Official White House Photo by Adam Schultz On Saturday, the White House announced that Joe Biden’s oldest dog Champ passed away. Losing a dog must be awful. I have a dog, she’s my first dog and is still with us, but I can only imagine what it’s like to lose a beloved pet. As I prepared to write about this story, I came across rumors that conservatives are making fun of Joe Biden for mourning Champ.
The most notable source of this claim came from has-been actor turned leftist activist George Takei, claiming “Republicans are mocking Biden for showing grief over the loss of his dog.” Republicans are mocking Biden for showing grief over the loss of his dog. If you lose your dog but feel nothing, you might be a Republican. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) June 19, 2021 I was curious about this accusation and decided to look around. Now, I have no doubt there are plenty of randos out there who probably have mocked Joe Biden, just as plenty of random liberals mocked Bush when his dog Barney died… but is it true that “Republicans are mocking” Biden? Like mainstream Republicans? I looked… and looked… and looked. Now, I can’t say I scoured all of social media, but I just couldn’t find a single example. I did, however, find a number of liberals claiming that Republicans were mocking Biden about his dog, but none of them provided any evidence of this, which I found unusual.
First, I searched replies to Biden’s announcement on Twitter about the passing of his dog. I found zero Republican blue checks mocking Biden over the loss of his dog. It’s possible that I can’t see all of them, but I saw more people (likely on the left) using the announcement to make some commentary about the Israel/Palestine conflict. The most notable Republican I found who responded was Jenna Ellis, who was on Trump’s legal team, who wrote, “I’m so sorry for your loss. Dogs are truly man’s best friend.” I’m so sorry for your loss. Dogs are truly man’s best friend. ❤️ — Jenna […]

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!
