(Ryan DeLarme) We are at a transition period in this country, and in the same fashion that Lincoln didn’t just outright arrest the dissenters of the south, the patriots have chosen not to pull the trigger on the Deep-State; and instead, hope to unify the country rather than jump straight into the fire of war. They are allowing the people to see what happens now that the international financial elite have one of their own in the Whitehouse.

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
-Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address
We MUST become unified, and as more and more truth about the elected puppet officials propped up by the press and the corporate world comes out we see discontented Americans on both sides of the political aisle in agreeance on things once again. These are people who were at each other’s throats for the last 4 years, largely due to the international criminal corporate/foreign policy machine we call “The Deep-State” intentionally stoking the fires and creating rifts between friends and family.
As we’ve stated in previous reports, Trump falling into the background has put the publics’ crosshairs back on those who might actually be worthy of the people’s scrutiny. For example, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is all but removed from office, and though he still refuses to resign, much of his staff have stopped showing up for work. As the well-covered up nursing home scandal spreads in the public consciousness and now a seventh sexual harassment victim speaking out, we learn that the Deep-Staters are prepared to eat their own in front of everyone.
Hollywood, Big Tech, and the Legacy Media Going Down With the Ship?
Bidens presidency isn’t the only thing rapidly imploding. Cable news outlets, whose entire revenue model appeared to be based on covering Trump 24/7/365, have seen a sharp decline in viewership since his departure from the White House.
a cable news world without Donald Trump to kick around anymore isn’t a profitable or pleasant place.
The Daily Caller reports:
Former President Donald Trump’s departure from the White House has coincided with a sharp decline in viewership for numerous primetime cable news shows, a VIP analysis showed.
The size of the audience watching “CNN Tonight With Don Lemon” between March 1-5 was down by -32.5% compared to the average audience between Nov. 30-Dec. 4, 2020, before President Joe Biden’s inauguration and Trump’s impeachment trial, VIP showed in its analysis.
CNN shows appeared to suffer the most sizable slumps for audience numbers in that time period. “Anderson Cooper 360” had its average audience decrease by -32.2%, while “Cuomo Prime Time” saw a -28.5% decrease, according to the report.
It’s not much better over at MSNBC:
“All In With Chris Hayes,” featured on MSNBC, had its audience reduced by -16.7%, and “Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell,” also on MSNBC, had a decrease of -17.6%, VIP reported.
All said, Fox News, which featured Trump prominently in its own line-up as well, wasn’t “immune” from the president’s departure, though clearly, the network didn’t hemorrhage nearly as many eyeballs.
Laura Ingraham’s viewership fell by 9.2 percent; Sean Hannity lost about 11.9 percent of his viewers; and Tucker Carlson’s audience shrank by about 4.8 percent.
But again, the tanking numbers are far more pronounced over at the former “Airport Network.”
By mid-February and following Trump’s second impeachment, “Cuomo Prime Time” viewership sank 31.2 percent after getting a modest 7.7 percent increase the week of the trial.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” climbed 10.1 percent during the trial but bottomed out by 22.3 percent following the trial. She’s bottomed out before, by the way.
“The Capitol Building riot in January also impacted ratings, especially among the 25-54 age demographic. Anderson Cooper and Tucker Carlson were competitive in the first week of December, and Cooper’s show saw an audience bump with that age demographic in the few days following the Jan. 6 riot. But after Trump left office, Cooper soon began to trail Carlson,” The Daily Caller reported, citing the analysis.
It’s likely that these hosts are aware of their slumping numbers. It’s why they are increasingly saying things that are complete lunacy while acting out with crazed shoutfests at the screen and loud moral preening. If you’ll notice, the president is still a frequent topic of discussion despite the fact that he’s living large again in Mar-a-Lago, not 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and the decisions being made in the White House these days have nothing to do with him.
But while Trump continues to live rent-free in their heads, it’s clear that he’s not reciprocating. Rather, the president is strategizing with his advisers and key Republicans in Congress to take over the GOP by remaking it in his image. Seems like Trump is good for the cable news business. And bad for it. Now imagine this: What if Trump were to create his own media brand or take over an existing one? What would be left of the rest of cable news?
WaPo Drops the Ball
You might have heard about this one.
The Washington Post has issued a correction stating that the recording of a call that President Trump had last year reveals that the outlet had previously misquoted Trump based on information that a source had supplied.
“Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so,” the outlet noted. “Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now.’ A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump,” the Post said.

