Parkland Student Calls For Boycott Of MSNBC Advertisers After Former Contributor Attacks Him

Karma? 


Tony Branco

Daily Caller  "Parkland student David Hogg has led a boycott of advertisers on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show after she criticized him for complaining about being rejected by certain colleges.
"Now, MSNBC may get the same treatment over a tweet from former contributor Kurt Eichenwald.
"Eichenwald attacked and insulted Parkland student Kyle Kashuv in a tweet: “You continue to disappoint.Trafficking in fantasies, fine. Your followers are infantile, your only form of debate is insult. And you wonder why I have no respect for you.”
"The attack came after Eichenwald called for civility in the gun control conversation and to keep the harassment of the kids out of it.

Heaven Or Hell: Take Your Choice


"Last week, I was driving south from Hattiesburg to Biloxi on my way to spend a couple of days on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I decided to take a different route than my usual trek south on US Highway 49. Instead, I took Interstate 59 to MS Highway 53. About a mile or two after taking the exit, I came upon Juniper Grove Road. It led me to Juniper Grove Baptist Church, which sits in front of a graveyard where my cousin Theodore Gilmore Bilbo is buried. I decided to pull over and visit his gravesite, given that I had never been and that Bilbo is my most infamous relative. As I approached the church, I saw a sign that read, “Life has many choices. Eternity has 2. What is yours? Heaven or hell?' ” . . .
. . . 
"His tomb does not say it, but the full title of Bilbo’s 1946 book was, “Take Your Choice: Separation or Mongrelization.” In the book, Bilbo argued that the survival of our nation hinged upon whether we would be able to prevent the large scale mixing of the races. He feared that a breakdown of racial barriers would result in racial intermarrying, which, in turn, would produce a nation that was no longer black and white – but instead a nation of “mongrels.” He considered this to be a threat to the integrity of the white race. He also argued that it was a threat to the integrity of the black race. 

"You’ve probably heard such calls for racial purity before. Muhammad Ali would echo them years later – and would be given a pass by a fawning media willing to forgive anything he said after he refused service in the Vietnam War. But coming from Bilbo it was more dangerous. " . . .

Does the Pope Believe in Hell?

See the source imagePat Buchanan  "Pope Declares No Hell?" So ran the riveting headline on the Drudge Report of Holy Thursday.

"Drudge quoted this exchange, published in La Repubblica, between Pope Francis and his atheist friend, journalist Eugenio Scalfari.

"Scalfari: "What about bad souls? Where are they punished?"

"Bad souls "are not punished," Pope Francis is quoted, "those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls."

"On the first Holy Thursday, Judas betrayed Christ. And of Judas the Lord said, "Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man shall be betrayed; it were better for him if that man had never been born."

"Did the soul of Judas, and those of the monstrous evildoers of history, "just fade away," as General MacArthur said of old soldiers? If there is no hell, is not the greatest deterrent to the worst of sins removed?

"What did Christ die on the cross to save us from?*

"If Francis made such a statement, it would be rank heresy. " . . .Full article

Make the Democrats pay for stalling Trump’s nominees

Power Line  "The Senate is sitting on 78 of President Trump’s nominees who have already been passed out of committee but can’t get a floor vote. Chuck Schumer and his loyal band of Democrats accomplish this obstruction by objecting to unanimous consent that a nomination be taken up. This triggers a motion for cloture which brings with it 30 hours of floor debate.


"The Wall Street Journal, in an editorial denouncing the Democrats’ practice, notes that cloture votes used to be almost unheard of for nominations other than judges. At this point in the past four presidencies combined, only 15 executive-branch nominees had been confirmed after cloture. In the current Congress, Democrats have already invoked cloture on more than 50 Trump nominees.
"Consequently, 43 percent of Trump’s nominees await confirmation, according to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And there have been 102 fewer confirmations so far than in even the slowest recent administration.
"Why the Schumer stall? It’s not because Trump’s nominees are unqualified or too extreme. Last week, the Dems blocked Richard Grenell, who was nominated in September to be ambassador to Germany, a rather important post. Grenell is the longest-serving U.S. spokesman at the United Nations. He’s openly gay and has the backing of some liberal groups.
"The Democrats are blocking Grenell and so many others as part of their “resistance” to Trump. It’s that simple. As the Wall Street Journal puts it, “their goal is simply to slow the formation of a GOP government. . . .”
"What to do? Try to change the rules requiring 30 hours of floor debate, a move that should have been made months ago. " . . .

