“Marine Sgt. Maj. John Canley’s astounding heroism in Vietnam 50 years ago speaks for itself, so loudly that Wednesday he was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Donald Trump at a White House ceremony.”
“Canley's daughter Patricia Sargent knows how her father took command of the undermanned Company A, First Battalion, First Marines despite shrapnel wounds during the bloody battle of Hue in 1968.”
“How he set up a base while caught in a “deadly crossfire,” drew fire by darting into the open so his Marines could seize a building and carried wounded Marines to safety while exposing himself to the enemy.”

“In 2010, German scientists found that a Pfizer veterinary vaccine to reduce diarrhea in cows caused a fatal bleeding disease in their calves.
Even after pressure from Germany caused Pfizer to stop selling the vaccine there, the company kept selling it elsewhere.
A top Pfizer official told British farmers it was safe to use and that “other factors” were likely involved.
A month later, Pfizer stopped selling the vaccine. European regulators later found it caused a 1-in-6000 risk of the bleeding disease.
Left-wing tyrants are famous for calling their ramshackle one-party states “democratic.” Joe Biden’s endless blather about democracy while treating his political opponents as “domestic enemies” belongs to this tradition. He equates democracy with unchallenged liberal tyranny.
What he calls “threats” to democracy are nothing more than instances of public resistance to his attempts to build a one-party state in America. He wants docility, not democracy, and seeks to eliminate his political foes as crudely as any tinpot leader of a banana republic.
In Edward Luttwak’s extremely interesting book Coup D’état: A Practical Handbook, he outlines a series of practical necessities a successful overthrow entails.

“The Australian Government donated the vital baking staple through the World Food Program as part of a $100 million handout which also includes other UN agencies.”
This year governments across the developed world have issued a flurry of policies designed to ‘nudge’ people to get the vaccine, such as requiring vaccine passports to enter leisure venues.
In some countries, those nudges quickly turned into shoves. In November, Austria pioneered the ‘lockdown for the unvaccinated’, making it illegal for the unvaccinated to leave the house without a state-mandated excuse.
