I grew up in the 50’s, and the threat of Russia was pounded into our heads regularly. Air raid drills were a regular affair. At 7 or 8 years old, I was a very impressionable child, and each time we were herded into the school hallways to sit, I listened for the sound of the planes that were coming to attack us. Now the threat is from our own intelligence agencies.

An agency with a few hundred billion budget which no longer has at its core a purpose becomes a very dangerous beast.

There are many federal agencies in need of disbanding, elimination, and refunding entirely. Let a legislative body reshape the mess. That should have been there job long ago.

Of the same vintage, and remember those drills well. Today there would be mass hysteria, and ACLU lawsuits aimed at shutting those down, as they cause “ irreparable harm to the psych of young people, and undue concern to their parents...

Some judge would step in and ban them...... meanwhile letting a more real danger take down the country without firing a shot. Illegal immigration.
