OK – here is an update on the new site. I’m putting it here ON the new site, so people can start getting used to commenting over here.
I have decided to go for SMOOTHNESS OF TRANSITION rather than CLEAN FAST BREAK.
PATIENCE. It’s a virtue.
Most of the posts transferred. We only have about a week at the end of November, plus whatever days in December before we move, to be moved later. Almost all our images have transferred. If we’re not OCD and/or perfectionist about things, the copying of the sites has been 99.9% successful.
On the PLUS side, we can use more modern commenting systems that use modern technologies like REST and AJAX to avoid reloading entire pages for EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. In particular, we are now using the wpDiscuz plugin, which is a bit like Discus for WordPress.
The main NEGATIVE, however, is that we are having a LOT of trouble getting comments to integrate with the WordPress-dot-com notification system which is part of their “JetPack” – what most of us refer to as “The Bell” or “The Bell Icon”, located in the “WordPress.com Menu Bar” – a.k.a. “The Black Band”.
While I was able to get SOME notifications about replies on the new site to propagate in the “bell notification system”, most people saw either spotty or no performance this way. This may be a function of whether individuals have properly identified themselves to JetPack on the new site – something that is frankly too tenuous to be trusted. We cannot count on this to communicate.
Bottom line – we no longer have “bell icon notifications” on this site. I will keep trying to get them, but they’re not likely to happen soon.
I do have some good workarounds that I’ve been using. The WordPress-dot-com comment page is actually a pretty good ticker of posts as they are happening. I’m not sure if everybody can see it, or how much they can see, but it may be a start.
I did get the “Home” and “Contact” links to appear in the top menu. See above!
I will have the sidebar updated to match – ROUGHLY – the sidebar on the old site, very soon.
All our categories and key words transferred. All our old comments. I *MAY* lock the older posts, but not yet committed to this. WordPress has a setting for closing commenting after 14 days. It’s something I plan to consider.
During testing, we ran into some interesting capacity for EDITING OF COMMENTS that looked like a bug. Turns out that this capability has always been there for AUTHORS on their own posts. Daughn actually found and used this capability to deal with a flame war on one of her posts, once, in the early days of this blog. Otherwise, she followed my preferred practice of NOT editing things, but rather letting the record stand – 100% sunlight – no deletions except under extreme circumstances – KEEP THE EVIDENCE – DON’T DESTROY IT.
This is why we count on authors to show EXTREME integrity, and not everybody is an author here!
Now – one more point.
What would you think about actually becoming a FORUM? Or just ADDING ONE?
I found a plugin that we may REALLY like. It is a plugin for WordPress that creates a FORUM.
SO – if we wanted to actually become a FORUM – we could do it. We could even ease into it, by keeping our current model, but creating a “forum next door” with a link on our main page.
Something to think about.
Bottom line – there are MANY possibilities awaiting us. My first step is simply to get the new house ready for occupancy! From there – who knows?
Have a great week!

Prepare to defend “conspiracy theories” until the globo-nazis have no choice but to close this blog.
Because there’s nobody better at defending “conspiracy theories” to their proof than US.
When Sundance was kicked off WordPress, and more precisely WordPress.com – the .com part being a subtle distinction – I decided to leave WordPress, too, in some kind of “solidarity”.
We don’t actually HAVE to leave yet – we are not being threatened by the WordPress.com parent company, Automattik – or as I like to call them, AutomattiKKK.
Indeed, leaving at our convenience seemed like a bit of a blessing.
The trouble was, even though I had an excellent plan to leave and move to a censorship-proof home, I simply didn’t have the motivation I needed.
Ah, but Sidney Powell has solved this problem for me.
Sidney Powell is obviously going to cause the other side IMMENSE GRIEF. She is about to drop accusations which the other side will RIDICULE, MOCK and DENY, but which will SCARE THEM TO THEIR BONES.
The weaklings in the Establishment GOP are not up for this fight.
Indeed, I actually believe that the GOP are now WILTING in Georgia, scamming it for MONEY, but perfectly ready to give the Senate to the Demonic Democrats, should Trump manage to win.
What I’m seeing from the GOPe is a lot of FEAR-MONGERING FOR MONEY on Georgia. I’m not seeing people calling for KEMP’S HEAD. I’m not seeing anybody ready for a SHERMAN’S MARCH against Stacy Abrams, COMMUNIST RAT.
I’m seeing the same old same old – monetization of a crisis held in a balance.
