Report: Fifth Circuit court of appeals upholds Texas law, big tech cannot censor First Amendment right

NEW ORLEANS, LA – On Friday, September 16th, a federal court of appeals upheld a Texas law that seeks to prevent social media networks from censoring users based off the viewpoint of their online postings.

According to Fox News, the ruling, which is a major victory for Republicans who have charged that big tech companies like Twitter and Facebook are limiting free speech, is a step forward in a major legal battle that could end up at the United States Supreme Court.

The lawsuit is challenging HB 20, a Texas bill signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott that regulates social media platforms with more than 50 million monthly users, which includes Google, Facebook, and Twitter, saying they cannot censor or limit users’ speech based on viewpoint expression.

On Friday, September 16th, the Fifth Circuit reversed a federal district court’s ruling that blocked the implementation of HB 20.

In his opinion, federal Judge Andrew S. Oldham said that the platforms argued for a “rather odd inversion of the First Amendment” that “buried somewhere in the person’s enumerated right to free speech likes a corporation’s unenumerated right to muzzle speech.” He wrote:

“The implications of the [Big tech] platforms’ argument are staggering. On the platforms’ view, email providers, mobile phone companies, and banks could cancel the accounts of anyone who sends an email, makes a phone call, or spends money in support of a disfavor political party, candidate or business … Today, we reject the idea that corporations have a freewheeling First Amendment right to censor what people say.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is arguing in defense of HB 20, tweeted:

“I just secured a MASSIVE VICTORY for the Constitution & Free Speech in fed court: #BigTech CANNOT censor the political voices of ANY Texan!”

After the district court struck down HB 20, a Fifth Circuit panel removed the injunction in early May. The U.S. Supreme Court restored the injunction following an emergency motion and sent the case back to the Fifth Circuit. Paxton said in a statement:

“Big Tech’s reign of endless censorship and their suppression of conservative viewpoints is coming to an end. These massive corporate entities cannot continue to go unchecked as they silence the voices of millions of Americans. HB 20 was designed to protect every Texan wanting to fully express his or her First Amendment rights, and the court made the right decision in upholding the law.”

NetChoice, a nonprofit group representing Meta in the challenge against the Texan law, said in a statement that they are “disappointed” with the decision. They added:

“We remain convinced that when the U.S. Supreme Court hears one of our cases, it will uphold the First Amendment rights of websites, platforms, and apps.”

In addressing some of the district courts’ concerns, the Fifth Circuit defended the Texas law on constitutional grounds, noting that the First Amendment doesn’t allow platforms the “editorial discretion” to arbitrarily censor different viewpoints.

The ruling on Friday, September 16th, created what is known as a “circuit split,” since the 11th circuit struck down a similar social media law in Florida. A circuit split generally increases the likelihood of the United States Supreme Court taking on the case.

Three students who founded conservative chapter at college sue the school over violations of the First Amendment

August 26th, 2022

FRESNO, CA – Three students have filed a lawsuit against their California community college for its alleged ban on flyers that had conservative messages expressing certain political views.

According to the federal complaint, filed by Alejandro Flores, Daniel Flores and Juilette Colunga, the founding members of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) at Clovis Community College, the students are suing administrators in an effort to get them to stop putting a ban on content deemed “inappropriate or offensive.”

The August 11th complaint, which was filed with the representation of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Expression said, in part, “Administrators of public colleges cannot ban a student group’s flyers because some found the message inappropriate for offensive.”

According to the Washington Examiner, the college’s hostility to the flyers began in November 2021 when the three students initially received permission to post three flyers with anti-communist messages in the college’s academic buildings.

However, within days, college President Lori Bennett ordered staff to remove the posters, claiming that they made “several people uncomfortable” and that if the administrators needed an excuse for their actions, they should tell students that “they aren’t club announcements.”

