Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats are attempting to change the OSHA fines within the section of labor law that applies directly to the mandatory COVID vaccine. The scale of the fines is massive against any business that does not comply with the anticipated OSHA rule which is yet unannounced; and they are attempting to slip the OSHA change into the massive $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill.
If this OSHA change becomes law, the Biden administration will force American businesses to choose between vaccinating their employees, testing them weekly for Covid-19, or going bankrupt under crippling OSHA fines.
(Forbes) […] Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s House quietly tucked an enforcement mechanism into their $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill, passed it out of the Budget Committee, and sent it to the House floor.
Buried on page 168 of the House Democrats’ 2,465-page mega bill is a tenfold increase in fines for employers that “willfully,” “repeatedly,” or even seriously violate a section of labor law that deals with hazards, death, or serious physical harm to their employees.
The increased fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations—almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine. If enacted into law, vax enforcement could bankrupt non-compliant companies even more quickly than the $14,000 OSHA fine anticipated under Biden’s announced mandate. (read more for details)
I’m sure there is a large army of Republicon lawyers to counter their 365/24/7 Lawfare.
I’m not.
Why do you specify Republican lawyers? Both Democrat and Liberal-Progressive people own small to medium sized businesses that would close their businesses because of this horrendous addition to OSHA regulations.
If we do not kick this Xiden cartel of lunatics to the curb soon, the United States of America is KAPUT. Dictatorship and dystopian hell is the future.
Yes, how much more of this are we the people going to take?
Exactly. The civil war should already have occurred after the rigged election. It is amazing how people will follow like sheep and even take a harmful vaccine without even a peep. They will wake up however, when it is too late and their world has totally fallen apart.
Yup…this^^^^
Commie bones should have been picked clean by the buzzards by now…yet, they still consume oxygen.
Americans need to do their SIMPLE research. Not that hard. WHO would trust anything the left presents to us? We know they are trying to kill off the population, not a secret is it? I think we need to act smart and stand tall and not give in. I am greeted very nicely in our stores without a mask. NO ONE has said a thing. I think, secretly they wish they did not have to wear one and are glad to see me unmasked.
They are afraid to research ~ they think they are going back to their normal.
And these sheep are what causes dems to eventually take away your guns. They meekly get vaxed , wear masks not even dimly aware how this can lead to complete government control. They are so apathetic.
So true.
Exactly. By the time they wake up it will be tooo late.
clodfobble; look in your rear view mirror, squint and you will see it, right at the horizon.
Yah, the republicans would not dare to even try to impeach Biden. They say it won’t work but they should do it anyway! The dems did it twice to President Trump. Yes he was acquitted, but the history shows twice impeached president. The republicans evidently have no passion or outrage.
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.
Isn’t it ironic. The counterculture revolutionaries of the 1960’s … have become the “establishment”. An establishment that MUST be overturned to achieve the desires of their young selves.
Who knew there was an inner FASCIST in all those kids singing for … Freedom
Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.

So given that the jab is more dangerous than the virus for most people, wouldn’t it be violation to mandate the jab?
In fact mathematically this is true for everyone because the jab doesn’t work.
Therefore the risk of the jab is always greater than the virus by definition.
This is the problem with electing idiots. Every bill, regulation, law passed is automatically constitutional and enforceable. If a town council passed an ordinance that all bald men seen in public would be fined $50, it would be stupid and obviously unconstitutional, but you have to have standing, be bald and so fined, to challenge it in court and have a judge acknowledge the regulation was unconstitutional. I have a friend who is a constitutional lawyer and he says this is correct.
I have twice challenged a county council’s proposed regulation and they withdrew each regulation before it was approved realizing it was unconstitutional and didn’t want to suffer a lawsuit. But they could have let it stand and until it was overturned in court it could have caused problems for citizens, and maybe even county workers if citizens took issue with their privacy and property rights being violated under the Bill of Rights.
It’s called machinery.
One would be a fool to stick his finger near, much less in, the machinery, but having done so, the machinery snatches the finger and things are off and running. Due process then ensues, but whether the finger or the owner of said finger are whole or not is completely secondary. The machinery will run regardless of desires contrary.
And mist people dont have the time and resources to wait for the grudgingly slow wheels if “justice”, esoecially when your job is at stake, bills are due this week, and you’re given one week to take the jab.
Remember the South Jersey Atilis Gym owners, Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, who defied the lockdown orders, and later the mask mandates for exercising customers?
The health department shut them down.
His business was fined $15K a day, surpassing $1M.
NJ state emptied his bank account of $173K, to deny him funds during the legal process to contest the fines.
His business license was yanked.
Remember Ian’s words on a sign (see link): “Free men don’t ask permission.”

New Jersey SUCKS!! I lived there 20 years & learned what a lousy state Jersey is.
Spoke with an ace automechanic this morning. Echoes others’ concerns about supply chain problems. Can’t get parts. And when they do exist, he has to buy immediately. It will get bad and it will get bad quickly. Prepare accordingly.
