A city councilor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. is lobbying to reroute $250,000 in funding that the city has allocated for Planned Parenthood, arguing that it would do more good if it were given to homeless and youth shelters instead.
In May, the city announced that it would give the abortion giant a $250,000 sponsorship. “Anti-women extremists have used aggression and intimidation towards Planned Parenthood clinics, staff, and patients resulting in increased costs, delays in treatment, and additional counseling and education needs. These funds support our local Planned Parenthood clinic to ensure that all Albuquerque women have access to family planning, abortion, and other reproductive health services,” said City Councilor Tammy Fiebelkorn at the time.
In response, City Councilor Renée Grout announced on June 2 that she was sponsoring legislation that would reappropriate those funds to the Family and Community Services Department for youth shelter services and to Barrett House Shelter. Per her press release , “$150,000 of the appropriation would go toward a dedicated shelter for homeless youth and $100,000 would go to the Barrett House Shelter, which provides emergency shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness.” Grout was one of two city councilors who voted against the city’s initial budget.

“Our response as a City to the current homelessness crisis is more crucial and urgent than supporting Planned Parenthood at this time,” said Councilor Grout. “We have a clear need for youth shelter services and emergency services for women and children. This allocation will have a much greater impact on our community than funding services that not all taxpayers agree with, and many believe is immoral.”
Alberquerque’s move to allocate more taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood comes despite the fact that polls have shown that the majority of Americans do not […]
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!
