Rand Paul, R-Ky., with, "No election is perfect. But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed. Every state certified the results. Can't you just say the words, this election was not stolen?"</p>  <div class="jeg_video_container jeg_video_content"></div>  <p>The senator pointed out at that time that the problems simply weren't addressed.</p>  <p>"There were lots of problems and there were secretaries of state, who illegally changed the law and that needs to be fixed, and I'm going to work harder to fix it and I will not be cowed by people saying 'Oh, you're a liar,'" Paul told the anchor.</p>  <p>"Let's talk about the specifics of it. In Wisconsin, tens of thousands of absentee votes had only the name on them and no address. Historically, those were thrown out. This time they weren't. They made special accommodations 'cause they said, 'Oh, it's a pandemic and people forgot what their address was.'"</p>  <p>The senator now is doubling down.</p>  <p><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/13/rand-paul-courts-didnt-fully-hear-election-fraud-c/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=fb-twt" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Washington Times</a> said Paul, in an event held by the Heritage Foundation, said it was simply "untrue" that "the courts fully heard this."</p>  <p>He pointed out, "Courts have been hesitant to get involved in elections."</p>  <p>But when issues like state officials making "changes to election law without permission from the state legislatures" arise, they need to be taking a role.</p>  <p>Paul said states now need election laws that specifically say a secretary of state can't mail ballots out or make unilateral changes if the law doesn't expressly give them power to do so.</p>  <p>According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/rand-paul-says-judges-never-gave-trump-day-court-election-fraud-claims" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Washington Examiner,</a> the facts are that "many state officials made changes to election laws, citing the safety of voters. Widespread use of mail-in balloting was encouraged in many areas of the country, while deadlines for mail-in ballots were extended, oftentimes without input from state lawmakers."</p>  <p>The report noted that even the Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to arbitrary changes made by state officials in Pennsylvania for the election, a political move that drew Justice Clarence Thomas's reaction.</p>  <p>"One wonders what the court waits for," he charged. "We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us…"</p>  <p>He continued, "That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election. But that may not be the case in the future. These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable."</p>  <p>WND previously reported that American courts twisted justice in challenges to the 2020 election, including at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which decided lawmakers didn't mean "shall" when they wrote "shall."</p>  <p>At the <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/11/courts-repeatedly-refused-to-consider-trumps-election-claims-on-the-merits/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Federalist,</a> a commentary explained in the Pennsylvania case, Ziccarelli v. Allegheny County Board of Elections, the court acknowledged the election code explicitly states each voter "shall fill out, date, and sign" the declaration on the outside envelope of mail-in ballots.</p>  <p>But the court, ruling on the validity of 2,400 ballots, insisted the general assembly's use of the word "shall" in that context means "of necessity that the directive is a mandatory one."</p>  <p>Consequently, wrote Bob Anderson, a former aerospace engineer who worked on the International Space Station, Americans remain divided over the integrity of the election.</p>  <p>He argued "the losing side needed to know that a fair shake was given, and that justice prevailed, even if it wasn't the outcome they wanted."</p>  <p>"That did not happen after Nov. 3. Despite a stack of cases that worked their way through the legal system, we remain bitterly divided," he wrote.</p>  <p>After the Supreme Court rejected, without comment, the last of the 2020 election challenges Anderson pointed out the courts are needed in such matters because "wise judges can help to bring peace and healing."</p>  <p>"Surely, for a nation reeling after a tempestuous presidential election filled with strange occurrences, the courts were needed to bring us together," he said.</p>  <p>He pointed out that nearly two of three Republicans believe Joe Biden did not win fairly.</p>  <p>A recent poll noted a majority of Americans still believe there was "cheating" in the election.</p>  <p>Multiple cases were killed because of deadlines, or judges' demands that they go through lower courts first.</p>  <p>"So we are left with the memory of the videos of vote counters clapping as Republican observers were evicted and of covers being placed over windows," Anderson said.</p>  <p>He concluded: "In the end, should we be surprised that voters retain a strong sense of skepticism over the outcome of the presidential election? That a man who largely campaigned from his basement, who exhibited signs of age-related mental decline, could handily defeat a vigorous incumbent who drew immense crowds is naturally hard to believe.</p>  <p>"The election of 2020, which included more than 155 million votes, was decided by approximately 300,000 votes in six states, or 0.2 percent of the electorate, all of which came by an unnatural flip of results late on election night. … The reality is that millions of others may have been disenfranchised, and they instinctively suspect so."</p>  <p>But the left isn't finished yet with efforts to impose its opinion across America.</p>  <p>A progressive activist is pressing American businesses to adopt his opinion and declare to the public that the 2020 election was legitimate.