There are times when I’m forced to do what I strongly recommend others not to do. I often scan mainstream media feeds for stories that aren’t being covered by my conservative media peers. On occasion, I’ll run across a story that progressive media reports as damaging to conservatives, and oftentimes these stories end up being ignored by the right. It’s human nature to engage in confirmation bias, and since journalists are human, we do it all the time. We’ll report stories that favor our narrative and ignore stories that are unfavorable.
One story being promoted by progressive media as an “example of Republican glibness” and “another Republican Senator trapped by the President’s delusions” revolves around a Tweet Senator Mike Braun posted. Newsweek, who famously said the President was golfing while he was serving Thanksgiving food to troops in Afghanistan, ran with the headline, “Republican senator tweets video of himself saying Trump never asked Ukraine to investigate Biden, despite video showing Trump doing it.” The implication, of course, is that Braun was denying the President asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. Is that really what he said? Here’s the Tweet:
REPORTER: So you're saying that it's okay for a President to ask a foreign leader to investigate a political rival and withhold foreign aid to coerce him into doing so?
BRAUN: No, I'm not saying that's okay. I'm not saying that's appropriate. I'm saying that it DIDN'T HAPPEN. pic.twitter.com/nARMXL1KEz

This is a textbook example of leftist media seeing what they want to see and hearing what they want to hear. In reality, Braun’s answer to the loaded question was spot-on. He wasn’t saying the President never asked Ukraine to investigate the Bidens, a fact that was made clear on multiple occasions, including the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. What he was objecting to was the the second half of the question, “and withhold foreign aid to coerce him into doing so.”
It’s patently clear in or out of context that Braun was referring to the second half of the question. He said, “No, I’m not saying that’s okay. I’m not saying that’s appropriate.” He clearly wasn’t referring to the request to investigate the Bidens. That would be silly, as doing so would insinuate that all anyone has to do to avoid investigation is to run for president. Braun was obviously saying that the second half of the question posited by the reporter never happened. The President did not withhold aid to coerce Ukraine into investigating the Bidens, as Ambassador Gordon Sondland was forced to admit during the House impeachment hearings.
When preparing for societal collapse, don’t forget the water!
The speed at which progressive mainstream media pounces on Republicans is only matched by the speed at which they run away from a story when their narrative blows up in their face. Senator Mike Braun corrected their false insinuation, nothing more.

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,
