Liberal media figures and the Democrats are so desperate to attack President Donald Trump, who has been running roughshod on the Left since day one of his second presidency, that they’re blaming the recent plane crash in Toronto on him. The Delta flight crashed on the runway, ending with the fuselage upside down. Miraculously, no one was killed, though there were almost two dozen injuries.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian said the crew was experienced in doing routine damage control, as there were reports that this crew wasn’t as experienced as others. It fed into the narrative that DEI hiring practices placed people’s lives at risk, yet that’s not what’s shocking. Bastian was quick to slap down CBS’ Gayle King’s attempt to push an anti-Trump narrative about the crash, citing the spending cuts and the layoffs at the FAA.
Bastian obliterated that point, saying the cuts didn’t impact Delta’s operations:
The cuts do not affect us, Gail. I’ve been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation. I understand that the, the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions, but the reality is there’s over 50,000 people that work at the FAA. And the cuts, I understand, were 300 people, and they were in non-critical safety functions.
Gail got put in a body bag, though it’s true. This notion that the spending cuts and layoffs cause these aviation incidents is fake news. If anything, if we’re going to blame people for the DC crash, which left 67 people dead, it’s the Biden administration who knew about the issues around Reagan Airport but did nothing. And what about the FAA’s push to hire the mentally ill and brain-damaged people? And yes, some were hired to be air traffic controllers. […]

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
