What is the point of all these fiery hearings in the House and Senate if the Republicans are just going to do business as usual and not bring about change when it matters?!!

Maybe they do the hearing for entertainment purposes for their constituents, so that gop voters can watch the video clips and be entertained.

After all of the abuse of FISA Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, still wants to extend it, the question is why?

Whose side is Mike Turner on?

They’re not going to stop terrorism anyhow.

Why should they? So what if the “little people of flyover country” are killed or injured? It’s not that Washington wants them around anyhow.

If a terrorist strike occurs then congress will give the bureaucrats even more power.

MESSAGE -— 54 Bipartisan Lawmakers Urge Speaker Johnson
Not to Slip “Deep State Surveillance Authorization” in Defense Bill

Congress should strip funding from the censorship group, NewsGuard, in the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) since it received a $750,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Department of Defense.

If a govt organization is suspected of having political bias, that’s unconstitutional.
The US government cannot support that w/ tax dollars.

And this: a very pertinent point regarding the “outsourcing of censorship.”

NDAA SECTION 1532 “That which government is
constitutionally prohibited from doing, it cannot
contract with others to do.”

Congress must make sure that Section 1532 is preserved in the final version of the NDAA.



FREEPER ACTION

On Sept 7, 2021, the U.S. Dept of Defense gave $749,387 tax dollars to Newsguard Technologies
<><>a private service that scores media outlets on “reliability” and “trust.”
<><>Roughly 40,000 subscribers buy Newsguard subscriptions,
<><>a system of “Nutrition Labels” supposedly emphasizing “safe” content.
<><>Newsguard’s customers include universities and libraries,
<><>users are presented with warning labels as follows
<><>”CBS is great” and “Tucker Carlson is dangerous.”

CONTACT CONGRESS
U.S. House of Representatives:
* Telephone: 202-225-3121
* Website: http://www.house.gov/

U.S. Senate:
* Telephone: 202-224-3121

MESSAGE Americans’ tax dollars are being confiscated by NewsGuard Technologies
<><>this is in violation of Consumer Protection Law,
<><>and Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act,
<><>laws and rules that protects consumers from unfair business practices.

The two subcommittees need to get together and make a bill both subcommittees can agree on.

This very realization hit me hard when I watched Mitch McConnell seem wholly nonplussed about not winning back the senate. He seemed unconcerned before the election as well. He’d rather not have to take any real responsibility for the party at this point .

You’re kidding right. This is the 21st century...It’s a necessity. That’s how we track people...rather than old fashion spy games. It’s a big world out there. Be real.
