With the chances of passing HR 1 about as good as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bill to abolish the ATF being signed into law by Joe Biden, Senate Democrats used today’s attempt to bring the voting bill up for a vote as an excuse to demagogue Republican opposition for all kinds of imaginary sins. The most obvious bit of grandstanding came from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who proclaimed that the GOP is trying to make it harder to vote and easier to buy a gun. “Republican legislatures are making it easier to own a gun than to vote”: Schumer says GOP voting restrictions passed in states across the country are “opening the door for some demagogue, a Trumpian-type demagogue — maybe he himself — to try and subvert our elections” pic.twitter.com/zDe9Dv03eq — CBS News (@CBSNews) June 22, 2021 “They’re limiting the kinds of IDs you can use [to vote] like student IDs, while at the same time removing requirements for any form of licensing to own a firearm,” Schumer intoned.
“Has any study shown that there’s less fraud among firearm owners than students? There’s probably very little among either,” Schumer continued, apparently unaware that he was making the case for less gun control.
My friend Ed Morrissey has his own take on Schumer’s comments, calling his comparison “so fatuous that it’s a wonder it didn’t result in gales of laughter on the Senate floor.” I’m sure there were a few snickers, but honestly, my guess is that most senators (Republican and Democrat alike) learned to tune out Schumer’s ramblings long ago.
Still, if anyone was paying attention, they could have easily called Schumer out for his false claim that GOP-controlled states are making it easier to own a gun. I’m not aware of any state this year that has repealed a licensing requirement to own a firearm, though nearly a half-dozen states have repealed the requirement to obtain a license before a legal gun owner can lawfully carry one in self-defense.
Clearly Schumer has a problem with that. After all, he represents the state of New York, which is being hauled into […]

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.
