Socialist Bernie Sanders has been activated by Democrats to go after the righteous reduction of waste underway with the Trump administration. He launched his anti-DOGE campaign with a surprisingly long list of lies in a very short video.
He opened by highlighting “massive income and wealth inequality,” noting that the people on top have “never, ever had it so good.”
This is the only honest portion of his rant. It’s true that income and wealth inequality are at all-time highs and it’s a direct result of Democrat policies that have gutted the middle class for the last four years.
He then dishonestly discussed massive cuts coming to Medicaid, education, and housing. What he failed to mention is that the massive cuts being discussed are for efficiency only. Nobody is talking about cutting Medicaid benefits. Nobody is talking about harming education or housing. The only people who will be harmed are the bureaucrats who have embedded themselves in government so they can advance their own agendas AGAINST the American people.
He then told the biggest whopper of them all. Harkening back to his days running for president, he regurgitated the lie that tax breaks coming from efficiency savings will go to Elon Musk and the billionaire class. This is demonstrably false. The tax breaks that have been discussed since the last time the GOP made tax breaks in 2018 are geared toward the middle class.
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,
