This viral video is nonsense. It begins with a bonkers claim that the Secretary of Defense sent a text to all active military demanding they get vaccinated by 10 AM the next day. There was no such text. Also, the military's actual vaccination deadlines begin in November.

Read decision-makers, one after the other, wishing now they'd done exactly what liberals and leftists were saying they should have done then. Kind of like what you'd hear 20 years after 1965-66. Imagine if they'd just listen to us when it matters. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Josh, an Ohio State grad and former Marine has complied with vax mandates since 1) Ohio State has requirements and 2) so does the Marine Corps. This is fun performance art though. The corn field is a nice touch Josh. 2 middle fingers up.

Revelation in @David_Philipps’s ALPHA: when Eddie Gallagher killed an unarmed farmer in Marja in 2010 while tagging along with a Green Beret team, the SF captain who decided to “quietly get [him] out of there” rather than report it was…Matt Golsteyn (future Trump pardonee).

What are they hiding?
The Republican-led Arizona Senate is fighting to keep secret nearly 3,000 emails and text messages sent by lawmakers and others that relate to the fake election "audit." bit.ly/2WP7lK7

I hope people are paying attention.
Charts show Maricopa County - 4th largest, fastest growing in U.S.- stands to lose 42% of operating budget if it doesn't give AZ senators access to routers under election subpoenas.
