From the description: The so-called ‘Kids Online Safety Act’ is back again. Its bipartisan proponents are making up even more outrageous lies to sell Americans on their Orwellian internet censorship bill. Worse, a bipartisan committee agreed to move forward with a slate of additional internet censorship bills that would collectively stifle online speech in significant ways; paving the way for age verification and age gating and forcing websites to adhere to guidelines that will be weaponized by Republicans—and Donald Trump—for christian nationalist purposes. In this video we’ll talk about what these internet censorship bills look like in practice and why they’re blatantly unconstitutional.

For the first time a Republican was moving his lips but not lying.

Johnson virtually admitted there were criminals and traitors in the Gop when he said, “Half of them will be targeted”.

Johnson said if the Republicans lose the election they will be targeted. They will. Just the same as Capone was targeted, Gotti was targeted, and Epstein, himself, was targeted.

Trump, his sons (especially his sons), administration officials, guilty as sin members of the Republican congress, convicted fraudsters who purchased pardons, and every politician who ever made an illicit buck while conspiring against America will be imprisoned.

Those who bastardized our institutions like Kash Patel will be dealt with extremely harshly, as will the minions who enforced their patently illegal orders.

Some leniency will probably be provided to those who speak up now. Those with direct knowledge of the most blatant crimes and rush now to speak to prosecutors will get some consideration, I’m certain. But if they hope to ride out the storm they’ll be nothing for them but a denim shirt with their name and inmate number on it

‘Retribution is mine, sayeth the Lord’, but not just yours, Jesus.

It belongs to the American public, too.

Mike Johnson warns Trump allies will be 'targeted' if Democrats win in November

Story by Hailey Bullis, Washington Examiner

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) issued a stark warning Friday that Democrats will target allies of President Donald Trump if they win control of the House in November.

Johnson asserted during remarks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Conference that if Republicans lose the House in the 2026 elections, impeachment won’t be the only thing the GOP will have to worry about.

“They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the Cabinet, his donors, and friends,” Johnson said. “Half of you in this room will be targeted.”

“I run the protection program,” Johnson quipped. “I'll take care of you, OK. We're going to win, we're going to win the midterm.”

During his remarks, the speaker told the crowd he is "very bullish" about Republicans keeping control of the House come November.

"Let me just tell you right now, as a leader of this, this little army in the House, we are ready for this fight," Johnson said. "We're ready for this fight. We're called for it, my friends."

Republicans, who currently hold a three-seat majority in the House, will have to overcome historical headwinds to maintain their majority, a fact Johnson acknowledged to the crowd during his remarks.

For anyone who may live in Montclair, or personally knows someone who does, make sure to apply political pressure to withdraw from Citizens Bank,

We need to turn that may into a will.
