(Townhall)—The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian appears amazed by the Democratic Party’s ever-growing list of embarrassing antics. It caused her to leave the party. To recap, she was sexually assaulted by a homeless man while walking her dog, and when she complained about it, her supposed friends attacked her for shining a terrible light on the hobo community.
She has been marching to her drum, still left leaning but not insane. She hates the identitarian virus that’s infected the Left. She doesn’t and never will cave to the science fiction that biological males are women. And her shooting inside the ship continues, especially after the Democrats’ antics during President Trump’s joint address to Congress.
The bingo signs and disruptions were all embarrassing tantrums of a party that’s lost. Both parties have learned from this, though only one seems destined to repeat it right now: it’s not enough to be the “anti” party. John Kerry was the anti-Bush, whereas Mitt Romney was the anti-Obama—both lost their presidential bids.
Democrats’ only message is ‘we hate Trump. And Elon is a Nazi.’ It’s not resonating. Despite 76 percent of voters viewing the speech favorably, they sat and never clapped for anything. It hits on Kasparian’s observation that she doesn’t need a script to outline what she feels in the way national Democrats need because they’re abjectly stupid. She noted this is part of the problem: they’re beyond out of touch. The progressive commentator also said that every time she sees the Democrats do something, a little bit of her dies inside.
Ms. Kasparian, welcome to the party. I know you don’t want the invitation, but we’ve long suffered under the authoritarian yoke of Democratic Party insanity.
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
