Jenny Durkan/AP Photo Last summer, amidst the riots following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis , major cities across the country chose to “ defund the police ” for the sake of what they perceive to be social justice.
The results have been disastrous .
Notably, Austin , Texas and Seattle have felt the effects of such a policy, Fox News reports.
Seattle cut its police department budget by 20 percent this year, allocating the funds instead to undefined “community groups.”
The cuts to the Seattle Police Department budget were far less than those called for by BLM and Antifa activists.
As a result, violent crime in Seattle has spiked .
Seattle was home to the “ autonomous zone ,” also called “CHOP” or “CHAZ.”

When Antifa and other leftists took over and occupied an entire block of the city of Seattle, Mayor Jenny Durkan called it a “block party,” and praised its members for bringing about a “ summer of love .”
Last weekend there were six more shootings in Seattle, and Durkan has now called for a reversal of the department-cutting budget that she signed last December.“As a city, we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers,” Durkan said at a press conference on Monday. “Over the past 17 months, the Seattle Police Department has lost 250 police officers which is the equivalent of over 300,000 service hours. We’re on path to losing 300 police officers.”Durkan has radically altered her view in light of the recent growth in crime, while still trying to appease her leftist constituency.“We are creating meaningful alternatives,” Durkan said of the “community groups” that were supposed to substitute for some policing.“But, as I said last year, the city has an obligation to still continue constitutional policing and respond to 911 calls,” she added.Like Seattle, Austin has seen a dramatic rise in violent crime following a similar police department budget cut.Last August, the Austin city council voted to slash millions of dollars from the Austin Police Department.As a result, the department has found itself vastly understaffed.“About 150 positions are vacant right now,” interim Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
