Please respect our republishing guidelines – Click Here One of the cardinal rules in responding effectively to insults is to never repeat a charge when denying it. If someone calls you a sexual predator, he is just waiting for you to say, “I am not a sexual predator.” The very restatement of the charge by the accused adds weight to the accusation, no matter its veracity. This is particularly true in politics , a realm where perception becomes reality. And in an age when every word stated by a politician is run through the wringer of social media critique, it sends the message that there must be something to it, or else you would have simply laughed it off – instead of choosing to repeat and deny it.
There were two particularly infamous instances of repeating charges that came back to haunt the politicians who uttered them. Christine O’Donnell, running for the U.S. Senate in Delaware in 2012, tried to dispel wild rumors from her opponent that she was a witch by running an ad in which she declared, “I am not a witch.” She lost badly. More famously, President Richard Nixon actually set up and knocked down his own straw man as Watergate was closing in on him, saying, “people have got to know whether their president is a crook,” and then presenting a sound bite for the ages, repeated millions of times since: “I am not a crook.” He resigned shortly thereafter. For more than two years now, ever since he initiated his third run for the White House, it appeared obvious to many if not most that Joe Biden is not the same man with whom the country had become familiar over his lifetime in Washington. It was hard to miss the signs. He was moving tentatively and talking slower. He was more forgetful, quicker to anger, and often seemed confused. And so the whispers began. Is this man who wants to be president no longer firing on all cylinders? Is he in the early stages of dementia? Is he senile? You can’t make a diagnosis based […]

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.
