Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party suffered a humiliating defeat yesterday as high unpopular Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party gained seats instead of losing them, as many had predicted. The spin game is in full swing in the United States as mainstream media pushes the story further back in the news cycle as quickly as possible while stifling any insinuation that comparisons should continue to be drawn between Corbyn and the American left, particularly Senator Bernie Sanders.
This is an idiotic move by the Democrat-friendly media, but I won’t stop them. Let them try to salvage and rework the narrative. The funny part is they finally had a narrative that was rooted in truth, that Corbyn and Sanders are extremely similar in the scope and style of their support. But that narrative could prove harmful to the Democratic Party is Sanders is nominated, so they’re pulling back the reins and heading in a different direction. In reality, this should be their moment to ask, “Wait a minute, you mean radical progressive ideas aren’t popular enough to win elections?”
But they won’t. They’ll deflect. The misdirect. They’ll find every reason possible to distance Sanders (and to some extent Elizabeth Warren) from any connection to Corbyn or the far-left turn down which he led his party. Perhaps it’s because they don’t have a moderate they’re confident in to take up the slack and defeat President Trump.
Now, let’s imagine how different the narrative would be if Corbyn DID win in the United Kingdom. We can speculate with a high degree of confidence that the narrative being spread on mainstream media today would be to draw as many comparisons between Corbyn and Sanders (and Warren) as possible. They would equate the win to a prelude to what Democrats are going to do in 2020. They’d even be saying the defeat of Brexit after its 2016 victory is perfectly aligned with what America will do in 2020 after President Trump’s 2016 victory. Jonathan Chait at New York Magazine pointed out evidence of this.
American Leftists Saw Corbyn’s Inevitable Victory As a Model
Many writers, not only on the left, detected parallels between the rise of Corbyn and the movement around Bernie Sanders. The latter is considerably more moderate and pragmatic than the former, and also not laden with the political baggage of Corbyn’s widely-derided openness to anti-Semitic allies. And yet many leftists have emphasized the similarities between the two, which are indeed evident. Both built youth-oriented movements led by cadres of radical activists who openly set out to destroy and remake their parties. Both lost in somewhat close fashion, Sanders in 2016 and Corbyn the next year. And fervent supporters of both men treated their narrow defeats as quasi-victories, proof of victory just around the corner.
But neither Brexit nor Johnson lost the election as the left had hoped. Now American media’s next mission is to pretend like Corbyn and Labour are completely different from Sanders and the Democrats. They’ll also try to pretend the UK is heading in the wrong direction while America seems to be heading in the right (which, in their view, is to the left) direction ideologically.
A Labour victory in the UK would have been heralded as a precursor to a Democratic victory here. But a Labour loss is being pushed by the media as completely unrelated to our 2020 elections. Thankfully, we know the truth.

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!
