Rockledge High School students walked out of their Florida school on Friday to show their support for the Second Amendment. According to Florida Today, sophomore Chloe Deaton and junior Anna Delaney organized the walkout to clear up misconceptions about the Second Amendment. She added that it was important to ensure students with opinions different from the majority had their voices heard. “It’s all over the news right now that all students hate guns. I wanted to show that not all students feel that way,” junior Zachary Schneider told Florida Today. School administrators estimated about 75 students participated in the walkout, which began with the national anthem and “God Bless America.” “We were built on certain rights and that was one of the original rights, that we should have the right to bear arms,” Deaton told students during her speech.Rockledge High School students walked out of their Florida school on Friday to show their support for the Second Amendment.

President Donald Trump criticized Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) for pardoning five former convicts who face deportation. On Friday, Brown pardoned five men — Sokha Chhan, Phann Pheach, Daniel Maher, Daniel Mena, and Francisco Acevedo Alaniz. All of the men had previously been convicted of felony crimes and faced deportation. According to KNBC, the pardon won’t automatically stop deportation proceedings, but the men will no longer have the convictions that federal authorities used as the basis for their deportation. On Saturday, Trump tweeted about the “moonbeam” governor and wondered if the pardoning of “5 criminal illegal aliens” is what the “great people of California want.” Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown pardoned 5 criminal illegal aliens whose crimes include (1) Kidnapping and Robbery (2) Badly beating wife and threatening a crime with intent to terrorize (3) Dealing drugs. Is this really what the great people of California want? @FoxNews — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) M...

Nearly 100 recently arrested MS-13 gang members arrived in the United States by crossing through the U.S.-Mexico border as “unaccompanied minors” and then getting resettled throughout the country by the federal government. About 475 gang members have been arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency’s “Operation Matador” sting, with 99 of those gang members arrested having arrived in the U.S. as “unaccompanied minors.” Of the 99 MS-13 gang members who entered the country as unaccompanied minors, 64 of them were granted Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJ), which acts as a quasi-amnesty program for young illegal aliens who cross the southern border. Of the 475 gang members arrested by ICE in this operation, 65 of them had been allowed to be released into the U.S. by an immigration judge, while four were re-arrested on criminal charges after they were released. Unaccompanied minors who cross the southern border have continued to be resettled across the U.S. de...

A woman who was jumped by masked armed men in her own driveway Tuesday morning was able to break away, retrieve a gun from inside her home, and open fire. The suspects immediately fled the scene. KHOU reports that the woman was jumped around 2:30 a.m. in her southwest Houston driveway. She managed to escape, running inside her house. She opened fire when the attackers allegedly “tried to break into the home.” Police do not know if any of the suspects were wounded but have been monitoring local hospitals for gunshot victims.

Thirteen-year-old Vermont gubernatorial candidate Ethan Sonneborn, a Democrat, wants the state to pass a gun control bill, and he wants to be sure an “assault weapons” ban is added to it. NBC 5 quotes Sonneborn saying, “My generation has been taking an important step in this because we’re the ones were getting shot. This affects us directly and people who say it can’t happen in Vermont, we came this close to it happening in Vermont. It will happen in Vermont if we don’t take action.” Vermont lawmakers are currently considering a ban on “high capacity” magazines and bump stocks. They are also considering strengthening background checks and increasing the minimum long gun purchase age from 18 to 21. Sonneborn, who does not own a gun, supports all of these controls and wants to add an “assault weapons” ban, as well. His goal is true “progressive gun reform.” NBC 5 said Sonneborn believes lawmakers who oppose the new gun controls come from “parts of the state where guns are more preval...

ESPN’s Jemele Hill has waded into the attacks on Fox News host Laura Ingraham, with an attempt to turn the controversy into a discussion about racism. In a pair of Tweets on Friday, Hill implied that she thinks Ingraham got away with criticizing black basketball players without facing a boycott, but now she is finding trouble with David Hogg only because the kid is white. “Always interesting to note what line can’t be crossed. Guess #ShutUpAndDribble wasn’t the line,” Hill Tweeted on March 30. Always interesting to note what line can’t be crossed. Guess #ShutUpAndDribble wasn’t the line. https://t.co/eILBTkxW2q — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) March 30, 2018 Hill went on with a second tweet bemoaning the racism in the U.S. by claiming LeBron James would have been “vilified” if he went after Ingraham’s advertisers. “Maybe I’m just a cynic, but if LeBron called for her advertisers, he would have been vilified. And why do they need to be told? It seems like they should decide indepen...

