🇺🇸Retired Brigadier General Donald Bolduc, one of the signatories of the letter questioning the mental and physical condition of President Joe Biden, has rebutted a spate of criticisms against him in an interview with Sputnik.
“Every service member has sacrificed to protect all citizens' ability to have a voice. I realize, with any course of action, others will speak out. I’m just proud to live in a country where we can do so freely,” Bolduc said.
Bolduc is currently running for a Senate seat in New Hampshire in 2022 as a Republican.

🤔 Is the US media turning a blind eye to important issues?
Meghan McCain – an avid critic of Donald Trump, argues that just because “Trump was so bad,” it doesn't mean ignoring problems under Biden is acceptable.
She says there’s a tonne of issues to discuss, including the migrant crisis at the southern border, inflation, unemployment, and tensions in the Middle East.
“These are real problems,” McCain says. “It's like the '70s all over again.”

Do you remember the recent scandal over the CIA’s “woke” recruitment ad?
The US Army followed suit and released its own ad – which has already been dubbed “super-woke” by internet users.
Just like the CIA video, this new clip tells the story of a particular service member, although in the form of a cartoon.
While the CIA’s “Mijo” refused to “internalise misguided patriarchal ideas of what a woman can or should be,” the Army’s “Emma” attends a gay rights parade and “shatters stereotypes” by operating the Patriot missile system.

Warrant? What warrant?
The Pentagon is surveilling Americans without a court order – just like the FBI, Senator Wyden revealed in a letter.
“I have spent the last year investigating the shady, unregulated data brokers that are selling this data and the government agencies that are buying it,” the senator wrote in a letter to Pentagon head Lloyd Austin.
Wyden says his investigation confirms the warrantless purchase of US citizen’s location data by IRS, CBP, and DIA.
Fourth Amendment? What amendment? 🤔

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
Everyone is so tired of watching Karl Rove on Fox News. He has played the game for decades, but all he and his buddies want to do is take your money and run. He’s totally ineffective and does not represent the MAGA Movement in any way, shape, or form. He called me on the evening of November 3rd, Election Night, to congratulate me on my “great win.” When it was revealed the election was rigged and stolen, he flew the coop. Donate your money far more wisely at DonaldJTrump.com!
