My digital landscape is changing post election
I’m moving to Parler, MeWe, OAN, and Newsmax.
The pre-election panel discussion on Sunday, Nov. 1st seems ages ago. It is amazing how time slows down when your are in a nightmare.
Yet, one answer I gave regarding a my response to a Biden victory resonates very strongly with me now: If Biden wins, we will need websites like Legal Insurrection more now than ever before.
After enduring the complete fiasco of election night coverage on Fox News, I had to take a break from all mainstream media news coverage. It was crystal clear that ‘journalists” were going to drive the narrative that Biden won, and discount or minimize the legal challenges and ground reports indicating serious problems with the vote count.
I have to be honest: I took the weekend off, crawled into my comfy corner with a good book and a cup of cocoa, and let the anger and disappointment wash out of me.
It’s going to be hard to continue review, analyze and share what passes as “news” in this country, as determined by the elite, self-serving globalists who reign in the DC-NYC Beltway. However, #WalkAway Movement founder provided some needed inspiration in a tweet:
https://twitter.com/BrandonStraka/status/1325168687897194496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
And while I don’t have a cowboy hat, I certainly can put on my imaginary one and continue to cover the realities of progressive science and technology policies, should that be necessary. Granted, I may have to rely on the foreign press much more to do so. But the alternative would be to let the propaganda outlets that our media has become to go unchallenged…and that I will not do.
Legal Insurrection’s team is going to continue its campus activism and investigations. Local fights for liberty and freedom will become much more important, and stories published here won’t be throttled, shadow-banned, or hidden behind false content warnings.
However, it is clear that we be returning to the days before Facebook and Twitter to share links in comments, and items through email. Supporting the small, but effective, conservative news and political analysis sites will be critical to our success, mental health, and spiritual strength.
I am using the next week to change-up my approaches to social media. Like Glenn Reynolds, I am taking my entire political content over to MeWe.com, rather than letting Facebook suppress it. I will retain my account for the personal relationships I have built.
My Twitter activities will be limited to supporting a few of my favorites and collecting quotes. It will be Parler for all the rest.
Otherwise, I will be leaving all other social media. I don’t want social justice activists using me as a product.
Fox News is gone. Completely….after having been a staple since 2000. I sure hope some of my favorite hosts transition to OAN or NewsMax.
I haven’t hit The Drudge Report in a year. I have found Rantingly.com and Citizen Free Press solid replacements.
As Hollywood has made it clear it despises my values, my entertainment will be confined to old movies and good books. I don’t anticipate going to a theater again.
Products that use social justice antics to market will not be purchased. I will also make it a point to avoid buying absolutely anything made in China, to ensure the Chinese profit as little as possible.
I am going through my financial plans now, to determine how best to lower my tax footprint if necessary. Washington DC will profit as little from me as possible, as it is clear it no longer represents me.
In terms of the next election cycle, this is 110% true for me:
We will remember & hold accountable those elected Republicans,
who do not fully support President Trump during this time.
Silence is consent.

The time of personal realignment has just begun.
Whatever other plans I make in the future, there are a few actions I will take with certainty. I will not roll over. I will never accept a Biden administration as legitimate. And I will continue to work to get the best possible information to our Legal Insurrection friends.

I like your plan, Leslie.
Leslie, going forward, provide links to relevant stories on these other websites. It’d help drive traffic to them.
Gab is good. It does not exist in a cloud.
Every time my Apple computer updates it removes Gab and they try to find ways to make it hard to get back.
More than that, Gab is hardened against deplatforming. Because every web service known to man has deplatformed them, they had to develop their own services and servers.
If a service dislikes Parler, it doesn’t have it’s own infastructure and it will be in a world of hurt.
Their TOS and Privacy Policy are not quite as “upyours” as Twitter’s & Parler’s, either (I’ve actually read them).
It’s a shame that Parler has been anointed the conservative Twitter replacement. I hate the interface. Gab is much better.
If you figure out a way to watch Tucker Carlson without touching FOX let me know. I’d like to still watch him, but they are getting zero clicks or views, so if it’s a choice I just lose Tucker.
