Yahoo News, which is a hard left partisan outfit, committed an act of journalism this week: It discovered that the United States Post Office has been running a “covert operations program” to monitor Americans’ social media posts for inflammatory information. That sounds like a bipartisan sin of officiousness that, despite the public nature of many posts, can leak into being a Fifth Amendment violation. However, when you dig more deeply into the article, you discover that the Post Office is concerned only with “right-wing” inflammatory information.

Does this violate The Hatch Act? Is this the reason our mail is delayed? Busy doing other things???

Maybe this is an answer as to why we can't get our mail delivered as fast as usual. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm receiving some bills after the bills are due. The old Post Office slogan about delivering the mail come rain or snow, hell or high water has gone down the drain.
Can we bill them for the "late payment" costs ?

Don't participate in any social media platforms. Cancel your accounts, delete the apps. They are using you and you are allowing it.

Gosh, maybe THAT is why my packages take weeks to get to me, why it took 3 1/2 months for Christmas cards to travel 700 miles, why there is a 50:50 chance that my Epoch Times will be delivered this week, and the counter staff at my local branch act like local representatives of Hades Inc. What I was attributing to affirmative action hiring and poor work ethic with abysmal customer service skills is actually a planned operation. The ability to ignore 1/5 ratings by customers on-line is actually an identification system for their victims - it is all clear now.

This from an organization that can’t balance a budget or do their only job of delivering mail well. No more federal bailouts for them.

Reread the book 1984.

This is a joke right??? The USPS ???? seriously. I live in small town USA in a quiet older neighborhood. Been living here for over 40 years. Folks get each others mail fairly regular. Not to mention the occasional trip to never neverland to mail a small package.

When did this start? Was this part of Obama's big data mining operation that loud-mouth Maxine couldn't help from bragging about?

I presume they used the post office to evade regulations and over site.

Soon, (probably already), You will be put on an USPS/FBI/CIA/DOJ/DHS/FDA etc. watch list if you send to or receive mail from any Trump, Desantis, Abbot etc. campaign, send a check to a Right to Life organization or A Kyle Rittenhouse Defense fund, if you order dietary supplements or seeds from infowars, receive a catalog from anyone who sells shooting supplies etc. etc.etc.,
Of course if you post comments here at Lucianne, or FR, Or Conservative Treehouse etc, you are already on a terrorist watch list, so I guess getting on the USPS list is no big additional deal.

Our 'own' government is fast becoming a more evil rights-abusing tyrant than any English king ever was. Was Ruby Ridge just a new Battle of Concord and Lexington?

The Post Office spying? It's just diversifying..
After all, Obama ordered NASA to develop outreach programs for Muslims.

The post office has been allowed to use "United States" in their name. This poor mail delivery service needs to be abolished. The postal inspectors are a power hungry group that are out of control.

Have had the impression that USPS has been monitoring our mail since 9/11. Its not unusual to get a piece of mail torn open at a corner. Maybe the damage occurred naturally or maybe the envelope was torn open so they could check the contents inside.
As for the USPS monitoring social media, what business is that of there's? I don't see how they can even justify what they are doing. Monitoring mail is one thing, but they have no right to monitor anything else. Yet another example of government over reach.
They will take your freedoms. In this case, your right to free speech.

For over the past two years we have noticed the Post Office has changed. Our Amish friends mailed a food package from Indiana but never it never arrived via the mail to us in California. Apparently someone in the Post Office likes Amish food. Even within the Bay Area, we've had mail never delivered to our friends. Even though the address was correct. Sent a letter to the Post Mistress in Los Gatos, CA asking for help to find an important letter that was missing. Crickets!!! They are arrogant and don't care about us the taxpayers!

The Post Office has always been an instrument of spying. The mail goes to the post office, and the government opens it, reads, reseals, and forwards it to you. This has been done by Kings and Queens for centuries. I would not place any trust in the government.

I gave up TV in 1984, gave up Facebook in 2020, gave up USA Today (clone) newspaper in 1987 and have had continued success with USPS. Call it "snail mail" if you are woke, but it works.

They did this because the laws and regulations governing the postal inspectors is different than other police. So they have free reign. It’s also reliably Democrat top to bottom.
Same reason they used a game warden to cut my lock and snoop around my property for non-existent poaching — they were looking for anything to get a political enemy.
So break no laws. Keep stuff clean. And stay off social media.
Because they are coming for you and will selectively enforce laws.
