THE BRANDENBURG GATE
On June 12, 1987 President Ronald Reagan stood in Berlin on the dividing line between east and west. The contrast between free Western Europe and Soviet-dominated Eastern Europe was like day and night. In one of the most memorable and powerful speeches of the modern era, our 40th President spoke the unforgettable words, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
America’s only near-peer adversary and enemy soon crumbled. I would venture to say that if Ronald Reagan had been with us longer, we would not have witnessed the re-emergence of Russian tyranny under Vladimir Putin.
FROM WHENCE THEY CAME
Ronald Reagan had spent the World War II years as a U.S. Army Reserve Officer making training films to help our troops around the world. He internalized the values and the commitment that liberated the world and restored freedom to people in Europe and Asia as well as here at home.
Despite many years in liberal Hollywood, he stood out as a bastion of conservatism amidst a sea of perversity. Anyone who doubted his heart was quickly relieved when Ronald Reagan became President and restored decency and patriotism to our national discourse.
Those of us blessed to be old enough remember so many inspiring heartfelt talks by President Reagan. He constantly honored those who had served, especially those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. He also reminded us of who we are and how we got to be the greatest country on Earth with liberty for all.
But, Ronald Reagan was a man of his day and age. They just don’t make them like him anymore. I really don’t want to dwell upon Joe Biden because you can see for yourself the contrast. While Reagan had a spine of titanium, Biden is more like a wet noodle. The politician from Delaware has never done anything for a higher purpose than his own political and financial ambitions.
THE CONTRAST
First, the biggest difference is in the moral status of our country. Second, it is in international respect or lack thereof. Nobody could ever doubt where Ronald Reagan stood and that he stood firm on his beliefs and convictions. Nor was there ever a doubt that he put America First rather than his own benefits. We don’t need to talk about Ukraine or China or Hunter for you to see the Biden family is in it only for their own interests and not America’s national interests.
Biden was born in 1942, so he is not really even a baby boomer. But he was just a young child and certainly never learned the lessons of World War II either at the time or later on in retrospect. A person of his vintage certainly should know better. He never internalized those lessons from World War II because he was always too self-absorbed to pay attention.
AMERICA HAS ALSO CHANGED
This isn’t just a tale of two American Presidents. It is also the saga of the deterioration of the knowledge and the discernment of the American public. It’s hard to say whether Ronald Reagan could even win an election in 2024 if he was running in our asymmetric political milieu because in the next presidential election, the voters will not be anything like those of 1980 and 1984.
One can only hope that any actual winner of a future election can safeguard it against cyber subversion. That is the first obstacle. But the generation that elected Ronald Reagan is not the generation that has acquiesced to the ascendancy of Joe Biden.
THE REMEDY
We cannot change where our country is headed unless we change ourselves. Elections and the candidates that attain office are a reflection of America’s decline. Joe Biden would have done no better than Walter Mondale against Ronald Reagan in 1984, but if that election were in 2024, the results would not be identical [hypothetically, discounting actual lifespans, just considering the temperature of American voters].
An America that abides a Biden has lost the reality of a Reagan.
Our 40th President understood and applied the lessons of history whereas our 46th President does not. We may see POTUS #47 even before the next election. She is prepped and in the on-deck circle with the bat flailing in every direction.
It starts in the home with parents properly educating their own children. It continues in the schools by taking them back and replacing political agendas with empirical facts, teaching our impressionable children to think objectively and make wise decisions while instilling legitimate scientific definitions of everything from gender to climate.
Unless and until we do that, our future elections will continue to reflect America’s propensity to self-destruct. None of us would have thought such a dramatic change could happen in 35 years as it has between Reagan and Biden. While we focus on 2024, we must not forsake those who will still be around and voting for President in 2056.
BOTTOM LINE
Your progeny are your responsibility and you must not allow a global village to rob you of your right to bring them up in the traditions and values that you cherish, so “start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it (Proverbs 22:6).“
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 have a Giving Fuel 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!
