The Donald Trump revenge tour is in full swing. The former president has again proven that the 2016 makeover of the Republican Party was no one-off fluke. It was a seismic shift regarding the composition of the party base, which is bluer collar and working class, and the priorities of its voters. The neo-populist moment that burst onto the scene in the 2010 midterms with the Tea Party wave reached full maturation during the 2016 cycle. In 2022, Donald Trump’s endorsement not only carries weight—virtually all his endorsed candidates have won their primary races—he’s picking off those who joined the effort to impeach him on the bogus charges manufactured by congressional Democrats

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) of Alaska is next. Murkowski and Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) form a trio that has become a political bone spur to Republicans. When there is a vote where total Republican Party unity is required, they’re dithering on the sidelines. Murkowski voted to confirm Vanita Gupta, one of Biden's most radical DOJ nominees, to her position at the Department of Justice as associate attorney general. Murkowski faces a challenge from Kelly Tshibaka, who is Trump endorsed.

Murkowski got an endorsement from the state’s AFL-CIO chapter. Need I say more about Ms. Lisa? She also doesn’t care about the shifts within the party. She’s already survived one attempt to purge her and successfully fended it off in a write-in candidacy in 2010. Murkowski lost her primary to Joe Miller during the Tea Party wave. She couldn’t care less what you think of her—and she’s as independent as ever.

The one thing that could save her again for this contest is how Alaska holds its primaries. It’s through a ranked-choice voting system, which appears geared to protect incumbents. The Washington Post had a good explainer of how this voting system works:

…

And that brings us to Project Veritas who captured a Murkowski aide explaining how they’re hoping to rig the election: 

…

In the video, Josiah Nash, who works as the campaign’s Interior Coordinator, is recorded admitting that while Sen. Murkowski was publicly neutral, she secretly supported the implementation of a ranked voting system in Alaska because that is her route to victory.

“She stayed quiet and honestly it was probably best she stayed quiet on that,” Nash said, adding that “she supports it, yeah.”

…

Some of Murkowski’s top staffers had previously worked to pass the ballot initiative that established ranked voting in the state that would benefit the incumbent senator, which also explains her reported silence on the measure. Now, that’s some swampy stuff right there.

I will tip my hat to Murkowski for being one of the few candidates to mount a successful write-in effort following a primary loss, but that’s over. This primary will be another test of the Trump moment, as the establishment has packed enough sandbags around Murkowski to scale Mount Fuji. Alaskans go to the polls on August 16, the same day as Wyoming Republicans, who are sure to end the public career of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). At least one RINO is going down that night. Two would be better.

What shameless act or felonious activity was not evidenced on Hunter Biden's laptop? Racist attitudes toward Asians? Soliciting prostitution? Felonious use of drugs? Photographed nudity and perverse sex? Admissions to illicit foreign shakedowns?

Hunter accused his father, President Joe Biden, of also being on the foreign take: "I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family... Unlike Pop, I won't make you give me half your salary."

Hunter's alleged felonies range from bribery to tax evasion. That he has not yet been prosecuted for anything is scandalous. His exemption is attributable only to Attorney General Merrick Garland's likely weaponized directives to federal prosecutors to downgrade or forget altogether felony charges against Hunter.

So, given such wild behavior, why would Hunter not tone it down, stop the global grifting, cease the reckless behavior -- and quit redirecting attention to the likely illegal acts of his father, the president?

Why did he not just settle the child support suit filed by his paramour, Lunden Roberts? Why haggle over money for his own daughter?

Hunter instead outrageously claimed near poverty. That excuse was hilarious, given he flies on private jets and pays nearly $16,000 a month to rent a house in tony, celebrity-ridden Malibu.

Why did Hunter ever get involved with a performance stripper in the first place after his past widely publicized liaisons with prostitutes? Why also with his own widowed sister-in-law?

Given Hunter has little or no experience or training in high-stakes international finance and investment -- and thus has no market value as an investor or broker. But he was infamous for translating that nothingness into millions in lucre due solely to his ability to monetize the influence of then-Vice President Joe Biden.

