For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Thomas Bergersen of Two Steps From Hell, titled ‘High C’s’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: Is a gigantic Tree, sitting on a hill in the middle of a group of buildings and homes. The Tree reaches up into the sky, it’s branches forming an enormous canopy. Underneath the canopy, there is a bright glow shining up from within the Tree. The canopy of the tree stretches out over all the structures below. Second Image: Is a rounded doorway at the top of a stone stairway, built into the base of an enormous Tree. The doors are glass and there is a bright glow coming from beyond the doors. There are plants, vines and vegetation on either side of the stone steps. Third Image: Is an open room with comfy-looking futons, a fluffy throw rug and large throw pillows on a gleaming wooden floor. There are glowing lanterns positioned around on the floor. Fourth Image: Is President Trump walking outdoors, with two secret service agents behind him. He is holding up his left arm out to his side, giving a wave with his hand.

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Y’all
“Y’all” is a contraction of two words, that has been around longer than most people realize.
These days, we think of it as a contraction of the words ‘You’ and ‘All’.
But it dates back to a contraction of Ye and All, from the Old English that our Scots-Irish ancestors brought over with them.
Used in a sentence:
Ye all will perish if we listen to the lay-about fools who tell us that we should all share in the fruits of each others’ labours.

Today is Presidents Day.
Presidents Day is celebrated on the 3rd Monday of February, and started out as a holiday for Washington’s Birthday on February 22nd, established in 1885.
Then, some states added a holiday for Lincoln’s Birthday on February 12th.
In 1968, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was passed and went into effect in 1971, which combined the two birthday holidays.
There is some confusion, however, as to whether or not an apostrophe should be used after “Presidents”…because we see it both ways, and even before the ‘s’.
I don’t know which way is the proper way…but I don’t consider this guy to be in with the Presidents who are celebrated.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Found this…and thought I would post it for our Wolfie:
PUBLIC THREAD: Because this is meant for public consumption, I will refrain from the usual colorful language of our work threads, where I normally don’t give a damn. I want people in Washington to see this article with NO EXCUSES to look away.
Consider this article a terrorist device – an information land-mine – which I have placed INSIDE the Washington Monument, up near the top, from where its DEADLY SAVING RAYS will pass harmlessly through all TRUTH-TELLERS and will BURN LIARS, SCOUNDRELS, and SEDITION-ASSISTING FAKE NEWS JOURNALISTS.
It’s on, brothers and sisters. I say as I listen to the choppers outside my window, somewhat earlier than usual.
If you have not followed my initial outrage at Andy McCabe getting “no charges” for lying to the OIG, or the slow “coming to realization” over three more decreasingly outraged and increasingly savvy posts, then here you go – follow my schooling in the construction of information terror devices:
Within these posts, there is critical information from SUNDANCE over at The Conservative Treehouse. However, there is NEWER information from Sundance which is even MORE helpful to understand where I’m at right now.
I believe it is EXTREMELY USEFUL to read this Sundance post, in order to put the big picture together. Sundance and I are seeing the same reality from two different vantage points. Once you understand it all, Sundance ends with a very helpful metaphor for the current situation.
Please read it NOW, and then I will restate the metaphor for your convenience.
(Full Stop – read the Sundance piece, linked above.)
Here is the metaphor / prophecy / orders from Trump transcribed by Sundance / whatever:
The seditious group filled the DOJ fire truck tanks with gasoline, and then they lit the House on fire. General Flynn is trapped on the roof…. The neighborhood is shouting at fire Chief Barr “put out the fucking fire you idiots“, and wondering why everyone is just watching the House burn. Meanwhile, there’s several firefighters who know what’s in the tanks, and they are standing, smiling, hoses at the ready, cheering-on the angry shouts from the crowd…
[pot-stirring tweet by Devil N. Barrett – i.e., this guy is one of the arsonist FAKE firefighters]
[two Trump tweets breaking out the Zippo – i.e., justice is coming, FAKE NEWS]
President Trump says: Point the compromised firehoses at the smiling firefighters while making them hold the Zippo’s… then watch what happens.
