Title: David Hogg -- Egomaniac
Post by: Hawkmoon on March 28, 2018, 01:43:55 PM
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/03/27/david-hogg-im-changing-world-uc-schools-still-rejected/

So the mouth from the south has been rejected by both UCLA and UCSD. He makes it sound like the schools rejected him because of his efforts to "change the world." More than likely, he's a mediocre student who was rejected on the basis of his grades and/or his college board scores.

It's good that he's too busy changing the world to worry about a little thing like contiuing his education, though. I certainly wouldn't want him to get his priorities skewed.

Among the things I heard in the news about how egregious this is: "He's an A student with a 1200-ish SAT score."

So, he's a slightly above-average student. Slightly above-average WHITE, MALE, student. How shocking the colleges aren't knocking down his doors to get him.

Heck, I had a 1360 back on the pre-95 scoring, and only the lesser-known colleges were really pushing me to go there.  Of course, we also had two (out of supposedly 7 nationwide) perfect scores at my school that year, (one got a 1580 and the "I was so close" was unbearable until he got to retake it for his 1600) and the other one's younger sister managed a 1600 the next year.

Plus, it's entirely possible that colleges find they don't actually want a loudmouth, opportunist busybody when they can see what a pain it is to put up with him beforehand.

I was going to comment that I don't see 1200 on the SATs as being anything to brag about. The scoring was different when I took them, I assume, but 1600 was still perfect. I was mid-1500s -- so were about 20 of my classmates. I applied to four colleges and was only accepted by one. 1200 to me is pretty much an "eh."

In the UC system (at least when I was in it), you'd better have at least a 3.8 if you're a white guy and be rockin' a 4.0 if you're Asian. That said, they do love a good SJW story so that they can show their diversity, so I'm kinda surprised they shot him down. He should try UC Santa Cruz or UC Berkeley.

I got in nowhere, took sat once at start of 11th grade, no prep, 1360. GPA for me started in eighth grade. My GPA junior/senior year was above 4.0, but the final score was 2.52. Guess who gave precisely zero shits about school eighth and ninth grade? I didn't miss much, a year of community college convinced me that I hated school in all forms. So I joined the military. First thing they do? Effing test. And class, and test, etc. I was responsible for tutoring the 31 score asvab guys through boot camp. They made it.

I hear in my town that dear old UVA accepted about 30% of it's applicants. Not a real exclusive school. When I was trying to get into the service academies they would have about 12k applicants for 1500 slots. I made the first cut with wonderful letters from my senator and rep, but the second cut? See GPA.

79% score.  Still a C. 

4.2/5.0 = 84% 

So, he is a C to B student.  Average at best.  Hello Junior College.

Hmm. I was stating the standard scale, where 4.0 is as high as you can go. Apparently the UCs are doing the "weighted" thing now:

What's the "weighted thing"? I always thought 4.0 was the max, too. Seeing him listed as a 4.2 was a surprise -- I assumed it was a typographical error and that it should have been 3.2.

I don't know about weighted, but I know some kids score 4 + for taking classes that are considered to be college-level.

My understanding is that advanced placement/college level courses that you take in High School get weighted differently than, say, Home Economics or PE. Basically, it's a way to help distinguish people who chose more academically difficult course work from those who took "easy A" classes.

4.2 sounds like he did take some AP classes but didn't exactly ace any of them.

I thought that was already built into the grade point system. Otherwise, there was no reason to depart from just using a straight grade average. (Which, in my high school class, resulted in a girl who took all typing and stenography courses being valedictorian, while a girl who took all advanced placement classes in her senior year and aced them all was only salutatorian.)

MOCKTASTIC!

Incidentally, the only reason we know this kids SAT score, his GPA, and his HILARIOUS failure to get into colleges is because he publicized all of them.

Looks like we have confirmation, in addition to his mediocre test scores, that he's not all that bright.

Of course, that's EXACTLY what the left wants. People who aren't all the bright are much easier to manipulate.

He's been failed by all the adults in his life and will end up being a bitter wash-out.

Way back in the 80s, when I was in high school, if you took AP courses (I was AP English all the way through HS, and took a couple of others to make sure I made the required number to be considered an Advanced student), you were graded on a 5-point scale instead of a 4-point.

“Some people are calling you a bully,” Cabrera told Hogg before reading a quote from conservative commentator Erick Erickson, who accused the teenager of bullying the Fox News host for not accepting her apology.

“What do you say to that?” Cabrera asked Hogg.

Hogg said he didn’t agree with Erickson’s assessment and that he would rule out any chance of going on Ingraham’s show until she “apologizes to all the people she has hurt throughout her professional career because of her immaturity and unprofessionalism.”

Austin Police Await Advice on Bombings From Local Students   

Austin, TX – After a string of deadly, and mystifying bombings, officials in Austin say they have reached out to local high school students for input.

“Obviously, we've all seen how savvy high school students are on solving the problem of violent crime,” said Jim Rodriguez, of the Austin Metropolitan Police. “Given the marches, and walk-outs, and the wisdom that's been on display, we're confident we're going to get some good ideas out of the students here in Austin. And if recent events are any indicator, students don't rush to blame law enforcement, even when there are multiple, egregious, and obvious screw-ups. We appreciate that aspect of their input, as well.”

