Musicians supercharged the turbulent ‘60s with a very groovy soundtrack.
The times were a changin’, and artists responded with some stellar protest songs.
No matter your politics, tracks like “A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke, “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and “Respect” by Aretha Franklin proved timely and timeless.
Today, the music industry still cranks out the occasional protest ditty, but they typically hail from the Left. And, in most cases, they don’t break out in popular culture.
Is anyone humming Pink’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pink-bashes-supreme-court-trump-and-guns-with-angry-new-single-irrelevant">Irrelevant</a>” beyond the folks on her tour bus? 
Now, though, right-leaning artists are picking up the slack. These songs can’t be heard on terrestrial radio, and “Saturday Night Live” most likely won’t be showcasing them between its hard left-leaning sketches.
Nevertheless, these songs still leave a serious mark, bumping aside superstars like Lizzo and Adele in the process. One draws so much satirical blood it’s amazing the song’s target didn’t enter the Witness Protection Program.
Either way, they offer both a welcome balance and a sense that the whole “power to the people” cry still matters.
<h4>Five Times August</h4>
This talented singer/songwriter (real name: Brad Skistimas) enjoys some mainstream success via his extensive TV show and commercial work. He’s appeared on FOX Business and Billboard Magazine, but it’s his satirical songs that deserve greater attention.
Tracks like “I Will Not Be Leaving Quietly,” “This Just In,” and “Fight for You” showcase his abilities, and his sonic assault on Dr. Anthony Fauci may be his most incendiary, and richly rewarding, song to date.
“<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsANoiJa9Uc">Sad Little Man</a>,” accompanied by a killer video with echoes of Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python artwork, eviscerates the nation’s best-paid bureaucrat.
Sad little man but he&#8217;s treated like a God 
As the faithless pray to a fake and a fraud 
Worship the man, pledge to his word 
One shot, two shot, now you get a third
<h4>Tom MacDonald</h4>
The rapper isn’t conservative or liberal, but his anti-woke spirit speaks directly to Red State USA. It’s hard to pick just one MacDonald song that undresses the identity politics crowd. He’s deflated the progressive movement with “Fake Woke,” “WhiteBoy,” and “Straight White Male.”
His hit song “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCMwlorNEZk">Snowflakes</a>” perfectly captures his inner protest singer.
I hear &#8217;em preaching at a protest that hatred&#8217;s the problem 
But hating straight men, white folks, and Christians is common 
Coca Cola telling people they should be less white 
They preaching tolerance but if you disagree, they fight 
There&#8217;s a race war here, elections based on fear 
Black lives only matter once every four years
MacDonald’s music videos routinely rack millions of views and often rise to the top of the <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tom-macdonald-moves-enough-albums-to-top-billboard-at-1-but-data-collection-agency-wont-respond-301500821.html">modern charts</a>.
<h4>John Rich </h4>
The country superstar isn’t known for his protest songs, but that all changed in 2022. The singer, part of the Big and Rich duo, uncorked a whopper of a track that instantly caught fire. Those flames didn’t ignite on the radio, broadcast television, or even Twitter.
Rich promoted “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6tOAafAJCA">Progress</a>” on both Rumble and Truth Social, two platforms that embrace free speech principles.
The result? “Progress” soared to the number one spot on Apple iTunes music chart, knocking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/woke-vs-patriotism-lizzo-and-john-rich-both-have-1-songs-right-now-but-who-wins">Lizzo down a peg in the process</a>.
They shut down our pipelines 
And they shut down our voices 
They shut down our main streets 
And they shut down our choices 
They bent us all over 
But it&#8217;s all over now 
&#8216;Cause we&#8217;ve figured it out 
We ain&#8217;t backing down
<h4>Five for Fighting</h4>
John Ondrasik’s musical alter ego gave us smashes like “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” and “100 Years.” The hockey devotee leans to the Right, but his music hardly reflects that world view. He’s also an unlikely artist to embrace the protest song ethos. 
Things changed after he watched the heartbreaking headlines generated by President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. The news proved so awful even the corrupt mainstream press couldn’t cover for Biden. 
Ondrasik has deep ties to the military community, and when he had learned of even more devastating news tied to the withdrawal, he had had enough.
He wrote “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4TUAYg0UCw">Blood on My Hands</a>,” a withering takedown of Team Biden, and released it on YouTube. 
Hands 
Got blood on my hands 
Got blood on my hands 
Flag of the Taliban 
Over Afghanistan 
General Austin, is there no honor in shame? 
Can you spell Bagram without the letters in blame? 
Did uncle Joe stick a drip in your veins?
To no one’s surprise <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10380487/Youtube-removes-singer-songwriter-John-Ondrasiks-Blood-Hands-video-slammed-Biden.html">YouTube censored the song</a>, claiming the Taliban-related imagery accompanying the track wasn’t appropriate. Ondrasik had put up his own “graphic warning” label on the video and applauded YouTube for doing the same after they added a child content restriction. His hands stopped clapping, though, when the Google-owned platform removed the clip. YouTube eventually restored the video.
<h4>Bryson Gray</h4>
The conservative rapper sensed the time was right to put a melody behind the “Let’s Go Brandon” chant. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlHR7M-1fX4">His song</a> of the same name did more than that. It earned Gray a YouTube strike for so-called “medical misinformation,” but that didn’t stop it from hitting the <a href="https://www.kusi.com/lets-go-brandon-becomes-number-one-song-on-itunes-hip-hop-chart/">no. 1 spot on iTunes charts.</a>
If you ask questions &#8217;bout the vax, then they gonna ban us (It&#8217;s true)  
Ayy, this is &#8217;bout control, everybody knows  
Everyone complies weigh the cons and pros  
I don&#8217;t need a plane, I just hit the road  
I do what I want, I can&#8217;t sell my soul  
Market &#8217;bout to crash, this is what you chose 
The rapper, whose song ranked higher than a new ditty from Adele, thanked YouTube for <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/10/27/lets-go-brandon-rapper-bryson-grays-banned-anti-biden-song-is-no-1/">making his song soar even higher</a>:
“Cancel culture doesn’t work anymore. It only works on people who are scared … all it does is help me out. Thanks, YouTube!”
<h4>Buddy Brown</h4>
This country crooner went to Nashville to start his music career, but the suits said he shouldn’t sing about conservative themes. Brown took his guitar and left, forging his own indie career via YouTube.
Now, his videos rack on millions of views, and he’s able to speak his mind sans filter. Brown’s political songs are silly and smart, puckish but not mean-spirited. With “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKk_e_-b7z8">We Gotta Be Less White</a>,” he takes Coca-Cola to task for its woke agenda.
We gotta <a href="https://genius.com/22349809/Buddy-brown-be-less-white/Be-less-white">be less white</a>, be less white 
&#8216;Cause liberals gone wild and they lost their minds 
We gotta be less white, be less white 
Now I&#8217;m switching to Pepsi 
And it&#8217;s all alright

