Rep. Thomas Massie Calls Out House Speaker Mike Johnson for Voting in Favor of the FISA Warrantless Spy Program

"Mike Johnson did not vote on other amendments that day...He went out of his way to be the deciding vote on not having warrants...He went on the news and said 'I've been to the SCIF. I saw things in the SCIF and it changed my mind on this.' Here's the problem with that story, I was in the SCIF with him...They could not give us one example of how they had solved or intervened in an act of terrorism by using the warrantless spying program."

“What is happening to people is horrible but I see no one in government on either side putting any stop to it.”

They won’t until we put them to task. We could fix it in short order if we could just override our addictions with resolve. You can bet that if every Conservative and Christian executed a planned complete mass boycott of the whole internet for a week straight ecommerce would by up their rear ends with a microscope to fix it immediately.

But of course, this will never happen because no one cares about anything bigger than just themselves, their own addictions, and their own convenience. Rallying together to make a true impact for a cause takes away from their personal selfish interests. They care, but not enough to sacrifice a little entertainment or convenience to temporarily to fix it.

And this is why the liberals are winning. They DO have the conviction to organize and actually do activism campaigns like this in mass.

I really wish I could disagree with you.

But I don’t.

“I believe this place has gotten slower and participation and donations have dropped because folks are just afraid to speak freely to the general public.”

Well maybe, but I really feel that because 98% of Reply posts are ignorant reaction babbling screaming at the wall replies that people get tired of this place. And the arguing and personal attacks don't help much - some folks around here use FR as their own personal whoopie cushion and get off on inciting angry reaction.

But for me I do know there many very intelligent, educated, and experienced people here, and if I sift through the babble I get good information, history, and knowledge.

Trust me, I wish I could disagree with me too. I tried very hard to fool myself and deny reality but it didn’t work. Now I am in self defense mode because there is no other avenue at this point. They have us backed into a corner that is nearly impossible to get out of. And they know it and are using it against us. We really could beat it, but it would take strong conviction and sacrifice and like I say, no one is willing to do it.

Also I agree with you Post #41. It seems like we view the other side as spoiled little cry babies but hold our tongue as we hope they will got over themselves as they grow up, but they never do.

Proud of being spied on here by our evil government for the last 26 1/2 years.

I have to say I’m a little surprised those on the “cutting edge” are still operating and I include FR, GatewayPundit (now bankrupt I noticed) and Bannon in that.

We call a spade a spade. We call it a steal. We deny the narrative that there was an “insurrection” and we do it every day with evidence and proof!

This is heretical to the MSM and to those in charge.

My brother is a constituent of Mike Johnson. He predicted from the start that Johnson would fail as Speaker. A truly shameful record, but we are stuck with him.

Unfortunately it is now easier than that for them. They will just “digitally” cancel us.

Hmmm. Sounds eerily like the tribulation period, where they could neither buy nor sell, without the mark of the beast.

“When and if that happens, life will not be worth living. Living in fear with no way out, is no life at all.”

Have faith in Christ and life will be worth living. You will not live in fear. You will also be ready to go when He calls you home.

I don’t think we are in the great tribulation yet, but I think that is exactly what they will use. Cancel culture.
