Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them.

Federal law defines domestic terrorism as dangerous and illegal acts intended to coerce a population or influence the government. While it can be charged in some states, no generic federal crime exists. Domestic terrorism spans extremist ideologies, but it has been predominantly a far-right phenomenon in recent decades, according to researchers.

Let me guess: Anybody who owns a firearm is a domestic terrorist.

The TEA party would have been against the $2K across the board welfare checks that Donny and Schumer both pushed.

Only conservatives are to be considered terrorists.

...The communists HAVE captured BOTH parties.

There is still Article V. The enemy has not bothered much with the down ballot state elections because the power is now mostly concentrated in the District of Corruption.

This neglect on the part of the RATs/Rino's is our escape clause. The Convention of States already has 15 states signed up and only needs 19 more. We have 2 years to get it done before the Communists reach down into the State Legislatures and steal them too.

As such, BLM & ANTIFA rallies are considered by the government of several states as “official protests”. Any such nonsense by those labeled as “Right-Wing” will be quickly stomped out... because the are not “official”.

Since I can’t get through the pay wall, I’m wondering what WSJ’s bent is on this. Are they implying this is a good thing or a bad thing?

Your tagline seems subversive. You may have to go in for questioning.

Mine too!

They won’t ban your scoped hunting rifle...they’ll call it a “sniper rifle” first.

They won’t ban your travel...they’ll call it “domestic terrorism prevention” first.

They won’t ban you right to free speech...they’ll call it “hate speech” first.
