Hunter Biden’s cocaine story was concocted. It’s believable because nobody, not even Biden supporters, would be surprised to hear that Hunter brought drugs into the White House. He’s a degenerate criminal who films himself committing disgusting acts while knowing there will be no repercussions because he’s protected by a high ranking globalist puppet, his father.

That’s why the spin doctors for the Biden Crime Family decided on this story as the latest one to distract from the massive crimes that are… or should be… getting exposed. Bribes. Influence peddling. Outright treason. The crimes are serious and they go all the way to the top with Joe and Jill. That’s why Hunter’s being used as the scapegoat.

The art of making a story disappear is multifaceted. There isn’t one size that fits all situations. Those who engage in this art in the political realm assess the situation and determine whether they should ignore, deny, or distract. Ignoring is easy. We’ve heard many politicians engaged in minor scandals say they “won’t dignify the accusation by addressing it.”

Denial is the most common tactic. Watch White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in any of her press briefings to see that even the least skilled orators can deny anything with a straight face if they have enough incentive.

Distracting is the option used in worst-case scenarios. When they can’t ignore a story because it’s too big and denying it won’t work because of the weight of evidence, the last resort is to mitigate damage by offering up something juicier while the original story fades away.

As I noted on Twitter:

Hunter Biden’s cocaine is a distraction. It was cooked up by the spin doctors to give conservative commentators and news outlets something to talk about other than actual treason committed by the Biden Crime Family.

Nothing will come from it other than being a “bigger” and “more interesting” scandal as red meat fodder for gullible show hosts.

While everyone’s making a fuss about something that will definitely not result in jail time, the actual crimes against this nation are fading in the background.

I regret using the word “gullible” in the Tweet. It’s not that anyone who wants to talk about Hunter’s cocaine is necessarily gullible. It’s that the story is more enjoyable to talk about AND hear about for conservatives. As someone who absorbs the constant onslaught of political, cultural, and religious news that is predominantly bad, I can understand the need for “lighter” stories. It’s easy and, for some, fun to discuss the idiotic actions of the idiotic son of the idiot installed into the Oval Office by a bunch of idiots.

But here’s the thing, and there’s really no way around this. The Biden Crime Family is in the process of being exposed for treasonous acts both past and present. They took bribes in exchange for influence at the highest levels of American government. While conservative and alternative media are spending time attacking Hunter Biden over cocaine, we’re not alerting the public about the most impeachable crimes ever committed by a president.

The bribery stories (yes, plural) alone are exponentially bigger than Watergate or Trump’s harmless call with Volodymyr Zelensky. Beyond the bribery we have other massive crimes that should be coming to light, but instead we’re being fed story after story after story that are deemed by corporate media as more important than a demonstrably corrupt president. And when corporate media talks about things, most in conservative media pick up on it and “correct” them for not getting the stories right.

Distract. Rinse. Repeat.

Whether it’s aliens or a fake Russian coup, the latest Deep-State-prompted mass shooting or some celebrities getting divorced, there will always be stories popping up one after another that keep us from talking about the things that really matter.

It wasn’t too long ago when cocaine in the White House would be truly newsworthy. Those were simpler times and the stakes were far lower than they are today. As much as I’d love the relief of living in that world again, I feel it’s a blessing to be living in these crazy times instead. We’re all here right now for a reason. Let’s not waste it by consuming the fodder.

Sound off about this story on my Substack.

• En Oh Queue Report
• Noke Report
• No Q Report
• Knock Report
• No Qreport (I can’t even pronounce it that way but a show host pulled it off)
• Naqua Report (like “aqua”)

It also didn’t matter how prominently I’d put “News, Opinions, Quotes” in the logo, description, or meta data. Everyone would still ask what N.O.Q. stood for. Sometimes they’d ask more than once between shows. One prominent show host told his audience it stood for “News, Opinions, Questions.” Another said that I’m an anti-Qanon (No Q).

The bottom line is this: I named my flagship site very, very poorly. I built other sites to mix it up. On top of that, I have a certain paranoia I maintain regarding Big Tech and diverse sourcing. The way I figured it, I would get canceled often (which I did) and so I needed to have multiple sites in order to maintain my revenue. If one got canceled, I wouldn’t get screwed. After all, this isn’t a hobby. This is how I support my family.