They will fire him soon. They just need an excuse and he will be making videos on Bitchute.
I’d imagine he’s locked in with a big contract.
Probably just wait. No way he stays there much longer, he’s either going to quit or they’re going to fire him.
Simple. Go to duckduckgo and search for “fox news live stream”.
No, still registers as a click for Fox that way.

You can catch Tucker a day late on Bitchute.
Each episode is posted on YT and taken down 24 hours later. It is put up by someone named Mike. You have to watch a minute or so of his commercial, then it is posted in its entirety. If I can find the full name, I’ll post it for you.

I don’t do social media, TV or movies. Refuse to give someone my time and money like that so they can tell me how much they hate my guts.
Good on you, Leslie. As Ann Rand wrote: “Never support those who would destroy you.”
I never understood why people allowed the likes of Facebook and Twitter into their lives. Independent media such as legalinsurrection is the future of media for those who want to hear the truth. Main Stream Media has killed themselves…
.
Thanks, Leslie, for your continued good work at LI. This posts serves as a fine blueprint for all conservatives and other non-Democrats.
I ditched my Twitter account this week, and joined Parler a few months ago. Our TV diet is heavy on Newsmax and light on Fox News.
For serious laughs, we go to CNN for 60 seconds or less.
I tried watching OAN election night. The swooshing and swirling blue waves, spinning White House, rotating star distracting from the visuals, and a white glob of snot flying left to right on a blurred white bar every several seconds were too annoying. Fox meets CNN at least visually.
Not crazy about Newsmax either. Sean Spicer is a terrible host. I really enjoyed Graham Ledger on OAN but he seems to have disappeared.
Graham Ledger has his own podcast called the Ledger Report. You can listen to him on Stitcher or Apple podcasts, or go to his website – Grahamledger.com and download the app. His podcast is really terrific and he says exactly what’s on his mind without mincing words.
Ditto.
“”I have found Rantingly.com and Citizen Free Press solid replacements.””
Also LibertyDaily and Politipage.
I tried to sign up for Parler both on my phone and the computer. Captcha will not verify me as a human no matter how many times I put in the correct code.
Same here.
Were you trying to do it on an Apple phone or device by any chance? I tried on both an iPad and iPhone and had the same experience, then had no problem logging in on my Lenovo laptop.
I wish I watched Fox and belonged to FB and Twitter so I could quit them. But I don’t, so I can’t. Still I can spit whenever someone says their name.
https://youtu.be/yio3Pin43eA
Well said I am doing much the same, though I must add that Trump, GOP State legislature’s and Patriots need to fight the election fraud battle till the last dog dies.
This IS the hill to die on.
As Churchill said never give me n and never give up.
This country is worth fighting for and we have a leader with 10s of millions of American supporters willing to fight for freedom and the future of the nation and the free world.
It would be nice if the LI writers would be clearer on who they are linking to by stating so and not making us remember to verify the link before the click. Do more extract of the article and not just a link.
When President Trump was starting out with the Executive Orders, this website would link to CNN, Fox, etc for their evaluation of the EO, which many times was wrong.
I ended up going to the WH website, printing out the EO to read, and then provide the link in the comments. Basic history training – go to the original documentation.
I also have noted that some sources are typing President Elect Biden and Vice President Elect Harris, even President Obama, while using Trump and Pence with no titles.
One more point – start looking for good conservatives to run for local, state, and federal offices in 1-2 years. And, the party should try to get people together on a few options not the mass clown show which splits up the votes and gets the other party in power.
At least Joe Exotic (Tiger King) can’t run for any office again. But other states have had some real nuts slip through the system.
In OK, Inhofe (age 80+) was reelected for another 6 years – thank goodness he has stated that it is his last election. But, they need to figure out who can replace him in case he gets ill. At least Sen. Coburn resigned as of a date, so that the replacement could be voted on during a normal voting cycle – no special elections for his replacement. But, he disliked waste of tax dollars.
We want them as mean as junk yard dogs. No more pansy reach across the aisle soi bois.
The R’s really don’t see the absolute hatred the dems have for them. If they got all three branches I could see the re education camps becoming popular among them.
