Dept. of Homeland Security flirting with
totalitarianism

Original Article

Now that the Department of Justice and FBI are using the 1/6/21 Capitol incursion to demonize all who attended the massive rally that day, imputing “insurrection,” “white supremacy,” and “extremism” to them, massive political repression may be coming. Consider this from Politico: The Department of Homeland Security is considering monitoring the travel of domestic extremists and expanding its use of the No Fly List, law enforcement sources told POLITICO. The discussions are part of the Biden administration’s strategy of treating domestic terror as a national security threat, and not just a law enforcement problem.

Comments:

So, now if you attend a Trump or DeSantis rally, you can be called a 'domestic terrorist' and blocked from flying? And probably lose your job, too.
The Constitution is totally shredded, our rights are being erased rapidly. Political disagreement is being criminalized.....sort of. If you had criminal charges, you could be found innocent. That won't happen if you are just fired and can't get on an airplane.
And meanwhile, the REAL Muslim terrorists are permitted to shoot down white folks, even after the FBI says that they 'are aware of' the terrorist.

Yes we are #2 as frightening as it is ... The Republic of Texas approaches. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota ,Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida. We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of. California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west. If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

Don’t be surprised if next Biden and Camila, our fake presidents, propose that anybody ever registered as other than democrat or having a documented contribution to any political figure other than democrat be placed on a No Fly list. But look at the bright side. Better than a firing squad.

Every person in DC on 1/6/2021 is now in the FBI and HS database. The Chinese and Russians have likely stolen it by now, and will launder it to the media platforms for blocking these individuals from using their platforms.

And just what did you think would happen when our response to the failure of existing entities in part caused by lack of communication between them was to create yet another agency? Did anyone expect anything good to come of it? Our defense let us down by an over focus on offence and we didn't fix it.

The quick question, did they have a permit to assemble for that Jan 6 rally? If so, and if you didn't actually enter the Capitol building, which was locked, I would suspect they are violating your Constitutional Rights by designating anyone as "guilty" who even simply attended the rally. Due process seems to be excluded in this matter.

Re: #3 - If traditional, conservative Americans were willing too put their lives on the line to support your oft-stated idea of reconstituting the Republic of Texas, there would be no need for your idea, as the leftists would be too afraid of an armed confrontation with a dedicated and capable populace willing to kill or die for their beliefs. Conservative Americans have allowed their voting rights to be taken from them with no pushback and the leftists have taken notice. As a Texan-American, my preference is to do what is necessary to preserve the United States and the Constitution I've sworn multiple oaths to protect; however, I could get behind a negotiated "divorce" to split the country to prevent having to fight against Americans with whom I've served under arms just because they are from the leftist dominated parts of the country.

Let me be honest from the start of this. I’m not religious. I’m an agnostic. That is, I cannot say with any degree of certainty whether God exists or not. That would be any God, Christian, Muslim, or take your pick. My belief is much like a coin, flipped into the air to land, improbably, on edge and stand there. Perhaps wobbling and teetering a bit, but not ready to take that leap of faith one way or the other. To me, it seems that deciding to believe that God’s there or not, has to be done without the benefit of convincing evidence for or against
Taming the Chinese Rare-Earth Tiger 3 replies
Posted by DVC 3/18/2021 1:06:38 PM Post Reply
Much is made of China's dominance in the rare earth elements (REE). Currently, China controls over 90% of the refined or processed market for REEs. Most advanced technologies, including weapon systems, depend on REEs, and adequate substitutes do not exist. On the surface, China's monopolistic control over refined REEs induces a severe case of the vapors among U.S. national security analysts. But how extensive and stable is China's control of the REE market? If China's market control is neither extensive nor stable, perhaps doing nothing or policies that target China's Achilles heel would be the U.S.'s best course of action.
The Case for Closing Public Schools…

For the past year, parents and students across the county, mostly in Democrat-run municipalities, have been experiencing excessive levels of stress due to unending school closures. Red states like Florida, Texas, and South Dakota have been open for months. Meanwhile, the teacher’s unions have a stranglehold on the public schools in Democrat states, refusing to open for a litany of absurd reasons. Part of me sympathizes with the conservative parents who are struggling to cope with working from home and the online curriculum management of their children. (Though that sympathy does not extend to liberal parents who knowingly voted for this lunacy.) But I am struggling to understand why

Lots of people in Kansas and Missouri looked at their phones in confusion Tuesday morning at a tornado warning that did not indicate it was a test.Both states had long-planned to send out a tornado warning test Tuesday at 10 a.m., but a mistake in the process caused that warning to appear legitimate.

Recently on FOX News's Hannity show, Ari Fleisher, a self-described member of the establishment GOP, weakly attempted to placate both sides of the fractured Republican Party. He emphatically pleaded the argument that the establishment needs to respect the patriot wing, and the patriot side needs the establishment to know how to pass laws. I am sure I was joined in a collective double-take upon hearing Mr. Fleischer's disconnected reasoning. Since 2008, the Republican Party has been in a political downfall. Each political cycle, the self-lauded establishment GOP overwhelmingly endorsed weak candidates across the board

It's February. The star-spangled kneelers of the NFL have given way to their imitators in the NBA, and soon some millionaire dugout squatters of baseball will be adding their insults to the flag they hate. Today is February 23, an otherwise unremarkable day in history. The first Gutenberg Bible was printed, the first Salk polio vaccine shot administered, and Mississippi was allowed back in the Union.

I’ve made a minor hobby of looking skeptically at immunizations since my case report on atypical measles was published as the centerpiece article in JAMA 45 years ago. That case illustrated at least one unpublicized problem from immunizations. It seems that the original measles vaccine, “a killed measles vaccine” was given to preschool kids beginning in 1962-63 and available until 1968. It did prevent measles for about six years. Thereafter, when these kids were exposed to measles they sometimes developed an inverted and much more serious illness. My case was the first that occurred in a young adult 14 years after immunization.

Make the "United States" plural again. Is that so much to ask? Up until the Civil War, that was the customary grammatical construction. "The United States of America are committed to..." "The United States of America have declared war upon..." "The United States of America stand together..." Ah, there's the rub. These United States of ours do not really stand together anymore on anything, and only the linguistic shrewdness of treating the "United States" as a singular entity provides the fictitious veneer of national unity.

The program is the latest experiment with a “guaranteed income,” an idea that giving poor people a set amount of money each month helps ease the stresses of poverty that often lead to poor health while hindering their ability to find full-time work. The idea isn’t new, but it’s having a revival across the U.S. after some mayors launched small, temporary programs across the country in
