House Democrat Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) echoed misguided characterizations of Georgia’s newly-signed voting reform bill, joining President Joe Biden and others in likening the bill to Jim Crow laws. Democrats equate voter identification requirements with “voter suppression,” and have thus far ignored the legislation’s real contents.
“Yes I do. No question about it,” Clyburn told CNN’s Jake Tapper when asked about the Jim Crow analogy. “These are ways to suppress voters, to keep people from exercising their right.”
CNN’s @jaketapper: “Do you see the Georgia election law as the new Jim Crow?”

The false, outrage-driven narratives about the newly-signed law lead to corporate decisions to boycott Georgia, only at the expense of small businesses. The MLB’s move to pull the All-Star game out of Atlanta is estimated to cost $100 million in lost revenue. President Biden and other Democrats, including Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA), supported the move to boycott; Biden said the league’s choice was a “responsible” decision. Local officials and small business owners have spoken out against the league’s move, citing the loss of potential revenue for the Atlanta area.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
