Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has taken significant action by dismantling the Foreign Malign Influence Center, a controversial Biden-era agency that collaborated with social media platforms to suppress conservative voices. The announcement came during an appearance on Jesse Watters’ program, where Gabbard highlighted the core issue at hand. “Here’s what’s interesting, Jesse, is this was created under the Biden administration, and ultimately it has been used, and this is documented,” she asserted, emphasizing the center’s role in censoring opinions contrary to the administration’s narrative. Gabbard pointed out that the agency mischaracterized dissenters as agents of disinformation. This surveillance was…

In addition to past measures, Trump ramped up military support for…
Andrew Roth leads the State Freedom Caucus Network, an organization dedicated to empowering conservatives to gain control over state governments nationwide. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Roth emphasized the prevalence of what he calls “swamps” in every state, stating, “There are 50 swamps.” He pointed out that certain “liberal Republicans” partner with Democrats to expand government, creating a “uniparty” dynamic that undermines true conservative values.

While they may profess strong stances on issues like…
