AP Photo/John Locher “This week, we’ve witnessed a total collapse of diplomacy,” former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell told CPAC on Friday in a speech that pulled no punches against the Biden administration for its weakness and failed policies.
“D.C. newsrooms won’t say it, but American diplomats have failed,” he said, “President Biden told us that he was going to bring diplomacy back; instead, it’s on its back.”
“We desperately need new, creative, visionary, diplomacy, muscular diplomacy, to secure meaningful peace when a conflict arises,” Grenell added, before contrasting the weakness of the Biden administration compared to the “muscular diplomacy” of the Trump administration.
“Last summer, we watched helplessly as our credibility, our deterrence, and our national honor crumbled,” he began, in reference to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. He noted that Trump and Biden both had the same ultimate goal of withdrawal, but that President Trump “had an unapologetic pro-American diplomacy with a credible military option behind him.”
“It’s clear that the Taliban respected and feared President Trump,” Grenell explained. “He sought to withdraw on his terms, leaving a delicate but viable order behind while reading the situation on the ground and adjusting his plans when necessary.”
“Meanwhile, Joe Biden constantly radiated evocative weakness, announcing an arbitrary pullout date for a 9/11 anniversary photo op, and squandering all his leverage that he pulled our military forces prematurely, exposing our embassy diplomats and American citizens to mortal danger.”
Grenell then mocked the Biden administration, calling it the “Obama Third Term Crew” for leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan.
“This Obama Third Term Crew left hundreds of US citizens behind. And what did they say when honest voices called them out? They bragged that they brought 90% home,” he said. “Bringing 90% home means you left 10% behind. It was irresponsible. It was immoral. And it […]
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.
