On Friday’s PBS NewsHour, they lamented the close race for governor in Virginia in their weekly roundup, and Washington Post columnist and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart spat out that “white grievance” was to blame, and “whiteness is a hell of a drug.”
Anchor Amna Nawaz sounded like AP, that “Democrats haven’t a lost statewide race since 2009 in the commonwealth. Why is it as tight as it is?” She played a soundbite of Barack Obama touting Democrat Terry McAuliffe, but left out the part where he implied that concerns over two sexual assaults by a teen boy in northern Virginia high schools are a “fake outrage” and a “trumped-up culture war.”
Nawaz then went after the Republican: “Glenn Youngkin, meanwhile, has been campaigning with officials who’ve repeated the lie of mass election fraud.” When was that? The only guest Youngkin’s campaign has touted in the last week is country singer John Rich, who sang for the candidate in Blacksburg.
She added the unproven claim “He’s been leveraging parental anger over Critical Race Theory, which is not being taught in schools .” She didn’t mention the Youngkin campaign having a call for the press of black leaders who are upset over McAuliffe’s criticism of parents, or Youngkin’s campaign touting how black former Governor Doug Wilder praised his commitment to funding historically black colleges. But this was nothing compared to NewsHour panelist Jonathan Capehart’s view of what happens if Democrats lose: To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video CAPEHART: It would show that fear and anger win the day. The fact that we’re having a conversation about Critical Race Theory that is not taught in public schools in Virginia, it just goes to show how Republicans have decided that picking at white grievance and tap-dancing with white supremacy is their way back into power. And if Glenn Youngkin wins, yeah, the Democrats should be afraid, because fear works. And I like to say, whiteness is a hell of a drug. And going into the midterm elections, we will see just how successful it […]

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!
