Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key impeachment witness against President Trump, retired from the Army Wednesday, with his lawyer citing "a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation" for cutting short his military career. Vindman marked his retirement by tweeting a picture of himself in a rumpled plaid shirt working on a laptop -- a stark contrast to the many photos of him in uniform.

Comments:

Sayonara Lt. Col. Otto Pilot. Your work in Airplane! is the stuff of legend.

Good. Put him to pasture and do not give him a position. I'm sure he will run right to CNN.

I’d bet a month of my husbands full-bird retirement that the other light colonels call this guy The Pillsbury Doughboy behind his back. I think the greatest military on earth will be fine without this fat phone colonel.

now if Col fat face can go to the Ukraine and take that Defense Minister position. How did he earn that Combat Infrantryman's Badge, by the way? I have heard stories about officers lusting after that badge, and rigging the system to get it. Just because Lt Col fat face ate some shrapnel while riding in a vehicle in Iraq, by itself, does not qualify for the badge.

It’s one thing to have a healthy respect and “fear” for your CIC. But to feel bullied??? What would he do on a battlefield? Buh bye.

Let's face it....Lying and plotting the overthrow of your Commander-in-Chief is simply TREASON. I would say that, being permitted to retire on pension, and then get a job with a defense contractor or some other job for the Ukraine, is an awful lot nicer than being given a Luger with only one shell in the chamber and being told to "Retire with honor for the good of your family." Or a piano wire lynch party

Too bad this Traitorous CrapHead couldn't have ended his career standing up against a wall, like other Trators before him, but this time wearing a CCP-Virus Mask and Ear Plugs to Protect his Health for whatever his Future Might or Might Not-Entail. We are living in an UpSide Down World and this November's Election will either Seal Our Fate into Socialist Slavery or Set Us Free to Aspire in the Reagan/Trump mold of our World into the Future. Either way, it'll mean Civil War (Northern Ireland Anybody?) as in, 'Them Against Us' or 'Us Against Them'. When Mr Trump wins, the left will go Totally Berserk and try to destroy every fabric of America.........

Excellent. Any moron that challenges his Commander in Chief because he doesn't like the way the President pursues policy is a fool and does not deserve to be trusted in any important position. He admitted that Trump did nothing illegal, just things Vindman didn't like. Considering that Trump is his boss and the Constitution says what the President says is the way it is, save when laws are being broken. Vindman specifically said that was NOT the case. The man is an obnoxious, bureaucratic jerk.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Nick Rolovich is out as the Washington State football coach after refusing to become vaccinated against COVID-19, a requirement for all state employees, the school announced late Monday. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee had set a deadline of Monday for thousands of state employees, including the Cougars' coach, to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or risk losing their jobs. Assistant coaches Ricky Logo, John Richardson, Craig Stutzmann and Mark Weber are also out, the university said, after not complying with Inslee's proclamation that was issued in August. "This is a disheartening day for our football program," WSU athletic director Pat Chun said in a statement.

Glenn Youngkin will headline 2021’s marquee election contest as the Republican nominee for governor of Virginia. Results from the Virginia Republican Party’s “unassembled” ranked-choice contest cast on Saturday and tabulated Monday put Youngkin at over 50% of allocated delegates in the sixth round of tabulation after 13 hours of counting. Youngkin, 54, is the former co-CEO of the Carlyle Group private equity firm who retired from the firm last summer. A first-time candidate, Youngkin has the ability to self-fund his campaign to a large extent and flaunts his political novice as keeping him free to make decisions without having years of political relationships to maintain.

An anti-President Biden rap song inspired by the viral “Let’s go Brandon!” trend is now sitting at the top of the iTunes hip-hop chart. The song, performed by rapper Loza Alexander and entitled “Let’s Go Brandon,” first went viral on TikTok before making a fast rise up the iTunes hip-hop chart to clinch the number one spot. The song was inspired by the “Let’s go Brandon!” trend that has been sweeping the country since NBC sports reporter Kelli Stavast interviewed NASCAR driver Brandon Brown following his victory at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway earlier this month.

Walgreens announced Tuesday it would be closing five of its San Francisco locations due to "organized retail crime," but police department data, local officials, and policy experts are casting doubt on that reasoning, according to a report published by the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday. While the report said the chain has experienced retail theft, other factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and oversaturation of stores were cited as potential factors behind the decision to close the stores. Walgreens spokesperson Phil Caruso said retail theft across its San Francisco locations has increased in the past few months to five times the

The only thing more laughable than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that spending two months on paternity leave counts as “work” is that the massive infrastructure bill in Congress would do anything to fix the supply chain crisis. When asked on CNBC why the administration waited so long to take action, Buttigieg responded that “we’ve been working this issue from day one”. Well, not exactly. As Politico reported, Buttigieg was “mostly offline” starting in mid-August, and only went on a media blitz after Politico disclosed the fact that he’d been on an unannounced leave.

Democrats have inserted numerous provisions and subsidy programs into their $3.5 trillion budget that would benefit green energy companies and speed the transition to renewables.The Build Back Better Act would invest an estimated $295 billion of taxpayer money into a variety of clean energy programs in what would amount to the most sweeping climate effort passed by Congress, according to a House Committee on Energy and Commerce report. That price tag doesn’t factor in the other costly measures approved by the House Ways and Means, Agriculture, Natural Resources, Oversight and Transportation committees last month.“This bill is crammed with green welfare subsidies, specifically for corporations and the wealthy,”
