The Biden Administration weaponized every agency they could get their hands on.
They used the FBI, the DOJ, and even the IRS to target their political enemies.
But James Comer just exposed one surveillance nightmare that shows how far Biden was willing to go to silence his critics.
Trump administration shuts down Biden’s spy program
Here’s something that should terrify every American who values their constitutional rights.
The Biden Administration was running a secret surveillance program through the TSA that targeted ordinary citizens for enhanced screening and harassment.
It was called "Quiet Skies," and it was everything you’d expect from an administration that treated half the country like domestic terrorists.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is now demanding answers about just how bad this surveillance abuse really got under Biden’s watch.
The Kentucky congressman tried investigating this program last year, but Biden’s cronies at Homeland Security stonewalled him completely. They blocked every request and refused to hand over the documents Congress demanded.
Now that Trump’s back in charge, Comer’s going after the truth. And what he’s already uncovered should make your blood boil.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem shut down this Orwellian program within weeks of Trump taking office. Good thing too, because we’re finding out it was even worse than anyone imagined.
Biden targeted Tulsi Gabbard for criticizing his failures
Want to know how petty and vindictive the Biden regime really was? Look at what they did to Tulsi Gabbard.
The woman who’s now Trump’s Director of National Intelligence got placed on the Quiet Skies surveillance list for one simple reason – she had the guts to criticize Biden and Kamala Harris.
That’s right. A former congresswoman and military veteran was marked for special harassment by TSA agents because she spoke out against the administration’s failures.
This wasn’t some bureaucratic mix-up. This was deliberate political retaliation using the power of the federal government.
Gabbard wasn’t denied boarding, but she faced enhanced screening every time she flew. TSA air marshals were assigned to watch her movements both in airports and during flights.
All because she exercised her First Amendment right to criticize the president.
If that doesn’t send chills down your spine, you haven’t been paying attention to how quickly America was sliding toward authoritarianism under Biden.
Democrats got special treatment while others suffered
The corruption gets even worse when you look at who got exempted from this surveillance harassment.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s husband somehow ended up on the Quiet Skies list in 2023. Makes sense, right? The guy had been traveling with someone identified as a potential terrorist associate.
But here’s where it gets interesting. After the Democrat senator made some inquiries, her husband mysteriously got taken off the list.
Just like that. No explanation. No justification. One phone call from a powerful Democrat, and suddenly the "security concerns" disappeared.
Comer isn’t buying Shaheen’s office’s claims that she didn’t request her husband be removed and didn’t even know he was on the list.
"The case involving Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s husband—who received unprecedented exemptions following direct political intervention despite multiple travels with suspected terrorists—exemplifies these problematic practices," Comer said in his letter to Noem.
So let me get this straight. Tulsi Gabbard gets harassed for criticizing Biden, but a Democrat senator’s husband who travels with terrorist associates gets a free pass after one phone call?
That’s not a security program. That’s a political weapon.
Secret exclusion lists exposed the two-tier justice system
Comer’s investigation has revealed that Biden’s DHS maintained secret exclusion lists that protected certain privileged individuals from surveillance.
Foreign dignitaries, athletes, and select journalists all got special treatment while ordinary Americans faced enhanced screening for the crime of existing.
"The maintenance of secret exclusion lists comprising foreign dignitaries, athletes, and select journalists, created an unequal system that undermined both security effectiveness and constitutional principles of equal treatment," Comer wrote to Secretary Noem.
This is exactly the kind of two-tier justice system that Trump promised to dismantle.
Under Biden, your treatment by federal agencies depended entirely on your political connections and whether you supported the regime.
Criticize the administration? Get surveilled and harassed.
Connected to powerful Democrats? Get a free pass even if you’re associating with terrorists.
It’s corruption so blatant that even Biden’s defenders can’t explain it away.
The $200 million boondoggle that never stopped a single attack
Here’s the most infuriating part of this whole scandal: the Quiet Skies program cost taxpayers $200 million per year.
Two hundred million dollars of our money spent on a surveillance program that Secretary Noem says "never prevented a single terrorist attack."
Let that sink in. Biden’s administration spent $200 million annually to harass political opponents and create a two-tier justice system, all while failing to make Americans any safer.
This wasn’t about security. It was about control.
The program, which started in 2010, was supposed to focus on airplane passengers who didn’t appear on other watchlists but might pose some undefined threat.
Instead, it became a tool for political retaliation and favoritism.
Under Biden, anyone who criticized the administration could find themselves subjected to enhanced screening and surveillance.
Meanwhile, people with actual connections to suspected terrorists got special exemptions if they had the right political contacts.
Comer demands the full truth about Biden’s surveillance state
Chairman Comer isn’t letting this slide. He’s demanding that Secretary Noem provide all the documents and information that Biden’s team refused to hand over.
Specifically, Comer wants an accounting of everyone who got exempted from Quiet Skies during the Biden years, documentation on how names were added or removed, and any evidence of White House interference with the list.
"The Biden administration obstructed the committee’s legitimate oversight and failed to provide all of the documents requested by the committee," Comer said.
Now that Trump’s team is in charge and the program has been terminated, there’s no excuse for continued stonewalling.
The American people deserve to know the full extent of how Biden weaponized federal agencies against his political opponents.
We need to understand exactly who was targeted, who got special treatment, and how decisions were made about surveillance and harassment.
This is why Americans voted for Trump
The Quiet Skies scandal perfectly illustrates why voters rejected the Biden regime so decisively in 2024.
Americans were tired of being treated like enemies in their own country while the politically connected got special privileges.
They were sick of watching their tax dollars fund programs designed to harass and intimidate anyone who dared question the administration.
Most of all, they wanted their constitutional rights restored and the weaponization of government to end.
Trump promised to dismantle the surveillance state and restore equal justice under law. Shutting down Quiet Skies was just the beginning.
But the damage Biden caused runs deep. His administration spent four years teaching federal bureaucrats that they could abuse their power with impunity as long as they targeted the right people.
Rooting out that corruption and holding the perpetrators accountable will take time and determination.
Fortunately, we now have leaders like Comer and Noem who are committed to getting answers and ensuring this kind of abuse never happens again.
The surveillance nightmare is over, but the reckoning is just beginning.
