They don't call them "final throes" for nothing - a creature nearing death unleashes its greatest fury. Or at least that's the optimists take. May we find ourselves worthy of making it so by stepping up with fortitude and resolve equal to the threat.

Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth:
“The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force.
We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.”
Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fansBehind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen. The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze. An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox,
Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War
Boston National Historical Park
During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies.
Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.
