By now, you are likely familiar with the phenomenon of liberals freaking out over the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon,” which many Republicans have taken to chanting in mockery of an NBC reporter who reported that a NASCAR crowd that was clearly chanting “F*** Joe Biden” was chanting “Let’s Go Brandon.” A full-on cancel campaign has taken root to get a Southwest Airlines Pilot fired who may have uttered the phrase over his plane’s intercom system (note: He may also have said “Let’s go, Braves,” or any number of other things; the audio is not clear).
The outrage has taken predictable turns, as a number of liberal commentators have nonsensically claimed that the phrase is racist. One CNN/MSNBC commentator even compared it to a Nazi salute. NBC News has now apparently decided that it also constitutes a threat that should be investigated by the Secret Service, at least based upon an article written Monday about gun manufacturers who have begun to incorporate the “Let’s go, Brandon” meme into various gun parts.
In the article, NBC notes that the Palmetto State Armory in Columbia, S.C., is marketing a “LETSGO15 stripped lower receiver” for an AR-15, which includes a fire mode selector that has three settings, :”‘F@CK!'(Safe), ‘JOE!’ (Fire), ‘BIDEN!’ (Full-Auto).” The article also noted that “At least two other firms in other states, Culper Precision and My Southern Tactical , are advertising an AR-15 magazine for sale with a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ sticker.”
The article indicated, “A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, which investigates threats against the president, declined to comment.” The article did not indicate why the Secret Service was asked to comment about a derogatory joke directed against President Biden.

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!
