So I recently read a post about some local politburo running amok:
… an elderly Sunday School teacher Kate Bossi was arrested for refusing to wear a mask when entering the Timberlane School Board meeting where Farah serves as Chairman. …
Here is how Texas is dealing with this manifestation of communism: Texas is OPEN 100%. Starting TODAY, local governments attempting to impose mask mandates can be fined up to $1K. Public schools are prohibited from mandating masks after June 4. pic.twitter.com/FLCWSu0pN7 — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 21, 2021 And this is exactly how New Hampshire can and should deal with it. But that won’t happen because there are too many in the GOP who believe “local control” is an end in itself, rather than a means to an end.
Properly understood, “local control” is a means to restrain government in order to maximize individual liberty. Decisions that can be made by local governments should be made by local governments in order to avoid a one-size-fits-all bigger government solution. Easier to change local government than State government and, if that fails, easier to move to a different town than a different State.
BUT decisions that can be made by individuals can and should be made by individuals, not by local government. Such as whether to wear a mask.
More particularly, because there is no real science showing that masks work … there is (and never was) no “public health” basis to mandate masks … which means it can and should be an individual decision whether to continue acting in a psychotic manner by wearing a mask.
This is the point that so many in the GOP miss. To repeat, LOCAL CONTROL DOES NOT MEAN THAT MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD MAKE DECISIONS THAT CAN BE MADE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Christian-Driven America-First Precious Metals.
Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
Of course, one or more who don’t get … or don’t want to get … this concept are going to comment that I want State government to impose a one-size-fits-all solution. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. What Abbott has done is to allow every individual in Texas to decide for himself or herself whether to continue “masking-up” (i.e., acting […]

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.