So why now, when under 24/7 scrutiny, would Hunter dare recreate himself as an "artist" by blowing through straws in his mouth?

His amateurish canvasses somehow have sold for up to $500,000 a pop. Both Biden donors and gamers saw their buys of such mediocre art as gambits either to meet with or profit from his father, Joe Biden.

But would not his painting grift only bring greater prosecutorial scrutiny and more significant embarrassment to the president?

Hunter Biden's attorneys sought to leverage federal prosecutors into agreeing to drop their charges -- by threatening to call in as a pro-Hunter witness President Joe Biden himself and thereby likely invoke a constitutional crisis!

In such a scenario, the president under oath, would be forced to lie again that he had no knowledge of or involvement in Hunter's illegal behavior. Or if he admitted the truth that he did, he would thus contradict years of his adamant denials.

Why would Hunter put his father and president in such a publicity circus?

Hunter has lost an incriminating laptop by abandoning it at a repair shop. He has forgotten his crack pipe in a rental car. His illegally registered handgun turned up in a trash dumpster near a school.

So would not the carefree Hunter insist that all the Bidens in the spotlight remain extra careful never to abandon incriminating drugs -- especially in the White House?

Yet in a West Wing first, cocaine was recently found lost in an entrance vestibule. Various media outlets claimed it belonged to someone in the "Biden family orbit."

One of two things explain the continuous reckless behavior of wayward son Hunter Biden:

One, he is either still on drugs or so suffers from past addiction that he has lost all common sense and judgment and simply cannot control his behavior.

Or, two, Hunter is an embittered, angry son. As the Biden bagman for foreign shakedown cash, he did the dirty work and most risked the legal exposure that made all the Bidens rich.

Yet, instead of familial praise -- or so the broke Hunter seems to whine on his laptop --Hunter gets no respect from those he enriched.

And now he, not they, might first go to jail.

As a result, does his continuous recklessness send a not-so-subtle reminder to all the Bidens -- his father, the "Big Guy" especially?

That is, Hunter is not going to take the fall. He will not end up in prison for decades while the other exempt Bidens continue to enjoy their ill-gotten riches due to Hunter's imaginative cons.

No wonder the first family moved Hunter into the White House for months and put him on Air Force One.

Is it now, "Keep Hunter close and self-important -- or else"?

BREAKING NEWS: SCOTUS ruling on guns

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court has struck down New York’s requirement that citizens prove to the government that they have a specific need to carry a weapon for self-defense outside their homes.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/ spencerbrown/2022/06/23/ scotus-gun-case-n2609212

Writing for the majority, Justice Thomas said the Second Amendment right to bear arms for self-defense is not a second class right subject to an entirely different body of rules than other rights. For instance, you don’t have to prove to the government that you have a need to voice unpopular speech or freely exercise your religious beliefs.

Justice Alito concurred, writing,  "Today, unfortunately, many Americans have good reason to fear that they will be victimized if they are unable to protect themselves. And today, no less than in 1791, the Second Amendment guarantees their right to do so.”

This is a major victory for gun rights, but if you follow the Constitution, it’s hard to imagine it going any other way. The law was obviously unconstitutional from the start, and with each passing day, as New York’s liberal policies hampered police responses and allowed crime to flourish, the need for self-protection wherever you went became increasingly urgent. Personally, I don’t know how the Justices could keep a straight face listening to lawyers from New York argue that nobody needs to carry a weapon to feel safe…in NEW YORK.

It's been a few days since some freak decided to go on a shooting spree, and the left told you it was all your fault because this toad scribbled an incoherent series of idiot ramblings blaming people of other races and ethnicities for his own total failure at life. No mystery about motive this time; the FBI was right on the case, and shame on you for drawing the obvious conclusion that this was because the administration felt this incident could be exploited for cheap political gain. Except it hasn't worked the way that they hoped. Their lies aren't cutting it anymore, even when they carted Grandpa Badfinger out to the scene and got him running his fool mouth about the lies du jour.