According to the lawsuit, the college does not require posted flyers to be official club announcements and the requirement was only implemented for the conservative group’s flyers. In a FIRE press release, Alejandro Flores said:

“Clovis tried to put up barriers against our ideas because administrators didn’t like them. But that’s the opposite of what a college should do. Our college should encourage us to discuss and sharpen our ideas, not shut down the conversation.”

Reportedly, in December 2021, the college blocked the conservative club from putting up a series of flyers expressing opposition to abortion on the day the United States Supreme Court was slated to hear oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case that eventually led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

https://fundourpolice.com/

The lawsuit states that the club’s flyers were eventually approved, but were only allowed to be posted on a “free speech kiosk” at the “edge of a walkway students virtually never use because it does not lead to any building entrances or parking lots.” Jeff Zeman, an attorney for FIRE, said in a statement:

“By relegating the flyers to a tiny kiosk, Clovis administrators tried to ensure that YAF’s opinions would never reach the rest of campus. But FIRE’s here to amplify the voices that censors try to silence and make sure that all Clovis students are heard.”

Young America’s Foundation president and former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said that the incident was “another disappointing example” of attacks on freedom of speech on college campuses. He added:

“By attempting to stifle the speech of the conservative students in our Young Americans for Freedom chapter, Clovis administrators engaged in unlawful censorship in violation of the First Amendment.”

In November 2021, the YAF chapter posted flyers critical of socialism and progressivism for the organization’s “Freedom Week,” which reportedly aimed to condemn socialism and spread the message that “progressive ideas have led to the oppression and deaths of hundreds of millions around the globe.”

Those flyers, which were originally given permission to be hung, were later ordered to be taken down by administration. Clovis administrator Leslie King wrote in November 2021 that she had “talked to several people that are very uncomfortable with it, and one person said they would file a harassment claim if these posters don’t come down.”

According to an email obtained by FIRE, President Bennett later wrote in an email to Dean of Student Services Gurdeep Herbert, “I just want to confirm that we will be taking down the posters we discussed today. She added:

“If you need a reason, you can let them know that Marco [De La Garza, vice president of student services] and I agreed they aren’t club announcements.”

Pro-choice domestic terror group “Jane’s Revenge” takes credit for vandalizing pro-life pregnancy center

June 22nd, 2022

According to reports, crisis pregnancy centers in Wisconsin, Oregon, and New York have been firebombed, along with several churches, other pro-life groups, and pro-life lawmakers who have become the target of graffiti and vandalism.

Pro-abortion radicals have issued a new threat and declared “open season” on crisis pregnancy centers, demanding that they close their doors or become a target of attack. These centers provide essential resources to women.

The warning came in a statement released under the name “Jane’s Revenge,” which some are allegedly categorizing as a “domestic terrorist” group. The statement said, in part:

“From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors and stops operating will no longer be a target. But until you do, it’s open season and we know where your operations are. The infrastructure of the enslavers will not survive. We will never stop, back down, slow down, or retreat. We did not want this, but it is upon us and so we must deal with it proportionally.”

The statement added:

“We exist in confluence and solidarity with all others in the struggle for complete liberation. Our recourse now is to defend ourselves and to build robust, caring communities of mutual aid, so that we may heal ourselves without the need of the medical industry or any other intermediary.

Through attacking, we find joy, courage, and strip the veneer of impenetrability held by these violent institutions.”

The name of the radical group has been found spray-painted at the site of attacks against crisis pregnancy centers, churches, and other pro-life groups.

The latest statement from “Jane’s Revenge” said, “we are not one group, but many” and they claimed responsibility for attacks in more than a dozen cities.

On Tuesday, June 7th, a pro-life medical office and pregnancy center in Buffalo, New York was firebombed by the radical abortion advocates.