The only way I can see out of this mess; the one crack in the current lock box; is the FISA court order for the DOJ to present the identified downstream consequences from fraud upon the court. The FISC might actually be the ladder truck here. With the DOJ and FBI currently assembling the investigative consequences, ie. the sequestration material, Flynn’s current legal status might be identified as an outcropping of fraudulently obtained FISA warrants.
Let’s hope those on the sequestration mission can return the information prior to the flames reaching the roof…
Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse
SO – if you’re following all that, and not “playing stupid” like a typical lefty journalist, and not afraid to talk in a bit of “Q lingo”, then you realize that what Sundance is describing is remarkably similar to “The Plan”. But I’m starting to agree with Sundance that we should not simply “rely” on The Plan. In fact, we may find it prudent to MAKE OUR OWN PLANS – if only because INDEPENDENCE is being taught to us again.
Now – having been sent on a bit of an emotional “ride” by the Soviet Fake News, which published information about McCabe WALKING, but without stating the OBVIOUS REASON, I have chosen to extract my payback by rubbing the Pinocchio nose of the Fake News in THAT OBVIOUS REASON.
If you have been following our WORKING THREADS here, then you, too, know the obvious reason.
McCabe drops his suit against FBI and DOJ
almost at the same time, Barr announces that Durham is now a CRIMINAL investigation
later, DOJ announces no charges or further legal action against McCabe
Now, before I GO THERE, I want to first thank fellow Q Tree denizen trumpismine for a link to information which explained much of the FIRST two items in the list. I also want to thank three of the many people on this site – JasonD, michaelh, and Gail Combs – who proved very strongly that the DOJ has an irrefutable CASE against McCabe – that guidelines clearly call for charges.
So HERE is where we get into the meat of our accusation against the mainstream media.
We all know that the [recused] Sessions DOJ tried strongly to not only plug leaks, but to punish leaks, and to prevent new ones – and ultimately they did. The Rosenstein-Liu DOJ – not so much, with the James Wolfe leak going unpunished and covered up. Otherwise, a pretty tight ship.
But next to AG Barr, these previous DOJs look like SIEVES. AG Barr and Director Wray have PROVEN that they can keep a strong lid on investigations. Whatever you might think of these two, they have brought back the GOLD STANDARD of the old DOJ-FBI in terms of keeping ongoing investigations on the DOWN LOW. If you don’t respect it, you’re not paying attention.
This means, quite simply, that the reason we are not hearing leaks about “things” going on inside DOJ and FBI, is almost with complete certainty because they are running a TIGHT SHIP once again.
SO – IN THAT CONTEXT – if you combine the mysterious three items in the list above – [ 1 + 1 + 1 ] – there is no question what the answer is.
McCABE TOOK A DEAL.
And we’re not talking about a “deal” that involves getting an extra scoop of ice cream at a White House function. We’re talking about TALKING.
Let me spell this out so that even a CIA embed at the Washington Post like GUILTY SPYGATE HACK Devil N. Barrett can understand this.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe is testifying against his superiors and others:
certainly James Comey
likely Loretta Lynch
probably John Brennan
certainly White House officials (remember Page/Strzok texts)
possibly Congressional aides
certainly the media contacts who understood the falsehoods being promoted
Oh, wait – wasn’t there some conspiracy theory about this called “QAnon” or something?
SHEESH!
Look, friends. It is ONE THING for us to sit here and talk amongst ourselves about all this stuff, but as far as I’m concerned, that is OVER. The FAKE NEWS trolled us with “McCabe No Charges”, when THEY KNEW THE TRUTH AND HID IT.
So now it’s time to take our ORDERS from TRUMP, as TRANSMITTED and TRANSLATED by Sundance:
President Trump says: Point the compromised firehoses at the smiling firefighters while making them hold the Zippo’s… then watch what happens.
Sundance
So that is what I’m doing. It is time to make these Fake News Bastards (whoops, sorry) print the truth about what is happening in SpyGate.
I mean, you wouldn’t want to drop this meme on Devil N. Barrett’s timeline.
