-Lurid Crime Tales-
Shill Graduates to Extortion
David Hogg
Mussolini in diapers...
is trying to shake down Publix.
...which is a grocery chain...
The baby public face of the gun-control movement demanded one million dollars Thursday from the Florida-based grocery chain in a tweet, just one day after calling for a “die-in” protest at its stores.

Publix is being targeted by Mr. Hogg for its support of Adam Putnam, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who is now the state’s agricultural commissioner. The Tampa Bay Times reported earlier this week that Publix had given $670,000 during the last three years to Putnam campaigns.

Mr. Hogg not only sought atonement money
Cold, hard, virtue signaling...
from the grocery chain in Thursday’s tweet, he also demanded a pledge of ideological fealty to the gun-control movement.

“I call on @Publix to donate double the money they gave to Putman [sic] to the Stoneman Douglas Victims fund, $1,000,000. And never support an A rated NRA politician again,” he wrote.

#1  I strongly recommend he contact Stormy's lawyer. A combined effort should do the.....'trick.'

#4  Goin' over to Publix to buy stuff I don't need...

#5  I like PUBLIX's Fresh Vegetable section, they have several special vegetables I cannot easily get other places for my Salads. ( I like Asian salads ).

And their ethnic selection in foods is rather good....I like their pickled Okra and their Indian Basmati Rice and their Spanish selection, the Jewish section is a little weird , I see its defines=d and I am not a big fan of Latke and Matzo myself, but I like to see its there.

And a big butt of Ham for just six dollars is nice and four Pork Chops for the same is good. And fresh baked Bread for sandwiches is nice every day. Five dollars for a big fresh Apple Pie is a treat. Lots of cheap PUBLIX brand names too...always like to get their own Raisan Bran.
Ham hocks are available if I ask....I like ham hocks to flavor my beans and cornbread.

This Hogg kid smells like a Lefty. And acts like a little Mussolini. Ignore him. Just cut his air off. Let him yell into his socks.

#6  He's just mad that he wasn't "summa cum laude" or as the folks at Pulix call it "summa x laude".

#7  And then I remember all the companies I won't patronize because of various stands they've taken, like when Macy's decided they would no longer carry Trump's clothing line because he said we need a wall. I used to buy a lot of stuff there but no more. Boycotts can work both ways.

#8  Seems the lad is taking a chapter out of the Jesse Jackson playbook.

#9  Hogg, like every other person on the campus that day, will share in the Stoneman Douglas Fund (whatever it's called), so David's idealism will work to increase his pay day. The fund is currently around eight million dollars and change. This is separate from ay goverment payouts to the "survivors".

#10  But... was Hogg really on campus that day? I heard he was not and had to rush his bike to school when he heard about the shooting...

#11  Someone looked at the timeline and apparently and determined he was in a classroom, went home, but returned on his bike before the evening news cameras.

#12  @#11: No doubt sent hi-tailing it back there by his folks.

Information endangering National Security
h/t Instapundit

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who was fired for lying under oath, spent $70,000 in taxpayer dollars on a conference table. The FBI also redacted the conference table’s steep price tag from documents that members of the Senate Judiciary Committee requested, in an apparent attempt to hide it from Congress.

#2  Lying under oath should be a jailable offense. Otherwise taking the oath is meaningless to the rich.

#3  Sometimes they get national security confused with keeping their own asses out of jail.

#4  There are lefties still hemorrhaging from the story of the dining room set Ben Carson didn't order. This is no problem to them however. Hypocrisy all the way.