CompassCare, a Christ-centered organization dedicated to erasing the need for abortion, said it sustained heavy damage to its building. “Jane’s Revenge” took credit for the attack, spray painting their signature “Jane Was Here” on the side of the building. CompassCare said in a statement:

“Ironically, New York’s governor not only ignored the violence, but instead earmarked $35 million in taxpayer funds to increase security at abortion clinics. Adding insult to injury the New York legislature passed a bill investigating pro-life pregnancy centers precisely because they do not perform abortions.”

https://fundourpolice.com/

Now, the radical group is vowing to take “increasingly drastic measures,” which are not “so easily cleaned up as fire and graffiti.” The group said:

“Everyone with the urge to paint, to burn, to cut, to jam: now is the time. Go forth and manifest the things you wish to see.”

“Jane’s Revenge” released a previous statement saying that the battle over abortion is a literal “war” to them. The Biden administration, which has been silent about the attacks, finally condemned the threat. A White House assistant press secretary told the Daily Wire:

“Violence and destruction of property have no place in our country under any circumstances and the president denounces this.”

Over a hundred Republican House members want the Biden administration to actually do something to stop the violence and prosecute the pro-abortion advocates who are terrorizing pro-life organizations.

They sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland calling for an investigation into the attacks. The lawmakers told Garland:

“The Department of Justice must act swiftly to investigate and prosecute recent domestic terrorist attacks against pro-life organizations and dissuade future perpetrators of such violence.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), stated:

“The DOJ has not been faithful to its promise of ensuring the public’s safety against these violent, radical activists. To date, there has not been a single charge brought against any individual or group despite the countless pro-life centers in American that have been firebombed and vandalized in recent months.”

He added:

“The DOJ must condemn these groups and prosecute the criminal actors who are conspiring and coordinating a violent campaign against pro-life organizations that refuse to be intimidated into submission.”

Sen. Johnson slams Biden administration for not doing anything to address pro-abortion violence, targeting of judges

May 14th, 2022

WASHINGTON, DC- “Domestic terrorism as defined by the White House, from a June 2021 release:

“…activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.” [emphasis added]

With that in mind, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) wrote to the Department of Justice last week, asking why that agency has not labeled a violent attack on a Madison, Wisconsin anti-abortion center as “domestic terrorism.”

Last week, a group of pro-abortion zealots attacked the Wisconsin Family Action clinic in Madison with Molotov cocktails in response to an illegal leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court indicating the probable overturn of Roe v. Wade, the ill-advised and seemingly unconstitutional ruling which gives women a constitutional right to murder their unborn children.

On May 13, Johnson’s office issued a press release announcing Johnson’s letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding collective silence on the attack in Madison.

In the attack, the pro-abortion group, Jane’s Revenge also painted a threat on the building, “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.” That would seem to indicate an existential threat to that facility.

In his letter, Johnson took the agencies, along with Joe Biden to task, claiming none have made public remarks, nor have issued statements condemning the Madison attack.

“I want to reemphasize that your silence on this abhorrent attack against a pro-life organization is deafening and your continued silence could be construed as a tacit endorsement of such attacks against those who hold different or opposing political believes from those of this Administration,” he wrote.

Continuing, Johnson asked, “What actions are DOJ, FBI and DHS taking to assist state and local law enforcement regarding incidents of harassment, intimidation, and potential domestic threats against pro-life organizations?”

The Federalist reports that Jane’s Revenge, which claimed responsibility for the attack also issued a statement, in which they wrote:

“Wisconsin is the first flashpoint, but we are all over the US, and we will issue no further warnings.” They also further warned that “next time the infrastructure of the enslavers will not survive.”

In his letter, Johnson further admonished the violent protesters who engaged in sometimes violent and deadly protests in 2020.

“In 2020, extremists exploited demonstrations across the country to incite riots that resulted in the loss of life, more than 2,000 injuries to law enforcement officers, and over $1 billion in property damage,” Johnson wrote, citing International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) numbers.

“There are currently mobs outside the residences of the Supreme Court, Justices appointed by Presidents George W. bush and Donald Trump…and once again, DOJ, FBI, and DHS have yet to condemn these activities.”

Despite the fact that such protests are against federal law, and in the case of Virginia state law, the demonstrations have been endorsed by the White House.

