Two and a half months of rioting in Portland has yielded very little in the way of change on either side. The Democrats running the city continue to attempt to deescalate by doing very little and asking law enforcement to do even less. Meanwhile, the Antifa and Black Lives Matter “peaceful protesters” continue to burn the city down.
One particularly brave Antifa rioter decided to run from the police. Then, when he saw his girlfriend being arrested, he ran back towards them, taking off his shirt and apparently ready to fight. Instead of throwing a punch, local law enforcement showered him with pepper spray. And by shower, this wasn’t like a little canister opened up on him. He was absolutely drenched. Twice.
A man takes off his shirt and wants to fight police at the BLM/antifa riot in Portland tonight. He charges in and is showered with pepper spray. He goes down. #PortlandRiots #antifa Video by @FromKalen pic.twitter.com/zQE2hwGJJ3

Of course, he didn’t get away with his aggression that easily. When he rose and continued back towards law enforcement, he was hit with not one but two pepper balls. Two of his friends tried to drag him away as he was yelling something about them not touching his girlfriend or he’d kill them. Then, law enforcement took them all down.
Radical leftist mayor Ted Wheeler and fellow extreme progressive governor Kate Brown have held local law enforcement back while preventing federal law enforcement from helping. Now, state police have pulled back because county prosecutors are not prosecuting. The city is an absolute mess and the reason is squarely placed on the shoulders of feckless Democratic leadership.
The push for anarcho-communism must be stopped. If that means taking “peaceful protesters” who are trying to assault police officers and drenching them in pepper spray, so be it. Law and order must prevail.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.

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. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