Or this one:
Or especially this one:
Here’s to you, Ratseclisa. NOW I understand why I accidentally named you that.
W
PS – all of the above is stated CONFIDENTLY despite THIS BULLSHIT PSY-OP fed through Andrew McCarthy of the National Review to the contrary (and also laughingly at the last minute):
Yeah, right, you stupid hack footstool-bearer of Trotskyist pseudo-cons. SPARE ME. Don’t give me that complicated, hand-wringing, bu-bu-bu-bu-bu…. bullshit. Tell your idiot berg-bosses that STALINSKY and her COUP CREW still have an ice pick for them. GROW UP!
For you, Deep State Coup plotters, it’s TOO LATE. No more lies. You coup plotters are going DOWN. Your desperation is showing. Now you must LIVE YOUR FEAR OUT IN THE OPEN.
And for YOU, Media Muffins, there is NO MORE RESPECT as long as you are FAKE NEWS. Start telling the truth or GO DOWN WITH THE COUP.
WARNING: Do not post on this thread unless you are addressing the purpose of the thread. All other responses will be sent to trash. No rah-rah, no Eeyore, no praise, no prayers, no Q (OK – we need a little on this one), no “[whatever] Trust [whatever]”, no whatever. Take it back to the Open Thread.
Highly general background responses linking things to the Roths and Freemasons are not helpful – UNLESS they put some communist Democrat DOJ prosecutor with a NAME in jail. Memberships are useful. Connections are useful. THAT’S what we need.
Also discounting of the effectiveness of this process is an instaban. We don’t need that shit. Go home to mommy. But just for a day.
Are we clear? Good.
PURPOSE: This thread is my best current theory on why DOJ had to let McCabe off.
Thanks to poster [trumpismine] for the documents which tipped me off to part of the basis of the theory.
TL;DR: McCabe is SES. For some reason, we rushed his departure, potentially violating SES protocols in what was undoubtedly a calculated-downside move. This opening was then used by McCabe to threaten DOJ with discovery they did not want, about McCabe’s more serious crimes, which would be required to justify the termination. Rather than tip our hand to the black hats, we let McCabe skate.
Please note that I am not able to read all comments to me, and may miss yours. We are going to move fast now – don’t assume I read your comments unless you actually get a LIKE or a REPLY from me. If neither, I probably didn’t see it. Like I said, we’re moving to warp speed. Drop it again if I need to see it, but it better be good. -W
It’s important to go read that link – it’s short. After you understand that we basically short-changed the SES “you simply cannot get rid of these fuckers” process, you will see this paragraph regarding McCabe attorney Michael “Dead Eyes” Bromwich:
In the words of Michael R. Bromwich, then-counsel for McCabe, the timeline for McCabe’s termination “was nothing short of extraordinary,” given that the process normally takes “many months, if not longer” yet here “was completed in 23 days.” McCabe and others have suggested he was targeted for his participation in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s then-ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. In August of this year, McCabe sued the DOJ and FBI over his firing, accusing the agencies of bowing to political pressure from President Trump and forgoing required internal processes in order to expedite his dismissal.
Note that in a PRIOR paragraph, justifying this firing in defense of the lawsuit filed by McCabe and Bromwich against DOJ and FBI would have required detailing a more significant crime:
Key findings
According to documents provided in this latest release, senior agency officials like McCabe are entitled to 30 days of advance notice prior to being terminated. The only exception appears to be where there is “reasonable cause to believe the employee has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment can be imposed[.]” The stated reasons for terminating McCabe do not involve such a crime, making this exception inapplicable here.
Thus, we see that McCabe had leverage on improper termination. Leverage with a specific nasty payload for the secretive Q team. This means that McCabe likely got a deal not [just] for cooperating, but [also] for dropping his lawsuit.
WHICH HE DID.
Breaking: Fired FBI Andrew McCabe Suddenly Drops Wrongful Termination Case Against DOJ
This comes after it was announced Thursday that Attorney General Bill Barr announced the John Durham probe is now a criminal investigation.
