(Ian MacNicol / Getty Images) Team USA lived down to Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s prediction of “Olympic failure” by ending the first day of competition without a single medal.
Medals were given out Saturday in shooting sports, martial arts, weightlifting, fencing and cycling.
Of the 33 medals awarded, not a single one went to an American, according to The Hill .
Olympic historian Bill Mallon said this was the first time since the 1972 Munich Olympics that the U.S. suffered an opening day drought at the Summer Games. Looks like no medals for @TeamUSA on day 1 of the medal chase. Last happened at the Summer Olympics in 1972 at Munich. Part of a stretch from 1960/64/68/72 when US did not medal on day 1. Have done so every other Games 1932-2016. 1/n — Bill Mallon (@bambam1729) July 24, 2021 American athletes did not receive any medals on the first day of the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang either.
The International Olympic Committee has thrown out its former rules against political activism at the Games and is allowing athletes to protest at this year’s Olympics.
“Meaning,” Ingraham said , “we are going to get a lot more, not less, of what we don’t want to see.”
On Friday, noting that the U.S. women’s soccer team had its pre-game protest down pat despite a 3-0 loss to Sweden, Ingraham bemoaned the fact that the left’s “woke” doctrine is running rampant at the Olympics.

She said the Tokyo Games will feature “an overload of Olympians who think we somehow care about their political views.”
“Whether it was President Reagan opening the 1984 Olympics or Bill Clinton in 1996 in Atlanta, we rallied because we loved the country and we loved our athletes,” Ingraham said.“And for a few weeks, we all put our differences aside about pretty much everything else. But today, things are different.”“Now there are millions of Americans disgusted by the U.S. women’s soccer team not because they lost to Sweden, but because […]

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.