I quit social media years ago and don’t know what I ever thought I got out of it.
Ditto. When I couldn’t get Gab to work I then wondered why I tried in the first place.
I meant Parler.
What works for me is there are 3 or 4 blocks to choose from. No more, no less. If there is a minimum “object” in a square, and it looks like a trick, ignore it. Don’t overthink it. Never clich 5 or greater. Discus ain’t that smart.
I enjoy your perspectives as a follow seasoned citizen. Slide over to Parler! See you there. I have a different screen name there.
@Staffordpat
This is actually rather sad. Many on the right are already stuck in an increasingly cloistered echo chamber, and simply withdrawing into a digital “safe space” will just increase the disconnect between the hardcore Trump/MAGA fans and the majority of the country.
In the past five year, so many once veritable blogging and right-leaning news sites have gone from being insightful and informative to turning into pure spin machines that can’t be trusted to tell things to you straight but sure are good as selling emotional snake oil.
I hope Legal Insurrection does not become another example of this.
Anyone who has been in politics longer than five years is familiar with the term “margin of fraud” and how one has to not only win but beat that margin. Yes, fraud happens and only a fool would say there was no fraud in this election. But there have been so many demonstrable lies and assorted verifiable piles of horse pucky peddled and forwarded about Stonecutter level conspiracies to steal the vote based on nothing more than some gut feel that of course Trump won in a landslide and that it’s unpossible for a majority of voters to honestly vote against him.
Credible people have called the election for Biden because that is what the results are showing. If there is enough demonstrable fraud to overturn tens of thousands of votes across multiple states, then put it into lawsuits that have the legal standing and merit to succeed. So far, those lawsuits have been lacking.
If you want to make a real difference, put your time, energy, and money into winning the Georgia run-offs. With those seats, Cocaine Mitch can stop the Democrats legislative agenda dead.
And when The Guardian gaslights the American public less than mainstream news it is past time to give up and begin your own collection of reliable sources in the global news space and ignore mainstream media.
Might I offer a non-political comment from someone who’s been drinking good coffee for >40 years? Roast your own. Find sweetmarias.com and order a Fresh Roast machine, and three 5 lb. sacks of unroasted green beans.
One from Guatemala. Roast it light, i.e. about 4 minutes.
One from Colombia or Brazil, roasted medium, i.e. 7-1/2 minutes.
One from Sumatra, roasted dark, i.e. 10 minutes (actually 9.9 minutes in a Fresh Roast machine.)
Equal portions. Mix together. Use a French press to brew it. You will not be disappointed, to put it mildly, and Black Rifle Coffee Co. will survive. Just today, I ran into a guy who’d worked on our house. First words out of his mouth were about my coffee, and it’s been a couple years. I kid you not.
Replied to the wrong comment. Oops. Kill me now. LOL
I don’t think it’s sad at all. The abused should walk away from the abuser. Jack is asshole.
“Credible people have called the election for Biden because that is what the results are showing.”
Hmmm. Are these the same credible people who saw Russians lurking under every bed for four years? The same credible people who gleefully told us that the GOP would lose15 or more seats in the House? The same credible people who launched a FBI investigation based upon a so-called “pee tape” that no one has ever seen? The same credible people who assure us that burning, looting, raping and murdering is “mostly peaceful protests”? The same credible people who ominously tell us that singing in church is tantamount to genocide, yet ignore nuts-to-butts rioting for weeks on end? The same credible people who evicted witnesses from polling places and vote counting location in a manner reminiscent of Southern segregationists? The same credible people who opposed a temporary ban on travel from China at the beginning of the pandemic? The same credible people NOW they are miraculously credible?
Incidentally, you have the question of voting fraud totally backwards. When the law is not followed (as happened in Philadelphia, Atlanta, and other deep blue hellholes) then we have no civic obligation to accept the results. If the authorities in these places wanted the opposition to accept the results they should have obeyed the law. Instead, they ignored the law, bringing us to where we are now.
I don’t get the point of watching news or reading blogs that flat out lie to me or insult me.
Riots are called mostly peaceful protests when large areas of cities are looted and burned and business owners/police/bystanders are beaten or killed.
