AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, Pool One of my AB5 coalition friends tagged me in this tweet series by a woman going by Mary K. Anstruther, PhD (she/her).
On first blush, it appears to be a poorly crafted parody account, ala Titania McGrath , but less snarky nuance and more bumbling sledgehammer.
Here’s how her thread started: I want to get the black community fully vaccinated. It’s time for @KFC, @Popeyes and @ChurchsChicken to step up to the plate and offer pop-up vaccine clinics at their restaurants. Assign a trusted employee to administer them. We need to get this virus back under control. Her first mistake: Making the assumption that the virus was ever under control in the first place. Instead of leaving it there, Dr. Anstruther poured more milk on her bowl of stupid: Anyone who takes this suggestion as a racist is a racist. If hesitant people are given the opportunity to take the vaccine at institutions they trust, they are more likely to take the vaccine. If while ordering chicken, they are offered the shot, they may say “Why not?” “institutions they trust”? These are friggin’ fast food restaurants that serve junk chicken! The only thing we trust is that we’ll get some quick carbs and more grease per pound. The fact that she even phrased it this way shows she probably doesn’t know any Black people, and probably never engaged one in conversation. These restaurants are accessible to the communities and are trusted. They are strategically placed in places where pharmacies might not be. They are gathering spots, points of commerce and able to be reached easily by public transit. But call me racist for wanting to help! FU! Uh. Oh. She went there. Seems Dr. Anstruther’s reading her Ibrahim X. Kendi like a good little anti-racist.
The reactions were, as expected, with cries of racism, insults, etc. Dr. Anstruther deleted the above tweets and started over again, pretty much doubling down on her recommendations.
Why, one might ask? Because the clicks and outrage must be addicting. However, whether parody or real (I seriously doubt this is a real person), Dr. […]

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.
