Despite the Biden-Harris regime and the wokesters in corporate media coming up with rosy names for the people invading our southern border in droves, we stick with the proper Trump-era term “illegal aliens.” It’s the most accurate characterizations since the word “migrants” does not indicate their presence as being illegal and “illegal immigrants” conflates them with those who have entered this nation lawfully. As for anything that uses the word “undocumented,” that’s just woke wordplay.
A play-by-play announcer covering a college football bowl game referenced the appropriate term “illegal aliens” on-air and has been suspended indefinitely. According to The Blaze:
Radio broadcaster Gary Hahn has been indefinitely suspended after mentioning “illegal aliens” during a broadcast. While covering Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Friday, Hahn gave the score of the Sun Bowl, saying that “amongst all the illegal aliens” in El Paso, the game stood at UCLA with 14 and Pittsburgh with 6.

Was Hahn making a political statement? Absolutely. Was it appropriate? Yep. Sports announcers invoke woke terminology regularly on-air with no repercussions. If anything, they get kudos from fawning fellow media. Hahn used an accurate term that counters the open borders narrative embraced by the woke so he is being punished.
Imagine if we leftists could take the outrage they feel about someone using “insensitive” words and channel it to outrage over the invasion at our southern border. Perhaps then we could end the national suicide of dismissed sovereignty.
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