Let's Go Brandon

Readers Pass

President Joe Biden apparently has a &#8220;pal&#8221; named Brandon.
Earlier this week, Biden strolled on to a White House set to tape a brief address. &#8220;All right,&#8221; he said as he gingerly pulled a chair out from a desk and sat down.
&#8220;Brandon, how are you? Can you hear me?&#8221; he said. After a few seconds, someone off screen can be heard saying, &#8220;Yes sir. Thank you.&#8221;
&#8220;Good to have you, pal,&#8221; Biden said to Brandon.
<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" title="&amp;apos;Brandon, Can You Hear Me?&amp;apos; Biden Wanders Onto White House Set, Starts Talking to &amp;apos;Brandon&amp;apos;" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vv94gn/?pub=4#?secret=UI2IgJpDRD" data-secret="UI2IgJpDRD" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0"></iframe>
The brief clip brings to mind the phrase &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon!&#8221; The phrase was born when NASCAR driver Brandon Brown, 28, won a race on October 2, 2021, at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama and NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast confused the crowd jeering “F*** Joe Biden” for “Let’s Go Brandon!”
The chant quickly exploded across the U.S., with college football crowds booming out the refrain in unison as they gathered by the thousands in huge stadiums.
“This holiday weekend, as the Old Row Sports Twitter account extensively documented, saw many appearances of both versions of the chant, ranging from that preferred by Christian conservatives at Jerry-Fallwell-founded Liberty University to the much-earthier version, including one spelled out on the type of sign normally seen at road-construction sites,” The Western Journal <a href="https://twitter.com/OldRowSports/status/1447348992656957443">reported</a> in October.
The chant has been spreading ever since, and <a href="https://www.outkick.com/f-k-joe-biden-chants-are-taking-over-college-football-spreads-to-baseball/">Outkick</a> chronicled the explosion:
<blockquote>Fans chanting “F–k Joe Biden” at stadiums from Tennessee to Alabama to Oxford, Mississippi is quickly becoming the battle cry for football fans across the country as the citizens of this country continue to show disobedience to the great [Emperor] and his presidency.
The big news this week with the “F–k Joe Biden” chant movement is that it has spread from college football and into the baseball community, where New Yorkers chanted “F–k Joe Biden” during Fox Sports’ weekend coverage of the Subway Series. Fans could be heard sending a message to Biden as ARod and Big Papi dissected the Yankees-Mets game.</blockquote>
On October 5, an irritated Biden reacted to a chilly reception in Michigan, where some 500 protesters gathered during his visit there, many holding signs that said “f*** Joe Biden” and “Stop the Spending.”
“Not withstanding some of the signs I saw coming in … that’s why 81 million Americans voted for me,” Biden said.
After Biden was hit with the phrase on a Christmas eve call to parents and children, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/parent-uses-right-wing-slur-during-biden-call-norad-santa-n1286595">dubbed</a> it a “right-wing slur.”
“President Joe Biden was subjected to a right-wing anti-Biden slur during a Christmas Eve call with NORAD’s Santa tracker,” the network said in a story posted online.
“Biden and the first lady were speaking with families around the country who had called into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to receive an update on Santa’s location when one parent ended the conversation by saying: ‘Let’s go Brandon.’ The president did not appear to recognize that the phrase is used by the right wing as a euphemism for ‘F*** Joe Biden,’ and responded: ‘Let’s go Brandon, I agree,’” NBC reported.