Experts are cautiously optimistic that students will find some unrelated organization to pin the crimes on, while shielding government entities from blame.

As we go to press, the Austin police are also awaiting responses from late night hosts, actors, and comedians.

I admire this kid.  No really, I do.  Here's this scrawny little annoying kid.  Moved from one coast to the other just as he's starting high school.  Looks like the kind of kid that isn't a jock, apparently isn't academically gifted, so he's got no real way to make himself "special."  Just another kid.  So, he gets his camera and starts a vlog.  Looks like that wasn't getting much attention, so he then is somewhere near this school shooting, and records interviews on his phone while the shooting is going on.  Then he runs home for the good camera to record more interviews.  Then he joins up with a bunch of together kids and sells this movement.  We're going to save the children.  Gets invited all over the country.  TV appearances, public events.  Probably gets more actions with the boys/girls (don't know his preference)  than he ever did before.  His bitching about college is probably going to net him a full ride somewhere.  That is if he doesn't end up as a celebrity with his own show.  Hell,m we're even talking about him here at APS.  From nothing special at Christmas of 2017 to superstar before Easter, 2018.  I wish I had that kind of success...

Yeah, ummmm, Super Troopers 2 is coming out on 4/20.  Not too many people are going to boycott that for whatever bull sh*t he has planned.

Little egomaniac gave Laura Ingraham the largest audience she's ever had. How 'bout that?

I can't wait for someone in the news media to tell Hogg that he's boosted Ingraham's numbers, and for someone else to describe that comment as bullying.

"The only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity." I never watch teevee, so I had never heard of Laura Ingraham until Mr. Hogg kindly brought her to my attention.

She is (or was?) also on the radio. She's probably also on that internet thing.

Radio? Ray-dee-oh?

That'd be one o' them noise makers car makers put in the dashboard instead of bigger, more useful gauges, right?

Ya got me on the Internet, though. Nonetheless, if she's here I had not encountered her name until Mr. Hogg rectified the situation. Someone recently mentioned that Dana Loesch, the NRA spokeswoman, is or was a radio personality. I had never heard of her, either, until Mr. Hogg decided to give her free publicity.

She was one of the Tea Party organizers in my neck of the woods, and then had a radio show for a while. She moved to Dallas, to be on The Blaze. I don't know exactly where she is now, since she went into hiding from the peaceful proponents of common-sense gun control.

If you look up Dana Loesch's home page, you can download her daily radio show broadcast and listen.  I never looked for Laura Ingraham's show.  Her radio show was always on at the wrong time of day for me to ever listen to it much.  I listened on the internet some years ago, but had other stuff that supplanted it.

Now the little nazi has gone two steps too far. He's calling for a boycott of Blackrock and Vanguard.

Blackrock handles the gov TSP, and the rest of my money is in Vanguard. It's time for you to slither off to the slime pit from which you sprung,you little creep.

Sadly, I have seen some anti-gun stirrings from Blackrock, but I saw recently that the Vanguard CEO made an eloquent case for why they don't get involved in politics, one way or the other, because of all the moms and pops and retirees that could be badly hurt.

Come to think of it, he does look a little like a ventriliquist's puppet.

Also, I don't think anything will actually come of these, but if something did, well - if Blackrock funds took a hit and the TSP took a dive, he'd be hurting the 80% of gov employees that vote dem and are pro gun control.

Screw David Hogg!  Why are we still talking about him?   Why does anyone care that his 700000 followers who are mostly ignorant* teenagers are going to boycott investment companies that they don't do business with anyway?  (it would be like me boycotting Dick's) 

Mr. Hogg has squandered whatever moral high-ground he might have had even faster than Cindy Sheehan did.  He needs to just go away.

*There's nothing particularly wrong with being ignorant at that age, but it's certainly not virtue.

Jesus H Christ. Vanguards PR team appears to be folding this morning, "holding meetings with gunmakers". I'm going to figure out which contact choice to use to send them a harshly worded missive regarding what I, as a stockholder, think of them getting involved here. They should either have said "we don't mix investing and politics", or kept their mouth shut.

The stupid thing is, that Hogg's handlers don't seem to understand, is that a large part of "gun holdings" are in passive index funds. Are they going to shut down the entire DOW? These two companies are only the "largest holders" of gun stocks because they are the largest investment companies. Every equity management company out there "holds gun stocks" because they all carry index funds.

I'm very disappointed in Vanguard's kneejerk response, especially after what their CEO said not that long ago. "Kneejerk" is not a word I want to associate with the firm that handles my money.

I just called Vanguard and gave them my thoughts.

The lady on the phone said there was no change in policy towards guns; I would recommend everyone with a vanguard account call and give them your opinion.  She said she would pass on my message.

I can't imagine even the most hard-core Trump supporter would be behind cancelling elections.

Does Hogg not realize that support for Trump in the legislature is not total or even close to it among republicans?

An aside from his own appointees, and likely not even them, there is no way the bureaucracy would go along with it.

The little turd is gonna really stick his foot in it some day. I hope there's still enough media attention on him to catch it live.
