Something important that’s being missed with the Jimmy Kimmel saga…
By spreading the vile lie that Charlie was assassinated by MAGA, the implicit message from Kimmel was clear: If you kill a conservative, we will cover for you. We will whitewash the murder because we don’t think conservatives deserve to live. Kill more. Assassinate more. We have your back.
This is evil.
Executives at ABC rightly received a deluge of complaints from affiliates. They asked Kimmel to apologize for lying and he refused, instead vowing to double down. Only then did he get canned.
Networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS enjoy massive taxpayer supported privileges and advantages because they are supposed to contribute to the “public good.” Those privileges come with a responsibility to not knowingly spread harmful lies like the one Kimmel was spreading.
Jimmy Kimmel is not a victim. He’s a liar.
Jimmy Kimmel is not a martyr. Charlie is.
Let’s keep that straight.
I’ve wanted to write this story for awhile, but every time I try, I end up deleting it.
So if you’re reading this, I finally did it…
I think my red-pill journey is likely very different from most, but starts very similarly.
It starts with apathy and empathy.
A surprisingly dangerous combination.
In my late teens/early 20s, I barely paid attention to the news. I read the headlines and that was enough for me to glean “the news”.
As I navigated getting my first corporate job, the dating scene, social media… I think somewhere along the way incentives just slowly aligned for a more liberal worldview.
At work, talk about politics was taboo… except for when people dunked on Trump. Then it was just considered great humor. You want to fit in, you’re young, you haven’t done the research, you’re busy… you join in.
The same is true is dating. The same is true in social media.
You watch as people are ostracized for saying anything pro-Trump, ever. You see headlines day after day of Trump being a Russian spy, random clips of what seem like crazy statements, university professors and “expert” just dunking on Trump and Republicans all day.
You read things like the “Muslim Ban” and heartbreaking stories of refugees and kids in cages… you read these stories and your empathy for those who are hurting, is sky high.
…and then you read these stories every single day
That’s the news. That’s your co-workers. That’s your dating life. That’s the TV at the gym. That’s the push notification on your phone.
It’s everywhere.
It was my choice not to do the research to find out the truth… but at the same time, I thought that if the same story was being repeated by EVERYONE, there was no chance it could be false, right?
That there was no possibility that there was a gigantic political bent to stories because then they would be called out by “true journalists” for the bias…
…so you just believe them, because everyone, seemingly everywhere is telling you all the same stories
Until one day.
One day… the story you hear from the news is one you know better than anyone else on the planet.
Because you are living it.
And you watch the news, you get the push notifications and you walk out your front door… and it’s just not true.
Hurricane Helene was that watershed moment for me.
The moment where the news, the experts, the Democrats, the media, the politicians, the activists… and my reality in Western North Carolina were polar opposites.
I watched as the media moved on from Helene as the election grew closer.
I watched as FEMA failed to deliver aid fast enough.
I watched as the Biden administration handed HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars to Ukraine while I was on the phone with victims begging to not get kicked out of their FEMA hotel rooms into the snow.
I got the text messages of people panicking being declined from FEMA.
I drove the RVs to kids and their mom’s LIVING IN SHEDS WITH PROPANE HEATERS.
I lived through it.
I did the work the government promised it would do… and failed.
I did the reporting the MEDIA I TRUSTED said it would do… and never did.
Then, and only then, did I realize that the matrix I was in… was truly a house of cards.
The “experts” weren’t the experts.
The journalists weren’t unbiased.
The government didn’t care about us more than their arbitrary rules.
The help that was promised to come for so many… just never came.
It took one little push on the walls of that house of cards… that I had been too scared to do for so long for everything to come crashing down.
Some never push.
It’s safe in that house. It’s great to never be called a bigot, a fascist, a liar.
It’s great to never have your job threatened or opportunities taken away from you.
It’s great to not be swatted, sent death threats, or lose friends.
The house is safe.
But it’s also a lie.
And I get why many, many people never want to push on the walls of that house to find out if it’s real.
The cost is so, so high.
But there comes a point where the cost of denying the truth becomes greater than the safety of living in the house.
Because if the house is made of cards… then it really never was all that safe.
One little breath of truth could make it come tumbling down anyways.
So you leave… and yes for me, all the terrible things I mentioned above did happen.
They still do.
But my life and my family’s life, is so much better for it.
The truth will set you free.
I don’t know if anyone reading this would actually change their mind… but I hope it does.
I just got off the phone with President Trump!!
I told him about my new bill I am introducing that will save America’s elections from ever being stolen again!
My bill will require the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct a new census immediately upon enactment of the bill. In conducting the new census of the U.S. population, it shall require questions determining the citizenship of each individual, and count US citizens only.
Upon completion of the census, the bill will direct states to immediately begin a redistricting of all U.S. House seats process using only the population of United States citizens.
Thank you President Trump for your strong support of my bill, Making American Elections Great Again!!!
Let’s get this done!!!
Joe Rogan calls out American bread
“Our bread is so f*cked — We're f*cking poisoned”
People are not gluten intolerant, they’re poison intolerant. Here’s the breakdown
“In America what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe. See, here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain
- About 200 years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber in nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead
- Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize
Therefore many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity and inflammation.
- But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas
- The bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK and even China
- Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut
So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired and blamed gluten. But gluten is just the scapegoat.
The real issue is ultra processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread.”
