With so much happening in the news lately, it’s been a while since we posted an article detailing a relatively young and otherwise healthy American dying suddenly. And by a while, it’s probably been a week, but since we were posting these pretty much every day for a while, it’s sad that this problem is back on our radar.
According to NY Post:
Mike Batayeh, the actor best known for playing laundromat manager Dennis Markowski on “Breaking Bad,” has died. He was 52. Batayeh died in his sleep of a heart attack at his Michigan home on June 1, his family confirmed to The Post on Friday. Batayeh’s death was very sudden, according to his relatives, and he did not have a history of heart issues.
The appetite for Americans to get more booster shots has greatly diminished in recent months, but the push for every man, woman, and child on earth to get jabbed continues as the powers-that-be are not satisfied with getting most people injected. They want us all, which is why there are indications another round of Pandemic Panic Theater is about to ramp up this summer.
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
