President Donald Trump actually packed a lot into the final year of his term. He did what he could to root out critical race theory-based training from federal agencies (something President Joe Biden immediately reversed) and announced the “1776 Project,” a direct challenge to the “1619 Project” that had worked its way from the New York Times into the history curriculum of a lot of school districts. Trump wanted children to be proud of their country and proposed an alternative curriculum to do just that.
Bulwark columnist Amanda Carpenter spotted conservative columnist Ken Blackwell wearing a “1776” hat next to Brooke Rollins, and Carpenter broke out the red flags: Brooke Rollins is a Leader for America!
I have enjoyed working with her for
over 20 years! #AFPI pic.twitter.com/QgLxwChc6U— Ken Blackwell (@kenblackwell) August 19, 2022 AFPI is the America First Policy Institute. You know, America First … the line Trump borrowed from Hitler? Wearing 1776 hats for no other reason than love of US history, I’m sure. pic.twitter.com/HBzNQ383oM
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) August 19, 2022 Sure, sure. The AMERICA FIRST POLICY INSTITUTE, established in 2021, post-Jan. 6th, has absolutely no idea what they are doing with the 1776 messaging. A coinky-dink. They are in it for the history https://t.co/cdhbkiUG9q
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) August 20, 2022 A nonprofit promoting America First ideology — sounds like a group of insurrectionists to us. For a “35-person nonprofit group with a first-year budget of $20 million” you sure can buy a lotta hats!
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) August 20, 2022 Tell ya what. I’ll take it all back as soon as the 1776 hat people condemn all the January 6 folks who used and continue to use 1776 as a battle cry. But seems to me like they’d rather play that crowd. America First and all.

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.
