It wasn’t too long ago when around half of the nation considered illegal aliens to be “serious” or “very serious.” And it wasn’t just under President Trump that this was the case. Even under his two predecessors, the issue was a topic for discussion but pretty much no Democrats and just most Republicans thought there was a crisis at the border.
Fast-forward to three short years under the Biden regime and things are far worse. Moreover, just about everyone sees it, including Democrats.
According to The National Pulse:
The vast majority of Americans – 81 percent – believe that illegal immigration into the United States is becoming a “serious problem” for the country, according to a recent survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports, which found that majorities from all political parties share concerns about the number of people entering the country.
Of those who believe it is a serious problem, more than half – 52 percent – argue it is a “very serious” issue. Only 16 percent of those surveyed do not consider illegal migration a serious problem.
Rasmussen pollsters also asked the 996 likely U.S. voters, “which political party do you trust more to handle immigration.” Only 37 percent of respondents said they trusted Joe Biden and the Democrats more than Republicans, compared to 49 percent who have more trust in the GOP. That includes 54 percent of white people, 39 percent of black people, and 53 percent of “other minorities.”
The real story here isn’t that 81% see the obvious. The headscratcher is how 19% simply can’t see it.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
