I have stopped at least 90% of my Amazon shopping so I for one hope that it takes off.

Can you cite that? It would be surprising if they did that instead of basically drop shipping from China like they do a lot. You’d think the margins would be incredibly low, but then again they’re still in a kind of loss leader mode.

Project Veritas released a new video today exposing CNN Director Charlie Chester, who admitted that his network engaged in propaganda to benefit Biden’s candidacy during the 2020 election to the detriment of then-President Trump.

Chester also said CNN has a pre-determined agenda when reporting on COVID-19 and climate change.

Here are some of the highlights from the video:

CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester: “Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100% going to say it, and I 100% believe that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”

Chester: “[Trump’s] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation -- that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He's unfit to -- you know, whatever. We were creating a story there that we didn't know anything about. That's what -- I think that’s propaganda.

Chester: “We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric.”

Chester: “I think there's a COVID fatigue. So, like whenever a new story comes up, they're [CNN’s] going to latch onto it. They've already announced in our office that once the public is -- will be open to it -- we're going to start focusing mainly on climate.”

Chester: “It's going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that's what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be for climate change awareness.”

Chester: “It [COVID] will taper off to a point that it's not a problem anymore. Climate change can take years, so they'll [CNN will] probably be able to milk that quite a bit…Climate change is going to be the next COVID thing for CNN…Fear sells.”

Chester said out loud what his network refuses to acknowledge publicly. CNN is a corporate entity with political interests -- the news imperative seems to be sidelined for “propaganda.”

Stay tuned…this is just the first video we are releasing of CNN’s corruption this week.

In Veritas,

James

What Hogg tried to do, as I understand it is go head to head against the pillow guy by selling the same single product line (bed wear related) where Lindell was well entrenched.

In Lindell’s case he is offering a multitude of items just as Amazon does so I can’t understand why you say his company is so certain to fail. He is not as far as I know selling his own stuff which he would need to buy and inventory but is allowing others to sell from his site for which he would receive a % of each sale.

I used to own a retail business back in the early 70’s thru mid 80’s so I understand what is needed for success. I was surrounded by huge malls (Northern NJ) and had tons of competition but did well any way.

So again, why are you so certain he will fail and what can he do to succeed. As a Trump guy do you believe he will attract buyers like myself in big numbers?

He’s going after the top dog in the world right now. He’s a mouse that roared. He’s also has a long history of grandiose ideas that might be a legacy of his crack addiction.

It’s mostly the infrastructure and marketing. Also he’s extremely polarizing from the start. It’s his release that said he’s going to rival Amazon, which is like saying you’re going to start a software company and be the next Microsoft. You might do ok. Or more likely like most businesses you’ll crash and burn. I think he should stick to what he knows.

I will spend a lot more to weaken Amazon and I will do it gladly.

Thanks, being Amazon’s gofer doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Especially what I know of how they treat stock workers. Man. Maybe for a entry level or kid as you said it’s ok. Might be better off doing uber eats or something though, but that’s saturated too now.

If he can get some volume going, FedEx and UPS will give steep pricing breaks, no actual need for your own delivery system. And, as common carriers, they are obligated to give the same discounts.

Use a site like 2ndvote.com to find conservative businesses in any category, whether you’re going out to dinner or ordering office supplies.

Along with a ban on credit card and bank debit card purchases.

That's the way they will do it - they'll put up a t-shirt critical of BLM and all of a sudden VISA and MasterCard will state that "MyStore is not consistent with our values" and cut them off.

I cancelled my Amazon Prime and will use shopping sites like this - even if they cost a little bit more money.

Maybe, maybe not.

Amazon does not treat its vendors very well.

I’m sure Mike will, if he can get it going.

I would be happy to be one of them.

I dropped Amazon at least a decade ago because they were just a pain to deal with as a small vendor.

I used to sell a couple thousand dollars worth of books a month so I was tiny by their standards. Not worth bothering with so I went independent. But there are major advantages to being on a big site.
