Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t listen to Dr. Zev Zelenko about Covid-19. Don’t be a Cuomo. Dr. Zelenko’s new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals come highly recommended by many doctors.
Mike Elliott made history by being the first Black Mayor of Brooklyn Center. His minimal fame has turned into major infamy following his handling of the situation in his streets after the killing of a Black man at the hands of a police officer.
In his efforts to calm the situation, the Mayor went to the streets to talk to some of the protesters. Granted, many of them at the time were busy looting and setting buildings on fire, but he was able to find those who could fit the bill of “peaceful” for his photo op. He posted two pictures on social media to commemorate the occasion, but he forgot one minor detail.
“Earlier this evening I had the opportunity to go talk to these peaceful protesters. I assured them we are working collaboratively with all involved agencies & will get to the bottom of this. Our city is calm now, thank you all who came out to peacefully protest then went home,” he Tweeted.
Unfortunately for the Mayor, all Twitter saw was the helmet. Podcaster Tim Pool said, “He’s wearing a ballistic helmet to talk to peaceful protesters.”

“Battle Beagle” said. “Dudes got a kevlar helmet like he’s ready to push into Fallujah.”

Always remember the basics when engaging with peaceful protestors
1) Pen and Paper (Always important to get good action items!)
2) Megaphone (People need to be heard!)
3) Bulletproof helmet (In case the peaceful protestors start shooting at you or throwing bricks) https://t.co/9FEXJvCUAO— AntifaWatch (@AntifaWatch2) April 13, 2021
I’ve never talked to anyone I would consider peaceful while wearing a ballistics helmet.
But yeah sure stick to the narrative https://t.co/hlAqkqwEwL

Replies to his post weren’t much better.
To be fair, the Liberian-born Mayor has never had to deal with this sort of situation before. With all of the rioting taking place in his city, one wouldn’t expect him to go in public without taking proper precautions. But the helmet doesn’t match his rhetoric which has been very accommodating to the Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters who are trashing his town.
Don’t wait until food shortages get REALLY bad before stocking up. Get a three-month’s supply now while it’s still available.
The City Council immediately granted the Mayor new authorities. According to MSN:
Brooklyn Center, Minn., which erupted in protest Sunday as word of 20-year-old Daunte Wright’s death spread, now has a new city manager and — at least temporarily — a new de facto leader of the police department after a city council vote that granted the mayor “command authority” over the agency.
The overhaul is likely to give Mayor Mike Elliott the power to fire the police chief and police officers, one legal expert told The Washington Post.
“At such a tough time, this will streamline things and establish a chain of command and leadership,” Elliott wrote after the motion passed by a 3-to-2 vote. Elliott, who by law serves on the council, and two other members voted in the affirmative.
An hour later, Elliott announced that Brooklyn Center had fired its city manager, Curt Boganey, and replaced him with the city’s deputy manager, Reggie Edwards.
The helmet he’s wearing in the picture appears to be a Legacy PASGT Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet. They retail for around $240. Is this Elliott’s “Michael Dukakis Moment“?
Nothing says “peaceful” like wearing a military grade, level IIIA ballistic helmet to engage with all of those peace-loving activists. At least it’s probably more effective at keeping him safe than a face mask.
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 just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also 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!