“I know that there is an outrage right now about protests that have been peaceful to date,” outgoing White House flack Jen Psaki said in a press briefing last week. “We certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges’ homes.”

In his letter, Johnson gave Garland, Wray and Mayorkas until May 27 to respond to his letter while admonishing them for their silence, relating their silence to the targeting of parents at school board meetings last year with them being compared to domestic terrorists.

Johnson then outlined three requests:

  1. Has DHS or FBI designated the group, “Jane’s Revenge,” as a domestic violent extremist organization? IF not, please provide your reasoning.
  2. Will DOJ provide resources to identify and prosecute those responsible for the attack to the Madison Police Department?
  3. What actions are DOJ, FBI, and DHS taking to assist state and local law enforcement regarding incidents of harassment, intimidation, and potential domestic threats against pro-life organizations?

Senator Johnson probably shouldn’t hold his breath, given the radical nature of this administration.

The thing with domestic violence and “terror” threats all depends on which side of the political spectrum you reside. For a previous piece on this topic, we invite you to:

WASHINGTON, DC- Freedom of speech? Apparently, not anymore. The New York Post reports that a threat bulletin issued by the Department of Homeland Security has identified its latest “terror” threat—people who engage in “the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.” Gee, that almost sounds like claiming the 2022 mid-term elections are at risk of election fraud because of—Republicans?

Not really. The bulletin is clearly targeting those who don’t bend over, grab their ankles, and accept the narrative coming out of the White House, the CDC, or any other government agency with initials. Think saying that some people have negative reactions to the jab…or that masks are hurting the psychological well-being of children…or that Joe Biden isn’t a cognitive mess. You get the idea.

LET NFT Revolution

The bulletin, in effect until June 7, laid the blame on an “online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories [like Russia collusion maybe?] and other forms of mis-, dis- and mal-information introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic real threat actors.”

In other words, the DHS and by extension the Biden administration is targeting political opponents or enemies of the ruling class. There can be no other interpretation.

The bulletin continued:

“These actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence [like Black Lives Matter and Antifa?]. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation.”

In other words, George Orwell’s 1984, and it’s “thought police” have gone from a dystopian novel to reality in Joe Biden’s America.

The DHS bulletin then began to address some “key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment.”

“[T]here is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.”

“Extremist attacks” and COVID-19? Where? When? “Online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud?”

Oh, you mean like in 2016 and 2017? You mean when Stacey Abrams still has refused to concede the 2018 Georgia governor’s race?

Hillary Clinton still refusing to admit she lost the 2016 election?

Why is DHS completely ignoring month upon month of violent riots in 2020 all across the country? We know why. It doesn’t fit the desired narrative.

Not surprisingly, the Post noted that the DHS bulletin didn’t provide specific examples of either election fraud or COVID-19 attacks, although one could certainly make the argument that January 6 devolved into violence, although referring to it as a “violent extremist attack” is a bit of hyperbole.

The DHS bulletin is so full of holes it would give a block of Swiss cheese a run for its money.

“The months preceding the upcoming 2022 midterm elections could provide additional opportunities for these extremists and other individuals to call for violence directed at democratic institutions, political candidates, party offices, election events, and election workers,” DHS continued.

The bulletin again referred to COVID-19 and again alleged “domestic violent extremists” using them to “justify violence since 2020,” yet once again, could not provide a single example of such violence surrounding COVID-19 measures.

Yet they claim such measures could be “used by domestic violent extremists to justify violence since 2020 and could continue to inspire these extremists to target government, healthcare, and academic institutions that they associate with those measures.” This is pure fantasy.

This is just the latest case of the Biden administration weaponizing branches of the federal government to target political opponents, having used the Department of Justice last year to target school parents speaking out at school board meetings. That wasn’t lost on conservative podcast host Liz Wheeler, who made that exact allegation:

“DHS declares heightened alert…despite the threat environment not being different than a year ago,” she tweeted. “So why now? Well, the easiest person to deplatform is a terrorist…so DHS labels those questioning the left’s covid narrative as terrorists.”

