Real American Leaders
The past year has been the most difficult period of my life. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, I was locked down, had to wear a mask and couldn’t attend church in person. I watched President Trump get cheated out of winning the election. I watched big tech censor our President’s accounts. Then came the January 6th incident and the left’s theatrical overreaction to it. And finally, Joe Biden started tearing down America the minute he got in office. But, Michael Matt, Father Altman, Father Pavone, Scott Atlas and Alex Berenson were real American leaders during this tough time.
Michael Matt
Michael Matt is the editor of the Remnant Newspaper, which is a national Catholic newspaper. He also does video clips about the state of Catholicism, the state of the coronavirus pandemic and the state of America. He inspired me to take actions like not wearing a mask in public. And, he gave me hope after the election was stolen from President Trump.
I agree with him on every topic he brings up. And, he makes me feel like I’m not alone with my thoughts. The things he says make a lot of sense to me. When I tire of media coverage, Michael gives me the same news, but with a Catholic perspective. That’s very refreshing to me, and exactly what I needed during the past year.
Father James Altman
Father Altman bravely released a video statement before the election that one cannot be a Catholic and a Democrat. He was mostly referring to the issue of abortion. Joe Biden claims to be a devout Catholic, but he supports abortion. And, Father Altman wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is.
In an interview with LifeSite after the inauguration, He said that he has his “doubts about the validity, grave doubts about the validity” of the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, “it is what it is, and we are stuck with [it].” He also called out the Bishops for saying one thing and doing another. And, he lay the blame on them for Biden’s win because they failed to speak out. Finally, he said that giving Joe Biden Holy Communion is sacrilege and that it makes him sick
I wish there were more priests like Father Altman. He truly represents what a Catholic priest should be. It was so nice to hear a priest say what I was thinking. Just knowing he was not afraid made me not afraid.
Father Frank Pavone
Father Pavone is the National Director of Priests for Life and the President of the National Pro-life Religious Council. He was active in the re-election campaign for President Trump on the Advisory Board of Catholics for Trump, but was forced to resign by church authorities. Even after his resignation, he continued to speak out about the election. He said that the election is not about personality, but about issues. And, there has never been a more consequential election in our history.
Knowing where we are today, he was absolutely right. Although some Catholics didn’t agree with him, he still had the bravery to stand up and speak out. It is so nice when a Catholic priest tells the truth. If more had done that, maybe we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in. But, during the lead up to the election, he was a breath of fresh air. It made me feel better to know that some Catholic priests cared so much about our faith and our country.
Scott Atlas
Scott Atlas, MD, served from August through November 2020 as Special Adviser to President Trump and was a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. He resigned his post on the task force. Dr. Atlas didn’t fit the narrative about coronavirus and wasn’t a Washington bureaucrat like Dr. (Doom) Fauci and Dr. (Two-face) Birx.
Dr. Atlas wasn’t afraid to voice his opinion about coronavirus after his resignation. He called out the public health experts for continuing to invoke pandemic fear, saying this is not the bubonic plague. He called out the mainstream media for promoting nothing but doom and gloom about coronavirus. And, he called it “very frightening” how the American psyche has been damaged. Finally, he called out Dr. Birx for saying that he provided misinformation to President Trump.
Doctors like Scott Atlas get censored by the mainstream media and taken to task by bureaucrats like Dr. Fauci when they bravely speak the truth. Dr. Atlas said everything that I believe about coronavirus. Like him, I believe that the liberals want us to wear masks forever. He finally affirmed that truth for me and I am so grateful. If more doctors were like Dr. Atlas, the pandemic would have been resolved long ago.
Alex Berenson
Alex Berenson was a reporter for the New York Times. He boldly questioned the coronavirus narrative of the so-called health experts and the mainstream media by presenting solid data. It should be no surprise that he has been attacked as a conspiracy theorist. He is a self-professed “Covid Contrarian.”
But, his facts were solid and he exposed the mainstream media and health experts as frauds. I agreed with what he was saying, and it made me feel better to know he was reporting my beliefs. Alex may not be a doctor, but he is an award-winning investigative reporter. He knows how to gather data and present it in a fair and balanced manner.
In a time of strife, I needed his truth. And, he delivered.
Conclusion
These five individuals helped me through a tough time and continue to help me. When things are dismal, it’s important to find a positive outlet. I needed to hear what they said. And, I needed something to believe in. I owe a big thank you to these people. They’re brave and they’re honest. More people should turn to these individuals and get away from the mainstream media and government bureaucrat narrative that will eventually destroy your psyche and freedom.
