Queen Latifah’s new CBS show, The Equalizer , premiered an episode this week that portrayed a bomb-making “alt-right” terrorist group whose symbol was a teapot, which seems to be a not-so-thinly-veiled reference to the Tea Party movement of the 2010s.
In the episode, “True Believer,” on May 16, former CIA operative turned lone wolf detective Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) set out to help a housewife whose husband appeared to have gone down an online rabbit hole of far-right radicals ( a common leftist boogeyman trope ). The right-wing radicals in the episode regularly referred to themselves as “patriots.”
Their leader was a dirty New York City cop who helped them make bombs, one of which was set to blow up an international student house. The cop “was always talking about immigrants. Immigrants ruining the country, cutting in line, taking jobs from real Americans,” according to one of the deprogrammed terrorists.
McCall’s tech genius assistant, Harry (Adam Goldberg), showed McCall the dangerous group’s symbol.

They’ve been flagged by DHS as possible extremists. They’re basically a Qanon-type group. You know? Lots of deep state paranoia, talk of revolution and references to an event called The Reckoning, which is basically the violent overthrow of the government by disempowered “Patriots.” You know, why is it, when you want to overthrow the government, you’re only a patriot if you’re white? Why is it that network television thinks that the greatest threat to the United States right now is fictional right-wing terrorist groups, composed entirely of white males? They keep creating them for their episodes. I could give writers the names of some real-life groups terrorizing the U.S. who killed dozens and caused billions of dollars in damages last year and they were not right-wing.
But Hollywood refuses to create scripts about brainwashed left-wing Antifa or BLM members who commit violence against others. If they wanted to, they could also do a […]

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.
