The Parkland teens and the media feed off each other now


From National Review: David Hogg Is Fair Game for Critics
"The Parkland survivor has chosen to insert himself into an important national policy debate. We who disagree with his views on guns have a duty to speak up against them."
. . . " For this advocacy — and that’s what it is — Hogg has been feted as a key leader within a “mass movement” that is determined to reform America; he has been praised for his attempt to “force change”; he has been cast, including by himself, as a lion who refuses to back down; and, in some of the more cunning quarters of the left, he has been turned into a walking demonstration of the need to lower the voting age. At no point has anyone hosting him suggested that his relevance is limited to his capacity to describe his experience; rather, he has in every instance been asked to join a public political fight — a fight, remember, that relates to nothing less foundational than the American Bill of Rights." . . .
"Even worse has been Hogg’s attitude toward those who have had the temerity to disagree with him." 
The peculiar case of David Hogg exposes media incompetence  "Is David Hogg, the post-Florida shooting media darling, the real deal or a Leftist plant? The New York Times provides no facts to help answer that question."

Parkland Kids: The Return of the Grieving Activist  . . . There's something truly reprehensible about this situation, and it's not conservatives criticizing the positions of activist Parkland students such as David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez.  It's that liberals are using the students as human props and human shields, letting them throw the punches and then condemning the assailed if they dare defend themselves." . . .
"But my sympathy for grieving ends when the use of grief as a political battering ram begins."

Student School Massacre Survivors 
and CBS Reporter Party Like Rock Stars   "Shocking photos posted to Twitter of a CBS News reporter and students who survived last Wednesday's high school massacre in Parkland, Florida, that killed seventeen students and faculty, show the reporter and students laughing uproariously and posing for the photos like they are partying rock stars. The photos, featuring CBS reporter Gisela Perez  (wearing yellow) and the students, were posted by CBS This Morning staffer Caroline West and student activist Cameron Kasky."

Obama to Skip Billy Graham Memorial Services

"Obama got in trouble with the left for tweeting out nice things about Graham when he died, so he’s not about to go to his funeral and catch more flack"   . . . "All living US presidents sent their regards to the Graham family, and at least three current or former Presidents will be attending funeral services for Graham. " . . .

CNS News  "Former President Barack Obama is not planning to attend memorial services for the late evangelist Rev. Billy Graham this week.


"Obama's office disclosed the former president's plans Monday, Yahoo! News reports, noting Graham’s support of desegregation and close ties to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
“In 1952, he stopped segregating his crusades and began a friendship with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”
"Former President George W. Bush paid his respects to Graham, who is lying in repose at the Graham Family Homeplace in Charlotte, NC, on Monday. President Donald Trump plans to attend Graham’s funeralservices in Charlotte on Friday.
"While president, Obama visited Graham in 2010 at his North Carolina retreat."
How Rev. Billy Graham fought for Civil Rights  "When the Rev. Billy Graham brought his large Crusade gatherings to the South in the 1950s, he was alarmed at what he saw: Ropes segregating white and black worshipers.
“ 'I was appalled at it and decided I had to speak out on it,” Graham says in a video discussing his work to advance Civil Rights. “I said, ‘No more of this.’ I went to the head usher and asked him if he would remove the ropes.'”  
"When the usher refused, Graham took the ropes down himself. The usher resigned in a huff, but Graham’s stand led to a friendship with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr."

US media fawns over the Kims, still hates the Trumps

The People's Cube


"The puff coverage of Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, at the Olympics is the most glorious progressive journalism we seen in a long time. Below are some of the media headlines.

NY Times: Kim Jong-un’s Sister Turns On the Charm, Taking Pence’s Spotlight

CNN: Kim Jong Un's sister is stealing the show at the Winter Olympics

NPR: Kim Yo Jong Fascinates, And Puzzles, In South Korea

And so on...

"Fun fact: Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, has ordered 1,021 people put to death over the course of her lifetime. What has Ivanka done to match that? Pff."


Maxine Waters Compares Trump To North Korean Tyrant Kim Jong Um…er, Un

"Even better: Waters called Kim Jong Un by the wrong name.


