A three judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Louisiana has temporarily blocked the Biden administration OSHA vaccination mandate [Court Ruling Available Here].
A group of states including Louisiana and Texas along with businesses, religious groups and organizations filed their petition on Friday with the court. The Biden administration must reply to the court by 5:00pm Monday thereafter the court will decide if a permanent injunction is warranted.
New York Times – […] At the core of the legal challenge is the question of whether OSHA exceeded its authority in issuing the rule and whether such a mandate would need to be passed by Congress. […] The suit against the mandate stated that President Biden “set the legislative policy” of substantially increasing the number of Americans covered by vaccination requirements, and “then set binding rules enforced with the threat of large fines.”
“That is a quintessential legislative act — and one wholly unrelated to the purpose of OSHA itself, which is protecting workplace safety,” the suit said. “Nowhere in OSHA’s enabling legislation does Congress confer upon it the power to end pandemics.”
I’m not sure what is more blood boiling: that Joe Biden thinks it is okay to mock the American electorate, or that he actually believes the horse crap that comes out of his twisted, stupid brain.
The question was a perfectly well presented inquiry about the Biden administration’s incompetence to put policies in place to streamline the supply chain chaos that he has created. His response is disconnected, absent of anything even remotely accurate, and entirely disconnected from factual substance. This guy is a complete and utter failure of staggering and stunning incompetence. WATCH:
I do not use the word ‘hate‘ lightly. I have a solid grounding on what that word actually means. However, the only people I hate worse than the current occupants of the White House, are the complicit DC media stenographers who sit there and giggle as this pontificating pustule of an idiot spouts nonsense. They clap and comply as if this is the professional or normal state of a functioning government.
COVID didn’t do squat to disrupt supply chains, impact prices or create massive shortages and inflation… people did. Specifically, the people in the background of this administration who intentionally trashed the U.S. economy, because they are ideologically aligned with that destruction. The current economic team is devoid of any real world experience that would shape their outlooks on how to solve problems. Example: Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg.
[Transcript] – […] THE NATIONAL FOOL: (Laughs.) (The fool covers his eyes and points towards the press.) (Laughter.)
Q Mr. President, Democratic Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger said of your presidency this week: “Nobody elected him to be FDR. They elected him to be normal and stop the chaos.” How do you view your mandate after Tuesday’s election losses for Democrats? And is she wrong?
THE NATIONAL FOOL: Well, Abigail is a friend. We had a long talk. She joked and said that I have a picture — she said I have a picture of Roosevelt hanging in my office — her office, okay?
I don’t intend to anybody but Joe Biden. That’s who I am. And what I’m trying to do is do the things that I ran on to do. And, look, people out there are — ordinary, hardworking Americans are really, really — been put through the wringer the last couple years, starting with COVID.
The professional Marxists are coming up against the reality of their minority position worldview. Earlier today the Democrat Governor’s Association (DGA) informed the political club insiders the DGA are not going to fund any candidate attempting to unseat Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. {LINK} The underlying message from the democrat apparatus is clear, attempting to win a large race in the increasingly free state of Florida is futile.
Meanwhile Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has scored two big wins for freedom with court cases affirming the state position that parental choice in the school mask option is legal and safe. {LINK} School districts in blue regions are being forced to reverse their effort to force students to wear masks. DeSantis and the Florida legislature have won that battle with support from reasonable science and factual medical research.
At the same time Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a petition for review of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandatory vaccine rule within the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. {LINK} This fulfills a promise by Governor DeSantis to trigger a direct fight against the Biden administration on the issue of mandatory vaccinations. This effort, also taking place in other circuit courts around the nation, has obvious implications.
Amid the larger fight for freedom, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke Friday at the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and used this ppportunity to tout his record and blast Democrats and the Biden administration. WATCH:
.
Governor DeSantis is doing well on a state level, with the issues of freedom, liberty and constitutional constraints of government. He is doing a lot correctly.
However, there is no indication -yet- that he would be willing or able to confront the issue of toxic globalism on a national scale with strength to advance the issues of economic nationalism that underpin the biggest freedom issue for Making America Great Again. On the big picture issue of Wall Street -vs- Main Street, the direct confrontation of multinational corporations to support the American middle-class, DeSantis has yet to take a public position.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked what the Biden administration plan was to increase U.S. oil production. Her response is exactly what you might believe it would be from a thoroughly incompetent ideological administration. WATCH:
So what can a U.S. President and administration specifically do?
We have abundant U.S. energy resources. Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.
Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
Reapprove the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.
None of this requires any approval from OPEC. Strategically, the all of the above approach enhances U.S. national security and diminishes the influence of Russia, China and Iran. Within six months of the above, gasoline will plummet
The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has finalized the formal process to require employers of more than 100 employees to mandate vaccination as a requirement for employment in the United States.
While the OSHA rules appear to have been finalized, the official publication in the Federal Register is scheduled to take place tomorrow November 5, 2021.
The OSHA Rule is being authorized by the Dept of Labor under an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). The ETS will go into effect on December 5, 2021, with the final vaccinations and testing in place by January 4, 2022 (sixty days after registration). There is NO END DATE to the rule. I repeat, despite the rule being filed under an emergency “temporary” standard, there is no end date for the rule to expire or be reauthorized.
As published, the rule affects employers with 100 or more employees that are not (1) federal contractors or (2) health care facilities (those are subject to different regulations).
Employees who work from home; and/or have no contact with other employees; and/or have contact with customers; and/or work outside; are exempted from the OSHA requirements as published.
♦ Employers have two options: (1) Mandatory vaccinations with exemptions for disabilities and sincere religious beliefs; or (2) Weekly testing andface coverings for unvaccinated employees. (If unvaccinated employees work outside, they do not have to mask).