Biden Has A ‘Pal’ Named Brandon

Joe Biden

An Alabama man who ordered a personalized &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221; themed license plate has been told he must change it or lose his vehicle&#8217;s registration.
Nathan Kirk, the owner of Blount County Tactical in Blount County, Alabama, first shared the incident with AL.com.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Nothing about it is right,” Kirk said regarding the letter from the state&#8217;s Department of Revenue. “Someone at Montgomery, I’m assuming, doesn’t like it, and now they’re throwing a fit.”
The letter, sent to his wife Courtney Kirk since her name was on the title of the vehicle, demanded the licence plate changed within 10 days, claiming the lettering licesnse plate&#8217;s letter of &#8220;LGBFJB&#8221; is &#8220;objectionable content.&#8221;
“The Alabama Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division, has determined the above referenced license plate contains objectionable language which is considered by the Department to be offensive to the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama,” the letter reportedly stated.
Kirk said he paid $700 for the personalized lettering on his &#8220;Don&#8217;t Tread on Me&#8221; plate in October 2021. The report noted Kirk is considering legal action on First Amendment grounds.
The license plate&#8217;s lettering referring to &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221; and &#8220;F*** Joe Biden&#8221; builds on the popularity of the phrases following a NASCAR race at Alabama&#8217;s Talladega Speedway in 2021. The crowd behind NASCAR winner Brandon Brown chanted, &#8220;F*** Joe Biden.&#8221; The NBC Sports announcer claimed they were saying, &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon!&#8221;
The viral phrase quickly led to memes and merchandise using the phrase as a jab at President Joe Biden and his policies.

“The issues we are facing are so much bigger than ‘Brandon.’ The frustration and anger we are feeling toward the failures of our current leadership in Washington is what motivated me to run,” McCormick <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pennsylvania-senate-race-dave-mccormick-to-air-lets-go-brandon-ad-during-super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News in an interview ahead of the ad’s release.
“Whether it’s not being able to afford gas or groceries because of record-high inflation, rampant crime in our cities, a dramatic spike in the trafficking of fentanyl and human exploitation across open borders, or the disgraceful lack of accountability for the death of 13 young service members in Afghanistan — these problems were self-inflicted by Joe Biden and the extreme policies of the Left. Pennsylvanians have had enough,” McCormick, a Gulf War combat veteran, continued.
In January, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted Biden in remarks during an interview, saying that there were a lot of problems around the country with “Brandon,” a name used to mock Biden, in office. The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-shreds-biden-theres-a-huge-amount-of-problems-in-u-s-with-brandon-in-the-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:

“We’re still strong in the state of Florida. We’re beating Brandon in Florida,” DeSantis added. “When I got elected, there were about 300,000 more registered Democrats in Florida than Republicans. Well now, for the first time in history, we have more Republicans than Democrats, and we’re gaining more and more every single month.”</blockquote>
DeSantis most recently referred to the Biden administration as the &#8220;Brandon administration&#8221; during his speech at CPAC in Orlando.

Let’s Go Brandon

Alabama Man’s ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ License Plate Recalled Over ‘Objectionable’ Language

Ron DeSantis

At least one fan apparently wrote a message to President Joe Biden on the finish line of the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, this weekend.
During a live interview with NASCAR fans at the Daytona 500, a reporter from FOX 35 Orlando asked: “What are you going to sign on that finish line?”
“What do you think I’m going to sign?&#8221; one man told the reporter, video shows. &#8220;I’m going to sign ‘F*** Joe Biden’!”
&#8220;That&#8217;s the risk we have here when we broadcast live,&#8221; the reporter said, after quickly moving on from the fan.
He didn&#8217;t have much luck with the next fan, either, though.
&#8220;I love the American flag shirt&#8221; the reporter said to a man in an American flag shirt. &#8220;What are you going to sign on the checkered line?&#8221;
&#8220;Um, I just did,&#8221; the fan replied. &#8220;Would you like to see what I wrote?&#8221;
&#8220;Just tell me &#8212; is it clean?&#8221; the reporter asked.
&#8220;It is not clean,&#8221; the fan responded.
It&#8217;s unclear what the man really wrote, but a woman narrating the shocking moment speculated: &#8220;F*** Joe Biden,&#8221; she said with a laugh.

