Texas is taking donations from the public to cover the cost of buses which will be used to send illegal migrants crossing the southern border to liberal cities Washington D.C. and New York City.
According to the website, Gov. Greg Abbott’s Border Transportation Funding has already raised $118,297 as of July 22, a big jump from the $64,000 it collected in April.
The donation page calls out President Joe Biden for ending Title 42, which allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants to enter the U.S., bringing in drugs and sex traffickers who took Americans’s jobs.
The Washington Examiner notes that Texas makes up 1,250 miles of the 2,000 mile long southern border. And of the 1.7 million illegal migrants apprehended at the border, more than half were stopped in Abbott’s state.
In an op-ed, Abbot noted that nearly 300,000 migrant apprehensions have occurred and more than 326 million lethal doses of fentanyl have been seized at the border.
Meanwhile, the same donation page is also asking people to fund Abbott’s Texas Border Wall Funding, which began last week in an effort to halt illegals from crossing into the U.S.
The Texas governor has made headlines as of late, sparring with state leaders of D..C and New York City who are calling out Abbott for sending migrants “closer to Biden’s doorstep.”New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) lashed out at Abbott saying that he will send New Yorkers to Texas to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke, to which Abbott responded saying it “feels like Clint Eastwood.”Last month, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) called on the Biden administration to deploy the National Guard, claiming she has reached a “tipping point” with the influx of migrants Abbott sent to the city.
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!
