Fox News host Laura Ingraham sparked a firestorm yesterday after attacking Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg on Twitter:

Hogg's response was to call for a boycott of her show's advertisers:

And so far on Thursday, the boycott threats have caught on with multiple advertisers dropping out including TripAdvisor, Nutrish and Wayfair.

Which led Ingraham to issue Hogg an apology:

"On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland."

But Hogg is not having it.

He tweeted not long after Ingraham's "apology" that the only way he'll accept it is if she "denounce[s] the way your network has treated my friends and I in this fight."

And he did not back down from his call for boycotts.

People had Hogg's back and it doesn't look like the boycott fight is settling down in the wake of her apology.

Some joined Hogg in shaming Ingraham for her less than sincere apology.

And one Twitter user wondered what would happen once the dust settles:

Trump's Dismissive Reaction To Concerns About Insider Trading Amid His War With Iran Speaks Infuriating Volumes

In an article for CounterPunch titled "Trump’s Casino Royale: The Iran War," Matthew Stevenson wrote:

"Given that Donald Trump conceives of the presidency as a casino—why else would he be trying to makeover the White House to look like the Bellagio?—it makes sense that his administration has turned the war with Iran into an insider-trading scheme."
"It used to be that wars were fought to make 'the world safe for democracy' or 'to end all wars' (a World War I expression), but now wars are fought so that Trump insiders can get rich quick in prediction markets or to help the president’s family (and its remittance men) corner the Persian Gulf oil market."

Pointing out who is profiting off inflating oil prices and creating false scarcity, Stevenson added:
