Despite fueling unprecedented domestic manufacturing, global dominance, and technological advancement throughout the last century, the American energy industry has been playing defense in recent decades. Activist environmentalism and liberal government bureaucrats have vilified oil and gas (not to mention nuclear), aggressively lobbying to curtail the discovery, drilling, and development of America’s natural resources.
Further compounding the issue, major financial institutions such as BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have enforced radical environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies, inflicting significant damage on industries like oil, gas, and coal. During President Biden’s administration, federal agencies issued an unrelenting stream of mandates, rules, and regulations that undermined the production of affordable, clean, and reliable energy.

The return of Donald Trump to the White House, however, has heralded a dramatic shift in the government’s approach to domestic energy policy. Trump’s inauguration and his day-one executive orders marked not only a return to the energy-friendly policies of his first administration but also a robust effort to reestablish America as the heart of global energy production.
Trump declared in his inaugural address, “The golden age of America begins right now.” Such a vision demands energy production on an unprecedented scale. Amid priorities like border security, bureaucratic reform, and addressing government overreach, Trump outlined a bold strategy for powering America’s future.
“Today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill,” Trump announced after taking the oath of office. He elaborated:
America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have: the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth. And we are going to use it. We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again, right to the top, and export American energy all over the world. We will be a rich nation again. And it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do 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
