NRA Lobbying Influence Inconsequential Over GOP

Newsmax

Jonah Goldberg: In the wake of the horror in Las Vegas this week, countless politicians, journalists and commentators are insisting that the National Rifle Association has a “stranglehold” on the Republican Party…There’s just one problem: It’s not true.

Newsmax

Larry Layman:  President Trump was right to advocate firing these rogue players, boycotting NFL games, and suggesting that fans simply walk out when these unpatriotic players kneel, refuse to come out of the locker room when the national anthem is played…This destructive conduct, which sets a bad example for our country’s youth, is not so much about race and discrimination against African-Americans, as it is about anti-patriotism.

Maybe Sandoval had a severe case of the munchies that clouded his thinking or maybe his priorities are just different, but mobilizing the state government because of a “wacky tobaccy” shortage breaks new ground in emphasizing trivialities.

A Trump Takedown Would Damage Democracy

Newsmax

Pat Buchanan: If Washington brings Trump down, will the rest of America rejoice?…My guess: The reaction will be one of bitterness, cynicism, despair, a sense that the fix is in, that no matter what we do, they will not let us win.
