Speaker Mike Johson (R-LA) backtracked and caved to the deep state and Democrats, moving to slip a deep state authorization into the defense bill.
Reports say that congressional leaders, including Johnson, agreed to put an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill would extend Section 702 until April 19.
This frustrated many conservatives, including those who were supposed to be instrumental in crafting the final texts for the NDAA.
Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) released a video statement after she said that leadership asked conferees, which includes herself, to agree to the 3000-plus page NDAA, which is “being released behind closed doors without even getting time to read it!”
The Peach State conservative blamed Johnson for negotiating with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to “cut a deal” that would contain prohibitions against funding for abortion and “trans surgery prohibitions” that were in the House-passed NDAA under former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

MESSAGE -— 54 Bipartisan Lawmakers Urge Speaker Johnson
Not to Slip “Deep State Surveillance Authorization” in Defense Bill
Congress should strip funding from the censorship group, NewsGuard, in the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) since it received a $750,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Department of Defense.
If a govt organization is suspected of having political bias, that’s unconstitutional.
The US government cannot support that w/ tax dollars.
And this: a very pertinent point regarding the “outsourcing of censorship.”
NDAA SECTION 1532 “That which government is
constitutionally prohibited from doing, it cannot
contract with others to do.”
Congress must make sure that Section 1532 is preserved in the final version of the NDAA.

The FBI was corrupted long before Wray.“
It certainly was but if Trump had put a good guy with courage and will maybe it could have made a difference. Now it is nothing but the rats gestapo.
Ok, bushie. They are using it against us, never-ending that it violates the GOD given 4th Ammendment!
Yeah, they like to call it graymail to make it sound less criminal. The CIA seduces them with children.
“We’re involved in two wars...and you want to limit our ability to track foreign actors??”

That would all be good and fine if we didn’t know how much they abuse their surveillance powers for domestic reasons. They have shown a propensity to engage in unlawful activities. We need strict limitations, accountability and enforcement over such powerful tools. Rubber stamps aren’t sufficient anymore.

Things will be different when they move into their new headquarters building. A clean start. /sarc

Remove him and vote for another speaker again. They need a message sent to them that they must OBEY us.
He is a fake. Thanks to him, he helped kill a pro-life bill.