On Friday, Derek Weida, a 29-year-old amputee veteran, posted a rant on Parkland survivor David Hogg to his Facebook page that is going viral. Weida began his post by explaining that school shootings are horrible but that he has to watch what he says. He writes: I’m Derek, I got shot on a house raid in Iraq. My getting shot didn’t make me a professional on war, international relations, house raids (obviously ), or guns. This horrible thing happened to me but I didn’t come home and protest the war… Even though I do kinda have these feelings that Iraq was errr… Questionable. But it ain’t my place. I did my part. So, I empathize with you and your peers because whereas I signed up to be shot at, none of you did. (Not exactly sure you actually got shot AT but that’s not the point here). Now… Guns. Here’s my two cents: It’s not a gun problem, not a people problem, it’s a culture thing. Thing… Not problem. America loves guns. Accept that just like I had to accept that America loves God....

Shipbuilder General Dynamics NASSCO opened up hiring for 800 to 1,000 workers to build $4 billion in Navy support ships and tankers and could see its San Diego shipyard reach one of its highest employment levels to date. NASSCO’s San Diego yard has seen its workforce drop by 500 to 3,100, but that figure could soar to one of its highest levels with new hires — 4,100 according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. With the Trump administration aimed at increased spending on ship maintenance, NASSCO could see even more growth. NASSCO chief spokesman Dennis DuBard says current contracts extend to 2024, marking “the longest list of steady work that [they’ve] had in awhile,” according to the report.

Amid the controversy and advertiser fallout surrounding Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, fans of the conservative host have called for a boycott of the businesses who have pulled their ads from her show. About a dozen companies have decided to stop running ads on Ingraham’s show since she engaged Parkland student and activist David Hogg on Twitter. Businesses such as Office Depot, Jenny Craig, Hulu, TripAdvisor, Expedia, Wayfair, StitchFix, Nestle, Johnson & Johnson, Atlantis Paradise Island, and Liberty Mutual have all announced they will pull their ads.

Fordham University in New York City is disciplining a student coffee shop manager after she kicked out a group of students for wearing Donald Trump hats. Breitbart News reported on the incident in December after Fordham coffee shop manager, student Kristal Ho, kicked a group of students out for their pro-Trump apparel. The incident was captured on video. “You are threatening the integrity of our club. This is a community standard — you are wearing hats that completely violate safe space policy,” she continued. “You have to take it off or you have to go.” She told the students that the “Make America Great Again” hats represented “fascism” and “Nazis.” “We went there because we wanted to test the unwritten rule that conservatives were banned from that coffee shop,” one of the students who was thrown out said after the incident. “We went there and just started doing some homework and studying. Then we were asked to leave. “We are tuition-paying students, therefore we should be able t...

Virulently anti-President Donald Trump comedienne Kathy Griffin is set to play White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway in an upcoming President Show special for Comedy Central. The special, called Make America Great-A-Thon: A President Show Special, will air on Tuesday, April 3, at 11 pm Eastern, The New York Times reported. The show will be presented as a faux telethon hosted by President Show star Anthony Atamanuik as President Trump in an effort “to raise money for all of the projects he can’t get anyone in Congress to fund – like the wall and infrastructure” and to pay off those “mouthy porn stars [who] aren’t going to pay themselves off.” Peter Grosz will co-star as Vice President Mike Pence. Griffin, who faced massive backlash and a boycott last year after displaying Trump’s fake grotesquely bloody, severed head in a photo shoot, is unrepentant for her hate of Trump. “I am kicking the hornet’s nest, as much as I can,” Griffin told the Times. “I think it’s important to lean in...

Michael Hunter, the owner of the Toronto restaurant, explained that he “felt helpless” and he “hoped it would fizzle out and go away.” Walk-in traffic was slow during the protest, so Hunter took action and carved up a deer right in front of them. “They’re offending us; I’m going to offend them, so I went and got a deer leg.” Watch: Antler RESTAURANT OWNER TAUNTS US by DISMEMBERING a DEER’S LEG in VIEW of OUR PROTEST; COPS INTERVENEFor licensing of this video, contact licensing@unilad.co.uk.

