TGP Communications, the parent company of the conservative The Gateway Pundit news site, has announced a victory in its First Amendment fight with Arizona's Maricopa County.
The organization reported the county's board of supervisors has signed off on a settlement resolving the claims that involve "viewpoint" discrimination.

Calling the result a "historic" settlement, the publication cited a decision by the supervisors to adopt a settlement plan involving payment of $175,000.
The Gateway Pundit explained its case developed when officials in the county "sought to prevent TGP reporter Jordan Conradson from attending briefings following the 2020 midterm elections."

The report added, "Maricopa County claimed The Gateway Pundit’s coverage was not reputable after TGP and Conradson had forced a county official from office through our previous exclusive reporting. County officials were terrified of Jordan and TGP and attempted to block our outlet from public press gatherings."

A judge appointed by Barack Obama, John Tuchi, originally sided with the county, but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed, finding that "the county’s refusal to grant a press pass to TGP and Conradson was based on viewpoints expressed in his writings, and said it violated the First Amendment," the report said.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Question: Why do the political and corporate leaders of America – long the freest, most successful, most prosperous and most Christian nation in history – bow and scrape before China, a ruthless, communist, totalitarian and explicitly atheistic dictatorship openly committed to ruling the world, including America?

The astonishing answers come into focus only when one contemplates both the unprecedented level of political and financial corruption in America’s ruling class (multiple Biden family members received $31 million in payola from China), and simultaneously the communist Chinese government’s brilliantly devious methods of unconventional total warfare, by which China is stealthily infiltrating, subverting, corrupting and colonizing the United States of America.
The China threat has rarely been more dramatically or pointedly documented than in the sensational March issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOW CHINA IS CONQUERING AMERICA.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
