If we cut the federal budget by 90%, they wouldn’t be doing stuff like this. Probably.

The US intelligence agencies are actually doing a good job… if their goal is to be as oppressive as the old East German Stasi. 🕵️

Trump 2.0 will of course try to fix this. It remains to be seen how much ground he will be able to gain against the Deep State.

Everyone involved should be prosecuted for deprivation of rights under color of law. And fired from their cushy FedGov jobs.

--- "It's a very strange world these people inhabit. Over time, of course, the agency ended up demonizing much authentic science plus a majority of public opinion. And yet they stayed at it, fully convinced of the rightness of their cause and the justness of their methods. It seems never to have occurred to this agency that we have a First Amendment that is part of our laws. It never enters the discussion at all."

With a retired, high-ranking officer in the conversation, we chatted about the highest rank in government, military as well as political.

The clear answer upon which we agreed: the law-abiding citizen, armed first and foremost with the Declaration of Independece and United States Constitution.

I was still in college in 2001 and was tasked with writing a paper on the Patriot Act, which I assumed, at the time, that I would absolutely hate. After doing my research, I ended up writing a paper that saw some necessity in forming such an agency to track terrorism on the internet. My professor was as surprised as I was.
Since that time, I have watched what has become of this, once more simple, piece of legislation and how much it has been bastardized and abused.
All to this point- it is time to completely abolish the DHS, the FISA court and any “tie-in” it shares with other agencies. We are often sold garbage by this government of what they tell us increases our security, but only increases their control over US.

DHS was supposed to make sure all of our other agencies, federal, state and local, were sharing information.
It was not supposed to be a new super agency, above the others.
They have turned against ordinary Americans, as have FBI.
They are a source of instability in America and abroad, as is CIA.
DHS should be abolished.

...and people claim they are against Tulsi because she is ‘not qualified’ for the job.

This report is just one example of the REAL REASON that people in high office are scared Shiiteless of Tulsi - she will put an end to the Stalinist nature of the US Government and likely also lead to at least subduing the Maoist nature of most European governments.

any Federal agency violating American’s civil rights should lose all eligibility for further funding and should automatically “sundown” its charter into history

should not even be a question

“Thank goodness at least one judge believed otherwise and forced the agency to cough it up.”

and therein lies a problem....

CISA documented that it deprecated the study of Jay Bhattacharya from May 2020 that showed that Covid was far more widespread and less dangerous than the CDC was claiming, thus driving down the Infection Fatality Rate within the range of a bad flu.

The irritating thing is this was well known, well before May 2020. It was a week in March when COVID went in the space of one week from being a minor item of interest about the disease starting to break out in places like New York, to all schools (etc) shut down everywhere and people going into panic mode.

Due to a fluke I had been paying attention to the very first reports out of China in the first half of January, and then to the arrival of the first cases in the US in late January. It was in late February on a phone call to my wife that I specifically stated, "It has escaped containment [in the US] and is going to sweep the population. But don't worry, for us [healthy adults] it will either be unnoticeable or be comparable to a bad flu." If I could figure that out on my own before the end of February, surely any real expert by that point would have known the same.

There's a 5th column on Freerepublic who enthusiastically parroted the work of CISA. Don't have to name names. We know who they are.

It was a mandate to secure American digital infrastructure against foreign attack and infiltration. And yet during the Covid year, it assumed three huge jobs. It wasthe agency responsible for dividing the workforce between essential and nonessential. It led the way on censorship efforts. And it handled election security...

Homeland should be scrapped along with FEMA - too many stupid commie types running things...
