Queen Latifah’s new CBS show, The Equalizer , premiered an episode this week that portrayed a bomb-making “alt-right” terrorist group whose symbol was a teapot, which seems to be a not-so-thinly-veiled reference to the Tea Party movement of the 2010s.
In the episode, “True Believer,” on May 16, former CIA operative turned lone wolf detective Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) set out to help a housewife whose husband appeared to have gone down an online rabbit hole of far-right radicals ( a common leftist boogeyman trope ). The right-wing radicals in the episode regularly referred to themselves as “patriots.”
Their leader was a dirty New York City cop who helped them make bombs, one of which was set to blow up an international student house. The cop “was always talking about immigrants. Immigrants ruining the country, cutting in line, taking jobs from real Americans,” according to one of the deprogrammed terrorists.
McCall’s tech genius assistant, Harry (Adam Goldberg), showed McCall the dangerous group’s symbol.

They’ve been flagged by DHS as possible extremists. They’re basically a Qanon-type group. You know? Lots of deep state paranoia, talk of revolution and references to an event called The Reckoning, which is basically the violent overthrow of the government by disempowered “Patriots.” You know, why is it, when you want to overthrow the government, you’re only a patriot if you’re white? Why is it that network television thinks that the greatest threat to the United States right now is fictional right-wing terrorist groups, composed entirely of white males? They keep creating them for their episodes. I could give writers the names of some real-life groups terrorizing the U.S. who killed dozens and caused billions of dollars in damages last year and they were not right-wing.
But Hollywood refuses to create scripts about brainwashed left-wing Antifa or BLM members who commit violence against others. If they wanted to, they could also do a […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