Ingraham Releases Internal Email Directing Deputies to Defend FL Sheriff

Fox News Insider  "In an "Ingraham Angle" exclusive, Laura Ingraham aired a purported internal email from the Broward County Sheriff's Office that directed employees to defend Sheriff Scott Israel.
"Ingraham said the email was given to her by a source and that its veracity was "confirmed" by a second source.
"It urges all staff members to vigorously support Israel as he "find[s himself] up against a flurry of media allegations."
" 'He stood with us, and now we must stand with him," the email reads.
"The focus should be on getting to the bottom of what happened," Ingraham said. "[It] shouldn't be about saving [Israel's] job."
"Ingraham said the emails continue a pattern of defensive public relations by the department at Israel's lead.
"She said that, apart from the sheriff's repeated statements defending himself and criticizing the National Rifle Association, the Democrat's past actions also garnered media attention." . . .

Brian Hogg appeared on CBS 6 months ago, appears to be groomed by media

Intellihub   "In what can only be described as outright strange, David Hogg, a survivor of the Florida mass shooting who has quickly risen to prominence as a mainstream media promoted anti-gun activist, actually appeared in a CBS Los Angeles news report six months ago!

"The CBS report featured Hogg as an apparent eyewitness and videographer of a shocking confrontation between Hogg, a lifeguard, and one of Hogg’s friends who is seen being harassed by the lifeguard over a seemingly minor infraction.

"Hogg is interviewed in the report and claimed that the entire issue was over his surfer friend resting a bodyboard on a beach trashcan." . . .



"Interestingly, now, just days after the horrific shooting, Hogg has “reconnected” with CBS for an anti-gun piece in which the survivors and the CBS reporters pushing their gun grabbing agenda took multiple smiling photos as if they were “rock stars” getting ready to do their next show."

The girl with the shaved head adopts an angry persona when on camera.

The smiling photo was taken down after The Gateway Pundit posted about it  . . .how strange it seemed that all parties looked so cheerful and enthusiastic in the wake of such a tragedy.

. . . These photos were taken over the weekend on the set of an interview taped for broadcast Monday morning. This means the students were only three or four days out from surviving a massacre in their school. In just a few days they have become celebrated heroes of the anti-Trump resistance and are acting and being feted like rock stars. In fact rock stars (or a pop star in this case) are reaching out to them, . . .



FedEx stays loyal to the NRA as gun-control pressure builds and boycotts loom

Business Insider


  • FedEx has not cut ties with the National Rifle Association despite boycott threats and pressure from gun-control activists, nor publicly commented on its continuation of a discount program for members of the gun-rights organization.
. . . "On Monday morning, The New York Times published an op-ed article encouraging people to boycott the delivery company.

" 'Ending a discount program won't, in and of itself, save any lives or cause great political damage to the N.R.A.," David Leonhardt wrote. "But the FedEx situation has now become something of a test case of the new anti-gun movement. It's also a test case for whether a major company feels comfortable allying itself with a group that effectively promotes violence."
"While the boycott threats have piled up, some people on social media have lined up in support of FedEx." . . .

Obama speech leaks after attendees were barred from sharing its contents

The Hill  "A publication has obtained a recording of former President Obama’s address at a conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), despite attendees being barred from sharing the contents of the speech.
"Reason published the recording of Obama’s speech on Monday, writing that “the most newsworthy thing about it is the simple fact that the public wasn't supposed to hear it.”
"Those attending Obama’s speech at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference (SSAC) on Friday, including media covering the event, were banned from publicly sharing information about the address.
“ 'Following the panel, the sharing or reporting of its contents on public platforms, including social media, will not be permitted,” the notice sent to attendees read. “Those who fail to adhere to this policy will be subject to removal from the conference and denied tickets to future SSAC conferences.”
"During the speech, Obama said his administration “didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us.”
"He said that while officials did make mistakes, there were no major controversies." . . .

Obama said in 'secret' speech, 'We didn't have a scandal that embarrassed us'
There is some truth here: when has any democrat politician ever been embarrassed by their scandal? When faced with proof of hers, Hillary will laugh right in your face. Literally. See?.....




But we digress...

. . . "Hit and Run's Robbie Soave called the speech "weird."  Indeed, Barack Obama's "secret" speech at an MIT sports policy conference didn't deal much with sports.  But the former president did toot his own horn quite a bit.  He also praised "diversity" and climate change science and bemoaned the divide in American politics.
"Attendees were instructed not to "record, photograph, tweet, or report on the event" before they were even allowed to sit down.  It's a mystery why organizers and the president's entourage went to such lengths to keep what he said a secret.". . . 
"Reason Podcast obtained a copy of the speech, which you can play at the bottom of the linked page." . . .