At a NASCAR race last year, fans chanted &#8220;F*** Joe Biden&#8221; while an NBC reporter was interviewing race winner Brandon Brown. The reporter notably claimed fans were actually cheering on Brown, telling viewers fan were saying, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go Brandon.&#8221; Now, “Let’s go Brandon” has become synonymous with “F*** Joe Biden.”
The anti-Biden expression has since popped up at concerts, sporting events, and protests.
Beloved host and advocate for blue-collar workers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mike-rowe-details-real-meaning-of-clever-lets-go-brandon-chant-admits-what-makes-him-want-to-say-it">Mike Rowe</a> explained in December the real meaning behind the highly-popularized, “clever,” and “hysterical” chant.
“The times that we’re living in right now are forcing lots of people on both sides of the aisle to look at a thing, or hear a thing, and be told that what they’re seeing and what they’re hearing is not real,” Rowe said. “And you can’t do that to people indefinitely and expect them not to push back somehow. You can’t tell people that the border is secure and then show them images of tens of thousands of people flooding over it. You can’t tell people that the evacuation of Afghanistan was a success and then show them people falling off of a plane. … And you can’t ask people who are watching a NASCAR race at home, who clearly hear the crowd yelling ‘F*** Joe Biden’ to pretend that what they’re really hearing is ‘Let’s Go Brandon.’”
“I think what’s happened is people have just become sick and tired of being told that what they’re seeing and what they’re hearing is not what they’re seeing and hearing,” Rowe emphasized.
“And this is the perfect trope,” he continued. “I don’t think people who yell it are necessarily enemies of the president. I think they’re enemies of being told that what they’re seeing and what they’re hearing isn’t real, that it’s somehow a figment of their imagination. People are sick of that.”

NASCAR Cup Series 64th Annual Daytona 500

‘F*** Joe Biden’: NASCAR Fans Tell Reporter What They Signed On Finish Line At Daytona 500

NASCAR

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told The Daily Wire this week that the &#8220;F*** Joe Biden&#8221; chants that have broken out at sporting events across the country signal not &#8220;a wave&#8221; but a &#8220;tsunami&#8221; is set to hit Democrats in this fall&#8217;s midterm elections as he warns Democrats are facing an all-out &#8220;bloodbath.&#8221;
Cruz pointed to the Democrats managing to &#8220;screw up every single issue they&#8217;ve touched&#8221; — including Biden&#8217;s border crisis, handling of the pandemic, and &#8220;disastrous&#8221; foreign policy decisions — and the skyrocketing inflation rates being felt by consumers across the country. At one point during the interview, Cruz <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cruz-rips-biden-our-enemies-know-biden-is-too-weak-to-do-a-damn-thing-about-their-hostile-intentions">said</a>, &#8220;Biden’s administration in just a year is already worse than Jimmy Carter.&#8221;
&#8220;I think 2022 is going to be a bloodbath for Democrats,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just going to be a wave, it&#8217;s going to be a tsunami. I believe Republicans are going to win the House and we&#8217;re going to win the Senate. And I think it will be on the order of magnitude of 1994 or 2010.&#8221;
Cruz noted numerous instances where Democrat politicians and Left-wing figures have been slammed for ignoring coronavirus restrictions, including Stacey Abrams, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, former President Barack Obama, and NBA star LeBron James.
Cruz said:
<blockquote>When you shut down schools, you&#8217;ve shut down businesses, you trample on people&#8217;s individual liberty, you destroy their jobs, you destroy their livelihoods, and you abuse government power. When the Biden DOJ directs the FBI to target moms and dads, to target parents as domestic terrorists, for daring to stand up to the abuse of power. When the Biden White House demands of Spotify that they pull Joe Rogan off the air for exercising his first amendment rights. When Canadian bureaucrats demand of big tech that they steal $10 million from Canadian truckers standing up for liberty. People get pissed.
This election is about Liberty versus tyranny and the abuses of the left, the arrogance of the left, these petty tyrants that believe they can control your life, I think has awakened a sleeping giant and there&#8217;s something beautiful happening. There&#8217;s something organic happening when you see Canadian truckers by the thousands, that is an organic grassroots movement of rage and frustration with petty tyranny. When you see moms in Virginia rising up against the abuse of power by local school boards, and pompous Democrats like Terry McAuliffe, and the President of the United States, that is an incredible organic uprising. When you see tens of thousands of people in football stadiums across America, chanting &#8216;F Joe Biden&#8217;, and not abbreviating, it is an extraordinary demonstration of organic grassroots rage. And a moment that truly drove it home was in a home game of the New England Patriots, when, even in Boston, Massachusetts, the entire stadium was chanting &#8216;F Joe Biden&#8217;, If you&#8217;re a Democrat, that&#8217;s a real problem.</blockquote>

Before takeoff, a passenger on an Allegiant Air flight was asked to leave the plane over a &#8220;comment&#8221; he had written on his mask. The flight attendant who confronted him asked him to put on a different mask. He asked if that was a violation of his rights, prompting her to cite an “FAA regulation” as the reason for her decision.

