Please respect our republishing guidelines – Click Here One of the cardinal rules in responding effectively to insults is to never repeat a charge when denying it. If someone calls you a sexual predator, he is just waiting for you to say, “I am not a sexual predator.” The very restatement of the charge by the accused adds weight to the accusation, no matter its veracity. This is particularly true in politics , a realm where perception becomes reality. And in an age when every word stated by a politician is run through the wringer of social media critique, it sends the message that there must be something to it, or else you would have simply laughed it off – instead of choosing to repeat and deny it.
There were two particularly infamous instances of repeating charges that came back to haunt the politicians who uttered them. Christine O’Donnell, running for the U.S. Senate in Delaware in 2012, tried to dispel wild rumors from her opponent that she was a witch by running an ad in which she declared, “I am not a witch.” She lost badly. More famously, President Richard Nixon actually set up and knocked down his own straw man as Watergate was closing in on him, saying, “people have got to know whether their president is a crook,” and then presenting a sound bite for the ages, repeated millions of times since: “I am not a crook.” He resigned shortly thereafter. For more than two years now, ever since he initiated his third run for the White House, it appeared obvious to many if not most that Joe Biden is not the same man with whom the country had become familiar over his lifetime in Washington. It was hard to miss the signs. He was moving tentatively and talking slower. He was more forgetful, quicker to anger, and often seemed confused. And so the whispers began. Is this man who wants to be president no longer firing on all cylinders? Is he in the early stages of dementia? Is he senile? You can’t make a diagnosis based […]

One Sick Day Proves We Need More Voices in Truthful Media
On October 19, I was sick. It crossed my mind that I had finally gotten the ‘rona, but my wife’s cream of chicken soup and a few extra hours of sleep into mid-afternoon had be back up and running after a sleepless night before.
When I finally stumbled over to my computer in the evening, I was met with a deluge of concern from readers. They asked what had happened as only one article had been posted that day. Generally, we post between 10-20 daily between all of the sites, not included curated and aggregated content. Seeing that we’d only posted my super-early morning article before taking the rest of the day off had readers assuming the worst.
We have a wonderful and talented group of writers who volunteer their time for the sites and their readers. Sharing their amazing perspectives has always been a blessing to us because we cannot afford to hire anyone at this time. But having great writers is meaningless if we don’t have great editors, or at least one additional. My wife helps me read and edit stories from time to time, but I’m a one-man show when it comes to getting the stories posted.
Whenever I highlight our desperate need for donations, I note that we do not receive money from Google ads even though most in conservative media are beholden. I often ambiguously note that the money donated will help us grow. Today, I’m highlighting a specific need. We must get an editor to help take some of the load and to expand on our mission of spreading the truth to the world. One sick day proved that.
The great news is that there is no shortage of people who CAN help. I am emailed variations of resumes every week by people who are much smarter than I am. As much as I’d love to hire some of them, we simply cannot. That takes money and as blessed as we’ve been to receive donations and collect ad money (though not from Google or Facebook), we have still fallen short.
Those who have the means, PLEASE consider donating. We have the standard Giving Fuel option and people can donate through PayPal. We are also diving into what we believe is extremely disruptive technology at LetsGo.finance, the world’s first major donation portal for crypto. I’ll be talking a lot more about them in the near future. Those who prefer Bitcoin can send to my address here: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
We can get the voices out there and we’re willing to shine a spotlight on new talent. We just need the resources to make it happen. If you can help, we would be extremely grateful.
Thank you and God bless!
