AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee Yesterday, Ron DeSantis caused a great triggering by signing a bill to protect girls from having to compete with biological boys in grade school sports. That it was the first day of ‘pride month’ only amplified the outrage. As per our usual arrangement, the Never Trump crowd got in on the action as well, with various writers from The Bulwark expressing their outrage.
DeSantis truly is public enemy #1 at this point. Bringing his daughter as a prop for this is grotesque https://t.co/a3hSbrucMs — Tim Miller (@Timodc) June 1, 2021 Prior to the passage and signing of the new law, which is objectively not controversial to the overwhelming majority of Americans who agree that girls’ sports should remain protected, the NCAA dropped their usual threats about pulling events out of the State of Florida. Remember, this is the same organization that threatened North Carolina over trying to stop men from using women’s restrooms. The woke is strong with college sports.
DeSantis, in a move that makes many other Republican governors look small and weak, called the NCAA’s bluff in devastating fashion. FL Gov Ron DeSantis signed a law banning trans female athletes from competing against biological girls in sports. He did this, he tells #TuckerCarlson , despite pressure from corporate interests. pic.twitter.com/6iSOCGvoF6 — (((Jason Rantz))) on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) June 2, 2021 Here’s a bit of what he said transcribed . “I think as these bills were going through various legislatures, I remember the NCAA put out a statement saying any state that enacts this, we’re not going to hold events there,” DeSantis said. “And so I called the Speaker of the House in Florida and I said, ‘did you hear what they said?’ And he’s like, ‘yeah,’ I said, we definitely got to get this done.” “You can’t be cowed by these organizations, or particularly by woke corporations from doing the right thing. And so my view was throughout this whole time, we have to protect our girls, it is discriminatory to force them to compete against biological males,” DeSantis continued. “And so if the price of […]

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!
