I heard someone say the other day that the Biden administration was the most corrupt administration in American history.
That’s saying quite a lot considering that there were other candidates for most corrupt administration like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Ulysses S. Grant (effective general, terrible President).
But there’s no question to anyone taking even a remotely objective viewpoint of the Biden administration that it was rife with corruption, and if there’s one especially bitter aftertaste that I have from that administration, it’s about how they treated people that they disagreed with. They harassed them, gaslighted them, tried to have them banned from social media.
They acted, essentially, like a dictatorship with a secret police, and who did anti-2A administrations, like the Biden administration, target the most? Political conservatives, and, yes, they included legal gun owners in that group.
Now, there is a government program that was especially offensive and wasteful, and we’re only just now hearing about how bad it was because the Trump administration is ending it. From an article from the BlazeTV Staff:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has announced the end of an Obama-era program that involved spying on U.S. citizens — and cost those citizens hundreds of millions in tax dollars a year.
“Today I’m announcing that TSA is ending the Quiet Skies program, which involved having a federal agent follow U.S. citizens as they traveled by air. It was created by Obama in 2012 to supposedly track dangerous individuals, but instead it was weaponized against political enemies such as Tulsi Gabbard,” Noem said in a video posted to social media.
“Since its existence, it has failed to stop a single terrorist attack, while it cost U.S. taxpayers roughly about $200 million a year,” she added.
I’m glad to hear that Noem is ending this vile program. It just should have never been started in the first place.
But considering the administration that it was started under, I shouldn’t be surprised, I suppose.
