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.
Senator Joe Manchin put the nail on the coffin for Neera Tanden’s nomination as Office of Management and Budget director, then Senators Mitt Romney and Susan Collins hammered the nail into place. Now, after claims by the Biden administration that they would fight to get her confirmed, she has officially withdrawn her name from consideration in a statement from Joe Biden.
Tanden said in a letter to Biden: “Unfortunately, it now seems clear that there is no path forward to gain confirmation, and I do not want continued consideration of my nomination to be a distraction from your other priorities.”

Tanden said in a letter to Biden: “Unfortunately, it now seems clear that there is no path forward to gain confirmation, and I do not want continued consideration of my nomination to be a distraction from your other priorities.”
It’s a very diplomatic response to what was almost certain a withdrawal by the administration itself. Her toxicity on Twitter and other venues over the years disenfranchised many even among Democrats, though Manchin was the only Democratic Senator to officially pull his support. Democrats had hoped to keep the rest of their caucus and pick up the requisite lone Republican, but that seemed nearly impossible in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, outrage is brewing from the far left as they claim it was “sexism” and “racism” that prevented the Indian-American mother of two from ascending to a high-ranking position in the Biden administration. This is disingenuous as the severity of her “mean Tweets” from the past in which she attacked everyone along the spectrum from Senator Bernie Sanders to Senator Ted Cruz had nothing to do with her race. She was toxic. She has always been toxic. Her claims that she won’t be toxic as OMB director fell on many deaf ears.
Some leftist publications have the nerve to lambaste the decision as a result of whining Republicans plus Joe Manchin being too sensitive to her Tweets. Invariably, these posts barely mention her Tweets, some of which were pretty insulting. There’s a reason she has had to delete thousands of them since her name was first floated for the job. Even she was aware they were going to be a problem, so why are progressive news outlets pretending like moderate and conservative Senators are being too sensitive?
The same people who are condemning others as being too sensitive now spent four years describing President Trump’s Tweets in terms that would make one think he was literally killing puppies every time he sent one out.
Rest assured, had a straight white male with no boxes checked on the intersectionality scorecard said the same things Neera Tanden had said, they too would be ushered out of the OMB nomination. Democrats are gaslighting, as usual.
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.
When preparing for societal collapse, don’t forget the water!
