Wednesday night’s GOP debate was not the standout moment that all of the candidates had hoped to have. Early reactions have been mostly negative with few bright spots and no clear breakthrough moments that were desperately needed for them to stay relevant.
Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec noted that a huge opportunity was missed. The leader of the party is under attack from multiple fronts as the Deep State tries to take President Donald Trump down. How did the GOP candidates handle this attack against the party and the nation?

According to Posobiec, not well:
Weird how Biden is jailing the leader of the Republican Party and Democrat judges are dissolving his business and no one the GOP primary debate seems to have noticed But sure they’ll totally take on the deep state

All of the other candidates appear to be playing for the leftovers. They’re trying to appeal to the shrinking minority of Republican voters who do not want Trump to be the nominee. But even if one of them could consolidate the Never-Trump vote, it’s still a small portion compared to the growing number of Republicans who see Trump favorably.
In other words, it’s a losing strategy. Any of them would have a better chance of being the replacement nominee should the Deep State take Trump down if they would defend Trump today. Instead, they’re all still fighting for the same anti-Trump voters.
Let’s call it what it is. The only thing that can prevent Donald Trump from being the nominee is the Deep State. If he is allowed to be the nominee, he WILL be the nominee. It’s telling that other Republican candidates are hoping for a Deep State victory.
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
