With this week’s announcement of the establishment of a “Disinformation Board” at the Department of Homeland Security, there is no question in my mind that the Biden Administration is a criminal enterprise.
Where in the Constitution or any subsequent laws assigns the Federal government the authority to determine what is disinformation, or regulate information in any fashion? In actuality, there is a very direct and explicit prohibition of the Federal government regulating speech. It’s called the First Amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Fairly unambiguous, yes? “Abridging the freedom of speech”. Not this kind of speech, or that kind of speech. Just speech- no exceptions or qualifiers.
Biden and his staff have absolutely no basis in law for the regulation of anyone’s speech in this country, and this attempt is yet another egregious example of the Administration choosing to run roughshod over the laws of the United States and the Constitution. The mere attempt to stand up this committee is designed to maintain and increase political power- nothing more. Is it a coincidence that this announcement came right on the heels of the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk, who says he plans to restore free speech to the platform? It seems the political rationale here is to assign DHS the role formerly self-assumed by Twitter.
The appointment of Nina Jankowicz as the head of this board is another loud signal that this is nothing more than an attempt to impose censorship. I encourage you to research the vacuous “career” of this 33-year old proponent of silencing all viewpoints opposed to the Progressive Left. She was among the first to declare that Hunter Biden’s laptop scandal was a disinformation campaign in 2020. We all now know that scandal to be very, very true.
Speaking of Hunter’s laptop, now that it’s acknowledged as a true thing, why aren’t we seeing Biden being seriously taken to task by the Fourth Estate? Putting the disgusting content of Hunter Biden’s personal life to one side, there is more than enough documentation indicating that pay-to-play was the name of the game when Joe was VP, and the Biden Crime Family continues operations today while he’s president. I wonder how this would have played during the Trump, or any of the Bush presidencies?
The establishment of the DHS Ministry of Truth is but the latest illegal act by Biden and his Administration. Many watch in disbelief as our immigration laws are openly flouted on the southern border, allowing untold numbers of illegal aliens to enter America. Indeed, it’s been documented that this criminal enterprise transports illegal aliens across the country via air and ground in the dark of night, releasing them in cities far away from their port of entry..
We’ve been listening to Biden since he took office about the terrible plight of those who can’t pay their student loans, and how something must be done. Payment on these loans has been suspended multiple times, and there are indications that Biden may somehow forgive these loans via executive order. Where does a president get the authority to do this? I certainly can’t find any precedent or law supporting this- more pandering for political power is all I can see.
Instead of trying to support and protect the “81 million” voters that propelled him into the White House, Biden has allowed our economy to crater. Rampant inflation, negative GDP and reliance upon foreign energy are of no concern to the Progressive Left administration. Maintenance and expansion of the leftist agenda is all that matters.
I can only hope the Republicans take real actions after what is shaping up to be a historic repudiation of the Democrats and Progressive Left this November. If the actions of Biden and his minions over the last year don’t rise to the level of “high crimes and misdemeanors”, nothing does.
These are my thoughts. I encourage you to express yours.
