The Left has harnessed the media and pop culture to promote their agenda and impose a victim mentality on minority groups through identity politics. Brandon Straka once belonged to the group sucked in by the Left’s agenda. In 2018, however, he arrived at the truth and walked away from the Left’s identity politics.
Straka then founded the #WalkAway movement to encourage others to also walk away.
The movement took off and went viral on social media with growing numbers of individuals sharing their walk away stories. Straka soon learned, however, what happens when you leave the Left, and the mainstream media attacked his #WalkAway movement, accusing him and his team of collusion with Russian bots. At gatherings, his team was barraged by Antifa rioters, and ultimately, he was arrested under false accusations of instigating violence on January 6, 2021.
“I never entered the capitol on January 6. I never engaged in any violence, vandalism, theft, or destruction nor did I witness any. In fact, nothing i witnessed could be described as a riot by any honest person, and I certainly did not engage in any rioting. But two and a half weeks later, a team of FBI agents in tactical gear stormed by apartment at dawn and got me out of bed, put me in handcuffs, and took me to jail,” explained Straka. “The government charged me with multiple felonies, and I was threatened with the now infamous 1512 obstruction of an official proceeding felony, the unconstitutional and unethical twenty-year felony charge being used to torment J-6ers into taking plea deals and put them in prison for years.”
The criminal charging of Straka still wasn’t enough for the Left. From widespread censorship to being placed on the terror watch list, the Left has employed every means at their disposal to make his life difficult and steal his freedom.

Americans from other parts of the country are flooding into North Carolina to take advantage of the state’s business-friendly laws and taxes and to flee the instability, bankruptcy, and high costs of their home states. North Carolina Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson weighed in on this pattern in his remarks at CPAC in DC 2024.
States like New York and California are bankrupt, unsafe, and crumbling. In contrast, North Carolina has a $5 million surplus and has been named a top business location in the country by leading publications.
Robinson explains what’s behind the difference, “It’s because conservatives do this little pesky thing that Leftists don’t like. We put principles inside of our policies, and they yield a desired result, and it shows in how our states operate. Yet, still, the news media, they never want to talk about that.”
Indeed, the mainstream media, such as, ABC News, would rather credit the warmer climate than the conservative policies that have created safe, beautiful, and affordable states for the economic uptick and migration of Americans to red states in the South. At the same time, they ignore the Leftist policies and legacy Democrat leaders that have created the disasters in New York, California, and Illinois.
“They don’t want to talk the fact California is falling apart and Florida is flourishing. They don’t want to talk about the fact that New York is in shambles and North Carolina’s on firm financial footing,” commented Robinson.
He set the record straight for the mainstream media in his speech. Watch his full remarks on Rumble @CPAC.

As we all enjoy Fourth of July celebrations, BBQs, and fireworks, we must remember the significance of today.
248 years ago, our Founding Fathers fought for our rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Today, America is in perilous times, and at @CPAC, we are fighting every day to defend those rights.
From all of us to all of you, Happy Independence Day!🇺🇸 
"We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again,” George Washington encouraged General Phillip Schuyler and his troops in the midst of the War for Independence in 1777. "If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth New Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times."
Washington’s encouragement rings true today. The safeguarding of our God-given, unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness forms the basis of the Constitution, which desperately needs our protection today. Our founders expertly and meticulously crafted our Constitution to enshrine our freedoms and promote justice for all. As new threats to our freedoms arise, we respond with increased vigor in defense of our exceptional founding.
CPAC is committed to protecting our cherished freedoms and ensuring that the next generation can live and prosper in a free America.
Happy Fourth of July from the CPAC family! https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1808894081465999360/pu/vid/avc1/720x1280/gNIFgD8fLdj8UGil.mp4?tag=12
Presidential historian and author of Revolutionary Readers Jane Cook talks her patriotic children’s book series with Mercedes Schlapp.
Literacy rates are on the decline across the country and history has been deprioritized in public school systems. Cook is on a mission to change that. Her book series, Revolutionary Readers, aims to teach both history and reading to children of all ages. The books cover a broad spectrum of reading levels to teach reading and history at every age.
The books also fill a hole in the market for American history books that teach reading.
“I just felt like there was a huge need. Even though that statistic is terrible, I think there’s a hunger to want to learn about America. So, I developed this series,” explained Cook.
Each book teaches a different patriotic topic such as, the history and meaning of the flag, the pledge of allegiance, and the song America the Beautiful.
Cook is finding success with her books resonating with parents and children especially in the homeschool community and is now taking them to public school systems, showing how they fit with social studies curricula.
Cook went on in the episode to weigh in on the 2024 presidential election as a presidential historian with advice to President Trump:
“I really think that President Trump is well positioned that he can really champion America’s 250th and make that part of his presidency, to gin up excitement about celebrating America’s 250th birthday in 2026.”
