President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were at the Dover Air Force Base Sunday morning for the dignified transfer of 11 of the 13 service members who lost their lives on Thursday. While there, the president actually checked his watch. And he wasn’t subtle about it, not even close to it. — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) August 29, 2021 So predictable and sad.
In terms of on-camera faux pas, this is up there with picking your nose. You just don’t do it. https://t.co/z2bOn9hO5k — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) August 29, 2021 Looks someone is anxious to go back on vacation. https://t.co/DZQjFrRSrt — Ian Miles Cheong @ stillgray.substack.com (@stillgray) August 29, 2021 The bodies arrived last night, but the president did not go to meet them. To be fair, Julio had on good authority that some family members did not want him there. Heard from a reliable source some of the families of the service members who were killed in Kabul do not want Biden to be at Dover AFB for the dignified transfers. — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) August 29, 2021 Historically. This also happened when SOCS Ryan Owen was killed under President Trump. Ryan’s father, a Green Beret, didn’t want to meet with him. Not sure under President Obama, but wouldn’t be surprised. Under President Bush, I heard a story about him being berated by parents. https://t.co/7wspMFKNyj — James LaPorta (@JimLaPorta) August 29, 2021 I feeling “being berated by parents” comes with the job of being Commander in Chief and trying to be there to pay respect to the service members and their families. — Rebecca Downs (@RebeccaRoseGold) August 29, 2021 Again, the president wasn’t even subtle about it. The fact that it looks as if this is one of his more cognizant moments–though that’s not saying much–doesn’t help his case.
Of course, the left is likely going to spin this, just as they did when the president appeared to be asleep during a meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of Israel, whom Biden was meeting for the first time.

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!
