The government shutdown prompted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Trump to exchange insults in letters they sent about the scheduled State of the Union address that was initially scheduled for January 29. After the exchanges, the President agreed to wait until after the government shutdown had ended.
Now that it’s temporarily ended, Pelosi has stated it still isn’t going to happen as originally scheduled.

My Take
There has been no response to this development from the President. On Twitter, he’s more concerned about the border wall and distancing his 2016 campaign from Roger Stone.
But that doesn’t mean he’s not crafting a response for after the weekend. There isn’t a lot of time – in less than three weeks, the government will shut down again unless a deal can be made. Assuming it doesn’t get made, Pelosi has an opportunity to let the President speak and to offer a rebuttal, but she may not take that opportunity. Instead, she may try to keep the President off the airwaves, but that’s not going to happen.
One way or another, we can expect the President to take to national television before the end of the temporary shutdown to make his case for the border wall. Pelosi would be making a mistake if she doesn’t let it happen in her House.
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!
