A Call for Pardon or Amnesty of Those Adversely Affected by the Military COVID-19 and Anthrax Vaccine Mandates

A group of retired senior military officers and others sent a letter to President Donald Trump, expressing their concern about the mandated COVID-19 and anthrax vaccinations.

Signatories included members of Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services, Inc. (STARRS), the MacArthur Society of West Point Graduates, and the Calvert Task Group. Recipients of the June 2 letter also included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, other Secretaries, and various members of Congress.

Shared on X, 20,000 people have viewed the letter.

STARRS Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Michael Rose, told The Gateway Pundit the letter makes a very valid argument for President Trump to “direct full and unconditional pardons and amnesty and follow-up remedies to right the wrongs committed against service members related to vaccine mandates.”

As stated in the letter, “Mandatory COVID shots from 2021 to 2023, as well as the earlier anthrax vaccinations from 1997 to 2003, were formally declared by federal officials to be ‘unlawful as implemented’ and ‘illegal,’ respectively.” Rose pointed out, “There are thousands of military members who have been harmed by their refusal to take those unlawful vaccines that are still suffering.” And according to him, “The remedies simply aren’t coming fast enough.”

In Rose’s opinion, the Boards for Correction of Military/Naval Records (BCM/NR), to which service members rely on to correct legal errors or injustices in their military records, are “slow” and “ineffective.” Requests can take years to be adjudicated, and this is a disservice to the men and women who have donned a uniform in service to the nation, he explained.

“We have to speed up getting people who were thrown out unlawfully back into the military and keep in the military people being discharged from the military unlawfully,” Rose asserted.

“The President has the power to pardon and to give amnesty, so if the courts acknowledge that people have been harmed unlawfully then why not pardon or give amnesty to them?” he asked.

“People deserve pardons or amnesty for all alleged wrongs caused by, or related to, the illegal vaccines, and not just for actions caused `solely’ by the illegal vaccines,” Rose said. “After all, the illegal conduct by the government is many times more egregious than what military members opposing the vaccines are accused of doing.”

For example, former 1st Lieutenant Mark Bashaw Mark Bashaw was discharged from the Army in 2023 after being found guilty in a 2022 court-martial for refusing to participate in the COVID-19 shot requirement, testing, and masking. Giving glory to God, Bashaw announced a pardon by President Trump on May 28.

Because there are so many cases similar to Bashaw’s, Rose and the other signatories of the letter suggest the President consider pardons or amnesty, thereby “wiping the slate clean” for the entire group punished or thrown out of the military for their objections to the COVID-19 or anthrax shots. “He has the authority to declare pardon or amnesty.”

As the powers that be mull these ideas over, Rose called attention to an issue that he hopes will reach President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth. “It is a very important point to recognize that the directives that have come out have said that military members, past and present, should get remedies if the sole reason they were discharged was because of failure to take the COVID-19 shot.”

Rose said, “For many of those who were punished like this, it has been couched in different terms to obscure the truth of the matter.” For example, “Many were unable to promote because they got bad ratings and were subsequently discharged.” The problem here is that “they ignore the fact that the reason the service member didn’t get promoted was because of refusing to take the shot and participate in the unlawful mandate.” Therefore, the sole reason for getting booted from service was for refusing an experimental shot, not an unfavorable evaluation report or a lack of promotion.

What military commanders did to those under their command was “a thousand times worse than someone refusing to take a shot or wear a mask,” Rose argued. “They were the ones violating the law according to federal courts and the admissions of the Secretary of Defense.”

“Therefore,” Rose said, “service members should get amnesty or pardons even if what they were punished for was caused by or related to the illegal vaccine mandates.” For him, the best solution rests in the President’s hands, providing thousands upon thousands of pardons or amnesty for all.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
