David Harsanyi: The kids were indeed earnest, even if they were generally uneducated about gun laws, legal process and the underpinning of the Second Amendment — which is to be expected. Those who use them as political shields, on the other hand, are cynical. Those who put them on TV to participate in a national Airing of Grievances are cynical.

Kurt Schlichter: I argue for a living…But never in a quarter century of being in court rooms have I faced such a blizzard of constitutional illiteracy, technical ignorance, flabby reasoning, and outright lies as I have dealing with people who think our Second Amendment rights are up for debate.

Michelle Malkin: America is not a juvenilocracy. There is a reason we don’t elect high school sophomores and juniors to public office or allow them to cast ballots. Pubescents are fueled by hormones and dopamine and pizza and Sonic shakes. They’re fickle and fragile and fierce and forgetful.

Facebook’s top advertising executive faced backlash Friday after weighing in on what he observed regarding Russian election meddling—namely, that the country’s disinformation campaign on the site was not an attempt to sway the 2016 election.

Larry Elder: Black History Month appears to omit a lot of black history…Are students taught that gun control, widely embraced by today’s black leadership, began as a means to deny free blacks the right to own guns?

Ben Shapiro: The economy’s booming. We’re on more solid foreign-policy ground than we were when President Obama was in office — by a long shot. The Constitution hasn’t been torn asunder. The structures of government are still in place. Trump may be toxic rhetorically, but his presidency hasn’t annihilated the norms that govern our society.

Matt Vespa: Seriously, Peter Rabbit offended people? People were triggered that an anthropomorphic rabbit and his legions of friends, who also have human characteristics, flung fruit at Mr. McGregor. I fail to see how this move was set to deliver a deathblow to the food allergy awareness campaign. It’s not real, folks.

According to United Van Lines, the top 10 states people are leaving include the blue states Wisconsin, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. Only three red states made the list; Kentucky, Utah, and Kansas.

Brent Bozell: Dr. Ryan Anderson of The Heritage Foundation has a new book called “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment.” He explains that you can see the swift descent into the denial of reality by reviewing tracts of the Human Rights Campaign.

Kurt Schlicter: Is a parade a good idea? A bad idea? Irrelevant! It’s a hilarious idea, because when this idea erupted on social media, it was absolutely certain that the liberals would immediately take a position that required them to say, “No, we should totally not honor our troops.”

Townhall

Michelle Malkin: Old liberal media liars never fade away. They just rage, rage against the dying of their dinosaur industry’s light. I’m looking at you, Dan Rather.

Townhall

Dennis Prager: Religious Christians and Jews who support Trump understand that the character of a public leader is quite often less important than his policies. This is so obvious that only the naive think otherwise. Character is no predictor of political leadership on behalf of moral causes.

Townhall

Kurt Schlicter: The most basic principle that has been dumped like a Kennedy’s girlfriend is the one the self-appointed establishment hates most. It is the notion that power derives from the consent of the governed, that those using that power answer to us Normals.

Townhall

David Limbaugh: Obviously, today’s Democratic Party (at least its leadership) has a problem with raw expressions of patriotism, because Democrats can’t seem to look at America through anything but their distorted prism of Balkanized identity politics.

Townhall

Larry Elder: A photojournalist withheld publication of a 2005 photograph of a smiling then-Sen. Barack Obama with a beaming Louis Farrakhan, the anti-Semitic, anti-white leader of the Nation of Islam.

Townhall

Ben Shapiro: Trump’s list of accomplishments should seemingly answer a question with which conservatives have been struggling: Can a bad man make a good president? The answer, obviously, should be yes.

Townhall

Kurt Schlicter: It’s panic time as the liberals struggle to halt the winning streak of President Donald Trump (Yeah, President Donald Trump – get used to it!). It’s tacky, petty, and pathetic, and exactly what we’ve come to expect from the kind of people who shamelessly backed Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit while screeching “#MeToo!”

Right now, the VA doles out more than $1,600 to purchase 6-month-old beagles, hounds or mixed-breed dogs. The white coats at the VA then spend hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars to surgically induce heart attacks by injecting latex into the puppies’ arteries and then stressing their damaged hearts by forcing them to run on a treadmill.

Townhall

John Stossel: The government is open again. That’s too bad.  One day, one of these shutdowns should be permanent. That’s because even during so-called shutdowns, a third of federal employees — nearly a million people — remain on the job, declared “essential” government workers.

Townhall

Dennis Prager: It is male nature — the homosexual male’s as much as the heterosexual male’s — for a man to objectify the object of his sexual desire. Not only does this have nothing to do with hatred of women but in the ideal circumstance — marriage — a man’s periodic sexual objectification of his wife is a wonderful thing.

Townhall

Kurt Schlichter: Aziz displayed the kind of hilariously inept seduction game one might expect from a guy whose seduction game in the recent, pre-sorta stardom past, probably consisted of lowering his standards and outright begging. Welcome to Earth.

Townhall

David Harsanyi: The day-to-day drama of the White House is often brought on by the president’s words, which are sometimes ugly and often self-destructive. Much of it, though, is exacerbated by his adversaries, who are ridiculous in their own special ways.

Townhall

Kimberly Fletcher: I have a hard time believing President Trump hates women when he’s already done more to support women and women-owned businesses his first year in office than Hillary Clinton or feminism has done in my entire lifetime.

Townhall

Dennis Prager: Thought #4…..The press’s constant description of Trump as a racist, a white supremacist, a fascist and an anti-Semite has been a Big Lie. It is meant to hurt the president, but it mostly damages the country and the media.
