After his spokeswoman defended blatant rules-breaker Gwen Berry, an Olympic athlete who turned her back on the U.S. flag at an awards podium, Joe Biden now says he’s all in for the Olympic rules for everyone else.
That’s the only thing to be concluded with his latest statement here, as reported by the Daily Caller : President Joe Biden said “rules are rules” when asked about Sha’Carri Richardson’s suspension from the Olympic Team following a positive drug test. “Everybody knows what the rules were going in,” the president told reporters. “Whether those should remain the rules is a different issue.” Richardson, if you haven’t been following, is one of those examples of “hard cases.” She tested positive for marijuana use following her biological mother’s death, and received a disproportionate, draconian punishment for it from U.S. Olympic officials, who effectively ousted her from any hopes for an individual medal the Olympics coming up in Tokyo. She was Team USA’s top runner with a strong prospect for a gold medal, and responded to what must have been a horrific disappointment, with grace and class: “I apologize,” Richardson said on NBC’s “Today” show . “As much as I’m disappointed, I know that when I step on the track I represent not only myself, I represent a community that has shown great support, great love. … I apologize for the fact that I didn’t know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions during that time.” Now in come Joe Biden to play Mr. Rulemaster, suddenly all in for rules for Richardson.
That would be the same Joe Biden whose spokesweasel, Jen Psaki said this last week, according to the New York Post: “I haven’t spoken to the president specifically about this, but I know he’s incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing. Psaki added: “He would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there […]

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!
