Where Did Joe Biden Get His "Sleepy" Nickname From? Donald Trump, of CourseBY MUSTAFA GATOLLARI
NOV. 6 2020, UPDATED 8:32 P.M. ET
When it comes to crafting perfectly absurd nicknames for political opposition, Donald Trump has got it down to a science. "Crooked" Hillary, "Low Energy" Jeb Bush, "Mini" Mike Bloomberg, "Wild" Bill Clinton, "Lyin'" Ted Cruz, Al Franken-stein, "Cheatin" Barack Obama, Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren, "Nervous" Nancy, the list goes on and on. The names are not only employed by him but are co-opted by everyone in his organization, so why they call him "Sleepy" Joe Biden?

The Hunter hard drive never rhetoric was valid anymore than Sleepy Joe Biden
The Biden administration is filing a lawsuit to challenge Texas' near-total ban on abortions, which the Supreme Court declined to block last week.
The Justice Department is announcing Thursday that it will file the suit, senior administration officials said. Attorney General Merrick Garland said earlier this week that the department was exploring "all options" in responding to the law.
"The department will provide support from federal law enforcement when an abortion clinic or reproductive health center is under attack," Garland said. "We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services, physical obstruction or property damage in violation of the FACE Act."
NORTH CAROLINA: One state Supreme Court case could destroy the court for years to come.
In an astonishing and unprecedented power grab that will overturn 200 years of case law and prior precedents, Democrats on the state Supreme Court are preparing to disqualify and remove two duly-elected Republican Supreme Court justices from a case so they can nullify voters’ decision to amend the Constitution.
The case is NAACP v. Moore and the state Supreme Court’s Democrats are trying to remove two Republican members from the bench, so a new temporary four-to-one Democrat majority can erase two constitutional amendments – the cap on income tax, and the voter I.D. requirement – which were overwhelmingly passed by more than four million votes.
In a plan already underway, Democrats Anita Earls, Robin Hudson, and Mike Morgan would conspire to remove the justices while allowing Associate Justice Jimmy Ervin to vote AGAINST the move because he is the one Democrat currently on the court who will face re-election in 2022.
Our “democracy” is sacred to Democrats except when it isn’t.
KK a bernie supporter is about as qualified as the goat fucker to be a commentator!!!!!!! The NC opinion demonstrates exactly what the Texas GOP has done with abortion....No asshole rat fuck comments on NC and silence in texas.....what a fucking douche nozzle!!!!!
The White House released a statement Thursday praising the “businesslike” and “professional” Taliban for its cooperation with the departure of U.S. citizens and lawful residents via a charter flight.
Say no to vaccine, so Bye Bye to your wages even though you are granted religious exemptions
NBC News - 9 hours ago
United Airlines’ employees who are granted exemptions to a company vaccinate mandate for religious reasons will be put on temporary unpaid leave starting next month, the airline told staff Wednesday, citing the recent rise in Covid cases.
The airline last month said its 67,000-person U.S. workforce must be vaccinated against Covid-19 this fall, but said it would consider exemptions for religious and personal beliefs as well as medical reasons.
Airlines’ approaches to encourage vaccination rates of their staff have varied. Delta Air Lines is imposing a $200 surcharge on unvaccinated employees’ company health care premiums. Delta, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines will end pay protectionsfor unvaccinated employees who contract or are exposed to Covid-19.
Customer-facing staff who are granted those exemptions can return to work “once the pandemic meaningfully recedes."
United said Wednesday if an employee’s request for a religious exemption is denied, they must be vaccinated within five weeks of the denial notice and get the first shot by Sept. 27, or they will be terminated.
As of 9/9-21 the goat fucker has lost his way.......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Shocking he toots against the country's interest in the hope his old white bigoted party makes points......LOLOLOLOLOL!! Scum of the earth 24/7 and proud of it!!!!!!!!!
Does the goat fucker agree that Abbott can stop all rapists in texas??????
RRB, Traitor Biden is paying the Taliban to release Americans From Afghanistan.
He has no choice. The first time he refuses payment we all get to watch a video of an American being decapitated.
The stuttering fuck can't even deliver an address on his six-point, six-prong plan to "stop covid in its tracks" during prime time when most Americans are available.
Even Reagan with his supposed Alzheimer's was able to deliver a prime time speech to us.
Reagan on his WORST day was still 1000 times better than Traitor Joe on his BEST. And the entire fucking white house staff KNOWS it, and lives in constant fear of a major fuck-up.
It's possible that the US Marshals officers will allow women to get an abortion in Texas despite the new law.
"The department will provide support from federal law enforcement when an abortion clinic or reproductive health center is under attack," Garland said. "We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services, physical obstruction or property damage in violation of the FACE Act." Like a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Jawohl, Herr Kommandant!!!
Everything the left lied about Trump doing Biden actually IS.
They used chartered flights. Money to private companies not the Taliban militants like you have been lying about.
Today, the United States government facilitated the departure of U.S citizens and lawful permanent residents on a chartered Qatar Airways flight from Hamid Karzai International Airport. We can confirm that flight has safely landed in Qatar. We are deeply grateful to the continued efforts of Qatar in facilitating operations at HKIA and helping to ensure the safety of these charter flights. We have been working intensely across the U.S. government to ensure the accuracy of the manifest and the safe departure and transit of the aircraft, and today’s safe flight is the result of careful and hard diplomacy and engagement.
The Taliban have been cooperative in facilitating the departure of American citizens and lawful permanent residents on charter flights from HKIA. They have shown flexibility, and they have been businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step.
They are working with the President
We did the same thing after the Vietnam war. I have a great friend who got here several years later than 75
Especially not after all the grief 0linsky took for his 'pallets o' cash' to IRAN.
*h/t: Indy Voter.
The fucking checkpoints were charging $500/person just to pass through by car TO the fucking airport.
Only a fucking nursing home-bound imbecile believes the Taliban are being good global citizens and are doing this out of the goodness of their stone cold hearts.
The alky actually sees the Taliban as a legitimate government instead of a terrorist organization staffed by 0linsky and his swap for Bergdahl, with at least one member with an FBI bounty on his head.
15 FBI agents to "investigate" a fucking hoax from a race card driver. 0 agents to apprehend a terrorist.
And the stuttering fuck can only deliver a speech right after lunch.
In his speech, the President directed the Labor Department to require all businesses with 100 or more employees ensure their workers are either vaccinated or tested once a week. Companies could face thousands of dollars in fines per employee if they don't comply.
Biden also said he plans to sign an executive order requiring all government employees be vaccinated against Covid-19, with no option of being regularly tested to opt out. The President will also sign an order directing the same standard be applied to employees of contractors who do business with the federal government.
He also said he will require that 300,000 educators in federal Head Start programs be vaccinated and will call on governors to require vaccinations for schoolteachers and staff.
And Biden said he will require the 17 million health care workers at facilities receiving funds from Medicare and Medicaid to be fully vaccinated, expanding the mandate to hospitals, home care facilities and dialysis centers around the country.
The new rules amount to the most dramatic steps to date to get more Americans vaccinated. Once cautious of vaccine mandates, the Biden administration is now wholly embracing them as vaccine hesitancy persists among certain groups.
The new rules come as the Delta variant tears through communities across the country, causing upticks in hospitalizations and deaths particularly in areas where vaccination rates remain low.
Actually he noted "that even Fox" had an employee vaccine mandate
That comment was so far beneath a real president, a true statesman, it's not even funny.
This regime runs on hatred for their political enemies and pettiness. That's all they have. Americans remain held hostage by terrorists in Afghanistan, and THIS stuttering piece of shit thinks his enemies are HERE.
And if he drops dead tomorrow our problems multiply exponentially because his back-up is a $10 whore.
President Biden on Thursday signed executive orders requiring most federal employees to get the COVID vaccine, without the option of getting regular testing instead.
Why it matters: The orders go further than the Biden administration's previously announced policy, which required federal workers to be vaccinated or follow other rigorous safety protocols, including regular testing.
Driving the news: "The expectation is if you want to work in the federal government or be a contractor, you need to be vaccinated," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
Federal employees will have about 75 days to get fully vaccinated from the time the executive order is signed, Psaki said.The vaccine requirement will include exemptions for individuals with disabilities and objections on religious grounds.
The big picture: Biden also extended the mandate to employees of contractors that do business with the federal government.
The Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service and the National Institute of Health will complete their previously announced vaccination requirements, which cover about 2.5 million people, per a source familiar with the plans.The Department of Labor will require employers to give employees paid time off to get vaccinated.Workers in hospitals, home health care facilities and other medical facilities will also be mandated to get the vaccine — a total of 17 million people.The announcement comes amid a surge in cases and hospitalizations largely driven by the Delta variant.The administration is also committing $2 billion to purchase nearly 300 million rapid tests for distribution to community health centers, food banks, schools, etc.
What he's saying: "This is not about freedom or personal choice," Biden said in a national address on Thursday.
"It is about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love."
"What makes it incredibly more frustrating is we have the tools to combat covid-19 and a distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of officials are keeping us from turning the corner," he said."These pandemic politics, as I refer to it, are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die."
"My message to unvaccinated Americans is this: what more is there to wait for?" he added. "We've been patient but our patience is wearing thin and your refusal has cost all of us. So, please, do the right thing.""Listen to the voices of unvaccinated Americans who are lying in hospital beds taking their final breath saying, 'If only I had gotten vaccinated.' It is a tragedy. Please don't let it become yours."
It was a great speech for all Americans.
The federal reserve doesn't have the right to mandate vaccinations. But if you refuse it you can lose your job!
The orders go further than the Biden administration's previously announced policy, which required federal workers to be vaccinated or follow other rigorous safety protocols, including regular testing.
Further information can change your mind, not you morons

