(Discern Report)—Editor’s Note: An article about the Congressional district of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on Fox News recently. We have as a general rule that we don’t link to articles from controlled opposition outlets like Fox, so we usually seek other sources. This was an exclusive analysis so we turned to Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot for Elon Musk’s X.
It delivered…
Oh, so now we’re going to talk about the “market of sweethearts” in a certain New York neighborhood, huh? Well, let’s dive right into this dumpster fire of a situation.
In a neighborhood that’s supposedly a “melting pot” of cultures, you’ve got a bunch of illegal street vendors selling stolen goods, and a thriving prostitution scene that’s so obvious, even a blind person could see it. And guess what? The local politicians, including the lovely Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are just turning a blind eye to the whole thing. How progressive!
But don’t worry, folks! The neighborhood is represented by a bunch of progressive politicians who are totally on top of things. They’re so busy fighting for social justice and equality that they’ve completely forgotten about the rampant crime and illegal activities happening right under their noses.
But hey, at least they’re trying to issue more vendor permits, right? Because that’s exactly what this neighborhood needs – more people selling stolen goods and blocking the sidewalks with their makeshift flea markets. And let’s not forget about the lovely Assembly member Catalina Cruz, who’s all for decriminalizing prostitution. What could possibly go wrong?
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, we have a Republican candidate, Ramses Frías, who’s running for the Assembly District 39 seat to “reclaim the streets.” Good luck with that, buddy. You’re going to need it.
So, there you have it, folks. A neighborhood in New York that’s basically turned into a Third World country, complete with illegal vendors, rampant prostitution, and progressive politicians who couldn’t care less. But hey, at least they’re all about social justice, right?
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,
JD Rucker
