It may be a summer of discontent brewing in the UK and the European continent. With raging inflation, traditional union powers are gearing up to respond and demand higher wages for their workers.
Britain is in the midst of a snarling traffic catastrophe as the nation is hit by strikes. Around 40,000 rail staff are demanding a 7% pay rise. Amid the ongoing rail strike, only 20% of the train services are running. RMT union said that talks are underway, but further strikes are possible. See this in the video report below. Striking rail workers are asking for a 7% pay rise, despite CPI inflation at 9.1% and RPI at 11.7%. , But they are only being offered 3% by the Department for Transport (DfT). NHS workers and teachers have also threatened to walk out if the government doesn’t up their pay deals.
The French want to get in on the act as well. French rail unions have called for a national day of strike action to demand wage increases. The national rail strike is planned for Wednesday, July 6th, the day before French schools break up for the summer.
Three of the biggest rail unions – CFDT, Sud-Rail, and CGT – have joined the strike call, while a fourth, Unsa, is set to announce whether it will join next week. They are demanding wage increases to help their members cope with the cost of living crisis, saying: “Railway workers are being hit hard, and are suffering a clear and sharp decline in their purchasing power.
Labor strikes will be European-wide as major airlines are set to get hit by labor actions as well. Trade unions in Europe that represent employees of the Irish low-cost airline Ryanair “are calling on flight attendants … to stop working” at the end of June and early […]

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!
