(Breitbart)—On this week’s edition of Fox News Sunday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) criticized left-wing arguments against efforts to rein in the Trump administration’s spending.
The Ohio Republican cited an example of a media effort to highlight a cut at a national park, calling it “pretty darn crazy.”
“Well, do you worry, though, that goodwill that the American people are like, ‘Yes, I need to know what’s going on with my tax dollars and, no, I’m not OK with a lot of this stuff?’ host Shannon Bream said. “Federal workers haven’t been the most empathetic characters for a lot of Americans, but now they’re starting to hear their stories that entire offices are wiped out, people are crying, they’re completely unnerved and have no idea how their agencies are going to run.”
“Shannon, I grabbed this headline: National parks in chaos after today’s Washington Post story,” Jordan replied. “Here’s the first paragraph, California National Park, the Trump administration fired the only locksmith on staff. Next sentence. He was fired. He was the sole employee with keys and institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms. Now if that isn’t — I mean, that’s the best you can do? The real question is, how do visitors get locked in restrooms? I mean, this is how ridiculous some of this thing is.”
“So maybe there have been some mistakes made, but I think the intensity and the focus on getting rid of the wasteful spending,” he continued. “The one guy who can unlock people who somehow get locked in a restroom at a national park? This is ridiculous. So the arguments, I think, you’re seeing from the left are pretty darn, pretty darn crazy. When you think about, oh, we’re spending money for the crazy things of a trans-comic opera in wherever. I mean, come on, so.”
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