While debating people on Twitter about gun control Thursday, Chelsea Handler claimed that her armed security does not carry any semi-automatic weapons. She also stated her guards do not use the guns to kill children. My armed guards aren’t killing children and don’t have semi automatic weapons. — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) March 28, 2018 Handler added how the public needs to support banning “assault weapons”: Part of being safe In schools and public is not to allow assault weapons that can kill multiple people in seconds. Why on earth to we need assauly weapons? Keep your handguns and rifles. — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) March 28, 2018 It then begged the question, if Handler’s armed guards are not carrying any semi-automatic weapons, then what are they carrying? The options are limited when it comes to firearms and would not be very effective in protecting the personality. In all likelihood, Handler’s guards do in fact carry semi-automatic firearms and she do...

A Connecticut high school was put on lockdown when an enraged black school employee wielding a large kitchen knife began yelling that he wanted to “kill every white man” he could find. Carl Lemon, an in-school suspension coordinator at Harding High School in Bridgeport, Connecticut, was arrested and charged with second-degree threatening and breach of peace after threatening to go on a racially motivated stabbing spree, the Associated Press said. The 63-year-old school official was later released after posting a $5,000 bond, court documents reveal. The arrest came on March 28 after school principal Dane Brown put the school on lockdown after one of Lemon’s co-workers reported his rants about killing white people. A police investigation alleged that Lemon was calling for “revolution” against white people during his in-school rant. Police say that Lemon exclaimed that he “couldn’t wait for the Panthers to give the OK and a revolution begins” so he could “execute every white man he g...

As more and more companies pull their advertisements from Fox News’s program The Ingraham Angle in protest of a controversial tweet from the show’s host Laura Ingraham, The Hill’s media reporter and opinion contributor, Joe Concha, writes that if the boycott succeeds “we’ve entered some dangerous territory. From The Hill: For Laura Ingraham, there was no choice but to apologize to Parkland school shooting activist David Hogg for her foolish tweet regarding the 17-year-old being rejected by several colleges. “On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” Ingraham wrote on Twitter. “For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how ‘poised’ he was given the tragedy. As always he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion.” Ingraham had obviously seen this story played out before, almost one yea...

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” actress Sandra Bernhard said white women voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election because they feel “inadequate” in comparison to former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Bernhard spoke with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, to whom she detailed her struggles with understanding the mind of the female Trump voter. When asked about “white women for Trump,” Bernhard said, “Can’t understand it. Don’t know where it comes from…I think it’s a couple of issues. I think it’s being either under the thumb of your husband or, for the election, it was being so offended by Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton’s legacy that you turned on her. Or feeling inadequate, feeling like how can somebody be so educated? How can somebody who brought themselves up from their experience and gone to the top, educated herself, fought for rights, civil rights, and equality. And I think that is threatening to a lot of women.” Melber asked, “How ...

Progressive insurance, a major publicly traded company, has decided to pull ads off Laura Ingraham’s radio programs, Breitbart News can confirm. In addition to the news of the decision to pull the ads, Progressive–through an ad placement firm–at least partially defined what qualifies as a reason to pull Progressive ads off the air of a certain program: “Controversial programming.” Even so, despite coining that term for this, Progressive refused to further define what it means by “controversial programming.” A media ad-buying-and-placement firm for Progressive insurance notified radio affiliates on Friday morning to stop airing ads on or near Ingraham’s programming. “DO NOT AIR ANY PROGRESSIVE SPOTS IN OR ADJACENT TO ANY CONTROVERSIAL PROGRAMMING, SPECIFICALLY LAURA INGRAHAM PROGRAMMING, IN THE WEEK OF 4/2,” Ad Large Media wrote on behalf of Progressive to radio affiliates nationwide on Friday morning in an email subsequently obtained by Breitbart News. Progressives jumping on the ba...

