Pot of Gold won't stop calling. And leaving messages that really don't make sense. But it really doesn't make a lot of sense, in AMAZON's THE BONDSMAN, why Hub Halloran's dealing with a landline and an answering machine in this day and age. Is that the best a dead bondsman can do?
Because Kevin Bacon's Hub is dead. Dead and he went to hell. He's back on earth now. Pot of Gold's Midge explains this to him, "So you get the gist. Demons can possess people and pass as human in our world. Since you came back from hell, you'll be able to see demons and they'll know you're a threat. Watch yourself."
The demons are all around, in the bodies of high schoolers, police officers, everyone, even Pastor Ron.
And it can be hard, in real life, knowing who you can trust.
25-year-old David Hogg wants you to follow him. In February, he was elected as one of five DNC vice presidents. DNC? Democratic National Committee. That's the leadership board of the Democratic Party. You can check out this DNC webpage but what they do is work to elect Democrats.
David, and his Leaders We Deserve grift/pac, doesn't want to elect Democrats, it wants to primary them. He plans to spend $20 million primarying Dems. No, those two goals are not compatible.
Who is Hogg?
David's fame, such as it is, stems from being the victim of a school shooting. In 2018, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, he was a high school senior who was among the many students caught on campus as the school was terrorized by an active shooter. Seventeen people were killed and another eighteen were left physically injured. Whether David's actions are motivated by or influenced by survivor's guilt, we have no idea.
What the world does know is that the 18 year old hid in a closet and texted and made videos while the carnage took place. While he was hiding, others were being shot at. Peter Wang, for example, was a student who was shot dead while helping others flee the school. Peter Wang's a hero.
But we've got David Hogg today who wants us to listen to and follow him.
He's never done anything that demonstrates maturity or leadership, but he wants us to fall in line behind him.
Because he's suffered, apparently. He's suffered and he wants more than our sympathy, he wants us to pretend he's a leader.
Wang gave his own life to help others and David hid in a closet, texted and made videos on his phone.
In the seven years since the shooting, David's gone where ever the cameras are. Possibly haunted by hiding in the closet, he now needs to be seen. Constantly.
He doesn't do anything with his media time.
Originally, he was a gun control advocate.
He made no real impact there.
He did get on Dr. Phil's TV show. Maybe that's all he wanted?
February 10, 2021, March For Our Lives eased him out the door with a statement about him being put on a leave of absence so that he could, in the words of the announcement, "reflect and recommit to the mission."
So he could cash in on his fame? Not a good look
The announcement did not garner a great deal of sympathy. Sample responses:
So he could cash in on his fame? Not a good look
lmao he threw you away for pillow money, damn how does that even feel
What were they talking about?
David was asked to leave that month because he was now attempting to turn himself into Mike Linell with his own pillow -- Good Pillow was the name of the company.
In real time, Richard Luscombe (GUARDIAN) reported:
Cameron Kasky, 20, a fellow Parkland survivor, gun reform activist and MFOL founder, used Twitter to appear to attack Hogg’s actions, without mentioning him by name. “To those of you who marched, donated, lobbied, and called for change... I’m so sorry this is what it turned into. This is embarrassing,” he wrote in the first of a lengthy series of critical messages.
"But welcome to America, everything ends up a grift.”
In another thread, he wrote: “Hm, I see a lot of support for my pillow grift tweets from people in the Parkland community and people in the gun violence prevention community nationwide.”
David Hogg ended up lasting only two months at Good Pillow. He declared he couldn't give enough to this company he co-founded -- this company he co-founded only two months prior. That was four years ago.
He also made time to be part of his sister's 'action' -- 2018's #armbandsforchange. Miss that one? Well the photos are still there but the project died the minute the publicity started. That's due to the fact that most who saw David's modeling photos sporting the armband rightly compared it to a Gestapo look. It was offensive and called out as it appeared to glorify Nazis.
Didn't speak well for David then and it doesn't now.
He went on to finish college (2019 to 2023). So he's got some education. If not any lived experience as an adult.
David doesn't punch a time clock, you understand. He rakes in his money on the grift. That's how he ended up sitting pretty. First clue to the uninformed, real activists don't end up sitting on two million dollars four or so years after they started their activism.
Oh, are we not supposed to mention money?
We've certainly noted that the glowing coverage of David Hogg in the last weeks has not included any financials.