No more.

They are so bummed that we're not hanging our head in shame for what the *consults the moron's manifesto* green, fascist, socialist who hates Fox News did. It was like the libs were sitting there just waiting for some creep to go kill-crazy, and they must have been frustrated lately that Team Tucker has never been behind any of the recent atrocities. Waukesha, the Brooklyn subway – the last few creeps who did this have been pretty much down with the CRT agenda, and that had to be disappointing to the progs since their idiotic ideology made them useless for propaganda purposes. After all, the proper thing to do when innocent citizens are mowed down because of the color of their skin is, in the eyes of the left, to try to leverage the mayhem to disarm and disenfranchise normal people who had nothing to do with it.

…

We've seen this bull before, and we're tired of it. And this time, we responded better than we used to. See, because we are decent people who are horrified by racist criminals instead of delighted at the chance to leverage them to support our ideology, we often reacted in the past by failing to aggressively push back in the wake of such tragedies. We considered it unseemly to argue as bodies were being hauled to the morgue and families were shattered with the news that their loved ones had been slaughtered for the "crime" of being as God made them.

Well, it's still unseemly, but better unseemly than serfs. Our impulse to be kind and polite became a cudgel in the hands of our political opponents, who showed no hesitation in using killings that our ideology had zero to do with to shame us into silence and acquiescence in our own oppression. Remember all those Republican pols who suddenly embraced "commonsense gun control" after some freak used a gun on people who often were not allowed to have guns to protect themselves?

…

This time, there was no sissycon reticence about fighting back to get the truth out. Immediately, conservatives read this illiterate's stupid manifesto and found that not only did it have nothing to do with Tucker Carlson, but that it included some sort of reference to Fox News as a Jewish conspiracy. That's not the kind of thing a Fox fan scribbles in his dumb dream journal. Moreover, the mutant jerk embraced some neo-Nazi Ukrainian militia – wait, aren't cons supposed to be in love with Putin? Can't the left settle on a consistent lie?

That this goober was the antithesis of conservatism was clear, and conservatives did not hesitate to push back against a synchronized bull-Schiff narrative designed to let the immoral left lift the moral high ground from the people it belongs to – us. In fact, conservatives turned the "Great Replacement Theory" nonsense around, pointing out the popular books by Democrats celebrating it and how the Democrats bragged about it on Twitter. There was no longer the old-school masochistic willingness to be browbeaten into ignoring the very gameplan Dems have been bragging about for decades. Instead, conservatives will redouble their efforts to deal with the scheme the right way – we will continue to make our case to American voters of Hispanic and other ethnic descents. And it is working – Hispanics are swinging hard toward Republicans in the midterms, and they despise Uncle Gropey even more than people of pallor do.

We patriots are done being polite. If these prog prongs try to stick the blame for these hideous murders on us, we'll stick it right back, harder and farther. No more allowing sorrow to stop us from standing up for the truth. No more using our niceness against us for cheesy political advantage. We've played that game.

No more.

And hey, if we can have a great replacement of annoying liberal wine women with hard-working, patriotic Hispanics who don't tolerate gender insanity, count us in.

The Steamroller

The Steamroller

As of this writing, early Wednesday morning, primary results in Utah and Alaska have yet to be posted. But as the British say, “It’s all over but the shouting,” and I’m sure there will be plenty of that.

Donald Trump steamrolled through the Super Tuesday primaries, winning most of them by staggering margins and racking up enough delegates to compile an insurmountable lead. The good news for Nikki Haley is that she did finally win an actual state, eking out a narrow win in Vermont, a state so liberal they send socialist Bernie Sanders to the Senate every six years without even bothering to apologize to the rest of America. It’s also an open primary state, so it’s assumed that a fair number of Haley’s voters there were Democrats making trouble for Trump. But he’ll still get about half the Vermont delegates to add to his YUGE total elsewhere.