Is there anybody out there who still doubts that these people want to destroy America? We keep calling them incompetent but they are actually following a very specific plan for the destruction of this country. I’m open to be proven wrong, if anybody can do it though.
Just like calling Repubs “stupid, lazy, greedy, cowardly or “playing by marquis of queensbury rules” which are excuses, and wrong.
Just as you say, its ALL intentional.
I’m trying to connect some dots … let me know if I’m on the right track or not:
Obama said that Biden effs up everything.
Kamala is waiting in the wings, keeping a distance, as Biden effs up everything.
Toxic Biden is playing his part beautifully for his team.
And then once Kamel takes over after Biden takes the rap, all of a sudden some of these supply line issues disappear and poof, prices start to come down and availability opens up, with the media praising the ability of Camel-A.
She’ll blow it.
Biden was an “Insurance policy” for Obama, because no matter how much you hated Obama, no one was going to “take him out”, because even a crazy loner would see Biden would be worse.
And, it worked, hence “rinse and repeat”, as bad as Biden is, Karmala would be worse; just look at what NYS got, by getting rid of Cuomo.
The global setup is now Leftism vs Common Sense and Common Decency. If leftists could not lie then Leftism would not exist. Leftism in humanity is a living expression of Satan’s insane spiritual evil.
Correct. Most of these people are older and NEVER grew up in a wicked society that they are pushing on us. I guess it is pure GREED on their part. SICKOS.
Globalism (Marxist Conmunism) vs Populist Economic Nationslism.
Whether in the marketplace of goods and services, or the marketplace of ideas, CONmunism can NOT compete, hence they MUST cheat.
THEY recognise this, in their mantra “By any means necesary”.
It is a CON, larger, more complex, but in the end no different that “3 card monte” or a Nigerian bank teller email.
And unfortunately, their are bunches (of fools) born every minute.
So, they couldn’t resist the temptation to mess with 29 USC 666.
Like moths to a flame.
This Nonsense Better Not Pass. Wake The F#$@ Up Americans
Government tyranny, plain and simple.
Hi all. Imagine a business that competes with yours having the ability to have OSHA or any other of the number of alphabet agencies called to harass you. We have already seen it in the testimony of Tea Party folks. We either get control of this serpent in short order or get strangled by it.
The longer we wait, the harder it’s going to be. We used to make fun of the French, calling them weak-kneed cowards. But they have been in the streets by the millions pushing the police back. What have we been doing lately?
I never understood how congress can put items into bills that are totally unrelated to the bill’s purpose. Infrastructure is immigration? Infrastructure is health mandate enforcement? Infrastructure is human rather than physical? Is there anything such as a non-germane amendment to a bill and are these amendments permitted? Our government is a septic tank.
Congress writes the rules of procedure that it must follow, and enforces them or doesn’t, as it chooses.
Why don’t they just cut to the quick and say they are the new emperors of the universe? Why not? It’s beyond absurd anymore, so why not go full mickey mouse and let everyone know we’re in cartoonland.
$70 fine, $700 fine, $7K fine, $70K fine, $700K fine…who reads text anymore? This is Ebola taking over our system of law and order; the legal guiderails simply dissolve and everything hemorrhages into a blob of lawlessness.
I think someone in Nasty Nan’s office saw the write up by Sundance and rushed to put the fines into the legislation. Maybe next time we shouldn’t tell them about the holes?
I’m sure it’s a total and funny coincidence that the article ammended just happens to be USC 666. Just funny happenstance. Sure.
glad you spotted that, because i know i did. nothing is by coincidence i was once told.
Government take over of private business equals socialism.
Wrong–it’s fascism. See Adolf Hitler.
Fascism, socialism, Nazism; They are all just different stages of Communism.
Yup, CONmunism. And do NOT get caught up in trying to differentiate between the different aspects, and their alleged ideologies, for they are exactly like the constant patter, of the street con pulling 3 card monte; its MEANT to distract you.
And doesn’t MEAN anything!
Please remind me how any of this makes sense for a virus with a fatality rate of less than 1%? Any number of things cause immediate threats that surpass the “danger” of covid 1000x over. This whole charade is completely and utterly irrational and needs to stop. I will not bow down to the government. They do not have sovereignty over our bodies.
The ultimate evil. Destroying our country by theft of the whole economy.
Yeah, got your ‘fiscal conservatives’ right here. How’s that workin’ for ya, GOPe?
Adult Talk: Between this clear madness, their ongoing gross violations of their oaths of office and the bigger picture of intentionally creating a National Debt Default (a.k.a. Cloward & Piven), might we have a recourse to hammer all of these elected (expletive)s under RICO statutes, individually, or as their respective party-org’s?
Democrats are always sneaking in on little cat’s feet to pass some Draconian Outrage in the middle of the night, media barely yawns and drives on.
