   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.   
      
   Cut!   
      
   "The fact that a federal department with approximately 240,000   
   employees would set up a ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ to enforce   
   the government’s judgement of what information is allowed in the public   
   square should frighten anyone who values liberty and understands how   
   crucial free speech is in maintaining that liberty," Sen. Ron Johnson,   
   R-Wis., told the Daily Caller.   
      
   Unspoken in this debate is the fact that every American has the   
   constitutional right to spew disinformation. Allow me to exercise that   
   natural-born right.