That means if you are not vaccinated, for whatever reason, you must wear a mask in the workplace and visibly identify yourself as unvaccinated.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) employer vaccine mandate. As soon as the unlawful emergency temporary standard (ETS) is published in the Federal Register tomorrow, the lawsuit will be immediately filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. For more information on the court action, click here. WATCH:
.
On page 5: “The ETS protects these workers through the most effective and efficient control available – vaccination – and further protects workers who remain unvaccinated through required regular testing, use of face coverings, and removal of all infected employees from the workplace.”
A recent study from Sweden published in The Lancet found that within 200 days, mRNA vaccines had no ability to prevent transmission whatsoever.
The off-year elections take place in various states and municipalities today. The Virginia and New Jersey governors races will be decided along with the New York City mayoral race and numerous other regional elections in FL, OH, MN, PA and MI.
Virginia will be the most watched race as polls close at 7:00pm ET. Virginia passed a new law last year requiring counties to pre-process absentee ballots before the election, which should allow officials to report the result of the advance vote soon after the polls close. However, if you see those previously processed absentee ballots ‘NOT REPORTED’ early that would indicate the vote counters holding back ballot harvest results until they figure out how many they need.
The media will use these early results, likely favorable to Terry McAuliffe, in order to set the tone according to party position and direction from the executive media suites.
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin held a press conference moments ago to say he’s done with the insufferable chicanery within the legislative social spending bill, also called the “human infrastructure bill” or Biden’s “build back better” bill, or the “reconciliation bill”.
Nancy Pelosi has been sitting on the previously passed $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill that was passed by the House and Senate {Go Deep} but has refused to allow a vote until a bigger social spending bill -constructed using the reconciliation process to radically change the U.S. by the AOC radical communists in congress- can be attached. For months the debate over how far the communists can push the social spending package has been argued and debated, today Joe Manchin tapped out.
Manchin has done today what he was always likely to do, and two issues triggered today as his moment. The cherry in his construct is Biden’s current location. WATCH:
Now, let’s get to the politics of why Manchin is making his move….
It is not coincidental that Manchin makes this statement today, as the NBC poll showing massive drops in support for Joe Biden is being discussed widely. Manchin knows he is sitting in a spotlight of an inflection point; Manchin is politically astute and cunning to the ways of politics. Manchin comes across as meek and mild-tempered, a man of reasonable disposition… but that doesn’t accurately portray his cunning. This is his chance to make a big move.
Senator Joe Manchin also knows that Democrats are going to implode as the Obama allied communist puppet masters behind Biden have a one term agenda to exploit their control over the dementia patient currently occupying the White House. Manchin knows the collapse of the Democrat Party is his opportunity; he also knows THE REALITY behind the released Marist Poll [data here] showing a majority of non-communist Democrats want nothing to do with the senile occupant of the White House.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on the DC narrative shaping program hosted by swamp gatekeeper Chris Wallace. Within the interview Buttigieg was questioned about why West Coast port backups are worse now than before the White House announced their solution to operate ports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Buttigieg proclaimed the ports are being impacted by the pandemic, and ships stuck in China are the reason why ships are sitting off the coast of California. Yeah, try to square that circular logic. LOL. The scale of incompetence, even in common sense politispeak, is off the charts. The illogical statements by this guy are legendary; however, he outdid himself today.
Eventually Pete weaves his way through fourteen nonsensical catch phrases to get to a point where he proclaims nothing in the supply chain will start being more efficient until everyone is vaccinated. And yes, it appears that he is so stuck in pretzel-speak, Buttigieg actually believes that.
All of that said, I wouldn’t post this for review if it wasn’t for the ‘hard-hitting‘ segment from Wallace that comes right after. You just gotta watch (prompted):
.
The southern border is in crisis, food inflation is skyrocketing, transportation and logistical supply chains are a mess because of emissions and regulation, store shelves are empty, gasoline is ridiculously expensive, the blue-collar working class is getting crushed, the vaccination mandate is wreaking havoc on jobs, airlines and employment for first responders, overall national anxiety is at a high point, the economy is in a free-fall and two-thirds of all Americans now say the administration is incompetent. Along comes Chris Wallace with the hard-hitting question about what Pete and his husband are doing with their twins for Halloween.
Perhaps it’s only a lie if he believes it. However, what Joe Biden said in front of an assembled group of G20 leaders was not only a lie, it was so transparently false that world leaders knew Biden was just making stuff up. Truly this is such a false statement you have to wonder if the script writer was intentionally setting up Joe Biden for ridicule.
Unfortunately, none of the media fact-checkers are likely to call him out for this; but, believe me, those world leaders sitting around the table know this level of propaganda is beyond anything even Baghdad Bob would attempt. And yes, it’s also in the transcript.
Given all of the economic impacts crushing the United States working class, Joe Biden’s team thought it would be a good idea politically for his administration to select “Supply Chain Resilience” as the U.S. selected discussion topic for the G20 group. During his introductory propaganda remarks (obviously he did not write), Joe Biden said the following [video at 02:34]:
TRANSCRIPT – […] “Just a few weeks ago, we were able to facilitate an agreement with key unions, retailers, and freight movers to begin operating two of the largest ports in the United States that account for 40 percent of the imports on the West Coast: the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, California. So, we got them to move from 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, to 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.” (read more)
The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and Port of Long Beach (POLB) have never worked 8hr/days Monday through Friday. That is complete, abject and utter nonsense. That statement is so far away from the truth, the light from where truth begins could not catch that statement in a year. Even the ASL interpreter seemed to notice (see below).
A group of states including Louisiana and Texas along with businesses, religious groups and organizations filed their petition on Friday with the court. The Biden administration must reply to the court by 5:00pm Monday thereafter the court will decide if a permanent injunction is warranted.
