“Our country is being destroyed by stupid people, by very stupid people,” Donald Trump said during his town hall on CNN Wednesday night.
There are definitely stupid people in the Biden-Harris regime, including and especially the two people allegedly at the top of the White House food chain. But we have to be crystal clear in our recognition of the enemy. This nation isn’t being destroyed by stupid people. It’s being destroyed by extremely cunning, manipulative, and possibly even demonic individuals.
Declaring that they’re stupid makes for excellent campaign fodder but it belittles the predicament we’re in. If we are fighting stupidity, we can defeat that with common sense and disseminating the truth. Unfortunately, the true adversaries USE stupid people like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to push forth their machinations, but the actual powers-that-be are far from stupid.
Even the timing of the town hall itself represents a very clever move by the powers-that-be. They knew it would be a bloodbath. They knew Caitlan Collins was not up to the task of trying to contend with Trump. The chuckles and jeers aimed at her were expected. CNN fell on their sword, getting the minor benefit of a little extra advertising dollars in exchange for making themselves look worse than usual. But something big was needed to get patriots talking about anything other than the border crisis and judging by social media responses this morning, it worked wonderfully.
Trump’s victorious town hall trumped the lifting of Title 42 in the early news cycle, just as it was intended to do. For every article or video I’m seeing on social media about the border invasion that is happening right now, I see a dozen or more clips and articles about how Trump owned the libs.
We need to acknowledge that our adversary is far more intelligent than the two stooges they present to the world. Joe Biden is in charge of nothing and somehow Kamala Harris is in charge of even less. They are not the real enemies. They are the enemy’s red herrings, the sources of smokescreens needed to keep most Americans — especially patriots — either paying attention to the wrong things or not paying attention at all.
As much as I enjoyed most of Donald Trump’s responses Wednesday night, I have to file a complaint about him telling America that stupid people are destroying this country. Our true enemies are brilliant, and as much as it pains me to say that, it pains me even more to hear the threats against this country being downplayed as unintelligent.
If we are to believe it’s sheer incompetence that’s dragging us down, then we would address our problems in certain ways. But knowing that they’re not incompetent, that they’re actually achieving their goals of tanking the economy, rushing us toward war, and promoting a post-truth society, then we will address our problems very differently than if we’re dealing with idiots.
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