'You will notice that establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way—against me and against Republicans.'
But still an appreciation for the correction in un-Trump like reaction. pic.twitter.com/3sqKPbVbVB
— Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard) March 15, 2021
President Trump on Monday issued a statement in which he thanked the Post for issuing the correction.
“While I appreciate the Washington Post’s correction, which immediately makes the Georgia Witch Hunt a non-story, the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning. I would further appreciate a strong investigation into Fulton County, Georgia, and the Stacey Abrams political machine which, I believe, would totally change the course of the presidential election in Georgia,” Trump said in the statement.
“You will notice that establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way—against me and against Republicans. Meanwhile, stories that hurt Democrats or undermine their narratives are buried, ignored, or delayed until they can do the least harm—for example, after an election is over. Look no further than the negative coverage of the vaccine that preceded the election and the overdue celebration of the vaccine once the election had concluded. A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. This latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities—not journalistic enterprises. In any event, I thank the Washington Post for the correction,” Trump said.
Twitter Under Duress
The pressure isn’t solely being placed on legacy media outlets, but social media as well. The digital highschool lunchroom known as Twitter is seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a child sex trafficking victim and relying on Section 230 (Big surprise!) to do so. The controversial section of the Communications Decency Act, which has recently come under fire from conservatives, is a critical part of Twitter’s argument for the dismissal of the case.
“Given that Twitter’s alleged liability here rests on its failure to remove content from its platform, dismissal of the Complaint with prejudice is warranted on this ground alone,” the social media platform argued.
“The lawsuit, filed in January, is accusing the Silicon Valley company of knowingly benefiting financially from the dissemination of sexual abuse material when it failed to immediately act on multiple complaints and correspondences asking it to remove the illegal and hurtful content,” the Epoch Times summarizes.
“Twitter is not a passive, inactive, intermediary in the distribution of this harmful material; rather, Twitter has adopted an active role in the dissemination and knowing promotion and distribution of this harmful material,” the lawsuit notes before blaming “Twitter’s own policies, practices, business model, and technology architecture.”
The lawsuit also outlines how Twitter failed to report child sexual abuse content in a timely fashion, allowing the content to be viewed over 167,000 times and re-tweeted 2,200 times before it was removed.
Twitter defended the delay by emphasizing how the “sheer volume” of Tweets posted to the platform render it “simply not possible for Twitter … to remove all offending content immediately or accurately in all cases.”
But they seem to have no trouble removing posts concerning things like Election fraud, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Vaccine deaths, Hydroxychloroquine, etc.
And most recently, Twitter has banned linking to the popular YouTube alternative Bitchute under the pretense that the site allows “harmful” content. Funny that they don’t consider human trafficking as harmful.
Twitter doesn’t identify who their “partners” are that made the censorship demand. The tactic applies to all content posted from BitChute, essentially locking off one of the Internet’s largest streaming services from Twitter. This represents a Soviet-style internet, in which the free flow of information is blocked off on grounds of political repression. This tactic may very well amount to anti-competitive practices and could land Twitter in court, with legal challenges to the Big Tech platform’s monopoly growing.
But the patriot’s arent taking it laying down.
There are rumblings and rumors of Trump starting some kind of multi-media venture, possibly starting his own news network, or even taking over one that already exists, but these are only rumors and there is no substantial evidence yet that is in the works.
However, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is planning to start his own social media company after being banned by Twitter for questioning the integrity of the 2020 election. While appearing on Charlie Kirk’s podcast, Lindell revealed his plans to start a new social media website, who told Kirk, “We’re launching this big platform so all the voices of our country can come back and start telling it like it is again.”
“You will not need YouTube,” said Lindell. “You won’t need these places. So it will be where everything can be told because we’ve got to get our voices back.” Lindell added that the website will be pro-free speech, adding, “People will be able to talk and not walk on eggshells.”

