Pulitzer Prize-winning Nick Kristof quit his job at The New York Times in 2021 after two decades at the news outlet to run for governor of Oregon. The problem is that on Thursday, state officials declared him ineligible to run since they don’t have proof the candidate has lived in Oregon long enough to qualify. Kristof followed through on his vow Thursday to challenge the decision in court. What it boils down to is the gubernatorial candidate needed to be a resident of Oregon since November 2019. It’s unclear whether or not Kristof met these residency requirements based on his transition from being a New York resident to an Oregon transplant, where he managed a farm.
It’s this grey area that comes out in the letter announcing the move from the elections division from the Oregon Secretary of State. While aspects like voter registration and a driver’s license are some of the ways the office assesses residency, election officials were willing to look further, citing in the letter: “During the relevant period, you owned and maintained homes in New York and in Oregon but spent most of your time away from Oregon. Before 2019, you spent ‘at least part of every summer’ in Oregon. You spent more time in Oregon since 2019.”
“You worked in New York (journalism) and in Oregon (owning/leasing and managing farm property). You stated that you have hired and supervised employees since 2019, but you did not state the extent of your supervision or whether you supervised employees in person or from New York.”
“You paid income taxes in New York from 1999 to 2021. You paid income taxes in Oregon in 2019 and 2020. You did not explain whether you filed Oregon income tax returns as a nonresident, a part-year resident, or a full-year resident.”

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!
