Don’t run out of coffee during the apocalypse. Stock up on delicious coffee that’s freeze-dried and sealed to keep it fresh for decades.
Social distancing is strongly recommended by healthcare officials and the federal government through the coronavirus crisis. It makes sense as a recommendation. The disease is easily contracted and the only way to be fairly certain we won’t catch or spread it is by staying away from others. That’s what a Colorado family was doing when they were playing tee-ball in an empty public park.
But Brighton police felt the family was not properly complying with social distancing orders mandated in Colorado, so they handcuffed Matt Mooney, 33, in front of his wife and 6-year-old daughter before holding him in a police cruiser for approximately 10 minutes.
A guy in Colorado was cuffed and arrested in front of his 6 year old daughter for playing t-ball with her in an empty park. People keep assuring me that we’re not living in a police state. Well tell me what a police state looks like if not like this.

“She’s like, ‘Daddy, I don’t want you to get arrested,'” Mooney told FOX31 Problem Solvers. “At this point I’m thinking, ‘There’s no way they’re going to arrest me, this is insane.’ I’m telling her, ‘Don’t worry, Daddy’s not going to get arrested. I’ve done nothing wrong. Don’t worry about it,’ and then they arrest me.”
The park was closed but signs indicated groups of four or less were still allowed to enjoy the park for recreational purposes. Other than the family of three, the park was empty until law enforcement arrived. As Mooney noted, they engaged him in an unsafe manner by getting close to him and handcuffing him. According to Mooney, they were not wearing face masks or gloves.
One of the biggest reasons we’re putting on the digital Saving America Conference on April 18 is because instances like this are now commonplace. Many cities and states across the country have mandates and ordinances that are draconian in nature, demonstrating clear government overreach. As I noted on Twitter, a crisis does not mean the Constitution is put on hold.
Combed through the Constitution for the clause that says any part of it is suspended when there's a crisis.
It's not there.

If we do not stand up and push back against this type of police-state behavior, we cannot complain when it becomes more pervasive. Rising authoritarianism is not the answer to the coronavirus. The solution must not be worse than the ailment.
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.
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 new GiveSendGo. 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
- Truth Based Media
- 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.
