Ministry of Truth Suspended. Nina Jankowicz Returned to Padded Cell

It just doesn’t get any funnier than this.

The Department of Homeland Security’s much criticized disinformation governance board is being paused after concerns it would infringe free speech and complaints about its executive director.

Less than a month after President Joe Biden’s administration touted the initiative, DHS has suspended the board, pending a review, with the future of its leader, Nina Jankowicz, still undecided.

“Nina Jankowicz has been subjected to unjustified and vile personal attacks and physical threats,” a DHS spokesperson told the Washington Post Wednesday. “In congressional hearings and in media interviews, the Secretary has repeatedly defended her as eminently qualified and underscored the importance of the Department’s disinformation work, and he will continue to do so.”

This is wonderful.  An awful government entity has been literally mocked out of existence.  Now let’s get busy working on the Education Department.  And while we’re at it let’s see if we can get Pete Buttigieg sent home too.

Contrary to DHS and WAPO, Nina deserves every bit of ridicule she has been subject to. However, we must not be distracted from the fact that there is no room for a US version of George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. There is no way it can coexist with the first amendment. None. The fact that Biden and the rest of the democrats even thought they… Read more »
