I can tell you I miss my fellow patriots on Parler so much! Communicating with them daily was the same as being with family. I am crushed at what’s going on in this country. Feels like the CCP is here to silence us conservatives. Discrimination, disenfranchisement at many turns. I’m in my 60’s and I never thought I’d see an election stolen and Congress is ok with it?! Nor the huge effort to take away our free speech. The so called excuse of the “riot”, which they knew in advance, being used is abhorrent. Afraid this is only the beginning...demonrats killing our country

Thanks for the update. Please consider posting videos to Rumble or Bitchute. Many of us are trying to avoid YouTube. 🙂

At the risk of repeating what others have said here, Mitch McConnell is furious at Present Trump and wants him out of the Republican Party. We need to vote these Rhinos out! Either that or start a new party. I’m so sick of these idiots in DC. If these fools vote to Impeach I’m done. Also, I’m having withdrawals from Parler!

So grateful to have you to connect all of us who were silenced after the unjust silencing of Parler. I had already deleted Facebook and Twitter and am now in the process of getting Google out of my life (it takes time, but is worth the effort). My next step will be ridding myself if Amazon. I know these companies seem to make our lives easier, but with that, comes great loss. We have given them too much power and the conservatives of this country should take the time to cut them out of our lives and support smaller companies who value our constitutional rights. Our support can help grow conservative companies just as it did with the current tech giants. Let's keep the faith, hold the line and refuse to be silenced.

Thank you for a voice of calm in a hysterical world. Have you thought about a Gab.com account?

Please more updates. Help us stay connected and up to date. Gab is promising but so slow right now because so many are flocking there. I hope your sources are correct and Parler makes a comeback. Thank you Ben for all you do!

Maybe it’s good we all get to take a break from going on apps. I don’t go to any social media app now. I would rather read your emails and The Epoch times. I realized today that the stress I am feeling now is similar to the stress of 9/11. I was activated and sent to Japan. The uncertainty, for me, 20 years ago is some what the same. I found myself, today, enrolling in on line classes to keep my sanity. I did the same during 9/11. I’m tired and beat. I don’t watch the news. I listen to talk radio and I will finish my degree. I am greatly concerned for America. Time for me to get back to the simple things in life. Right now my stress and sanity need taken care of. I still need to know what happens in our country and I will look to you and my e-mails.

I've never left a comment before, though I've loved your writing (and other content) for years. So here goes:

Thank you so much for going to this newsletter format. It's almost funny--or would be, under different circumstances--how easy it has been for me to drop social media and shift back to how things were in the earlier days of the internet. I won't be sad if newsletters and email groups make a comeback!

The way social media never shut off, always refreshing, always updating-- it is at times too "loud." In the same way that constant artificial light dims the stars, so does a constant stream of media dim our minds.

So thank you again. Thank you for the lovely, thoughtful--and thought-provoking--content you continue to create and share.

Back in 2009, I started sharing your insights on the market crash with my clients. Your comments were the most sane and comforting comments that I could find and I thank you for that. It helped my business and my clients. Now here you are again, comforting citizens in an awfully scary time. And again, I thank you for your time, patriotism, sanity and ability to cut through it all.