It's interesting how he can talk financials. After he announced his plan to primary elected Democrats and he got push back on it, he whined that $2 billion was spent trying to elect Kamala Harris president.
How much of that came from David's pac?
The 20 million that he plans to spend? It's going to need to be raised. Most of it. Media reports say David's still got $6 million left over from 2024 fundraising.
Six million.
Why wasn't that spent trying to elect Kamala or Dems to the House and Senate in 2024?
Can David answer that? Or do his handlers plan on continuing to shield him from serious questions?
In the fall of 2024, he was all over the media stating his pac had 8.5 million dollars that it would be spending in the 2024 election to elect "young progressives." Apparently, they only spent 2.5 million of that money.
While left wing media ignores financials, the right wing's all over them.
Such as this:
As Breitbart reports, it appears the quest to elect “young, fearless progressives” is second to underwriting Hogg’s travel itinerary and fattening Elias’ wallet. The PAC spent just $263,000 on Generation Z campaigns “combined with donations to other Democrat Party committees and groups — and instead spent more than $1.4 million on disbursements to themselves for payroll and to political consulting firms and legal fees, in addition to travel and entertainment expenses like hotels, flights, and meals,” according to its filings with the Federal Election Commission.
There are other reports of his DOORDASH bills and him paying himself $90,000 a year other media reports say he paid himself a six-figure yearly sum from his pac. This isn't an activist. This is a grifter.
And he's a grifter who won't even get honest about what he's planning for 2026.
Other liars and grifters like noted racist Keith Edwards have had him on their YOUTUBE shows and have not only ignored financials but have also refused to ask him to explain who would face a primary. He has made generic statements (and specifically stated he wouldn't primary Nancy Pelosi).
He refuses to present his plan.
So how about we look at the type of Dem he hates?
On November 17, 2024, Hogg lambasted outgoing Congresswoman Mary Peltola (D-AK) on X, describing her as "awful on gun control" and bidding her "good riddance" following her electoral defeat.[56][57]
So that's the kind of Democrat he would primary? From WIKIPEDIA:
Mary Sattler Peltola[1][b] (born August 31, 1973) is an American politician and former tribal judge who served as the U.S. representative from Alaska's at-large congressional district from 2022 to 2025. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served as a judge on the Orutsararmiut Native Council's tribal court, executive director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, Bethel city councilor, and member of the Alaska House of Representatives.
Scroll down that page. She was for reproductive rights, she was for LGBTQ+ rights, she called out transphobia, etc, etc.
David didn't like her position on gun rights -- a position in keeping with many in Alaska.
He celebrated her loss. Nick Begich III replaced her. The Republican is anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, he's anti . . .
But David's thrilled that Mary's out of Congress?
His judgment is questionable, to put it nicely, questionable.
PEW Research Center from July of last year is something he might need to study before he thinks he speaks for Democrats -- or even the majority of Democrats -- on gun issues.
The 2026 mid-terms are very important.
We -- Democrats -- need to win at least one house of Congress. We want to see both houses won.
Forcing incumbent Democrats to face a primary is beyond stupid.
It can lead to so many problems. Such as? The incumbent can survive the primary but be wounded enough that they lose the primary at which point a Republican gets elected. An incumbent can be ticked off and decide, after the election, to switch parties. We're not joking. Ralph Hall was a Democrat in Congress for years out of Texas. Why did he suddenly flip? Because he found out the local Democratic Party campaign office didn't support him and was tearing down his yard signs to take the stakes out to use them for campaign signs for other Democratic Party candidates.
The DNC is not supposed to choose sides. David's ethics are questionable, everything about him is questionable.
We are fighting each day to stop Chump and David wants to hit pause that to target Dems he doesn't like. Dems like Mary. A progressive by any measure. A person of color.
People of color? They're under threat right now. Serious threat. LGBTQ+ people? The same. Immigrants? 100% under threat.
The least threatened group? The White group David Hogg belongs to.
He wants to gamble at this historic time when so much is at stake.
He has no lived experience, he has no real work experience. But we're supposed to follow him?
Where?
Into a closet while others die?
That is where this could lead.
If he were in THE BOUNDSMAN, he'd surely be one of the demons. Kevin's show has an interesting look and an interesting cast. David Hogg's 'vision' only sees one person: Himself.
