USA Today reports Trump has Officially Begun to Withdraw the US From the World Health Organization as Pandemic Spikes:

The Trump administration has officially begun to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grip the globe and infections spike in many states across the U.S.

Congress received formal notification of the decision on Tuesday, more than a month after President Donald Trump announced his intention to end the U.S. relationship with the WHO and blasted the multilateral institution as a tool of China. The White House said the withdrawal would take effect on July 6, 2021.

[...] The formal withdrawal comes as the United States nears 3 million reported coronavirus cases and more than 130,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Globally, there have been 11.6 million cases and almost 540,000 deaths.

    Does not argue against the basic fact that liberals are better armed, better shots, possessed of superior fire control, and will mow down all you 2nd Amendment types with the proper application of the Second Amendment: All Enemies, foreign and Domestic, y'all! We will not be coming for you, but just think, when you march into some city street, did not the term "ambush" ever enter your mind? Liberal Snipers? No, they would never do that! Unless, it was necessary to defend freedom. See how that works?

    I hope they are only using FMJs, but I can't guarantee it.
