THESE AREN’T NORMAL TIMES. This country won’t be saved by a “normal” President.

GUN LAW: the hard road not (yet) taken.

AMMO GRRRLL: We can't give up!

We can’t give up because we owe it not just to our children and grandchildren to fight, but to the ones who came before who pledged their lives and treasure in order to bequeath us the miracle of opportunity and liberty we have inherited.

California’s for-hire backfire.

But don't worry, Democrats have a solution: everyone works for the government.

DEMOCRATS WORRY: If impeachment fails, they’ll have to nominate an electable candidate.

"The real danger here," said Nancy Pelosi in a meeting of top Democrats, "is that the normal way of getting rid of a president---impeachment---fails. Then, we'd have to try to find someone who isn't a smug, smarmy doofus and get the public to like them."

Harris for President? Snowballs have a better chance in Hell.

“THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES.”

“There is (for now) no longer a Democratic Party. Instead, it is a revolutionary Jacobin movement that believes socialism is our salvation, that identity politics is our creed, that gun confiscation is our duty, that the abrupt end of fossil fuels is coming very soon, that open borders is our new demography, and that the archetypical unmarried, childless, urban hipster is our model woke citizen.”
