AP Photo/Matt York The Washington Examiner , citing reports from the Center Square , has a piece up today detailing that 20 states — including some very blue states like Oregon — have deployed military troops to the Southern border since Joe Biden took office. The Defense Department requested 2,500 National Guard members from states earlier this summer to help federal law enforcement with detecting human and drug smuggling operations. Both Democratic- and Republican-governed states have signed on to the border security mission. To date, states sending troops include Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, and South Carolina, according to the Center Square. … In addition, the U.S. Virgin Islands and seven states — Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Washington — agreed to send aviation support. Despite the progressive-friendly media’s attempts to cancel use of the word “invasion” when covering the border crisis , the policy response from DoD looks an awful lot like they think it might be time to treat “the surge” (one of the preferred media euphemisms) as one. This is especially true when considering the use of air cover from reliably blue states. From The Examiner : The Oregon Army National Guard agreed to send UH-72A Lakotas and helicopter crews to work with the U.S. Border Patrol, which is responsible for arresting noncitizens who attempt to enter the country illegally. “The mission will not be easy,” Chief Warrant Officer Dave Long told the East Oregonian . “We will fly each night. Our mission is to stop fentanyl, meth, and other illicit drugs from crossing the border and, additionally, to stop human trafficking and provide humanitarian aid to those in need.

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.