President Trump is accused of being a Russian stooge based on no evidence and people in his orbit are prosecuted for nothing more than supporting him or opposing his opponents/predecessor’s policies.
No matter how many times it is proven untrue these pundits accuse Trump and therefore any who support him to be racist.
This is not politics as usual this is an attempt to fundamentally change America from a Democratic Republic into something far different. I am not sure what the Democrat establishment wants for the end game but clearly they want to abolish free elections, assume vastly more control over options for citizens in choice of education, speech and participation in politics at the very least.
I will make a prediction that if Biden is inaugurated Israel will be facing a renewed terrorist war within the year, and even more seriously, they will be forced to strike Iran’s nuclear sites quickly. If they delay Biden’s government will surely prevent them from harming Iran’s nuclear sites guaranteeing the mullahs a nuclear weapon in a few years and very likely the first regional nuclear war within a decade.
I don’t like “mostly peaceful”. I prefer the term “somewhat violent”.
“‘Credible people have called the election for Biden because that is what the results are showing.’
“Hmmm. Are these the same credible people who saw Russians lurking under every bed for four years?”
The same credible people who called the 2016 election for Trump.
Nope, not the same people at all. The people you’re railing at are largely talking heads in the mainstream media and Democratic elected officials. You’ll get no argument from me regarding them; they’re full of crap.
The credible people that called the election for Biden did so because that’s what the numbers showed. Now it may be that the underlying numbers are off because of election fraud but that’s for Trump and the courts to go hash out.
But blaming the Foxnews election team for ridiculous bias because of the numbers is myopic to say the least. Their analysis has held more than a week after the election based on the numbers they received.
There’s an awful lot of people that simply didn’t like the results and blamed Foxnews for it which is juvenile.
None of that is true.
Particularly as regards the “echo-chamber” – that’s a problem the other side has.
For anyone on the Right, we are intimately familiar with the Left’s news narratives because they are ubiquitous. They have near-complete control of all the major outlets. And, we are arguing against their false narratives on a daily basis.
There’s never a day that goes by that anyone on the Right is not fully aware of all the narratives being pushed that day by the Left’s outlets.
On the other side, for most of the D’s supporters, they can go through life blissfully unaware of reality. They simply block out any news coming from the few remaining Conservative media outlets, refusing to believe anything whatsoever based solely on the source.
As regards giving up on the rigged election – with “friends” like you, who needs enemies? If we listened to people like you, we’d have had eight years of President Gore.
Too early to tell what the odds of winning this are, but there’s absolutely no doubt about the massive levels of fraud. If you aren’t willing to fight, just die already. Who needs you?
“As regards giving up on the rigged election – with ‘friends’ like you, who needs enemies? If we listened to people like you, we’d have had eight years of President Gore.”
Bush won that, in large part because his team had Baker to lead a solid legal front that was on the side of the law.
“Too early to tell what the odds of winning this are, but there’s absolutely no doubt about the massive levels of fraud. If you aren’t willing to fight, just die already. Who needs you?”
There is a difference between fighting, which I’m more than willing to support, and flailing about screaming impotently into the night—and who needs people like that?
Sorry but there is absolutely an echo-chamber on the right as well even if it’s not as well developed as the one on the leftt. I can start to see the beginning of it here too which is really depressing because LI has a lot of really fantastic call-it-as-it-is content with insightful analysis that is lacking elsewhere.
LI also has some really fantastic people leaving comments, particularly the attorneys on legal issues.
What a shame.
“If there is enough demonstrable fraud to overturn tens of thousands of votes across multiple states, then put it into lawsuits that have the legal standing and merit to succeed. ”
Agreed. And that is exactly what is happening. Some amazing work has been done to detect fraud in the vote count. Stick around.
You received a lot of undeserved down votes.
One of the dangers you mentioned was getting information from echo chambers – this is true for both sides of the political spectrum.
I have several clients that are on the left, and it is obviously that most of their commentary is from an echo chamber. A common example is that the Covid surge that started in June was caused by the July 4th parties. Same with the covid surge that started in late sept and early Oct was caused by the Halloween & Thanksgiving gatherings.
