Living under the new Black Lives Matter dictatorship apparently means that white women who go missing need to check their privilege.
Following some national media interest in the disappearance of 22-year-old Gabby Petito, some leftists in that same media (along with some guilty consciences) microwaved the “missing white woman syndrome” grievance, the complaint that white women and girls who inexplicably disappear are given outsize attention relative to similar cases with ethnic minorities.
“The obsessive fascination with missing white women also leads to a slanting in sympathies,” New York Times leftist Charles Blow wrote Wednesday . “All missing-persons stories are human tragedies, and because we are all human we empathize with the people we see. But this also erases the trauma of other missing people, as if nonwhite people never go missing, when they absolutely do.”
MSNBC’s Joy Reid said Monday , “Why not the same media attention when people of color go missing? Well, the answer actually has a name: Missing White Woman Syndrome.”

In any event, there are elements to the Petito case outside of demographics that lend themselves to intrigue, such as that her fiance, 23-year-old Brian Laundrie, had been with her before she disappeared but was safe and sound with his own family, ignoring phone calls from her parents who were looking for her.
Police knew where he was and did not take him into custody for questioning. Then he […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. 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!
