Please respect our republishing guidelines – Click Here For the first time since 2017, most Americans disapprove of the way the Supreme Court does its job. This is according to the results of a survey by Gallup released Wednesday, July 28, from polling data gathered between July 6 and 21. Slight majorities of Democrats and Republicans – 51% in both cases – do approve of the Court’s work, but the independents’ disdain managed to drag the rating below halfway, with only 46% of the unaffiliated being pleased. Scorn for SCOTUS?
The poll started days after the Court concluded its latest term , a busy one including major decisions on free speech and the Fourth Amendment, as well as religious institutions performing government social services. In addition to the 49% of U.S. adults who approve of the Supreme Court’s job, 44% disapprove, and 7% express no opinion.
The Gallup organization said it “continues to see little difference in partisans’ evaluations of the court, all party groups have lower approval ratings than they did a year ago, including a nine-percentage-point decline among Republicans, 11 points among independents and five points among Democrats.” However, the organization did not offer any likely reason independents’ opinion was more negative by comparison. Changes Coming to the Court?
Since November’s presidential election, progressives have spent the months denigrating the Court and demanding more justices be added. With a Democrat president to appoint the new judges and a Democrat majority in the Senate to confirm them, packing the Court at this time could easily turn the current conservative majority to a progressive one.
The Supreme Court has nine justices, but that number is not legally required. It is based on tradition, as the U.S. Constitution prescribes no set number. On April 9, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14023, forming the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States. The commission wasn’t empaneled to resolve a specific question or address a compelling issue, as is typical with presidential commissions. Instead, its “purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for […]

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!
