High School Sophomore Goes Viral For Smacking Down #MarchForOurLives With Simple History Lesson (VIDEO)

Gateway Pundit
CJ Pearson, a 15-year-old high school sophomore, is going viral for a history lesson on the Second Amendment directed at his peers who were attending the March For Our Lives.
 "The well-spoken Georgia teen’s video has been viewed nearly 40,000 times.



“Today hundreds of thousands of young people are going to take to the streets to march for gun control because they have been fed this false narrative that the Second Amendment is discardable, the constitution is obsolete and that guns are inherently bad. That argument, that narrative — is B.S.,” Pearson argued.
Pearson explained that he believes young people in his generation are too focused on deciding their political views based on emotion instead of logic and reason.
“ 'My message to my fellow young people is to remember what we learned in history class. Remember Hitler? Joseph Stalin? Even some modern examples — Kim Jong Un and so forth and so on? The people that these regimes have oppressed I am sure would kill to have something like the Second Amendment, and I am sure that the Holocaust would have been a very different thing if those that Hitler sought to oppress had had the means to defend themselves. First they come for our guns, then they come for our liberty,” Pearson explained.
"Pearson stated that in America we have had the privilege of not having dictators like Hitler and Stalin come to power due to our Second Amendment.
“I 'f any leader ever sought to plant the seeds of tyranny in this country they would be met with resistance. Resistance made possible by the Second Amendment. History not learned from is history bound to be repeated, and so when you sit here and argue that the Second Amendment is the worst thing to happen to America and that we need to just throw it out the window — I am going to look you in the eye and say that is B.S.,” Pearson said. “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people, and that is a fact.' ” . . .

VIDEO: David Hogg Delivers Profanity-Ridden Rant

Demagoguery is fine if you're a teen-ager.

National Review


"Seventeen-year-old gun control advocate David Hogg delivered a profanity-laced tirade on the evils of gun owners and Republican lawmakers in a recorded interview posted to YouTube on March 5.
"In the interview, conducted by The Outline, the Parkland shooting survivor describes the National Rifle Association and pro-Second Amendment lawmakers as “f***ers” and accuses them of prioritizing campaign contributions over the lives of children.
“ 'The pathetic f***ers that want to keep killing our children, they could have blood from children splattered all over their faces and they wouldn’t take action because they all still see those dollar signs,” Hogg said before describing the “exhaustion” he’s experienced as a result of his month-long stint as a political activist.
“ 'At this point its like when your old-a** parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage’ and you’re like, ‘Ok give me the f***ing phone’ and you take it and you get it done in one second. Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government because our parents don’t know how to use a f***ing democracy so we have to do it.”TS
"Hogg, who has become the defacto spokesman for the youth gun-control movement, regularly appears on cable news and is featured on the cover of the next issue of Time magazine along with four other Parkland students, all of whom are vocal proponents of increased gun control.
"When asked what specific measures he would implement if given the opportunity, Hogg begins to discuss mental-illness policy before arguing that it’s not his responsibility to formulate solutions: “I shouldn’t have to! I’m 17.' ”

The 20 Worst Quotes From Louis Farrakhan, Liberal America's Favorite Racist

Townhall  "David Duke and Richard Spencer have small numbers of fringe supporters and they’re considered to be pariahs on the Right. Just to give you a rough idea of their support, even the unreliable and highly suspect Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that there are only somewhere between 5,000-8,000 KKK members in the United States. In other words, those numbers could be high by a substantial amount. In addition, Duke and Spencer are universally reviled by every mainstream conservative publication and no Republican in Congress wants to be associated with them. In fact, the only reason anyone talks about either of them at all is because the liberal media incessantly builds them up and amplifies their message in an effort to tie them to Republicans who want nothing to do with them. 

"On the other hand, the dishonorable Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam is estimated to have somewhere between 20,000-50,000 members. Farrakhan has met with a number of liberal celebrities including Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Ice Cube, Chuck D, Ludacris, 50 Cent, DMX, T.I., Busta Rhymes, C Lo Green, Kendrick Lamar, The Game, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Jada Pinkett and Will Smith. Left-wing social media network Twitter, which has made a big deal about publicly pulling the accounts of prominent racists, has allowed Farrakhan’s account to stay up. At least seven Democrats, including “California Reps. Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee, Illinois Rep. Danny Davis, Indiana Rep. Andre Carson, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, New York Rep. Gregory Meeks and Texas Rep. Al Green” have taken meetings with Farrakhan while in Congress and there are many other prominent Dems (including Rahm Emanuel) who have cozied up to him. Even former President Barack Obama is connected to Farrakhan. Not only did he take a side by side smiling picture with him, the Nation of Islam has actually worked on his political campaigns. " . . .


"All of this is despite Farrakhan openly preaching his hatred of whites, Jews and America for decades. " . . .

Can Trump win back his base after signing the abominable spending bill?

In my book, this was a tactical retreat, not a strategic surrender.It is up to conservatives to determine how great the losses from that retreat will be.  If we stay home in November and hand the House to Nancy Pelosi and maybe even the Senate to Chuck Schumer, and Trump is impeached, will the satisfaction of "teaching him a lesson" compensate for the inevitable results?

Thomas Lifson  "I, too, wish President Trump had vetoed that spending bill that put smiles on the faces of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and permitted them to gloat openly.  The only reason for his cave-in that I find credible is what he said: that the huge spending increase for our now depleted military cannot wait.  Our airplanes and helicopters are falling from the skies, and roughly half of some aircraft models are not airworthy, some of them suffering cannibalization of their parts to keep the rest flying.

"I suspect that his attention now is focused on the pending talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and he absolutely requires a credible threat to use our military.  Iran and other bad actors are watching closely, and military weakness going into those talks would be my priority if the responsibility were on my shoulders.
"But what do we, his base, want to happen?
"Is revenge against Trump worth handing Congress to the Democrats?  Would it be so satisfying to see Trump impeached and therefore punished for allowing half a year of terrible spending to take place?  (This was not even a full-year budget bill.) . . ."
. . . "So what can Trump do?" . . .

But on the other hand...



What just happened? Trump got rolled.  . . . "We all grasp the deadly seriousness of needed funds for our Obama-decimated military, and it is easy to believe that it was Secretary Mattis who begged Trump to sign the bill.  But was beginning to rebuild our armed forces worth the level of wasteful spending in this bill and the indebtedness of the next several generations who have yet to be born?  Hard to know.  We do know that the best defense is a deterrent to war, but the bill Trump signed is a monstrosity for conservatives, a dream come true for progressives who are dedicated to bringing about America's decline.


"As Schumer so gleefully commented, the Democrats have done better under Trump than they did Obama!" . . .
