re: Do you think the Drudge Report got any USAID money?

No answers, just speculation:
I asked Lucianne Goldberg if Drudge’s old friends ever speculate about where he might be. “Gone,” she said. Not gone in the sense of dead, she quickly clarified. “Gone” in the sense of finished with his old life: “I think he was a little surprised he made it as far as he did, and that he was as quote ‘important’ to the general press scene as he was ... He had a cool operation. He didn’t have to work very hard, went swimming once a day in the ocean, and he liked going to parties. And he liked his hat.”
Multiple former acquaintances of Drudge’s theorize that his disappointment with Trump is sincere, and similar to that of his friend Ann Coulter’s: Both turned on the president because of his unseriousness in pursuing their agenda, particularly the construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall. Drudge is famous for discarding friends over forgotten or half-invented slights, according to both news accounts like the New York magazine profile and to several former acquaintances who still aren’t quite sure why the web publisher cut them out of his life. In the greatest possible demonstration of his jealously guarded independence, Drudge may have done the same thing to a president of the United States whose White House he could freely crash.

That is a reasonable explanation.
There was a podcast last fall that discussed him, a long time friend, and they said essentially the same thing.
He still owns it, he lays low.
The TDS suffering ConservaCuck makes a lot of sense now. A lot more than selling it to Soros and nobody can provide receipts.
TDS is as real as cancer and just like cancer it does not discriminate. Old, young. Left, right. It can affect anyone.
Or maybe he is just playing the clickbait game. It is a scientific fact that TDS headlines generate more clicks than factual headlines.

I loved his site back in the day, but never go now. I wonder if some USAID cash steered him off course...
Wouldn't surprise me but I think his background and lifestyle had more to do with it.

Isn't Rantingly the only site with the same format as Drudge?
I checked and Drudge was selling his Miami home but this is years old info.
It is a mystery if he still owns Drudge. I remember him doing Trump polls. Someone offered him the right price. They had to of.
