As we’ve said numerous times over the past six weeks, Portland is burning and feckless leadership at the state and city level have neutered law enforcement’s ability to contain or disperse Antifa black bloc and Black Lives Matter rioters. The city is in a state of anarchy, especially at night when residents are terrorized downtown simply for existing.
Now, “woke” Mayor Ted Wheeler has ordered federal law enforcement out of command centers and areas of operation controlled by city and state personnel. In essence, they are no longer welcome to participate in actions that can bring law and order back to the chaotic city.

This action comes on the heels of two incidents over the last week. The first was a protester who was shot in the face by a rubber bullet, prompting calls to have officers from Homeland Security removed from the city. Then, a protester was taken into custody and placed in a van to be interrogated in a safer environment. Both actions have been portrayed by Democrats and mainstream media as draconian. Meanwhile, the lack of action by local law enforcement has allowed the streets to be ruled by thugs.
Portland has become the epicenter of a neo-Marxist push to embrace anarcho-communism as a way of life. It will spread across the nation if the Portland experiment is successful, and thus far it has been. As much as we oppose the use of federal law enforcement to participate in local matters such as this, there are thresholds that have been broken. When locals are unable to handle a situation properly, it falls on the state to act. When the state refuses to act, as Oregon Governor Kate Brown has continuously done since the riots started seven weeks ago, then the responsibility falls on the federal government.
Portland no longer seems like a city within the United States of America. Local and state leaders are behind the push for anarchy so they can eventually impose authoritarianism at will. Keep an eye on the city as it plummets to oblivion. Here is the latest NOQ Report podcast talking about this issue:

American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We just launched a new GiveSendGo page. We also have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
