Kabuki for the cameras. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on a raft of gun control proposals, narrowly passing them all, mostly along party lines . Anyone with any knowledge of the U.S. political system knows that these bills will be effectively dead on arrival in the Senate, and have just about zero chance of becoming law. Well, most of them.
While the reasons for passing these bills are complex, the main motivation is that Democrats, who narrowly control the House, want something they can take home and use in a re-election fight this year. So, if you think about it, the whole thing was an exercise on virtue signaling meant to gather support from people who largely already agree with these policies. None of this was meant to make any real impact on “gun violence.”
Another thing Wednesday’s votes did was expose what the Democrat coalition really is. The Democrat party ostensibly stands for the social rights of women, racial minorities, the LGBT community, and other groups who historically didn’t get a fair shake. They like to tell us that they stand against things that would be harmful to those groups, and expect their votes in return. They want us to think that they’re utterly opposed to government policies and law enforcement actions that disproportionately affect marginalized groups. But gun control doesn’t fit that narrative. We don’t have to go all the way back to Jim Crow (the origin of most U.S. gun laws) to show that gun control hurts the very people Democrats claim they stand for. We can start with modern laws that are portrayed as “fair” on the surface. Take, for instance, the NICS background check system . . . I’m concerned the NICS background check for gun purchases produces a disproportionate […]

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.
