It’s hard to believe that this is my 300th post. I wrote my first article just over a year ago, June 6th, 2020 to be precise. I started writing because I got tired of seeing so much Liberal propaganda, lies and “fact checking” on social media, and very few people willing to push back on their bullshit.
Initially, I was posting on Facebook. But after Big Tech censorship ramped up big time, I created PonkaBlog and moved to my own servers. It gives me the freedom to say whatever I want without the threat of being “de-platformed”. So far, it has kept me out of Facebook Jail.
My goal is to help people think independently and not just blindly believe whatever their phone tells them to believe. I hope that’s what I’ve been able to do.
What I’ve Learned
People are still afraid to say what they think. I’ve received many private notes of encouragement from readers telling me that they don’t comment or share because they’re afraid of being attacked. While Conservatives are starting to push back, we still have a long way to go.
It’s really hard to get someone’s attention. With the hundreds of posts people see each day on their social media feeds, it’s easy for things to get lost in the spew. If you don’t want to miss anything, just sign up for my newsletter for the spam-free experience of having the articles sent directly to your inbox.
Shares and likes make a big difference. The more interactions a post has, the more exposure a post gets. I know that sounds like circular logic but it’s the way Big Tech’s algorithms work. Even just liking something helps ensure it’s seen by others.
Reader’s Favorites
There are two articles that seem to have hit home for many of my readers. By far the most popular the one about Mitch McConnel titled: “Who Owns Mitch McConnel?” I wrote that one on December 27th, a couple of weeks before his connections to China surfaced. Now that everyone knows Mitch is bent, the content is a little dated. It’s still amusing though.
The second most popular article is titled: “How NOT to Get Killed by the Police”. Interestingly, though probably not surprisingly, this was very popular in Minnesota. I published this one in April and it’s still relevant today. It will probably remain relevant for years to come.
Currently in 13th place, but moving up fast, is one from last week titled: “Kamala Crossing”. The article introduces a new street sign to help us identify people who trade sex for political power. It’s a bit risqué for some people so consider yourself warned.
My Favorites
It turns out that picking a few favorites from hundreds of posts is really hard to do. Some I like because of the message. Others I like because of how I said the message. And more than a few make me laugh every time I read them. So, here are a few that I like that are both timely and timeless. I think you’ll like them too.