So we’re already seeing the connection to Durham here. I’ve gotta say, if Durham is FAKE and a PLANNED PUNT, they’re doing a hell of a job to fool us. But like I said elsewhere, that would be the exact same ploy they pulled on us in “shallow state”. I mean, we’re talking about an entire FAKE massive initiative. ALL FAKE. Thousands of people FOOLED.
Now – here is where it gets interesting. Bromwich alleges (of course) that the timing on the McCabe firing was POLITICAL. Sundance has even more details here. In my opinion, that’s an EXCELLENT THREAT, but it’s a falsehood that both sides understand, since the POLITICS OF SUCCESS are downstream from DUTY FULFILLED, and as long as duty is fulfilled, accrued political benefits (or liabilities) are utterly justifiable. Any accusation of political motive is like accusing a pregnant woman of simply wanting to get fat.
So DUTY justifies POLITICAL OUTCOME. What duty is that? – you might ask.
The duty of a deniable military schedule. McCabe needed firing for “Q-level” reasons. Bromwich knows this, but because of the left’s positioning on “Q”, he is every bit as unable to speak of it as are Sessions, Rosenstein or Barr. So the “threat” of political motive stands unopposed, by design. Note that Cankles does this all the time – this pinning of others against their secret obligations. It seems like a specialty of the left.
SO – does this let DOJ and FBI off the hook for cutting a deal with McCabe?
Maybe – if this theory is correct. But again – it’s just a theory. I have other theories, and they are not so happy, and much stronger now. After the Obama Deception, I’m all out of waiting for the end of the movie to figure out the plot.
Yes, great actors make a great movie. But so does a smart audience.
Get your popcorn now, during intermission. I can safely predict, you’re gonna need more.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Fearless Motivation, titled ‘Persistence’:
Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: A young lady warrior is standing in a field of tall grasses, looking over her shoulder at us. Behind her in the distance, an enormous Tree dominates the landscape. Her long white hair and the tall grasses, are blowing in the wind. Her dark green velvet embroidered tunic has a band of metal armor at the hips, which comes to a V in the front and back. She has metal armor on her shoulders and forearm, and the wind is blowing the long dark green cape that is attached at her shoulders. She is holding a sword in her right hand and in her left hand is a round metal object that appears to be giving off a soft blue glow.
The enormous Tree is in the valley below her and there are gigantic arched structures built into the side of it’s trunk. White birds are flying out from the Tree, towards us. A few small structures dot the landscape around the base of the Tree, along with a forest of smaller trees. Beyond the valley, there are rays of the sun casting light on the Tree and the warrior, as the sun emerges from a distant mountain range. There are white clouds moving through a blue sky. Second Image: A stone pathway leads up to tall double doors, built into the side of an enormous tree trunk. The doors are arched and covered in ornate carvings. There are a few small points of light in the doors, giving off a slight blue glow. Rays of sunlight illuminate the path in front of the doors. Third Image: Is an interior room with vaulted ceilings and arched throughways. There is a sturdy-looking couch with throw pillows and nearby armchairs. Behind the couch is a table and chairs…and there are additional seating groups in the adjacent spaces. Fourth Image: Is President Trump, looking forward towards us, with a determined, serious look on his face. He bears the mark of command on his brow.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from DTD Music, titled ‘Faith To Believe’:
A ‘miasma’ is a noxious, toxic atmosphere or exhalation. It was thought that a poisonous ‘miasma’ would rise from swamps and putrid, decaying matter, that would cause disease.
‘Miasma’ comes from the ancient Greek word for “pollution”, a noxious form of “bad air”.
Used in a sentence:
The leftist Enemedia spews forth a miasma of nastiness, lies and false narratives.
Or:
Areas under Democrat control exude a miasma of despair and decay, from poverty, unemployment and machinery lying idle.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header Image: Is an enormous Tree in a forest clearing, with rays of light illuminating the base and the path leading up to it. There are large lighted windows in the massive trunk and a spiral rampway that winds around the exterior. A large gazebo sits on the forest floor beside the base of the Tree. The path to the Tree goes over an arched bridge across a nearby stream. Second Image: Is an interior room with a high ceiling and a large stone fireplace. There is an open sided sleigh couch with throw pillows and a fuzzy throw. There are stuffed chairs nearby and a coffee table. A staircase made of logs and large branches is on one side of the room. Third Image: Is a view of President Trump’s profile. The wind is in his hair and he has a solemn, determined look on his face.

