AP Photo/Marta Lavandier Are you ready for a third summer of wearing masks on airplanes and while using other forms of domestic and international travel? Because that looks like where things are headed.
On Wednesday, the CDC extended the federal mask mandate for public transportation another 15 days, in an inexplicable move that makes no sense whatsoever. This is the Biden administration we are talking about, though, so that shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.
When asked about the extension, Dr. Anthony Fauci actually thinks it should be even longer. Try not to punch any walls while watching this clip.

To what end? Throughout the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic, studies have shown that airplanes are one of the safest places to be because of the constant filtration of the air. No outbreak that I can find has ever been traced to an airliner. And that’s putting aside the reality that mask mandates make no appreciable difference in any situation anyway.
But what’s science got to do with any of this, right? Facts and data haven’t guided the CDC to this point, and there’s no reason to think they’d start caring about that stuff now. Thus, two-year-olds being forced to scream through their masks while flying across the country will remain a staple of air travel for the foreseeable future.
On the other hand, there are some Republicans taking a stand, and you’ll be completely not shocked to learn that Ron DeSantis is leading the way again. His state is currently suing the federal government over the federal mask mandate, and […]
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!