Obama’s Genie

Mr. Obama’s political career was launched in the Ayers’ living room.
Canada Free Press


"Imagine a guy in his mid-thirties walking on a beach in Hawaii and seeing an object that actually looked like the genie lamp he read about in his childhood—the kind of lamp he could rub until a genie popped out and granted his most fervent wish.
"Being a pretty ordinary guy—you know, the kind who hung out smoking pot, who slacked off in school, who didn’t get the girl and actually hated and was jealous of the guys who did—he asked for power.
"Poof—the Genie granted him his wish, power beyond his wildest dreams.

"To be sure, the Genie certainly didn’t know that this ordinary guy didn’t want merely to embarrass the guys he was jealous of, he wanted to destroy them. And not through the ordinary methods—knives, guns, poison, et al, although all of them might play a part one day—but through politics!
"The most important thing the Genie didn’t know was that all those cool, get-the-girl guys were only symbols for the thing Mr. Ordinary hated most—America!
"But too late—the Genie had given him the power to mobilize the entire world against the country he claimed was the place of his birth." . . .
. . . 
Obama and Farrakhan
"Mr. Obama moved to Chicago in 1985 and became a community organizer—entering the profession of his own and Hillary Clinton’s idol, Saul Alinsky, the America-loathing Marxist whose book, “Rules for Radicals,‚” provided a blueprint for “fundamentally changing‚” the United States of America from a capitalist, free-market, U.S. Constitution-respecting, freedom-loving country into either a Communist paradise or an Islamic caliphate.
"In 1988, our One Lucky Guy entered Harvard Law School where he became the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review....quite amazingly, seeing that he wrote not one article to earn this honor and that—ta da—no transcripts of his years in the law school ever materialized! The media once again demonstrated a remarkable lack of curiosity about who paid Mr. Obama’s immensely expensive tuition." . . .

"DEFINITION OF CHUTZPAH"

"Who, indeed, could manage to mobilize leftwing politics worldwide? Which included:
  • The entire spectrum of the American Democrat Party,
  • The worldwide America-loathing Muslim Brotherhood,
  • The bought-and-paid-for American media whores,
  • The impotent socialists of the European Union,
  • The impotent socialists and Communists of Venezuela, Cuba, and other utterly failed regimes,
  • The Muslim terrorist regime of Iran,
  • The dictator-populated United Nations,
  • The mal-educated millennials raised on leftist propaganda,
  • The bitter abortion-loving, man-hating feminists,
  • The pathological jealousy of all things successful,
  • On and on and on and on….all negative.
"Of course, that ordinary guy was Barack Obama—a member of the infamous Choom drug-inhaling gang." . . .

Oops! 100,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania

Which affects an election more: illegal voters (for Democrats), or Russian tampering?

Thomas Lifson  "J. Christian Adams, a former federal prosecutor, through his work with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, is leading an effort to expose the extent of aliens voting in federal elections.  For unexplained reasons, the officials are stonewalling release of official data.  It appears that they have evidence already that should alarm everyone concerned with election integrity.  This had far more influence than any Russian ads on Facebook." . . .

"Beginning in October 2017, the PILF began a formal dialogue with the DOS to inspect records related to noncitizen voter registrants. Requests were rejected twice, despite making them pursuant to Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). The NVRA allows unfettered physical inspection rights to all records related to voter list maintenance. In December 2017, the PILF notified the DOS of its apparent violation of the NVRA. The lawsuit filed today seeks to compel inspection of the aforementioned records.

Sheriff's deputies were called to Nikolas Cruz's home 45 TIMES in the last decade . . .

. . . "as neighbor talks about the Florida school shooter's dark side."

UK Daily Mail
Joelle Guarino says Cruz was violent even as a baby, when she caught him repeatedly hitting her son
Last year, Guarino reported Cruz to the police when she saw an Instagram post where he threatened to 'shoot up a school'
Police told Guarino at the time that there was nothing they could do  
Cruz seen fighting with students a year before the shooting.


Above, the Parkland, Florida home where the 45 911 calls originated from. Cruz lived here with his brother and mother until 2017, when they moved just a few months before her death

"When the 19-year-old was apprehended after killing 17 in a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School two weeks ago, early reports indicated that Broward County Sheriff's deputies had been called to Cruz's home 39 times in the last several years. 

"Sheriff Scott Israel later downgraded that figure to 23, amid increasing criticism that his office should have seen the numerous warning signs. 

" 'Since 2008, BSO responded to 23 incidents where previous contact was made with the killer or his family. STOP REPORTING 39; IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE,' a statement from the sheriff's office said on Saturday. 

"But according to new documents obtained by CNN, cops were actually called to the Cruz family home a total of 45 times in the last decade - before his adoptive mother died in November and he and his brother moved in with family friends. " . . .
