Mike Pompeo has been a pleasant surprise as Secretary of State. He’s perfectly aligned with President Trump’s foreign policy and seems to be representing us with the appropriate level of force necessary from the nation’s top diplomat. But as we move into an election season with a thin hold on the Senate, it makes sense for the former Congressman to run for retiring Pat Roberts’s Senate seat.
Doing so would open some doors for him to make moves ahead of 2024, if he so chooses. Unofficially, Pompeo is being eyed as a potential 2024 presidential contender. Being in the Senate will give him a safer platform from which to operate now that he has his foreign relations credentials squarely secured. He doesn’t have to prove anything else to voters in that end, so sponsoring some legislation and spending more time on C-Span than on airplanes would be politically expedient for him. Even if he doesn’t run in 2020, the 55-year-old could easily be in the next Republican President’s cabinet, remain a Senator in Kansas indefinitely, or get tapped to be someone’s VP.
Who would replace him? Senators Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton come to mind as needing to get some foreign relations experience on their resume. Both are considered likely 2024 presidential candidates. Both have had success building strong conservative brands in the Senate. Both have the smarts to handle the role of Secretary of State. Most importantly, both are liked by President Trump.
This is all speculation. It’s a wishlist. But even with our focus on the 2020 election, we need to be thinking who would best serve the nation’s interests now and in the future. It’s risky to move pieces around this close to the election, especially at the State Department. But if a low-risk person like Cruz or Cotton takes the job and NOT someone out of left field like Rex Tillerson, this can actually be a very positive thing.
One other Senator has been floated for the job and someone who has already claimed they don’t want the job should be considered. Senator Marco Rubio, who I supported in the 2016 primaries, would not be a good choice as his aggressive foreign relations stance would run counter to the President’s. Rubio is too much of a wild card to put in the White House at this stage. Yes, he’s a Trump supporter, but at times he’s seemed too willing to speak carelessly. That’s not what we need at the State Department. Then, there’s former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley would be excellent for the position. But having already exited the White House once, it seems unlikely she would return… unless she was just waiting for the right job.
These hypothetical moves, if handled properly, could be very beneficial for the nation, the President’s reelection chances, and everyone involved. Pre-election shakeups are dangerous, but a smooth one might be in order this time.
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.

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,
