And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. — John 9:1
There have been several occasions in my life where I have had the opportunity to go and hear someone speak or attend an event. Sometimes those events are listed as “see them while you can” or “see them before its too late.” I’ve heard many people talk about aging singers this way as they went to concerts to hear them before they retired.
Many times I hear people share after the events that it was the event of a lifetime. They often share that they never know if they will be able to go to those events again. What is even more surprising is that people are willing to spend countless dollars and a near endless amount of time for those “once in a lifetime” events.
Here in John 9, I see the example of the blind man who had an event in his life where Jesus passed by. Jesus specifically saw the man and changed his life forever. It was a once in a lifetime event. The man could have easily told Jesus no. He could have refused to go to the spot he was in. There’s so many things about his experience that could be different. He took advantage of that “once in a lifetime” type of event and received his sight.
Across our world today, God is still creating these types of opportunities. God is still working in our world and granting opportunities for people to change their lives or do something for Him. Yet, so many times we may not take advantage of those opportunities. The reasons can be various. What’s important to remember is that once those opportunities are gone, they are often gone forever.

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!