</p>  <p>Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor who is now an analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, is promoting his "Democracy Pledge," <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/democracy-pledge-insurrection_n_6055036dc5b66a80f4e7808e" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the Huffington Post reported</a>.</p>  <p>The pledge states, "The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results."</p>  <p>Kirschner warned that he will publicize the names of companies that decline to adopt his opinion or don't respond.</p>  <p>Consumers then "can make their purchasing decisions accordingly."</p>  <p><a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/03/former-fed-prosecutor-launches-campaign-to-force-every-business-in-america-to-take-anti-trump-purity-pledge/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Legal Insurrection blog said</a> Kirschner wants every business in America to adopt his opinion or they "will presumably be subjected to the cancel mob."</p>  <p>Paul earlier had explained, patiently, to an irate Stephanopoulos: "George, where you make a mistake is that people coming from the liberal side like you, you immediately say everything's a lie instead of saying there are two sides to everything. Now you insert yourself in the middle and say that the absolute fact is that everything that I'm saying is a lie."</p>  <p>Paul said, "You're saying there was no fraud and it's all been investigated, and that's just not true."</p>  <hr />  <hr />  <h2>'The Purge' by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us</h2>  <h4>Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.</h4>  <p>For the last few months, NOQ Report has appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.</p>  <p>It wasn't just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from "woke" Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. One of our YouTube accounts was banned and another has been suspended. Facebook "fact-checks" everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss "taboo" topics.</p>  <p>The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can't say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancelation, but we'd rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media's lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they've convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.</p>  <p>The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an "anti-vaxxer" in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects. These questions are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting cancelled.</p>  <p>There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them.

We are on track to be short by about $5300 per month in order to maintain operations.</p>  <p>The second way to help is to become a partner. We've strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn't seem necessary. Now, we're struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.</p>  <p>During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we'd like to be completely free from them. That doesn't mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.</p>  <p>We're heading in the right direction and we believe we're ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only "get in on the action" but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.</p>  <p>As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater.

Critical incidents: Daunte Wright’s role in his own killing

<table><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-size: 6px; line-height: 10px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px;"></td></tr><tr><td><table cellpadding="3" class="btrcontent" style="-moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; background-color: white; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(173, 173, 173); font: 13px Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; padding: 8px;"><tbody><tr><td><div style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;">Apr 15th 2021, 05:55, by Ted Noel MD  </div>                                                              <div style="color: #494949; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">                                      <p>  </p><p>Most people would consider the death of George Floyd or Daunte Wright to be critical incidents. They would make that rash assumption because they are "critical" to our political environment. Many pundits and businesses are piling on because the same faulty assumption is applied to voter integrity laws passed in Georgia and under consideration in others.</p>  <p>No one should be rash enough to discount the importance of these events. But the term "critical incident" refers to a completely different concept – one that can inform how we address and prevent such public events. The process of "critical incident analysis" is a method of examining a <em>series</em> of events to identify where a single critical intervention or altered critical choice would have brought the whole "chain of events" to a different conclusion. Daunte Wright's death cries out for such an analysis.</p>  <p>First, let us consider what the Chief of Police in Brooklyn Center said.</p>  <p>"As I watched the video and listened to the officer's commands, it is my belief the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet. This appears to me from what I viewed and the officer's reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr. Wright."</p>  <p>The Mayor followed with:</p>  <p>"We cannot afford to make mistakes that lead to the loss of life. I do fully support releasing the officer of her duties."</p>  <p>Notice that both of these statements are factual, and the opinions expressed appear correct. But neither reaches in the direction of critical incident analysis. Neither is really useful in preventing another such event. Only critical incident analysis can help us understand how to avoid reaching false conclusions.