    Free Speech

    What does that mean?
    If you are a democrat it means only what we say can be printed with no alternate replies from anyone! When an administration condemns free speech, they are communists! See how China controls "free speech"!
    Dis-information control? Yeah, democrats at "work" again or is that "woke"!

    the director of DHS announced they are starting a new department with a new director.

    from www.hstoday.us

    A new board at the Department of Homeland Security will focus on countering misinformation and disinformation, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told lawmakers today, with Wilson Center fellow Nina Jankowicz separately confirming that she would be executive director of the board.


    kind of sounds like the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda...

        I thought Al Gore invented "Global Warming".

          Like the 2020 election being stolen, despite all the digging. Maricopa County and the (now bankrupt) Cyber Ninjas being but one of many glorious examples of the shabbiness of that particular lie.

          And indeed, all big lies are shabby after awhile.

            Perhaps SOME free speech will return with Elon Musk buying Twitter.

              He should buy Florida next.

                  Did you see the lunatic who is in charge of the disinformation board? She herself is full of disinformation! And her singing is atrocious!

                    First the democrats invented the term "misinformation" for speech and articles they didn't want to hear or acknowledge. Now it is "disinformation"?

                      As shabby as claiming “hanging chads” in Florida really gave the 2000 election to Gore? As I remember the Dems raised quite a stink about that. The NY Times and other news orgs labored mightily to prove the narrative but came up empty handed. It didn’t stop the Dems from flogging that canard for all it was worth.

                        Free speech it seems is no longer Free. You WILL pay a price if it offends the liberals.

                          I know. They will pass laws, and shift tax burdens to themselves just to feel good about being in charge!

                            I suspect that part of the issue that they want to address is the on-line interference in western countries by the Russian and Chinese governments. it is now pretty well understood that both of these governments have been planting articles and comments in western on-line media that are intended to influence our political systems by appealing to unsophisticated and vulnerable readers with phony stories. Sometimes this garbage is pretty obvious and can be identified by cyber security but not always.

                              It was a Canadian Prime Minister (Mulroney, I believe) who said "We respect free speech, but we don't worship it."

                              He was wrong. Free speech is binary -- you either have it or you don't. If you don't hold it sacrosanct you don't respect it.