A poltroon is a craven and dastardly coward, devoid of any spirit or courage.
The word ‘poltroon’ has been around since the 16th century and was also used to describe a lazy, idle sluggard, or a devious mean-spirited wretch.
‘Poltroon’ is said to be derived from the Latin word pullus, which meant young animal or chick…and is thought to be the origin of calling someone “chicken” for being cowardly.
Used in a sentence:
The perfidious poltroon, Adam Schiff, should be prosecuted for the lies he has told the American people.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful:
Header Image: Is a massive Tree growing up out of a deep canyon; the base of which has an intricate internal structure of several floors of large rooms with arched openings and long windows. A soft light is shining out from them. There are two suspended pathways, leading to the base of the Tree on opposite sides of the canyon.
There are streams of water falling magically off of the huge leafed-out branches of the Tree…cascading down into the canyon below. It’s as though the Tree itself, is the source of the water. The sides of the canyon are covered in lush, verdant tree growth…but none are as massive as the Tree growing up from the canyon. Second Image: Is a cozy interior view of a stairway against the wall leading down into a large area with overstuffed chairs, a couch and soft lighting. There is a bannister made of winding tree branches. Throw pillows and throw rugs add to the comfy atmosphere. Third Image: Is President Trump with a solemn look of resolve on his face.
If you actually look at Drudge any more – if you can stomach the relentless negativity – you can see that it’s simply not the same.
Or later…..
And of course with the “Heroic Bernie” artwork you will see below.
There is some interesting history on the downfall of the Drudge Report, which may explain things. Once you hear this stuff, you will realize that there is NO HOPE for the Drudge Report.
Indeed, I regret to inform you that the DRUDGE REPORT is DEAD.
You are hereby STRONGLY ADVISED to FIND A REPLACEMENT. And WE are going to HELP.
Hey, it’s not like I’m the only person who noticed…..
What’s Going on With Drudge? Rasmussen Claims ‘Matt’s Not There Anymore…Word Is He Sold’
One can even go back to the late 2018 and see that an author at the wonderful site Fellowship of the Minds could see something was VERY WRONG over at Drudge Report.
Now – a third piece (link also below) was published still later, and it is the biggie. Note that all three of these were published AFTER Fellowship Of The Minds was TAKEN DOWN by WordPress, before being restored later, without apology, and with total damage to most if not all previous links.
In the third post, Dr. Eowyn of FOTM recalled the site history on Drudge, and put together a fascinating timeline. This timeline points out that prior to FOTM being taken down, Eowyn had noted the problems with Drudge, only to be suddenly abusively attacked by a previously sugary poster who denied any such change in Drudge’s site. Let’s just say that it sure seems like a “ROLCON” taking action to me.
I believe that I may have even been one of the commenters who left a rare comment on one of the two earlier FOTM articles on Drudge, which Eowyn mentions in the THIRD article, regarding rumors that Drudge had a new left-leaning boyfriend.
It turns out that Eowyn investigated this claim, and found what appears to be some sort of relationship change which happened around or before January 2016.
A couple of our readers speculated that Matt Drudge turned to the dark side because he’s gay and has a new boyfriend. The never-married and childless Drudge has consistently denied the rumors of him being homosexual, but in January 2016, Southfloridagaynews.com reported that he had given away half of his real estate holdings to Juan Carlos Alvarado, his roommate of eleven years.
THIS then figures into some kind of combined BUSINESS PLUS FAMILY relationship change, which Eowyn discovered in the following article and the video it references. You can read about it in the FOTM piece, the article below, or just check out the video.
The bottom line here is that PERSONAL CHANGES in Matt Drudge’s life brought him back into the company of leftists and Democrats, so that is very likely a factor, in addition to BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP CHANGES.
