“The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where it instead leads to increased awareness of that information. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project’s photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.” – Wikipedia
Barbra Streisand’s infamous incident may be small potatoes compared to what has happened with the Daily Wire‘s documentary, “What Is a Woman?” The Matt Walsh film was supposed to get some new attention with its release on Twitter, but man-made problems created by ultra-woke employees at the company hampered it. The Tweet with the video was censored, suppressed, given warning labels, and users were prevented from sharing it. Its reach was intentionally limited until Elon Musk stepped in. Twice.
Now, it’s sitting at over 133 MILLION views and rising. If the radical leftists at Twitter had done nothing at all, the video would have been lucky to break 5 million views. Lest we forget, this wasn’t a premier. The documentary was released last year. It wasn’t even particularly pertinent today as many leftists have come to grips with the lunacy of their inability to define “woman” last year.
The documentary as a whole is a necessary wake up call for those who have been indoctrinated and it offers excellent ammunition for those of us who are fighting to prevent the spread of LGBTQIA+ supremacy.
As Musk noted, this is an example of “world champion Streisand Effect!”
Definitely world champion Streisand Effect! This is being covered almost everywhere on Earth.

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,
