There are many variations of a new mantra that has popped up on social media in recent years that progressives love to use following any tragedy. It goes something like this: “We need more than your thoughts and prayers. We need action.”
Some variations are much more derogatory. No need to highlight them here.
But there’s a reality that’s being ignored, even by conservatives and Christians who are often the ones posting their “thoughts and prayers” on social media sites. The reality is that thoughts and prayers are exactly what this country needs right now. As the creeping lawlessness of the nation rises, we need more people sending positive thoughts. But more importantly we need deeper thoughts, as in intellectual attempts to find proper solutions to the various problems that plague us, to reach the forefront instead of the reactionary, emotional contempt being spewed by both sides towards each other.
Thoughts are important, but as a nation, our greatest strength has always been our faith. But that faith seems to be waning in modern day America. Not only are other religious practices becoming more prominent, but secular religious ideas like atheism and transhumanism are replacing the Judeo-Christian principles upon which our nation was built.
We need more prayer and we need it badly. We need people to pray for the nation, for healing, and for forgiveness of sins that we all have and that perpetuate the growing evils in our society. Sometimes, those sins are blatant as we embrace anti-Biblical worldviews for the sake of staving off accusations of bigotry or intolerance. Other times, those sins are passive; inaction in the face of attacks on the Bible is an active choice.
The country and the world are in a state where we can (or at least should) finally acknowledge that our own control over what’s happening has been an illusion all along. There are principalities and powers stacked against us, rulers in high places who want nothing more than to pit man against man and thereby man against the image of God.
Current efforts to stop the rash of mass shootings is a perfect example of the delusion that’s spreading. That’s not to say we can’t do anything about them, but the only solution that would put an end to gun violence in America is to have every firearm in circulation, both legally and illegally, removed and destroyed. This is impossible; there are more guns than there are Americans. It would also be ill advised as the only thing that keeps government in check is an armed citizenry. If you think laws work because of the benevolence of government and not because the citizens have always been the equalizer preventing an oppressive authoritarian regime from taking over, then you haven’t read your history books.
The only thing that can truly stop mass shootings if intervention from the divine. We do not know what God has planned for America, but we do know we can ask Him for mercy and protection. Just as Daniel prayed for Israel, so too should we pray for His will to be done in America.
As humans in general and Americans in particular, we are bent on establishing actions when tragedies strike. But these actions should not supersede prayer, which is something we should be doing constantly, recent tragedy or not.
We are currently forming the American Conservative Movement. If you are interested in learning more, we will be sending out information in a few weeks.

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.
