Biden attacks Republicans, confirms column

Posted

I heard this quote on the radio last week; “Republicans believe Democrats are people with bad ideas, Democrats believe Republicans are evil.” Last Thursday, President Joe Biden, in a speech, confirmed that quote and what I wrote in my column last week. 

When you believe the other side is evil, it allows you to justify any action, including breaking the law. After all, anything is fair in war.

More than once, the Democrats have shown their desire to weaponize government agencies against citizens who disagree with their policies.

You may remember that under President Barack Obama the head of the Internal Revenue Service, Lois Lerner was forced to resign after it was discovered the IRS targeted conservative and Tea Party groups applying for tax-exempt status with intensive scrutiny based on their names or political themes.

The IRS ended up paying $3.5 million to more than 400 conservative nonprofit groups. 

No charges were filed.

In another scandal under Obama, the National Security Agency used a super-secret computer system to scoop up emails, video clips, and pictures from Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Yahoo from Americans without warrants. 

Obama’s director of intelligence James Clapper perjured himself before congress — which he denies — when he said that the NSA was not collecting data on millions of Americans. 

A federal judge eventually deemed this unconstitutional. No one was charged.

Of course, it doesn’t take a Democrat administration to weaponize the government. Evidence shows that the FBI has been using its clout to influence social media and the news.

Last month Mark Zuckerberg admitted on “The Joe Rogan Experience” that in 2020 the FBI came to Facebook, just before the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and warned them about Russian propaganda.

The FBI did this even though they had the laptop in their possession since December 2019 and knew it was not propaganda.

The New York Post reported on Aug. 29; “A top FBI agent (Timothy Thibault) at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings.”

Once again, government officials use their  power to influence an election. Who believes anyone will face criminal charges for this?

Earlier this year, Biden’s Department of Justice refused to enforce a federal law banning protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices.

Now, our attorney general, Eric Schmitt, and the AG from Louisiana, Jeff Landry, found evidence of collusion between big tech and the Biden administration to censor Americans.

Schmitt said on Fox News, “Essentially, big government has been colluding with Big Tech to outsource its censorship, which is illegal. And so what we’ve discovered so far through this landmark case that was filed in May — we got discovery within the past few weeks here, we’re still fighting to get more — is a vast censorship partnership between big government and Big Tech. We found reams and reams of emails and documents and correspondence where the government is dictating to these social media companies what to do. To take down certain posts, to censor content. More than that, there’s weekly censorship meetings. There’s direct communication from a senior-level Facebook executive with the surgeon general of the United States saying, ‘Hey, we heard what you had to say. We did that. What more can we do?’”

It’s one thing for Big Tech to censor our speech, but when the government is involved, it’s a severe violation of our First Amendment rights.

This violation is not just with the head of one department in the government. Schmitt’s investigation has disclosed that “at least 32 federal officials — including senior officials at the FDA, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and the White House — have communicated with Meta (the parent company of Facebook) about content moderation on its platforms.”

The government dictating what you hear and read on social media is only a few steps away from controlling all the news like communists do in Russia, North Korea, Venezuela and China.

This will not stop until those in power are punished for their illegal actions.
