Just when you think it cannot get much worse -- with lawlessness overtaking our cities, our southern border being overrun, and the president of United States declaring half of voting age Americans “a threat to the very soul of this country” -- unsettling bricks are being added to the wall of an emerging police state in America.
We now learn that the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security has officially categorized Trump supporters -- the so-called members of MAGA -- as “domestic terrorists.” Additionally, the FBI has formed a secret task force that appears nonpartisan, but actually operates in unprecedented ways that depart from prior focus on cells, anarchist, militia and violence-prone groups, and now focus on people who may be peaceful but identify with anti-government and anti-authority thinking. FBI sources acknowledge that these new categories and task force have been created to target MAGA and Trump supporters.
Not coincidentally, Hillary Clinton has reappeared just as this new information surfaces in a lengthy Newsweek article by William Arkin. In media interviews she labels Trump supporters a cult, and suggests that there needs to be “a formal deprogramming of these cult members.” Hillary must favor a police state, as it’s the only way such a mass deprogramming could be undertaken.
The Patriot Act, which was enacted on October 26, 2001, created new laws and protocols to thwart another 9/11 external terrorist attack. Passed with some haste after 9/11, the Patriot Act also introduced what would become a slippery slope of internal political weaponization of the legal system, the FISA courts, and the three-letter federal agencies -- reinforced by the legacy and social media -- resulting in American citizens being denied protection under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments. This trajectory, unchanged, surely leads to a police state.

Are we all AGAAVE now?
W’s was the most destructive administration in modern days.
DHS

Patriot Act
Two multi decade police actions
He also tried for “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”
Islam is a religion of peace
Begat Obama
Concur
Insert Franklin quote about security and liberty…
I would contend that any jurisdiction with compulsory education laws is already a police state.
We won’t be voting our way out of this.
I wouldn’t argue. I hope more parents move towards group homeschooling or private schooling.
In the beginning of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, he states that his upbringing with private tutoring as foundational to his person.
The dream of America is not the reality.
Our current culture is trash.
Caroline Glick has a video up today (10/11/23, Hamas Supporters in the West) where she discusses a little of the U.S.’s moral insecurity (abandonment of our Biblical values) and the Bush admins. that has led us to our slide into our current insanity. How can it not get worse?
We crossed that crossroads long ago.
The DS is just allowing us the illusion of freedom to keep the natives quiet.
It won’t last long once they finish getting their army in place dispersed across the country.
Momentum is a dangerous thing. We’re far beyond “Biblical living”.
Look at the trash on tv.
How many females are tatted up sluts?
How many abortions?
How many ODs?
Crime?
Non merit based decisions?
Giving up?
Etc.
Surely a rhetorical question at this point...
Catholic high school tuition in Orange County, CA is $21,000 a year. That is a bargain compared to other private schools.
100%. I think W was more transformative (negative) than Obama, but maybe that’s just because his admin affected my life more and the scales fell from eyes during his time. The die had already been cast when Obungo took office and he further progressed the decline, especially socially.
You don’t want to know what I pay for my 4th grader’s tuition at a quality private Christina school. Youngest 3 are still homeschooled.
Once again we’re on the same page.
Every single thing Bush did, and the negative consequences, are still in effect.
Are the tools created to fight terror aimed at us now?…
Every time “we have to do something”it iterates governmental power.
I can think of absolutely nothing in America that is better now than my childhood time. Not my life, but societally speaking.
I don’t find depraved sluts a positive thing in society.
Damn. That’s more than I paid for college, and I had the GI Bill…
You’re correct. See tagline.
The village isn’t worth saving. It’s the rebirth that interest me.
There is only ONE “Free Republic” left. There used to be two, but then the Baby Boomer generation ascended to power.
