The Ignorant Parkland Kids Don't Speak for Their Dead Classmates

PJ Media

"It’s incredibly annoying to be lectured to by high school kids because the fact of the matter is that very few of them know anything about anything. Why would they? They’re kids. Somebody else feeds them, puts a roof over their heads and pays their bills. This is nothing to be ashamed of for a teen. I was just like that; so were you and so was just about everyone else. In fact, it’s almost universal once you get past a very small subset of humanity like Alexander the Great and Annie Oakley. That lack of knowledge wouldn’t be a problem at all except when it’s combined with today’s “We’ve got to pump up their self-esteem at all costs” culture along with manipulative adults looking to use kids for their own purposes. This is how you end up with a kid like David Hogg saying something as ignorant and arrogant as this:

The Outline described Hogg as “mad as hell” and when they asked him about why he and his fellow students were the ones pushing gun control laws, he said it’s because their parents “don’t know how to use a f**king democracy.”

"It's like when your old-a** parents are like, ‘I don't know how to send an iMessage,' and you're just like, ‘Give me the f**king phone' and you take it and you're like, ‘OK, let me handle it,' and you get it done in one second," Hogg said. "Sadly, that's what we have to do with our government because our parents don't know how to use a f**king democracy, so we have to." . . .

CNN’s media critic Brian Stelter ADMITS he let David Hogg LIE about GUNS…  . . . “ 'A disservice is a strong word, but when I was interviewing David Hogg only ten days after the massacre, there were a few times I wanted to jump in and say let’s correct that fact,” he said.

"Cupp immediately wanted to know if Stelter ever corrected the record. According to Stelter, he let most of the lies stand as truth and just tried to make excuses. “And at one of the times I did and other times I did not. There’s always that balance, how many times you’re going to interrupt,” he argued. A blatant double standard that would not fly if Hogg was from the right or someone on Fox News."

"And here’s his absurd excuse:" . . .

It's so much fun being an angry victim:

Even a teenager can be a liberal

Today's Democrat-- Party: So simple, even a teenager can run it!  . . . "Every word out of the mouths of these teens comes direct from the age-old Democrat anti-gun playbook that was around long before any of these teens were even born.  On one hand, you can excuse these teens being naïve about the longstanding Democrat gun control agenda.  On the other hand, they are mostly products of public schools, where they were taught from pre-school that guns are bad and must be controlled by the government.  In any case, the anti-gun portion of the Democrat playbook is not very complicated; it simply instructs Democrats to lay the blame of every shooting at the feet of the NRA and the Republican Party.  And if you haven't read the latest updated Democrat political playbook, just pick up a public school history or government textbook, and you'll be all caught up.

"It was both funny and scary watching the rallies and listening to the speeches of these teens this weekend.  Funny, because I kept picturing in my mind the teens morphing into either Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer as they were ranting Democrat gun control talking points.  And scary, because they acted and sounded exactly like politically seasoned Democrat hacks." . . .

The March for Their Lies  "History, it is said, is a lie agreed upon, and the so-called March for Our Lives celebrated the lie that easy access to guns and the NRA is placing our schoolchildren's lives in jeopardy.  You did not hear from any speaker – the foul-mouthed activist David Hogg in particular – that neither the march nor the burial of 17 Parkland victims would have been necessary but for the failure of law enforcement agencies to do the jobs assigned to them."

Informant provided FBI evidence Russia aided Iran nuclear program during Obama years

Donald Trump and Political Cartoons 2017

Would this be called collusion between Obama and Russia?

The Hill  . . . "William Douglas Campbell told The Hill his evidence included that Russia was intercepting nonpublic copies of international inspection reports on Tehran’s nuclear program and sending equipment, advice and materials to a nuclear facility inside Iran.
"Campbell said Russian nuclear executives were extremely concerned that Moscow’s ongoing assistance to Iran might boomerang on them just as they were winning billions of dollars in new nuclear fuel contracts inside the United States.
“ 'The people I was working with had been briefed by Moscow to keep a very low profile regarding Moscow’s work with Tehran,” Campbell said in an interview. “Moscow was supplying equipment, nuclear equipment, nuclear services to Iran. And Moscow, specifically the leadership in Moscow, were concerned that it would offset the strategy they had here in the United States if the United States understood the close relationship between Moscow and Tehran.” 
"A spokesman for former President Obama did not return multiple requests for comment."
. . . 
"He said he became concerned the United States was providing favorable decisions to the Russian nuclear industry in 2010 and 2011 — clearing the way for Moscow to buy large U.S. uranium assets and to secure billions in nuclear fuel contracts — even as he reported evidence of Moscow’s help to Iran.
“ 'I got no feedback. They took the reports and the reports, I assume, went to specific people assigned to analyze the reports and that was the last I heard of it,” he said." . . .

