Townhall Media/Julio Rosas There’s your standard gaslighting and then there is the Biden White House’s gaslighting, which many in the administration have turned into an art form as we’ve seen just in the last 24 hours alone.
First, it was White House press secretary Jen Psaki responding to questions from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy about why there was a different standard for foreign nationals traveling to the United States and illegal immigrants crossing the southern border into the United States in terms of requiring proof of a recent negative COVID test as well as proof of full vaccination status.
Foreign nationals are now required to have both to gain entry into the country while the migrants surging across the southern border are treated much differently, with no such standard. Here’s how Psaki responded : “As individuals come across the border, they are both assessed for whether they have any symptoms, if they have symptoms, the intention is for them to have to be quarantined,” Psaki said, referring to migrants crossing into the U.S. “That is our process.” When pressed further, Psaki said the situations could not be compared. “They are not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time,” she said. “I don’t think it’s the same thing. It is not the same thing.” Then later there was DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas proclaiming as the cameras rolled that “our borders are not open.” If the situation weren’t so deadly serious and dire, it would be a laughable claim, but it’s not funny at all, and the videos taken over the last several days prove the point, with the humanitarian crisis growing by the hour.
Bill Melugin, a Fox News reporter who has been on the ground reporting live on the deteriorating situation at the border for weeks now, heard about the statements from Psaki and Mayorkas and fact-checked them both on Twitter and in various live segments on the network: Reporter pushes back on Mayorkas’ assertion that the border is not open: “When Secretary Mayorkas said, once again, that the border is closed, I can tell you that is […]

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!
