There are three primary factors affecting delivery of email, which may explain why your subscription is not reaching your inbox.

First, the most likely reason you are not receiving your subscription is that your Email Service Provider (ESP) is filtering your email. ESPs use various methods to filter spam, and many of them mistakenly treat The Patriot Post as spam. While we can ensure we send each edition to you, we cannot guarantee your ESP will deliver it to your inbox.

Please visit your ESP’s website and find a customer support phone number or email address. Lodge a formal complaint — tell them that you are a subscriber to a publication “from the domain patriotpost.us” and you expect them to deliver The Patriot Post to your email account. Advise your ESP that “subscriptions to The Patriot Post are by confirmed (opt-in) approval only,” and that “The Patriot Post is not unsolicited commercial email as defined by federal law.” Furthermore, unsubscribe instructions are clearly posted in every email.

Second, you may have inadvertently marked The Patriot Post as “spam” in your email client, or your provider may be placing our editions directly into your spam folder. Some providers also filter content into other folders like “Promotions.” Please check all of your folders for any missing content. If found, mark the emails as “not spam” and move any content to your inbox.

Third, add our sending address, publishing@mail.patriotpost.us, and the address our team replies from, advancement@patriotpost.us, to your contacts or “safe senders” list. Providers rarely filter mail from a sender in your address book, and whitelisting them will help ensure delivery.

Additionally, if you are using a corporate email address, your employer may be blocking mail. That is their prerogative, and you may want to discuss this with your IT director, or have The Patriot Post sent to a private email address. You can change your email address by visiting the subscription management page.

If after taking the above steps you continue to have problems receiving The Patriot Post via email, please fill out this questionnaire so that we may investigate. In the meantime, don’t forget that all our content is posted on our website at patriotpost.us.

When Mark Alexander launched The Patriot Post in 1996, he decided to adopt a donor-support model in order to provide our publications and services to military personnel, students, and those in the mission field without requiring a subscription fee.

However, we do not have a 501(c)(3) tax exemption to prevent the IRS from imposing limits on the editorial content of our publications — which would hinder our mission. Nor do we accept commercial ads in order to prevent advertisers from influencing our editorial content — which, unfortunately, they do with virtually every other publication.

Thus, we operate more like a 501(c)(4) or PAC, which is to say we are not able to provide you a tax deduction for your donation to The Patriot Annual Fund, unless your support qualifies as a professional or business expense.

Supporting The Patriot Post’s mission and operation budgets is the most cost-effective way to promote Liberty across the nation.

We also operate Patriot Foundation Trust, which is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with the primary mission of providing program and academic grants to foster the proper understanding of our Republic’s First Principles — Liberty and Constitutional Rule of Law over the rule of men. For more information about supporting Patriot Foundation Trust now, or through estate planning, please contact the Trust Administrator at Administrator@PatriotFoundationTrust.org.

The Patriot Post will not release any information on our users or subscribers to any third party under any circumstances, nor do we accept any third-party advertising to our lists.

We rely on reputable sources and never utilize or cite sensationalist “click bait news” that too often infests the pages of both Left and Right news sites — the editorial rubbish and “fake news” that is driven by market share and advertising revenues on which commercial websites depend. Likewise, we avoid the ubiquitous churn of mainstream media spin cycle topics, which now make up most of the MSM’s relentless 24/7 content.

Our editorial policy is simple: The Patriot Post is written, edited, and accountable to human judgment — not machines. We use emerging tools where they help us better serve readers, but we will not outsource our editorial voice, constitutional analysis, or moral responsibility to artificial intelligence. Our AI policy is therefore built to do three things: protect editorial integrity, preserve strategic flexibility, and make our practices clear to readers. See more at Our AI Policy.

We are a certified “Ad Free” website. We do not accept advertising to ensure our advocacy and editorial content are not constrained by commercial influence — as is the case with mass-media news outlets. Thus, you will note our website and publications are free of advertising clutter.

Corrections and clarifications are noted at the bottom of any content where corrections and clarifications are required. We note “Updated” when there are substantive changes, or when factual errors are corrected within news analysis reports. In most instances with substantive corrections, we will note the correction in the update notice. If you note an error or omission, please contact us.

We removed comments on articles due to liability and privacy concerns because we don’t have full control over that platform. We realize that the Disqus platform has become a venue for thoughtful and spirited debate among some of our readers, and we regret the circumstances that have made this decision necessary. However, at the bottom of every article, the “Comment” button will now take you to a page where you have the option to leave a comment for consideration in our “Reader Comments” section, which now appears on our homepage and in email editions. Keep it civil, thoughtful, and short, as our editors will select the best comments for publication.

Regarding the Latin and Greek used in our publications:

Our Latin motto is Veritas vos Liberabit (WAIR-ih-tahss wohss lee-beh-RAH-bit) — The truth will make you free. The origin is John 8:31-32, Jesus speaking, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”)

Pro Deo et Libertate — 1776
(For God and Liberty — 1776)

Semper Vigilans Fortis Paratus et Fidelis
(Always Vigilant, Strong, Prepared and Faithful)

Pro Deo et Constitutione — Libertas aut Mors
(For God and Constitution — Liberty or Death)

Fidelis Deo et Patriaeque
(Faithful to God and Country)

Si vis Pacem, Para Bellum
(If you want peace, prepare for war)

De Oppresso Liber
(To liberate the oppressed)

Lex et Libertas
(Law and Liberty)

IChThUS Imprimis — IChThUS is the Greek spelling for “fish” and one noted symbol of early Christendom as Jesus called on his disciples to be “fishers of men.” In the early church, when believers were being sought and persecuted, a secret method for determining if a stranger was a fellow believer was to draw a crescent shape in the sand. If the stranger drew the inverse of that crescent shape, completing the IChThUS symbol, he was a fellow believer.

IChThUS forms the Greek acronym: Iota Chi (Jesus Christ) Theta Upsilon (Son of God) Sigma (Savior).

Imprimis means Foremost.
