Effectively, that is a headline you don’t learn on a regular basis. 

Terry Newsome, a Chicago father, was positioned on a flight watchlist by President Joe Biden’s Division of Justice after he expressed opposition to pornographic and sexually express books in his youngsters’s faculty library. 

Clearly he’s a menace – to the leftist indoctrination regimes, not less than.

In the summertime of 2021, Newsome, together with a number of different mother and father in Chicago’s Downers Grove district, merely exercised their First Modification rights by protesting particular books in youngsters’s libraries. Flash ahead to December of 2022, when Newsome tried to board a airplane to Phoenix and came upon he’d been positioned on a authorities flight watchlist.

Newsome, his household, and some pals had been on their option to Turning Level USA’s Amerifest convention in Arizona once they encountered an issue printing their boarding passes. After they lastly acquired the tickets, Newsome came upon he couldn’t undergo the TSA pre-check lane that he’d been utilizing for over a decade. At first, Newsome mentioned he was confused. However later, by means of a letter, he came upon the explanation why. 

Newsome mentioned he’d been given the “quad-S” designation, as The Epoch Instances reported, which subjected him to much more screening than people with regular boarding passes. The Epoch Instances identified that SSSS fliers usually obtain a “full-body pat down,” have their arms and toes “swabbed to examine for explosives,” and should take away each merchandise from their bag “whereas the bag is completely searched.”

When Newsome lastly made it to his gate, he and his household had missed their flight as a consequence of the entire further screenings. Earlier than he might board a brand new flight, the airline needed to get FBI approval for him to fly. 

The Epoch Instances talked about that the identical factor occurred when he tried to fly residence from the convention a couple of days later.

Newsome despatched a Freedom of Info request to the FBI asking for extra particulars concerning his expertise however they rejected his request, saying the federal authorities can “neither verify nor deny whether or not a specific particular person is on any terrorist watch record” out of “confidentiality of presidency.”

I get it. Nevertheless, if I used to be on some “watchlist,” I’d wanna know why, too. 

In the intervening time Newsome nonetheless isn’t 100% clear as to why he was flagged as an SSSS flier, however he instructed Epoch Instances he thinks its due to his “previous political actions.”

After Newsome grew to become a neighborhood spokesman for the opposite involved mother and father in his children faculty district, he obtained threats from Antifia and opposition from Illinois congressman, Rep. Sean Casten. Following the Epoch Instances’ authentic piece on Newsome’s outspokenness, he obtained on-line threats and threats from faculty board members with shut ties to Casten, too. He additionally attended the Jan. 6 rally which, to our present authorities’s eyes, is an computerized pink flag.

Whereas we will’t verify that Newsome’s SSSS standing is a results of his conservative political beliefs, we all know the FBI created a “menace tag” for sure mother and father voicing their considerations at college board conferences, so his proposition isn’t that far fetched.
