‘Disinformation Czar’ Jankowicz Returns as Head of New Project Before Election

Nina Jankowicz is back . . . with a vengeance. The former head of the infamous “Disinformation Governance Board”

by Jonathan Turley

Nina Jankowicz  is back . . . with a vengeance. The former head of the infamous “Disinformation Governance Board” within the Department of Homeland Security is now heading a private disinformation group called the American Sunlight Project. With a close election looming in November, Jankowicz has found funding to “to expose and oppose efforts to weaponize disinformation in the United States.” The establishment of the group is only the latest example of how many in politics and media are doubling down on efforts to paint opposing views as dangerous for democracy as the nation readies for a historic election.

Jankowicz promises that “Once researchers are free to conduct their essential work, the American people will gain a better understanding of the nature and severity of the disinformation threats we face,” she said. “Disinformation knows no political party. Its ultimate victim is our democracy…

Bill Proposes “Antisemitism Monitors” for Colleges that Would Limit First Amendment

Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) are introducing the College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act

by Axios and Congressman Thomas Massie

Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) are introducing the College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act – or COLUMBIA Act to create federally sanctioned “antisemitism monitors” for select college campuses. The bill would allow the Department of Education to send a “third-party antisemitism monitor” to any college that receives federal funding — and to revoke that funding for colleges that don’t comply. US Representative Thomas Massie said that policing speech, religion, and assembly is not the role of the government — and it is expressly prohibited by the US Constitution…

$3.5 Billion Slipped Into Ukraine-Israel Aid Bill To ‘Supercharge Mass Migration From The Middle East’

Tucked away in the $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan is a $3.5 billion slush fund to open new processing centers for Muslim migrants

by ZeroHedge, the Wall Street Journal and AP

Tucked away in the $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan is a $3.5 billion slush fund to open new processing centers for Muslim migrants, in what Senator Eric Schmitt described as a bid to “supercharge mass migration from the Middle East.” The $95 billion package does not include any funds to help rebuild America’s border defenses against illegal migration – but it does contain $481 million to settle migrants in US cities, and of course, the $3.5 billion to expand migration programs worldwide.

The $95 billion funding bill for Ukraine and Israel was supported by former President Donald Trump even though he had initially opposed additional monetary aid to Ukraine. Many Republicans have soured on funding Ukraine. Trump was blamed for the failure of a bipartisan border deal linked to Ukraine earlier this year. But there was no provision to shore up the US border in this bill. Critics are concerned that Trump has sold out…
