David Hogg Attends White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Campaigns Against NRA

Student gun control activist David Hogg attended Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and campaigned against the NRA as he mingled with members of Congress.

The Daily Mail reports that Hogg came to the dinner as a guest of the The Daily Beast. He attended with Zion Kelly, an 18-year-old whose twin brother was shot dead last year.

Hogg used part of his time at the dinner pushing the newly created “No Rifle Association initiative” (#NoRA), of which he is a part. He was able to get six members of Congress to sign a #NoRA pledge that they will take no funding from the NRA:

On April 20, Breitbart News reported the launch of #NoRA, noting that it included student activists like Hogg and Cameron Kasky, together with celebrities like Alec Baldwin, Ashley Judd, Jimmy Kimmel, W. Kamau Bell, Don Cheadle, Minnie Driver, Jon Favreau, Nathan Fillion, Jordan Horowitz, Julianne Moore, Michael Moore, Patton Oswalt, Annabella Sciorra, Jill Soloway, and Amber Tamblyn.

The group will be holding a protest May 5 of the NRA’s annual meetings in Dallas, Texas.

The partial government shutdown continues into its fourteenth day as Democrats continue to battle against President Donald Trump’s demand for $5.6 billion in border wall funding, instead of coming up with an alternative solution. However, Vice President Mike Pence is backing the president as he said, “No wall, no deal.” During an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Pence reiterated that the Trump administration’s focus is on border security, calling for the need for the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The vice president explained that the president has made it clear “we’re here to make a deal” when meeting with top Democrats and Republicans on listening and negotiating funds. “You have no border security without a wall,” Pence said. “We will have no deal without a wall.” Pence went on to say there has been no negotiation — adding that they are prepared to listen and negotiate — on the border wall, claiming that even the American people know that “walls wor...

Cindy McCain on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘We All Knew What He Was Doing’

Appearing earlier in January at an event on human trafficking, Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said that everyone was aware of deceased pedophile Jeffrey’s Epstein’s alleged sex crimes, and she criticized law enforcement for waiting so long to arrest him. A partial transcript is as follows: AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m going to shoot straight. The perception among a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, but actively participated in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not for from here on trafficking charges. In terms of this as a grassroots movement, are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them or is this a pipedream we need to address in the future, somehow? CINDY MCCAIN: It’s like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doin...
