The Beat Goes On
Democrat Logic
11.14.2026
The Oregon Senate Democrats have announced their “leadership team.”
Far-left anti-gun Rob Wagner is still Senate President.
James Manning, who is generally incoherent and attempted, with not a single person testifying in favor, to remove the word and concept of the “militia” from Oregon law, is still President Pro Tempore. (Manning’s explanation for the need to eliminate a part of Oregon history was, of course, the roving bands of armed white men hunting down black people. The Democrats in the Senate actually passed that lunatic bill, but it died in the House.)
But the new Senate Majority Leader is…Anthony Broadman.
Broadman was last session’s principal mouthpiece promoting a law that vastly expanded the locations that are off-limits to CHL holders. People like the Bend dad who just saved countless lives by stopping a madman who was murdering children at the Silver Rail school.
In a press release, the Oregon Democrats said: “His priorities are to lower the cost of living, to build an economy where local businesses can grow and workers can thrive, and to make Oregon’s schools and communities safer.”
The hypocrisy, the insanity, is stunning. Broadman has done all he can to put bull’s eyes on the backs of children. And he clearly plans to double down.
In a press release he co-authored with Republican Mike McLane after the hero dad broke the laws Broadman promoted and as a result saved countless babies’ lives, Broadman said: “As a father and a neighbor, I grieve and pray for the families who face devastating loss today. Knowing that children and an educator had their lives cut short by violence, in a place that should be safe and full of vitality, troubles the soul of every good human being.”
Neither he nor Republican McLane had one single word to say about the hero who ended this massacre.
Nationally, the Democrats celebrated their victories with proclamations of hate and vengeance and promises to destroy as many people as they can with lawfare, impeachments, and endless inquests. They have been virtually silent on any plans to make life better for Americans.
Every policy the Democrats enact leaves Oregonians with less freedom, less safety, and less money.
Rest assured, the Democrats (probably with little resistance from lackeys like McLane) will be using their increased majority to ram through more restrictions on your rights. Broadman will be leading the charge.
These people cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith. We must continue to remind the Republicans that it is their job, their obligation, to stand in the way of the steamroller coming in 2027. We have very little left to capitulate on.
