I’m quite aware of America’s many sins, shortcomings, and faults. In fact, I’ve written whole books calling our nation to repentance. But there is also much good in America, and when compared to the rest of the world, America is an amazing country. It is the land of possibilities, the land of the “can do” spirit, the land where almost anyone can potentially do almost anything. That is what I love most about America. We Take America For Granted
Yet it is something we often take for granted, especially if we have been born and raised here.
We are used to the opportunities. We are accustomed to boundless optimism. We are unsurprised by the breadth and depth of what lies before us.
But if you have lived in another part of the world, you find it easier to see what is unique and exceptional about this great country, a country to which millions flock from around the globe.
Of course, our faults are there for the world to see as well, and we Americans don’t always have the best reputation with foreigners.
We are often considered pushy, brash, self-centered, narcissistic, and shallow (to name a few). And, as I said at the outset, I’ve written whole books detailing our many sins — our many grievous sins — and I am deeply concerned about where we are heading as a nation.
But there’s a time to rebuke and there’s a time to praise, and on this July 4 th weekend, it’s time to praise. I, for one, am truly thankful to God for America. I’ve Seen What Else Is Out There
Christian-Driven America-First Precious Metals.
Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
To date, I’ve traveled outside the USA more than 175 times, including 27 trips each to India and Italy, 18 to England, 16 to Israel, 15 to Germany, and 13 to South Korea.
In total, I’ve traveled to 31 countries, many of them quite distant, spending anywhere from two days to one month abroad on each of these visits. This means, that, overall, I’ve spent between two and three years overseas. And at the height of our school of ministry in Pensacola, we had students […]

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!
