Anti-gun Parkland survivor David Hogg just won’t seem to go away, continuing to milk his fifteen minutes of fame for all they are worth.

His latest activities include a list of five points he’s come up with to supposedly get rid of gun violence in America once and for all, which he posted on Twitter.

Unfortunately for Mr. Hogg, the responses he’s been receiving weren’t quite what he was hoping for.

Gee whiz, look at how many times the word “ban” appears in that list. But the left isn’t coming for our guns, remember?

1. Thy already do, stop lying about this.
2. We already do background checks, stop lying about this.
3. They already are, stop lying about this.
4. No.
5. Define “assault weapon.” But if you mean full-auto weapons, they already are, so stop lying about this.

1. CDC already did an extensive gun violence report for the Obama admin that showed as many as 3 million successful self-defense uses of firearms per year. That's a lot fewer victims than without firearms.

5. There is no such thing as an "assault weapon". They do NOT function like a weapon of war, they ONLY look like them. You really want to ban something for the way it looks?

The CDC has already hidden research about guns being used defensively. Next. https://t.co/VkvZUkuIIm

1. Meaningless
2. WTF is a universal background check?
3. Fine
4. Meaningless
5. It did nothing the first time.

Hey David, a mass shooting just happened in Australia yesterday killing 7 people. Did gun control stop it? No

— Dante (@xlr_a_rc) May 11, 2018

Hogg later posted that he wanted to have a “discussion about this,” stating there must be “some common ground.”

No, David. Just no.

The truth is, we have the Second Amendment for a reason. To enable us to have the means of defending our lives, liberty, and property from thieves and tyrants. Guns fulfill that role for us, and we as Americans intend to keep it that way.

The platform itself has already been shredded by dozens of people, so need to do so again. How great would it be if Hogg dedicated himself to looking at actual facts rather than allowing himself to be a tool in the hands of the left used to push an agenda?

Harrowing Tale of Week-Long Bear Attack is a Hoax, Say Investigators

Well this is embarrassing.

It was only a few days ago that the world became familiar with a truly stupendous tale out of America’s last frontier. A man, stranded at a remote cabin in the Alaskan bush, was being haunted and hunted every night by a vicious bear, after being mauled ever so slightly on his first day on site. His rescuers arrived after a week of these nightly attacks, and only after the stranded man was able to create a plea for help large enough to be seen by the air. The only issue with the story is that the whole thing appears to be made up, at least according to local researchers. While the story went viral worldwide and more details came to light about the incident, some community members began to express concerns and doubt about the veracity of the tale. The cabin [Richard] Jessee took refuge in, as it turns out, was not his. It belonged to a fellow miner, though Jessee’s cabin sat only a few yards away. “We went out there to the cabin, but we couldn’t find a bear track within 500 feet of the place, but it should have been all torn up, according to his story,” said one anonymous source known to the Nugget. “There’s no hair, no tracks, no scat, nothing.” And also… The Coast Guard crew delivered him to an ambulance in Nome, which took him to Norton Sound Health Regional hospital. “We were told to get a man who had been mauled by a bear,” said Jim West Jr., the Nome Volunteer Fire and Ambulance chief. “He walked off the helicopter and walked into the ambulance. He had no animal bites and wasn’t bleeding.” Local police do admit that the area is known for its bear population, however, and the traumatized Jessee is…

USPS Delivers Defiant Message to White House Regarding Vaccine Mandate

This is a slap in the face to the Biden administration.

According to the Biden administration, trouble is coming, and it will arrive in the form of another prolonged economic downturn and possible lockdowns, if we don’t somehow get this “delta” variant of COVID-19 under control. The issue, according to many medical experts, is that this mutated version of the primary coronavirus pandemic strain, is spreading too rapidly among the unvaccinated, and without a significant number of Americans suddenly deciding to get inoculated in the near future, we may not reach “herd immunity” for months. Now, in an effort to speed up the stagnating vaccination rate, President Joe Biden is set to announce that all federal workers should be vaccinated, or face a grueling COVID testing protocol that was intentionally designed to be uncomfortable. The United States Postal Service isn’t taking the news lying down, however. The influential American Postal Workers Union on Wednesday said, at this point, it opposes a coronavirus vaccine mandate from the Biden administration but encouraged workers to voluntarily take the jabs. “While the APWU leadership continues to encourage postal workers to voluntarily get vaccinated, it is not the role of the federal government to mandate vaccinations for the employees we represent,” the union said in a statement obtained by Fox News. The union did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News. The union said in the statement that the safety of its workers is “of paramount importance” but “at this time the APWU opposes the mandating of COVID-19 vaccinations.” The Biden administration’s mandate will not be 100% iron clad according to sources familiar with the matter, but, rather, would be an incredibly strong suggestion with some terribly annoying hoops to jump through to abstain.
