Just In…
Sociologists claim we can only know about 150 people well; from them, we derive our sense of community and family. The downside is that it means most of us live in positive feedback loops in which everyone we talk with mostly shares our same worldview. That can be deadly for politicians and political parties.
When Sen. Elizabeth Warren writes in the New York Times (as she did recently) that the reason Democrats are suffering in opinion polls is because they haven’t moved far enough or fast enough to the far Left, she illustrates the problem. Everything that the Massachusetts Democrat hears from her family, friends, colleagues, donors, and employees reinforces her ideological bias.
And she absolutely couldn’t be more wrong.
True believers have a blindness. They often cannot understand how anyone else could disagree with them. When they run across people who do, they tend to cast those differences in terms of moral shortcomings rather than disagreements of opinion. They become prisoners in their own echo chambers, lacking the dispassionate objectivity required to see beyond the horizon of their own ideologies. Worse, the consultants and pollsters they pay to maintain dispassion and objectivity either fall in line or end up excommunicated.
Incidentally, this is also why members of Twitter’s board can claim Elon Musk is an existential threat to free speech when he promises to lift their own constraints on free speech. They truly believe that free speech is speech that aligns with their version of reality. To the true believer, speech that doesn’t line up with their outlook isn’t free; it’s dangerous “misinformation.”
Given all this, it’s understandable, if not forgivable, that Warren advocates an even more radical lurch to the far Left as a way of enhancing the electoral prospects of the Democratic Party. Public officials elected from states or […]

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.
