Sen. Ted Cruz lashed out at Deputy Attorney General Kristen Clarke during a hearing on Wednesday in which he grilled her over the Biden administration’s decision to task U.S. attorneys and the FBI with investigating alleged threats by parents against teachers and school board members.
The announcement by Clarke’s boss, Attorney General Merrick Garland, earlier this week appeared to take many off guard including Republicans who have since blasted the administration for “weaponizing” the Justice Department against parents who are increasingly upset over the introduction of the controversial and divisive curriculum including critical race theory and sexually explicit materials.
At one point during his questioning of Clarke, the Texas Republican asked pointedly, “Do you believe parents objecting to the teaching of Critical Race Theory have civil rights in the democratic process?”
Clarke responded: “Uh, I don’t follow the question, Senator.”
Clarke’s appearance and Garland’s announcement came after a letter to the Justice Department last week from leaders of the National School Board Association in which they asked President Biden to consider using current federal statutes to see if parental behavior at school board meetings rose to the level of criminality.

Particularly shocking was their suggestion that raucous complaints from parents could even be “domestic terrorism.”
Cruz asked Clarke specifically about whether she thought that parents complaining about materials to school boards were “domestic terrorists,” going on to ask if she thought that supporters of Antifa and Black Lives Matter “who burned shops, who firebombed police cars, who murdered police officers” were domestic terrorists.But after she appeared to evade the question, Cruz pressed: “Ms. Clarke, it is amazing that you are not willing to condemn people who are murdering police officers and firebombing cities because your politics align with them, but at the same time when it comes to parents at school boards, you’re perfectly comfortable with calling a mom at a PTA meeting a ‘domestic terrorist.’”Garland’s memo, which he issued on Monday, reads in part: In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, […]

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!