Some have claimed that &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221; was written on the mask.
“Allegiant confirmed to <a class="class" href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/video-purports-show-man-being-removed-plane-lets-go-brandon-mask" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">Fox Business</a> that the passenger was removed but claimed it was because he was disobeying the flight attendant. Allegiant wouldn&#8217;t confirm whether or not the passenger had been unruly or violated the policy based on the slogan, nor where the flight departed or was headed,” <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10522255/Allegiant-passenger-kicked-flight-Lets-Brandon-mask-on.html">The Daily Mail</a> reported, adding that Allegiant released a statement that read:
<blockquote>
The video in question depicts part of an incident involving a passenger who failed to comply with repeated crew member requests to adhere to the federal face mask policy&#8230;. The passenger was removed from the flight and issued a refund for his fare. Disregarding instructions from flight crew members is prohibited by federal regulations and is grounds for removal from a flight where such conduct creates an unsafe environment&#8230;
The decision to remove a passenger is never made lightly and is always done with the safety of our passengers and crew in mind. In April, the FAA adopted a zero-tolerance policy against unruly passenger behavior, which includes failure to comply with crew members&#8217; instructions. We welcome the FAA&#8217;s renewed strong stance on unruly passengers, understanding the safety risk such incidents can create for both passengers and crew.
</blockquote>
Some political messages have been tolerated and even promoted by airlines; in September 2020, in the wake of the summer-long riots across the country sparked by the death of George Floyd, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/american-airlines-crew-black-lives-matter-pins/">CBS News</a> reported that American Airlines permitted its employees to wear a Black Lives Matter pin on their uniforms. “The decision comes after American Airlines employees saw people at other companies wearing BLM pins and asked if they could do the same,” CBS News noted.
American Airlines issued a <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2020/09/07/black-lives-matter-american-delta-show-support-custom-blm-pins/5739331002/">statement</a> saying:
<blockquote>American Airlines believes in equity and inclusion for all&#8230;Fundamentally, we believe Black Lives Matter is an expression of equality, not a political statement&#8230;It doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter, rather that in our society Black lives should matter and be valued the same as others. We are showing our support for our Black colleagues and customers who have experienced discrimination and injustice, not any particular organization. This decision underscores our belief that all people, regardless of race, gender or ethnicity, deserve to be treated with equality and respect.</blockquote>
In October 2020, it was <a href="https://liveandletsfly.com/united-airlines-blm-pin/">reported</a> that United Airlines would introduce an optional Black Lives Matter (BLM) pin for employees and also to customers. United issued a memo to employees that stated:
<blockquote>During a time when it can be tough to have open conversations about race and equality in our country, and possibly even more challenging to show a commitment toward ending systemic racism — United has stepped up, created companywide forums to encourage an open dialogue and put in place a series of steps that demonstrate our dedication to diversity, equity and inclusion.
Now we’re proud to take that responsibility further by offering our employees and customers the opportunity to purchase a custom-designed, branded Black Lives Matter pin, with proceeds dedicated to an important, nonprofit cause.
As a global company with diverse employees around the world, we are proud to stand alongside a growing number of large public-facing corporations and big brands that have prominently supported our common humanity.</blockquote>
Jessica Kimbrough, United’s Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, echoed, “This new pin is voluntary for our employees and just one way of saying that we stand in support of the dignity, respect and safety of our Black colleagues and customers.  And we recognize that anything less does not fit with our core4 values.”

Pennsylvania Senate Candidate David McCormick (R) has released a 30-second ad — featuring the now-ubiquitous chant &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon&#8221; — that will air on NBC affiliates across his state during Sunday&#8217;s Super Bowl LVI.
The ad features a series of headlines detailing many of the issues facing the American people — which McCormick argues are the result of President Joe Biden and his <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/former-head-of-homeland-security-biden-policies-a-national-embarrassment-need-to-be-investigated/">administration&#8217;s policies</a> — with a constant chant of &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon&#8221; in the background.

<li>Big Tech is silencing conservative voices (The Times 7/17/20)</li>

<li>Illegal border crossings soar to record highs (NY Times 10/22/21)</li>
</ul>
&#8220;The issues we are facing are so much bigger than ‘Brandon.’ The frustration and anger we are feeling toward the failures of our current leadership in Washington is what motivated me to run,&#8221; McCormick told Fox News in an interview ahead of the ad&#8217;s release.
&#8220;Whether it’s not being able to afford gas or groceries because of record-high inflation, rampant crime in our cities, a dramatic spike in the trafficking of fentanyl and human exploitation across open borders, or the disgraceful lack of accountability for the death of 13 young service members in Afghanistan — these problems were self-inflicted by Joe Biden and the extreme policies of the Left. Pennsylvanians have had enough,&#8221; McCormick, a Gulf War combat veteran, continued.
The phrase &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon&#8221; took the internet by storm after an NBC reporter — whether intentionally or by mistake — claimed that a crowd of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/mike-rowe-details-real-meaning-of-clever-lets-go-brandon-chant-admits-what-makes-him-want-to-say-it/">Nascar fans were cheering</a> on race winner Brandon Brown when they were, in fact, chanting, &#8220;F*** Joe Biden.&#8221;
In the weeks that followed, the phrase &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon&#8221; quickly gained wide acceptance as a euphemism for the more profane &#8220;f*** Joe Biden&#8221; — and loud chants became commonplace everywhere from college football stadiums to the side of the road as the president and his motorcade passed by.
One frustrated father even said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon&#8221; to President Biden and first lady Jill Biden during a NORAD Santa-Tracker phone call.
Biden appeared to be caught off guard by the comment and responded, &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon, I agree.&#8221;

