There are few categories of people allegedly aligned towards the same goals who are more secretly contentious towards other than conservative journalists. If you want to make a conservative journalist jealous, show them a Tweet by Donald Trump Jr linking to a different conservative news outlet than their own. The battle for mindshare and pageviews among conservative outlets is brutal and it’s hurting the movement while aiding the enemy.
With that said, we’re doing something about it in our own tiny journalistic world. We’re joining the NOQ Report network. Okay, so technically speaking I’m not actually “joining” the network since there’s no membership for this club. And technically speaking it’s not really a “network” per se. But we’re there now. We’re working with them. They’ll be posting some of our content and we’ll be posting some of theirs. It’s symbiotic, which is a status that is often very much missing in the worlds of conservatism, libertarianism, and conservatarianism.
The major challenges we face in this nation and the whole world have been amplified in recent months. We need more unity from the ideological right, yet there seems to be more division, particularly in the ranks of right-leaning media. We’re competitive creatures, after all, and as competitors we often pick our allies based on who can help us do whatever it is we want. While we’re out here operating like private businesses with individual goals and (rightly) trying to be the best, the left is out there unifying as collectivists. It’s like we’re fighting the Borg from Star Trek , and despite the various happy endings to the shows and the one Borg movie, reality is this: The Borg should have won. Those stories were fictional testaments to individualism defeating collectivism, but in reality there’s no reason based on the stories to believe that the entire alpha quadrant shouldn’t have fallen. Resistance really was futile.
We face a similar daunting task and we don’t have fiction writers giving us the obligatory happy ending. But as Breitbart competes for pageviews with Daily Wire who competes for pageviews with The Blaze who competes for pageviews […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
