New in PJ Media:
The Democrats have just had their annual winter meeting, and you’d think that after all the losses they’ve suffered, they would have seized the opportunity to make a course correction. The American people have let them know in no uncertain terms that they’ve had enough of what they’re selling, and yet their only response has been to promise to sell more of it.
On Saturday, I wrote here about their selection of far-left Trump hater Ken Martin as the new chair of the Democratic National Committee, but one of the DNC vice chairs makes Martin look as if he walks around wearing a MAGA hat. The Dems have chosen as one of their primary front beings none other than David Hogg, the arrogant and self-infatuated young far-leftist who shot to fame in 2018 after being inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida when a deranged former student murdered seventeen people there.
As Matt Margolis noted, Hogg is “that kid who earned notoriety after the Parkland school shooting back in 2018, whose 15 minutes of fame expired years ago,” but who “just won’t go away.” Ever since the shooting, Hogg has become a vocal and energetic advocate for disarming Americans in the face of rising crime and Democrat mayors who care little or nothing for the safety and well-being of their constituents. But Hogg isn’t content simply with leaving Americans defenseless in an increasingly dangerous environment.
Fox News reported Sunday that Hogg has also said: “Defund the police not USPS,” as well as “Abolish ICE.” So in David Hogg’s perfect America, ordinary citizens wouldn’t have guns, the police would be defunded and perhaps nonexistent, and there would be no border security at all. David Hogg has also said: “The NRA needs to be designated a terrorist organization for the role their supporters played in staging an insurrectionist coup.”
Now, David Hogg is 24 years old. He has little life experience, and is only famous in the first place because he was at the scene of a crime. He clearly has no idea what the real world is like, and doesn’t realize that if the people are disarmed, the police defunded, and the border open, society as he knows it would collapse entirely.
If he were a low-level employee somewhere, pontificating to his colleagues at the office, they might regard him as a bit of an arrogant know-it-all, but essentially harmless. But instead, the Democrats have just given Hogg a massive platform from which to spout his immature and unrealistic views.
It’s revealing. Hogg may be a silly kid who doesn’t realize how destructive the positions he advocates really are, but older and wiser Democrats — okay, older Democrats, as it’s clear that there are no wise ones — must know. Many leading Democrats did retreat from radical defund-the-police positions, not because they cared about ordinary people, but because they saw what a losing issue it was.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Just another spineless snowflake spouting off useless gibberish. If Hogg thinks he has what it takes to get all the guns,,,,, then come n get ya some.

Did we ever find out why Davie’s “retired” FBI daddy kept him home that day?
Marzi says
Davie was in a closet in the school broadcasting from his phone. The police told the main stream press that they didn’t enter the school because they were told they were actors.
somehistory says
“On the day of the shooting, I got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as I could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as I could because I knew that this could not be another mass shooting.”
hogg said it to CBS, but snopes says it’s just a “conspiracy theory” that he was at home during the shooting.

Dave was treated w/ kid gloves by Harris Faulkner in an interview, and then swooned upon by Ronna McDaniel. That was my first sign that the RNC was in trouble while she was the one running it
His father was/is FBI, and mom an employee of ABC. Perfect Leftist parents, and he milked the Parkland atrocity all the way to the top. Essentially, he’s a new male AOC. Except that he would be unelectable in Florida, even in Broward Country, where he went to school. However, on Wiki, it says that his family has relocated to DC, so that seems a good place for him
Other than just being there at the scene of a crime, he did try to take a stab at business in real life by starting a company called “Good Pillow”, which was supposed to take on Mike Lindell’s “MyPillow”. In 2021, he quit that venture, releasing all his stakes in that company to his business partner. I have no idea how that company has been doing ever since, but I still see MyPillow advertized on almost every other Conservative commentator’s show
somehistory says
And Florida says, “good riddance.”
Andrew says
I like to refer to him as Boss Hogg from the Dukes of Hazzard
David M says
If you study David Hogg a little the only conclusion you can make is he is an absolute nut job. Tells you a little about the Democrats they would pick him for anything.
Blougeoisie says
No wonder they don’t get tariffs
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The Parkland High School shooting was the best thing that happened for him in his political career: he did an excellent job milking it for all it was worth. I’m sure that the families of his deceased schoolmates are very proud of him 👿
James Lincoln says
I remember, just after the 2024 US Presidential Election, that many America First Republicans stated that the current crop of Democrats will have “learned nothing”. At the time, I thought maybe they would learn “a little something”, but I was wrong:
They have learned NOTHING!
Even crazy James Carville said that they had a problem with getting “their message out” prior to the election.
The truth is that the vast majority of the American people just DID NOT LIKE their message! And the Democrats absolutely FAIL to acknowledge this fact.
Fox News just posted an article about how totally crazy the current Democrats are:
