As you can see below, TBP views hit a multi-year low of 627,000 in June. This is down from the all-time high of 1.4 million in November of 2021.
To try and regain some of those visitors, I deleted two more of the pop-up ad companies, which should improve the user experience for those without ad-blockers, while further reducing TBP ad revenue. By getting rid of these ads, Steve Quayle is again going to post links to TBP articles. In addition, I renewed my relationship with Whatfinger by placing their ads/videos on the sidebar. They will also begin to link to TBP articles.
Yesterday was the first full day with these partners back in place and our visitor count went up 45% versus our June average. With far less pop-up ads, hopefully we will get more permanent visitors and commenters.
With only three remaining ad companies, TBP will become more reliant on donations and Amazon commissions. Amazon is running a promotion for the next two weeks, leading up to their Prime Days, where affiliates receive double the normal commission on purchases. For those who still use Amazon, consider making all your purchases through the TBP link.
I expect June to be the low-point in visitors for TBP and we will soar to new heights, right up until the nuclear missiles rain down upon our degenerate controlled nation. And don’t forget to get our new shirt, honoring our beloved leader at the TBP merchandise store.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

I think Amazon may be selling mustard gas masks 2 for 1. Amazon what it is , my only means of dropping a bone to the site.
I’d rather donate directly to TBP. I hope the arrangement isn’t conditional upon sales numbers. I never did Amazon and don’t plan to start now.
Only works for me because gasoline is so high. A round trip to town to purchase anything adds up to about 6 bucks + in the old PU. When I was working part time at a hardware store I purchased the same stuff I do from Amazon for around 5% over cost which is a “good deal” but with no kickback to the site.
Tex,will keep that in mind in case I decide to enter trench warfare WW1 style.
Never know what they may unload on peeps. Mustard gas is about as old as 1822. The thing is it is absorbed through the skin so one will need a mustard suit. Never know some balloons from parts of the world no one will confess may release the stuff.
I don’t know much about any of the canisters, but we have a few of each. I bought a lot of my stuff from Mira, but have bought a couple off Amazon The masks are definitely Mira. I can’t recall where the ones for the nuke fallout came from. I noticed last week, I think it was, that we have some Jobama visitors in this tiny hamlet. Of course, this being the Midwest, it’s probably a coincidence that the very same demographic that picks crops are also military-aged males, but we’ll disregard that and keep stockpiling just the same. I was thinking earlier that I should probably look into getting a FLIR scope for either my AR or 300 Win Mag or maybe both. I was not shocked but not happy with the prices. They do have one that’s $2200 but even that’s out of my range today. If it ever gets bad here, I will need to be ready 24/7. Then I watched a YouTube video of feral hog hunting with one of these $2200 FLIR scopes and that gave me the further thought that daytime (for now) hog hunting would be excellent practice for running insurgents. Practice leading targets.
CJ,the best I have seen for decent flir is about the 1700 price point.
I am lucky enough to run gen 3 so just looking for a better lazer,best of luck in your optical quest.
However you came by Gen 3, if you’re talking about NV, rather than FLIR is nice; I said on this site, I believe not long ago, my wife (she has to choose only one) is ridiculously cheap or lacks any motivation to learn on her own) has now bought me two different Gen 1 NVs, both binocs. The first pair broke, so she bought another. Yep, it is better than your naked eye in the dark. Just barely. While we have the money, I do understand her not wanting to spend it on things that aren’t food, but come on, if your life is on the line, are you going to don a pair of pork chops to see or would you rather have something that works? Those sand negros can run awfully fast.
Yep,nv 3 mono mounted on a cap,like keeping a eye in the real world as it were.I actually went with the white and really like it,some folks prefer the green which is fine,mine has a function of merit almost 2300 so really glad I got it when I did .
With ball cap mount and all extras will say almost 2900,but…..,feel was worth and dammit,the stuff is also just fun as hell to work with.
On the American Partisan site are some good reviews from folks who have owned their flir for awhile,might be worth a look see.
You are in hog territory feel is almost a mandatory tool,will pay for itself in food and in tougher times can hunt for others,a real community asset.
Get some parachute illuminator flares too. If your NV is inferior to theirs, remove the advantage.
What % does Amazon pay you? I’m going to guess you are not getting anywhere near the revenue you could get if everyone ordered through your affiliate link.
Is there a link I could bookmark on my browser to your affiliate link? I think it would help if everyone bookmarked it.
I’m curious how that works too. Could be it only amounts to the short side of a chickens wishbone. Also interested in what Amazon considers “qualified purchases”.
It averages out to 3%. In the old days it was 6%.
The big yellow Amazon button at the top right of the site is the link.
Hi,
Canadian so I don’t think it works. Does it?
BTW, if someone buys through your link, then returns the item, does Amazon claw back your cut?
If they don’t, I won’t spell it out, but some might want to make some very large purchases and then have buyers remorse.
Amazon does reverse the commission on returns.
Damn.
Question on Amazon purchases: Is your remuneration based on the amount spent or by the number of times someone clicks the AZ button? Example: is there a difference in the amount you get paid if I click on the AZ button once, for a $10 product vs clicking 10 times for $1 each? Sorry if this sounds dumb, but I don’t want to assume.
Does Amazon not sell to Canucks? lol
TBP is inspiring, that is why gRoogle is shadowbanning.
Maybe you’d get more views if you didn’t ban people the second you got your fweelings hurt.
You might get banned simply for being retarded.
Says the retard who just posted a comment. I really need an IQ test to weed out the sub-80 IQ douchebags. I hope I didn’t hurt your fweelings.
Tard Captcha Plus!
Check all boxes where Momma DIDN’T drop you on your head…
We’ll wait.
Hmm, I always spelled it ‘feewings’, but whatever works for each person I’m good with.
Fweelings, nothing more than fweelings
Trying to forget my fweelings of wuv
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my fweelings of wuv.
You sound like my friend bigus discus
Tainan – Try to resist the temptation of being an asshole. What have you done latley?
Quinn got really pissed at me…along with just about everyone laudatory poster a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t get banned.
The Platform is an awesome site that has, in every sense, truly impacted my life more than any other site I’ve been on.
I would love to give more than I have using every opportunity. The Amazon link for us canukistaners doesn’t work because when we try to order amazon switches us to the canukistan site. If there were an affiliate link for us northern family I would use it whenever I ordered anything from amazon. Just say’n.
That’s messed up!
Admin I’ve tried before and again just now but
is not a live link.
If you have an adblocker it is blocking the picture ad that leads to the site. Here is the link.
http://www.libertasbella.com/collections/the-burning-platform
Why isn’t TBP merch advertised on the side bar widget? Shouldn’t you promote your own site’s merch at the top of the site before any of the other advertisers or are they paying based on the location of their ad placement?
It is advertised across the top of the site and the top of the sidebar. Adblockers keep you from seeing the ads.
Touché. I can see them now. You should probably find a way around the adblocker hiding the store ads. I can still see other promo links on the side bar except TBP store.
Set adblocker to not block the domain’s URL: http://www.theburningplatform.com.
No. I used TBP to test if my ad blockers work. I understand Admin has limited options for ad revenue but I’m not interested in doing battle with the pop-up ads every time I refresh the page.
Hmm….site visits are down more than 50% from the high in 2021?
Could it be that many people were silenced by the kill shots?
I fear the VoPo’s have scared off a number of people. F’ them and FJB.
Folks might want to take a look at the American Thinker article that covers the election fraud. The computer guys who do security for sites like Ebay ran state voter registration lists for 15 states and discovered the 15 had from 8% to 15% phony registrations. They also uncover how the fraudulent ballots are “banked” to produce the required numbers on election night at 4AM. They specifically show how the election was stolen from Kari Lake last November. They are also pretty sure this is a Uniparty operation since we also see it being done in Red states like GA and AZ etc.
What is a VoPo?
Vox populi?
Admin, I was laid off, but I did send you a few bucks, as I must stick with an ad blocker, I just can’t deal with the ads.
I don’t have an ad blocker and I didn’t see any ads this time.
Thanks for doing this. Those pop-ups have been especially annoying. I contemplated not reading this site because of them but I reasoned that I don’t read everything anyway, just the stuff that looks like its intentionally serious or intentionally funny. There is a lot of ignorant, boomer, “conservative” capitalist shit on here. But nobody that comes here has to believe it or even read it. I appreciate that.
As one of those “fly over country” conservative boomers, who believe in truly “free market capitalism (not crony capitalism) don’t let the door hit you on your arse should you decide to move on. And speaking for just myself, you should move on. There are many liberal/marxist sites that would welcome you with open arms, I’m sure.
Are you dissing Boomers? Really? Do you have any idea the demographic on here?
Boomer here…truth hurts for way too many of us.
I’m proud of it, myself. I’m the child of the greatest generation. Agreed, we have let them down at least in actions, but not teachings.
Assuming everyone born between 1946 and 1964 thinks the same thing or has had the same experiences is kind of retarded. Yeah, we all heard the same commercials for Spaghetti O’s, but that’s about it. And then they call Joe Biden a boomer – which he’s not. Oh well, who cares?
Heating a can of pork and beans over a campfire, that’s some boomer stuff. Throwing a can of unopened pork and beans on the campfire then running like hell just before it explodes. Pork and beans strung far and wide, in the grass, beans hanging in tree limbs , all over the tents. It does not get much better, boomer stuff.
Here’s a 1970’s Boomer College quip for you Aodh: “Suck a fart, Bitch!”
Try not being so relentlessly anti-American.
Go fuck yourself, you non-critical thinking sheep.
No no, don’t hold back. . . tell us your real feelings.
And Larry, the truth is a defense against anti-american slurs, the same as it is against slander accusations. I can wish it wasn’t so, but wishes and $5 will get you a coffee the same as $5 will.
There is no question that some posts are valid observations and necessary. But the slant of this site is consistent and continuous. For examples, the covid info has been timely and helpful. On the other hand, the coverage of the war in the Ukraine has resembled CNN’s and MSNBC’s coverage of Trump in its negative bias.
You actually believe Putin started the Ukraine war? Jesus Christ, some people are so gullible. You actually think that the same government that lied to you about Covid and the Vaxx is telling you the truth about Ukraine?????
I don’t automatically believe the gov’t. I try to gather info from multiple sources and make my own decisions. The Vid is 0ne topic and Ukraine is another. Aside from excuses, there is no question that Russia militarily seized the Donbas and Crimea in 2014 and invaded Ukraine in 2022. Using alleged provocations as starting a war is like claiming the US started the war against Japan and Pearl Harbor was only the inevitable response to us cutting of Japan’s access to scraps steel and oil. Before the invasion, Russia had been treating Ukraine as its private drum to beat. The invasion of Ukraine was merely more of the same beat down following the Red terrors and the Holodomor.
Wow. Talk about beam in your eye. Why the fuck did Putin take Crimea in 2014? Are you really so brainwashed you can ignore the fact the CIA conducted a coup against a democratically elected president in the Ukraine? The war started then and there, instigated by your government. Keep waving that flag and supporting a corrupt evil regime running this country. You leave me speechless with your ignorance of the facts.
So the hundreds of thousands who stood for month in the middle of Maiden squire were all paid agents or dupes of the CIA? Better check your premises.
Actually believes the BS about hundreds of thousands for months. Yikes. You are the perfect American dupe. The Deep State loves you and your kind.
Check the photos.
Larry
Victoria Nuland conspired with people in and outside Ukraine, with Obama’s blessing to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine. When they succeeded, the NeoCons made the constitution of Ukraine null and void. This gave the Crimea, which still had a constitution the legal grounds to leave.. Now the problem you have, obviously, is that you do not accept the result of the referendum of 2014. You, obviously, feel that only the West can conduct free and fair elections. Do you feel it is just fine for Scotland to have a referendum, or Quebec, or Catalonia or the UK with Brexit?
What exactly would the people have to do to hold a referendum that was binding where you would accept the result?
Just curious..
Let’s just call ’em as they fall. If you believe even the smallest smidgen of BS they shovel out, this, and the rest of the altedis is the wrong place for you.
Keep reading and a little “tincture of time” will show the admin is as right on Ukraine as every other big story.
Ps, You sound Vaccinated!
He wears a mask while driving alone in his car.
He buys Bud Light at Target! 😉
See above. I do neither. My beer of choice is Yuengling Lager.
Like all non crafty beers that Yuengling stuff sucks.
Ah, some Yuengling fans. I think the brewer picks it’s corn out of the NY sewers.
People thought Yuengling was nasty six years ago. Yuengling like all big name domestics is simply nasty corn beer. They have come out with one named Flight , a light that might be alright with no corn. The other stuff is destroyed by corn.
Yuengling sucks
Profound comment.
See above. I got vaccinated twice to be able to travel. Otherwise, no.
I refused the vaxx and kept my job. Sheep.
So did my husband and we traveled without it, too.
The sheep are the people who allowed the lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations to go on as long as they did. Shun them.
Hate them too.
Very fortunate. Couldn’t travel internationally without a vaxx card.
same here, refused and kept my job too!
and I live in Canuckistan…
Baa! Larry…
Larry,
Getting jabbed through coercion shows how little you value freedom. Or, maybe what you really meant is you bought the bullshit. Either way, you’ve shown a lack of critical discernment. Sad coming from a rah rah American.
Make no mistake, I’ll be bold enough to state that everyone here loves America. We choose to focus on what’s wrong with our once great country. Do I really have to list all of the biggest problems? We can’t turn any boat around without stating the problems. And there are many.
As far as Russia Russia Russia is concerned, I have 2 questions for you…
1. Why have we hated/feared Russia since forever?
2. Does or does Russia not have security concerns? Would America allow Canada or Mexico to be occupied or even allow ourselves to be broken into many different countries?
Russia, last time I checked, is quite rich in resources. Why is it stated policy that America/NATO wants to destroy Russia? Do you believe in one world government? I’m sure that’s what this is all about. But that’s just(?) me.
I for one hope at least Russia and China can fend of the neocons. A multi polar(?) world is a better one imo. Think how a gun loving society is a polite society. That extends to countries that can defend themselves also.
Setting the precedent. Guess you would let them take your balls so you could get to Disneyland too.
Though your compliance suggest they may already be gone.
Yes there is a slant.
Apparently it’s butting heads with your “slant”?
Lol just kidding.
The most precious thing about TBP to me is?
The open comments section.
Whoever runs this site has allowed everyone, including me, to express a range of ideas I am quite confident no other site would tolerate.*
This, my friends, to me, is freedom of speech:
That we tolerate each other, but reserve a certain amount of respect for the other person’s right to be a dipshit, along with our right to say so.
*I have posted some point/counterpoint doozies
Ditto. I enjoy exchanges of reasoned ideas. Obviously I view this site. I just believe that on certain issues, this site is not even handed. It can be as biased as it wants. Feel free to only run RT and Tass, but don’t expect most Americans to tune in here. The comment I originally made was in response to why the site is loosing viewers. Most Americans, at least in Red counties, love their country and a drum-beat of negativism will gradually turn them away. There is a place in out country for journalism that highlights America’s faults, but there should be no surprise if the viewership is small.
I hear you Larry and you are not entirely wrong. But and this is a Kardashian sized but, TPBs only “slant” is towards truth. If the site is to limit and moderate the types of articles it posts in order to draw more of a crowd it would be carrying the same propaganda as any mainstream site. I am quite certain if Jim started towing the line he could make quite a bit of money from having all the “correct” content and big ad revenue. But then he would be part of the problem instead of being many people first steps to opening their eyes.
As to your your thought on Ukraine and you statements about Pearl Harbor, you might want to read a little on the lead up to Pearl Harbor. Admiral Richardson was fired by FDR for refusing to park the Pacific Fleet at Pearl. Foia releases now show we had cracked the Japanese codes in November of that year and it is a near certainty we knew what they were planning. Putting the fleet at Pearl was an inviting target because once we were at war with Japan, Germany would and did declare war on the US. Getting FDR what he needed to get past his promise of not sending our boys away to another foreign war. https://www.independent.org/issues/article.asp?id=408
None of what we are learn in our history classes is ever the whole truth.
pogrom,
that is a great link —
there have rumors about fdr’s foreknowledge of pearl harbor but i did not know that it had been proven so conclusively —
he knew almost to the very hour when it would occur —
Thanks Red, I try to put the most conclusive things I can find if I am pontificating or being pedantic (two of my favorite things). It saves time on the back and forth when your data is top shelf. At least it does when you are debating people that actually look at said data.
You have written much truth. However, the possibility that FDR let Pearl Harbor happen doesn’t change two facts. The Japanese made it happen even though we could have struck first. Plus, National Socialism was so evil that it had to be stopped. Waiting for an event that would galvanize the US before it was to late was, if nothing else, was the lesser of two evils. The UK couldn’t have held out forever and without the UK as a base, how could we have rid the world of Hitler. Given Japan’s ideology and behavior, war with them was inevitable. Better before Australia was occupied than after.
The United States declared war on Japan when it put embargoes and sanctions on oil and gas coming from Indonesia. The attack on Pearl Harbor was just an after thought to make it official.
The united States, forced Japan to open up trade, I thought.
The uS then proceeded to equip and educate the Japanese in the art of modern war.
Once they knew how to play, the US and Japan played war.
The results?
A lot of valuable real estate was opened up for redevelopment.
And a bunch of poorly educated peasants no longer needed to be fed.
And a bunch of islands and Japan, fell under uS hegemony.
Took TeamuSA less than 30 years to turn Japan into a modern nation, so they could beat the shit out of it.
The point isn’t that Japan made it happen. The point is that FDR literally sacrificed those that died at Pearl so he could have his “Day that would live in infamy” and it was reported to a trusting populace that it was a dirty filthy surprise attack. It whipped up a rightous fury in the US and allowed him to have the war he was committed to having. It was a lie, a psyop and it worked. It worked so well it has been repeated to one degree or another over and over. The point of my comment wasn’t whether Japan did or didn’t instigate war the point was that our government decieved its own people to obtain the goals it wanted. In so doing it subverted the will of the people. Nobody wanted to go back to Eurpoe after ww1, and the families of those that died at Pearl might argue your lesser of two evils statement. Did those men have to die to galvanize the US for a war its people didn’t want? The needs of the many vs the few? That kind of “it’s for the greater good” thinking is by far the greater of two evils. It led to the Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11 and likely soon to be a dirty bomb style explosion in a Ukrainian NPP all to get people on board with wars America didn’t want to be involved all so the people who own everything can play chess with the rest of us.
My Grandmother on my fathers side emigrated to Canada just before Stalin tightened the starvation noose in the Ukraine. I wholly believe in a Ukraine free of foreign control, I also wholeheartedly believe Putin is doing EXACTLY what he should be doing to make Russia and the Russian speaking peoples in donbass and crimea safe. I think the most dire threat the Ukraine faces is Zelensky and Nato and the US. It is a fucked up world we live in where I can watch the slow motion destruction of the people i am descended from and know for a certainty that the people they are dying to are not the real villains in the story.
You have certainly identified an major philosophical dilemma. I would lose my hair if I had to decide whether to sacrifice 3,000+ men to save the world from Germany and Japan, or do nothing and risk waiting until it was to late. But, doesn’t any commander in every war have to decide to sacrifice lives to obtain an objective or save more lives. The same dilemma pertains to our decision to drop nukes on Japan. Sacrifice all those Japanese lives (more or less innocent) in order to spare a huge number of American lives and grieving families . Should, for example, FDR have held a referendum on whether to invade France, with all details included, so the citizenry could have made a knowledgeable decision? As Sherman said “war is all hell.”
In an ideal world, a democracy should never deceive its own people. We don’t have one of those. We have a system where we supposedly choose wise and honorable people to make hard decisions for the greater good of all the citizens of the country. We do this knowing that even the best men make mistakes. We are arguably already to open, which our adversaries are more than happy to exploit.
Would be a worthwhile debate over brewskis.
3,000+ men were sacrificed so that USA could become the world hegemon.
Nukes were dropped on Japan to keep USSR from partitioning Japan and taking all of the Korean peninsula.
FDR did not give two shits about the lives of common folk.. if he did he would have not forced Japan’s hand with sanctions..
The USA! was never a democracy…
And if a wise and honourable person tries to make hard decisions for the greater good of all the citizens they more often than not end up getting shot like
Sacrificing 3,000+ men to “save the world for Germany and japan” you do make good strawmen and it is almost difficult to resist getting off track… almost.
Tough choices are made in war that is true, strategies often treat lives like an asset or resource to be spent for the sake of winning a battle or even losing a battle to win the war.
Now however, if you could tell me when we went to war? Before or after that sacrifice was made? We were not at war . FDR had in fact gotten elected promising to keep us out of that war. He then set out on a mission to deceive his own people and create the situation to justify going to war. The ONLY reason we pushed and poked at Japan through sanctions and embargos was to push them into committing an overt act of war against us because when they went to war against us Germany would honor it’s pact and also declare war on us. We didn’t “save the world” from Japan and Germany. We saved China and Russia first and foremost. Japan was busy with the mainland of Asia and would have been for a long time. Neither I nor you can say for certain what today would look like if Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany had not been destroyed by our entry into WW2, books have been written on the subject and the views vary wildly. Except… this one thing would have been certain; Communist Russia and Communist China would have ceased to exist.
If the cause of stopping Germany and Japan had been so very righteous then using a false flag to get the people on board wouldn’t have been needed.
You ask with quiet sarcasm if we should have held a referendum before invading France with all facts known? No. We should have had a President willing to respect the will of the people that elected him. We should have had a representative government that if it believed an action was needed it would use the truth of it’s arguments to convince the people it was so. Our way of government isn’t supposed to be easy, it’s supposed to be difficult, and contrary to current times the vast majority of our citizens back then were not the stupid watered down halfwits we have turned into. If an action was needed for the good of this country or the good of the world then you convince the citizens you took an oath to represent to take said action. There is a reason Congress was given the exclusive right to declare war. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
You talk of the trade off for Nuking Japan. We nuked Japan as a demonstration to Russia. We could have ended the war with Japan without killing two cities on the mainland. We could have leveled an Island base within sight of the mainland and they would have seen and they would have known. They didn’t surrender because we killed two cities, they surrendered because we could have killed many more. For Japan this realization would have been the same if we nuked a military base or a city. These were not stupid people. The point was to out savage Stalin to let him know we meant business, when instead we should never have let his Russia survive.
If we wanted to truly end a global evil then we would have let Patton do what he asked to do and role across Stalin while we were there. The wrongs of Germany and Japan pale in comparison to the following decades of Communist Russia and China.
Yes these things are always worth arguing over with a good drink and friendly banter. As long as you understand I might destroy all the beer then blame you so I can finish the argument while you are at the store getting more because that’s how false flags work.
Do I hear a tRumpTard whimper?
Your post brought in the Marxist ICEHOLE trolls that are probably some of the glowie members of the Patriotic Front, or whatever the F BEE I are part of.
Some deep critical thinking must have gone into your counter-post.
Not to comment above but an earlier one.
I’m picking this particular spot to mention every so often, it’s difficult to tell who someone is responding to. Sometimes it’s easy as in your case right here, because of the offset from the comment above. Yet, there’s one or more above you that line up with several comments above. Maybe, we could start the @ sign for responding, or perhaps I could just mind my own damn business.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not if people use the b-quote button.
Please do.
It’s nice when someone teaches you something; now maybe one of us can share that with some others on here.
I’m not sure you understood me. I’m not talking about if you quote someone another user’s comment, which I rarely do, but if you are simply responding to one. Sometimes they are offset, sometimes not, which makes it difficult like today to know who to defend and whom to attack.
The little blue arrows mean something.
What is that.
Ooh, I see
Agreed. And I enjoy your posts on Friday Fails. Keep up the good work.
Dear Larry,
Wisdom has pursued you all your life, but you have always been the faster.
It’s called being anti-corrupt to the core fedgov and if you aren’t anti-corrupt government then you deserve the boot that will stomp on your face, Larry
Sidebar object is causing crazy jittering of the posts. Hard to look at let alone read or post.
That only seems to happen using Edge. Download a free adblocker. I use ghostery and see no ads.
It does it so bad on Safari that it is unreadable on both side bar and comments. I am using the evil empire Google right now and the comments are good but the side bar is still jumping all over.
Not using Edge here. Ads and comments are bouncing around like they got St. Vitus Dance. OK on my cell phone but not on the computer. Not to be a conspiracy theorist but perchance someone is messing with the site.
If you are using a PC then use Brave with a couple ad blockers. All issues will be gone. Its really that simple.
Be Brave, go Brave. hhmm I better copyright that before brave steals it.
Brave or Vivaldi browsers work equally well on this site-no problems for me.
Fixed
I am surprised. I have been coming here for a long time and the frequency of my visits has increased since the beginning of the year.
I never understood how folks could not simply add adblock.
Sidebar adds fine and even get a look/heck give em a tap just to help pull in a few for site,viewed believe gets site a small amount of monies.
That said,never use the big a and thus just contribute(will again),as for lack of views guess those still here just post like sob’s.
As for site being “unamerican”,OK,have to admit I am now lost/confused.
James, I think a lot of the folks are using their Samsung or iPhones to view TBP. If they don’t have something like ad-block installed or, are not using Brave as their browser, the ads can be very pervasive and make reading the articles cumbersome. On a PC, not so much.
If you are using Android, the ads are often not even via the website but inserted by Google at tablet level. Website has nothing to do with it.
My old tablet made this obvious.
I’m running Windows and use three different browsers. I have Brave, Vivaldi, which is similar, and also the Bill Gates special Windows Microsoft Edge. I’m using Brave here. Yep, and true you can add all kinds of blocks and other things onto this browser. The Honey® app isn’t what I used to be, but sometimes comes through.
Now that you mention it, honey is not working like it used to.
I have to say TBP was one of the first websites that started we on the journey towards awareness somewhere around ten years ago. It is the longest continuously viewed website on my computer. Ahead of even theconservativetreehouse .com
Your ads don’t bother me, I have a ad blocker and all I see is a small empty box with “native advertising here.” Besides most people have trained themselves to ignore intrusive ads and focus on finding the X to shut it off. If you don’t have an ad blocker you are an expert at “mental blocking.”
Try reaching out to more mainstream sites. You are not some screaming radical, you just say things the money people don’t want said. That said you are a great gateway drug. Addictive enough with interesting and controversial takes on a variety of issues and have enough links that you can start to explore the alt media world that I am still here EVERY day. None of those other alt sites I visited back then are still on my radar -Drudge or Breitbart are prime examples.
You are doing a great job and it is important. It is more probably the powers that be messing with your numbers or just the perception of your numbers. Go see AC at anonymousconservative.com for more info.
Good luck, keep swinging

I use brave to stop the pop ups and I have gotten so used to not seeing the sidebar that I failed to see the big yellow Amazon square at the top. I will try to remember to use it. We are unfortunately still using Amazon. Even when I try to order something direct from an alternative website it has come in Amazon packaging so I’m wondering if they even use it to ship their stuff.
I’m glad you are doing this because when I have sent articles from TBP to friends I’ve had people complain about the pop ups and tell me it was too annoying to read.
I’m using Brave with AdGuard installed on my PC and I am able to see the large yellow Amazon square.
I can see everything on the sidebar, Brewer. I just got very good at tuning it out of my sphere of vision unless I was specifically looking for something. It’s very similar to selective hearing…lol!
10-4, something my wife has been accusing me of lately! Hehe
I’ve never seen the “yellow ” amazon square. Maybe because my color is messed up on the computer. Mine is brown. Even Homer Simpson is the wrong color. He’s green.
The square I see is anywhere from dark orange to a shade off burnt orange. Depends on what angle I look and I’m cross eyed anyway , anymore, just looking at the world around me.
Have had the same experience and always wondered how the friends even tolerate the internet without an adblocker. For me its pop ups when i am on my phone that drive me crazy. I usually end up with araft of amazon gift cards for my birthday which is in a couple days. I will be sure to use your link Jim.
Sounds to me just thinking quickly, that we’re going to need to implement Monday Fails, Tuesday Fails, Wednesday Fails, Thursday Fails, Friday Fails, Saturday Fails, and Sunday Jesus time. After all, it’s His day and we need to atone for the rest of the week. Hopefully, Sunday will draw as many as the other 6 days combined.
My computer took a massive shit in May & I was very seriously considering not replacing it. There is less & less good stuff to do online. The real world is still hanging on if I go outside to find it & personal interaction sure do beat some of the many new sockpuppet shitheads on the internet.
It seems that posts are way down on all the sites I visit daily; news, hobby, & otherwise. Especially the hobby stuff might be farcebook’s doing. Unsure how that translates to the number of views but…
By the way, Windows 11 sucks dirty dog balls. You’d think it would be more user friendly than 7, but it’s a miserable piece of Microsoft shit.
🤣🤣My husband said that is a perfect description. I don’t use 11 so I don’t know.
I was forced to update to Win10 from Win7 by the software I need a few months back. 7 was better but 10 is acceptable, if worse. Dig a bit and it looks like they just painted over 7 with some new 10 bits.
Just in time for MS to stop forcing it to update. And it tells me I CAN’T have Win11. OH NO! What a shame. 🙂
Both, my laptop and desktop (yep, I love desktops and will never cease owning one.) I build them myself from parts have said I’m good for 11, but no fuckin thank you.
I am sticking to 10 and actually prefer Linux, but it just doesn’t work with everything; some people are rather adept at getting them to mesh, but not moi.
Well done Jim – never give up. Maybe it’s just something to do with the summer months? I have lost some 100 Substack subscribers through June, the first time I have gone down. “Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.” – H. G. Wells
I am linking TBP like mad in my Substack and they tell me that I am read in 80 countries and all 50 states of USA. I know that prayers work, Jim, so I am sending some for all our family. 🙂
“TBP views hit a multi-year low of 627,000 in June. This is down from the all-time high of 1.4 million in November of 2021.”:
Coronahoax lockdowns spurred more Internet traffic during that timeframe.
Saw a post on Whatfinger,that should help draw cons.
Well, If you didn
Well, Darn if it allowed me to post. You have too many tracking cookies for me to regularly enjoy your site. I have read some of your articles before I get here and while you do have a couple of journalists I enjoy, they don’t post everyday. So I only randomly visit. But it’s really about the privacy violations. Now gotta go erase all the cookies and fingerprinting files. Don’t feel poorly, I know it’s all about the data. I just don’t play the game. Web Integrity disappeared after the IBM PC Jr. And I almost never Do Links! Not even on my favorite sites. Thanks for the opportunity to provide you insight from ‘not a sheeple’. I tried email before but wasn’t willing to sacrifice all my right to privacy to give feedback you could probably care less about. Same way I feel about most subscription websites. Cheers!
Excellent job in protecting your privacy Anon!
You should be just fine, and your privacy will remain intact as long as you just don’t post anything online…….
Doh!
[there is no online privacy..shhhh]
I just saw a ‘my pillow’ ad. You still have some work to do.
100!
Which is how much I plan to send TBP today.
Thanks to Jim and Avalon for continuing the effort, against the wind.
I just donated 100 bucks! I try to do so a couple times a year, at least. I do not come to the site as often as before, but I check daily, to see what “real” people think.
Mortimer Duke “Half of that was from me.”
We figured out the what was causing the site to jump and fixed it. Carry on.
What was it?
Kittens playing in the server again?
For my 100 bucks I would like an explanation of The Voice thing in Australia from LLPOH.
Unless he’s dead or something.
Hey Ghost!
Like you I am not around here as much as I should. Just letting you know, and for what its worth, that everything is going great here in Nova Scotia. Not sure why the urge to post has subsided but it does seem that the storm has passed.
