A recent Grinnell College National Poll found that 68% of U.S. adults do not believe that colleges should be able to consider an individual’s race as a factor when making admissions decisions, while just 27% think institutions of higher learning should be permitted to consider race.
“In order to expand access to college for racial minorities, do you think a college or university should or should not be allowed to take a person’s race into account when deciding whether to admit that person as a student?” the poll asked.
A majority of both white and nonwhite respondents resoundingly rejected the idea that colleges should be able to use race as a factor in admissions decisions — 69% of white respondents and 68% of non-white respondents said considering race should not be permitted, while 26% of white respondents and 29% of non-white respondents said it should be permitted.
According to Pew Research , a survey of U.S. adults in early 2019 found that 73% thought that race or ethnicity should not be a factor in college admissions, while 19% thought it should be a minor consideration, and 7% indicated that it should be a major factor.
According to the Grinnell poll, while 52% disapprove of how President Joe Biden is handling his role, only 34% approve.
The poll also found that many people are pessimistic about the future of the American economy. People were asked: “As you think about the next 12 months, do you expect the overall strength of the U.S. economy to be better or worse as compared to the way you see it now?” More than half (58%) expect the economy to be worse going forward, while 27% think it will be better.
The poll was carried out for Grinnell College on March 15 to 20 by Selzer & Company.

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!
