Many of these are the same people who've quit civilian jobs.
Now they'll be driven out of the Guard & Reserve, which are prioritizing mobilized troops for vax deadlines.
Sensible posture wd be: (1) "Vax" & non-vax treatment measures widely available. 1/7
(2) Vax reqmt at discretion of health care orgs. Not blanket orders & job threats from govs/mayors. (3) Mil policies may incl vax & treatment; *must* offer treatment. No withholding treatment options. (4) NO general fed mandates. (5) NO mandates at any level for minors.
2/7
(6) Transparency on record/analysis of all vax/treatment info. NO search engine/social media censorship. Censorship *correctly* makes public suspicious & cynical.
Makes sense for health orgs to require "vax" for some jobs/roles, now that they're available. Already the case...3/7
...for a number of disease vaxes. No reason why shouldn't be done for COVID-19 - *when vax has final FDA approval (not EUA).*
But must not be politicized anywhere w/govt endorsement. No BS/false claims about "stopping spread" of disease, which vax manifestly does not do. 4/7
Intense politicization, false/constantly changing claims, lockdowns, "passports," & overkill for access to general public venues, threats issued by govts, media censorship - these are why COVID vax isn't seen as simply being like other vaxes... 5/7
... typically req'd for certain situations (health care, food workers, military, childhood diseases & public school).
If COVID "vax" settled out to annual shot like flu, VOLUNTARY except for limited situational reqmts like above, most ppl wd readily accept that. 6/7
For the record, I care a lot more about everyone else than you do.
Just getting there first with that pointless, absurd virtue-signaling claim. 7/7

Though I differ somewhat w/Carlson, I thought Rep. Turner came off really badly. Old-think. Sclerotic. (Condescending.)
We DO NOT need troops in Ukraine.
That said, we have pragmatic geo interest in power dynamics of E. Med - which start in Black Sea.
Short version: ... 1/7
Deter Russia versus Ukraine; good enough.
Other things to improve our overall security situation incl. securing US border. Job 1. Essential to our *global* security posture; no credibility vs. China/Russia w/out it.
Decouple from econ codependence on China. 2/7
Reinvigorate NATO Europe - mainly by ending self-destructive pandemic & econ/social policies. A win: leads with tending to our own ppl.
Strong/useful alliances & periodic tagging w/naval power are most efficient way to deter aggression *against US interests* ... 3/7
Stringing out vax mandate deadlines serves to increase misery for entire USA before pushing nuclear button. 1/4 nationalreview.com/corner/after-t…
Threat of mandates (Biden's & state/local ones) has already prompted significant number of employees to quit jobs, even before implementation.
That adds to econ & health/public safety shortfalls for rest of America. Gives impact time to build up. 2/4
Yet many mandates incl Biden's not even implemented yet.
Biden's not being nice for Christmas. Tough decision for many will loom over holidays.
Those who decide to quit will already know they have to, ... 3/4
Some context. WSJ 24 Sep:
"The Port of Los Angeles is holding back on extending its gate hours as encouraged by the Biden administration..." wsj.com/articles/port-… 1/4
"Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said there is slack in the system that connects inbound and outbound containers to trucks serving inland distribution points. He said 30% of trucking appointment slots for transferring cargo go unused each day... 2/4
"Mr. Seroka said the port can extend operating hours only if trucking, warehousing and other industries also move toward 24-hour operations...
"Steve Hennessey, chief operating officer of the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents terminal operators, said... 3/4
Addendum to thread. @ChuckRossDC posts KEY missing link: documented potential in Durham court filing for 3rd party to *fake* links btwn Alfa Bank & Trump server. Add1/5
Very important b/c it expands motive to 3rd parties.
Look back at who was engaged w/Russian intel in Mar 2016.
Brennan talking to. Comey watching Russian intel chatter.
Alfa Bank rumor goes fm former CIA Baer to Shearer in Mar-Apr 2916, before pings started. Add2/5
Proposition: it wasn't Russia w/motive to fake Alfa Bank contacts w/Trump server.
Whole Spygate drama tells us it was DNC/Hillary.
Whom did Brennan esp. help w/his series of actions? E.g. Aug 2016 pushing NSC-level "task force," exhorting Congress on Trump probe. Add3/5
This could, actually, be "the one" that blows the whole thing open, if the string is fully pulled.
Timeframe of 1st mention of "Alfa Bank" rumor was, as others have noted (*5/5), before the server lookups started on 5 May 2016.
Shearer got Baer (fmr CIA) tip in Mar-Apr 2016. 1/5
Some big movements in that period. 1. Brennan trip to FSB in Moscow. 2. Exposure of contractor access to unminimized USPI at FBI (meant a plan had to change - MAJOR juncture). 3. Page & Pdop installed on Trump campaign team; overtures by FBI/CIA-linked actors to Pdop began. 2/5
Oddly enough, Comey's long-maintained allegation of Russian intel showing Loretta Lynch had assured Hillary staffer the email probe wouldn't go too far...gave Mar 2016 as its timeframe.
Motive alert? 3/5 libertyunyielding.com/2018/04/18/com…
There's been more than one NATO command in Norfolk, including Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT) for many yrs in the Cold War. Had the counterpart "SACEUR" in Europe. SACLANT was shuttered in 2003. 2/4
Allied Command Transformation is a training command with a peculiar name but a standard mission to develop vision, doctrine & common standards for the Allied forces. act.nato.int 3/4