Allow me to dump some links that are helpful for getting even finer details:
Now – there is ONE OTHER LINK that I think is VERY critical to look at. I believe that this connects to Dr. Eowyn’s earliest observations that Matt Drudge was getting “wobbly”.
Matt Drudge Might Have Sold Drudge Report or Just Sold Out
There is something in this article that shocked me. See if you can pick up on what that was.
Some are reporting that Matt Drudge has moved left politically to please his new owners. Allegedly, he signed up with Google recently. Google had purchased his father’s website, RefDesk.
Others say a former Weekly Standard writer — a never Trumper — bought Drudge Report.
Matt Drudge, the founder and editor of the influential site DrudgeReport.com, has hired Daniel Halper, two sources familiar with the move confirmed to POLITICO.
Halper was most recently Washington bureau chief of The New York Post, a position he held for just under a year. Halper was previously online editor at the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard and in 2014 published the book “Clinton Inc.” It was not immediately clear what his new position will be at The Drudge Report.
He’s out there, and he does have some interesting comments that show he’s maybe a Weekly Standard kinda guy, although probably not a communist spy like I suspect his namesake may be.
Is this guy related to FAHT BASTAHD? I have no idea, and I’m not sure it actually matters.
Drudge Report simply ain’t the same anymore. I think it’s safe to say at this point that Drudge Report was GOOD WHILE IT LASTED.
One of the problems with the “Drudge model” of extreme privacy and isolation from his fans, is that the mystery of the site allows for silent decapitation and replacement. That has a lot of effect. So naturally, if an adversary wanted to take over Drudge report AND not indicate WTH was going on, that would work very nicely to mislead millions of voters. So thus I find it kinda interesting that Drudge got wobbly BEFORE 2016, and then descended to new depths of wobble before 2020.
WHATEVER. It’s done. MOVE ALONG.
Do I Need a Drudge Replacement?
The answer is most assuredly YES. Every minute that you hang out on Drudge, you are exposing yourself to what amounts to communist propaganda, forwarded to you by sad tools of America-hating globalists and Trotskyist Kristol-family CIA puppets. You are letting #NeverTrump decide what you need to be reading.
I mean, COME ON. Chris Christie on a BICYCLE.
Now, there are people who are going to tell you stories about how you “need to hear both sides”, and that it is therefore not a problem that Drudge is “leaning left”. They will tell you lies that “you need balance”.
There is a problem with that – the ASSUMPTION OF SYMMETRY.
Consider that you have an idea that is very close to the truth. Some LIAR comes along. He says “you need to hear both sides”. “The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.”
You see where this goes? Right?
COMPROMISE WITH SUCCESSIVE LIES – EVEN THE FIRST – WILL DRAG YOU AWAY FROM TRUTH.
YOU. DO. NOT. NEED. TO. COMPROMISE. WITH. LIES. OR. LIARS.
EVER.
EVER.
EVER.
NOT EVEN THE FIRST TIME.
Are we good? Do you see?
You really need to DROP FAKE NEWS like a RED HOT STEAMER!
And DRUDGE is now FAKE NEWS.
Drudge Replacements
We now turn to the problem, of who to turn to, to replace Drudge.
Not everybody needs the same medicine here. So I’m not going to recommend ONE. I’m going to recommend THEM ALL, and give you the tips that will help you pick the right one FAST.
All of them have great features. I’m going to point them out. And what I DON’T like as well.
Option 1: THE LIBERTY DAILY
The Liberty Daily is probably my favorite, because it keeps as much of the Drudge Report as possible, but it has an outraged sense of humor which has really grown on me. Almost every reference to nasty Democrat Jerome Nadler prefaces his name with “Stomach-Stapled Stalinist”. Likewise, “Bug-Eyed Burbank Bolshevik Adam Schiff” is seen almost daily.
The famous Drudge format is kept – albeit with too many ads. Red text, columns, simple underlined text, and one or two big items, probably with a picture.
This is an excellent option for those who LOVE Drudge for its simple, familiar look and feel.