The mask is completely off.
Joe Biden is a tyrant.
He understands that the government has the right to regulate companies even like your car !!!! Smog control and safety features like your seatbelts.
What federal law gives the president the power to mandate a medical procedure like administering a vaccine. Or for that matter force them to wear an article of clothing.
Or isolating and demonizing the unvaccinated. (Ironically most of the unvaccinated is part of Biden's voter base).
.He understands that the government has the right to regulate companies even like your car !!!! Smog control and safety features like your seatbelts.
1. he must be authorized by Congress (He's not). 2. He can't violate the intrastate commerce clause.
He can impose some regulation on car companies in relation to their product. Cars are sold all over the United States and therefore they can be regulated under the interstate commerce clause.
You can't make that argument with vaccine mandates. It is a violation of state sovereignty.
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping vaccination and testing requirements for federal government workers, contractors and even private sector employees, as his administration works to fight the spreading coronavirus.
All federal workers and contractors will need to get fully vaccinated in the coming weeks, as will health care workers at providers that receive federal funding through Medicaid and Medicare. The administration will also require all businesses with 100 or more employees to require testing at least once a week for unvaccinated workers.
The directives represent a significant step in pushing the private sector, an area where the president has been hesitant to use federal powers too heavily.
These new standards are part of Biden’s six-part plan to respond to yet another surge in COVID-19 cases, which announced Thursday. The plan is largely focused on increasing the rate of vaccinations in the United States among eligible populations.
Biden showed serious frustration with unvaccinated Americans while announcing the plan.
“Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated,” Biden said.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” he added, addressing unvaccinated people directly and reiterating that the vaccine is free, safe and available.
About 75% of Americans have gotten at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine. The U.S. was quicker than other industrialized countries to get people vaccinated in early months, but vaccination rates have slowed significantly, putting the nation behind most of Western Europe and Scandinavia.
“The path ahead, even with the delta variant, is not nearly as bad as last winter, but what makes it incredibly more frustrating is that we have the tools to combat COVID-19 and a distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner,” Biden said. “These pandemic politics are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die.”
The more transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus has led to a spike in hospitalizations and deaths as a wave of infections has spread primarily through unvaccinated populations.
“This is the pandemic of the unvaccinated,” one senior administration official said Thursday. “But with the unvaccinated filling our hospitals and putting our kids and economy at risk, their actions are affecting us all.”
He didn't stutter anything.
Or for that matter force them to wear an article of clothing. Try walking into a government building showing your shortcomings!🙃🙃🙃🙃

Be carful what you asked for. SCOTUS has been dancing around the issue for years using procedure moves to keep from confronting it directly.
If Garland proceeds with the lawsuit, he forces a direct confrontation with SCOTUS over abortion. If that happens he will lose and SCOTUS will give states the authority to determine when life begin. It will essentially set aside Casy and Roe.
COMMENSENSE SAID: What federal law gives the president the power to mandate a medical procedure like administering a vaccine.
PATRIOTIC JAMES POINTS OUT:
George Washington and the First Mass Military Inoculation
George Washington's military genius is undisputed. Yet American independence must be partially attributed to a strategy for which history has given the infamous general little credit: is controversial medical actions.
Traditionally, the Battle of Saratoga is credited with tipping the revolutionary scales. Yet the health of the Continental regulars involved in battle was a product of the ambitious initiative Washington began earlier that year at Morristown, close on the heels of the victorious Battle of Princeton. Among the Continental regulars in the American Revolution, 90 percent of deaths were caused by disease, and Variola the small pox virus was the most vicious of them all. (Gabriel and Metz 1992)
On the 6th of January 1777, George Washington wrote to Dr. William Shippen Jr., ordering him to inoculate all of the forces that came through Philadelphia. He explained that: "Necessity not only authorizes but seems to require the measure, for should the disorder infect the Army . . . we should have more to dread from it, than from the Sword of the Enemy."
The urgency was real. Troops were scarce and encampments had turned into nomadic hospitals of festering disease, deterring further recruitment. Both Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin, after surveying the havoc wreaked by Variola in the Canadian campaign, expressed fears that the virus would be the army's ultimate downfall. (Fenn 2001)
At the time, the practice of infecting the individual with a less-deadly form of the disease was widespread throughout Europe. Most British troops were immune to Variola, giving them an enormous advantage against the vulnerable colonists. (Fenn 2001) Conversely, the history of inoculation in America (beginning with the efforts of the Reverend Cotton Mather in 1720) was pocked by the fear of the contamination potential of the process. Such fears led the Continental Congress to issue a proclamation in 1776 prohibiting Surgeons of the Army to inoculate.
Washington suspected the only available recourse was inoculation, yet contagion risks aside, he knew that a mass inoculation put the entire army in a precarious position should the British hear of his plans. Moreover, Historians estimate that less than a quarter of the Continental Army had ever had the virus; inoculating the remaining three quarters and every new recruit must have seemed daunting. Yet the high prevalence of disease among the army regulars was a significant deterrent to desperately needed recruits, and a dramatic reform was needed to allay their fears.
Weighing the risks, on February 5th of 1777, Washington finally committed to the unpopular policy of mass inoculation by writing to inform Congress of his plan. Throughout February, Washington, with no precedent for the operation he was about to undertake, covertly communicated to his commanding officers orders to oversee mass inoculations of their troops in the model of Morristown and Philadelphia (Dr. Shippen's Hospital). At least eleven hospitals had been constructed by the year's end.
Variola raged throughout the war, devastating the Native American population and slaves who had chosen to fight for the British in exchange for freedom. Yet the isolated infections that sprung up among Continental regulars during the southern campaign failed to incapacitate a single regiment.
With few surgeons, fewer medical supplies, and no experience, Washington conducted the first mass inoculation of an army at the height of a war that immeasurably transformed the international system. Defeating the British was impressive, but simultaneously taking on Variola was a risky stroke of genius.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.” — President Biden, in an address to the nation, speaking directly to the unvaccinated.
This story reminded me of what happened to the dinosaurs. The scientists believed that a huge meteor hit in the Gulf of Mexico and it caused climate changes that killed all of them.
Vaccines stop new variants
The delta variant has spread around the globe, and the next variants are already on the rise. If the goal is to limit infections, vaccines are the answer.
Even though vaccinated people can still get infected with the delta variant, they tend to experience shorter, milder infections than unvaccinated individuals. This greatly reduces the chances of any mutated virus – either one that makes the virus more transmissible or one that could allow it to get past immunity from vaccines – from jumping from one person to another.
Eventually, when nearly everyone has some immunity to the coronavirus from vaccination, viruses that break through this immunity could gain a competitive advantage over other strains. It is theoretically possible that in this situation, natural selection will lead to variants that can infect and cause serious disease in vaccinated people.
However, these mutants must still escape the population bottleneck. It is unlikely that vaccine-induced immunity will be the major player in variant emergence as long as there are lots of new infections occurring. It’s simply a numbers game, and for now, the modest benefit the virus would get from vaccine evasion is dwarfed by the vast opportunities to infect unvaccinated people.
The world has already witnessed the relationship between the number of infections and the rise of mutants. The coronavirus remained essentially unchanged for months until the pandemic got out of control. With relatively few infections, the genetic code had limited opportunities to mutate. But as infection clusters exploded, the virus rolled the dice millions of times and some mutations produced fitter mutants.
The best way to stop new variants is to stop their spread, and the answer to that is vaccination.
If we don't get vaccinated every time the virus could eliminate human beings..
PATRIOTIC JAMES POINTS OUT: George Washington and theca First Mass Military Inoculation
Patriotic Commonsense will note that Washington order pre-dated the Decoration of Independence and that Patriotic Commonsence is more concerned about the sovereignty of states and the natural rights the founding documents enshrine and protect.

This story reminded me of what happened to the dinosaurs. The scientists believed that a huge meteor hit in the Gulf of Mexico and it caused climate changes that killed all of them.
Narrator: The dinosaurs were killed off as a direct effect of the asteroid (When a hunk of space rock gets that big, it's call an asteroid.) The climate at the time didn't really changed and temperatures and other climate data returned to their base values after the effects of the asteroid subsided.
The directives represent a significant step in pushing the private sector, an area where the president has been hesitant to use federal powers too heavily.
Directives are not governor mandates. How they apply the directives is up to the companies.
And again the President has the right to direct companies.
Around 75% of Earth's animals, including dinosaurs, suddenly died out at the same point in time. So how was it all caused by a rock hurtling into the coast of Central America?
Paul explains, 'The asteroid hit at high velocity and effectively vaporised. It made a huge crater, so in the immediate area there was total devastation. A huge blast wave and heatwave went out and it threw vast amounts of material up into the atmosphere.
'It sent soot travelling all around the world. It didn't completely block out the Sun, but it reduced the amount of light that reached the Earth's surface. So it had an impact on plant growth.'

