Hired by American voters to conquer COVID-19, President Joe Biden is being humbled in ways big and small as the pandemic roars into a third year fueled by the highly contagious Omicron variant.
Criticisms of Biden are mounting on both sides of the political aisle as critics question both a lower than expected supply of at-home test kits and the president’s sudden declaration Monday that there won’t be a federal solution to COVID-19.
“This is not what he campaigned on. At all,” former Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh tweeted.
Added former Hillary Clinton adviser and liberal activist Peter Daou: “NEWS: Biden gives up.”
That news only got worse Tuesday when the Centers for Disease Control of Prevention announced the United States set a single-day record for new COVID-19 infections, with 441,278. The tally smashed the previous high of 294,015 set last January, before vaccines were widely available.
The 46th president hasn’t given up, but he has changed his messaging, suggesting states are better equipped than the feds to deal with the current Omicron surge.
And with his vaccine mandates sidelined by court challenges, Biden is also banking on his ambitious new plan to mail 500 million free at-home COVID tests to Americans’ homes in January.
However, there’s a nationwide shortage of at-home tests now, critics note.States like Ohio and New Hampshire, which gave out free at-home COVID tests, ran out within hours, NPR reported . The Philadelphia Department of Public Health canceled a rapid test giveaway last week after running out at previous giveaways, according to WHYY. Pharmacies across the nation are also short on supply of at-home tests. Biden told ABC’s David Muir in an interview that aired last Wednesday that he didn’t believe the shortage of tests was “a failure” of his administration.”I don’t think it’s a failure,” he said. “You could argue […]
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.
