Yet, while most of you were sitting down with your family to give thanks for all you have, no matter how much or how little, Black Lives Matter released a Thanksgiving message that is sure to soothe your soul. The intrepid “social justice” organization took to social media to let us all know what’s truly important to remember this holiday season. You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land. pic.twitter.com/1Ob1RgBkvp — Black Lives Matter (@Blklivesmatter) November 25, 2021 Imagine being so constantly aggrieved and unable to take a break that you can’t let people enjoy a national holiday where people simply gather with friends and family to give thanks. It’s got to be exhausting to live that way. I mean, it’s one thing to speak to politics on a holiday. People did that all over the country yesterday as they discussed various issues. But it’s another to try to trash the holiday via politics.
Besides, BLM’s message is incredibly dumb. There’s literally not a country on earth, from the Americas to Africa, that wasn’t formed on the basis of conquest. There is absolutely nothing unique about the United States in that sense. Further, even those who the US government conquered were themselves residing on “stolen land,” having conquered it previously. We know that native tribes warred for thousands of years, killing, enslaving, and subjugating.
That’s not to say US government actions weren’t barbaric at times, but everything has to be placed in context. In short, why does the definition of colonization only start with the United States if we are going to play this game?
By the way, what does this stolen land red herring have to do with Black Lives Matter? I ask that because I’ve been assured that BLM is a narrowly-focused organization that only speaks to state-sponsored violence against black people. That’s the excuse we hear when it’s pointed out they […]

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.
