READ: Emails From High School Students Who Oppose Today’s Massive Gun Control Walkout (Daily Wire)
It’s Walkout Day!
Today, all across the country, students will march out of their classrooms in order to . . . something. Presumably, they’re protesting violence with guns, which is somewhat like protesting violence with hands: both of those things are quite horrible, but unless you have some sort of solutions, you’re merely posturing.
Which is, of course, the point.
This walkout is all about posturing. It’s not about change any more than the Women’s March was about change. Attendees at the Women’s March had a bevy of clashing agendas, none of which materialized into a program for change; the only point of the Women’s March was to label those who didn’t support the march enemies of women. Now it’s the Children’s March, designed toward the same end. [Read More]

In the wake of the Florida school shooting that saw 17 students and teachers killed last month, one sixth-grade student’s mother was left heartbroken after she discovered that her son had penned a “last will and testament” after his middle school was faced with a threat of similar violence.
Sixth grader Javon Davies and a friend penned two separate wills on loose leaf paper, writing out who their most prized possessions would go to if they were killed in a shooting.
“Play Station 4, plus controllers, plus the games that go to it, my cat, my TV, my Xbox, and other stuff that goes to it, hoverboard.” Those are the items Davies, who lives in Birmingham, Alabama, planned to leave to his best friend Cameron, WHNT News 19 reported. [Read More]

Pennsylvania special election may see recount; Lamb, Saccone locked in razor-thin fight (Fox News)
It could come down to a recount.
Democrat Conor Lamb has already declared victory over Republican Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania’s special House election, but Republicans say they aren’t giving up until every vote is counted.
The contest has still not been called, but Lamb leads Saccone by a few hundred votes. There’s no mandatory recount for a federal race in Pennsylvania, but Republicans have the option of petitioning for one.
“This race is too close to call and we’re ready to ensure that every legal vote is counted,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Matt Gorman said late Tuesday. “Once they are, we’re confident Rick Saccone will be the newest Republican member of Congress.” [Read More]
Back Channel To Christopher Steele Goes On The Record About Senate Testimony (Daily Caller)
