- In less than a week since three Burnsville first responders were shot and killed while responding to a domestic dispute, details of the incident have emerged almost daily.
The latest account is quite shocking.
BCA investigators seized several firearms and a large amount of ammunition at the scene. They also recovered cartridge casings that showed Gooden had fired "more than 100 rifle rounds at law enforcement and first responders," the agency said.
Keep in mind that the shooter had his gun rights revoked due to prior convictions, so he was not legally allowed to own the firearms he had in his possession. Nevertheless, Gov. Tim Walz and DFL legislators have already demagogued this shooting in an effort to enact more "gun control" this legislative session.
To summarize: there are currently laws on the books intended to prevent someone like the Burnsville shooter from committing such horrific acts, yet said laws were not an effective deterrent. But pinky swear, these next set of laws will be the magic potion!!
- Some people told me in 2020 that if I didn't support Joe Biden for President, political norms would continue to be undermined and the longstanding working order of our republic would be in peril.
President Biden: "Tens of millions of people in debt were literally about to be cancelled, their debts. But my MAGA Republicans friends in the Congress, elected officials and special interests stepped in and sued us and the Supreme Court blocked it. But that didn't stop me." pic.twitter.com/ruDBNZtb6C

And they were right.
- Donald Trump is the anti King Midas: everything he touches turns to sh*t.
A once great conservative event has been reduced to fringe clown show.
MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec at CPAC:

“Welcome to the end of democracy. We're here to overthrow it completely. We didn't get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here…Because all glory is to God.” pic.twitter.com/55FWokeeVI
Yes, I get that Posobiec is engaging in sarcasm for the most part, basically mocking the hyperbole which progs use to describe MAGA-ites. But since no prominent MAGA figures have wholly condemned the 1/6/2021 U.S. Capitol riots for what they actually were (*not* an insurrection, but a high profile temper tantrum), crap like this is going to be disseminated by an anti-Trump media to accentuate that Trump and his supporters are the greatest threat our republic has ever seen.
The reality is that even if Trump were elected POTUS this November, it's highly unlikely the GOP will have a majority in both Congressional chambers were he to assume office on 1/20/2025. As such, he'd essentially be a lame duck President from day one (Yes, I can totally envision the 2026 midterms being a blue tsunami). It hardly seems worth once proud organizations like the ACU (which organizes CPAC), RNC and NRA selling their proverbial souls to Trump-ism since the man himself will be exorcised from our collective conscience in the not-too-distant future.