I built America First Report with the intention of eventually replacing NOQ Report like the Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride. Over time, I would just keep sending people to America First Report instead of NOQ Reports. Today, I’m happy to say that America First Report has matched NOQ in traffic, and therefore it’s time to make the move.

Before getting to “the move,” here’s the scene from The Princess Bride for reference:

So, the move will play out like this. Today, I’ve redirected the homepage of NOQ Report to America First Report. Those who go to noqreport.com will end up on americafirstreport.com. I don’t want any links to break so the rest of the site will be redirected to its counterpart on the new site over time. I could do this automatically but there’s always something missed, therefore I’m going to do it manually one article at a time. Those who have shared links to NOQ Report shouldn’t have those links broken.

While America First Report will be my main full-length content hub, I’m also building both Discern Report as a news aggregator and Discern TV as a video site. Both will have all the content I’m posting to America First Report plus a whole lot more.

My work with The Liberty Daily will continue, hopefully indefinitely. I don’t own the site but I love it like my own. I also don’t own my Substack, but it has become a very important audience to me because the engagement is so wonderful. Both are true blessings.

My show is returning after a long hiatus on April 24th. That is super-exciting as well.

Lastly, we are now live with Whole Cows selling freeze-dried, sous vide beef cubes for long-term storage. I partnered with a pair of disabled veterans who make the magic happen.

We all fight the good fight in different ways. Mine is to spread the truth any way I can. Hopefully, this won’t be too confusing. As much as I like to make things easy, I sometimes have to take the longer road to make sure I get to the destination.

From the day Donald Trump won the 2016 election all the way until the pandemic lockdowns, conservative media was relegated to cheerleading for Trump and “owning the libs” for their ludicrous attempts to take him down. But while all of that was keeping America divided into two groups — those touting everything Trump did and those who became apoplectic over his very existence — there were ugly challenges rising up in America and abroad. From Cultural Marxists getting bolder to globalist machinations emerging from the shadows, most were too busy to see the seeds of multiple existential threats sprouting to life.

Censorship was shifting from rare to rampant. The phrase “American patriotism” was being redefined as a pejorative. The populist movement that had elected a president was being coopted by grifters much the same way the Tea Party had been corrupted before. Transhumanism was going mainstream. Government was being weaponized, not just against Trump with the two impeachments but against America First patriots across the land. Most importantly, the forces of evil were mobilizing for something that I didn’t start really understanding until the pandemic, then the 2020 election, then everything that has transpired since Joe Biden was placed into the White House.

It became clear to me following the 2020 election that I would not be able to stay on the original course of climbing the conservative media ladder. Once I realized that there were far more conservative news outlets that had become “controlled opposition” than simply Fox News and their ilk, I knew I would never fit into what conservative media had become. I wasn’t going to get a $50 million offer from Daily Wire, nor would I accept it if I did. I wasn’t going to get to speak at CPAC, nor would I want to after learning their trajectory. After spending the early days of this chapter of my life on planes back and forth from Washington DC on a regular basis, I no longer saw a point in trying to find the diamonds in the rough among lawmakers and bureaucrats. You can count on one hand the number of mostly uncorrupted politicians in DC. The solutions to our nation’s problems cannot be found by dwelling at the source of those same problems.

For the last three years, I’ve been trying to establish a voice that cannot be canceled. In doing so, I’ve participated in many endeavors that showed promise. Today, I’m whittling my media presence down to the venues where I have a reasonable expectation that I won’t be filtered or pushed aside for speaking the truth.

In no particular order, those venues are:

• Rumble
• Brighteon
• Red Voice Media
• America Out Loud
• Discern.tv
• Substack
• The Liberty Daily

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be striving to consolidate my various web properties, podcasts, and shows into these seven venues. The only one that I own is Discern.tv where I will be redirecting most of my web properties. This will begin in the form of Discern Report but will expand to other Discern Media properties as they’re built.

As for Red Voice Media and America Out Loud, both have proven to be as unflinching about the truth as I have needed them to be. I am honored to continue putting my daily shows there.

The Liberty Daily is a crucial component of disseminated the news from multiple sources across the web. Being editor has been a true blessing.

As for Substack, it has become my favorite community. There, I will only publish the most important articles and shows, filtering out the less crucial stories which can be found on my other sites.

This is an exciting time for me as I finally feel like the direction forward is clear. We have a nation to fight for, a people to liberate from rising oppression, and a Gospel to spread to an increasingly hostile society. Let’s fight the good fight together.

