AP Photo/Andrew Harnik Joe Biden’s recent press conference is the gift that keeps on giving if you are a conservative commentator, and his remarks on Ukraine didn’t fail to deliver. As RedState reported, the president essentially green-lit a Russian invasion , noting that he wouldn’t respond as harshly if it were only a “minor incursion.”
As per usual, Jen Psaki and company rushed to try to clean up his mess , and there were several made yesterday that she had to deal with this morning. But far short of a logical explanation, we are now being presented with outright lies about what Biden said.
For his part, Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, isn’t buying them. He jabbed at Joe Biden this morning in a way you don’t often see from lesser allies. We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones. I say this as the President of a great power 🇺🇦 — Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) January 20, 2022 I won’t go so far as to suggest Biden has made a deal with Putin to allow him to take just a small bite of Ukraine, but Biden’s remarks felt awfully similar to the passiveness shown by Barack Obama that led to Russia taking over the Crimea region. But clearly, no matter what is behind Biden’s “minor incursion” commentary, Zelensky is not amused. He’s got a country to protect, after all, and there’s no excuse for the United States to be enabling Russia to lash out “just enough” to not bring down the hammer.
What happened to all that care for Ukraine that existed during the Trump administration? One would be forgiven for believing that the foreign policy establishment’s […]
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!
