Considering just about everything posted on TBP would be considered mis-information by the left wing lunatics running Paypal and the rest of the Silicon Valley social media censorship police, the news about them fining Paypal users $2,500 per violation would cripple TBP within a day. I have been accepting donations through Paypal for about six years. Even though they were forced to revoke their ridiculous policy change, millions of people are canceling their Paypal accounts. Their stock is down 6%, wiping out tens of millions in market value. They deserve to pay dearly for their totalitarian actions.
I was already surprised they hadn’t pulled the plug on TBP for not following the establishment narrative. But this was the kick in the ass for me to set up an alternative payment method. I set up a Stripe account, so everyone who doesn’t want to provide Paypal with revenue can have an alternative way to support TBP.
A number of TBP supporters who were signed up for automatic monthly payments through Paypal have canceled their accounts. Stripe does allow for the same option.
Since there are still over 50 people signed up for monthly Paypal donations I am going to keep both options available until the end of the year. My goal would be to encourage people to switch over to Stripe and end their Paypal association. At that point I would end the Paypal option.
If anyone has problems with the new Stripe option just email me. I’m not great with technical issues, but TMWNN set this up for me in a few minutes. I have added these new options on the sidebar donation area and under the articles. I hope this helps as I try to adapt to changing conditions on a daily basis.

Kudos
F__k hose bastards- they keep my money for 6 months for simply asking a question about a charge-and also didn’t pay the vendor- never used them again.
PayPal is not to be trusted with anyone’s hard earned money.
Admin take a look at AlignPay.com from Dan Bongino….specifically built for freedom lovers….. https://www.alignpay.com/index.html an entire ecosystem is being built to support us! Markets work…..fuck the left and the elites!
Wow. Long time no hear, Hammer. Good to see you back.
Howdy ho!
GAB also has a payment system
Gab is also the ONLY 100% uncensored social media platform. Nothing gets censored, ever. If you don’t like someone’s views, you simply block them and you will never see them in your feed again. Nobody gets censored, everyone has a voice. Some great debates, which is how it should be.
We cancelled our account yesterday. Buh-bye paypal… Chip
Old fashion check on the way… Chip
Finally a way to donate from Europe, without the despised (by me) Paypal!
Thanks Admin and also to TMWNN
Thanks Admin. I always hated Paypal. First time contributor.
This is why they want digital currency.
I’ll set up an account once I get home from Alaska. Until then I’ll keep the Paypal account open for business…..
Here’s where being a brain-dead Boomer has paid off. I never considered for a moment opening up a PP account. It’s partly because I didn’t want some west coast commie in on my spending habits. The other is I’m too lazy to learn which buttons to push. Thanks for hanging in, Jim.
You are not alone.
Bad news for you:
Stripe Inc. is “dual-headquartered in South San Francisco, California and Dublin, Ireland.”
The Ireland office is to record all income for the lower tax rate. Stripe is all west coast techno mafia.
Good. I was wondering about that, as I just this morning closed my Paypal account and uninstalled the app.
I haven’t used it in a couple years. Last time was to buy an old violin from Deutschland, but I closed my account over this.
Me too.. I used to be an eBay powerseller. I have extensive numismatic knowledge and would buy and resell under bid coins or cheap bullion. I had over 300k in sales in 10 years as a side hobby! But eBay increasing fees and liberal policies plus the PayPal added fees (along with the skyrocketing postal costs) so I have rarely sold in the last five years.
Long story short, I officially ended all association today by cancelling my PayPal account.
Yes, but they are the only real alternative to Bezos Amazon. Maybe ETSY is setting themselves up to be a very big player. Getting going with them now. They all must act as agents for our armed IRS Gestapo with income reporting on 1099s to IRS if you have a lousy $601 or more in sales.
Zelensky has asked Pay Pal and Facebook to ban anyone using the terms “midget” and “high heeled puppet dictator”.
That miserable midget, high heeled puppet dictator, two bit dog faced pony soldier, son of bitch, asked pay pal for that?
Proof:
So if I mention midget porn, PP & FB will ban me? Good thing I don’t have accounts with either of them.
Does anyone have any credible information on the new GabPay app or method? I don’t mind sticking a knife in the neck of PP or any other predatory group but, I don’t want to signup for another beating so to speak either.
You can look into it yourself here:
https://www.gabpay.com/
This is not good if you buy something fake or not shipped:
“All transactions on the app are instant* and final, with no chargebacks!”
https://babylonbee.com/news/paypal-to-automatically-pull-2500-in-reparations-from-all-white-peoples-accounts/
Paypal has driven away, permanently, the most intelligent and well-informed amongst the populace. These tend to be pretty productive people.
I guess CNBC and the MSM will tell me how smart and savvy this move was, but how stupid are the people running Paypal? Dumber than the ones running twitter, apparently.
Goodbye, Paypal. May your company die a much-deserved death.
Have you considered https://www.alignpay.com? Dan Bongino was involved in establishing it.
Another grift by Conservatism Inc?
Kinda knee jerk don’t you think?
