The national media outlets and the Democrats are currently mired in a conjoined, downward spiral. The public approval of both entities has been eroding, and the main cause is in the way that they are interlocked. Neither shows interest in addressing – let alone repairing – the problem. Instead, the Dems and the press appear convinced their entrenched activism and anti-Trump positioning will see them through.
Call it narrative obsession, 80/20 allegiance, or just plain emotional fervor, whichever label you choose, the reality is mutually assured destruction. This is due to the approach to any issue being centered on what Trump’s position might be; it has been automatic resistance, the facts and details be damned. This has led to these two foundering groups taking up support for unpopular or even downright repugnant positions.
This list shows how far they have fallen down the anti-Trump rabbit hole. Try to imagine supporting one or two of these selections and you are meeting a challenge. Yet, we have seen rabid backing of these from the press and the Democrats since January.
Pro-Government Waste
Even before the inauguration, an announced plan to have Elon Musk heading up DOGE to curb government spending and cut down the size of the government has led to wailing. Despite years when Democrats have pledged verbally to cut down on waste, fraud, and abuse in government, when they and the media actually see their lip service put into action they have recoiled and shrieked at the effects. All reports are strictly about negative effects and supposition; lies about the moves predominate, and the journalists who refuse to look for the wasteful discoveries claim there is no evidence of waste being found.
Anti-Women’s Autonomy
For generations, women’s rights have been trumpeted in the press, and the Republicans are always the misogynistic oppressors. Yet, when a bill was passed to protect women’s athletics and shield them from male incursions in private spaces, the press cheered on the unanimous Democrat vote against these protections. […]

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
