As my colleague Brandon Morse explained , despite not saying anything about the trans movement or anything except how much she loves being a woman, the Artist of the Year was attacked online by trans activists. Did Adele say that she hates the transgender community? No. Did she say that women are women and men can’t be women? Nope. The accusation is that by Adele saying she likes being a woman, she’s implying all sorts of negative things about transgenderism. This is a ridiculous take by ridiculous people, who seem to be more concerned about finding an excuse to feel victimized than living in the real world and taking people’s words as they are. This is, of course, crazy. Adele made her comment about womanhood while receiving Artist of the Year at the Brit Awards. It is an award that used to be gendered – there was a Male Artist of the Year and Female Artist of the Year, but the two were combined into one award. That means that Adele was the best artist of the year out of all men and all women who qualified. That’s a huge honor and as a woman in a still largely male-dominated industry, that’s amazing.
But because she said “I understand why the name of this award has changed but I really love being a woman and being a female artist,” she apparently had to be dragged online. It’s completely nonsensical.
There is, however, something positive to note in all this. If they are this upset over these comments, then they clearly aren’t winning the culture war after all.
You don’t lose your mind and call a successful woman […]
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!
