AP Photo/Steve Helber, File Terry McAuliffe is terrified he’s going to lose Monday’s election. That was the message I got last night watching him awkwardly dance on stage while having Joe Biden fumble around in all his senility.
Less than a month after admitting the president isn’t popular in Virginia, a desperate McAuliffe has decided to go with a “kitchen sink” strategy. A man without options, that meant doubling down on an easily disproven lie regarding children and COVID-19. In fact, McAuliffe had just been fact-checked in the days prior to repeating the falsehood. Still, he made the claim again to a lagging rally crowd last night. FACT CHECKER: Terry McAuliffe keeps inflating coronavirus numbers https://t.co/DxDpQo81qS — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 27, 2021 When you are staring defeat in the face, I guess there’s no incentive to not throw honesty to the wind. McAuliffe has made this false assertion multiple times now, even being contacted by The Washington Post to explain the discrepancy. Despite that, he got on stage last night and did it again.
So what are the real numbers ? 1,142 matches none of them. Over the course of the pandemic, there have been 952 total children under 17 in the hospital due to COVID-19. On the day McAuliffe claimed there were 1,142 currently being treated, there were actually 35. Further, he has also lied in the past about case numbers, claiming 8,000 on a day that actually only had around 2,000. In other words, no matter how you slice it, McAuliffe’s claims can not be squared with reality.
But again, that shows the fear he’s operating under. When you can’t beat Glenn Youngkin on the issues and you can’t take him down by trying to link him to Donald Trump, the last resort is COVID hysteria. Well, that and claiming voter suppression . McAuliffe is banking on left-leaning individuals responding to the fear he’s pushing, not realizing that nothing he’s saying is even true. That’s probably not a bad bet if his goal is to juice NOVA Democrat turnout in a year that the Republican seems to otherwise have […]

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!
