Some conservatives love Elon Musk. Others simply don’t trust him. But regardless of what patriots think of the owner of Twitter (some call it “X”), they have to admit he makes a whole lot of sense at a time when common sense has become uncommon.
Lately he’s been bouncing between three primary talking points. Free speech has been an ongoing battle since before he bought the social media site while fighting the border crisis has been a more recent development. Right in between the two has been his opposition to wokeness, in particular the “Woke Mind Virus” that prompts people to either promote LGBTQIA+ supremacy or to accept it out of fear of getting canceled.

Musk has no such fears which is why in one short Tweet he really summed up the core problem with the “Woke Mind Virus.”
“Cis is a heterophobic word. Shame on anyone who uses it.”
Cis is a heterophobic word. Shame on anyone who uses it.

While I still remain in the camp that doesn’t trust a guy who wants to stick a chip in my brain, I wholeheartedly endorse his perspectives regarding the nonsensical use of the word “Cis.” It’s a pejorative that has somehow been embraced by many heterosexuals in the ultimate self-own.
Those who qualify for any of the 57 Heinz varieties of genders and sexual preferences who use the word are essentially invoking a slur. Those who are normal — birth gender, no false fluidity, and heterosexual in nature — who use the word are simply idiots.

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
