Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said Congress will use the power of the purse if Republicans are in control to fight the “woke” culture in the U.S. military and monitor expenditures in the defense budget.
She discussed plans to “de-wokeify the U.S. military” on the John Solomon Reports podcast Tuesday, one day after Judicial Watch published hundreds of pages about critical race theory (CRT) being taught at West Point. The Washington Free Beacon also reported Monday that the U.S. Navy is training service members on using the correct pronouns.
Last week, Senate Democrats blocked two proposals Blackburn introduced to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act. One measure would have required the Department of Defense to inform parents of students in DoD schools about any changes in their child’s mental, physical or emotional health. Service members on the other side of the world have been kept in the dark about major health decisions relating to their children in DOD schools, Blackburn said, adding, “It is inappropriate. Parents should be informed.”
Blackburn’s other failed proposal would have encouraged the military to stay focused on lethal threats rather than social justice initiatives.
“Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, they’re basically your new ‘Axis of Evil,'” she told Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon.
“Our adversaries, they don’t give a ripping flip about classes on choosing pronouns, or how woke the US military is. The US military is there to protect this country. It is there to learn how to fight, to fight wars and to win. That is their job,” she later explained.
Her comments come as nearly half of all Americans are expressing deep concerns for the country’s future. In a Yahoo News/YouGov poll released last week, 49% of respondents said it is likely America will no longer be a Democracy in the future.

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 new GiveSendGo. 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
- Truth Based Media
- 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.
