“Criminalizing Dissent”

White House Weaponizes DOJ Against Parents

At the behest of school boards that equate disgruntled constituents with domestic terrorists.

It should be obvious that no sane parent would ever allow ideology to supersede the proper education of her children. Yet, during the past year, it became clear that many of the nation’s school systems are indoctrinating students with politically tendentious curricula that most of the public considers . . . well . . . insane. This produced widespread protests by parents of all political persuasions to which school boards have responded with stunning hostility. The magnitude of this animus was revealed this week when the National School Boards Association (NSBA) equated parents with “domestic terrorists” and the White House directed the DOJ to investigate them as such.

Modules on diversity and consent must be completed before any studies can begin

Videos Finally Released to Public from January 6 Obliterate DoJ’s ‘Insurrection’ Narrative

The Justice Department has vehemently opposed the release of videos shot from the Capitol Building surveillance cameras on January 6. They claimed before the court that releasing the videos posed a “national security risk.” But US District Chief Judge Beryl Howell wasn’t buying it, and now we know why.

Doctor reprimanded after reportedly handing out exemption letters near Toronto this weekend

This weekend, crowds descended upon a Richmond Hill walk-in clinic where an apparent pandemic-skeptic doctor was said to be mass-issuing letters exempting patients from ongoing public health mandates.

On Saturday, York Medical, located on Yonge Street near Elgin Mills Road, attracted throngs that lined up around the block to see Dr. Christopher Hassell, who was alleged in a Twitter thread of using his medical authority to sidestep public health measures.

Department of Homeland Security says right-wing extremists used TikTok to recruit January 6 rioters and share ‘tactical guidance’ including advice to bring GUNS to ‘Stop the Steal’ rally

DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis filed a report this April highlighting concerns that violent content was growing on the Chinese-owned social media platform, from promoting the riot and acts of terrorism to instructing others how to build bombs and sabotage railroad tracks.

The five page report, obtained by the Property of the People transparency watchdog group and shared with Politico Thursday, comes as federal authorities examine the role social media companies like TikTok played in the Capitol riot, which left five people dead and more than 600 people charged with crimes.

Federal Judge: Capitol Hill Rioters’ Charges Might Be Unconstitutional

There’s going to be a rally in Washington DC this weekend. It’s why the fencing is going back up around the US Capitol Building. There have been over 400 arrests stemming from the January 6 riot that has incorrectly been dubbed an armed insurrection. It was not worse than 9/11. It was not worse than Pearl Harbor and it sure wasn’t as bad as the Civil War. That’s the narrative in newsrooms. Everyone else has moved the hell on with their lives. NO ONE cares. MSNBC and CNN don’t count. It was not our nation’s best day. It was dark for sure—but it was a riot. Nothing more. And at the end of the day, what occurred were many instances of trespassing on federal property. Only one person died inside the building. Her name was Ashli Babbitt, and she was killed by Capitol Police. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who the liberal media erroneously said was killed by the rioters, died of natural causes. And what the hell happened to the guy who planted pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Republican and Democratic Parties?