All due respect, about time!
Do not have an alternative other that what my bank suggests, ask your bank.
Back when paypal was looting Canadiens accounts there was another option, could not find it.
Snail mail always worked. It’s what I used the last couple years, because PayPal never worked for me on this platform anyhow.
Hat tip, ill try Stripe,cuz, well, fuck them.
OK, canceled monthly payment via PP, but when I try to set up monthly on Stripe, it is already set for $10/mo. and I cannot change it. Until I know how to do that, my monthly payment will not continue.
If you can help, please do.
If you click the link to a monthly payment it shows $10. To the left of the amount it says Qty. If you click that you can increase the $10 by multiplying it by whatever figure you choose.
That’s what I thought, but wasn’t sure. It’s counterintuitive.
Mission accomplished, monthly payment setup through Stripe. At least until they go woke too.
I guess I’ll be mailing you a money order from now on.
Admin, I can’t tell you how much TBP helped me during the worst parts of lockdown and being openly discriminated against in Canada during all the covid BS. Life was pretty awful here for someone without papers for the last two years until the Truckers stepped up February. I also took comfort from Stucky’s tale of a train when Mrs. Freud passed.
As Anonymous said a few posts back, it has been good to know I am not alone.
Checks still acceptable? I don´t trust typewriters and anything that came afterwards.
I also go the check route,a bit of a pain looking for stamps and admin. having to hit the PO box but only way I am willing to contribute,but,keeps the 3% or whatever paypal/cards hit ya’s for.
The reality of paypals latest insanity is sneaking up on them!
I still pay all of our bills by mailed check. Did I mention I don´t trust computers? And I like to make tracking me as onerous as possible, flip phone and all.
Schmart, Svarka.
Auntie does the very same: everything possible with trackable paper – cashier;s cheques, personal & business checks, money orders.
Make these companies and gubbermint do it the old-fashioned way. Fuck ’em.
have you owned those cats very long james?it is said that cats eventually begin to look like their owners,which of those looks like you?
This is me Tampa,now………,stop being a irritant!
Checks are always welcome. No fees with checks.
Nobody mentioned the verboten practice that CAF advocates on Friday. Just as well
Right side bar or whatever ya call it. To the right of the QR Code thingy, This article. Little above the moneymometer.

2 for 2
Good thing I have been procrastinating all summer. This deserves a bonus and I will stuff the envelope tonight.
Please try to find another alternative to stripe. They’ve got some skeletons in their closet concerning censorship as well.
Cool policy.
I’m starting one where anyone who comes up the driveway owes me a thousand bucks. Because it’s my policy.
From what I saw, that’s a bargain. 🙂
really.
But is it “per incident”? Otherwise you would lose a lot of potential income. Com’n man!
I applaud this move. Screw PayPal.
If any of us use these satanic venues, we have only ourselves to blame.
Don’t patronize your enemy. Ever.
To include social media.
I went to the dentist today and was subjected to 10 minutes of CNN in the waiting room. It was the worst part of the visit. I don’t see how the ‘norms’ can take it.
” subjected to 10 minutes of CNN ”
Walk over and turn it off, or change the channel. Surely, there are ‘Legitimate’ soap operas on. WHAT exactly are Victor & Nicky up to these days anyhow? 🤣
dr. filth is always entertaining. ‘Neighbors’ daughter down the holler was ACTUALLY featured! (True). MÉNAGE À TROIS with a daddy & son, And she was a Twin! Master the possibilities. She could pass for triplets though. All by herself.
Suspect Flour was involved.
Tell them that it ‘Triggers’ you, and if a ‘professional’ space is not a SAFE one, what is?
Couldn’t have been but maybe a yr. ago…Thought i heard Vic’s voice coming from the bedroom. After Dark! The Boss had recorded it.
NOT every Mountain Top…However, there will be NONE of that malarkey. When i’m home. Mostly.
I wonder how many people visited the site after seeing your sign.
admin,
do the analytics that you receive about the site such as # of daily hits monthly hits,etc. tell you any geographical info about where your readers are located?
Just by country. US accounts for about 90% of views.
You can drill down on that data by states and cities in Google analytics
So can the CIA, who happen to own Google.
My kids and some of their friends visit TBP. I told them to read the articles and to ignore the ignorant jew hate stuff that is mostly in the comments sections of every article.
But those are absolutely the best comments. Do you hate them or something?
“and to ignore the ignorant jew hate stuff…”
Revelation 2:9 & 3:9 i believe. JUST those who say they are. and ARE NOT.
Or something like that.
Shockingly! says ‘they’ are blasphemers AND Liars. Too.
There Has Been MORE THAN ENOUGH hiding of the unvarnished truth, many arenas, over time.
Those Days are FAST coming to the inevitable END. Question of timing?
Matthew 24:36
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.”
as one example.
Changed my monthly contribution to Stripe!
I’ll just do snail mail.. and yes, thank you. Fuck paypal.
Insta cancelled paypal. Companys dont get to fine users. For anything, much less an opinion. Their stock should go to zero. Plenty other options.