I’ll be talking about all of this on today’s episode as well as interviewing conservative actor Dean Cain. Check it out at 11am Pacific.

It isn’t just them. Talk radio was once a bastion of American First thought. Lately, it seems that far too many “conservative” show hosts have been echoing the Republican Establishment talking points and opposing America First patriots for the sake of keeping the status quo. We’re seeing that play out in real time during the Speaker of the House battle in Congress as “Team McCarthy” keeps calling on his patriotic opposition to stand down.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I focused on several issues that are being manhandled by conservative media, including the radio silence from right-leaning journalists regarding the stolen elections in Arizona. I also covered 12 things we need to watch in 2023 among other important topics. But the main focus throughout the show was whether or not I should add a new radio-only daily show to run on America Out Loud.

We do well on Rumble, Brighteon, Bitchute, Substack, and other venues but there’s a distinct need for talk radio to expand. By doing a separate show without video, I’ll be able to address issues in a different way. The medium is not dead despite many claiming it is, especially with podcast networks helping to amplify both terrestrial and digital radio shows. That’s why I want people to chime in. Let me know if this is a good idea.

As editor at The Liberty Daily, I go through news feeds that include over 250 conservative and alternative news sources. I read every headline and tons of stories every day. This gives me a unique insight into the conservative media zeitgeist and I must admit I haven’t been impressed lately. While we have 10 million visitors a month at TLD, I still want to do much more. That’s why I also launched Discern Report. The Liberty Daily is the “conservative alternative to Drudge Report.” Discern Report is more like Revolver News, where Darren Beattie does a fabulous job with fewer stories than TLD. Both styles are desperately needed and more Americans need to access them.

By going with a radio-only show on top of my regular daily show, I’ll hopefully be better able to break into more terrestrial radio stations. We are currently negotiating to put the show on three stations in Tennessee as well as one in northern California. Whether it’s me or someone else, the old guard of conservative media needs to be replaced for the most part. Far too many American First patriots are still stuck with too few choices. They’re forced to take in lukewarm conservativism from bombastic news outlets that are somehow able to be loud and milquetoast simultaneously. We need more voices, and I’m willing to volunteer mine.

Please let me know what you think. If enough people call for it, we’ll do it.

We’re still trying. We had some good news the last couple of days with many people reaching out following my interview with Leo Donofrio. Arizona is a hotbed for some of the worst voter fraud that took place this election and the pathway he described might be the best one I’ve heard so far. Various candidate representatives have reached out, as well as independent attorneys and concerned citizens. I’ll update on that front as soon as more information is known.

We can point at Democrats, election officials, RINOs, and foreign players and try to bring about the appropriate consequences, but one of the things I am going to focus on is holding conservative and alternative media accountable. There are far too many who are trying to blame the failed red tsunami on anything OTHER THAN massive, widespread voter fraud. This is unacceptable. I’m not just talking about Fox News or Newsmax. I’m referring to other small, medium, and large conservative outlets and individual journalists who are either in denial (doubtful), being bullied (probable), or getting otherwise coerced (possible) into blaming this on abortion, MAGA, student debt relief, or any other reason.

The elections were stolen. Period. I’ll keep hammering that point home even if it gets me canceled even more than I’ve already been thus far.

The reason many of the heroes of conservative media are unwilling to say the elections we stolen is because doing so can get them blacklisted by the Big Tech platforms they’re beholden to for popularity or profit. Anyone who has a popular YouTube channel, radio show, Facebook page, or who relies on Google ads or Facebook traffic has been told to NOT say “stolen elections.” They cannot call out massive, widespread voter fraud as the singular cause of the feeble red droplet that replaced the red tsunami.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I dove into why and how conservative media outlets are ignoring the truth. They’re gaslighting us for a wide variety of reasons, not the least of which is that many are in bed with the Republican Establishment. People like Mitch McConnell and his cronies did not want a red tsunami unless they had fellow RINOs as the winning candidates. They wanted the status quo of the Uniparty Swamp and that means more of what we’ve been seeing the last two years.

I also spoke to Ira Bershatsky, Our Gold Guy, about what all this means for the future of the economy.

