The US Army Puts in Place a New Vax Policy

For most of my life, the US Army was a refuge for young men that didn’t have college plans or a trade they intended to learn. It was an organization that offered not just food and lodging, but education and training that could give one a hopeful trajectory in later life. And so, except for the Vietnam war years, the Army had always been able to recruit the men (and now women) that it needed. This began to change in 2020 and 2021. And by 2022, recruitment was down by almost 25%.

There were, no doubt, many reasons for this. But one was the requirement that recruits be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I’m sure when this requirement was imposed, the top brass didn’t think it would have any significant impact. But apparently it did. Earlier this year, Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth issued a memorandum that rescinded COVID-19 vaccine policies. Click here.

Could this be true? Why is Homeland Security sending hundreds of its officers down to the border to assist with “babysitting” the thousands of illegals coming in every day. Shouldn’t they be more concerned with investigating serious crimes – like child exploitation and sex trafficking – up north? Click here.

Meanwhile, thousands – some reports say tens of thousands – are marching toward the Southern border now. Click here.

Yet Another War? And in South America? 

We have Russia vs. Ukraine. Israel vs. Hamas. We have civil wars in Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Libya, Mali, Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria. And we have armed conflicts in Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, and Western Sahara.

And now, in what I assume is a desperate attempt to salvage his wrecked economy, President Nicolás Maduro proposed – and Venezuelan voters approved – that Venezuela should “claim sovereignty over” (i.e., seize) a huge slice (61,600 square miles) of Guyana’s oil-rich Essequibo region. Click here.