</p>  <p>Daunte Wright was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Daunte_Wright">stopped</a> for a traffic violation. During the stop, he exited the car, apparently following police commands. They attempted to arrest him for violating his bail conditions on a charge of attempted first degree robbery with deadly force. His bail violation involved firearm possession, so the police were properly on high alert. When Wright resisted arrest and tried to flee, the officer appears to have intended to tase him, but shot him instead. He died in short order.</p>  <p>Notice the key events that led up to this. Assuming that his original arrest in the attempted robbery was correct, we find these events involving Daunte Wright:</p>  <ul>  <li>Participation in a violent crime</li>  <li>Violation of his bail conditions</li>  <li>Failure to keep his car properly registered</li>  <li>Resisting arrest</li>  <li>Attempting to flee</li>  </ul>  <p>For the officer we find:</p>  <ul>  <li>(Possibly) inadequate training involving Taser and firearm discipline</li>  <li>Failure to identify which weapon the officer was holding</li>  </ul>  <p>We should not find fault in the choice to attempt to stop Wright's flight. After all, he violated the conditions of his bail and was known to be armed and dangerous. Public safety requires that such persons be removed from the street. But we do find that every step listed above was a "critical incident."</p>  <p>The proximate cause of Wright's death was the shot fired by the officer. But that was a direct result of his attempt to flee as part of resisting arrest. Had he not resisted arrest, we would never know about this young criminal. Hennepin County would be dealing with him in a peaceful manner. Ditto for each of the other four listed steps in Daunte Wright's short life.</p>  <p>Daunte Wright had full control over every one of those five steps. Had he not attempted to flee, he would not have been shot. Had he not resisted arrest, he would not have attempted to flee. And so on. Each one of those steps was a willful choice by Daunte Wright that directly led to the police response that took his life. At every step, he could have taken a different path and would still be alive today.</p>  <p>It was only after Daunte Wright made three critical choices that the officer entered the equation. And that officer delayed the final trigger pull until after Wright made the last two critical choices. Let me re-state this. The critical incident sequence was ultimately caused by Daunte Wright. He had five key moments when he could have acted differently. In any of those moments, his choice and his choice alone could have kept him alive. It wasn't until after he tried to flee that the critical incident chain moved out of his hands.</p>  <p>Multiple other "black man killed by white cop" incidents follow the same pattern. In Ferguson, Missouri, Michael Brown assaulted a clerk. When stopped by a police officer, he assaulted the officer, and was killed by gunshots as the officer defended his own life. Michael Brown would not have been shot but for at least two critical events fully within his control. He started the critical incident chain that killed him.</p>  <p>In Minneapolis, George Floyd passed a counterfeit bill. When arrested, he was under the influence of lethal amounts of illicit drugs, one of which was Fentanyl. Had he not resisted arrest, when the Fentanyl stopped his breathing there is a real possibility that it would have been noticed and an injection of Narcan would have brought him back.</p>  <p>There are many more examples available. These three illustrate that while the <em>proximate cause of death</em> was administered by a police officer (assuming Officer Chauvin is found guilty), the <em>ultimate cause of death</em> was fully controlled by the decedent. It was actions leading up to the fatal encounter that set the critical chain of events in motion.</p>  <p>While the Police Chief and Mayor of Brooklyn Center were correct in what they said, they were very wrong in not saying enough. Both of them should have emphasized – not in passing, but in sharp focus – that Daunte Wright ended up on the receiving end of lethal force because he resisted arrest and attempted to flee. This doesn't excuse any incorrect action by the officer, but focuses the ultimate blame where it belongs – on the criminal who created the situation.</p>  <p>Until our public safety officials abandon political correctness and point out this irrefutable truth, we will see more and more public unrest, with more deaths and destroyed cities. It can't stop with the shootings. It has to be applied to all the rioting. Anyone who destroys a business or assaults a police officer is personally responsible for that choice. No excuses.</p>  <p>Years ago I took care of a man who had been police chief in a medium-sized Midwestern city during the mid-60s rioting. He had gotten word that instigators were coming to stir up trouble in his city. He let it be known that rioters and looters would be shot on sight. The rioters passed his city by. They had the presence of mind to make the critical choice to stay alive.</p>  <p>I don't suggest that this was the best approach, only that it worked. Rioters and criminals are generally aware that they don't want to die, and if they know certain actions are likely to make them assume room temperature, they'll often choose wisely. Public officials who decline to point out that the bad guy's choice led to the bad guy pushing up daisies are acting in a way that does not put public safety first. They are creating an atmosphere that forces the police to avoid needed force in the interests of preserving themselves. We suffer for it.</p>  <p><em>Ted Noel MD posts on multiple social media sites as DoctorTed and @Vidzette.</em></p>  <hr />  <hr />  <h2>'The Purge' by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us</h2>  <h4>Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.</h4>  <p>For the last few months, NOQ Report has appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns.