And it gets WORSE.
Nobody wants to admit that our elections have been a FRAUD. Not just here, but across this PLANET.
Sidney’s gonna drop bombshells. I already believe her. Why? Because I have not told you stuff – damn near TREASON – that I witnessed during my decades in the shallow end of the swamp.
CHINA. NORMALIZED. CORRUPTION. AND. BETRAYAL.
They had a great, even scientific way of doing this, and it worked.
Communists corrupted America to jaw-dropping extents. On behalf of other interests, yes – and those interests need to pay for THEIR crimes, too. But it is SMART to understand who is who in the fight. We deal with both a corrupt opponent, and their SATANIC ringmaster.
Back to THIS fight.
Sidney is not going to get a break here. The WEAK and the SCARED are going to turn and run.
NOT ME.
The moneybags in the UNIPARTY are going to DENY, DENOUNCE, and DISPARAGE. The QUISLINGS and the COWARDS are going to run.
We’ve been in this fight before. We can win THIS ONE, TOO. But it’s going to be rough.
I am going to back this woman until the Three Gorges Dam of their LIES breaks, and the world is forever changed.
FAKE ELECTIONS are going to be a thing of the past.

Second CCP
If you’re familiar with the Isaac Asimov “Foundation” series, then you are familiar with the grand plot device of “The Foundation”, which is later rebooted by the exciting idea of a hidden “Second Foundation”.
Here, I steal the meme, and apply it to all of China’s slightly hidden enablers, by calling out what they are doing on China’s behalf to HELP CHINA SAVE THEIR ASSES:
Control of Coronavirus Perspective (CCP)
The corona magnification hoax was their BIG, desperate info-nuke to “get Trump”. Very easy to see NOW, but most of us are not as SOLID as we should be, in getting a TRUE perspective on COVID-19.
The fact is, the left is doing everything it can to PSY-OP you on not only COVID-19, but coronaviruses in general. They are working very hard to keep both individuals and society focused on a MYTH – not REALITY.
TWO resources will help get rid of THEIR CONTROL of YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
RESET YOUR CORONAVIRUS PERSPECTIVE
Here is the first.
To begin countering the MIND-FRACK that the Soviet American media, Soviet Deep State, China, Controlled Industry, and Soviet Dems have done on you, regarding the “novel [HOW MUCH?] coronavirus”, it helps to just consider some other [MORE FAMILIAR] possibilities, so that you can see what makes more sense – a new and very Hollywood story, or what we knew before about coronaviruses.
Begin here, with the article by Beda M. Stadtler (image above) which swept social media:
The immune response to the virus is stronger than everyone thought
Back to Reason Jul 1 · 12 min read
The original article was published in the Swiss magazine Weltwoche (World Week) on June 10th. The author, Beda M Stadler is the former director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of Bern, a biologist and professor emeritus. Stadler is an important medical professional in Switzerland, he also likes to use provoking language, which should not deter you from the extremely important points he makes.
This article is about Switzerland and it does not suggest that the situation is exactly the same globally. I am advocating for local measures according to locale situations. And I advocate for looking at real data rather than abstract models. I also suggest to read to the end, because Stadler makes crucial points about testing for Sars-CoV-2.
Read the article that follows. It seems SHOCKINGLY REASONABLE. It is from a person who is a former director of an institute of immunology.
Medium, which censors stuff like this all the time, would have censored this if they COULD HAVE. The problem is that Beda Stadtler is too credentialed, and nobody in science is willing to say he’s wrong and likely get their ass handed to them.
So instead, Medium adds THIS at the top, in small letters:
Anyone can publish on Medium per our Policies, but we don’t fact-check every story. For more info about the coronavirus, see cdc.gov.
Just read the article. You will start to see several important points about IMMUNITY in general, and coronaviruses in particular. You will start to see COVID-19 as YET ANOTHER WEAK CORONAVIRUS.
You will start to see that Americans ARE protected from the virus, NATURALLY, and that is why there are so many “asymptomatic” cases, weak cases, and people who “seem immune” because [DRUM ROLL] THEY ARE IMMUNE – through exposure to similar, related coronaviruses earlier in life.
THEN watch the YouTube video I showcased earlier, by Dr. Kelly Victory, MD.
https://youtu.be/kFD5sQjIyGg
This video may or may not get taken down by the Wojcicki sisters. Dr. Victory is actually a professional disaster adviser of businesses, on topics including pandemics. It is difficult if not impossible to question what she says. It doesn’t matter, however, since this video will show up somewhere else if it is taken down.
