A Michigan man allegedly set his own home on fire, killing five of his pets, in an attempt to be the victim of a hate crime. Police believe this was a hate hoax and have charged him with arson.
Nikki Joly, a transgender gay-rights activist, was seen by police on surveillance cameras buying gasoline the day of the arson that was likely used to start the fire at his home. Other circumstantial evidence puts him at his home when the fire was started, contradicting claims Joly made in his initial police filing.

Joly has been extremely active in fighting for transgender and gay rights in his community in Jackson, Michigan. He was even name 2018 Citizen of the Year:

It drew unprecedented crowds to City Council meetings and passed, despite some fervent opposition, so Nikki Joly grabbed hold of the momentum and went further. He put together the first Jackson Pride Parade and Festival, complete with a RuPaul impersonator in a leopard jumpsuit on Michigan Avenue.
Five days later, Joly’s house on Pringle Avenue, shared by his partner Chris Moore, burned in a fire determined to be arson.
“He knows that he is a target. And that is a hard way to live,” his friend Kim Cwynar said. “And yet, he perseveres, every single day. Stepping up to the plate, standing up for others, speaking up for others.”
For that tenacity and strength, his part in the historic legislation and his continued community volunteerism, Joly, 53, of Jackson has been named the 2018 Citizen of the Year.
My Take
If he is proven to be the person responsible for burning down his own home, the question that must be asked is, “Why?” The obvious answer may be that he wanted to get attention, but it seemed as if h was getting plenty of attention even before his home was burned to the ground.
These are strange times we live in. Victimhood seems to be the pinnacle of success in the eyes of many on the left. As real victims in other countries fight for their lives, why do some Americans seek to persecute themselves?
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!
