Chalk this one up as freaky. Radical leftist “queer” journalist Josh Kruger posted an insult aimed at Dilbert creator Scott Adams for his prediction that electing Joe Biden would mean there’s “a good chance you’ll be dead…”
“The Dilbert dude is like Nostradamus. Look at this prediction from 2020. Wow. Eerie,” he posted.
Two days after that Tweet, he was murdered in his Philadelphia home, shot seven times. According to 6ABC:
The victim of a homicide in Philadelphia has been identified as a local journalist and community activist. Josh Kruger, 39, was shot seven times inside a home in the 2300 block of Watkins Street in the Point Breeze section around 1:30 a.m. Monday.
He died at Penn Presbyterian Hospital about 45 minutes later. There was no word on a motive for this shooting. No arrests have been made.
District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a statement that Kruger was an “openly queer writer who wrote about his own journey surviving substance use disorder and homelessness.”
Kruger was a journalist with bylines in multiple publications, including The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Magazine, The Philadelphia Citizen, WHYY and Billy Penn.
Philadelphia has become lawless under their Democrat Governor, Mayor, and Soros-backed District Attorney. This horrible crime following an eerie Tweet will get buried by corporate media despite the clear newsworthy nature of it.

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