You were told that things were so bad that the only hope was sending $2,000 (or $1,400) checks to Americans. Well, when it comes to some athletes, Biden wants a lot more than that.</p>  <p>This happened when Biden hosted outspoken <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/07/29/why-megan-rapinoe-has-no-interest-meeting-with-trump/">far-left political activist</a> and <a href="https://pluralist.com/uswnt-equal-pay-controversy/">female soccer player</a> Megan Rapinoe (who has an estimated net worth of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/megan-rapinoe-net-worth-how-much-does-uswnt-star-earn/1q6r6lyfi1yna1vf5ug2ihdxf9">$2 million</a>) on March 24 for the signing of a proclamation for <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/03/24/a-proclamation-on-national-equal-pay-day-2021/">National Equal Pay Day</a>. Millionaire Rapinoe took to the podium to speak down to America by saying:</p>  <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>I've been devalued, I've been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman, and I've been told that I don't deserve any more, than less. Because I am a woman. You see, despite all the wins, I'm still paid less than men who do the same job that I do.</p></blockquote>  <p>She followed it up the next day on "Good Morning America" by saying, with regard to her male Olympic counterparts, "We won't accept anything less than equal pay."</p>  <p>Well, for the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-u-s-womens-soccer-teams-pay-doesnt-rise-as-it-generates-more-money-heres-why-11588849252">last Olympics</a>, where players were ostensibly representing their country out of patriotism, the women's team made a whopping collective $221,000 per game, as opposed to $213,000 for the men. These rates were based on <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2020/05/04/judge-dismisses-us-womens-soccer-equal-pay-case---heres-why/?sh=11a807a5728d">separate deals</a> that both the men's and women's team individually negotiated themselves. They agreed to it, and the women actually got paid more.</p>  <p>They also received separate benefits that the men did not, such as paid <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/u-s-women-s-soccer-players-seek-more-66-million-n1140211">maternity leave for one year</a>. But facts never stand in the way of woke ideology.</p>  <p>Her gripes don't end with the Olympics, though. She and the woke left <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/sports/nba-star-draymond-green-attacks-female-athletes-fighting-for-equal-pay-im-really-tired-of-seeing-them-complain/">want</a> all women's professional sports (not just the Olympics) salaries to be artificially inflated to match the men's. Bear in mind that the National Women's Soccer League only exists because it is <a href="https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/soccer/news/uswnt-player-salaries-usa-women-soccer-pay-vs-men-world-cup/k5quxwuslc5yz8gi1c2b69s4">funded</a> and it does not turn a profit.</p>  <p>Accompanying Rapinoe at the White House event was teammate Margaret Purce, who called for us taxpayers to fund all this:</p>  <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>When men began sports leagues, they were supported by billions in taxpayer subsidies. They were prioritized in media and afforded time to grow. The investment was great and the return was great. I have watched and joined a league of women who are remarkable at their craft, and together, we have asked for the same grace that was extended to men in the formative years of their leagues, true investment.</p></blockquote>  <p>Yes, Purce and Rapinoe, with the full support of Joe and Jill Biden, lectured Americans on the noble purpose of giving money to professional athletes. This woke lecture was even more outlandish given that <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/04/06/1-in-3-americans-are-watching-less-sports-blame-social-justice-preaching/">fewer Americans</a> are watching sports because of this rampant wokeism.</p>  <p>It wasn't exactly a proposal aimed at building the middle class that Biden promised. Quite the opposite, it was about building up a small group of elite, rich, and famous professional game players.</p>  <p>All of this is even more ridiculous given that soccer is probably the cheapest sport to play in the world. There isn't an access issue with soccer. Children around the world in dire economic straits play it in the streets. All you really need is a ball.</p>  <p>There is no barrier to playing soccer on grounds of sex, let alone a justification for the White House to make it its priority to increase access. This is about paying people a lot of money to do something that some of us would do for fun or as a workout.</p>  <p>Rapinoe's beef is simply that she wants more money for something people won't pay her enough to do. The far-left agrees. Rapinoe wants to get richer playing a sport.</p>  <p>She wants you to be on the hook for that, <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/megan-rapinoe-rips-draymond-green-equality-womens-sports-comments">to include</a> "funding and resources, marketing and branding, and investing in, not just the players, but the support staff and coaching. And media, TV media, print media—all of it."</p>  <p>Where is that money going to come from? Judging by the views she showcased at the White House and in front of Congress, all roads lead to you, the taxpayer, consumer, and worker. These costs will be passed along to the rest of us by federal dictates.</p>  <p>The timing of her White House appearance was no accident. It was meant to build up the fanfare for congressional action. This Thursday, the House of Representatives will vote on the misnomered Paycheck Fairness Act.