‘Let’s Go, Brandon’: Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Hits Biden With Super Bowl Ad

A Loudoun County dad whose &#8220;Figure it out&#8221; speech at a school board meeting went viral in 2021 announced on Wednesday that he is running for Congress.
Brandon Michon made the announcement on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; on Wednesday, saying he would run in the 10th District of Virginia.

&#8220;We&#8217;re going to let parents have their voice back,&#8221; Michon said.
&#8220;I&#8217;m so happy to be jumping in this race, so happy to represent so many people who may not have the same opportunity or be in a position to speak up. We just want to raise the bar,&#8221; he added.
Michon, whose first name is Brandon, also said he will be happy to hear the popular chant &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221; on the campaign trail. The phrase is even included in the images for his campaign website revealed on Twitter on Wednesday.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Michon became known as the &#8220;angry parent&#8221; at a January 2021 school board meeting where he told school board members they should be fired and challenged them to &#8220;figure it out.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
As a parent, this pandemic has brought forth some incredible challenges.

&#8220;You should all be fired from your day jobs, because if your employers knew that you were more inefficient than the DMV, you would be replaced in a heartbeat. I literally just finished a conference call because I&#8217;m having to multitask to be here to address you guys. You&#8217;re a bunch of cowards hiding behind our children as an excuse for keeping schools closed,&#8221; Michon said.
&#8220;You think you&#8217;re some sort of martyrs because of the decisions you&#8217;re making when the statistics do not lie that the vast majority of the population is not at risk from this virus. The garbage workers who pick up my freaking trash risk their lives every day more than anyone in this school system! Figure it out! Or get off the podium! Because you know what? There are people like me and a line of other people out there who will gladly take your seat and figure it out! It&#8217;s not a high bar! Raise the freaking bar!&#8221; he added.
The emotional speech led to many interview opportunities and spread quickly through media and online.
Public education also became a key part of Virginia&#8217;s election for governor in 2021. Republican Glenn Youngkin won in part due to his strong emphasis on restoring education rights to parents.
Youngkin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/governor-youngkin-signs-11-orders-on-day-one-in-office-includes-crt-ban-investigating-loudoun-county-officials">signed his first executive order</a> just hours after taking office on January 15, promising “to restore excellence in education by ending the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory” in public schools.
The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/glenn-youngkin-outlines-his-plan-to-make-virginias-education-system-number-one-in-nation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Youngkin&#8217;s plans to restore excellence to education:
<blockquote>WMAL interviewed Youngkin Tuesday morning and asked him directly what his plans were for making his first executive order a reality.
“We have instructed the secretary of education and our state’s superintendent of public schools, to go to work and evaluate raising standards,” Youngkin told the hosts. “We are right now, ranked roughly 50th in the nation when it comes to standards, and I challenged everyone that by the time that we’re done together, over this next four years, to be number one.”
“So it’s going to be a systematic process to raise those standards again,” he continued. “Oh, by the way, it was a process that was undertaken by unelected bureaucrats who did this to Virginia. And we are going to go back and turn it around and I have absolutely instructed our education department to get it done.”

‘Let’s Go Brandon!’: Loudoun County ‘Figure It Out’ Dad Running For Congress

Education

Virginia

Conservative musician Kid Rock slammed Democrat President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, big tech companies, and the mainstream media in a new song that he released this week titled, &#8220;We The People.&#8221;
&#8220;The 51-year-old performer has been a vocal supporter of former President Trump,&#8221; The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/591264-kid-rock-releases-anti-biden-anti-fauci-single-with-a-lets-go">reported</a>. &#8220;In 2017, he posed for photos in the Oval Office with Trump alongside 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and singer Ted Nugent.&#8221;
The song features a decent amount of profanity as Kid Rock, including saying, &#8220;f*** Fauci,&#8221; and having &#8220;Let&#8217;s go, Brandon&#8221; featured in the chorus of the song.
Calling Biden “Brandon” comes from the popular anti-Biden slogan “Let’s Go, Brandon.” The slogan started in October at a NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama when NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast was interviewing driver Brandon Brown after he won the race.
As Stavast interviewed Brown, “F*** Joe Biden” chants broke out in the stands, but Stavast claimed that they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon.”
The “Let’s Go, Brandon” slogan has since become code for “F*** Joe Biden” and is commonly used at sporting events and various other locations.

