The new Defense Secretary will “take a pause” and examine the political leanings for solders out of fear of sedition. We now have 30,000 troops in DC, to show that the left has the power—what’ll you do about it? “Let’s deprogram white Republicans.”  If someone said , This is enough, and pulled the plug right now, he’d have enormous support.   The Hunter Biden story was material to the election, but was entirely quashed by 90% of the major media. Their new term: Not freedom of speech, but freedom of reach.   Recall the 1930s:  “If you’re black, you can rent anywhere you want, but not my house. Nothing else available? Not my fault.”  – and this is what the FAANG platforms are saying.    They believe they're morally superior, and what they dislike they call “hate speech” and they have special antenna to ferret out meanings; so they need the power to do what’s good for us because we're ignorant. You give up the Bill of Rights and hand it all over to experts with credentials.      https://amgreatness.com/2021/01/31/why-are-progressives-so-illiberal/
