- About 72 hours before Minnesota's Legislative session mercifully came to a conclusion, Nebraska Fats Gov. Tim Walz signed into law two "gun control" provisions. Two days later, he chose to ding Second Amendment advocates via Twitter.
We’re not letting anyone hide behind thoughts and prayers here in Minnesota.

We took action and signed a red flag bill and universal background checks into law. https://t.co/ZMv28dX01j
This is perhaps the most disingenuous chanting point gun grabbers put forth in this whole debate. No 2A advocate suggests that "thoughts and prayers" are the only course of action in keeping guns out the hands of bad people. It is, however, something that is extended in an effort to bring peace and comfort to those who've suffered an unconscionable loss. Prayer can also be utilized to bring clarity to a situation (such as the gun debate) where there is no simple, one-size-fits-all solution.
I'll say this much: thoughts and prayers are a lot more productive than when anti-gun shills use shooting victims as political pawns literally before the bodies are in rigor mortis.
- After disinviting a rabid anti-Catholic group to its June 16 "Pride Night," the Los Angeles Dodgers, after a severe backlash from Woko Haram, re-invited the group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
In their new statement, the Dodgers said they will continue working with "LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the ties that bind and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the Dodgers family."
Let's he honest here: if an LGBTQ+ group skewered or parodied the Muslim faith, said group wouldn't have received an invitation in the first place. I guess not all bigotry is created equal.
- Of the viable GOP presidential candidates (declared and presumptive), Donald Trump consistently polls worst in a head-to-head matchup with President Joe Biden. But that's merely popular vote, which is not as relevant given America elects a POTUS via the Electoral College. But in that instance it's worse for Trump given he can't win in Georgia and Arizona, two states which had been reliably in the red column before 2016 (yes, I know Trump won those states in '16, but his margins were significantly slimmer than that of Mitt Romney, John McCain and George W. Bush). As such, his path is (to be charitable) very narrow without those states.
If Team Trump had any self-awareness (I know, I know. Work with me here), they would work to expand their base beyond Trump cultists.
Alas, he'd rather go "scorched earth."
Trump, who is the current frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race, has launched a series of attacks against DeSantis, who is expected to enter the race this week. MAGA Inc. has spent $15.3 million attacking the Republican governor and just $1,500 on supporting Trump.
In the 2022 midterms, the PAC spent $15 million to support Republican candidates in the key swing states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio and Nevada. Republicans lost Senate races in four out of those five states, with only Ohio Republican J.D. Vance securing a win.
