Michael Reynolds/Pool via AP In a blistering letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, four members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights demanded action on skyrocketing crime rates in America’s cities. The letter asks Garland to direct the Department of Justice to investigate the causes of the increase in crime, and to direct U.S. Attorneys to escalate their federal prosecutions. “It is particularly important,” they wrote, “that U.S. Attorneys increase prosecutions in cities where local prosecutors have declared their reluctance to prosecute crime. “
The letter, copied to all 50 state attorneys general, was signed by the four non-Democrat members of the Commission—Peter Kirsanow, J. Christian Adams, Gail Heriot, and Stephen Gilchrist. Currently, eight of the nine commissioner positions are filled, with the vice-chair position vacant. Four are listed with Democratic political affiliations, three as Republican, and one as an Independent. The letter notes that rising violent crime and property crime disproportionately affect citizens in the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum, and should warrant civil rights concerns.

It says, in part: We are concerned. Americans in general are concerned. But too many of our elites seem not to be concerned. Perhaps insulated from the destruction of crime, they may be apathetic about the plight of their fellow citizens or mistakenly believe that the police are a greater threat to minority communities than are criminals. Even some of our colleagues at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights approach the increase in crime with similar sentiments, despite their leadership in a federal agency whose mission is “to inform the development of national civil rights policy and enhance enforcement of federal civil rights laws.” The letter is extensively footnoted and is worth reading […]
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.