We conservatives need to hear and comprehend both sides. Echo chambers dont help
Credible people have called the election for Biden
Ha!
Another words, I have to stay with my abuser to earn your respect?
I am going take a hard pass on that.
There isn’t one independent conservative on this site who doesn’t get an eye-full of the rot the elite media passes off as news daily. There isn’t one author at Legal Insurrection who fails to take the extra time and effort from their very busy lives to comb through the dross and get facts, data and views the mainstream media ignores, hides or minimizes.
“Credible Sources”…clearly the term does not mean what you think it means.
You just don’t get it my friend. In 1960, it’s beyond dispute that the Unions in perennially Illinois stole the election from Nixon. Nixon the statesman that he was, refused to put the country in the king of turmoil that today’s Democrat Perry would GAS about statesmanship. (See Ted Stevens, Kavanaugh, Bush v Gore; Al Franklin, et al. )
I’d rather go down fighting based on the platform of the Democrat Party and their greenie Commie bastards. You can give up because you dont like conflict. Fine. Did you catch how they tried to destroy Brett Kavanaugh with his wife and children in the room?
You do you.
Exactly. The echo chamber is growing and I’m even seeing some of it here now. It’s very depressing.
Seems to me you are actually mourning harassing others and slinging hate. I am seeing that to FB now. Mine is still up for family only. Folks mourning it is too quiet and there is no one to troll.
I refuse to go back to MSN or CNN. Their continuous lies and rewriting of history drive my blood pressure up. I talk to the tv and rant. All bad in my book. The left has their own echo chamber. I happen to think ours is a bit more balanced, and frankly none of the anchors on either CNN or MSN deserve a fraction of a second of respect from me, and if I do not respect them I do not listen to them. If they ever gave respect to the other side I might, but they abandoned that long ago.
Any of those places compiling these facts?

The Gateway Pundit?
You are proving my point.
I’m headed in the same direction, little by little.
I watch Newsmax now, as does my sister and her family.
Just started buying coffee from Black Rifle Coffee Company online. They are owned and run by vets and support the 2nd Amendment and other conservative causes.
I’d never heard of MeWe before and a couple other sites you recommended. Thanks!
Scroll up and see my non-political post about roasting your own coffee. It is the voice of experience talking.
Fox’s actions genuinely puzzle me. Forget about any principles for a second and look at the money. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the strategy sessions where they discuss the ramifications of becoming CNN.
What’s the mystery? Rupert Murdoch’s cretin son is running it. And the board of directors has rino rat Paul Ryan on it.
They know best. May they drown in the red ink they’re creating.
This is a time for war. The Conservatives are the target for the Communists. Get out of the Liberal States before you are a target for the Antifa/BLM Brownshirt Thugs. If you are Jewish move to Israel, if not prepare for a Civil War. Remember that President-Elect Harris (Biden will be out before Easter) wants you dead or in a Gulag. Remember History, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and all the millions of dead. Trump will try to go through the Courts but he is fighting the Communist Deep State bureaucrats that we were warned against 70 years ago.
What makes you think you’re safer in Israel? Leftist control is stronger there, the deep state doesn’t even bother hiding, the judiciary is part of it, and there’s no bill of rights.
I just read yesterday that Mandelblit filed a brief with the High Court telling it that his “advice” is binding on the government. In other words he is a dictator, and the elected government has to obey his every whim.
I’m embarrassed that Mandelblit wears a black velvet yarmulke and a beard.
Fox went full into trying to sabotage Trump and the left wing CEO Murdoch hired is determined to destroy the network so that there is no conservative news. Cwissy Wallace, Brett etc. are all on board.
They know they will be rewarded for the kill.
Thanks Leslie. I too cancelled Facebook and Twitter earlier this year.
The FoxNews app is in the trash and NewsMax is on my streaming service as Fox has joined CNN, BSNBC, and the NBA in my ignore category.
Anyone know about the site that I just discovered? I know that they were also carrying articles by Prager.