Like dominos, this trailed up the food chain, causing the ecosystem to collapse. The reduction in plant life had a huge impact on herbivores' ability to survive, which in turn meant that carnivores would also have suffered from having less food available.
Breeding seasons would have been shorter and conditions harsher. All living things would have been affected in some way, both on land and in the ocean.
Mammals like us were able to adjust to higher temperatures than cold blooded animals like dinosaurs.
The blame can't solely rest on the asteroid. Prior to its crash landing, Earth was experiencing a period of climate change. This was making things harder for life on our planet.
In what is now central India, there was substantial volcanic activity that, although unrelated to the asteroid impact, was causing problems of its own. The resulting lava outcrop is now known as the Deccan Traps.
Paul says, 'For two million years there was a huge amount of volcanic activity going on, spewing gases into the atmosphere and having a major impact on global climate.
'There were also longer-term changes. The continents were drifting around and splitting apart from each other, creating bigger oceans, which changed ocean and atmosphere patterns around the world. This also had a strong effect on climate and vegetation.'
Ammonites were just one of the groups of animals to die out during the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction event, 66 million years ago

The last non-bird dinosaurs were living at a time of environmental change, some of which began millions of years before they went extinct. The asteroid was the final, killer blow.

A very precise component of the definition of FASCISM:
Definition of fascism
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

So divide, divide the country. Attempt to demonize a "distinct" minority to become the hate-objects and scapegoats for a transitory majority, keeping them together through shared, stoked hatred just long enough to get through 2022.

Direct all of the country's anger towards a "distinct" minority. Blame the Jews. Wait, I mean blame the unvaccinated, who are the subversive wreckers undermining society with their clannish, inscrutable ways.
OSHA has a legal mandate to protect workers from illness, just as it has protected workers from cancer causing chemicals used in the workplace,” Shapiro continued. “OSHA will have to meet its statutory requirement as to findings and evidence, but there should be no issue of constitutionality. Workers with a bona fide health or religious reason will likely be exempted because the failure to do so may present constitutional issues.”
New York University Law Professor Roderick Hills also agreed the OSHA mandate was constitutionally permissible.
“The OSH Act rule is certainly constitutional,” he told Law&Crime. “The federal government has regulated workplace safety since 1970, when Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act into law. The businesses covered by the Act are all regarded as either ‘in’ or ‘affecting’ interstate commerce and therefore within Congress’ power to regulate under Article I, section 8, clause 3 of the Constitution (the so-called ‘commerce clause’).”
Hills said the OSHA rules were likely to pass muster because they are authorized by the OSH Act itself which provides, in relevant part:
(a) Each employer — (1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees; (2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
The only potential issue with the OSHA mandate, Hills said, was “neither constitutional nor statutory but procedural.”
Before Dying, An Unvaccinated TikTok User, Aged 31, Begged Others Not to Repeat Her Mistake September 9, 2021 SHARON PRUITT-YOUNG
"I shouldn't have waited."
In the final video posted on her TikTok account, Megan Alexandra Blankenbiller pleaded with her followers not to make the same mistake she did — waiting to get the COVID-19 vaccine — that eventually cost her her life.
Megan Alexandra Blankenbiller became sick before she was able to get the COVID-19 vaccine. She spent her final days in the hospital trying to help others avoid the same mistake.
Blankenbiller, or @atasteofalex on TikTok, died of COVID-19 last month after documenting her journey with the virus through a series of short videos. She first announced that she'd gotten COVID-19 on Aug. 13 with a video of herself in the hospital. In the caption, she urged others: "DO NOT WAIT TO GET VACCINATED! Go now!!"
It was a sentiment that she echoed in her next three videos.
The Share Of U.S. Adults Willing To Get Vaccinated Ticks Up, A New Poll Finds
In one video, she dispelled the misconception that those who are vaccinated cannot get COVID-19 and explained that it helps your body withstand the virus if you do get it.
In her next, she said she'd been afraid to get the vaccine. She also said that since she'd been at the hospital, she'd been hearing the "moans and the screams of people in pain" — the grief of those who had likely lost their loved ones.
In her final video, filmed in a hospital bed as the others had been, she admitted that it was getting harder to talk but shared her own story: She was not against vaccines but had been taking time to research and wanted to get vaccinated at the same time as her family — a decision she said she came to regret.
"I do think it was a mistake. I shouldn't have waited," she said. "If you are even 70% sure that you want the vaccine, go get it. Don't wait. Go get it because hopefully if you get it, then you won't end up in the hospital like me, OK?"
Blankenbiller died nine days after her last video was posted Aug. 15, CNN reported. She was 31. Before her death, she'd made appointments to get vaccinated with her mother and sisters, but she became sick before she was able to get the vaccine, according to WebMD.
Blankenbiller's story is similar to many that have been shared in recent months of those who did not get vaccinated but, after contracting COVID-19, wished they had. Some of those people have begun encouraging others to get the shot. Health officials have said they hope these stories will raise vaccination rates and save lives.
Uh-huh. What exactly was your cost when a stranger is not vaccinated. How did it personally affect you.
Other than increase hospitalizations what is the cost to society. And what makes you think a scolding by the President is going to get the unvaccinated vaccinated.
“The OSH Administrator will likely have to go through notice and comment rule-making process to enact this policy unless the agency can take advantage of the exception for ‘good cause’ provided by section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act,” he continued. “Notice and comment rule-making can take many months and sometimes years. I imagine, however, that there is probably ‘good cause’ to promulgate the rule immediately and solicit comments while the rule goes into effect. Good cause usually exists when there is an immediate need to install a rule to avoid immediate harm. Surely, that is the case with COVID infections.”
While the APA may, in theory, provide both hurdles and legs needed to jump them, other legal experts noted that the underlying statute would likely short-circuit any APA-based challenge to the mandate.
“Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate easily falls within the commerce clause because it applies to employers with 100 or more employees, and the OSH Act specifically provides for Emergency Temporary Standards for employee safety, without regard to the Administrative Procedures Act,” attorney Max Kennerly explained via Twitter.
The CMS Mandate
A different set of rules issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will require all health care workers at any facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements–which includes the overwhelming majority of health care facilities in the country–to be vaccinated. This rule is estimated to impact some 50,000 health care facilities and will apply to all “CMS-regulated settings, including clinical staff, individuals providing services under arrangements, volunteers, and staff who are not involved in direct patient, resident, or client care,” according to the White House.
“I am expanding vaccination requirements to cover those who work in hospitals, home health care facilities, and other medical facilities,” the president said via Twitter. “If you are seeking care at a health facility, you should know that the people treating you are vaccinated. Period.”
The CMS is working in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on an interim final rule with a notice-and-comment period, according to HomeCare magazine, suggesting the administration will work through standard APA procedures to secure the legal foundation necessary to enforce the health care worker mandate. The agencies’ action here builds on vaccine requirements for nursing facilities promulgated as regulations earlier this year.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the Commerce Clause gives an agency operating under delegated congressional authority the power to issue a mandate that would be legally sound if “structured as requirements on entities in interstate commerce, such as a requirement on entities to verify vaccination status.”
“Under this authority, which is subject to several limitations, Congress may offer federal funds to nonfederal entities and prescribe the terms and conditions under which the funds are accepted and used by recipients,” CRS notes. “Over the past century, Congress has frequently invoked this authority in the public health context, including for purposes of controlling specified diseases, establishing neighborhood or community health centers, and creating federal health insurance programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.”
The bottom line is that he is using the laws that the Congress has passed and signed by the President.
"Natural gas prices have doubled this year and are expected to continue to rise, resulting in larger winter heating bills for some consumers and higher costs for electric utilities."
a) Each employer — (1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees; (2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
Which was met to prevent work place accidents. Even now it's hard to make an interstate commerce argument for OHSA. But OHSA passed in the days of the Warren Court where they had a loose interpretation of the interstate commerce clause.
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a series of vaccine mandates estimated to impact upwards of 100 million Americans.
“This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Biden said during a press conference. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans.”
The administration’s latest exercise of highly-publicized state power in response to the renewed COVID-19 pandemic was predictably met with grumbling from discontented online posters and commentators, primarily on the political right. Quickly after Biden’s plans were made public, the hashtag #DoNotComply spread on Twitter.
Legal experts, however, quickly noted that the vaccine mandates were likely to pass constitutional muster.
“Yes, this is constitutional,” famed constitutional law professor and Dean of Berkeley Law School Erwin Chemerinsky, told Law&Crime.
“There is no constitutional problem with requiring people be vaccinated,” the author of the premier constitutional case law textbook used in U.S. law schools added. “The government could require everyone to be vaccinated against COVID.”
“This was resolved by the Supreme Court in 1905,” Chemerinsky said, referring to Jacobson v. Massachusetts.
Other legal experts offered a few caveats to the new proposals.
The OSHA Mandate
The first proposal will have the U.S. Department of Labor, under the auspices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, issue new rules that mandate any business with 100 or more employees enforce vaccine compliance among their workforce or maintain a regime where employees submit to weekly COVID-19 testing.
The new rules will further mandate that such large businesses must provide paid time off for their employees to receive the free vaccinations–and for any necessary post-vaccine recuperation.
“To continue efforts to ensure that no worker loses a dollar of pay because they get vaccinated, OSHA is developing a rule that will require employers with more than 100 employees to provide paid time off for the time it takes for workers to get vaccinated or to recover if they are under the weather post-vaccination,” the White House explained in a press release announcing the new directives.
“The issue is whether the government has the authority under some statute to order employers to require vaccination or weekly testing,” OSHA expert and Wake Forest University Law Professor Sid Shapiro told Law&Crime. “If such authority exists, it would be constitutional because Congress can regulate interstate commerce.”
New York City-based attorney and writer Luppe B. Luppen said the relevant statute was contained in OSHA’s authorizing legislation, the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970, which was signed into law by then-president Richard Nixon.
In response to conservative writer Andrew Egger calling Biden’s new proposals “nuts,” Luppen retorted that the move was “a plain Jane congressionally authorized OSHA regulatory proceeding under Section 6(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.”
“OSHA’s been around for 50 years,” federal employment attorney Bradley P. Moss added via Twitter.
“OSHA has a legal mandate to protect workers from illness, just as it has protected workers from cancer causing chemicals used in the workplace,” Shapiro continued. “OSHA will have to meet its statutory requirement as to findings and evidence, but there should be no issue of constitutionality. Workers with a bona fide health or religious reason will likely be exempted because the failure to do so may present constitutional issues.”
New York University Law Professor Roderick Hills also agreed the OSHA mandate was constitutionally permissible.
“The OSH Act rule is certainly constitutional,” he told Law&Crime. “The federal government has regulated workplace safety since 1970, when Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act into law. The businesses covered by the Act are all regarded as either ‘in’ or ‘affecting’ interstate commerce and therefore within Congress’ power to regulate under Article I, section 8, clause 3 of the Constitution (the so-called ‘commerce clause’).”
Hills said the OSHA rules were likely to pass muster because they are authorized by the OSH Act itself which provides, in relevant part:
(a) Each employer — (1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees; (2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
The only potential issue with the OSHA mandate, Hills said, was “neither constitutional nor statutory but procedural.”
“The OSH Administrator will likely have to go through notice and comment rule-making process to enact this policy unless the agency can take advantage of the exception for ‘good cause’ provided by section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act,” he continued. “Notice and comment rule-making can take many months and sometimes years. I imagine, however, that there is probably ‘good cause’ to promulgate the rule immediately and solicit comments while the rule goes into effect. Good cause usually exists when there is an immediate need to install a rule to avoid immediate harm. Surely, that is the case with COVID infections.”
While the Administrative Procedure Act may, in theory, provide both hurdles and legs needed to jump them, other legal experts noted that the underlying statute would likely short-circuit any APA-based challenge to the mandate.
“Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate easily falls within the commerce clause because it applies to employers with 100 or more employees, and the OSH Act specifically provides for Emergency Temporary Standards for employee safety, without regard to the Administrative Procedures Act,” attorney Max Kennerly explained via Twitter.
The bottom line is that he is using the laws that the Congress has passed and signed by the President.
A LIE.
Read your own plagiarism.
Note the extensive use of the word "rule."
Fascist Joe is is directing his minions to furiously write RULES to skirt the laws by which he is bound.
And the commerce clause has been stretched to a molecular thin-ness from which to draw powers that are so far outside it's original intent as to render the clause meaningless. The commerce clause has been used over the years as a universal power grab, and no one has seemed to notice.
This is a Fascist power grab straight up.

