Red states pull National Guard from DC. Federal-state rift ahead?

It looks like trouble in paradise for the new masters of the Swamp.

Red states pull National Guard from DC. Federal-state rift ahead_

Another day, another debacle, or so it seems to go with the Biden administration running the show. From Inauguration Day riots – by leftists – to Joe Biden violating his own mask mandate at the Lincoln Memorial, the new regime is off to a rough start. In the latest episode of the nation’s newest soap opera, a unit of 5,000 National Guard soldiers, nearly a fifth of the more than 26,000 soldiers brought in to fortify and defend Biden’s inauguration, took shelter in a parking garage after thousands were evicted from the Capitol by the United States Capitol Police (USCP) – allegedly because a House Democrat complained.

Article by James Fite originally published at Liberty Nation.

They have since been invited – and ordered – to go back to using the Capitol Visitor Center, but only after POLITICO reported the situation. Unfortunately for the Biden administration, the damage may already be done. Republican Governors Ron DeSantis of Florida, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, and Greg Abbott of Texas all reacted to the way their troops had been treated by ordering them to head home. Could this drive a wedge between red states and the federal government? In any case, it doesn’t look like the start of a beautiful friendship.

A Soldier’s Perspective

POLITICO initially reported that soldiers claimed thousands had been told to leave the Capitol by the police and that a unit of 5,000 had moved into a parking garage. That’s no beds, minimal protection from the elements in the middle of winter, and but a single two-stall bathroom to share among themselves.

“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands, and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage,” one Guardsman allegedly told POLITICO, adding that they felt “incredibly betrayed.”

According to Breitbart, the cause was a complaint by Rep. Will Keating (D-MA). The story goes that the congressman saw a soldier not wearing a mask in a Dunkin Donuts and commented loudly that masks were required at all times in any federal building. The soldier allegedly responded: “I appreciate my freedom.” After this incident, the National Guard announced that USCP had ordered the troops to stop resting inside the Capitol during their 12-hour shifts and to head for the Thurgood Marshall Judicial Center parking garage.

Misunderstanding Or Misdirection?

After the media reports went live, USCP Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman told a different story:

“I want to assure everyone that, with the exception of specific times on Inauguration Day itself while the swearing-in ceremonies were underway, the United States Capitol police did not instruct the National Guard to vacate the Capitol Building facilities. And on Inauguration Day, the Guard was notified and encouraged to reoccupy the spaces in the Capitol and CVC at 2 p.m.”

Between the police statement and the soldiers’ claims, it’s hard to tell whether this was all just a big misunderstanding or if the chief was running damage control. Congressional Democrats from both houses condemned the situation. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said: “If this is true, it’s outrageous. I will get to the bottom of this.”

Republicans acted as well – many offering up the use of their own congressional offices so the troops could enjoy a bit more comfort, not to mention reasonable bathroom access. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) bought pizza to the troops in the garage. Donald Trump – their former commander in chief – offered Trump Hotel D.C. as troop housing.

With everyone acting in such a public manner – often tweeting about it – it’s hard to tell who’s genuine and who is merely taking advantage of a golden PR opportunity. Still, the optics aren’t good for team Biden.

Heading Home

Whatever the true reason those soldiers bunked in the garage, the three states led by Republican governors have recalled their troops. Govs. Abbott, DeSantis, and Sununu reacted with outrage at the treatment and instructed their generals to order the troops home. The National Guard announced that 15,000 soldiers were leaving the capital. This leaves more than 10,000 troops in the Swamp, with all but about 7,000 to head home around the end of the month.

DeSantis and Abbott also condemned conducting background checks on the soldiers. Before heading to defend the new president at and after his inauguration, Guardsmen had to undergo background checks to screen for “radicalism” – presumably, any signs that the soldier was a Trump supporter or conservative in general would have been considered evidence of such dangerous ideology.

Unity? Forget It!

Anti-Trump activists across the political spectrum spent four years terrorizing the president of the United States, his employees, and any American citizen who dared show support for him. Now that the Democrats hold sway over the Swamp, many – though certainly not all – of them preach unity. But conservatives take this in stride; if it weren’t for double standards, the left wouldn’t have any standards at all, it seems. Still, this situation, its alleged cause, and the responses from both Democrats and Republicans don’t exactly smooth the way to uniting the people of this nation who stand on opposite sides of the ideological divide. Remember: Former President Trump and the Republicans offered to house the troops, not current President Biden and the Democrats.

And what of the Union itself? There are those in each party who call for secession whenever the other side comes out on top, but does this recall of troops from red states demonstrate a rift between Republican-led states and the federal government? Whatever the case, Biden – long touted as a master at reaching across the aisle to get things done – thus far seems ill-equipped to unite the people and heal the divide.

COVID-19 lockdowns are taking 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 resurgence of lockdowns 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 $17,300 to stay afloat through March when we hope the economy will be more open, 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. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.

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.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, 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 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 11,000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.

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!