Facebook Employee Sounds the Alarm
“I Work for a Company that is Doing a Lot of Damage in the World”
What a statement, and far from an understatement. A senior executive at Facebook was captured on video by Project Veritas warning of the damage Facebook is causing the world.
FOX News reported:
A Facebook executive has been caught on tape sounding the alarm about how “powerful” the company has gotten and calling for the federal government to intervene and break up the tech giant.
Newly released recordings from the right-wing guerilla news outlet Project Veritas show Benny Thomas, Facebook’s Global Planning Lead, speaking candidly with undercover journalists over the past several weeks.
“I work for a company that is doing a lot of damage in the world,” Thomas is heard saying. “It’s doing a lot of good, but it’s doing a lot of damage.”
“I mean, no king in history has been the ruler of two billion people, but Mark Zuckerberg is,” Thomas said of Facebook’s CEO. “And he’s 36. That’s too much for a 36-year-old … You should not have power over two billion people. I just think that’s wrong.”
James O’Keefe was on with Sean Hannity a few months ago and he discussed Twitter’s creepy CEO Jack Dorsey who on a conference call noted that Twitter will be targeting President Trump’s account and many more.
Cancel Culture Boomerang
Interestingly enough, this video compilation was made last year but some of the clips were pulled from even later dates. If members of the entertainment world thought and said this back then, imagine what they’d say now?
MSM and Hollywood have essentially taken themselves out by the very weapon they’ve created to wield against us. We know their end is inevitable because the power lies with us, the consumer. We are now taking back that power day by day, slowly cutting off their supply to stay sustainable. Hollywood/MSM have much bigger problems down the pipeline, we know this. But until then, we are what’s making them feel this pain.
Let’s recognize this for what it is – a boomerang. It may be slow and, at times, it may be painful but it doesn’t change the end result.

In other celebrity-related news, we saw American writer, lawyer, actor, comedian, Speechwriter, and commentator Ben Stein release a video warning people about the Moderna vaccine.

Election Fraud Updates
While the national press has declared the improprieties of the 2020 presidential election a closed story, conservatives across the country still want to know just how much fraud took place, leading to the discovery of emails shedding light on the influence a New York Democrat operative held over ballot counting in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
This week, the Empower Wisconsin Foundation’s publication Wisconsin Spotlight published a report detailing the revelations contained in hundreds of pages of emails and documents detailing the disbursement of hundreds of millions of dollars in grant money from the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a group funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ostensibly to “protect American elections” and “bolster democracy during the pandemic.”
In Green Bay, $1.6 million of that money led to Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein of the National Vote at Home Institute being made a “grant mentor,” functioning as what the Spotlight calls “the de facto city elections chief,” including “access to boxes of absentee ballots before the election,” despite his past work for several Democrat candidates, including “fiercely liberal” former New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.