Kid Rock Torches Fauci, Biden In New Anti-Biden Song That Features ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Chorus

Kid Rock

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Democrat President Joe Biden in remarks this week during an interview, saying that there were a lot of problems around the country with &#8220;Brandon,&#8221; a name used to mock Biden, in office.
&#8220;All the problems you see with our country, and there&#8217;s a huge amount of problems with Brandon in the White House,&#8221; DeSantis <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-rips-biden-brandon-white-house-not-good-year">said</a>. &#8220;I mean look, the guy is not clicking on all cylinders, he&#8217;s not had a very good year.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re still strong in the state of Florida. We&#8217;re beating Brandon in Florida,&#8221; DeSantis added. &#8220;When I got elected, there were about 300,000 more registered Democrats in Florida than Republicans. Well now, for the first time in history, we have more Republicans than Democrats, and we&#8217;re gaining more and more every single month.&#8221;
Calling Biden &#8220;Brandon&#8221; comes from the popular anti-Biden slogan &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go, Brandon.&#8221; The slogan started in October at a NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama when NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast was interviewing driver Brandon Brown after he won the race.
As Stavast interviewed Brown, “F*** Joe Biden” chants broke out in the stands, but Stavast claimed that they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon.”
The “Let’s Go, Brandon” slogan has since become code for “F*** Joe Biden” and is commonly used at sporting events and various other locations.
DeSantis&#8217; remarks come as new <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3831">polling</a> released this week by Quinnipiac University, a left-of-center mainstream poll, found that Biden’s approval rating had collapsed to 33%, which included a staggeringly low 28% approval rating from Hispanics. The poll also found that 70% of Americans said that the economy was not in good shape.
“In the two months since signing the $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law, President Biden has by almost every measure bombed big time on the things that matter most,” Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/biden-agenda-failure-democrats-47947ce1-91b8-45e0-952f-4598fbda1789.html">reported</a>. “It’s rare for a president to be at odds with Republicans, moderate Democrats and liberal Democrats — all at once. But that’s where Biden finds himself at the start of an election year that many Democrats believe will result in the loss of the House and maybe the Senate.”
Among the problems the Biden administration is facing, in addition to the low approval ratings, are anger from far-left activists, Biden&#8217;s vaccine mandate on businesses being blocked, disastrous foreign policy decisions, skyrocketing inflation, and supply chain issues.
Larry Summers, who served as Treasury Secretary under former President Bill Clinton and director of the National Economic Council under former President Barack Obama, warned this week that inflation was becoming an &#8220;entrenched&#8221; problem.
“I think the data flow is saying what I’ve thought for quite some time that, yes, there are transitory elements in inflation, and very likely they will recede, but we are basically moving towards higher entrenched inflation,” Summers <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-obama-economist-delivers-stark-warning-about-what-is-happening-with-inflation">said</a>. “It’s there in expectations, it’s there in wages, it’s there in labor shortages, it’s there in the pervasive pattern across many different prices.”
“We have a massive, overheated labor market,” Summers continued. “We have the highest ratio of vacancies to unemployment in the country’s history, by a large margin. We have shortages of labor, in everything from psychotherapy, to McDonalds, in everything from investment analysts to gardeners, that suggests a surfeit of purchasing power and demand relative to the capacity of the economy to produce and unless we bring those things into balance, we’re going to have not just higher inflation, but possibly even accelerating inflation. And we need to recognize that we have an overheated economy that we are going to need to cool off.”

DeSantis Shreds Biden: ‘There’s A Huge Amount Of Problems’ In U.S. ‘With Brandon In The White House’

