It should require no effort to understand why it is a cause for concern that a Democratic administration is using the FBI to aggressively target an organization devoted to obtaining and reporting incriminating information about Democratic Party leaders and their liberal allies.

“With unshakable faith in government, Biden prepares to be sworn in as the 46th president”
From the Boston Globe last January. The main stream media told us government are the good guys, they wouldn’t lie to us. Sarcasm.
Nice summation of where we are at as a country.