he asteroid hit at high velocity and effectively vaporised. It made a huge crater, so in the immediate area there was total devastation. A huge blast wave and heatwave went out and it threw vast amounts of material up into the atmosphere.
'It sent soot travelling all around the world. It didn't completely block out the Sun, but it reduced the amount of light that reached the Earth's surface. So it had an impact on plant growth.
This was the effect of the asteroid not climate change, shit for brains.

A different set of rules issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will require all health care workers at any facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements–
A great many healthcare workers refuse to be vaccinated. Most want to see if the vaccine is really safe and effective. They are more afraid of the vaccine than losing their job, Wonder what they know.
Like the dinosaurs there was a mass plant extinction. About 50% of the species in North America died out. Surprisingly (unlike the dinosaurs) whole genus did not die out. There were still conifers and deciduous trees and interestingly ferns.
Also, oceanic flora and fauna was surprisingly intact even though the asteroid hit water.
Finally, the administration will require all federal employees and “employees of contractors that do business with the federal government” to be vaccinated.
According to the Associated Press, the federal employee and contractor mandate will not have an option for covered workers to test out.
Shapiro was adamant that the contractor mandate also presented “no constitutional issue since contracting with the government is voluntary.”
“You don’t have to do it, but if you do it you’re subject to the conditions that the government establishes for such contracting,” he explained. “Again, the issue is one of statutory authority. My understanding is that the government generally can impose health and safety requirements on government contractors under existing law.”
“[T]here is one obvious source of statutory authority here,” Hills added. “The 1949 Procurement Act provides that the President is responsible for administering ‘an economical and efficient system for the procurement and supply of personal property and non-personal services.’ It is well-established that, subject to statutory limits, the President can, through the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (in the Department of Labor) can make rules to carry out this general statutory duty.”
Corporate America reacts to Biden's vaccination mandate
"We have tools to combat the virus ... if we can come together as a country to use those tools," Biden said.
NBC's Stephanie Ruhle breaks down the White House's 'workaround' to get people vaccinated
Sept. 9, 2021, 4:00 PM PDT
By Lucy Bayly
The White House moved from carrot to stick Thursday after President Joe Biden introduced a rule that requires companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workforces are fully vaccinated or can produce negative Covid tests at least once a week.
The new requirements are a step to "combat those blocking public health," Biden said at a White House briefing Thursday, noting that around 80 million Americans have "failed to get the shot."
"We have tools to combat the virus ... if we can come together as a country to use those tools," Biden said.
A rising number of Covid-19 cases has threatened children's return to school, slashed consumer confidence, rocked the jobs market, derailed travel plans, delayed employees' return to downtown offices and led more and more companies to reduce their growth forecasts for the rest of the year.
Biden's multifaceted approach to resolving the issue includes three months of at-cost testing kits from Amazon, Walmart and Kroger. In addition, Medicaid beneficiaries will get full coverage for at-home tests, and the federal government will expand a free testing program to 10,000 pharmacies.
"We know vaccines, coupled with widespread and convenient testing, serve as powerful tools to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, keeping the U.S. economy open, and protecting America's workforce," Brian Huseman, Amazon's vice president of public policy, said in a statement. "We're proud to work with the Biden administration to increase access to affordable, high-quality, FDA-authorized tests, to keep us moving toward a full recovery."
Biden praised the companies that have already implemented mandates, citing United Airlines, Disney, Tyson Foods "and even Fox News."
United Airlines announced last month that all employees would have to be vaccinated by Sept. 25; the vast majority of its pilots and flight attendants have already gotten the shots. This week, the airline also said anyone refusing to be vaccinated for religious reasons would have to stay home until the pandemic "meaningfully recedes."
After meatpacking plants became early hotbeds for viral transmission, the meat producer Tyson Foods said last month that workers in its facilities would have to be vaccinated by Nov. 1.
Amid a critical shortage of workers, many CEOs who are in favor of vaccinations have said they have been holding back on mandates out of fear that workers would quit for competitors that do not require employees be inoculated. Biden's mandate simplifies that equation.
"We've noticed a huge increase, just recently, in the share of postings that either mandate or request employees be vaccinated," Julia Pollak, labor economist at the jobs platform ZipRecruiter, said last month, before the Food and Drug Administration's full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech two-dose
"When you see more major employers require vaccinations, that will probably set a trend for other employers to follow," she said.
Joshua Bolten, president and CEO of the Business Roundtable, a group of chief executives from companies including Amazon, Walmart and Home Depot, said in a statement Thursday: "Business Roundtable welcomes the Biden Administration's continued vigilance in the fight against COVID. America's business leaders know how critical vaccination and testing are in defeating the pandemic."
CVS Health said in a statement to NBC News that it applauds companies' decisions to implement vaccination mandates, adding that "vaccinating more Americans is clearly the most effective way to prevail over the pandemic."
A spokesman for the United Auto Workers said the labor union is "looking at the details of the announcement and how it impacts our over 700 employer contracts and our members," Reuters reported. Last month, UAW President Ray Curry said the union would need to negotiate before any mandates could be put into place.
Biden also issued an executive order that requires federal employees and contractors to get inoculated, a rule that will affect more than 2 million employees.
Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said in a statement: "NTEU will monitor closely the implementation of this policy at the agencies where we represent employees to make sure that those with medical and religious exceptions are accommodated."
He also said: "NTEU members, like American society at large, will have differing reactions to the new policy. Some employees will disagree. Others will welcome the additional security that comes with knowing that all of their coworkers are vaccinated. Either way, the law is clear that employers, including the federal government, may implement a vaccination requirement for employees."
it rather coincidental that we were conspiring with China to turn a harmless bat virus into one that is lethal to mankind? Does it not seem a little odd that the very man the media have lionized, since he is part of their cultural tribe, as the leader of the U.S. response provided funding to this effort? I'm not a big believer in coincidences, and if this was a coincidence, it is the biggest one of all time.
For those who might question that this "nonpolitical" wunderkind is part of their tribe, anybody who says about Hillary Clinton that "we all love her and are very proud to know her" is a leftist to the core.
If Fauci was aligned with the right instead of the left, the biggest question we'd likely be contemplating is which prison he would be heading to.
Frankly, I don't know if the COVID release was an experiment gone bad or something far more sinister and intentional. But it is always worth considering cui bono, or who stands to benefit, when looking at an issue like this. The greatest beneficiaries of the destruction wrought by COVID (and the overheated response to it that is still paralyzing Western democracies) were China and leftists and globalists worldwide.
The release of the virus accomplished a number of objectives. It reversed the damage that the Trump administration was doing to China while resulting in a significant increase in China's comparative power. It resulted in a strong move toward authoritarianism across the globe. And it resulted in the weakest and most compromised American president of my lifetime. Cui bono, indeed.
At worst, this is a global conspiracy that rivals any in history. At best, this is the worst cover-up of recent history. The story is the blockbuster of all blockbusters. But Democracy dies in darkness, as the paper that marveled at President Biden's competence and compassion intones, and darkness is what we have at the moment.
I've gained a lot of respect for Senator Rand Paul for his commitment to the truth. Here's to hoping a few other politicians buck the cultural power of the left and demand accountability and answers to the biggest questions of recent history. The leftstream media certainly aren't going to do it, but we shouldn't let them bury a story of this magnitude.

