Fighting the Extremism Fight
American Greatness ^ | 6-17-2021 | Angelo Codevilla

What might happen if Republican senators were serious about confronting the Biden Administration’s political weaponization of the intelligence community?

Suppose I had in my hands a draft of a bill that Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) were preparing to prevent the Biden Administration from using federal agencies to encourage U.S. persons to inform anonymously on whomever of their families, acquaintances, fellow workers, etc. they suspect of becoming radicalized to violent extremism. The staffers who provided the draft would probably report that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is pressing the senators to stop work on the bill and to deny they had ever started it....

Well worth the read, as is anything by Angelo Codevilla. He is one of the greatest writers and thinkers today.

Seems the 3 Senators, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Ron Johnson, proposed a bill to firewall the FIB and other 3 letter agencies from Patriots. And Mitch said, "Nope."

Time for Mitch to retire, and let his seat go to a Republican. It’s been in RINO hands long enough.

The GOP needs to get its head out of its butt. It feels like they are handing over ‘22 and ‘24 to the DNC.

Unfortunately, that hand full of fire eaters can start and stop nothing. Screaming bloody murder when the filibuster is no more and the fascists begin implementing the bulk of their manifestos will provide little comfort.

They handed ‘20 to them. Why would the Uniparty (R) do anything different in ‘22?

Agree 100%. And his wife is in bed with China hugely.

True. Maybe they should retire to China. Mrs. Turtle could get a gig with a CCP-run Biotech firm. Perhaps they could use Mitch as a test subject..