Laura Ingraham Show Loses Several Sponsors (So Far) For The Most Minor Of Offenses

RedState  
. . . "It wasn’t that bad.
"The danger here is twofold.
"First of all, it suggests that if you disagree with someone, particularly politically, you can weaponize social media to harmfully affect their livelihood.
"This isn’t a new thing, actually, but it is no more acceptable. It’s a form of bullying.
"Second of all – and possibly most important – a horrible lesson is being taught to kids like Hogg. They’re not being taught to face criticism or opposition head-on.
"Not everything is an offense that requires you lash out. Nor do you always get the results you expect.
"We’re in a post-maturity era, where perceived slights are taken so seriously that it becomes a national outrage.
"Speaking as someone who has issues with Ingraham’s slavish Trump defense, I can say I’m no fan, but she shouldn’t lose all her sponsors over tweeting out a story about Hogg’s stunted college ambitions.
"Ingraham has tweeted out an apology, in response.

'You know who started the second amendment?" King then asked. "It was southern senators so they could ward off slave uprisings.""When TMZ pushed King on whether his claim is true, he told the interviewer to "read the history."" 'That's how the Second Amendment started," King said. "And the NRA is the worst.' "

 Chicago youth stage ‘die-in’ in City Hall to demand defunding of $95 mill cop academy, more community resources . . . "Today, members of the #NoCopAcademy — a movement led by Black youth in Chicago but fueled and organized by a group of multiracial youth— took over Chicago’s City Hall, 121 N. LaSalle Dr., to demand that the mayor invests in black and brown communities and resources for the youth." . . .

This is in no way a condoning of the shooting death of the young man shot because his cell phone was thought to be a gun. But I have to believe Black Lives Matter supporters chanting "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!", and the cold blooded murder of those five Dallas policemen has caused our police to assume the worst in encounters of this sort. 
What a choice to have to make: will I die and leave my family alone, or live to have my home and family threatened and hated by Democrat politicians, Beyonce', student activists and the non-Fox media?

David Hogg Is Quickly Learning How to Be a Bully


"When is it okay to talk back to someone who keeps falsely branding you a murderer? Well, that depends on whether he's being funded by Republicans or Democrats.
"Ever since the shooting last month at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., a student named David Hogg has become the new face of the gun-confiscation movement. He's everywhere you look, telling you that if you disagree with him, you've got blood on your hands. If you've managed to miss his schtick, here's a quick recap from David Rutz at the Washington Free Beacon:" . . . 



. . . "That's right: The 17-year-old boy is calling for a boycott of insurance companies and Sleep Number beds.
"I'm sure Hogg thinks he's Speaking Truth to Power™. But what he's really doing is abusing his newfound power to lash out at someone who bruised his ego. This isn't about protecting people from gun violence. This is about his pride.
"In other words, he's acting like a 17-year-old kid. Which is why I never took him seriously in the first place.
"No, adults shouldn't be picking on schoolchildren. No, David Hogg didn't do a Nazi salute at that rally. No, he's not actually 25 years old. No, he's not a "crisis actor."
"And no, adults shouldn't be using kids as human shields in the first place, in a cynical attempt to deflect criticism of their political agenda." . . .

David Hogg, who initially flubbed the speeches his FBI swampist father had apparently provided, is a brainwashed child of the left-wing Deep State.  Hogg seems to view the NRA as the New Jew, the all-purpose scapegoat that can be blamed for everything.
HIGH ON THE HOGG: Parkland Teen Hogg Refuses to Accept Laura Ingraham Apology – UNTIL SHE DENOUNCES FOX NEWS
"(Gateway Pundit) – As previously reported, crazed liberal and anti-gun activist 17-year-old David Hogg unleashed a boycott rampage after Laura Ingraham tweeted about his college rejections.
"David Hogg, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has been rejected by numerous colleges as of late.
"Maybe the high school senior should attend his classes rather than being truant."   Hat tip to TeaParty.org

@davidhogg111
I 100% agree an apology in an effort just to save your advertisers is not enough. I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children.

So since it's presently useful you are now an untouchable child, David?


‘PICK ONE’! Kyle Kashuv DROPS MIC on David Hogg for playing the ‘children’ card
Hogg’s been getting dragged — rightly so — for talking out of both sides of his mouth. Hard to take someone seriously who says “love thy neighbor” with the same voice he used to call the NRA “pathetic f*ckers that want to keep killing our children.” And speaking of children, Kyle Kashuv has another bone to pick with Hogg:
