In 2018, when even conservatives bought into the de-incarceration agenda of “criminal justice reform,” I lamented to crime expert Heather Mac Donald in a conversation, “What are we going to do about the tsunami of jailbreak bills enjoying bipartisan support?” “It’s going to have to get worse before it gets better,” she replied. “The country has forgotten what it was like before the Giuliani days of tough-on-crime policies, and they will need a reminder.” Well, it appears that the people have now gotten a stark reminder of what ubiquitous crime looks like. The question is whether Republican politicians have finally learned their lesson.
After San Francisco voters tossed out pro-criminal Soros DA Chesa Boudin in a stunning recall election last month, it appears that Los Angeles voters are ready for a repeat performance against DA George Gascón. After turning San Francisco into the needle and homeless capital of the country during his stint as DA last decade, Gascon took his criminal road show down south to L.A. in 2020 and promised “the lowest level of intervention for the criminal justice system” if elected. Well, he did not disappoint. He did to L.A. what Boudin did to San Francisco, as crime skyrocketed commensurate with this criminal release policies. Now he appears to be suffering the same fate as his San Franciscan comrade.
On Monday, the organizers of the recall campaign against Gascon turned in to the Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office 715,833 signatures for the recall petition. In order to trigger a recall election, 566,857 valid signatures are required, so the campaign looks like it was a smashing success. The clerk’s office has until August 17 to certify the petitions, and then the recall election will likely be held concurrent with the general election in November.

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.
