First Step Act: Rush a conservative version or slow down for a bipartisan one

by JD Rucker
November 30, 2018
in News

NOQ Report Is Moving to AmericaFirstReport.com

The controversial criminal justice reform bill, First Step Act, has been the centerpiece in battles between prominent conservatives on Capitol Hill ever since President Trump first endorsed it earlier this month. Senators Tom Cotton and Mike Lee have had words on Twitter debating the bill with Cotton claiming it’s too lenient on violent criminals and Lee, the bill’s author, claiming it excludes those it should.
Now, reports are spreading that the White House is shopping a new version of the bill that will bring Republicans together to support it. The White House denies it, but multiple outlets have referenced different sources saying it’s not only being distributed on Capitol Hill but also to leaders in law enforcement who have been critical of the “jailbreak,” as many are calling it.
Charles Fain Lehman at Washington Free Beacon, one of the first to break the story earlier today, has heard from both sides of the fence:

Scoop: White House Circulating Major Revision to FIRST STEP

https://freebeacon.com/issues/scoop-white-house-circulating-major-revision-first-step/“The President has endorsed the Senate compromise on the First Step Act, and the White House is not circulating any other version. All reporting to the contrary is false. The White House is committed to passing this legislation in the lame duck,” Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told the Free Beacon.

Conn Carroll, Communications Director for bill-author Lee, told the Free Beacon that the version of the bill being reported here was being distributed by “rogue elements within the DOJ,” who have long opposed FIRST STEP.

My Take

There are two conflicting narratives being spread about the bill. On one hand, we’re hearing its’a bipartisan bill with support from law enforcement. On the other hand,.there’s a rush to get it passed during the lame duck session. If it has wide bipartisan support, which would the GOP be wasting time trying to pass it before Democrats take over the House?
The reality is this: as it sits it is probably considered to be “bipartisan” because a few Democrats have agreed to it which counters the few Republicans who oppose it. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is hesitant to bring it to a vote until he’s secured ever Republican. He’d prefer to have a unified caucus. If that’s the case, then the alleged changes to the bill are designed to bring it further to the right so it no longer has to be supported by Democrats at all.
That’s the only thing that makes sense if they’re pushing it forward now. If they stick with the bipartisan version, they’re wasting precious time on it during the lame duck. They can push it until the next session when Democrats have control of the House, helping both sides demonstrate they can get things done even with a split on Capitol Hill.
I sincerely hope they push a conservative version now. They need to make the final version public before the votes so constituents can weigh in with lawmakers. I’ve been opposed to the bill in its current form and unless there are radical changes made I can’t see myself changing my mind, but if we’re stuck with the choice between a rushed conservative version or a slow bipartisan version, I’d rather take the version that can be passed exclusively by Republicans.
Criminal justice reform is a polarizing issue. If they can appease calls from conservatives and law enforcement officers to make it less of a jailbreak and keep American citizens’ safety as a priority, that’s preferable to a compromise.

It behooves patriots to acquire physical gold and silver or make the move to self-directed precious metals IRAs from America-First companies that do not donate to Democrats. Go to Our Gold Guy for the personal buying experience with Ira Bershatsky. Go to Genesis Gold Group, a Christian fellowship-driven precious metals company. Or go to GoldCo for peace of mind from a bigger company.



Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat

Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.

I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.

The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.

We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.

Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8

Our network is currently comprised of six sites:

  • NOQ Report
  • Conservative Playlist
  • Freedom First Network
  • Based Underground
  • Uncanceled News
  • Our Gold Guy

We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.

Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.

While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:

  • MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
  • ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
  • OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
  • MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.

We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).

Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
