The Biden administration has an agenda when it comes to promoting the LGBT cause. It’s an agenda which is fierce, but not always so well-thought out. That somebody wasn’t thinking things through is really the only way to best explain why somebody thought it would be a good idea for the U.S. and U.K. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag in, of all places, the Arab Gulf, where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death. As Natasha Turak reported for CNBC, ” U.S. and UK embassies in the UAE face backlash after flying rainbow pride flag in historic regional first .” The UAE is actually one of the more liberal countries in the region.

Today, we are flying the rainbow flag to affirm our pride in the UK’s diversity and our values of equality, inclusion and freedom. #Pride2021 pic.twitter.com/dv3Lgl1SIV — UKinUAE ???????? (@ukinuae) June 28, 2021 As one more way in which the Biden administration stands in stark contrast from the Trump administration, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has not only allowed for other flags be flown on the same flag pole as the American flag, he’s encouraged it. The rainbow pride flag isn’t the only one, but the Black Lives Matter flag was flown as well, following the anniversary of the death of George Floyd.
In late May, around the time of that one-year anniversary and the start of Pride Month, which just came to an end, Republican members of Congress introduced the Stars and Stripes Act of 2021 which I reported on here.
As I mentioned in such reporting , an April report from Financial Times referenced this crucial information: The internal State Department cable also noted that in some countries, a U.S. embassy flying the […]

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!
