If society collapses, do you have the medical supplies you need? Check out “The Medic,” or as I like to call it, the Big Daddy of first aid kits.
For over a year, scientists have debated the efficacy of closing down businesses or limiting capacity to stave off Covid-19 infections. Meanwhile, other scientists have debated the efficacy of face masks with seemingly no difference in infection rates between states that do or do not mandate them. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has officially sided with scientists who want the economy—and our lives—opened back up.
BREAKING: The governor of the FREE STATE of TEXAS has announced that masks are no longer required in Texas and all businesses can open at 100% capacity.

In an executive move on Tuesday, Abbott called on the people of Texas to continue to operate safely but without forced restrictions from government. He has lifted face mask mandates and is allowing businesses to open up to 100% capacity. But he still cautioned that safety measures not mandated by government should still be followed.
“People and businesses don’t need the state telling them how to operate,” Abbott said. “Texas is in a far better position now than when I issued my last executive order back in October. Now, Texans have mastered the daily habits to avoid getting COVID.”
Abbott, who has been vaccinated for Covid-19, also touted the state’s rollout of vaccines. “Today Texas will report a new one day record for the number of people receiving vaccines—more than 216,000,” he Tweeted. “We are now providing more than 1 million Vaccines a week. This is a big reason why hospitalizations are at the lowest level in four months. Always voluntary.”

Many, particularly conservatives, have warned that mandates based solely on healthcare recommendations do not take into account the economic and psychological tolls on citizens. Since “15 Days to Slow the Spread” was launched nearly a year ago, there have been sharp increases in clinical depression, drug overdoses, and suicides.
“It is now time to open Texas 100%,” he said. “Every business that wants to be open should be open.”
This is about choice. Lifting mandates does not mean people will be forced to venture forth without masks or open up their businesses willy-nilly. In Texas, the people can now choose their personal level of Covid caution.
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!
