AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster When Joe Biden took possession of the Oval Office in January, his first executive order — of many to come — announced a “ whole-of-government equity agenda .” Forget that old-school “All men are created equal” stuff — we’re talking about “equity” replacing equality. “ Societal “leveling, as it were.
And in a 2020 presidential campaign ad, then-vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris lectured America on “the difference between equality and equity.” Equity, Harris argued, cannot coexist with equality, freedom, and justice, since those principles dear to America stand in the way of societal leveling. Equality suggests, “oh everyone should get the same amount.” The problem with that, not everybody’s starting out from the same place.

After the jurors delivered their verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Kamala Harris ominously said : “I’ve spent a majority of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable. It’s clear, there’s still a lot more work to do.” In other words, Rittenhouse should have been subject to a trial […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. 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!
