. The proposed "Right to Safety Amendment" would limit legal gun ownership to adults 21 and older,...
