It’s not lost on me that inch by inch the RW media is shifting. Not much but a little. There are cracks. Joe is gently probing for openings without shaming, condemning, accusing, as he should. Somewhere, someone is listening and I’m tired of the left slamming that door shut no matter what they’d do, no matter how mad we are. Eyes on the prize, that’s what we need.

I call this “Softly and Tenderly.” If you’ve ever attended a Baptist church you know what I mean.

11. Joe's doing great. Enough with the carrots: he's bringing the stick down. How many federal employees

…are there? How many in the military? The VA? Welcome to the new world of required COVID vaccinations or greatly restricted working conditions, for the civilians. Welcome to the new shot, soldiers — period.

Many big employers are already starting to do this, and more will follow suit. Enough is enough.