NASCAR&#8217;s ban on driver Brandon Brown&#8217;s car design of a sponsorship with “Let’s Go Brandon”-inspired cryptocurrency meme coin LGBcoin is not stopping the partnership.
Brown is still signing with LGBcoin in a reported &#8220;eight figure,&#8221; two-year deal, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/brandon-brown-lgbcoin-sponsorship-nascar-ban">according</a> to Fox Business, though the driver has been barred from displaying the sponsor on his car.
&#8220;The exact dollar amount of the deal was not announced, but LGBcoin said Brown is now a &#8216;holder&#8217; of the currency and his spokesperson confirmed to Fox Business that he is being paid in &#8216;both cash and coin,'&#8221; Fox Business detailed, adding, &#8220;Brown will participate in events, videos, conferences and other activities promoting the product through 2023.&#8221;
&#8220;I’m working to achieve my own American dream,&#8221; the driver said in a press release. &#8220;I’m humbled and thankful for LGBcoin.io’s reaffirmed support for my professional journey and their commitment to maintain a patriotic message.&#8221;
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nascar-bans-brandon-browns-lets-go-brandon-sponsorship-over-politics">highlighted</a>, NASCAR earlier this month rejected Brown’s sponsorship with LGBcoin, due to the popular saying being a slight against President Joe Biden.
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/01/04/lgbcoin-lets-go-brandon-nascar-rejected/">According</a> to The Washington Post, a NASCAR official said the organization “made clear during a November discussion about the potential sponsorship that it would not allow any reference or imagery based on the chant.”
The chant, notably, is a knock against Biden and the media. “Let’s go Brandon” went viral last year after Brown won a race and a reporter claimed fans were cheering “Let’s go Brandon,” though they were clearly chanting “F*** Joe Biden.”
“NASCAR &#8230; decided against approving a sponsorship based on the anti-President Biden slogan ‘Let’s go, Brandon,’ according to a NASCAR official with direct knowledge of the deliberations,” the Post report said.
The official told the Post that “NASCAR’s formal decision was not a reversal … but the governing body’s first and final word on the matter.”
“The misunderstanding over the sponsorship thrust NASCAR into an unwelcome political spotlight for several days,” the Post report said. “While segments of stock-car racing fans relished the prospect of cheering a car emblazoned with an insult of the president, such messaging would have run counter to NASCAR’s efforts to the sport from being used as a backdrop for partisan politics and divisive imagery.”
Notably, NASCAR President Steve Phelps said the organization’s association with the “Let’s go Brandon” chant is “unfortunate.”
Meanwhile, Brown’s spokesman Maxwell Marcucci <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/nascar-walks-back-lets-go-brandon-sponsorship-approval-brandon-brown-spokesperson-says">said</a> Brandonbilt Motorsports received explicit approval of the LGBcoin sponsorship on December 26.
“We received written approval on the sponsors from a NASCAR Racing Operations official on December 26, 2021,” Marcucci said in a statement. “The team subsequently moved forward with an announcement only after being provided with this approval.”
“The sponsor approval was unambiguous — the first four words of the email from NASCAR state, ‘The sponsors are approved,’” the statement read. “The only feedback offered was related to minor graphic design changes to ensure legibility on the track at 170mph.”
NASCAR’s position now is that Brown was given approval by an employee who did not have authorization to do so.

NASCAR Ban Doesn’t Stop Brandon Brown From Teaming Up With ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Sponsor In Massive Deal

American Airlines (AA) is apologizing after a passenger sparked a firestorm over a pilot who had a &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221; sticker on his bag.
The pilot, whom the airline did not identify, is now under investigation.
Dana Finley Morrison, a Missouri-based fraternity and sorority worker, was flying from St. Lucia to Miami on Saturday when she saw the sticker and posted on social media. She directed her post to the airline and said, noting the “cowardly rhetoric on their crew luggage when they’re in uniform.”
“We are not the only passengers who noticed and were disgusted,” Morrison wrote, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/01/10/american-airlines-apologizes-about-pilot-with-lets-go-brandon-sticker/">according</a> to the New York Post.
The official Twitter account of AA responded, tweeting, “Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we want to get this to the right team. Please DM any additional details.”
<blockquote>The user went on to post what she claimed were direct messages with representatives for the airline, who assured her that her complaints had been forwarded to the proper authorities for internal review.
“We take this very seriously and have sent this over to crew leadership,” AA said in response to a direct message from the Twitter user who accused the pilot of displaying political propaganda supporting insurrection against the US government. “They will handle this internally after review. We assure you appropriate internal review will occur.”</blockquote>
The airline&#8217;s kowtow drew scorn on Twitter.
“This pilot deserves a raise for dealing with entitled Karens while doing his job,” tweeted Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. &#8220;Don’t fire your pilots for being conservative or criticizing Biden. We won’t have any pilots left. As if the thousands of flight cancellations aren’t enough already. @AmericanAir do the right thing.”

The phrase was born when NASCAR driver Brandon Brown, 28, won a race on October 2, and NBC sports reporter Kelli Stavast confused the crowd jeering “F*** Joe Biden” for “Let’s Go Brandon!”
After President Joe Biden was hit with the phrase on a Christmas eve call to parents and children, NBC News dubbed it a “right-wing slur.” “President Joe Biden was subjected to a right-wing anti-Biden slur during a Christmas Eve call with NORAD’s Santa tracker,” the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/parent-uses-right-wing-slur-during-biden-call-norad-santa-n1286595">network said</a> in a story posted online.
“Biden and the first lady were speaking with families around the country who had called into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to receive an update on Santa’s location when one parent ended the conversation by saying: ‘Let’s go Brandon.’ The president did not appear to recognize that the phrase is used by the right wing as a euphemism for ‘F*** Joe Biden,’ and responded: ‘Let’s go Brandon, I agree.’”
Brown says he’s not political and he just wants the whole thing to go away.
“It got extremely difficult for us,” Brown <a href="https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2021/12/23/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/Brandon-Brown.aspx">told</a> Sports Business Journal. “If you’re a national corporation, that means you sell to all consumers … and unfortunately, when you get dragged into the political arena, people want you to take a side.”
“I’ve never been put in a position where it’s, ‘OK, what side are you on? Left or right?’ So it’s hard for a brand to want to attach to somebody who might be kind of divisive in their consumer base. If I’m going to divide Coca-Cola, why would they want to talk to me?” he said.
