One of the biggest problems with many Democratic lawmakers is they believe their superior understanding of the world is necessary to invoke on others in order to protect them from themselves. In their worldview, there are the sensible progressive elites and then there is everyone else. The latter is far too simple-minded to make our own decisions We require mandates, rules, and laws to guide us to do the right thing. Without their authoritarian rule, we’ll just die off like the senseless animals they think we are.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg took this premise to the world stage to discuss taxing the poor. He believes the poor must be taxed higher in order to help them live longer. Seriously. As an example, he used his infamous soda tax that financially punished those of us who enjoy imbibing sugary carbonated drinks. He is correct in saying they aren’t good for us. He’s incorrect in saying it’s any of his or the government’s business mandating cuts to soda consumption through their “benevolent” taxes.
The thought that poor people are too stupid to make their own decisions is the force behind the Democrats’ authoritarian ideology. They embrace the nanny state because they believe we all need their sensibilities imposed on us. Without their nanny policies, we’re a lost species who will die faster and enjoy life less. It’s an absurd and conceited perspective, but their ego prevents them from seeing the insults they deliver. Unfortunately, the radical progressives who demand nannies for themselves and others will hear Bloomberg’s words and nod enthusiastically.
The 2020 nomination race for the Democrats is shaping up to be a race to avoid the bottom. Nobody is inspiring mass passionate support which is why Bloomberg claims he entered the race in the first place. Former Vice President Joe Biden is the “moderate” frontrunner by default. His competitor in the “moderate” lane, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, has failed miserably at inspiring minority voters. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have passion in their base, but it’s not big enough to easily secure the nomination and Bloomberg wouldn’t want them to even if they could.
All of this adds up to one conclusion: Democrats don’t have anyone who can unite them at this point. Perhaps someone will start resonating in the future, but right now it seems like Sanders may be the only candidate with a solid base, one that is likely too small to secure him a victory. Everyone else is searching for passion to back their run but are only finding failure, Bloomberg included.
Nobody is going to win the nomination. It’s going to go to whoever loses it the least. Bloomberg hopes to be that person, but will his message of “you’re too stupid to think for yourself” resonate with the left? Yes, actually. It probably will.

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!
