I swear I sensed giddiness while watching television this past week, and a fellow named David Hogg was front and center.
David Miles Hogg is an American
anti-gun activist. At age 20, he is a
survivor of the
A lone gunman burst into the school on February 14th, and systematically shot 34, killing 17, in a senseless act. That gunman was 19-years old at the time, and as of this writing, is still awaiting trial.
Immediately, the press gathered around the survivors and achieved their desired results: record the grief of the survivors, their parents, teachers, and politicians, for sensational news and posterity.
And almost immediately, those clips edited down to 15-second bites were peppering the airwaves in a predictable effort to outlaw guns. The pious among us always seem to misplace their priorities when solving what the anointed feel are viable solutions to ill-perceived problems.
It didn’t take much time for the first hand affected to settle on a unified solution, though, and once established, publicizing it. This is where Hogg enters the picture.
Being 18-years old at the time, he has grown into what I term a “media whore.” Media whores ardently search for a microphone or a television camera to tell their story, not unlike most politicians.
Hogg became an overnight sensation because he was well spoken and seemed thoughtful, and used the words the slanted media wanted to hear: gun control.
Every bit as dangerous as a gun, and quieter
Throughout the ensuing months,
Hogg’s message turned into a focus on which guns should be controlled. Keep in mind he is not, was not, and likely
never will be a gun expert. Rather he

And so it went. The media of which I am speaking is the same media that contorted the “facts” about Donald Trump’s 2016 electoral win and distorted his 2020 election debacle. They deftly lied about up being down, left being right, wet being dry, and good being evil.
Hogg was resurrected in time for
the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting to remind
His new mission was announced as a competitor to pillow maker, Mike Lindell. Lindell is the man who overcame personal tragedies to direct his life toward God and goodness. Hogg, however, wants to show Lindell who’s the boss in the pillow world. No lie.
Hoggs’ new mission, on the other hand, is to remind the new president Joseph Robinette Biden, that calloused former President Donald Trump did little in the way of outlawing legal tools in the form of guns.
With complicit, equally giddy Congressclowns already writing House Bills to control and register guns, the timing would seem suspect, if not ultimately planned. And it was.
The design is simple: create a list of guns, ammunition, and parts that the Left find distasteful, and create a mandatory registration with federal prison and financial penalties to make a point of fear. This law would instantly turn honest Americans into criminals overnight.
So it was with interest that I read an internet story in the New York Post dateline 2/17/2021, titled “Gunmen kill student, kidnap 27 in attack in Nigerian school”.
If you missed the first word of that headline, please re-read it; I’ll wait for you.

This is where David Hogg and the
anti-gun crowd need to pay attention.
