As JD Rucker noted yesterday, President Trump and the media have America’s collective attention turned towards childish athletes and how Americans should handle the dishonor they bring to this nation. It’s a big topic, but it’s not the topic that should be dominating our current news cycle.
We should be talking about Obamacare, Iran, the new travel ban, and dozens of other important topics, but the threat posed by North Korea is, in my humble opinion, the most important topic right now. It’s an existential topic, one that has potential consequences that reach much further than whether or not we should watch football on Sundays.
Kim Jong-un is a mad man who might have nuclear weapons capable of hitting our allies at the very least and the mainland United States in the worst-case-scenario. The words sent back and forth last week during and after the United Nations summit were more than rhetoric. They truly want to destroy us. When the least-predictable world leader thinks he needs to destroy America, this shouldn’t be a topic relegated to page 3. The NFL #TakeTheKnee story is a cultural blip on America’s radar… at least it should be.
A North Korean ambassador declared that an attack on the United States is “inevitable.” This is far worse than the aggressively defensive stance the isolated nation has taken in the recent past. Meanwhile, the White House is making it crystal clear that all options, including a preemptive military strike, are on the table. We even buzzed North Korea over the weekend with a bomber and a squadron of fighters to remind them we’re here and we can take them down.
Before our patriotic nature kicks in and we start calling for Neocon-level interventions, we need to look at the situation for what it really means. Depending on how thing go down, it’s very possible that any military conflict with North Korea could be the first domino that brings in China, Russia, and other interested nations. We’re not talking about an isolated MOAB being dropped in Afghanistan. We’re talking about a major world power with tenuous but intact relations with the largest nation on the planet.
Do not take this lightly. We could be on the brink of a world war. We’re actually closer to that being the case than we have been since the end of the Cold War. The difference is that today we have a truly deranged man with the ability to force our hand sitting in Pyongyang. We also have President Trump on the opposite side who seems to be much more hawkish than he claimed to be during the 2016 campaign.
Take a look at these perspective stories below. Share them. It’s time to turn the conversation away from football players and start focusing on the important topics of our day. North Korea is at the top.

North Korea Says a Nuclear Attack on the United States is Inevitable
North Korea’s foreign minister was front and center in the highly coveted Saturday afternoon slot to give his speech to the UN General Assembly. He did not disappoint. Apparently, someone threatening to nuke us is not important enough to merit a transcript so I’m working from several news reports.
Steven Mnuchin reiterates ‘all options on the table’ against North Korea
President Trump has asserted a strike by North Korea against the United States or its allies would be met with an overwhelming response. During United Nations remarks this week Trump referred to Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, as “Rocket Man” and warned of potentially obliterating the country.

Can America Convince China to Subdue a Nuclear North Korea? | The National Interest
First of all, China might well have a high interest in gaining assurances that if the North Korean regime collapses and the two Koreas are unified, the United States will not move its troops to the border with China. (It may well prefer for the entire Korean Peninsula to become a neutral buffer zone). This is a no- or low-cost proposition for the United States, because once the North Korean nuclear program folds or the regime collapses, the United States should be quite content not to move its troops north.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