What if – instead of trying to STAY with Drudge – you went to an aggregation site that was MOAR? What if the site tried to be almost a SUPER-AGGREGATOR – to aggregate the aggregators?
This site is highly recommended by Dr. Eowyn of Fellowship Of The Minds. It is also highly recommended by ME. If I wasn’t so hooked on some of the stupid features of The Drudge Report, I’d go STRAIGHT to Whatfinger.
Check out the MIX of styles that Whatfinger uses to provide a wide variety of information. Also, the text is very BIG for us oldsters.
Very nice.
There are then PAGES AND PAGES down, just like that, with TONS of items in three columns.
Example:
And it just keeps going on – TONS of information – WAY more than a typical Drudge Report.
Option 3: CITIZEN FREE PRESS
You can tell how effective Citizen Free Press is, by the fact that WordPress sends their links STRAIGHT to the SPAM BUCKET – if not simply deleting the posts as “KNOWN” SPAM, so that I never see them, even in the spam bucket.
People here are frequently 100% UNABLE to post links to articles with CFP URLs.
I’ll be blunt – Citizen Free Press almost certainly has a case to SUE WORDPRESS – or more specifically their parent company, Automattic (automattic.com). In particular, the spam control vendor Akismet is almost certainly involved in this censorship. But no matter who is at fault, for a few thousand dollars, an IT forensic firm could EASILY prove that Citizen Free Press is somehow being blacklisted. (HINT – you want a JURY TRIAL).
Note that I generally like WordPress – but that “like” does not extend to not pointing out that they or their spam operation Akismet are interfering with our free speech by limiting the speech of CFP. Yes, we can use “tricks” to get around a SMALL part of the censorship, but not most of it.
Valued members of our community who persist in posting things that WordPress does not like, but that WE DO, risk being nearly PERMA-BANNED to the SPAM BIN.
Sorry. We are NOT putting up with this.
Note that it would be dead easy for WordPress to provide baseline tools to keep people out of spam – but they DO NOT provide these. Nor does Akismet. Likewise, there is no machine learning of who gets liberated from spam, to KEEP THEM OUT. Oh, this is HIGHLY intentional. It would give the PEOPLE control.
Like I said, easy lawsuit.
Now – back to our regularly scheduled article.
Citizen Free Press is like a . . . . . L – O – N – G – E – R – , – S – P – A – C – E – D – – – O – U – T . . . . . version of the Drudge Report. Each section is LONGER and H I G H L Y _ S P A C E D and in RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.
I will only give you SAMPLES of each section.
Personally, I just don’t like the look and feel of CFP. All that space makes me very uncomfortable. However, MANY people love the site.
My thinking is, if you are still on Drudge, TRY THIS. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Here goes. It’s YUGE and there’s MOAR! I’m cutting a LOT out here…..
Option 4: THE BONGINO REPORT
The Bongino report – like everything else about our lovable fellow patriot Dan Bongino – is DRAMATIC.
That’s just his schtick. Bongino does DRAMA. He does TICK-TOCK. He does BOMBSHELL, and EXPLOSIVE, and HANNITY and LOVELY SARA CARTER.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. SIGH. But still, if you LOVE THE EXCITEMENT (and we all need to feel that TRUMP RALLY EXCITEMENT of POLITICS AS ENTERTAINMENT), then you may want to try a WRITTEN version of Dan Bongino – a kind of TEXTCAST instead of a PODCAST.
One of the things I REALLY like about the Bongino report is that it has a nice mixture of TEXT and VISUALS.
I also like that it’s SHORT and SWEET – a lot like the Drudge Report. Maybe even shorter.
The Bongino Report is slick and professionally produced. A lot of folks like that. It’s very “Fox News without Paul Ryan”.
Give it a look. If you’re on Drudge and the other alternatives look too primitive and amateurish, even by Drudge standards, then consider The Bongino Report. It’s CLEAN and ATTRACTIVE.