Republicans in the Missouri House are pushing a bill to eliminate gun free zones at colleges and churches around the state. The bill is sponsored by state Rep. Jered Taylor (R-Nixa). The Kansas City Star reports that the bill passed the House Rules and Legislative Oversight Committee Wednesday by a vote of eight to three. The chairman of that committee, state Rep. Shawn Rhoads (R-West Plains), said, “The problem right now is our gun-free zones where people aren’t allowed to carry guns, and this is what this tries to defeat.” Rhoads added, “If I know that I’m going to commit a crime on a college campus and I plan this out but I don’t know who’s there carrying a gun or not, I’m probably going to think twice. But if I know for a fact that no one on that campus is allowed to carry a gun, then I have a soft target, and I am able to do exactly what I want to do within there.” Paul Wagner, executive director of Missouri’s Council on Public Higher Education, spoke against the bill. While c...

Meghan McCain dropped some knowledge on her co-hosts Thursday over why exactly the “Roseanne” reboot got such huge ratings. The comments came during a panel discussion about how more than 18 million people tuned in for the premiere episode. Each one of the ladies explained why they thought the show got the response it did. Sarah Haines suggested it was because “Roseanne” has always been a show that seemed more “rough around the edges” and a little more real. Sunny Hostin admitted she didn’t watch it during the 90s and has yet to see the reboot, but thinks people are tuning in because they feel a “certain nostalgia.”n “We are in rough times and people want to hold on to what they knew before,” Hostin added. But it was McCain who pointed out that it’s the only show on the air that doesn’t depict supporters of President Donald Trump in a negative light. “I mean I think that’s definitely part of it,” McCain said. “But you can’t underestimate the fact that she’s a Trump supporter in th...

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci wrecked “The View” hosts on Wednesday when they asked him to list some of Trump’s accomplishments. “What would you say that he did that was so great?” co-host Joy Behar asked. “What has he done, Anthony?” Scaramucci got ready to knock that softball out of the park, asking the hosts to let him name three specific accomplishments of the Trump administration. “Tax reform, deregulation — he has a new game plan in the Middle East and the North Korean peninsula,” Scaramucci listed with ease. “The Middle East thing with his plan to upset the Iranian Deal could backfire big time in the Middle East,” Behar insisted. “So, I’m not sure that that’s a great idea.” “I think what’s going on in North Korea all Americans can be proud of,” Scaramucci shot back, with Behar arguing that China has actually made the most progress with the authoritarian regime. “And tax reform is going to hurt the little people,” Sunny Hostin insisted, desp...

Former CNN anchor-turned celebrity interviewer Larry King says he supports repealing the “poorly written” Second Amendment. TMZ caught up with King in Beverly Hills and asked him what he thought about Stevens’ idea. King concurred with Stevens, saying it is time to repeal the “poorly worded” amendment. King asked, “What do they mean by militia?” He then transitioned to claims that the Second Amendment is tied to “southern Senators” who sought to “ward off slaves uprising.” Historically speaking, it was gun control–not the Second Amendment–that southern Democrats used to control their slaves. Breitbart News reported: Democrat slave owners throughout the South fought to keep their slaves unarmed, so as to limit slaves’ ability to fight back. And as former slaves began to assimilate to society during the Reconstruction Era, Democrats used Black Codes to continue to keep them disarmed. Then, during the early 20th century, Democrats use laws against carrying handguns in public to kee...

Rev. Al Sharpton eulogized the late Stephon Clark on Thursday in Sacramento, California, after the 22-year-old was shot 20 times and killed in a confrontation with police earlier this month even though he was unarmed. Clark was holding a cell phone when he was shot after a pursuit with police who were looking for a suspect who was allegedly smashing car windows. Outraged residents and Black Lives Matter activists have organized protests in the aftermath, even disrupting Sacramento Kings basketball games. (In response, the Kings have formed a partnership with local Black Lives Matter activists and contributed to an education fund for Clark’s two children.) Sharpton was present at Clark’s funeral at the invitation of the Clark family, and was embraced by Clark’s brother, Ste’vante, who has led disruptive protests in the city in recent days and even interrupted the funeral service. On Tuesday, Ste’vante disrupted a community meeting at City Hall about the shooting, jumping on mayor Da...

A plurality of Californians disapprove of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) job performance, according to a new Survey USA poll of the liberal Golden State. The poll, conducted March 22-25 and rel eased this week, found 45% of Californians disapprove of the left-wing San Francisco Democrat while just 36% approve of her job performance.