And of course, this collusion:

CNN On 'Chappaquiddick': It Was Poor Ted Kennedy's 'Darkest Hour.' Twitter Explodes With Outrage.

Daily Wire  "On Tuesday, CNN decided to tweet about its coverage of “Chappaquiddick,” the new film revolving around Senator Ted Kennedy and the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne in the back seat of Kennedy’s car.

"Chappaquiddick" explores one of Sen. Ted Kennedy's darkest hours https://cnn.it/2GdLeUa

"It wasn’t just the tweet that completely ignored the real tragedy of Kopechne’s death while moaning over Kennedy’s poor feelings; even the article it linked to started like this: “Director John Curran was at first hesitant to sign on for ‘Chappaquiddick,’ a film that explores a tragic chapter in the life of Sen. Ted Kennedy.”

"A little history:

"Kennedy and Kopechne had attended a party along with 10 other people July 18, 1969. Half the guests were married men, half were single women in their 20s. Kennedy and Kopechne left the party; Kennedy drove, allegedly with Kopechene in the back seat. He later said at the inquest that he made a wrong turn onto Dike Road, which was an unlit dirt road that led to Dike Bridge.

. . . "Kennedy’s car dove into the Poucha Pond and rested upside down. Kennedy swam out; Kopechen was trapped. Her body was not recovered until a Fire Department diver got it at 8:45 the next morning. The diver, Capt. John Farrar, said Kopechene had not died quickly; she had slowly suffocated to death. Kennedy did not report the accident to the Edgartown police until 9:45 a.m. the next morning.

"Kennedy later claimed he couldn’t rescue Kopechne because of the "strong and murky current" in which he kept getting "swept away." But at 12:45 a.m., roughly the time of the accident, there was no current." . . . 

 

. . . "Although Kennedy said he didn’t call for help because he was in shock, Jacoby noted:

Yet he was not too traumatized to return to the barbecue and fetch two close lawyer friends, Joey Gargan and Paul Markham. He was not too traumatized to make more than 16 long-distance phone calls that night to aides and advisers (none of whom tried to get help to Kopechne, either). Despite his "shock," he managed to: return to his motel, complain to the manager about a noisy party, go to sleep, chat with a friend the next morning about the boat race, order two newspapers, meet again with Gargan and Markham and return to Chappaquiddick to call another lawyer from a pay phone -- all before going to the police.

"After the secret inquest, District Judge James Boyle found "probable cause" that Kennedy had driven "negligently" and had engaged in "criminal conduct" that "contributed to the death of Mary Jo Kopechne." But Kennedy was never prosecuted and never tried." . . .

Do not let the children lead

Michelle Malkin   "Where are all the grown-ups in times of crisis and grief? Don’t bother searching America’s prestigious law schools.
   "Two adult men, occupying lofty perches as law professors, argued this week that the voting age in the U.S. should be lowered to 16 because some high school survivors of the Parkland, Florida, shooting who want gun control “are proving how important it is to include young people’s voices in political debate.”
   "That was the assertion of University of Kentucky law professor Joshua Douglas on CNN.com. He praised some student leaders at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who’ve been making the rounds on TV, shouting at President Trump, Republicans in Congress and the NRA “to demand change” — which Douglas defines obtusely as “meaningful gun control,” whatever that means.
   "Because these children are apparently doing a better job at broadcasting his own ineffectual political views, Douglas asserts, “we should include them more directly in our democratic process” by enfranchising them now.
    "Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe similarly tweeted, “Teens between 14 and 18 have far better BS detectors, on average, than ‘adults’ 18 and older.” On what basis does distinguished Professor Tribe make such a claim? On a foundation of pure, steaming BS.
   "Undaunted, gun control advocate Tribe urged: “Wouldn’t it be great if the voting age were lowered to 16? Just a pipe dream, I know, but . . . #Children’sCrusade?”
   "This is unadulterated silliness. It’s hashtag hokum from a pair of pandering left-wing profs exploiting a new round of Democratic youth props. I have called this rhetorical fallacy “argumentum ad filium:” If politicians appeal to the children, it’s unassailably good and true." . . .
