David Hogging the Spotlight

If you can keep a good angry look it's money in the bank.

He’s the Gun Salesman of the Year.

. . . "At least one gun manufacturer has filed for bankruptcy, and the prospects for other manufacturers and sellers have been disappointing. But no more. Out of the tragedy of the Parkland high school shooting, a new hero has emerged to boost gun sales.

"I am speaking, of course, about young David Hogg, the lead spokesperson of the March for Our Lives movement. This kid is pure gold and money in the bank for the gun industry to say nothing of the NRA. If he hadn’t leaped forth from the tragedy of the Parkland massacre, the gun lobby would have had to invent him.

"Of all the pictures run by the media of this week-end’s marches, one stands out. It is of Mr. Hogg wearing a grey coat and dark shirt eerily reminiscent of Mussolini’s ensemble with his raised arm ramrod straight in the air capped by a clenched fist. This as he shouted his demands for more gun control and threats to politicians that, if they take money from the NRA and do its bidding, he and his followers will vote them out of office.

"Wow. What a gift to the NRA and the gun industry. " . . .

Despite Being Trashed By David Hogg, Rubio Offers Classy Response to Gun March . . .

BuzzFeed News

"I’m going to start off by putting this price tag right here as a reminder for you guys to know how much Marco Rubio took for every student's life in Florida," Parkland survivor David Hogg says at #MarchForOurLives.

"Knowing that the March for Our Lives rally was likely to feature more of the same incendiary language against him, Rubio nonetheless commended the young people for exercising their First Amendment freedoms." . . .

"Rubio, as mentioned in his message, has been hard at work to enact bipartisan legislation that would do much to buoy school safety and schools' communication with law enforcement. The STOP School Violence Act is a first step that is supported by the majority of families who lost a child in the shooting.
"Hogg wouldn't share that with the marchers because he is apparently more interested in attacking Rubio's character." . . ."Kyle Kashuv, one of Hogg's classmates, is one of few students noting Rubio's efforts. He was "pained" to see his classmates tarnish his character over the weekend." . . .

Bataclan Survivor Jesse Hughes Slams David Hogg & Other Leftist Operatives As “Pathetic”, “Disgusting Vile Abusers of the Dead”
"Hughs called the protests an “insult” to the “memory of those who were killed and abused” and an insult to “every lover of liberty”:

As the survivor of a mass shooting I can tell you from first-hand experience that all of you protesting and taking days off from school insult the memory of those who were killed and abuse and insult me and every other lover of liberty by your every action…..Long Live Rock’n’Roll….. and may everyone of these disgusting vile abusers of the dead live as long as possible so they can have the maximum amount of time to endure their shame….and be Cursed….

David Hogg's Next Crusade: Opposing Voter Identification Laws  . . . "Hogg's statement appeared to come out of nowhere. The linked article is an ACLU fact sheet, not a new blog post, or a relevant news story. Hogg simply interrupted his regularly scheduled anti-gun programming to bring you a message from your betters: asking people who already have access to the means to acquire picture identification to show that identification in order to protect the electoral process is a problem.
"After social media users suggested that voter ID laws help to safeguard elections, Hogg was forced to backtrack.

On 60 Minutes, Stormy Daniels blew her credibility

Monica Showalter   "It's said a good scandal is one a casual bystander on the street can describe in one sentence.

"Well, we aren't seeing anything like this with the media-pumped Stormy Daniels scandal.  Following her much advertised and much watched 60 Minutesinterview, all one can ask is, what the heck was this really about?

"Anderson Cooper interviewed the porn "star," who took $130,000 in hush money from Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, to conceal a one-night stand the pair had in a hotel several years ago.  OK, it looks as if the hush money didn't work – we all know about the affair.  Big deal.  What's more, we weren't offered much in titillating sexual details in the 60 Minutes interview, which is what a sizable percentage of viewers were looking for.  Cooper seemed most interested in whether a condom was used in the sexual encounter, which kind of gives a whiff as to how exciting this was.  What we really heard was a lot about Stormy Daniels not being truthful about agreements she signed, not wanting to follow those agreements, being in league with left-wing political-machine lawyers (Cooper did have useful revelations there), and throwing out vague, hackneyed boilerplate claims about "threats."  None of this impresses.

"Sixty Minutes seemed to realize this, which is why, in the second half of the interview, the program focused on the hush money as a potential campaign finance violation, citing a #NeverTrump Bush-linked lawyer as an authority on the matter.  Even if there was merit in what he claimed, the penalty for such a violation, based on similar violations from Democrats and how those were resolved, would amount to some sort of small fine.  Color us unimpressed on that, too.

"The obvious problem with this interview is that Daniels kept contradicting herself, and Cooper seemed too naïve to pursue those actual news angles:

"Daniels claimed early on that she wanted to be silent and that since all the news came out, she wanted only to "defend" herself.

"Given that she's a porn actress, it wasn't clear what she wanted to defend." . . .

Media Hogg-tied by a child demogogue

Our culture needs to be fixed.  David Hogg is the poster boy for everything wrong with the leftist indoctrination that has characterized parenting and education for the last forty-plus years.

Patricia McCarthy  "The profane egomaniac whom the left-media are worshiping at the moment, David Hogg, is the poster boy for the ungracious monsters who characterize a portion of Generation Z, those youngsters born from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s.

This is the generation that has been the most seriously indoctrinated with leftist ideology rather than actual education.  Given that fact, it follows that they are the least knowledgeable about the Constitution, let alone the rest of American history: the Revolutionary War, the Founding, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  They do not remember 9/11; they know only its aftermath.  They have no memory of what life was like before that day of infamy.  An awareness of terrorism is a sad fact of their lives – if not personally, then on the nightly news from around the world.  At the same time, we are all instructed to respect Islam and are condemned if we utter the truth that terrorism is an Islamic problem.  Young people today are taught to hate Jews and Israel but to love and venerate Muslims.  They are taught to hate men, especially white men, and to revere a host of new gender identifications.  Like the majority of teachers and professors who have indoctrinated Hogg's generation, Hogg feels justified maligning anyone who disagrees with him.  The kid is such a jerk, such a despicable role model, and yet the left media cannot get enough of him.

. . . 

"Hogg is the best public relations voice for the NRA to come along in years.  But he knows nothing about the Constitution, the Second Amendment, or why the latter is so crucial to the American idea.  The kid is like an adolescent Obama: all hat, no cattle.  He is full of bluster and fake rage, a self-promoter on steroids."
