(AP Photo/Eric Gay, File) Former Alamo CEO Douglass McDonald addressed the Daughters of the Republic of Texas 2021 Annual Convention opening ceremony in San Antonio Thursday night. The DRT were the state’s custodians of the Alamo for more than a century and continue to lead in preserving the Lone Star State’s unique history.
McDonald struck many themes that have come up here and in other media recently as the once-massive, but recently scaled-back Alamo renovation and preservation plan moves forward. Here are a few excerpts. I am not a Texan….however I care greatly about the accurate telling history of the formation of Texas. That world-renowned letter Travis wrote on February 24, 1836 was. “To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World.” I believe Travis knew that day that the history, which was about to be written, was transformational to “all Americans in the world.” The events of the following eight weeks would transform the western hemisphere. These events resulted in Texas joining the United States, the Mexican American War and the western boundary of this nation moving south 900 miles from Oregon to Southern California. Texas’ history is the keystone of the reshaping of the United States and Mexico, it is not only Texas’ history, but it is the history of the United States, and “All Americans in the World.” Today however this history is under attack, there are those who would diminish that history, those who would replace that history and those who would rather we forget that history. PJ Media has covered this issue, most recently addressing an activist’s claim that Santa Anna, the brutal dictator who did away with the federalist constitution and massacred hundreds in Mexico and Texas, was somehow a liberating humanitarian who had an all-black regiment fighting in Texas. Setting aside the fact that if he had, that might have constituted segregation, according to experts on the composition of the units Santa Anna brought to Texas, there was no such unit at all .
McDonald continued: First consider the Texas State Historical Association, one would expect them to tell accurate history and […]

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.
