@robertcobrien Congrats to Andy! He will be a great asset to the firm.

Thank you, @gatewaypundit, for bringing this story to the American people.

No matter what is said or thrown my way, I will never stop believing in the goodness of the American people.

Moments like this don’t weaken my resolve—they strengthen it. They remind me why we must fight harder to bridge our divisions, restore civility, and bring our country together.

We are Americans first, and America’s greatest days are still ahead of us.

The mandates they did during COVID was a taste of Socialism. A level of control imposed to desensitize you to your willingness to give up your freedoms for the “greater good”.

That is why my campaign is standing up against this socialist ideology. Let’s stand up and make our voices heard. My new campaign t-shirts are ready for purchase.

So it was a bad flu, as many of us said at the time - including Fauci in his diary while he peddled panic publicly to keep growing his power and feeding his ego.

[Russell Laird @RussellLaird11]

@JenniferSey I can relate to a lot of this but not quite to the extent that you had to deal with. We can’t change the past but should try to learn from it and achieve accountability to prevent recurrence.

[Russell Laird @RussellLaird11]

A lot of truth here.

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

I’m having a very hard time reading the Fauci diary excerpts.

It’s bringing it all back. Everything from 2020 through 2023.

I spoke up early and often.

Starting from the very beginning -- in March 2020 -- I was against all of it, but I had a particular focus on kids and school closures. As a Democrat (former) in deep blue San Francisco, this made me a heretic. A target.

I tweeted, yes. But I also led rallies in San Francisco to open the schools. I sat through virtual school board meetings that dragged on for nine hours and somehow never addressed the actual elephant in the room: the schools were closed.

I wrote op-eds. I went on local media to plead with the school board, the teachers' unions. I did everything I could to get the public schools open -- just like private schools already were. I have 4 kids. All public school kids.

I lost most of my friends in this process of speaking up. There are family members I haven’t spoken to in over five years (their choice) and almost certainly never will.

And then there was my career which I'd spent 30 years building. Gone.

People love to say, “But it was worth it. You spoke the truth. You made a difference.”

The truth is: I’m not sure that’s true.

Schools in San Francisco stayed closed until September 2021. I made zero difference. I tried. It did nothing.

Reading these diary entries is brutal. I find myself weeping while reading them, and then I have to stop. I can't take it. I can't put myself through it.

This egomaniacal little shit of a man who lied constantly about everything: masking, spread, the vaccines, the closures, the origin. HE KNEW HE WAS LYING ABOUT ALL OF IT.

He goes on and on in the media and with his celebrity friends, soaking up the spotlight while lives were being ruined. He's gloating about Julia Roberts and Kim Kardashian and Barbra Streisand like some teenaged social media influencer. He's having private dinners with journalists while telling us we can't see family for Thanksgiving.

Many kids still haven’t recovered from the isolation. The disruption to their development.

And my life was upended and will never be the same.

It would be nice to say “Yeah, it was all worth it.” But I don’t know. And it’s all very hard to read. Because I was a nobody fighting a machine that was never going to fold.

I could have stayed quiet. Gone along. Pulled my kids out of public schools and put them in private. But it was never just about my kids. It was about everyone's kids.

If I'd done that, it would have all just passed. My life would have remained intact. I gained nothing. And impacted nothing.

People love to screech that I’m a grifter. The grift would have been staying quiet and leaving my reputation and salary intact. But I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. Because I knew that children were suffering.

And I lost it all.

He was a liar and I was right, and it doesn’t matter because I still lost it all.

It’s all very depressing right now. I have no sense of: “Yeah, but I did the right thing.” Maybe because I'm not a person of faith.

I just feel utterly deflated and sad about it all.

There are no rewards for going early. Just disdain. And loss. And you never get it back. No one will apologize for cutting me off after 30 years of friendship, for trying to take me down and end my career. More importantly, no one will apologize to the children harmed. To the families who could not care for dying loved ones. To the small business owners who lost it all.

No apologies to anyone.

And the fact is, you never get back what you gave up trying to do the right thing. You remain cancelled. And those other people who did the cancelling, they don't even know about the Fauci diaries.

So yeah, it's all kind of hard to wade through at the moment. And fight against the black-pilling of my soul.

The new campaign shirts just came in and it is time to make a statement. This is a non-partisan issue… majority of Americans, especially those who fled socialist countries do not want this here in the US.

Get your t-shirt today and help support our campaign.

@JPLindsley When you understand the origin of the “nazis in Ukraine” narrative you understand how incredibly stupid it is for people to still fall for this nonsense. “Making Bombs for Hitler” is a quick easy book to read about that.

[Russell Laird @RussellLaird11]

@USAmbNATO Thank you for your leadership on this.

@Dmytro250 Slava Ukraina!

[Russell Laird @RussellLaird11]

@RLHeinrichs Ukraine isn’t waiting on Senate action. Their sanction strategy seems to be making progress.

[Russell Laird @RussellLaird11]

@snits_churchy @IWF @mobbs_mentality Good analysis.

The beating Ukraine is giving to Russia is Biblical: It’s like David doing in Goliath.