Unreported:
1,500 pedophile arrests made nationally since Trump took office
https://www.worldtribune.com/unreported-1500-pedophile-arrests-have-been-made-nationally-since-trump-took-office/
Likewise with this site.
http://stateofthenation.co/
What would Barr be doing if Trump wasn’t hounding him to do anything?
I’ve been trashing Barr for quite a while, and he’s lived down to my low expectations.
Either Barr is a moron, or he is part of coup. Despite his acting like one, I think he’s on a malignant mission.
If you check you will see that Federal Marshalls made the arrests NOT fbi. What does this say about the fbi?
I am following Legal Insurrection on Parler. If any of you writers have individual accounts, we will love to follow you.
I have never had a Facebook account or a Twitter account. There are 4 twitter feeds that I read, mainly as entertainment. There have been many occasions that I’ve thought it would be nice to be able to add a reply, but then I remember that Jack Dorsey is a totalitarian douche and I don’t want to enrich him any further, just in time to resist the urge. I can’t see why anyone would stay on Twitter the way they treat their “products”, although I realize there are many with longstanding accounts with a certain inertia that is hard to arrest. They stay despite it being an absolute garbage service, one that has declared itself Universal Arbiter of Truth and Editor of All Information. I hope alternative services that adhere to the principals of a true forum flourish. Twitter, Facebook & Google can stomp their heavy feet on the free flow of ideas but they can’t strangle it completely. Blogs like this are part of the reason.
Parler requires access to your contact list and a legal indemnity. No thanks.
I believe Parler also requires your phone number and Gab.com does not.
It doesn’t require access to your contacts (you can opt not to share them), but it isn’t much different than Twitter in its arbitrariness and fuckyouness:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/parler-is-not-the-free-speech-utopia-that-trump-allies-hope-for
You are committing career suicide.
Any career that requires slavish devotion to the Left is no career.
OAN sucks
Newsmax sucks
Parler is useless
Parler’s interface is kinda weird – it gets you nowhere fast.
OAN is doing the best it can. Newsmax, too.
NewsMax is talking head talking to another talking head. If that floats your advocacy boat, fine. But it’s not good, conservative journalism.
I intend to watch Tucker and Lou Dobbs but no other Fox programming. Watters, Pirro and Gutfield are good folks but I think their time on Fox is running out.
Also of note – I have removed all links to Hotair.com. Like FoxNews, Hotair has become a platform for Allahpundit and their H8-Trump. So, they are dumped.
Your detailed and highly factual argument has been noted and will receive all the attention it deserves.
<flush>
I forgot to post this!
Steve Bannon/Brian Kolfage have a new site:
http://www.PopulistPress.com
I think they carry Steve Bannon’s War Room broadcasts.
Thanks, I agree and will do the same.
Epoch Times refuses to call or award EVs to any candidate for states where recounts have been ordered or lawsuits have been filed to resolve issues.
Their electoral map shows Trump 232, Biden 227.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/election-2020
Their main page is tracking developments by disputed state.
With all the focus on the presidential race, I hope they’re auditing and recounting the GA and MI senate races, and all the house races.
Same. On MeWe now, also made an account on Gab. Parler also.
Been checking out Newsmax and OANN.
Drudge I haven’t looked at in over a year. Have used BonginoReport and Protrumpnews as replacements.
Can’t fully get off facebook because so many of the musical groups I perform with are organized on FB pages, so I have to check in daily – can’t see myself posting much there anymore.
Literally EVERY post I’ve seen that had anything to do with the election, Facebook has either censored, attached a bogus “fact check” to, or attached their propaganda “election information” garbage on. This includes posts with no attachments or links to news articles or anything from other sites. They’re doing it on original, text only, posts from myself and friends – based, apparently, on keywords.
