The burden of proof in a criminal case goes in one direction. The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. Otherwise, they are (usually) acquitted. But what the President’s team of lawyers are doing is a series of civil cases. That changes the rules from what most people see on an episode of “Law and Order.”
Let’s take a look at four key points to remember when hearing all of the “bad” news or negative comments on social media.
First and foremost, many are saying that it’s incumbent on the Trump team to prove election fraud. To some extent, this is true. But when validating vote totals and certifying results, it’s also incumbent on election boards, secretaries of state, and electors themselves to prove the votes were accurate whenever there are reasons to believe they were tainted. In 2020, there are tons of reasons to believe the votes were tainted.
By certifying election results, elected officials and bureaucrats are signing their names to the belief that nothing is awry. There are only two reasons governors, secretaries of states, legislators, or other election officials in the contested states would be willing to do this. Either they’re stupid for believing there’s nothing bad that happened and continues to happen in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, and other states, or they’re rushing it through because they were involved. Would YOU sign your name to certify these results?
The second thing to keep in mind is that Team Trump does NOT have to demonstrate voter fraud “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Any time anyone proclaims this is necessary, tell them to stop watching “Law and Order.” Again, these are civil cases. Criminal cases require an abundance of evidence to breach the reasonable doubt threshold. Civil case winners are determined by a “preponderance of evidence.” In other words, whichever side shows more solid evidence that they’re correct is the winner in a civil case.
Third, we have time. The left is trying to tell everyone that we are out of time, that the President’s attorneys tried and failed, or that some artificial deadline like ballots being certified or election results being approved are somehow hard-stops for the cases. They’re not. In fact, the team has until the electors cast their votes in the Electoral College at the very least. They could even have until inauguration day. Granted, it will all go much smoother if they get the cases ruled by the Supreme Court before then, but it’s far from over. We have about two weeks of viable time left. Beyond that it definitely gets tricky.
Lastly, there are tons of people all over social media asking about the Department of Justice. “Where’s the FBI?” That’s understandable since it does appear that they’re doing nothing about this. But guess what. We don’t care. Not yet. After the President is reelected through these civil suits, THEN we can turn our attention to laying blame and making arrests. Until then, that’s secondary. It doesn’t make a difference in what’s happening now with the Trump team. All we need to care about is what happens in the civil suits. We can prod and question the DoJ after the primary mission is accomplished.
In the latest episode of NOQ Report, I dove into all of these and more. It’s an important podcast, if I do say so myself.
Things are moving along very nicely for the President. His attorneys are pushing the process forward at the right pace. Don’t get discouraged by mainstream or social media’s push to say, “He lost!” They’re just distracting from the truth.

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.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
