Are we seeing the end of global leftism?
Probably not. For one thing, politics is sort of a fuzzy spectrum; there will always be a left and a right, although things are a little more complicated than that. But there is a reason the Overton Window is a thing, and it can’t go all the way to one side or another, and there will always be people and systems to the left and to the right of that window.
But modern leftist politics, defined by socialism and its fuzzy-headed cousin “progressivism” (which may be taken to mean “progress on the road to socialism”), seem to be losing ground. The recent reelection of America’s President Donald Trump is one sign of this — but only one sign.
Lefty political parties across the world are now more unpopular than any time since the Cold War, a staggering analysis of recent elections shows.
The Left suffered a record-low average of just 45% of votes in dozens of ballots held globally last year, according to the analysis of 73 democratic elections, conducted by the Telegraph.
In the United States and Western Europe, progressives were even more unpopular — with the left-leaning parties securing only 42% of their respective votes.
The Right, meanwhile, won 57% of the average votes — representing the widest gap since 1990, the analysis found.
The global demise of the political left comes off the back of President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide election win.
The nail in the coffin of leftist politics in the United States, at least outside of a few of our more deluded major cities (I’m looking at you, San Francisco), seems to have been the inept, incompetent, and corrupt Biden/Harris administration. The determination of this administration to shamble to the finish spewing stupidity with every step has only strengthened the incoming Trump administration; Trump II, “This Time It’s Personal” is enjoying great reviews from the voting public, with a majority approving of the Trump team’s transition and historic approval ratings for Donald Trump himself.
And it’s not just American politics that are on the move. […]

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,
