For decades, Portland was considered to be one of the most impressive cities on the west coast. It was safe, vibrant, and productive. But in recent years, it has turned “woke,” not only culturally but also politically. The results have been disastrous and they’re on the verge of stepping even further to the left.
Mayor Ted Wheeler has been a complete disaster because of his radical leftist policies. But his opponent, Sarah Iannarone, is even more radical than he is, if that’s even possible. She is known as the “Antifa candidate” for mayor and right now she’s leading in the polls. It would seem that the domestic terrorism that has engulfed the city for over four months has been embraced by most of the residents. To get an idea of Iannarone’s ideology, listen to her response about Antifa.
At tonight's Portland mayoral debate, Sarah Iannarone, who is polling ahead of @tedwheeler, is asked about her support for antifa. She repeats the falsehood that being "antifa" only means being against fascism. pic.twitter.com/2P2W8TvdH0

Portland may be dying. It may also be dead already. It’s hard to tell since mainstream media won’t cover it anymore and independent media must risk physical attacks just to get the word out. Go woke, go broke.
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.