Sorry to see you go, Leslie. Truly. One thing that escapes me is how the Boards at Comcast, AT&T, Disney, Viacom-CBS, now News Corp, WaPo, the NYT, and others manage to escape scrutiny and stay out of the headlines. These names of these shadowy folks are very public but somehow they manage to remain out of the public eye and virtually unknown. They are the puppet masters, the enablers of the Stelters, Cuomos, Morning Joes, Stephanopolouses, Tappers, Sharptons (ugh, he should have been jailed years ago-but I digress), Reid’s, and so many, many more. Their names are listed and easily accessible in corporate filings, on their corporate web sites, and on government web sites (the SEC), yet they remain above the fray, seemingly immune from criticism and notoriety, and escape the turmoil they bring to the country – and world. I have posted their names and links here and on Instapundit on occasion, but it passes virtually unnoticed. This needs to change; perhaps you can manage this at your new this digs. More than a few will follow you to your new hosts, who would be fools not to welcome you with open arms. We’ll be watching. All the best.
Wait, you’re actually asking how the heads of the media giants stay out of the headlines … published by said media giants?
Are you feeling alright? Are you adequately hydrated? Had enough sugar? Not feverish?
I’ve heard that Parler, MeWe, OAN, and Newsmax is a good firm. I hope that you make partner there quickly.
Good plan, Leslie, thank you. Some caveats:
I just cannot get used to Parler’s interface. It affords no control over content flow. Its terms of usage are very suspect as well; Washington Examiner has done a piece on that. It’s a shame so many conservatives have flocked there. I find Gab, with its user Groups, much more usable.
Rumble, a youtube replacement, requires your mobile phone # before you can comment on videos. No thanks. With Parler, it’s another Bongino investment. Bitchute or Brighteon might be better.
I would be careful of Newsmax. Chris Ruddy was the most ardent Bill Clinton opponent, then radically flipped and now is personal friends with him and says he was a “great president”. I can’t trust him.
If Trump does not prevail in this election, we are going to be forced into guerrilla tactics like never before. We will have to get very shrewd about things. But I still believe Trump will prevail.
PRAY!
More than PRAY, Paul. DECLARE.
For some time now, I’ve been pondering Genesis. “In the beginning, God made heaven and earth.” Period. That’s the story of the original creation. “Now the earth was without form and void” – in other words, his original creation in verse 1 was destroyed and it was a mess in verse 2. Dark. Lifeless. Mixed up. Earth was without shape – potentially a mixed up mass of solids, water and inbetween.
God’s first order of business? A DECLARATION. “LET THERE BE LIGHT”.
And once LIGHTED, He began sorting it all out – restoring His order.
So, since everything is so mixed up and the enemy is trying so hard to smother the light and subject us to darkness, my prayerful daily declaration is “LET THERE BE LIGHT”. (Hint: I don’t whisper it, I DECLARE it.) 😉
To be sure, I pray. But I also call it like I believe God intends things to be here. A place where the light of truth prevails, and God’s people live in freedom.
I take “do not be entangled again” to be fighting orders from on high.
I would say stick with Parler, for a little bit. The more funding, the better it will be. But funding requires audience.
Twitter only got better because its audience grew. We are building these new platforms to suit us…they are bound to get better.
What is your name on Parler?
Sent an invite on MeWe.
Look for @Lpeastman.
Fox is one of our last iconic institutions to be compromised but their defection is perhaps the most critical due timing. There are legions of conservatives looking for other places to land. Hope we can give each other a helping hand as Leslie has done. At some point there might be a Trump/Carlson network option.
“I can chart the path forward for no other man, but I will contest to their last breaths the desires of petty tyrants and their co-conspirators if they cross this red line that determines that the soap box, ballot box, and jury box have failed, and that the cartridge box is our last resort.
I will go to my death if this time comes to pass, orphaning and widowing those I hold most dear. For that I am truly regretful, just as I regret the lives I must attempt to cut short so that my children will breathe free. I know that in my sights will be another mother’s son or daughter, likely with children of their own. But they will have made their choice of whom to serve, and I have made mine.
There is no desire for bloodshed in my heart, but if they want a war, let it begin here”

Leaving Twitter in two days. Use facebook for family/old friends
Parler works for me. They’ve had massive growth, sometimes over 4 mil per day. With their badge system, it minimizes nonsense posts and bots. I have a gab account, seemed too many know it alls and more drama. Use rumble instead of youtube, growing their conserv content creators. Otherwise, visit independent sites like this and aggregate my own news interests.
Thks Leslie, will find you on Parler
