- The only way any modicum of "gun control" would pass in the U.S. Senate is if 10 GOP Senators were willing to put up votes. It was announced Sunday which ten it will be:
They are conspiring against you!

Word is the Senate is looking to pass this legislation within the next two weeks (check out the basic framework here).
Of the 10 Republicans, four (Blunt, Burr, Portman and Toomey) are retiring after the 2022 midterms while the other six are not up for reelection this year (only Romney is up before 2026). I get a sense the GOP believes they can't thwart any "gun control" legislation this time around due to the fact that gun grabbers are going to continually demagogue 19 children being killed. While I believe Republicans have the facts on their side and thus could propose meaningful reforms without restricting gun rights, they're likely too concerned how the leftist media will portray them.
Once again the GOP chooses to play defense despite being in a prominent position to make historic gains this midterm election cycle. Same song, different verse.
- President Joe Biden is mad and he's NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

He's technically correct....but not in the way he believes.
Oh, and in case you're wondering whether or not Biden believes the majority of Americans are either stupid or woefully ignorant:

Translation: My war on the fossil fuel industry has NOTHING to do with any of this.
- After stalling for about a week, the U.S. House of Representatives finally got around to voting on a Senate passed bill providing enhanced security for U.S. Supreme Court justices in the wake of an assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh. The finally tally was 396 Yea, 27 Nay, with all 27 nay votes being Democrats.

Five members of the six person "Squad" are represented on that list. The only one who voted "yea?" Minnesota's own Ilhan Omar. Hmmm.
Not surprisingly, St Louis Congresswoman Cori Bush voted "nay." Remember, this is the same person who in one sentence defended having her own private security at taxpayer expense while expressing a desire to defund the police.