Where Did Joe Biden Get His "Sleepy" Nickname From? Donald Trump, of CourseBY MUSTAFA GATOLLARI

The Justice Department is announcing Thursday that it will file the suit, senior administration officials said. Attorney General Merrick Garland said earlier this week that the department was exploring "all options" in responding to the law.

Justice Department sues Texas over six-week abortion ban
By Evan Perez and Tierney Sneed, CNN
Updated Sep 9, 2021
(CNN) - The Biden Justice Department sued the state of Texas on Thursday over its new six-week abortion ban.
DOJ has been exploring legal avenues for challenging the six-week abortion ban in Texas after the US Supreme Court last week declined a request by clinics to block the law from going into effect.
The Texas law was designed specifically with the goal of making it more difficult for clinics to obtain federal court orders blocking enforcement of the law. Instead of creating criminal penalties for abortions conducted after a fetal heartbeat is detected, the Texas Legislature has tasked private citizens with enforcing the law by bringing private litigation against clinics -- and anyone else who assists a woman in obtaining an abortion after six weeks.
Since the law went into effect, clinics across Texas have stopped offering abortions after six weeks, or have shuttered altogether.
In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court majority wrote that while the clinics had raised "serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law," they had not met a burden that would allow the court to block it at this time due to "complex" and "novel" procedural questions.
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday had pledged to protect abortion clinics in Texas by enforcing a federal law that prohibits making threats against patients seeking reproductive health services and obstructing clinic entrances.
"The department will provide support from federal law enforcement when an abortion clinic or reproductive health center is under attack," Garland said. "We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services, physical obstruction or property damage in violation of the FACE Act."
This story has been updated with Garland's announcement and additional details.

NORTH CAROLINA: One state Supreme Court case could destroy the court for years to come.
In an astonishing and unprecedented power grab that will overturn 200 years of case law and prior precedents, Democrats on the state Supreme Court are preparing to disqualify and remove two duly-elected Republican Supreme Court justices from a case so they can nullify voters’ decision to amend the Constitution.
The case is NAACP v. Moore and the state Supreme Court’s Democrats are trying to remove two Republican members from the bench, so a new temporary four-to-one Democrat majority can erase two constitutional amendments – the cap on income tax, and the voter I.D. requirement – which were overwhelmingly passed by more than four million votes.
In a plan already underway, Democrats Anita Earls, Robin Hudson, and Mike Morgan would conspire to remove the justices while allowing Associate Justice Jimmy Ervin to vote AGAINST the move because he is the one Democrat currently on the court who will face re-election in 2022.
Our “democracy” is sacred to Democrats except when it isn’t.

Say no to vaccine, so Bye Bye to your wages even though you are granted religious exemptions
NBC News - 9 hours ago
United Airlines’ employees who are granted exemptions to a company vaccinate mandate for religious reasons will be put on temporary unpaid leave starting next month, the airline told staff Wednesday, citing the recent rise in Covid cases.
The airline last month said its 67,000-person U.S. workforce must be vaccinated against Covid-19 this fall, but said it would consider exemptions for religious and personal beliefs as well as medical reasons.
Airlines’ approaches to encourage vaccination rates of their staff have varied. Delta Air Lines is imposing a $200 surcharge on unvaccinated employees’ company health care premiums. Delta, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines will end pay protectionsfor unvaccinated employees who contract or are exposed to Covid-19.
Customer-facing staff who are granted those exemptions can return to work “once the pandemic meaningfully recedes."
United said Wednesday if an employee’s request for a religious exemption is denied, they must be vaccinated within five weeks of the denial notice and get the first shot by Sept. 27, or they will be terminated.

They used chartered flights. Money to private companies not the Taliban militants like you have been lying about.
Today, the United States government facilitated the departure of U.S citizens and lawful permanent residents on a chartered Qatar Airways flight from Hamid Karzai International Airport. We can confirm that flight has safely landed in Qatar. We are deeply grateful to the continued efforts of Qatar in facilitating operations at HKIA and helping to ensure the safety of these charter flights. We have been working intensely across the U.S. government to ensure the accuracy of the manifest and the safe departure and transit of the aircraft, and today’s safe flight is the result of careful and hard diplomacy and engagement.
The Taliban have been cooperative in facilitating the departure of American citizens and lawful permanent residents on charter flights from HKIA. They have shown flexibility, and they have been businesslike and professional in our dealings with them in this effort. This is a positive first step.
They are working with the President

At least your BIL is a real person.
In his speech, the President directed the Labor Department to require all businesses with 100 or more employees ensure their workers are either vaccinated or tested once a week. Companies could face thousands of dollars in fines per employee if they don't comply.
Biden also said he plans to sign an executive order requiring all government employees be vaccinated against Covid-19, with no option of being regularly tested to opt out. The President will also sign an order directing the same standard be applied to employees of contractors who do business with the federal government.
He also said he will require that 300,000 educators in federal Head Start programs be vaccinated and will call on governors to require vaccinations for schoolteachers and staff.
And Biden said he will require the 17 million health care workers at facilities receiving funds from Medicare and Medicaid to be fully vaccinated, expanding the mandate to hospitals, home care facilities and dialysis centers around the country.
The new rules amount to the most dramatic steps to date to get more Americans vaccinated. Once cautious of vaccine mandates, the Biden administration is now wholly embracing them as vaccine hesitancy persists among certain groups.
The new rules come as the Delta variant tears through communities across the country, causing upticks in hospitalizations and deaths particularly in areas where vaccination rates remain low.
Knock it off alky. We're listening to it live.

Biden back in December on vaccine mandates: “I don't think it should be mandatory, I wouldn't demand it be mandatory.”
He had a "plan"
And vaccines would not be mandatory
and Hunter is the smartest guy he knows
He had a "plan"
And vaccines would not be mandatory
There's a "plan." And the plan has drawn a bead on the 2022 midterms.
President Biden on Thursday signed executive orders requiring most federal employees to get the COVID vaccine, without the option of getting regular testing instead.
Why it matters: The orders go further than the Biden administration's previously announced policy, which required federal workers to be vaccinated or follow other rigorous safety protocols, including regular testing.
Driving the news: "The expectation is if you want to work in the federal government or be a contractor, you need to be vaccinated," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
Federal employees will have about 75 days to get fully vaccinated from the time the executive order is signed, Psaki said.The vaccine requirement will include exemptions for individuals with disabilities and objections on religious grounds.
The big picture: Biden also extended the mandate to employees of contractors that do business with the federal government.
The Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service and the National Institute of Health will complete their previously announced vaccination requirements, which cover about 2.5 million people, per a source familiar with the plans.The Department of Labor will require employers to give employees paid time off to get vaccinated.Workers in hospitals, home health care facilities and other medical facilities will also be mandated to get the vaccine — a total of 17 million people.The announcement comes amid a surge in cases and hospitalizations largely driven by the Delta variant.The administration is also committing $2 billion to purchase nearly 300 million rapid tests for distribution to community health centers, food banks, schools, etc.
What he's saying: "This is not about freedom or personal choice," Biden said in a national address on Thursday.
"It is about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love."
"What makes it incredibly more frustrating is we have the tools to combat covid-19 and a distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of officials are keeping us from turning the corner," he said."These pandemic politics, as I refer to it, are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die."
"My message to unvaccinated Americans is this: what more is there to wait for?" he added. "We've been patient but our patience is wearing thin and your refusal has cost all of us. So, please, do the right thing.""Listen to the voices of unvaccinated Americans who are lying in hospital beds taking their final breath saying, 'If only I had gotten vaccinated.' It is a tragedy. Please don't let it become yours."
It was a great speech for all Americans.
The federal reserve doesn't have the right to mandate vaccinations. But if you refuse it you can lose your job!

Old men living in a swamp dispensing executive orders is no basis for a system of government.
Biden must go
As someone noted if Harris becomes president no VP would ever get confirmed and the Senate would revert back to gridlock at 50=50 with no tie breaker.
I think that is right.
The orders go further than the Biden administration's previously announced policy, which required federal workers to be vaccinated or follow other rigorous safety protocols, including regular testing.

NEWS: White House official tells me USPS workers are NOT included in President Biden’s vaccine requirement, but “we strongly encourage them to comply with these standards.”
That’s a massive chunk of the federal workforce — 644k & growing — that’s not required to be vaccinated.
Germany, 1933
So Joe is going to create a huge deficit of health care workers when they decide to still not get vaccinated

Great "thinking" there Joe
Of course you are going to exempt your union buddies
Kind of like how the "justice" department is run

Federal workers will be forced to take the Covid jab under Biden’s new order.
Additionally, businesses with 100+ employees will be forced to either test workers or prove they are vaccinated.

