About Drudge...Noticed, along with millions of others the drastic change and did some digging in 2019 and discovered an article that stated Drudge was "forced" to sell his site as well as his father's and that there was a Chinese connection. Also, that he had signed an NDA. I tried to post this here but the article no longer exists. So much fuckery with Drudge but this link provides some insight for sure. Was he caught up in a blackmail situation? Makes you wonder.
