The elites dont care not one wit about Americas School system and school children. If they truly cared, what they would do is they would protect them. For them, its not a safety issue, its a political issue. Their goal is to eliminate the Second Amendment and our firearms freedoms so they can eradicate all individual freedoms. We are waiting to hear from President Trump who is meeting as we speak with state and local officials on school safety. We will bring you that as soon as we have it. But when High School Students began to rally, to march and demand change after their friends and family were murdered by a gunman last week, we said, this feels different.

Listening to Paul Manafort, im pretty nervous right now. The judge has had very strong words for Paul Manafort. She is still speaking and were about to learn his sentence. We are on the cusp of it, but heres one of the lines she said to Paul Manafort today. She said saying im sorry i got caught is not an inspiring plea for leniency because earlier today in the courtroom for the first time Paul Manafort did say im sorry for what i did. He took full responsibility, but the judge just speaking moments ago is basically saying that she doesnt buy his apology. He committed these crimes knowingly, willfully, he knew exactly what he was doing and now essentially he is only saying im sorry because he got caught. She believes hes playing two games. At one point, were you trying to get a better deal . Youre right, john, if youre Paul Manafort youre very nervous right now because it appears that the judge really isnt expressing much sympathy toward Paul Manafort and well have to wait and see, any
