Joe Biden’s final act of shamelessness was pardoning his entire crime family in the final hours of his presidency. There’s a mountain of corruption that’s yet to be fully revealed. On the weaponization of government front, you’d think the sustained lawfare launched against President Donald Trump from the Department of Justice was evidence enough. Pro-life activists and the January 6 defendants also being ensnared by the Biden DOJ’s extralegal crusade on political dissidents. That’s only the tip of the iceberg.
The Media Research Center found not one, not ten, but 57 anti-free speech and censorship initiatives aimed at chipping away at our First Amendment rights. Some you already know, like how the Biden administration bullied Amazon to remove books critical of the COVID chaos created by the experts. Here are some of the MRC’s findings:
The Department of Justice got an activist judge to ban Big Tech platform X and its owner Elon Musk from notifying users of the government’s surveillance.
The White House and the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Disease harassed and threatened Meta employees into censoring content critical of Biden’s COVID-19 policies.
Throughout the Biden administration, the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) had an ongoing partnership with the leftist censorship outfit The Poynter Institute, which manages one of the key entities that directed censorship across Meta platforms.
The study breaks down the issue, who spearheaded it, which institutions it will impact, and how it will infringe on your First Amendment rights.

“Autopen Joe” wasn’t doing most of this, but he would have approved if he wasn’t senile...
