Gun control was at the heart of Tennessee State Rep. Gloria Johnson’s candidacy for U.S. Senate, which helps to explain why it didn’t take long for our friends at DDHQ to project that incumbent Sen. Marsha Blackburn will win re-election. The race was called shortly after the polls officially closed, and with about 10% of the returns in, Blackburn is leading Johnson 77-21. Those numbers will undoubtedly tighten up as votes from Memphis and Nashville come in, but they won’t be enough to send Johnson to D.C.
Johnson captured the hearts and minds of Democrats around the country when she and two other Memphis-area legislators led protests for more gun control laws from the floor of the state House after the Covenant School Shootings last year. Johnson was hoping to use her newfound celebrity on the left as a springboard to the Senate, but even before the first returns came in there were clear signs that her campaign was struggling.
Last week the New York Times ran a glowing profile of Johnson, but admitted in the headline that her campaign “appears destined to fail.” Instead of seeking victory, Johnson moved the goalposts for her campaign and said she was really thinking about “the importance of flipping the State House and the State Senate.”
Well, that’s not going to happen either. Though Democrats may pick up a couple of seats in both chambers, it looks like Republicans will keep control of the state House and Senate this year. And though Johnson won’t be heading to Washington, D.C., she will be returning to Nashville.
Regardless of the Senate outcome, Ms. Johnson is guaranteed to remain in office: She is also running unopposed for her seat in the State Legislature. She was first elected in 2012 and represents part of Knoxville.
Her position within the state party has also shaped her alliance with a number of first-time candidates, many of whom cite the aftermath of the 2023 school shooting as motivation for running.
Few are expected to flip Republican-held seats. But even contesting some of these seats is a signal of progress for the party, which has repeatedly failed to recruit any candidates or secure national support for those who do run. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
