As citizens of this great country, the privilege of living here is found in the Bill of Rights along with equal opportunity for everyone regardless of race, sex, color, or creed. We have freedoms in terms of speech, bearing arms, voting, etc. When governmental leaders do their best to shut the citizens up, it is illegal, but is rarely viewed that way.
The leftist political machine cannot handle pushback in any way, shape, or form. Here is a recent example. Former US House Rep, veteran, and former presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard was recently placed on the federal government’s terrorist watch list by the TSA. She commented that it was “clearly an act of political retaliation”.
The real question is why? Why would the TSA do that?
What did she do that was so heinous that they would put a leader and “one of Hawaii’s favorite daughters” on such a list?
On August 14, 2024, the Hawaii Tribune Harald published an article to provide further information. It included the following statements,
“’It’s no accident that I was placed on the Quiet Skies list the day after I did a prime-time interview warning the American people about … why Kamala Harris would be bad for our country if elected as President and Commander in Chief. What hurts me the most is the fact that like so many Americans I enlisted because of the terrorist attack on 9/11, deployed to war zones to go after those terrorists, still serve in the US Army for over 21 years, and now my government is surveilling me as a potential domestic terrorist,” Gabbard said. “The real pain this has caused is the stress of forever looking over my shoulder, wondering if and how I am being watched, what secret terror watch list I’m on, and having no transparency or due process.’
Gabbard said it’s about more than her and that every American has ‘the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’
‘They have taken that away from me and my family’, Gabbard said.
She told Racket News in a story published Aug. 7 by reporter Matt Taibibi that she and her husband, Abraham Williams, ‘encountered obstacles’ on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, Texas, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Tenn.; Orlando, Fl.; and Atlanta.
The couple’s boarding passes were marked with the ‘SSSS’ designation, which stands for ‘Secondary Security Screening Selection,’ Gabbard told Racket News.
Gabbard told the news site that she and Williams were forced into ‘extensive random searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.’
‘It happened every time I boarded,’ Gabbard told Racket News. ‘I’ve got a couple of blazers in there, and they’re squeezing every inch of the entire collar, every inch of the sleeves, every inch of the edging of the blazers. They’re squeezing or padding down underwear, bras, workout clothes, every inch of every piece of clothing.’”
I don’t know about you, but this sort of retaliation makes me angry. We live in a land where men and women fought to protect our freedoms that we hold dear. Why are patriots being persecuted?
If the radical left wants to discuss freedoms, they can start with why they are offering free abortions this week at the DNC. To them, sponsoring murder in the name of convenience is completely admissible, but God-forbid, someone have an opinion different than theirs…especially a well-respected governmental servant leader.
Patriots, we must stay vigilant. When these types of reprehensible, anti-American actions take place, we must reach out to our representatives to let them know that enough is enough. They were elected by the people and are charged with listening and representing their constituents.
Things will continue to get more polarized. Know what you believe and follow the proper channels. We cannot let evil prevail.