“Welcome to your communist future,” she added. “You may not criticize the govt or you will be imprisoned. That is the logical conclusion of this hideous document.”

Oh yeah, the government also wants to teach you how to be obedient stooges. Check this out:

WASHINGTON, DC- Silencing political opponents. Where have we seen that before? The Soviet Union…China…Cuba…Iraq. And now, the United States of America.

Last Friday, the Department of Homeland Security released a bulletin which warned threats from so-called “domestic terrorists” posed a significant threat to the homeland. Not Islamic terrorists, newly emboldened by Biden’s disastrous exit in Afghanistan. Domestic terrorists.

And who exactly are those so-called domestic terrorists? Journalist Jack Posobiec posted a screenshot of a graphic from NBC News:

As you can see, underneath the headline “terror threats” were the following:

  • Opposition to COVID measures
  • Claims of election fraud, belief Trump can be reinstated
  • 9/11 anniversary and religious holidays

As Posobiec noted, anti-lockdown protesters are now considered terrorists, according to the DHS.

ABC News reported Friday:

“DHS’ National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin issued Friday, warned that threats from domestic terrorists—individuals engaged in grievance-based violence—and foreign terrorists are exacerbated by the pandemic, “including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions.”

Let’s consider this for a minute. CDC guidance has been all over the map, for example, on the efficacy of masks, especially in children. One can go back 18 months and find CDC issued guidance that would literally back any position on masks.

There is sufficient data out there which shows that masks simply do not work, and in fact could possibly be harmful, especially to children.

Yet, if you oppose having kids wear face masks for 7-8 hours per day in school, the DHS now says you are a domestic terrorist.

https://twitter.com/JaromeBellVA/status/1426591149377134594?s=20

In other words, they are claiming through this “guidance” that roughly half the country might be considered domestic terrorists. The question is, what ever became of the First Amendment, considered by the founders to be so important that it was literally the first article in the Bill of Rights.

Let’s consider where we are at. In the beginning stages of this pandemic, we were told we needed “14 days to flatten the curve,” an effort to prevent overwhelming the healthcare system. That 14 days has turned into over 500 days.

In the meantime, businesses have been destroyed, lives have been ruined, and we have literally sacrificed a generation of our kids for a virus that has nearly a zero percent chance of adversely affecting them.

That is not opinion—that is fact.

Yet by stating that fact, backed up by science from organizations such as Johns Hopkins, somehow, we are now considered domestic terrorists.

Time was when parents were allowed—no encouraged to advocate for their children. Based on this new DHS guidance, that is now called domestic terrorism.

Breitbart News spoke to one such parent, Keri Blare from the Collierville School District in Tennessee, who told WREG in Memphis that she disagrees with the school system’s mask mandate for children. She is advocating for her children.

“We want to have our own right and have our won decision to decide to wear a mask or not,” she said. “That’s why I’m here today and that’s the right that I have to make that for my child as a recommendation.”

A registered nurse, Crystal Real in Kentucky stated regarding forced vaccinations:

“…none of us want to lose our job…the reason I came out here is because, well I’ve been a nurse for 13 years and I’ve never taken a vaccine,” she said in protest of a local hospital’s forced vaccination mandate for employees.

Does she, or the mom from Tennessee sound like “domestic terrorists?

A lot of Americans have concerns over last November’s election. Given the sheer number of unusual circumstances surrounding that election, is it that far out of the ordinary to simply ask questions?

Is it wrong to point out a number of unusual occurrences that happened both in the lead up to, during, and after the election?

Remove President Trump from the equation altogether. Flip the script and imagine the same scenario took place, however it was Joe Biden…not Trump…who ended up on the short end.

As a matter of fact, that’s an easy jump to make…just go back to 2016, when Democrats refused to accept the fact that a flawed Hillary Clinton lost the election.

