In front of a sparse group of supporters, Congresswoman Liz Cheney conceded her defeat to Trump-backed Harriet Hageman Tuesday night in the Wyoming Republican primary. With about half the votes counted, Hageman leads Cheney by over 25-points.
Cheney’s defeat speech included a peculiar comparison. She started by talking about Abraham Lincoln’s defeats in the House and Senate before winning the White House. Was she unofficially announcing that she’s running for president in 2024?
“The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election for all,” she said. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”

Rumors have been spreading since before the primary that she’s considering a presidential run. It would be absolutely comical, of course, but let’s not forget the mentality of the Uniparty Swamp. They don’t always run candidates who can win. Sometimes, they run candidates whose sole purpose is to throw fire at the conservatives in the race so a different RINO can emerge. They did this with Chris Christie in 2016 when they tried to prop up Jeb Bush. Christie was supposed to take out Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, but they didn’t see Donald Trump coming.
Twitter’s reactions were amazing:
Liz Cheney’s political career began in 2014 when she announced a run for senate in Wyoming with a Facebook post geotagged to McLean, Virginia. It ended with her comparing herself to Abraham Lincoln after losing her congressional seat by over 35 points.

Few people in Washington have been as wrong and damaging on foreign policy as Liz Cheney. Congratulations to @HagemanforWY on her victory tonight. I look forward to working with an advocate for liberty as the next Congresswoman from Wyoming. Bye Liz.

Bye bye @Liz_Cheney . On the bright side at least you won’t have to pretend to be from Wyoming anymore.

Let’s hope she does run. The damage she can do to Trump will be minimal compared to the points he’d score by having an antagonistic loser trying to follow in her father’s NeoCon footsteps.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
