Democrats place American democracy in grave peril

 Democrats place American democracy in grave peril - American Thinker     "The past few weeks have been extremely troubling for those who value democracy, freedom, human rights, and civil liberties within the United States of America.

"Democrats have made unprecedented power-grabs.  If left unchecked, democracy will wither away in favor of a sinister police state.

"Recently, Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified that a Disinformation Governance Board has been set up to counter disinformation coming from Russia, China, Iran, the cartels, and other hostile actors, rebutting their misleading information.  Critics have rightly slammed this as Biden's Ministry of Truth.

"In recent days, Mayorkas didn't state the specific powers the board may have; he only said the board would "tackle the threat, not only to election security, but to our homeland security" and would work with platforms to stop it.

"Will they be able to prosecute people for spreading "disinformation"?  Will this board be restricted to focus on social media only as its tool, or will the powers also apply to "right-wing media" directly?  We do not know.". . .
