    Tristian Justice was able to to use the method of compare and contrast to emphasize the fraud of the BLM organization. Tristian mentioned that they:
     
    -  Found that the BLM organization had no firm leadership ever since Patrisse Marie Khan-Cullors Brignac left.
    - Patrisse Marie founder of BLM was funneling money to LA prison reforms.
    - Its executive director, had spent $3.2 million on real estate across the United States.
    -The BLM provided the “bulk of funding” for a more than $8 million cash purchase of a Toronto mansion, raising more frustration among followers over its finances.
    -According to a Washington Examiner investigation, the address listed on the organization’s tax forms is wrong, and its two remaining board members refused to say who was managing its $60 million bankroll.
    - With the BLM money bought a 3.2 million real estate property.

    Although BLM denied the allegations of Cullors spending BLM funds on her personal properties, it still remains unclear how much money actually found its way into the hands of the people BLM claims to support.
    Tristians contrast to support his argument remains in evidence of lost money in small businesses due to the protest of mandated vaccines. Hall’s vaccine requirement for dining is costing its businesses up to $15,000 a week.


    Rhetorical strategy: Tristian Justice was able to use the rhetorical  strategy, compare and contrasts, to enlighten funders of BLM where their money is going.

Through a cascade of environmental regulation.

    Tristian Justice uses the method process analysis to clarify the raise of gas prices logically, through charts, the administration filed an appeal document (included in the article), and Biden tweets on twitter. 

    - The key stone pipe line used to run gas to the US to Canada was cut off because of environmental reform Biden is trying to take. 
    - “When the Biden administration swears they are not responsible for skyrocketing gas prices, remind them of this filing.”  (Behrens)
    - The gas spike according to the chart provided in article as a link, started in 2021

    Although the war does contribute to the spike of gas prices, that was not the main cause nor reason of the initial spike.

    The method used in this article is exemplification through documents published on twitter, link to article which shows  troops kicked out or refusing the Covid-19 vaccine, and mentions and includes the countries who are not mandating it.

    Twitter:
    -He used a quote spoken by Utah Sen. Mike Lee "these COVID-19 vaccine mandates amount to a serious abuse of both federal power and executive authority. They also further strain the economic and social pressures our society currently faces, while completely ignoring existing evidence-based data on natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection”
    -“Multiple studies have shown that viral load in vaccinated individuals with COVID-19 is the same as in the unvaccinated (Lee).” 

    Studies Of the COVID VIRs:

    -"Vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals have similar viral loads in communities with a high prevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant"(medrxiv)

    - Tristian then mentions in a single standza and sentence that "the Biden administration, however, has kept its mandates in place." 

    Tristian provides the link of the studies proven by Yale scholars and scientists that the for both vaccinated and unvaccinated can pass the virus and both prone to it.

    What are other countries doing with the vaccine?

    -Tristian provided links to each Israel and provides his readers with the information and stats in the specific country he mentions: Israel was the first country on Earth to fully vaccinate a majority of its citizens against COVID-19. Now it has one of the world's highest daily infection rates

    Tristian is able to provides a link to every claim made back up his statement. The only fault is, is the reader really going to press the link and read those articles?

As I was scrolling through his twitter he reposted Tik Tok that was talking about the “reason why gas prices are up” and he is just enlightening his audience to the other or true reason. False or censored information is his tick and his goal is to shine light to the truth.
