It’s day 119 of coronavirus isolation, and the virus is doing everything it can to turn the tide of this war.

After more than three months of quarantine, it felt like the war had been won. It felt like life was returning to normal. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Bars were opening up, college football was on a path to return, friends were getting together for beers again and life seemed like it was going well.

Then, all hell broke loose. It’s July 10 and we’re on the brink of utter collapse when it comes to the world of football.

I went from being extremely optimistic back in May to having next to no optimism left. It’s been a horrific past five weeks.

Football program after football program has been hammered, the Big 10 has canceled non-conference games and it’s believed other conferences will soon do the same. It’s an utter disaster.

We’ve now entered the Battle of the Bulge phase of the war against coronavirus. For those of you who don’t know, the Battle of the Bulge was a counterattack launched by the Germans after the Allied forces beat the living hell out of them on D-Day.

Ultimately, the outcome of the war didn’t change at all. We still won WWII, but it did slow things down and hit morale hard.

That’s where we are right now. The coronavirus is doing everything it can to try to stop our inevitable victory, and it’s doing a hell of a job disrupting our society.

A month ago, things were going smooth. Now things are terrible.

We need to buckle down and remind the virus that we’re Americans. We don’t lose to anyone. Space was supposed to stop people from going to the moon, and we literally just decided to shoot a rocket up there anyways because we were bored during the Cold War.

We don’t slow down for anything.

So, coronavirus has won a few victories lately, but I fully believe our victory is inevitable. Stay strong, folks!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
