President Joe Biden's bad-idea factory just belched out a doozy: The Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) rolled off the assembly line to the sound of shrieks and Klaxons -- and deservedly so.
The last thing America needs is a taxpayer-funded thought-police bureau that monitors public utterances, condemns them as "disinformation" and then flags them for dutiful erasure by the Democrat-Left’s social-media henchpersons in Silicon Valley.
This wretched concept echoes the mind control of the USSR. Indeed, these bumbling neo-totalitarians gave this monstrosity a name whose acronym is DGB, which rhymes with KGB. One feels sorry for Team Biden – almost.
It would be bad enough if the DGB were a small, stand-alone panel, a la the National Endowment for the Arts. Instead, the DGB operates within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a massive law-enforcement agency with ample guns, ammo, and well-trained federal agents whose firepower would inspire the average enemy of the state to clam up.