What federal law gives the president the power to mandate a medical procedure like administering a vaccine. Or for that matter force them to wear an article of clothing.
Or isolating and demonizing the unvaccinated. (Ironically most of the unvaccinated is part of Biden's voter base).

1. he must be authorized by Congress (He's not).
2. He can't violate the intrastate commerce clause.
He can impose some regulation on car companies in relation to their product. Cars are sold all over the United States and therefore they can be regulated under the interstate commerce clause.
You can't make that argument with vaccine mandates. It is a violation of state sovereignty.
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping vaccination and testing requirements for federal government workers, contractors and even private sector employees, as his administration works to fight the spreading coronavirus.
All federal workers and contractors will need to get fully vaccinated in the coming weeks, as will health care workers at providers that receive federal funding through Medicaid and Medicare. The administration will also require all businesses with 100 or more employees to require testing at least once a week for unvaccinated workers.
The directives represent a significant step in pushing the private sector, an area where the president has been hesitant to use federal powers too heavily.
These new standards are part of Biden’s six-part plan to respond to yet another surge in COVID-19 cases, which announced Thursday. The plan is largely focused on increasing the rate of vaccinations in the United States among eligible populations.
Biden showed serious frustration with unvaccinated Americans while announcing the plan.
“Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated,” Biden said.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” he added, addressing unvaccinated people directly and reiterating that the vaccine is free, safe and available.
About 75% of Americans have gotten at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine. The U.S. was quicker than other industrialized countries to get people vaccinated in early months, but vaccination rates have slowed significantly, putting the nation behind most of Western Europe and Scandinavia.
“The path ahead, even with the delta variant, is not nearly as bad as last winter, but what makes it incredibly more frustrating is that we have the tools to combat COVID-19 and a distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner,” Biden said. “These pandemic politics are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die.”
The more transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus has led to a spike in hospitalizations and deaths as a wave of infections has spread primarily through unvaccinated populations.
“This is the pandemic of the unvaccinated,” one senior administration official said Thursday. “But with the unvaccinated filling our hospitals and putting our kids and economy at risk, their actions are affecting us all.”
He didn't stutter anything.
Or for that matter force them to wear an article of clothing. Try walking into a government building showing your shortcomings!🙃🙃🙃🙃

The federal reserve can't mandate clueless
The Biden administration is filing a lawsuit to challenge Texas' near-total ban on abortions, which the Supreme Court declined to block last week.
Be carful what you asked for. SCOTUS has been dancing around the issue for years using procedure moves to keep from confronting it directly.
If Garland proceeds with the lawsuit, he forces a direct confrontation with SCOTUS over abortion. If that happens he will lose and SCOTUS will give states the authority to determine when life begin. It will essentially set aside Casy and Roe.
COMMENSENSE SAID: What federal law gives the president the power to mandate a medical procedure like administering a vaccine.
PATRIOTIC JAMES POINTS OUT:
George Washington and the First Mass Military Inoculation
George Washington's military genius is undisputed. Yet American independence must be partially attributed to a strategy for which history has given the infamous general little credit: is controversial medical actions.
Traditionally, the Battle of Saratoga is credited with tipping the revolutionary scales.
Yet the health of the Continental regulars involved in battle was a product of the ambitious initiative Washington began earlier that year at Morristown, close on the heels of the victorious Battle of Princeton. Among the Continental regulars in the American Revolution, 90 percent of deaths were caused by disease, and Variola the small pox virus was the most vicious of them all. (Gabriel and Metz 1992)
On the 6th of January 1777, George Washington wrote to Dr. William Shippen Jr., ordering him to inoculate all of the forces that came through Philadelphia. He explained that: "Necessity not only authorizes but seems to require the measure, for should the disorder infect the Army . . . we should have more to dread from it, than from the Sword of the Enemy."
The urgency was real. Troops were scarce and encampments had turned into nomadic hospitals of festering disease, deterring further recruitment. Both Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin, after surveying the havoc wreaked by Variola in the Canadian campaign, expressed fears that the virus would be the army's ultimate downfall. (Fenn 2001)
At the time, the practice of infecting the individual with a less-deadly form of the disease was widespread throughout Europe. Most British troops were immune to Variola, giving them an enormous advantage against the vulnerable colonists. (Fenn 2001) Conversely, the history of inoculation in America (beginning with the efforts of the Reverend Cotton Mather in 1720) was pocked by the fear of the contamination potential of the process. Such fears led the Continental Congress to issue a proclamation in 1776 prohibiting Surgeons of the Army to inoculate.
Washington suspected the only available recourse was inoculation, yet contagion risks aside, he knew that a mass inoculation put the entire army in a precarious position should the British hear of his plans. Moreover, Historians estimate that less than a quarter of the Continental Army had ever had the virus; inoculating the remaining three quarters and every new recruit must have seemed daunting. Yet the high prevalence of disease among the army regulars was a significant deterrent to desperately needed recruits, and a dramatic reform was needed to allay their fears.
Weighing the risks, on February 5th of 1777, Washington finally committed to the unpopular policy of mass inoculation by writing to inform Congress of his plan. Throughout February, Washington, with no precedent for the operation he was about to undertake, covertly communicated to his commanding officers orders to oversee mass inoculations of their troops in the model of Morristown and Philadelphia (Dr. Shippen's Hospital). At least eleven hospitals had been constructed by the year's end.
Variola raged throughout the war, devastating the Native American population and slaves who had chosen to fight for the British in exchange for freedom. Yet the isolated infections that sprung up among Continental regulars during the southern campaign failed to incapacitate a single regiment.
With few surgeons, fewer medical supplies, and no experience, Washington conducted the first mass inoculation of an army at the height of a war that immeasurably transformed the international system. Defeating the British was impressive, but simultaneously taking on Variola was a risky stroke of genius.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.”
— President Biden, in an address to the nation, speaking directly to the unvaccinated.
This story reminded me of what happened to the dinosaurs. The scientists believed that a huge meteor hit in the Gulf of Mexico and it caused climate changes that killed all of them.
Vaccines stop new variants
The delta variant has spread around the globe, and the next variants are already on the rise. If the goal is to limit infections, vaccines are the answer.
Even though vaccinated people can still get infected with the delta variant, they tend to experience shorter, milder infections than unvaccinated individuals. This greatly reduces the chances of any mutated virus – either one that makes the virus more transmissible or one that could allow it to get past immunity from vaccines – from jumping from one person to another.
Eventually, when nearly everyone has some immunity to the coronavirus from vaccination, viruses that break through this immunity could gain a competitive advantage over other strains. It is theoretically possible that in this situation, natural selection will lead to variants that can infect and cause serious disease in vaccinated people.
However, these mutants must still escape the population bottleneck. It is unlikely that vaccine-induced immunity will be the major player in variant emergence as long as there are lots of new infections occurring. It’s simply a numbers game, and for now, the modest benefit the virus would get from vaccine evasion is dwarfed by the vast opportunities to infect unvaccinated people.
The world has already witnessed the relationship between the number of infections and the rise of mutants. The coronavirus remained essentially unchanged for months until the pandemic got out of control. With relatively few infections, the genetic code had limited opportunities to mutate. But as infection clusters exploded, the virus rolled the dice millions of times and some mutations produced fitter mutants.
The best way to stop new variants is to stop their spread, and the answer to that is vaccination.
If we don't get vaccinated every time the virus could eliminate human beings..

This story reminded me of what happened to the dinosaurs. The scientists believed that a huge meteor hit in the Gulf of Mexico and it caused climate changes that killed all of them.
Narrator: The dinosaurs were killed off as a direct effect of the asteroid (When a hunk of space rock gets that big, it's call an asteroid.) The climate at the time didn't really changed and temperatures and other climate data returned to their base values after the effects of the asteroid subsided.
The directives represent a significant step in pushing the private sector, an area where the president has been hesitant to use federal powers too heavily.
Directives are not governor mandates. How they apply the directives is up to the companies.
And again the President has the right to direct companies.
Not again.
The fragments didn't kill the dinosaurs but the fact is that the climate change was temporary but it killed the entire population of dinosaurs.
You don't know shit.
What caused global mass extinctions?
Around 75% of Earth's animals, including dinosaurs, suddenly died out at the same point in time. So how was it all caused by a rock hurtling into the coast of Central America?
Paul explains, 'The asteroid hit at high velocity and effectively vaporised. It made a huge crater, so in the immediate area there was total devastation. A huge blast wave and heatwave went out and it threw vast amounts of material up into the atmosphere.
'It sent soot travelling all around the world. It didn't completely block out the Sun, but it reduced the amount of light that reached the Earth's surface. So it had an impact on plant growth.'

Like dominos, this trailed up the food chain, causing the ecosystem to collapse. The reduction in plant life had a huge impact on herbivores' ability to survive, which in turn meant that carnivores would also have suffered from having less food available.
Breeding seasons would have been shorter and conditions harsher. All living things would have been affected in some way, both on land and in the ocean.
Mammals like us were able to adjust to higher temperatures than cold blooded animals like dinosaurs.
Climate change has existed for millions of years.
Global climate change
The blame can't solely rest on the asteroid. Prior to its crash landing, Earth was experiencing a period of climate change. This was making things harder for life on our planet.
In what is now central India, there was substantial volcanic activity that, although unrelated to the asteroid impact, was causing problems of its own. The resulting lava outcrop is now known as the Deccan Traps.
Paul says, 'For two million years there was a huge amount of volcanic activity going on, spewing gases into the atmosphere and having a major impact on global climate.
'There were also longer-term changes. The continents were drifting around and splitting apart from each other, creating bigger oceans, which changed ocean and atmosphere patterns around the world. This also had a strong effect on climate and vegetation.'
Ammonites were just one of the groups of animals to die out during the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction event, 66 million years ago

The last non-bird dinosaurs were living at a time of environmental change, some of which began millions of years before they went extinct. The asteroid was the final, killer blow.