I concluded by explaining why I am accelerating Discern.tv. The intention was to launch it on Roku and other television platforms early next year. That intention was based on my naïve assumption that there would be a significant red wave if not a full-blown red tsunami. Now that we are sitting in a red puddle and watching most in conservative media already changing the subject to 2024, I’m moving up my timeline to this week or next for launch. It won’t be on the television networks, but the site is necessary to get the ball rolling for disseminating the truth.

We’re at war. Or to be more accurate, the powers-that-be are at war with us. Until conservative influencers acknowledge this, we’ll keep bringing pebbles to a nuclear battle. The powers-that-be are playing for keeps while most in conservative media are playing for pageviews and profits.

Here’s the show.

Look around you. Something very wrong is happening to our nation. It’s as if most Americans are lost and the people who are supposed to be helping them find their way are leading us toward oblivion. It’s not just government. It’s media. It’s Big Tech. It’s doctors. It’s clergy. The vast majority of political, cultural, and spiritual leaders in this nation are either oblivious to the real challenges we’re facing or they’re willfully conspiring to bring our nation down.

There are plenty of excuses we can make and villains at which we can point our fingers. We can blame Covid. We can blame Democrats. We can blame globalists, climate change fearmongers, or groomers. We can blame China or Russia. We can blame bad policies, stolen elections, or tough luck. But at the end of the day this is OUR nation and WE must take responsibility for the disastrous direction we are be heading.

My name is JD Rucker, and I’m done with simply pointing fingers.

I am a Christian. I’m a husband and a dad. I’m an America First patriot born abroad who came to this nation legally. I’ve always voted for Republicans, but there are more members of the GOP that I wouldn’t support today than those that I would. The Republican Establishment is a big part of the problem.

I’m a journalist, though I’m reluctant to admit that considering how corporate media has tarnished the profession. I became a journalist to help bring the truth to light, but I’ve found that I am the exception to the rule in today’s corrupted and oftentimes radical media landscape. Everyone with a newsroom and corporate money backing them is propagandizing the agenda du jour that their puppet-masters instruct them to regurgitate.

We need better and we need it now. We need to expect more from the supposed “good guys” in media, the ones who are patriotic, the ones who love this nation. We need to expect more from Christian media as well. It seems many have either gone “woke” or they’re no longer willing to speak the Biblical truth for fear of being canceled.

This nation and this planet face more existential threats than we’ve ever faced. Even during World War II when 80 million people died, there was hope that if the enemy could be defeated, then normalcy could return. Today, we’re having a hard time identifying exactly who the enemy is and we do not have a clear picture of the plans they have for the world. We have ideas. We can look at Klaus Schwab, Barack Obama, George Soros, Bill Gates, and others who seem bent on depopulation and seizing complete control over those who remain. At this stage, I’m not even sure if the known powers-that-be are really at the top of the food chain of evil. Are they answering directly to Satan? Are there principalities and powers who are managing them? We do not know for certain, though we have a pretty good idea that the forces behind The Great Reset and other machinations are demonic in nature.

Some will tell me that I go too far with my accusations, but I often think I don’t go far enough. Evil must be called out for what it is. Do I believe those grooming children to enter the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle are just misguided, or do I think they’re evil? Anyone who has read or heard my feelings on the topic before knows that I consider it to be driven by pure evil. These groomers want to separate people from their connection with God and hitting them at as early of an age as possible is the path of least resistance. If they can convince a young boy that he’s actually just a girl in a male body, they can convince that young boy that God either made a mistake when He created him, or there is no God at all. That’s the ultimate goal of those driving the LBGTQIA+ supremacy agenda. So, no, I do not think they are simply misguided. I believe they are driven by evil whether they realize it or not.

That’s just one example. We can look at the Covid agenda, the stolen 2020 election, climate change hysteria, the massive invasion at our southern border, manufactured food shortages, attacks on energy infrastructure, the intentional decimation of our economy, or any of a dozen other grotesque threats to western society and realize that evil abounds. Perhaps it always has and we just weren’t paying enough attention. Or, perhaps they’re ramping things up for a culmination that may or may not be Biblical in nature.

Saying such things in today’s media landscape is anathema. This is why even conservative and Christian media often go soft on such topics. They oppose them in safe ways as they attempt to paint the threats within the guidelines set forth by Google, Facebook, fact-checkers, and their corporate sponsors, but they do not call evil for what it is. They dance around the core problem like it’s a landmine that will blow their careers to smithereens if they get too close to the truth.