Yet, no Democrats were referred to back then as domestic terrorists. As of a few short months ago, Clinton still refused to admit that she lost that election and reverted to the “Russia collusion” boogeyman.

The US government spent two years investigating what was clearly a political hit job on President Trump under the guise of so-called “Russia collusion,” a hoax manufactured by a rogue FBI in order to secure the swamp. Yet now, people who question this year’s election are called domestic terrorists?

The question has to be asked…if Democrats indeed won the election last year fair and square, why are they opposed to looking into it? If they have nothing to hide, they should welcome any and all probes in order to prove the election results were legitimate.

Taken together, the response by Silicon Valley tech tyrants, the mainstream media and Democrats to people who question the narratives surrounding both COVID and the 2020 election is what has a lot of people losing trust in all three.

It has gotten to the point where even citing the CDC’s own guidance on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube can still get you bounced from the platform, such is the interest in pushing a particular agenda.

While Americans are told to “follow the science,” the tyrants refused to acknowledge that science is an evolving art. Part of science is drilling through various hypotheses in order to reach a conclusion.

Take a look on what recently happened to Sen. Rand Paul, a doctor. He had a video censored by YouTube because he used facts to disprove the voodoo narrative that masks somehow prevent COVID.

Why else should some people be skeptical? Look no further than last summer’s riots in American cities. Health officials excused Black Lives Matter riots throughout the country, excusing them as being for “something bigger” than public health. Well what is it? Is COVID a deadly virus or not?

You cannot tell people it is dangerous for them to attend church services or gather with their family while excusing thousands of people burning buildings, looting businesses and assaulting and killing people.

Perhaps one of the most bizarre dictates engaged by a public official happened in New Jersey, where Gov. Phil Murphy engaged in targeted harassment of the Atillis Gym in Bryn Mawr, New Jersey.

We were told by medical “experts,” including St. Anthony of Fauci that people with comorbidities, such as obesity were at higher risk from COVID.

Yet what did Murphy and a number of other public officials do? Close down gyms, the very place where people could help to prevent one of the factors which puts people at risk to COVID.

Atillis wasn’t the only gym so targeted. The actions taken by officials such as Murphy likely put doubt into people about what this was all about. Yet, if you question that, the DHS now considers you a domestic terrorist.

Can you imagine what would have happened if Trump’s Department of Homeland Security had deemed Black Lives Matter a domestic terrorist organization?

A fact that is a hell of a lot easier to prove than claiming a mom with three kids who loves her children and wants what’s best for them is somehow a terrorist because she disagrees with COVID mandates. Pelosi would have had articles of impeachment drawn up in a heartbeat.

As much as what the DHS memo said was what it did not say…at least out loud. The last bullet shown in the NBC graphic had, as a potential terror threat, “9/11 Anniversary and Religious Holidays.”

Now, who could possibly use the 9/11 anniversary or religious holidays as a basis for a terrorist attack? Perhaps the same neanderthal-thinking cave dwellers who perpetrated the 9/11 attack in the first place?

By identifying (clearly) Trump supporters as “potential terror threats” without clearly and specifically identifying radical Islamist extremists as being a “definite terror threat” with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks speaks volumes about the mindset of this current administration.

In essence, without saying it out loud the Biden administration speaking as the Department of Homeland Security is equating liberty-loving Americans, who merely question some of the policies being implemented by the US government, with radical Islamist extremists.

One need only listen to the narrative coming from Democrats and the mainstream media about January 6 to realize that Trump supporters or even only those who have a healthy skepticism of the government are now the target.

The January 6 Capitol siege is certainly a dark day in American history…not too many people argue it wasn’t. However to equate it with the worst days in American history is absurd.

That incident has been defined as the “biggest threat to American democracy since the Civil War.” Not Pearl Harbor…not the Cuban Missile Crisis…not the September 11 terrorist attacks…no, a few hundred violent people at the US Capitol…THAT was a threat to Democracy.

