It was November of 2017 when Devin Patrick Kelley shot and killed 26 people and wounded 22 more at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, just east of San Antonio. Leftist ghouls like Chelsea Handler laid the blame at the feet of Republicans : Innocent people go to church on Sunday to honor their God, and while doing so, get shot in killed. What country? America. Why? Republicans.
— Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) November 5, 2017 Now, a judge has ruled that the federal government bears 60 percent of the liability in a suit brought by survivors and relatives who claimed that Kelley should not have been able to purchase the firearms he used, clearing a background check despite a disqualifying offense when he was serving in the Air Force. It turned out that Kelley had not been entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), so the system failed. Big ruling from Judge Rodriguez (W.D. Tex.):
After a bench trial, he’s ruled that the federal government is 60% responsible under the Federal Tort Claims Act for the 2017 Sutherland Springs shooting, and will hold a separate trial to determine damages: https://t.co/PVkEnnkeFb pic.twitter.com/qAnZNSR0Eq

Wow.
— Edmond Guidry (@edmondguidry) July 7, 2021 The government failed to report this murderous prohibited possessor’s ineligibility status and criminal qualifying action to NICS which enabled the purchase to take place. https://t.co/zUIidNZE9N
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) July 7, 2021 The lack of personal responsibility is because most of the individuals who fucked this up retired or separated in the intervening years.
But trust me when I tell you it changed quite a few practices at least from the AF perspective.

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!
