Many are struggling in this economy. My family is among them. Please support what we’re doing here and help us to continue to spread the truth Americans need to read and hear.
When it comes to making news and dropping press releases, there are certain rules regarding the days of the week they’re dropped. Big economic or policy news that governments or companies want everyone talking about for the whole week are dropped Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday are for “quick hit” releases that should be in the news cycle for a day or two before fading away. As for Friday, that’s when you drop things you want to be forgotten about over the weekend.
On Friday, Joe Biden signed an executive order that is getting infuriatingly little press and next to no pushback from the GOP. Hopefully, outrage will pick up steam starting Monday because it represents one of the greatest threats to our government, and while I’m not one who ever supports government’s questionable grasp of power, this particular threat is a plague that could topple the entirety of our system from the inside.
First, the background. According to The Daily Caller:
Joe Biden signed an executive order on Friday that ensures that every part of the federal government will conduct race-conscious diversity training and engage in race-conscious hiring.
The executive order “establishes an ambitious, whole-of-government initiative that will take a systematic approach to embedding DEIA [diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility] in Federal hiring and employment practices,” according to a White House fact sheet. In practice, it will ensure that federal agencies employ tenets associated with Critical Race Theory (CRT) within their hiring practices and day-to-day activities.

CRT holds that America is fundamentally racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.
The executive order directs federal agencies to “develop strategic plans to eliminate any barriers to success faced by under-served employees.” This will be felt through federal hiring, which will prioritize “communities that have historically faced employment discrimination and professional barriers, including people of color, women, first-generation professionals and immigrants, individuals with disabilities, [and] LGBTQ+ individuals.”
Let’s set aside my obligatory Critical Race Theory rant for now. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you are already informed enough to recognize that Critical Race Theory is an abomination that runs contrary to the true anti-racism tenets our nation has been increasingly embracing for the last six decades. We were becoming more color-blind and the righteous protections against discrimination were taking hold.
Don’t wait until food shortages get REALLY bad before stocking up. Get a three-month’s supply now while it’s still available.
Now, this administration with the help of woke mainstream media and the leftist extremists who control academia have engaged in reversing discrimination across the board. That’s nothing new. But this executive order comes just short of codifying mandatory racism within the offices of government itself. Given enough time, this can and almost certainly will destroy our government from within.
Here’s the stark reality that is absolutely unquestionable regardless of one’s perspective on Critical Race Theory: The best way to operate a government, business, or organization is to put the best people in the right positions regardless of race, gender, religion, or any other intersectional classifications. If we hire the most qualified and skilled person for each individual position, we will have the best chance for success in any group endeavor.
Imagine if this type of “race-conscious” training was applied to the NBA. Instead of teams being able to take the best players available to them and put them on the floor, what if they were forced to engage in “diverse” and “race-conscious” hiring practices? They would need to match the racial demographics of either their city or the nation as a whole, which means they would need their teams to be made up of a certain number of White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American players.
Of course, the division between the NBA and the WNBA is itself a diversity-killer. It’s not woke to say only men can play in this league and only women can play in that league, so the leagues would need to be merged. And since there are more women in America than men, not to mention that women are a protected “minority” despite being a majority, each team would have to be comprised of mostly women. But that’s not enough. Having different races and women comprising over half of the team is a start, but for proper equity the protected classes would need to be among the starters and receive playing time equal to or greater than others who may be more skilled.
One does not have to be a basketball fan to realize this would not make the NBA stronger. It would not make the games better nor would it deliver to the fans the teams they’d want on the court. Forced diversity based on race-conscious mandates would destroy the NBA because fans want to see the best players against the best players. That’s what makes the NBA work.
This is an extreme example that plays out in similar fashion regardless of whether it’s the NBA, a woke business, or the United States government. Do we want someone managing a CIA team who knows best how to operate the mission or do we want someone who is there as a diversity hire? Do we want the most qualified people planning out distribution and logistics of the upcoming infrastructure bill or do we want less-qualified but more diverse leaders choosing how to fix our roads? The answer to these and pretty much every similar question should be that we want the most qualified and skilled people filling the positions appropriately.
Given enough time, this executive order will cause the systematic deterioration of our government. Instead of being “race-conscious,” we should hire the best people regardless of race, gender, religion, or anything else.
Our government is already extraordinarily inefficient and monumentally corrupt. We have a hard enough time getting the best people in the right places without being forced to make “race-conscious” hiring decisions.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
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 and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