A bunch of unarmed, primarily senior citizens, most of whom were there to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard are held to being as serious a threat as the 9/11 terrorists.

Yet to our knowledge, not one of those arrested has been charged with insurrection or treason…not one. An overwhelming majority have been charged with the equivalent of criminal trespassing. To our knowledge, not one of those arrested has been charged with a weapons charge related to firearms. Zero.

Yet we are to believe that this incident had our republic on the brink of turning into Joe Biden’s Afghanistan.

Not to be overly dramatic, but this latest guidance from the Department of Homeland Security is chilling. Our country was founded on the principle that people have an absolute right…a God-given right…to free speech, which includes the redressing of grievances through peaceful protest.

That includes the right to disagree with government mandates, such as wearing of masks, forced vaccinations and also the right to peacefully question election results.

How that suddenly equates to “domestic terrorism” is anyone’s guess, but it is clearly a political hit job targeting political opponents of the Democrat’s Marxist agenda.

For a hint of what this regime has in store for its political opponents, or for that matter just people who question what they are doing, look no further than what is being done to those arrested for the January 6 siege.

Held without bail, some in solitary confinement, unable to contact family or friends, some being beaten by prison guard or other inmates. This is where we have come to in the beacon of freedom, the United States of America?

Given the new guidance from DHS, how long before people who don’t wear masks, refuse to get vaccinated, or don’t pledge their allegiance to Joe Biden get locked up in the American version of a Gulag? Don’t dismiss it…that is precisely what is happening to January 6 protesters.

Time was, the US was looked up to around the world as a place where freedom reigned, where people had the right to peacefully disagree with their government. Given the current incarnation of our country, it is a wonder that anyone wants to come here. Must be all those freebies Democrats hand out.

The issue is half the American people are completely fine with being told what to do. Democrats and the mainstream media have convinced them that everything the government is doing…every draconian mandate…every unconstitutional presidential directive…is being done for their safety and security. While leftists claim that supporters of Trump are brainwashed, who are actually the ones who are brainwashed?

Fourteen days to flatten the curve…masks will go away when you get vaccinated…oops, only kidding even if you’re vaccinated you still need to mask up…you need a vaccination passport to go out to eat…it doesn’t matter if kids have a .0007% chance of getting seriously ill from COVID, they still need masks. How much exactly are the American people willing to take?

Apparently, a lot. The Biden administration has successfully scared enough people so now where people used to merely just have friendly disagreements on matters of policy or ideology, this has pitted neighbor against neighbor.

All one needs to do is to the comment section of their local Patch or Facebook and it is no longer possible to have an opinion. If you are anti-mask or have questions about the vaccine, you “want to kill people.”

For God’s sake, a school board member from a town in the Midwest last week said children going to school without masks are “murderers.” This is where we are at?

Now we have Biden’s Department of Homeland Security calling half the population possible domestic terrorists for having an opinion that differs from their own.

We actually came across something published by satire site The Babylon Bee which mocked the sheer stupidity of the DHS directive…as Rush Limbaugh used to say, mock absurdity by being absurd. Here is a list of potential “terror threats” suggested by the Bee.

  • No pronouns in bio
  • Married with kids, works a normal job
  • Didn’t like Captain Marvel
  • Doesn’t like taxes
  • Finds Kamala Harris slightly off-putting
  • Owns a Bible
  • Shops at Walmart
  • Doesn’t triple mask
  • Wears New Balance
  • When you say “I hate Trump” they just laugh nervously and say “yeah, he he, he’s pretty crazy”
  • Homeschooled
  • Doesn’t swoon and scream with delight every time they hear the name “Obama”
  • Invites you to join a militia to invade the Capitol building and take back the government by deadly force to usher in the second golden age of Trump
  • Dislikes The Last Jedi

Absurd right? Doesn’t even begin to describe the absurdity of the Department of Homeland Security guidelines.

Chilling doesn’t even begin to describe the slippery slope we are now going down.