No one had any idea Newsome’s Gruesomes were going to pass the permanent Mail-Ballots-to-Everyone-Forever Bill, so couldn’t even oppose it. Now will take a court battle to get back to status quo ante bellum. Why did they pass it? Because They Could
Meanwhile, Republicans in the Legislatures of AZ, GA, Wi, who hold the majority in both Houses, won’t even hold a quickie vote to nullify their crooked elections and save the Country from communist transformation. Apparently they’re waiting for some Drama to play out. They don’t need any proofs or judgements, findings or declarations. Just Do It! Like the Democrats pass crap Bills for no other reason than to line their pockets by shearing the taxpayers.
If they are holding out for more bribes, let us know and we can start a Go Fund Me account. I’ll contribute.
When the left see the opportunity to hang on to power by stealing votes they give themselves total power and quickly.
Once total control is set in stone they will stay in power forever. See Venezuela.
The last thing they would do is to have fair election and give all the power they now posses to the opposition. They won’t.
Imagine the next President being able to rule as he wants to. It won’t happen, unless it’s their President.
They have put down their roots. They are not planing on leaving through elections. AT ALL.
Republicans (voters) are worried about looking nice and unity.
Our side always fight fair and with respect, while the opposition goes for the win at all cost.
We are not using the same rules. That’s why the left advances
This is despicable tyranny. What is next, American Gulags?
This is just the beginning. Just wait awhile.
For the post-it campaign:
“If you’ve been vaccinated please be considerate by wearing a mask.”
CONGRESS CAN NOT ENACT ANY LAW THAT VIOLATES EXISTING LAWS. OSHA is violating the constitution if they go ahead with it. YOU ALL need to say NO. You all need to exercise you God and constitution given rights.
Ironic? Az Sb1070, which was to target EMPLOYERS, with criminal charges/fines for employing illegal aliens, was effectively gutted, with the last minute (C o C lobbyist inserted) addition of ONE word; “KNOWINGLY” (kind of like “willfully”, in that it requires getting into someones head, to detirmine what they know, or their “WILL”.
Instead of it being a given, that an employer with illegals, KNOW they are hiring illegals, Sherrifs dept had to insert undercover detectives INTO the business, in order to gather evidence to PROVE the employer was “KNOWINGLY” hiring illegals, making investigations more expensive and time consuming.
Mind you, the law stated if the employer ran all employees through E-verify, that was premptive defence against any charges.
Here, they are saying only if the employer “WILLFULLY” ignores the vax mandate, will OSHA charge them. So, in other words if the employer quietly ignores the mandate, they MAY get a pass, but any employer who publically and loudly says “NO, I will NOT comply!” will get hit with these exhorbitant, disproportionate fines.
Thing is, its all more bluster; as Sundance has pointed out, the buerocracy is not moving, at all to develop these OSHA “guidelines”.
Additionally, Courts have struck down disproportionate fines, such as the rediculous $250,000 fine for “misgendering”, and this is on a par.
But, they just can’t help themselves; Climate Change wasn’t enough, but using CCP virus, THAT has resonated, and given them “public health emergency” b.s. in order to justify doing any F’ing thing they want, and they are, in typical fashion, overplaying their hand, in a masterful fashion.
“KNOWINGLY” and “WILLFULLY”
Just make selective enforcement less transparent.
Their patrons and friends are exempt, as usual.
It is not about the jab.
Go to sermon audio.com and search “Weaver, John” under speakers.
Then “Nations”, the 5 sermon series is the one to start with.
Then search “Judgment” for more insight.
And in the meantime, the mandate is adversely affecring the lives of the flyover deplorables who are the left’s pawns. Two days after unwillingly taking the shot mandated by her employer under threat of losing her job, my daughter is experiencing blurred vision, which could be uveitis. I despise these people.
A song ‘killing me slowly’ comes to mind.
Did I read this correctly, 29 U.S.C. 666 ?????
Trump showed benefits of deregulation.
Dems show power by over regulating. (And quietly).
God save us all
And what is the penalty for not paying the fine. Who will they jail? And what if 30-50 companies resist? And how much will the government be willing to pay to fight this all the way to the Supreme Court. And what will the government do if 30-50 companies, each with more than a couple hundred employees go under and wind up with 6-10 thousand more unemployed. RESIST.
Who exactly is the Budget Committee ?
Are they prisoners ?
Cerner in MO has just mandated the jab for all employees. Any legislative help from the Republican controlled MO or KS legislatures has gone pfsst like a defective fire work. They are cowards or worse. Dr Pierre Kory of FLCCC fame tweeted yesterday that highly credible sources tell him “Between 100-200 members of Congress and staff and their families & staffers have been treated with IVM & our I-MASK+ protocol…” IVM for me, but not for thee. We should be in the streets yesterday, but we are not. Demand a straight up answer from your US Senators and Congressmen-Have you or members of your staff and family taken IVN and/or HCQ? Then demand the same from your state representatives.
