COLUMBUS, Ohio — Allies of Ohio Republican Senate candidate Josh Mandel are calling for a boycott of a rally to be held by former President Donald Trump in the state after he endorsed Mandel’s primary rival, J.D. Vance .
A large field of Republican candidates had sought Trump’s endorsement before he ultimately gave it to Vance, a venture capitalist and author of Hillbilly Elegy , last week. Vance and several Republican House candidates also endorsed by Trump are scheduled to appear at a rally with the former president in Delaware County on Saturday.
Some Republicans in the state asked Trump to reconsider his endorsement, arguing in a letter that Vance is a “political chameleon” who called Trump and his supporters “racist” in 2016. In his Senate campaign, Vance has cast himself as a close ally to Trump.
In his endorsement of Vance, Trump acknowledged his previous criticism, saying it was not an “easy” decision for him to make.
“Like some others, J.D. Vance may have said some not-so-great things about me in the past, but he gets it now, and I have seen that in spades,” Trump said. “He is our best chance for victory in what could be a very tough race.”
But some Ohio Republicans argued Trump made the wrong call, marking one of his most contentious endorsements of the election cycle among his own party.
The group Ohio Value Voters, which endorsed Mandel, recently argued in a message to supporters that Republicans should boycott Trump’s rally in protest of the endorsement.The message calls the endorsement of Vance a “terrible decision” and blames unnamed people around the former president for it.“However, if you decide to attend, when President Trump introduces JD Vance, make your voices heard by letting Trump know, JD Vance is Wrong for Ohio,” the message says. “Booing is […]

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!
