Gateway Pundit is circling the toilet bowl of whatever credibility it may have had before. They make money on clicks.

Gets. Get’s would be a contraction for “get is” or a possessive and thus would have to be a noun.

In light of all this, I think this statement by the president was very prescient:

RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!

Well, the Executive Order is real.

Christmas Eve would be a great day to round up conspirators. Christmas Day would be perfect for swift military tribunals at GITMO.

>>>That says it all. We have been promised so much for so long. I guess we will still believe its just around the corner as we are being loaded into cattle cars on the way to our new homes in Northern Alaska.<<<

I live in northern Alaska, and it should go without saying that I don’t want more neighbors. </lame humor>

But seriously, if it get to that point, they’ll have to deal with us. Every home is heavily armed. Kids routinely shoot their first moose when they’re in the fifth grade, and one of the reasons the military likes working with our young men and women is that they’re almost always crack shots and don’t mind a little work in hard conditions. And we’re already wary of governmental decrees from our Lower 48 elites.

Somewhere in the Great Basin sounds scarier.

"Joint Chiefs are an advisory body, and not in the Pentagon’s chain of command."

Huh? Since when are the uniformed Secretaries of the Air Force, Army, Marines, and Navy not in the chain of command? Always thought they were the top of the chain, just under the Chairman, Secretary of Defense, then the President. How could I have been so wrong for so long?

From Wikipedia, for what it's worth.

Following the Goldwater–Nichols Act in 1986, the Joint Chiefs of Staff do not have operational command authority, either individually or collectively, as the chain of command goes from the president to the secretary of defense, and from the secretary to the regional combatant commanders.[7]

Goldwater–Nichols also created the office of vice chairman, and the chairman is now designated as the principal military adviser to the Secretary of Defense, the Homeland Security Council, the National Security Council and the president.[8]

I think you meant “uniformed service chiefs” not “uniformed service secretaries”. Anyway, the chiefs of staff of the Army, Air Force, Chief of Naval Operations, Chief of Space Operations and Commandant of the Marine Corps are responsible for training and maintaining the forces that get allocated to the combatant commands. Their basic role is administration and fighting for budget dollars. The article is to make us believe something happened with the CJCS that didn’t. More gaslighting.