</p>  <p>According to <a href="https://www.heritage.org/jobs-and-labor/report/paycheck-fairness-act-would-reduce-pay-and-flexibility-the-workplace">analysis</a> by The Heritage Foundation—and The Daily Signal is its multimedia news organization—the bill "would allow employees to sue business that pay different workers different wages—even if those differences have nothing do with the employees' sex. These lawsuits can be brought for unlimited damages, giving a windfall to trial lawyers."</p>  <p>Among other things, this bill would decrease workplace flexibility options and eliminate performance pay. To "equalize pay" on such rigid and unpractical lines means that the evolving and <a href="https://www.heritage.org/jobs-and-labor/commentary/how-the-paycheck-fairness-act-will-hurt-women">personalized work arrangements</a> that often benefit women more than men—such as paid maternity leave, leave for a child's doctor appointments and snow days, and teleworking arrangements—are all threatened.</p>  <p>The policymakers set to vote on this bill don't even abide by these dictates for their own staff. In fact, to "equalize pay" on Capitol Hill would mean paying some <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/03/27/democrats-paycheck-fairness-act-would-make-them-pay-some-male-staffers-more/">categories of male staffers more</a><em>.</em></p>  <p>Like many problems in our political discourse, this one is a lot simpler than politicians care to admit: Women's professional soccer isn't profitable because there aren't many people who want to watch it. That's why women's professional soccer players, outside the Olympics, don't make as much as the men.</p>  <p>For many, myself included, you probably couldn't pay us to watch an entire game with Rapinoe, given her antics. Now Biden and the left want us to pay to not watch it so Rapinoe can get even richer. As far as this writer is concerned, Rapinoe can take her ball and go home.</p>  <p>There are real issues to solve in this country, and making millionaire soccer players richer is not one of them.</p>  <hr />  <hr />  <h2>'The Purge' by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us</h2>  <h4>Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.</h4>  <p>For the last few months, NOQ Report has appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.</p>  <p>It wasn't just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from "woke" Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. One of our YouTube accounts was banned and another has been suspended. Facebook "fact-checks" everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss "taboo" topics.</p>  <p>The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can't say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancelation, but we'd rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media's lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they've convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.</p>  <p>The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an "anti-vaxxer" in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects. These questions are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting cancelled.</p>  <p>There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our <strong><a href="https://noqreport.givingfuel.com/noq-report">Giving Fuel page</a></strong> makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can <strong><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=BJBTSXXH3MLUN&source=url">donate through PayPal</a></strong> as well. We are on track to be short by about $5300 per month in order to maintain operations.</p>  <p>The second way to help is to become a partner. We've strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn't seem necessary. Now, we're struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.</p>  <p>During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we'd like to be completely free from them. That doesn't mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.</p>  <p>We're heading in the right direction and we believe we're ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only "get in on the action" but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.</p>  <p>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. <strong><a href="https://noqreport.givingfuel.com/noq-report">Please help keep NOQ Report going</a></strong>.</p>  <p><strong>Bitcoin: 32SeW2Ajn86g4dATWtWreABhEkiqxsKUGn</strong></p>  <p><img alt="Bitcoin" data-recalc-dims="1" src="https://i1.wp.com/noqreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Bitcoin.png?ssl=1" /></p>  <hr />  <div></div>  <p></p>  <div></div>  <hr />  <hr />  <h3><br /></h3><hr />  <hr />  <div class="emotesBoxDiv"></div>  <p>The post <a href="https://noqreport.com/2021/04/15/amid-economic-woes-biden-pushes-to-make-megan-rapinoe-richer/" rel="nofollow">Amid economic woes, Biden pushes to make Megan Rapinoe richer</a> appeared first on <a href="https://noqreport.com" rel="nofollow">NOQ Report - Conservative Christian News, Opinions, and Quotes</a>.</p>  <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NoqReport/~4/9RVzKgg9X0c" width="1" />  <p></p>                                  </div>                                                                                                                          </td></tr>                  </tbody></table>                  <img alt="" src="https://blogtrottr.com/spot/84lf/3/fVQy" />        </td>      </tr>              <tr>              <td><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height: 6px; width: 40px;"><tbody><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