This doctor is a voice of reason and VACCINE REALISM. She begins to frame the most fundamental questions about vaccines, and takes us BACK to medicine’s understanding of vaccines BEFORE THE MEDIA BEGAN TO PSY-OP US ON THEM.
She is right there with Trump. Why are our children being protected from IMMUNITY THEY NEED, and CAN GET SAFELY RIGHT NOW?
The media and Democrats seem obsessed with making sure children DON’T GAIN NATURAL IMMUNITY.
WHY? Are Democrats, as they always do, trying to CREATE A CONTROLLING PROBLEM? Are they trying to create a useful problem (see “global warming” and then “climate change”) using BAD FINANCIAL INCENTIVES? Is VACCINDRA the next SOLYNDRA?
From here, we examine a POWERFUL MEME.
What If COVID-19 Is “Just Another Coronavirus”?
Let’s start here, with an amazing meme that will blow your mind.
I want you to stop and think about this. PRIORITIES. Why are we letting the MEDIA set them?
This “shocking” fact about COVID-19 is not unreasonable, because (1) real numbers support it, and (2) this is the reality of the normal endemic weak coronaviruses, and why “coronavirus” was not a household name before the China-Democrat COVID psy-op. FLU was a much more targeted target because it simply IS a more important target.
One of the PRIOR coronas came from bats, most likely (2 of them came from mammals, and 2 from birds, IIRC). But what we have with COVID-19 is almost certainly a LAB-MEDIATED SPECIES JUMP.
Remember – it really IS the “China Virus”. Well, other than THIS ONE.
Now – let me repeat that meme. INTERNALIZE IT.
Thanks to gudthots for posting this BRILLIANT meme, along with the following excellent comment about things michaelh said:
gudthots July 9, 2020 at 01:28 Michael pointed out that vaccines for non-lethal illnesses are not prioritized. I think that is because vaccines can be lethal and you don’t want a cure that’s worse than the disease.
If we DID prioritize flu and coronavirus, and if flu (voluntary vaccine) is HIGHER priority than coronavirus, then why would we want a mandatory vaccine for coronavirus?
You see? It all falls apart, once you see this.
Does “Nursing Home Killer Cuomo” now make sense? The whole plot to use MEDICAL SOCIALISM to enact SOCIALISM depended on ENOUGH DEATHS.
What Does Bill Gates Want?
Finally, let’s look BACK at Bill Gates from the vantage point of “OMG – we have another coronavirus, and we are even experiencing cross-over immunity, as we should have expected. Do we really need a vaccine?”
Here are two things to understand.
Bill Gates is now studying Karl Rove and David Axelrod
Yes, that is an ugly thought. “Win for the UniParty. Don’t simply do the right thing.”
Remember when SCHIFFTY SCHIFF asked for social media to “do something about vaccine misinformation”? That turned out to be CODE for “kick Natural News and InfoWars off social media”.
Start listening to the video around 3:30 to get Gates’ full thought. He is CONCERNED that low American compliance with the MASKS will lead to low compliance with the VACCINE. He wants social media to FIX THIS #### NOW.
None of these people is interested in natural immunity – EVEN if natural immunity is MORE EFFECTIVE and BETTER FOR HUMANITY.
NOW – it’s VERY interesting to hear Bill Gates, assisted by his shill interviewer, go after the “conspiracy” theories, which [SHOCKED FACE] even include HIM, sometimes!!! OY, VEY!!!
Seriously, it’s good for a laugh. Just listen from the beginning.
Wolf’s Bottom Line
The fact is, THEY are pushing an UNREALITY about coronaviruses in general, and COVID-19 in particular.
Masks are not the real issue. They are a PROXY.
The real fight is MANDATORY RISKY AND INFERIOR VACCINATION for common diseases that are better treated and prevented through natural immunity gained early in life.
THIS MEME.
W
“Why is isolation and vaccination of the young a good idea, when immunity to the real disease is almost without a doubt stronger and safer?”
“If COVID-19 is as much like known coronaviruses as it appears, and we are observing crossover immunity already, and crossover antibody reaction in diagnosis, and we know that coronavirus vaccines are all potentially risky with regard to immune enhancement, then why are we not protecting our children against both disease risks and vaccine / no-vaccine risks by letting them gain immunity NOW, when it is safest?”
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!
