(WND)—Scrolling through Twitter on Tuesday, I came across a sober video message from celebrity gadabout Paris Hilton. Dressed down in a modest track suit, Ms. Hilton sounded all the word like what the media might call a “QAnon fanatic.”
“And I really hope this is a lesson to people out there that if you’re abusing children, I will find out, I will find you. I will come with my huge spotlight and shine it on wherever you are.”
“This has been happening for decades, and people are just getting away with it. Not anymore,” said Hilton, who claims to have spoken to “thousands of survivors.”
A celebrity while still a teen, Hilton was apparently a “survivor” herself. As revealed in the explosive new five-part 2024 Max series, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” Hollywood has long been a hotbed of child sex abuse.
The show focuses on Nickelodeon and its disgraced producer Dan Schneider. Not surprisingly, Schneider was a friend of the Obamas.
In 2012, an election year, Schneider produced a show on the long-running series “iCarly” that featured Michelle Obama and her “Joining Forces” initiative. Network president Cyma Zarghami was paraphrased as saying that the episode was “in no way a political statement.” Of course not.
Those were the circles in which high-profile Democrats ran. Malia Obama interned with Harvey Weinstein. Bill Clinton logged frequent-flyer miles on Jeffrey Epstein’s “Lolita Express.”
Hillary Clinton intimate Huma Abedin married pervert Anthony Weiner. A few years earlier, Hollywood gave child rapist Roman Polanski a standing O and an Oscar.
In 2020, Barack Obama did a one-on-one interview with the granddaughter of Democrat mega donor Edgar Bronfman, Hannah Bronfman, a reputed “influencer.” A month prior, Hannah’s aunt Clare was sentenced to 81 months in prison for her role in a sex trafficking ring that did not check the IDs of its young female victims.
During the years this was going on, the media savaged anyone associated in any way with the mysterious QAnon given its strong association with a conspiracy known as “Pizzagate.” This reputed high-level ring of pedophiles involves, most prominently, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chair.
The Left, of course, ridicules Pizzagate, and the respectable conservative media dare not even mention it, but before readers dismiss it, they might watch the movie “Out of Shadows.”
Among the people featured in the film is Liz Crokin, a veteran reporter and columnist who sacrificed any career ambitions she might have had to report on child sex trafficking.
Said Crokin, “I was basically embraced by the mainstream media until I started reporting on Pizzagate.” Her deconstruction of the coded language in the Podesta emails obtained by Wikileaks could make Hillary sweat.
“I’d be willing to debate anyone who thinks Pizzagate has been debunked,” said Crokin. She is dismayed that “there has not been one single investigation into any of it.”
The media’s eagerness to tar anyone who addressed the pedophilia issue with the “QAnon” brush says more about the media than about the person tarred.
If one googles “Liz Crokin,” for instance, the first item that appears after her Wikipedia page is a CNN article from 2022 headlined, “Trump Poses with QAnon, Pizzagate Conspiracy Theorist at Mar-a-Lago.”
In the summer of 2023, the tide started turning. “Sound of Freedom,” a film about real-life Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent Tim Ballard’s efforts to stop child sex trafficking, proved to be a box office hit.
The film’s success surprised the media. Critics were anticipating a dud. Disney, after all, had sat on the finished product for five years before selling the rights back to the producers.
The film’s marketability was not the issue for Disney. The film’s message was. Disney’s history with the sexual abuse of minors was as bad as Nickelodeon’s.
Explained Time magazine, the film became “mired in controversy over criticisms that it features misleading depictions of child exploitation and plays into right-wing conspiracy theories associated with the QAnon movement.”
The fact that the film was made before anyone even heard of QAnon only made the Left more anxious. Those “theories” suddenly seemed less fanciful.
So why has the Left started noticing? Paris Hilton seems to have no ulterior motive, but savvy Democrats do. They do not want Donald Trump to be reelected.
While many on the Left ridiculed those concerned with child sex trafficking, Trump screened “Sound of Freedom” at his New Jersey golf course. He has made sex trafficking his issue.
In a blistering takedown of his Democrat allies last week, liberal provocateur Bill Maher addressed “Quiet on Set” and explored the reason why progressives tolerated allies like Schneider whose run at Nickelodeon lasted 25 years.
“We’re so tribal now,” said Maher, “The Left will overlook [child abuse] if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.” To prove his liberal credentials, I should add, Maher used a phrase more vulgar, much more, than “child abuse.”
A party that’s OK with “killing babies” – a phrase Maher has actually used to describe abortion – does not have soul enough to care about the sex trafficking of children. The party is, however, strategic enough to care until November.

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
