There are few categories of people allegedly aligned towards the same goals who are more secretly contentious towards other than conservative journalists. If you want to make a conservative journalist jealous, show them a Tweet by Donald Trump Jr linking to a different conservative news outlet than their own. The battle for mindshare and pageviews among conservative outlets is brutal and it’s hurting the movement while aiding the enemy.
With that said, we’re doing something about it in our own tiny journalistic world. We’re joining the NOQ Report network. Okay, so technically speaking I’m not actually “joining” the network since there’s no membership for this club. And technically speaking it’s not really a “network” per se. But we’re there now. We’re working with them. They’ll be posting some of our content and we’ll be posting some of theirs. It’s symbiotic, which is a status that is often very much missing in the worlds of conservatism, libertarianism, and conservatarianism.
The major challenges we face in this nation and the whole world have been amplified in recent months. We need more unity from the ideological right, yet there seems to be more division, particularly in the ranks of right-leaning media. We’re competitive creatures, after all, and as competitors we often pick our allies based on who can help us do whatever it is we want. While we’re out here operating like private businesses with individual goals and (rightly) trying to be the best, the left is out there unifying as collectivists. It’s like we’re fighting the Borg from Star Trek , and despite the various happy endings to the shows and the one Borg movie, reality is this: The Borg should have won. Those stories were fictional testaments to individualism defeating collectivism, but in reality there’s no reason based on the stories to believe that the entire alpha quadrant shouldn’t have fallen. Resistance really was futile.
We face a similar daunting task and we don’t have fiction writers giving us the obligatory happy ending. But as Breitbart competes for pageviews with Daily Wire who competes for pageviews with The Blaze who competes for pageviews […]

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!
