But, they just can’t quit him.
Amid the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol building, the Democrats and their close friends and allies in the activist media have been looking for novel ways to use the incident against Republicans. But a recent report from The Hill revealed that “a handful of Democrats, constitutional scholars and pro-democracy advocates” are seeking to use a post-Civil War amendment to prevent Trump from ever holding public office again.
“Calls for Congress to take steps to strip Trump of his eligibility, which reached a crescendo in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot, have since decreased,” according to The Hill. “But those who remain engaged on the issue say discussions about applying Section 3 of the 14th Amendment have been ongoing.”
Laurence Tribe, a constitutional expert at Harvard Law School, told The Hill that “the idea” of barring Trump from public office “has waxed and waned.” He said: “I hear it being raised with considerable frequency these days both by media commentators and by members of Congress and their staffs, some of whom have sought my advice on how to implement Section 3.” The Hill conducted an analysis that found about a dozen Democratic lawmakers “have spoken either publicly or privately over the last year about how Section 3 of the 14 th Amendment might apply to those who engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who served as a House manager during the second effort to impeach President Trump under the pretense that he incited the riot, has been leading […]
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!
