Four years ago, NBC’s chief anchor, Lester Holt stood at the bottom of a ski slope in North Korea. South Korea was about to host the Winter Olympics, and Communist North Korea asked NBC to visit.

As Holt spoke, the background was filled with North Koreans dressed in colorful ski outfits. Each of the jackets and ski equipment looked new – because all of it was new, right out–of–the–box.

Friday is the opening ceremony for this year’s iteration of the Winter Olympics. This time, it’s in Beijing, China. The last time China hosted an Olympic Games, it was the summer of 2008.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. 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!
