The unfolding events surrounding President Trump’s former Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, and the FBI’s questionable tactics shed light on serious concerns about government overreach and the erosion of our civil liberties. For those of us over 60, who have lived through decades of changing political climates, it is profoundly alarming to witness how our institutions, once respected for their integrity, seem to have taken a partisan path that undermines the rights of American citizens.
The shocking revelation that Scavino was subjected to invasive overreach by the FBI, along with Google’s cooperation in disclosing his private information, is more than troubling — it represents a direct assault on fundamental rights that all Americans hold dear. As citizens, we should rightfully expect our privacy to be respected and our reputations protected, regardless of political affiliations or public service to our nation. The fact that such invasive measures were employed under the guise of national security raises a clear flag of injustice that demands our attention.
During President Trump’s tenure, we witnessed his administration struggling against a narrative largely controlled by big tech, Hollywood elites, and a biased media. Now, with facts emerging about the FBI’s questionable practices, many are starting to feel that the framework of justice is being manipulated to silence dissent. The reality that prominent Trump associates, like Scavino and FBI Director Kash Patel, are experiencing this raises concerns for all who stand firmly against the radical Left’s agenda.
The comparison between Kevin Clinesmith’s lenient punishment for falsifying FISA Court evidence and the potential lifetime penalties faced by attorneys challenging the 2020 election reflects a deep inequity in our legal system. It highlights the duplicity within our government institutions and the idea that certain individuals are seemingly protected while others—typically those with conservative viewpoints—are targeted.
Moreover, the notion that technology companies like Google willingly submit to government requests for data without defending user privacy raises important questions about their role. As hardworking Americans who value accountability and respect for the law, we must ask ourselves: Is this the kind of government we want to accept?
In the spirit of protecting the rights of every American—especially those who have served this nation loyally—we must stand united. It’s time to demand transparent leadership and accountability from those who hold power in our government, media, and technology sectors. Our voices need to be heard as we refuse to allow partisan agendas to overshadow our liberties. Together, we can remind those in authority that we are watching and will not be silenced.
