Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a scoundrel, a billionaire snake who has backstabbed pretty much everyone he’s personally dealt with ever since rising to prominence. He spent over $400 million of his own money to prevent President Donald Trump from winning in 2020. His “platform” has been amongst the most egregious suppressors of speech for nearly a decade.
It’s important to understand the context surrounding Zuckerberg following a string of seemingly positive moves. First, he met with President Trump’s team to try to get involved with the administration. Then, he donated $1,000,000 to President Trump’s inauguration fund. Yesterday, he added Trump ally Dana White to the board at Meta. Now this…
🚨🇺🇸 ZUCKERBERG COPIES ELON: META DITCHING FACT-CHECKERS FOR COMMUNITY NOTES

According to Fox News:
Meta is ending its fact-checking program and lifting restrictions on speech to “restore free expression” across Facebook, Instagram and Meta platforms, admitting its current content moderation practices have “gone too far.”
“We’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a video posted Tuesday morning. “More specifically, we’re going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes similar to 𝕏, starting in the U.S.”
“Fact-checkers” have plagued Facebook for years. They are arguably the most biased of the “journalistic” censors out there and have been a total embarrassment for the company. Nevertheless, they’ve effectively subdued conservatives on the platform. Replacing them with “Community Notes” similar to 𝕏 is a welcomed change… if it’s real.
All of these are positive signs, which is why it’s important to remember the context. Everyone who has dealt with Zuckerberg over the last two decades has regretted it. That includes the Biden regime, which Zuckerberg exposed over the summer as “pressuring” him and his platform to engage in censorship.
Perhaps he’s really making a change, but we shouldn’t believe it until we see it for a long time. Does he deserve the benefit of the doubt? Absolutely not. He should be treated like the snake that he is, kept at arm’s length and with the assumption that no matter how “reformed” he seems today, he can bite back like a cornered viper at any moment.
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