The following is an example of the Bongino Report IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Option 5: GAB TRENDS
There is no Drudge replacement option that is more rebellious than Gab Trends. While there is commenting on some of the other sites (such as CFP), Gab is the leader in free speech commenting, and Gab Trends is infused with that capability.
Again, the basic format is standard 3-column Drudge, but there is deeply built-in voting and commenting.
Give it a look. You may like it – especially if you already like Gab. Like Gab, the commenting leans more toward young, anon, alt-right, non-boomer, etc. Could be exactly your thing!
Option 6: NOQ REPORT
The NOQ Report is a little like all of them – something like a mixture of Whatfinger, Bongino Report, Drudge, and Citizen Free Press. It’s a nice average, and you may like it.
One of the best features, for those who like categories of special interest, are the categories of special interest that float at the top of the page, and are shown in some of the images below. Each menu item in the menu bar has a nice menu of popular alternatives (LIKE GUNS!) underneath it.
Check it out. NOQ Report is very no-nonsense. They also don’t give out much information about themselves – PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA – so I can’t really say much more.
Option 7: NEWSAMMO
NewsAmmo is beautiful simplicity, and I think a lot of Drudgies would migrate here if they knew about it.
NewsAmmo is almost “more Drudge than Drudge”. The site is clean, simple, and designed to be easy on the eyes. They don’t even have those “upper left corner” headers like Drudge – the title is right at the top. No excess frills.
IMPORTANT: It’s specifically intended to be good for mobile devices.
You’re gonna love it, even if you ultimately choose something else. It is the work of anonymous patriots in Texas and Nebraska. It has a very comfortable feel for that reason. Folks just like you.
Option 8: ZENITH NEWS
Zenith News (https://zenith.news) is ALMOST a Google replacement. Imagine Drudge Report designed around SEARCHING through it. That is what Zenith News is – DRUDGE SEARCH.
It’s best to take this one TWO WAYS.
First, look at the SEARCH PAGE which serves as the homepage.
Now you can click directly in the top menu to go to different news categories and functions, but let’s look at a SEARCH first. Let’s say you are going to “Drudge” specifically for news about something. Well, try searching HERE instead, and you WILL get results – like these.
I searched on “elise stefanik impeachment” (no quotes). Here is what I got.
Alternatively, the same search terms, but clicking on images, gave me these:
Now, if instead you go to the top and click on “Z-News”, you will get a “Zenith-curated” selection of news, a bit like the Drudge Report, but in one column with pictures:
Likewise, clicking on World News will give you PLAIN OLD NEWS about everything, in two columns.
There are MANY other functions here that veer away strongly from the rest of the pack, and I’m not going to cover them. There are ways to SUBMIT ARTICLES. There are ways to register and log in. Zenith is much more than just an aggregator – it’s like a fledgling alternative news agency.
Check it out. VERY interesting. A proud product of WYOMING.
Option 9: INFOGALACTIC NEWS
Infogalactic is a bit like Wikipedia, but it has a news function – Infogalactic News – that is a LOT like Drudge Report.
Infogalactic News seems a bit youngish and “alt-right” to me. It’s almost like the Twitter Banned Alt-Right built their own Wikipedia, Google, and Drudge Report.
Not necessarily a bad thing. Will you like it? Take a look!
The list of articles is a bit shorter than what you get with any of the others, BUT there are a few interesting differences:
every article cited is ARCHIVED (with a link)
for every article, a link to an Infogalactic SEARCH is provided
two pages are issued per day (AM and PM for that day)
links at the top lead to the prior and next page
At the bottom of the page is a list of people (and links to their sites) which gives a flavor, IMO, of the content chosen for the site. Do you like those people? If you do, Infogalactic News may be just the right thing for you.
We finish our roundup of Drudge alternatives with one that feels a LOT like a conservative “super-Drudge” – known as Rantingly.
If none of the other options seem appealing, try this one.
Rantingly has good coverage of Twitter pundits and Twitter threads. It’s also more visual than Drudge, yet the link text feels very much like Drudge Report.
SO – my recommendation?
Give them ALL a try!
And do you know what?
I’m just betting you can find one that brings back the magic of the old days!