Super cool. I have considered flyers under windshield wipers in public parking lots. Should wear dark hoodie and face covering (because I wouldn´t want to get sick).
About how much did that cost in 2013 dollars?
Well worth tooting your own horn. What an awesome story.
good job,jimbo–
Arch,that tis epic shit!
+ 1000 Seems like yesterday… those were the best of times. We had no idea , shit-shot pimping Clown World Faggot was just over the horizon.
Great story.
I use PP only for one or 2 companies I purchase from — both overseas.
So — I just tried to sign in to PP to close my account — put in my password — and was directed to a page asking for my cell phone number.
I haven’t got one — and there’s nowhere to go from there without putting in a number …
PP must smell massive defection in progress …
just in case they are in financial trouble b/c of this or did this b/c they are already in trouble,i would spend my account down on things you may need —
I tried to log into my paypal. My password no longer worked? I needed to have a code texted, which was a problem because I no longer had the number that I used to set up the account. It had never been a problem because I have the password. I called them several times to see if they would give me the option to have the code emailed to me. Nope, says the lady. Even though having a code emailed is always given as a option. There goes 1100 bucks. My hunch is the Paypal people have been playing games with peoples money for a long time, and this change in service deal is an attempt to cya for taking peoples money all along.
How about GabPay?
Good for you Jim. As you know, a common theme in my ramblings for the last few years has been to have people do the simple things to bring down the resetters, like voting with their wallets and cutting tech as much as possible out of their lives. Even the most powerful world finanancier Fink is starting to hurt but a lot more have to bail on that totalitarian arsehole like the LA fund manager. I am beginning to see the light because people are waking up.
I think, hopefully, Stripe will gain popularity. Been using it for a couple yrs w/o any issues
Closed mine yesterday. Under reason I selected other: “Get Woke, Go Broke” I heard on the radio earlier today they lost $6B in market cap so far.
I do think it was just a test run for the coming social credit system once they finalize the digital dollar.
They’re still fining people. They simply changed the language in the user agreement. If they are allowed to get away with this real banks will be next.
From “askwonder.com/research/…”
Payment Processors that Exclude Conservative Clients …
#2: Stripe
…
Bullet #3 … However, Stripe announced in January 2021 that it would no longer provide services to conservative-leaning groups such as former President Trump’s presidential reelection campaign website, due to the fact that they “encourage violence,” as evidenced by the riot at the Capitol.
Bullet #4 … Notably, Stripe has a blanket ban on any business that is “high risk” because it “a. engages in, encourages, promotes or celebrates unlawful violence or physical harm to persons or property, or b. engages in, encourages, promotes or celebrates unlawful violence toward any group based on race, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or any other immutable characteristic.”
See what they did there? I don’t care if they don’t support Trump’s re-election website (#3) and I don’t have a problem with #4, but when you “conflate” and “characterize” so that an activity YOU don’t like meets the general description of activities of which NONE of us approve, then I have a problem.
I know this took a lot of your time, Admin. I appreciate it as much as the others have expressed here, but I’ll find another way to get my “donations” to you. ‘Looks to me like this is just another PayPal. There are a couple of non-aligned start-ups out there. I’ll try one of them.
Respects,
Sensop
🤣
Jury just awarded Sandy Hook whiners one billion. WTF? Since when do juries award such absurd amounts? and for what exactly? Because someone’s feelings got butt hurt?
Will you also consider using GabPay?
Interesting troll in our midst who apparently likes to downvote for fun. Keep em coming!
I’m looking for the 100th comment to make a donation of a hundred for 4th quarter, Admin.
It is almost first light here in the Ozarks and the deer are beginning to stir. My job is to move the herd from where they are milling about at the treeline toward where my husband is waiting in the blind.
It is a good job if you can get it.
This should be the treeline but postimage is slow today. I suspect they are looking at my 1000 images uploaded and thinking I should pay them for storage.
I zoomed in on the four does I am getting ready to ride toward to move them.
If Nick gets one you know I’ll take pictures of the removal of the offal.
ha ha ha…
This is 98… where is Mr. Thistle?
Still kickin’. Took my comment-ball and went home.
Well, then, in response to your comment-ball, I’ll drop Admin a hunnerd in your honor.
Mille Grazie!!!
And now I’ve got to find my wallet/phone, which I lose weekly.
When I do find it, I will share a little story about a 1948 Singer Sewing Machine ($25 at a church rummage sale) fitting perfectly in a 1973 Sears&Roebuck Walnut Sewing Cabinet($15 at a local consignment shop). The point of the story has something to do with planned obsolescence and 75 year old sewing machines that fit into cabinets created 25 years later perfectly and work perfectly when plugged into an outlet.
My fear is the phone is at the consignment shop, but out here in Podunk, that just means picking it up when I go to town.
Took my PayPal Offline Jim, I can’t scan so will mail you a check for the next year. When you see the address, you’ll want to visit, free of charge. We also have a great place in Beaufort, SC. out in Coosw Island.