Green Bay city clerk Kris Teske originally declined the request but was overridden by pressure from the office of Democrat Mayor Eric Genrich, and ultimately resigned in October.
As per Lifesitenews :
“As you know I am very frustrated, along with the Clerk’s Office,” she wrote to Green Bay Finance Director Diana Ellenbecker in August. “I don’t know what to do anymore. I am trying to explain the process but it isn’t heard. I don’t feel I can talk to the Mayor after the last meeting you, me, Celestine, and the Mayor had even though the door is supposedly open. I don’t understand how people who don’t have knowledge of the process can tell us how to manage the election.”
“Wisconsin election law clearly spells out that municipal clerks are in charge of administering elections,” the Spotlight’s MD Kittle writes. Wisconsin Voters Alliance and Thomas More Society attorney Erick Kaardal “said CTCL’s election security funding came with conditions that bound the city to give these left-leaning actors power they could not legally take. The mayor and his team, as well as the city council, had no legal right to limit the clerk’s role in the elections, or take them over.”
The emails also show left-wing activists devising ways to weaken election observation further still under the guise of COVID-19 social distancing. “At one point, a city official, after talking with a representative from the National Vote at Home Institute, was ‘brainstorming’ about how the city could livestream Central Count at city hall ‘so that (election observers) do not enter the building,’” Kittle adds.
Wisconsin isn’t the only state with Election fraud updates, as 25 million voter registration applications were found in Georgia this last week. Dekalb County, on the east side of metro Atlanta, with a population significantly less than one million, possibly ordered in November of last year after the general election, 25 million voter registration applications.
Dekalb was suspiciously slow on the evening of the GA Senatorial runoff election on January 5th of this year.
You can see the receipt below.
What could possibly be the reason for this order? At the very least, this needs to be investigated by GA election officials and law enforcement.
You be the judge.
Where’s the Hope?
The answer is easy: it’s all around us all of the time. We as co-creators of this reality need only tune into it, it’s always there, hardcoded eternally into our existence. It may not always be easy to see, sometime we must live under dark clouds, but the stars are still there shinning away whether we can see them or not.
Take this interview with General Micheal Flynn, a man who seems far from defeated. He is charged with hope and with faith, and despite what some of us may believe about religion or spirituality, when faced with quite possibly one of the hardest tasks the country has ever faced, faith or some deeply personal emboldening philosophy becomes essential.
General Flynn Speaks
Our friend and comrade on the digital battlefield Dustin Nemos attended an event in Florida this last week where the people’s General Michael Flynn gave a speech on how we can get involved at the local levels.
Flynn also appeared on the Pete Santilli Show, claiming that if he hadn’t been taken out of the picture early on into the Trump Presidency, there wouldn’t have even been a Mueller investigation. Take a listen:
Now we are going to veer into speculation for a moment with a video that has been making the rounds alleging that Nancy Pelosi is being escorted around by US Marshalls.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/UIlh9FMR00gg/
We cannot yet confirm or disprove whether or not these are indeed US Marshalls, (perhaps these are handlers?) but we do know that 2000 members of the National Guard were deputized as US Marshalls when the NG first began arriving in DC before the inauguration.
Per 18 U.S.C. § 3053, U.S. Marshals and Deputies have the authority to arrest anyone WITHOUT a warrant for any offense against the United States.
18 U.S. Code § 3053 – Powers of marshals and deputies
United States marshals and their deputies may carry firearms and may make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony.

Many things aren’t adding up about the current presidency and the high weirdness occurring in DC. Check out this video:
Interesting, to say the least.
And this brings us to our last little hopeful tidbit…
45’s Shadow Presidency
We have supported the claim that Donald Trump is waging a political shadow campaign and is drawing fire from the Democratic Party’s praetorian guard. The usual suspects are claiming his mission to reshape the political landscape is ‘adrift.’ Politico lobbed a grenade at Trump with an attack piece on Sunday.
Donald Trump is playing “team ball” with the Republican Party. He has already backed a significant number of Senate candidates for the mid-terms.
“Trump has already officially endorsed Boozman, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Jerry Moran of Kansas and John Kennedy of Louisiana,” Politico reported. “In addition, Hoeven said Trump is supportive of his campaign. Trump is also encouraging former NFL running back Herschel Walker to run against Sen. Raphael Warnock.”
On Friday, Florida Senator Rick Scott shared a photo of his recent meeting with Donald Trump.
Great meeting with President Trump last night!

“We are all focused on winning back the Senate majority in 2022 and saving our country from the radical policies of today’s Democrat Party,” Scott tweeted.
In addition, he backed Julia Letlow for a House seat in Louisiana, after her husband tragically passed away from COVID.

Donald Trump also suggested that his daughter-in-law Lara Trump may make a bid for a U.S. Senate seat. At a surprise visit to a charity event on Sunday, he hinted that it was potentially in the cards.
https://twitter.com/timallanwalker/status/1370488136707543043?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1370488136707543043%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeckernews.com%2Ftrumps-shadow-campaign-all-the-political-candidates-hes-endorsed-so-far-37707%2F
The news media is already desperately spinning to diminish Trump’s role as kingmaker. But to tens of millions of Trump voters who are seeking payback after the 2020 election debacle, his leadership will be a vital compass to navigate America’s uncharted waters.
As ever, we remain hopeful while envisioning a true unification of the American population. We’ll leave off with an IMG of the Peoples General:
The Hope we crave is all around us if we only dare to embrace the truth with a whole heart and discerning mind.
