AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell As RedState reported , ostensible GOP consultant Frank Luntz teased a coming “major story” that would supposedly prove “embarrassing” for Republicans and Donald Trump.
Here’s what that looked like last night. Okay, this is really big news: @JonKarl is about to break a major story about Trump, the GOP, and January 20th that will embarrass a lot of people. It’s also in his new book Betrayal, which isn’t out yet. Clue: It’s been over 100 years since a POTUS did this. — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) November 7, 2021 When I did the initial write-up, I didn’t do much in the way of speculating what this was supposed to be because I honestly had no idea. What I did do was put my money on it being a complete nothing-burger that would only appeal to the beltway smart set.
Well, Luntz has now revealed the “embarrassing” anecdote that will appear in Jon Karl’s new, sure-to-be low-selling book, and I must admit that I was wrong. This won’t be a 12-hour story as I stated. It won’t even be a one-hour story. In his new book, @JonKarl reports that Trump actually quit the GOP even before his plane took off from D.C. on January 20, 2021. He also will be the honoree at the @HouseGOP gala tonight. Does Trump deny he quit the GOP? Does anyone deny this? — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) November 8, 2021 If Luntz were trying to win grifter-of-the-year, what would he be doing differently? That initial tease made it seem as if some new, unique revelation was coming forth that would truly change opinions regarding Trump. Instead, the big news is that Trump temporarily did something he said publicly he might do? I mean, I can’t go search through his tweets anymore because he’s banned, but I’m pretty darn sure he threatened to start a third party several times. If I’m wrong on that point, I apologize, but that’s my recollection.
Further, even if this was something completely new, how is it embarrassing or a major story? We’ve always known that the former president was extremely upset […]

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.
