It’s no secret that Matt Drudge (or whoever is running Drudge Report now) hates Donald Trump. The site that was in every conservatives’ bookmarks for years fell from grace when its true leftist love started appearing shortly after Donald Trump’s first victory.
After his third victory (2020 stolen election notwithstanding), Drudge and his famous report are suffering. All of his top links are gone. Only the one headline remains above the columns: “WORLD IN SHOCK”.
It links to a generic Associated Press election coverage story.
There have been many theories about what happened to him and whether he still operates the site. My personal conspiracy theory is one I haven’t shared often but I believe it to be the truth. This is a THEORY, one that I could neither test nor prove. And while it’s possible that someone else bought it or that he’s being blackmailed (the two most prevalent theories), I believe he’s finally just showing his true colors after decades of pretending to be a conservative.
Matt Drudge, in my humble opinion, was always a radical leftist. He found great success in the Clinton years and realized he could build a juggernaut by pandering to a conservative audience. He wasn’t necessarily “controlled opposition” because I do not believe anyone controlled him at all. He did what he did, hired actual conservatives to work some of the shifts on his site, and pretended to be likeminded.
But the reclusive man was only doing it for the money and/or power.
When 2015 rolled around, he wanted Bernie Sanders to win. Attacking Hillary Clinton was easy for him but he wanted to select the GOP candidate he thought Bernie could most easily beat. As was the case with so many leftists, they saw bombastic businessman Donald Trump as an easy target with a ton of baggage who could never win in the general election.
Like Stephen Colbert, Joe Scarborough, “The View,” and other leftist media personalities, Drudge embraced Trump early as his preferred GOP candidate. But while the known leftists quickly flipped on Trump the moment he became the nominee, Drudge was forced to embrace him.
And he did. But until the moment Trump was elected the first time, Drudge did not believe he could actually win. His plan was to show support for Trump and keep in with the conservative crowd, then go back to business as usual once Clinton won the general election.
But she didn’t win. Drudge was shocked. He started questioning his existence as someone living a lie. What made it worse is that many leftist publications cited him specifically in the post-mortems trying to explain how Trump won. Many of them called Drudge Report out as one of the biggest reasons for Hillary’s defeat.
That hit Matt Drudge hard. So he reassessed, realized he had plenty of money, and determined he needed to be true to himself. His Bernie-loving posts started in 2017 and the transition from a conservative beacon to a leftist shell of its old self began.
The site that used to regularly link to The Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, and Western Journal abandoned those stories in favor of Yahoo, MSN, and Washington Post. Today, the closest he comes to linking to a “conservative” site is the DailyMail, and usually only non-political reports.
So it’s fitting that his headline following Trump’s win is “WORLD IN SHOCK”. That’s not true. It’s just him and his fellow leftists who are in shock over Trump’s victory.
What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Drudge left me, so I left Drudge. I may have visited his site once or twice in recent years. But it’s not the same, of course. Alas.
Matt Drudge sold The Drudgereport to the left some time ago. They paid him tens of millions and presumably, Matt head out for parts unknown. Keeping The Drudgereport name was another democrat trick, meant to sway attitudes and opinions on the right behind the name. Obviously, the reason why The Drudgereport changed is because it was no longer Matt Drudge running it. Matt Drudge was never a radical leftist and he never hated Trump. Where do you get this bilge, or, perhaps, where have you been? It sounds like this was meant as a purposeful hit piece.
I actually considered that angle, but it doesn’t make sense. If that was the case, the sale would’ve been relatively easy to prove. Also, why sell your name along with the site, then slink off into the shadows and never explain your actions or defend yourself with the truth?
Drudge taking a powder, anonymously, was a condition of sale. I said it right up front when I said the site was meant to be a deception i.e. a conservative front, behind which fascists could plant ideological bombs. Matt Drudge was paid enough to agree with this. If you started with nothing in your news start up and were given a chance to bail out with 20, 30, 40, 50 million, what would you do? Remember, that’s when the king of Muslim deceit (taqiyya), Obama, was taking the POTUS office. Ask yourself: why hasn’t Matt Drudge surfaced? IMO, he’s waiting in obscurity somewhere for Ann Coulter to join him. That was the long term plan for them both.
This is why I dropped Drudge Report and switched to The Liberty Daily.
Yeah, I would agree except that Liberty Daily is nothing more than a Jewish market place.
You were meant to, and, despite what Daniel below says, to TLD from TDR was an excellent transition. IMO, Matt Drudge and TLD set this up before he parachuted out of the news business. Why is it so unbelievable that a man as smart as Matt Drudge might want to put himself out of reach of the US administrative state’s Intelligence Community? Many professions have time limitations and our bureaucracies have no qualms about taking out anyone they deem are adversaries. .
Drudge exposed himself and went down in flames. Like the Bush and Cheney backstabbers, he’s now irrelevant and rightfully so. All the money in the world can’t change the shame and guilt that comes from being a hypocrite.
Total nonsense.
Drudge must have been taped going to Epstein or Diddy parties years ago. That or a brain tumor. Sad way to go.
My guess is he has AIDs and doesn’t want anyone to know. Hey, my guess is as good as yours. Not even a day and Trump is calling for unity already. How did I know that was going to happen? Next he’ll hire half the deep state.
Of course Trump is calling for unity. That is what he should do. That doesn’t mean Trump is changing his beliefs or actions. It’s called politics….
Drudge might have given us a major clue when he quit his Sunday night radio show. He said it interfered with longer trips to Thailand. It’s an interesting set of priorities. Why Thailand? What is it about Thailand that he would single it out over 200 nations in this world. He has always been uber concerned about privacy.