OSHA has a legal mandate to protect workers from illness, just as it has protected workers from cancer causing chemicals used in the workplace,” Shapiro continued. “OSHA will have to meet its statutory requirement as to findings and evidence, but there should be no issue of constitutionality. Workers with a bona fide health or religious reason will likely be exempted because the failure to do so may present constitutional issues.”
New York University Law Professor Roderick Hills also agreed the OSHA mandate was constitutionally permissible.
“The OSH Act rule is certainly constitutional,” he told Law&Crime. “The federal government has regulated workplace safety since 1970, when Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act into law. The businesses covered by the Act are all regarded as either ‘in’ or ‘affecting’ interstate commerce and therefore within Congress’ power to regulate under Article I, section 8, clause 3 of the Constitution (the so-called ‘commerce clause’).”
Hills said the OSHA rules were likely to pass muster because they are authorized by the OSH Act itself which provides, in relevant part:
(a) Each employer —
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
The only potential issue with the OSHA mandate, Hills said, was “neither constitutional nor statutory but procedural.”
Before Dying, An Unvaccinated TikTok User, Aged 31, Begged Others Not to Repeat Her Mistake
September 9, 2021
SHARON PRUITT-YOUNG
"I shouldn't have waited."
In the final video posted on her TikTok account, Megan Alexandra Blankenbiller pleaded with her followers not to make the same mistake she did — waiting to get the COVID-19 vaccine — that eventually cost her her life.
Megan Alexandra Blankenbiller became sick before she was able to get the COVID-19 vaccine. She spent her final days in the hospital trying to help others avoid the same mistake.
Blankenbiller, or @atasteofalex on TikTok, died of COVID-19 last month after documenting her journey with the virus through a series of short videos. She first announced that she'd gotten COVID-19 on Aug. 13 with a video of herself in the hospital. In the caption, she urged others: "DO NOT WAIT TO GET VACCINATED! Go now!!"
It was a sentiment that she echoed in her next three videos.
The Share Of U.S. Adults Willing To Get Vaccinated Ticks Up, A New Poll Finds
In one video, she dispelled the misconception that those who are vaccinated cannot get COVID-19 and explained that it helps your body withstand the virus if you do get it.
In her next, she said she'd been afraid to get the vaccine. She also said that since she'd been at the hospital, she'd been hearing the "moans and the screams of people in pain" — the grief of those who had likely lost their loved ones.
In her final video, filmed in a hospital bed as the others had been, she admitted that it was getting harder to talk but shared her own story: She was not against vaccines but had been taking time to research and wanted to get vaccinated at the same time as her family — a decision she said she came to regret.
"I do think it was a mistake. I shouldn't have waited," she said. "If you are even 70% sure that you want the vaccine, go get it. Don't wait. Go get it because hopefully if you get it, then you won't end up in the hospital like me, OK?"
Blankenbiller died nine days after her last video was posted Aug. 15, CNN reported. She was 31. Before her death, she'd made appointments to get vaccinated with her mother and sisters, but she became sick before she was able to get the vaccine, according to WebMD.
Blankenbiller's story is similar to many that have been shared in recent months of those who did not get vaccinated but, after contracting COVID-19, wished they had. Some of those people have begun encouraging others to get the shot.
Health officials have said they hope these stories will raise vaccination rates and save lives.
Uh-huh. What exactly was your cost when a stranger is not vaccinated. How did it personally affect you.
Other than increase hospitalizations what is the cost to society.
And what makes you think a scolding by the President is going to get the unvaccinated vaccinated.
“The OSH Administrator will likely have to go through notice and comment rule-making process to enact this policy unless the agency can take advantage of the exception for ‘good cause’ provided by section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act,” he continued. “Notice and comment rule-making can take many months and sometimes years. I imagine, however, that there is probably ‘good cause’ to promulgate the rule immediately and solicit comments while the rule goes into effect. Good cause usually exists when there is an immediate need to install a rule to avoid immediate harm. Surely, that is the case with COVID infections.”
While the APA may, in theory, provide both hurdles and legs needed to jump them, other legal experts noted that the underlying statute would likely short-circuit any APA-based challenge to the mandate.
“Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate easily falls within the commerce clause because it applies to employers with 100 or more employees, and the OSH Act specifically provides for Emergency Temporary Standards for employee safety, without regard to the Administrative Procedures Act,” attorney Max Kennerly explained via Twitter.
The CMS Mandate
A different set of rules issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will require all health care workers at any facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements–which includes the overwhelming majority of health care facilities in the country–to be vaccinated. This rule is estimated to impact some 50,000 health care facilities and will apply to all “CMS-regulated settings, including clinical staff, individuals providing services under arrangements, volunteers, and staff who are not involved in direct patient, resident, or client care,” according to the White House.
“I am expanding vaccination requirements to cover those who work in hospitals, home health care facilities, and other medical facilities,” the president said via Twitter. “If you are seeking care at a health facility, you should know that the people treating you are vaccinated. Period.”
The CMS is working in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on an interim final rule with a notice-and-comment period, according to HomeCare magazine, suggesting the administration will work through standard APA procedures to secure the legal foundation necessary to enforce the health care worker mandate. The agencies’ action here builds on vaccine requirements for nursing facilities promulgated as regulations earlier this year.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the Commerce Clause gives an agency operating under delegated congressional authority the power to issue a mandate that would be legally sound if “structured as requirements on entities in interstate commerce, such as a requirement on entities to verify vaccination status.”
“Under this authority, which is subject to several limitations, Congress may offer federal funds to nonfederal entities and prescribe the terms and conditions under which the funds are accepted and used by recipients,” CRS notes. “Over the past century, Congress has frequently invoked this authority in the public health context, including for purposes of controlling specified diseases, establishing neighborhood or community health centers, and creating federal health insurance programs, including Medicare and Medicaid.”
The bottom line is that he is using the laws that the Congress has passed and signed by the President.
Traitor Joe policies suck.
"Natural gas prices have doubled this year and are expected to continue to rise, resulting in larger winter heating bills for some consumers and higher costs for electric utilities."
a) Each employer —
(1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;
(2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act.
Which was met to prevent work place accidents. Even now it's hard to make an interstate commerce argument for OHSA. But OHSA passed in the days of the Warren Court where they had a loose interpretation of the interstate commerce clause.
Today's court has a more narrow interpretation.
President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a series of vaccine mandates estimated to impact upwards of 100 million Americans.
“This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Biden said during a press conference. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans.”
The administration’s latest exercise of highly-publicized state power in response to the renewed COVID-19 pandemic was predictably met with grumbling from discontented online posters and commentators, primarily on the political right. Quickly after Biden’s plans were made public, the hashtag #DoNotComply spread on Twitter.
Legal experts, however, quickly noted that the vaccine mandates were likely to pass constitutional muster.
“Yes, this is constitutional,” famed constitutional law professor and Dean of Berkeley Law School Erwin Chemerinsky, told Law&Crime.
“There is no constitutional problem with requiring people be vaccinated,” the author of the premier constitutional case law textbook used in U.S. law schools added. “The government could require everyone to be vaccinated against COVID.”
“This was resolved by the Supreme Court in 1905,” Chemerinsky said, referring to Jacobson v. Massachusetts.
Other legal experts offered a few caveats to the new proposals.
The OSHA Mandate
The first proposal will have the U.S. Department of Labor, under the auspices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, issue new rules that mandate any business with 100 or more employees enforce vaccine compliance among their workforce or maintain a regime where employees submit to weekly COVID-19 testing.
The new rules will further mandate that such large businesses must provide paid time off for their employees to receive the free vaccinations–and for any necessary post-vaccine recuperation.
“To continue efforts to ensure that no worker loses a dollar of pay because they get vaccinated, OSHA is developing a rule that will require employers with more than 100 employees to provide paid time off for the time it takes for workers to get vaccinated or to recover if they are under the weather post-vaccination,” the White House explained in a press release announcing the new directives.
“The issue is whether the government has the authority under some statute to order employers to require vaccination or weekly testing,” OSHA expert and Wake Forest University Law Professor Sid Shapiro told Law&Crime. “If such authority exists, it would be constitutional because Congress can regulate interstate commerce.”
New York City-based attorney and writer Luppe B. Luppen said the relevant statute was contained in OSHA’s authorizing legislation, the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970, which was signed into law by then-president Richard Nixon.
In response to conservative writer Andrew Egger calling Biden’s new proposals “nuts,” Luppen retorted that the move was “a plain Jane congressionally authorized OSHA regulatory proceeding under Section 6(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.”
“OSHA’s been around for 50 years,” federal employment attorney Bradley P. Moss added via Twitter.
“OSHA has a legal mandate to protect workers from illness, just as it has protected workers from cancer causing chemicals used in the workplace,” Shapiro continued. “OSHA will have to meet its statutory requirement as to findings and evidence, but there should be no issue of constitutionality. Workers with a bona fide health or religious reason will likely be exempted because the failure to do so may present constitutional issues.”
New York University Law Professor Roderick Hills also agreed the OSHA mandate was constitutionally permissible.

