Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell ripped into CNN after a network correspondent asked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about the supposedly “racist roots” of the filibuster.
In recent months, President Joe Biden, who spent decades serving in the U.S. Senate, has said he now agrees with his former running mate and president, Barack Obama, that the filibuster is a “relic of the Jim Crow era,” though Obama made a passionate defense of the procedural rule on the floor of the chamber in 2005.
During his speech, Obama said ditching the filibuster would allow the majority party to “change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet.” “If the majority chooses to end the filibuster, if they choose to change the rules and put an end to democratic debate, then the fighting and the bitterness and the gridlock will only get worse,” Obama predicted.
But that was then; today, as Democrats hold a bare majority in the upper chamber and a very slim majority in the House — and with the 2022 midterms already looking like a Republican blow-out given Biden’s tanking approval ratings — party leaders recognize their days in control of Congress are likely numbered. So they have increasingly attacked the Senate filibuster, a rule which requires 60 votes to move most legislation, as out-of-date and ‘unfair,’ even though Democrats used the procedure at least 327 times in 2020 alone.
And the left-wing media appears to be doing its part to help the Democratic Party’s cause.
“I asked GOP Leader Mitch #McConnell, who describes characterization of the #filibuster as rooted in racism as ‘nonsense,’ if he was worried about the public perception to opposing a measure many believe will block efforts to make it harder for black people to vote,” CNN national politics reporter Eva McKend noted in a March tweet containing a video of her asking the question. I asked GOP Leader Mitch #McConnell , who describes characterization of the #filibuster as rooted in racism as “nonsense,” if […]

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.