The greatest weapon being wielded by radical leftists today is not their control over the White House and Congress. It’s not their control over corporate media or Big Tech. It’s not even their ability to break their own rules without risking being called out by anyone. No, their greatest weapon is invoking the nebulous phrase “hate speech” against anyone they disagree with them and any argument that opposes their ideology.

This is why we’re building Discern.tv and a network of media properties that can, Lord willing, be resistant if not immune to the evils of cancel culture, censorship, and restrictions that permeate the current media landscape. We will not have a Facebook page or a YouTube channel. What’s the point when the content we publish will be instantly removed and our accounts will be quickly banned? We will not run Google ads, buy traffic through Big Tech platforms, or have apps on Apple or Android. This is important because keeping our network off of the various censorship platforms will give us the freedom to speak the truth without framing it in the guidelines set forth by radical progressives in Big Tech.

The best-kept secret in conservative and Christian media is that most are beholden in multiple ways to the very people who hate patriots and American freedoms. Google ads are by far the most lucrative but they will not allow their ads on sites that speak the truth about important topics. Facebook is by far the best traffic-driver for most media sites but they will censor news outlets who post “misinformation” like the vaccines are neither safe nor effective or the 2020 election was rigged. Android and Apple won’t allow apps that do not self-censor; even mentioning the words “groomer” or “climate change hoax” can get a popular app suspended or removed from the app stores.

If you’ve ever wondered why top players in conservative and Christian media seem milquetoast on certain topics, this is it. They can’t risk getting booted from Google, Apple, or Facebook teats.

The Discern Media Network will operate without being beholden to those who hate us. We already know they’ll come after us and we’re doing everything we can to build the network with no connections that are likely to be censored or cancelled. The powers-that-be are trying to keep the truth from coming to light on multiple fronts. This is why I am doing my fundraising for the project on GiveSendGo. We wouldn’t last a week on GoFundMe, Patreon, or any of the other woke crowdfunding platforms.

There’s a quote that is often misattributed to George Orwell, likely because it sounds like something he would have said. “In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” We are there. This is a time of universal deceit.

We cannot abide by the plans of politicians to help with society’s recovery when they are the ones who created the very problems we’re facing.

We cannot tune in to the self-appointed arbiters of truth in corporate media because their reports are tilted toward the agenda they’ve been instructed to promote.

We cannot trust doctors who tell us the so-called “vaccines” are safe and effective when all the evidence says they’re neither.

We cannot let our children be taught by teachers or professors who believe everything must be learned through the lens of social justice.

We cannot listen to clergy who are reticent to preach about the many parts of the Bible that aren’t woke enough for modern progressive sensibilities.

And unfortunately, we cannot keep getting our news from conservative or Christian media companies who bow to Google, Facebook, Apple, fact-checkers, and their other overlords in Big Tech and corporate media.

Lies are everywhere, which means liars are everywhere. So when I say we are in a time of universal deceit, that is not hyperbole. And when I say that telling the truth is a revolutionary act, it’s because the only way for the truth to come to light is through bold actions that would put us at risk of cancellation. Nobody ever said a revolution would be easy.

To those of you listening who are Bible-believing Christians, I know you’re probably seeing what I’m seeing. While the world devolves into chaos and embraces the evil that is being presented to us, many in the church as well as those in Christian media are playing it safe. They’re doing everything they can to not make people upset at a time when we need to get in people’s faces if necessary. While the noise of the world gets louder, those who are supposed to be sharing the Gospel are letting their voices get softer and softer.

Today, we need one thing more than anything else. We need discernment. The enemies we see aren’t necessarily the enemies we really fight. The events that are taking place across the street and around the globe are all leading toward a culminating event. Whether that’s implementation of The Great Reset or something even worse, we cannot know for sure. Not yet. We do, however, know that we must fight it with everything we’ve got.

I am not a politician. I am not a pastor. I am not the leader of the revolution that we need in order to fight back against the pervasive evil of this world. But I am a journalist, so it’s no surprise that the way I’ve chosen to fight the good fight is by launching a media network designed to operate outside of the constraints of cancel culture. I need help. Please spread the word. If you have the means, we are looking for donors and even investors. Please contact me at jdrucker.com/talk or contribute what you can at givesendgo.com/jdrucker.

Let’s start a revolution, a revolution of truth.

Thank you, and God bless.
