The events of January 6, 2021 was not a particularly egregious attack on democracy.
January 6 was exceptional because it flipped the norm in our politics on its head: compared to the lawless Left, the Right in this country is well-behaved, perhaps to a fault. Conservatives have shown extraordinary forbearance over the years all while having their faces rubbed in the mud by our political and cultural elites. When the Capitol protest turned to riot, the Right snapped. Frustration with a rigged game had reached a breaking-point.
At the forefront, of course, were grievances concerning the presidential election. Many, although not all, of the Capitol protesters’ grievances were perfectly legitimate. Election laws had been changed, or “fortified” as Time magazine would later boast, without going through proper legal channels. The people were denied, for the first time in the nation’s history, timely and transparent results.
While we have heard again and again that the election was “free and fair” (and anyone who disagrees is a Nazi, obviously), it was hardly normal for the media and “intelligence community” to quash a major scandal about a presidential candidate’s son at the 11th hour. The Hunter Biden story is only just beginning to receive a fraction of the attention it warrants.
What is the lesson here? That the people must acquiesce to having their elections interfered with by propaganda artists in the news media? Is that what “democracy” means?
What of the Black Lives Matter uprising of 2020? Was that just normal democracy stuff, too? The “mostly peaceful” riots have disappeared down the media’s memory hole, which is odd because they were much more extensive, longer lasting, and destructive to human lives and property than January 6. It’s easy to forget now, but the BLM rioters torched a police station . Sounds a little insurrection-y, no? Two […]
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.
