President Trump made an important point at his rally in Toledo, Ohio, yesterday. He said (and I’m paraphrasing) Democrats may be crazy but they are quite good at staying united. He was pointing out how on impeachment, they weren’t completely united which made it an exceptional case. He also knows that on certain issues, they will walk the party line invariably. He then highlighting how House Republicans were united in their opposition to impeachment.
Representative Matt Gaetz broke party lines to vote in favor for the Democrats’ Iran War Powers resolution. He wasn’t alone, but he was notable as a staunch Trump supporter who voted against the President’s wishes this time. It seemed like an ideological move, one that under normal circumstances would make sense. I’m a fan of those who will vote for what’s right and best for their constituents and not along party lines 100% of the time. But this was the wrong time. It was the wrong hill for Gaetz’s rising celebrity within the GOP to die on.
First, Iran is not the best example as a subject to voice one’s Article I concerns. They have demonstrated they want to kill us. They have taken steps to kill us. They have killed many Americans in recent years and will want to continue doing so until the people they call the “great satan” are finally vanquished. Moreover, there seems to be a fuss over whether or not Qasem Soleimani was planning imminent attacks on United States forces. This point should be moot and, to be fair, I’m disappointed the White House chose to highlight this point at all. The narrative should have been, “He was an American-killing terrorist leader and his death makes Americans safer.”
Second, this was a resolution without teeth. It’s symbolic as a concurrent resolution instead of having the legal backing of a joint resolution. As such, it’s pure politics. Some may say that’s the right circumstance for Gaetz to express his concerns since there was no harm so there’s no foul. But in reality, the exact opposite is true. A symbolic concurrent resolution that has no chance of ever being enforced is the time to stand behind the politics of the day, which is Americans supporting the killing of Soleimani and the current path to peace that we’re now on as a result. A resolution with the teeth necessary to hold a President under the constraints of Article I, allowing Congress to maintain full powers of war, is the time to abandon symbolism and vote for what’s right.
It’s hard to tell what motivated Gaetz to go down this road despite his explanations, such as his interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson below. At the end, he says President Trump is too smart to be painted by Nancy Pelosi as a pro-war politician. But here’s the thing. This phony war powers resolution with no teeth was 100% intended to paint the President as a pro-war politician. It would have been a great time for Gaetz to vote against the resolution, then explain to the world that he supports restraints on presidential power when it comes to war but wouldn’t support this pseudo-resolution because it was pure partisan- and election-year-jockeying.
This was a huge miss for Gaetz. We can agree that every president should be restrained by the Constitution and still acknowledge that Pelosi is playing politics with this toothless resolution. It seems like a “look at me” spotlight move by Gaetz.
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 nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- 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,