The businesses covered by the Act are all regarded as either ‘in’ or ‘affecting’ interstate commerce and therefore within Congress’ power to regulate under Article I, section 8, clause 3 of the Constitution (the so-called ‘commerce clause’).”
Hills said the OSHA rules were likely to pass muster because they are authorized by the OSH Act itself which provides, in relevant part:

Good cause usually exists when there is an immediate need to install a rule to avoid immediate harm. Surely, that is the case with COVID infections.”
While the Administrative Procedure Act may, in theory, provide both hurdles and legs needed to jump them, other legal experts noted that the underlying statute would likely short-circuit any APA-based challenge to the mandate.
“Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate easily falls within the commerce clause because it applies to employers with 100 or more employees, and the OSH Act specifically provides for Emergency Temporary Standards for employee safety, without regard to the Administrative Procedures Act,” attorney Max Kennerly explained via Twitter.
I read all of this before I posted it because the law matters.
The bottom line is that he is using the laws that the Congress has passed and signed by the President.
A LIE.
Read your own plagiarism.
Note the extensive use of the word "rule."
Fascist Joe is is directing his minions to furiously write RULES to skirt the laws by which he is bound.
And the commerce clause has been stretched to a molecular thin-ness from which to draw powers that are so far outside it's original intent as to render the clause meaningless. The commerce clause has been used over the years as a universal power grab, and no one has seemed to notice.
This is a Fascist power grab straight up.
I saw an earlier comment on this thread that staid "Dr." Jill wanted to go full Australia. Someone needs to inform that twat waffle that the reason Australia has been able to revert back to being a penal colony is that they DISARMED their populace years ago.
1933 folks.
1933.

he asteroid hit at high velocity and effectively vaporised. It made a huge crater, so in the immediate area there was total devastation. A huge blast wave and heatwave went out and it threw vast amounts of material up into the atmosphere.
'It sent soot travelling all around the world. It didn't completely block out the Sun, but it reduced the amount of light that reached the Earth's surface. So it had an impact on plant growth.
This was the effect of the asteroid not climate change, shit for brains.

Of course it you piece of trash.
A different set of rules issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will require all health care workers at any facility that receives Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements–
A great many healthcare workers refuse to be vaccinated. Most want to see if the vaccine is really safe and effective. They are more afraid of the vaccine than losing their job, Wonder what they know.

So it had an impact on plant growth.
Like the dinosaurs there was a mass plant extinction. About 50% of the species in North America died out. Surprisingly (unlike the dinosaurs) whole genus did not die out. There were still conifers and deciduous trees and interestingly ferns.
Also, oceanic flora and fauna was surprisingly intact even though the asteroid hit water.
The Federal Employee/Contractor Mandate
Finally, the administration will require all federal employees and “employees of contractors that do business with the federal government” to be vaccinated.
According to the Associated Press, the federal employee and contractor mandate will not have an option for covered workers to test out.
Shapiro was adamant that the contractor mandate also presented “no constitutional issue since contracting with the government is voluntary.”
“You don’t have to do it, but if you do it you’re subject to the conditions that the government establishes for such contracting,” he explained. “Again, the issue is one of statutory authority. My understanding is that the government generally can impose health and safety requirements on government contractors under existing law.”
“[T]here is one obvious source of statutory authority here,” Hills added. “The 1949 Procurement Act provides that the President is responsible for administering ‘an economical and efficient system for the procurement and supply of personal property and non-personal services.’ It is well-established that, subject to statutory limits, the President can, through the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (in the Department of Labor) can make rules to carry out this general statutory duty.”

Corporate America reacts to Biden's vaccination mandate
"We have tools to combat the virus ... if we can come together as a country to use those tools," Biden said.
NBC's Stephanie Ruhle breaks down the White House's 'workaround' to get people vaccinated

The White House moved from carrot to stick Thursday after President Joe Biden introduced a rule that requires companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workforces are fully vaccinated or can produce negative Covid tests at least once a week.
The new requirements are a step to "combat those blocking public health," Biden said at a White House briefing Thursday, noting that around 80 million Americans have "failed to get the shot."
"We have tools to combat the virus ... if we can come together as a country to use those tools," Biden said.
A rising number of Covid-19 cases has threatened children's return to school, slashed consumer confidence, rocked the jobs market, derailed travel plans, delayed employees' return to downtown offices and led more and more companies to reduce their growth forecasts for the rest of the year.
Biden's multifaceted approach to resolving the issue includes three months of at-cost testing kits from Amazon, Walmart and Kroger. In addition, Medicaid beneficiaries will get full coverage for at-home tests, and the federal government will expand a free testing program to 10,000 pharmacies.
"We know vaccines, coupled with widespread and convenient testing, serve as powerful tools to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, keeping the U.S. economy open, and protecting America's workforce," Brian Huseman, Amazon's vice president of public policy, said in a statement. "We're proud to work with the Biden administration to increase access to affordable, high-quality, FDA-authorized tests, to keep us moving toward a full recovery."
Biden praised the companies that have already implemented mandates, citing United Airlines, Disney, Tyson Foods "and even Fox News."
United Airlines announced last month that all employees would have to be vaccinated by Sept. 25; the vast majority of its pilots and flight attendants have already gotten the shots. This week, the airline also said anyone refusing to be vaccinated for religious reasons would have to stay home until the pandemic "meaningfully recedes."
After meatpacking plants became early hotbeds for viral transmission, the meat producer Tyson Foods said last month that workers in its facilities would have to be vaccinated by Nov. 1.
Amid a critical shortage of workers, many CEOs who are in favor of vaccinations have said they have been holding back on mandates out of fear that workers would quit for competitors that do not require employees be inoculated. Biden's mandate simplifies that equation.
"We've noticed a huge increase, just recently, in the share of postings that either mandate or request employees be vaccinated," Julia Pollak, labor economist at the jobs platform ZipRecruiter, said last month, before the Food and Drug Administration's full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech two-dose
"When you see more major employers require vaccinations, that will probably set a trend for other employers to follow," she said.
Joshua Bolten, president and CEO of the Business Roundtable, a group of chief executives from companies including Amazon, Walmart and Home Depot, said in a statement Thursday: "Business Roundtable welcomes the Biden Administration's continued vigilance in the fight against COVID. America's business leaders know how critical vaccination and testing are in defeating the pandemic."
CVS Health said in a statement to NBC News that it applauds companies' decisions to implement vaccination mandates, adding that "vaccinating more Americans is clearly the most effective way to prevail over the pandemic."
A spokesman for the United Auto Workers said the labor union is "looking at the details of the announcement and how it impacts our over 700 employer contracts and our members," Reuters reported. Last month, UAW President Ray Curry said the union would need to negotiate before any mandates could be put into place.
Biden also issued an executive order that requires federal employees and contractors to get inoculated, a rule that will affect more than 2 million employees.
Tony Reardon, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said in a statement: "NTEU will monitor closely the implementation of this policy at the agencies where we represent employees to make sure that those with medical and religious exceptions are accommodated."
He also said: "NTEU members, like American society at large, will have differing reactions to the new policy. Some employees will disagree. Others will welcome the additional security that comes with knowing that all of their coworkers are vaccinated. Either way, the law is clear that employers, including the federal government, may implement a vaccination requirement for employees."
Most companies agree with Biden.
it rather coincidental that we were conspiring with China to turn a harmless bat virus into one that is lethal to mankind? Does it not seem a little odd that the very man the media have lionized, since he is part of their cultural tribe, as the leader of the U.S. response provided funding to this effort? I'm not a big believer in coincidences, and if this was a coincidence, it is the biggest one of all time.
For those who might question that this "nonpolitical" wunderkind is part of their tribe, anybody who says about Hillary Clinton that "we all love her and are very proud to know her" is a leftist to the core.
If Fauci was aligned with the right instead of the left, the biggest question we'd likely be contemplating is which prison he would be heading to.
Frankly, I don't know if the COVID release was an experiment gone bad or something far more sinister and intentional. But it is always worth considering cui bono, or who stands to benefit, when looking at an issue like this. The greatest beneficiaries of the destruction wrought by COVID (and the overheated response to it that is still paralyzing Western democracies) were China and leftists and globalists worldwide.
The release of the virus accomplished a number of objectives. It reversed the damage that the Trump administration was doing to China while resulting in a significant increase in China's comparative power. It resulted in a strong move toward authoritarianism across the globe. And it resulted in the weakest and most compromised American president of my lifetime. Cui bono, indeed.
At worst, this is a global conspiracy that rivals any in history. At best, this is the worst cover-up of recent history. The story is the blockbuster of all blockbusters. But Democracy dies in darkness, as the paper that marveled at President Biden's competence and compassion intones, and darkness is what we have at the moment.
I've gained a lot of respect for Senator Rand Paul for his commitment to the truth. Here's to hoping a few other politicians buck the cultural power of the left and demand accountability and answers to the biggest questions of recent history. The leftstream media certainly aren't going to do it, but we shouldn't let them bury a story of this magnitude.

Natural Gas Prices Skyrocketing, doubling.
No worries for me i heat with wood.
"The EIA estimates approximately 1.4 percent of U.S. households will use cord wood or wood pellets as their primary residential space heating fuel during the 2020-'21 winter. That percentage equates to nearly 1.8 million households nationwide".
Come on Roger, share you great news.