We have moved into our new house on the shore. It is an amazing place. You should drop by sometime. Our front yard are the shores of Northumberland. It is probably why most days I am prone to watch the show from the deck rather than being a bit player in the band on this Titanic.
And speaking of decks, one is being built right now for family and friends to enjoy the view. Two decks in fact with a stone patio to connect, and the best part is this one, unlike that ilfated one, is anchored to land and designed to just see the icebergs.
The reviews are in, so far so good.
Even the Boss approves!
To wit and to end, you know moar than most of struggles by me gone bad. Played out over the years here on this platform were my quaint notions that truth and justice could span, I lived in another world making a bodge of the life I should have had.
My blinders are off when it comes to the government and what they can and can’t do.
I wonder sometimes why I am not worried about what could and should come to pass. Last night a fog rolled in and thru the distance I could hear from a distant shore the foghorn, maybe it was Murray Harbour Prince Edward Island, that wistfully blast. A sunset obscured I went about my day getting things done, forgetting for a moment Russia’s war with the West, all the while knowing what is going to come next.
Working on my deck I felt like John Connor, that character from the movie the Terminator, knowing the threat will return again. It’s the bottom of the sixth, another lead blown, I go to bed.
Here at work this morning, sitting at my desk, I check the ticker for scores from last night’s match and find out that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stepped to the plate looking for a pitch up in the zone and got a high slider and parked it in a party deck.
A two-run homer, in the eighth inning, and I missed it all again.
There is a moral to this story I guess. The lesson is one of patience. That it too shall pass and if not there’s faith and my Lord, that in what intervenes, all I can hope for, is to view a few moar sunsets in the West before my ashes join the Northumberland Shore.
…and now for something completely different.
Thanks. TBP was great, BUT it became un-usable (due to ads).
will try again.
I got my grandson to set the clock on my microwave so it no longer blinks “12:00” all the time.

Lost viewership couldn’t be from posting so many wild conspiracy theory articles?
Couldn’t be from posting Unz articles?
Couldn’t be from having been commandeered by a mob of Jew hating idiots?
Couldn’t be from all the Covid articles?
Couldn’t be from having abandoned its original mission?
The Burning Platform has jumped the shark. It is a shame.
IMO Jared Kushner sucks but for you to say
, “That’s really an extraordinary statement,” like Rudy Giuliani commented on the idea of blowback behind 911 during a GOP 2007 SC primary debate. Of course RG was and still is covered with swamp mud.

I totally dig this site.
The “blame the Jews canard” [and a host of other “other” canards] is for some people, a lesson they are still decoding.
Went down the road and came out the other side. Without a banner.
Then I noticed a lot of “blame the
_____” canards directed at
other “others” and voila!
Light bulb turned on.
Level up soon followed.
Weehocka!

Fact is, a lot of people believe the other “other” propaganda that is bring promoted everywhere.
And that is a huge problem for working together.
Even though one can figuratively “rise above” their current “spiritual station” via realizing how much of our world is propaganda, one would do well to remain aware of the beliefs one once held, and understand exactly how dangerous that made oneself when one held whatever beliefs one has come to understand were in error.
Then apply this new understanding to everyone around you.
Now you know how truly dangerous the world is.
A lot of people believe a lot of hateful things about each other.
Who told them? TPTB.
Who benefits? TPTB

Thank you for removing those two annoying pop-ups. I am a daily user and they made using the website difficult on an iPad.
Maybe it’s just a special case, but on my laptop with chrome browser TBP consumes a lot of CPU resources, the laptop heats up and after some time the page closes due to lack of memory resources. It’s very discouraging. This happens especially after turning on the page translation option in the google browser. I haven’t noticed such a symptom on any other page, so probably refreshing the page or some part of it in my case has some defect and is constant even after loading and translating the page.
I’ve had good utility from two HP laptops over a twelve year period. The first did crap out but I carried it around. The second sits on my desk as a desktop/laptop. Maybe buy an HP?
Auntie suspects a bit of post-CoVid-19(84) malaise has set in, Admin. And the summer is here. No masks most places, too, The B3RG* have reversed the choker collar a smidge for the Lumpen until the next big “crisis” (even the the World is imploding at this very moment.) There’s just so much corruption and bizarreness in our contempirary world that away-time from the raw, bold truths and opinions expressed and published here may be needed for a breather.
I know that I, and simply most people, need one from time to time. A breather that is.
Freedom of speech is practiced here and Auntie counts it a place for reflection on concrete objective reality. And like Mom asked ove a New Year’s call: Darling , why is the world all fucked up?” No kidding.
Totally off topic; anyone have plans for Bastille Day? Quelqu’un? Buehler?
