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.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
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.
The article gets its time lines wrong. Drudge turned on Trump DURING the Primary to a minor extent and the general to a greater extent. He started running the Russiagate hoax day one.
He was never a conservative or a liberal, he was always only after one thing: cash. And the money in 2016 was in dunking on Trump. But that well is dry and he can’t get his old readers back.
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.
Drudge is a Mossad asset. No doubt about it. Israeli agent Drudge fooled many dumb conservatives for a long time, but that crowd’s time has passed.
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.
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. Why Thailand? What made Thailand so attractive to him out of 200 nations in this world? It’s an interesting set of priorities.
I would check Drudge every day! When he went Left I left, never to return. It’s been over four years.
Why? He’s where he wants to be.
Matt who?
Makes me think of “Little Green Footballs”. It was a solidly conservative, pro Western, pro America site up until Obama’s first presidential run. The guy who runs it was offended by how some people characterized Obama. He went full-blown leftist with the site over the course of sixty days.
Drudge took the money from the sale and disappeared. Remember, he gave Breitbart his start at the Drudge Report. Thought he was gay too, so not sure why he’s waiting for Ann Coulter to join him. I think he received hundreds of millions if not a billion dollars (i saw validation 10 years ago based on the incredible amount of visitors). For years we checked Drudge daily and watched Foxnews. We do neither anymore. Revolver, Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, Real America Voice and Newsmax replaced those pretty well (although Matt Drudge IS the greatest headline author of all time!) The Deep State or a Soros organization probably own the Drudge Report now.
Drudge is/was a homosexual deeply loyal to Israel. His site targeted Normal Americans, giving the impression that he, too, was a Normal American. He wasn’t.
Even before he sold the website, his two hidden loyalties could be discerned in the occasional links he shared. One out of every 5 or 10 links would have a positive spin for homos. No link was ever critical of his religious homeland.
At some point, the site dropped the pretense of being Normal, and the homo/Israel links exploded, along with the disappearance of “conservative” links.
Drudge Report is still a fantastic resource–for Jewish homos!
