This White House is already the best White House in modern history. Even if we forget the amazing progress made to returning America to exceptionalism, we can still look at how they handle their adversaries in the Democrat Party and legacy media (one in the same) and enjoy the greatness.
Case-in-Point: The White House’s “rapid response” to Democrat Senator Chris Murphy citing a parody account on X as if it was actually Lara Trump posting.
The post from the parody account asked for “thumbs up” from people who support Border Czar Tom Homan arresting Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for giving illegal aliens instructions on how to avoid deportation.
Murphy’s response was half emotion, half idiocy:
It takes some f****** gall to have Vance lecturing Europe on “free speech” when at the exact same time the Trump regime is threatening Democrats back home with arrest if they even explain people’s rights to them.

The White House responded through their @RapidResponse47 account:
You are a moron, Chris. It is obvious this page is not affiliated with President Trump, his family, or the administration.
We do, however, support your right to make such a statement, no matter how imbecilic it makes you look.

To Murphy’s credit, he hasn’t taken down the post two days after the idiotic gaffe. He is taking his lumps like a man, which is a rare trait among Democrat lawmakers.
As humorous as this story is, it highlights an important trend among Democrat lawmakers and their unhinged legacy media lapdogs. They’re making unforced errors incessantly. They weren’t doing this during President Trump’s first term. Have they been broken so badly by his reelection and the success his administration has had? It seems very possible.
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
