Politicians are liars. This is indisputable and for all intents and purposes, it’s universal. Politicians are human, most of them at least, and humans lies. Many choose not to tell big lies, and there are even a few politicians who avoid lying as much as they possibly can despite having jobs that often requires it.
In other words, I don’t get too bent out of shape when politicians tell unimportant lies. It’s not that I approve. I’m just used to it.
Former Vice President was called out by the Washington Post for a fantastic and fanciful story of valor, regret, and respect. As they noted in their semi-fact check, the story was moving but contained extremely wrong details, joining multiple military stories together and elevating his own role in the matter(s). Is Biden lying about this? That’s actually not the important question.
The short version of the story is Biden has been telling a very emotional tale of a Navy Captain (who was actually an Army specialist) he met when he was Vice President (he was actually a Senator at the time) who received the Silver Star (it was the Medal of Honor). When Biden pinned the medal on him (President Obama actually did), the veteran screamed about not deserving it (that was a different person altogether).
Here’s the long version if you’d like to read it:
As he campaigns for president, Joe Biden tells a moving but false war story
Joe Biden painted a vivid scene for the 400 people packed into a college meeting hall. A four-star general had asked the then-vice president to travel to Kunar province in Afghanistan, a dangerous foray into “godforsaken country” to recognize the remarkable heroism of a Navy captain.
Some told him it was too risky, but Biden said he brushed off their concerns. “We can lose a vice president,” he said. “We can’t lose many more of these kids. Not a joke.”
The Navy captain, Biden recalled Friday night, had rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying him on his back. Now the general wanted Biden to pin a Silver Star on the American hero who, despite his bravery, felt like a failure.
“He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing!’ ” Biden said, his jaw clenched and his voice rising to a shout. “’Do not pin it on me, Sir! Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died!’ ”
The room was silent.
“This is the God’s truth,” Biden had said as he told the story. “My word as a Biden.”
Let’s break down why this story is worse than any run-of-the-mill politician’s lie.
Miscalculated embellishment at best, confusion at worst
The most likely scenario is that Biden has worked bits and pieces of multiple stories into one that’s perfectly designed for the campaign trail. Some will note that every politician does this while running for office, and this is arguably true. But we’re not talking about a minor embellishment here or omission there. This was a Frankensteined story in which the former Vice President took parts of major, fact-checkable, military-related stories and combined them into an abomination.
This is a bad look. It doesn’t necessary downgrade anyone’s valor, but nobody wants to hear a story about them told as if it were someone else who did the act. Nobody wants to hear a story about their buddy who died in combat, only to have both the fallen hero and the heroes at his side replaced for political expediency.
If this story is just a case of major embellishment, it’s a terrible miscalculation. This is the type of story he could have told in the 70s. Or 80s. Or 90s. Heck, he could have told this story in his early days as Vice President. But in 2019, you can’t tell this type of story without having it fact-checked, debunked, and condemned. As a result, the fact that he’s willing to use this tactic is a very bad sign. It tells us he doesn’t understand how to operate from the White House or any major elected office in modern America. That’s not good at all.
The other possibility with this story is that Biden is simply confused. He sometimes isn’t sure which state he’s in, which requires constant reassurance for his lukewarm fan base. But he’s spent over four decades in Washington DC. He’s 76-years-old, which means he if he were to be elected, he’d be as old on his inauguration day as President Reagan was when he left the White House.
Senior moments happen. But it seems to happen to Biden constantly. And if it’s happening at important times in the campaign, that would seem to be an indicator that it would continue and likely get worse if he made it into the Oval Office.
Whether he’s just too mentally old, too out of touch, or both, Joe Biden has absolutely no business being in the White House. Conservatives know it. Radical progressive know it. Even the media is starting to take the hint.

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,
