While on pretrial release, Josh Pruitt went on CNN to say that he'd attack the Capitol again, given the chance. Because of this statement, and also because of multiple threats he made to his girlfriend and others, AND CURFEW VIOLATIONS (trying to sound like Arlo Guthrie, here), prosecuters are trying to revoke his pretrial release.
WHY he was on pretrial release seems to be unanswered. He was a member of the Proud Boys, with a long rap sheet. HE WAS EVEN WEARING A GPS ANKLE MONITORING SYSTEM WHILE ATTACKING THE CAPITOL BUILDING!!
I would have been FINE with ALL Capitol attackers being locked up until trial. But THIS guy?

"Calling the incident a tragedy that could have easily been prevented, authorities announced Wednesday that a local 2-year-old had died in an accidental shooting after discovering his father’s gun hidden under a pile of guns."
' "You can only imagine what was going through the parents’ minds when they heard a shot from upstairs and both dropped their guns to go see what had happened." '
It's sad that this is funny; it's funny because it is so close to the truth.
SATIRE, FOLKS! The Onion is satire!

An interesting NPR article, explaining how Israel, which had a very high vaccination rate overall, worked to win over Hasidic communities which had been convinced that the vaccine would cause infertility in women.
Health officials worked to win over some of the senior Rabbis, who agreed to take part in the campaign. But there were still pockets of resistance in the communities. It took a tragedy in one community to win over the skeptics.
"Osnat Ben Sheetrit, 31, ran a wig and bridal salon for the ultra-Orthodox community and lived in the West Bank settlement neighborhood of Har Shmuel, near Jerusalem. In February, she was about to give birth to her fifth child. She remained hesitant about getting vaccinated, even after Israeli health experts and rabbis endorsed vaccines for pregnant women.
Her husband finally convinced her to make her a vaccine appointment that same month. But before she could get vaccinated, she was infected with the coronavirus and was hospitalized.
She gave birth while sick, but her newborn survived only a few hours. Shortly after the baby died, Ben Sheetrit died, too."
The battle against vaccine hesitancy among Israel's Ultra-Orthodox

I think any politicians who accepted donations from this guy need to be exposed.
Major Utah GOP donor says 'the Jews' are using COVID-19 vaccines to 'euthanize the American people'
Source: Rawstory.com
