… these ‘men’ claim to be ‘Christians.’ That they’re passing along unadulterated bullshit apparently doesn’t matter to either. In fact, it’s quite possible that they think they’re doing righteous work by twisting the historical reality into a useful narrative. Whatever it takes to help Jesus right?

… along effectively that old Rush Limbaugh slop of how the Thanksgiving story shows socialism sucks. Since Metaxas is a ‘historian’ in the same sense as is David Barton, it’s possible that he’s just dumb. My guess, however, is that he doesn’t care one way or the other. Please note that both of …

Got to thinking about how before 1819 ‘News’ invited Tucker Carlson in as their 2nd Annual Patterson Dinner speaker, their first was none other than Eric Metaxas. He’s well worth Googling if you’re unfamiliar. My guess is more grifter than true believer. How he’s 👍🏼 on Sidney Powell as AG is 😫😵💫🤢.

AMF now writing for the 1819ers with ‘our schools teach stuff we don’t like’ among her main taskings is a provocation professional. From what I can see, there’s not one damn thing wrong with this class. However, the close in this article is quite notable. It’s a main reason 1819 ‘News’ exists.

… Marx. I’d suggest few, if any, substantive theorists in or adjacent to Marxism have ever done such. And it’s not happening now. This fellow is basically a bullshit purveyor. There’s no wonder he’s becoming a regular contributor for the 1819ers. Especially pitiful considering credentials.

Trust Rep. Felix Barry Moore will be consistent in ‘denouncing socialism in all its forms, and opposing the implementation of socialist policies in the US’ as he campaigns for US Senator across Alabama. Thus, he’ll be cussing TVA and other publicly-owned utilities, libraries, farmer co-ops, etc.

was doing it for Dubyah Bush early in his career and he’s happy to do it now. An absolutely pathetic excuse for a human. Plenty of pathetic excuses in this mix.

… pocketed a nice cut off the top. Alas, I might as well have been talking to a tree stump. Those few on the education beat here were seemingly friendly with the usual suspects representing various ‘reform’ approaches. This piece here actually mentions Orlando Sentinel’s work I pushed as model. 🤬

😳 Alabama’s possible next US Senator, replacing our current US Senator who is probably our next Guvnah, going up on Matt Gaetz’s show just after last week’s reporting in the Gray Lady on Gaetz supposedly paying a vulnerable 17-year-old for sex is a choice. 😳 1819news.com/news/item/ba...

… 1819 cares. And because one of KCarl’s main grifts is presenting himself as an authority on Frederick Douglass, which he definitely isn’t, there’s an obligatory reference to his latest bullshit book. Douglass and Marx had WAY more in common than where they disagreed. Different lenses, approaches.

While the 1819ers have many pitiful people producing content for their pages, KCarl ranks high among their more ridiculous. He’s clearly never read nor attempted to understand Marxist theory with this part about how the state becomes so powerful. Then again, it’s not … 1819news.com/news/item/kc...

Morton Blackwell coming down against Tucker Carlson seems notable. That blustering ‘Moms for Liberty’ lady up in north Alabama better behave herself given LI’s investment in that front group. And I trust Riley Gaines knows how her 🍞 stays, or at least once was, buttered. thehill.com/newsletters/...

I suppose Tucker Carlson can also entertain his 1819er audience tonight here in Alabama by discussing chemtrail conspiracies. 😵💫😫☠️

This dearth of coverage is presumably why 1819 ‘News’ here in Alabama need not worry much, if at all, about Carlson keynoting a big fundraiser a week from today. Many in their audience are likely unaware of what happened.

That a deputy from north Alabama was among those up in Adamsville, Tennessee speaking against Pusser’s alleged crime, how he’d been made into a folk hero … is 🤕.

And FWIW, regarding that 🤢😫😵💫 TPUSA event at Auburn U last night, it appears there was a Groyper or at least Groyper-adjacent element paying attention. And please note that juice box emoji in the first image shared. 😬

And another FWIW from that reporting since the 1819ers unsurprisingly found a place for a longtime Koch operative, accomplished provocateur, and professional ‘conservative’ mentioned. Among AMF’s tasking for the 1819ers, she’s certainly qualified to stir up their audience. Deposit checks. She’s on.

… news here a few years back when Floodlight and NPR (instead of state-level outlets) revealed how Matrix, a consulting firm closely connected to Alabama Power, had been up to no good. Paul Reynolds, although relatively affluent, once had. nonprofit called the Alabama Free Market Alliance. Yup, 💰.

Huntsville Utilities is a publicly-owned provider, etc. Arguably much of the ‘defense’ industry that’s up there is sorta kinda socialism. Tons of farm subsidies and such flow in up there. Multiple co-ops as well. It seems obvious that these ‘conservatives’ don’t want to shoot straight with citizens.

A regular 1819er and former ‘scholar’ last at the Koch & BB&T-funded ‘free enterprise’ logrolling joint in Troy, Alabama now a “Senior Advisor for the Capital Markets Initiative at the Heritage Foundation” actually managed to write a solid, supported by scholarship paragraph in some other slop. 😲

And FWIW, this is the account Dawson is QTing. Yup, 1819 ‘News’ has a guy at its helm with the apparent discernment of a 12-year-old. That he’s managed to fleece funds from various sources is possibly a testament of his capacity for ‘salesmanship.’

There’s pretty much something daily, every few hours even, from the zealot crackpot leading largely dark money-funded 1819 ‘News’ outlet here in Alabama that’s xenophobic, cheering on authoritarianism, etc. Dawson has always seemed touched, but how he’s not holding really anything back lately is 🧐.
