A federal judge in the Eastern District of Missouri has blocked the federal vaccine mandate contained in the medicare and medicaid rules for healthcare workers. [pdf ruling available here] Previously the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMMS) issued a regulation requiring healthcare workers at facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid to get vaccinated. This ruling is even more influential, as the workers protected in the ten states are specifically inside the healthcare industry.
(Business Insider) […] Judge Matthew Schelp of the Eastern District of Missouri issued the preliminary injunction for workers at Medicare- and Medicaid-certified medical facilities in Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Wyoming, and North and South Dakota, court documents said.
The 10 states had sued the Biden administration, saying the vaccine mandate was unconstitutional.
Schelp — whom President Donald Trump nominated to the bench in 2019 — said the public would benefit from the ruling “because it would ensure that federal agencies do not extend their power beyond the express delegation from Congress.” […] The Medicare and Medicaid regulation is what Monday’s ruling was about. The agency has said that rule affects 17 million workers at 76,000 healthcare facilities nationwide. (read more)
Hopefully the judicial commonsense becomes, well, more common.
The DC system is predictable in how they weaponize their branches against the electorate. As the primary races of the mid-term election looms, CTH also provides a few tripwires to watch. Keep in mind, when it comes to controlling the electorate, Democrat and Republican leadership, the UniParty writ large are united in that goal.
In this interview the insufferable House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff appears on CNN to discuss the House efforts to weaponize the J6 Committee for maximum political benefit. The key point to take away from this interview can only be found if you ignore the political manipulation, a shell game, around labeling the opposition as domestic extremists. The intent to use the J6 committee as a political narrative engineering effort is obvious; everyone will talk about that aspect.
Instead, listen to how many times Schiff notes the committee will provide the DOJ with information they gather. The DOJ role is where everyone should be paying attention; and by DOJ we mean DOJ and FBI. WATCH Schiff first:

Instead of focusing on the obvious, look around. It is not coincidental the people behind Biden and Lawfare are funneling information into the Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland DOJ to use against their political opposition. The DOJ/FBI targeting school board protests; the DOJ/FBI targeting James O’Keefe; the DOJ/FBI rounding up J6 attendees etc are the visible tip of the iceberg.
The iceberg itself is built upon the aligned political system, the White House included, feeding the DOJ/FBI targeting information. In/around the spring of 2022, right about the time when the primary challenges to establish the field of contenders for the mid term election are happening, that is when we will see OUTCOMES from the DC system building that below surface iceberg right now.
[NEW YORK – Nov. 23, 2021] Project Veritas released a new video today refuting The New York Times’ legally flawed claim that the New York State Supreme Court acted in an “unconstitutional” way when it ruled that The Times must temporarily stop publishing Veritas’ attorney-client privileged communications with the attorneys representing Veritas in the defamation case, and further ordered The Times to explain the reasoning behind why they did so in an article earlier this month.
Veritas is currently suing The Times for defamation after they libelously labeled a September 2020 video exposing ballot harvesting in Minnesota as “deceptive.” The lawsuit was filed over a year ago. (read more)
Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber as he was being attacked by a raging mob in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse also fired on Gaige Grosskreutz as the attacker held a handgun toward him. Prosecutors and U.S. corporate media attempted to claim that Rittenhouse was a racist vigilante looking for a fight; however, the defense, and all video of the events, show all shootings were justifiable self-defense.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has an exclusive interview with Kyle Rittenhouse after a jury acquittal. WATCH:
The self-proclaimed black supremacist, who used his vehicle as a weapon to kill five people and injure 40 more, has his first court appearance scheduled for 2:00pm CT tomorrow (Tuesday November 23, 2021) [Details Here].
Suspect Darrell E. Brooks will have his preliminary hearing under the careful control of the U.S. Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) who oversee all U.S. criminal cases when race is identified as the underlying motive for an attack.
Due to the high visibility of the case; and specifically because the DOJ-CRS are the primary stakeholder in the judicial proceedings {Go Deep}; the Community Relations Service has provided a court order instructing the Waukesha judiciary how they must engage/control media access. [Media Instructions Here] The CRS provides the template and Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow signs the order.
The primary concern for the CRS, aka ‘federal peacekeepers‘ is control over the national media narrative. The techniques behind the court order are familiar:
Long term CTH readers have familiarity with how the peacekeepers work to tamp down issues and control criminal cases that are adverse to the interests of the federal government.
Ironically, and purposefully, the claimed need for national racial cohesiveness is the statutory justification for federal control. Ironic, because the DOJ-CRS support the use of race for political benefit, then the CRS claims to protect national unity against the outcome from using race for political benefit. The propaganda is thick. I digress…
FOX6 did a great outline of the prior criminal record of Mr. Darrell Edward Brooks in one of their broadcasts. WATCH:
The people who control the current White House occupant have released a statement [SEE HERE] setting the stage for the federal government to trigger a DOJ investigation of Kyle Rittenhouse. The Obama crew is leaning forward to trigger AG Merrick Garland by expressing that Joe Biden is “feeling angry and concerned“.
As the ideology is expressed, Rittenhouse should be investigated because he violated the civil rights of the “protestors” in Kenosha, Wisconsin, when he interfered with their constitutional right to free speech. That’s why they call riots, protests. All violence the leftists support is ‘speech’, and all speech the leftists do not support is labeled violence.
The recent precedent for this approach was established by the same White House team when Obama instructed former AG Eric Holder to investigate George Zimmerman in Orlando after his jury verdict of not guilty. The FBI launched a year-long investigation of George Zimmerman *after* the verdict. Again in Ferguson, Missouri, Obama instructed Holder to target police officer Darren Wilson in the aftermath of the Mike Brown shooting, and the decision not to press charges. The FBI launched an immediate investigation.
The New York judge, Charles D. Wood, in the case of Project Veritas -vs- New York Times, has ordered the newspaper to explain how they obtained access to the legal correspondence between James O’Keefe and his attorneys. [Source Harmeet Dhillon]
The FBI raided James O’Keefe’s apartment, seized his cell phone and other devices, and then days later the New York Times was publishing privileged legal information which appears to have been obtained from FBI leaks. The judge in the case is ordering the New York Times to defend its position before he grants the requests of O’Keefe’s legal team.
The Biden Department of Labor cannot win in court over their use of OSHA to force mandated vaccines. The effort to use an OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) did not and will not survive judicial scrutiny.
The exemptions alone nullify the claims the ETS is built upon, and the courts are recognizing the brutally obvious political nature of the vaccine mandate effort.
As a result of the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans, LA) order to stay the vaccine requirement {See Here}, OSHA has now announced {SEE HERE} they will not attempt to enforce the rule:
Dept of Labor – “On November 12, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay OSHA’s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, published on November 5, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 61402) (“ETS”). The court ordered that OSHA “take no steps to implement or enforce” the ETS “until further court order.” While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.” (link)
While the 5th circuit case from Louisiana was the first, there are 11 total circuit court cases holding the same challenges. As a result, the cases were consolidated and assigned to one circuit court chosen randomly via lottery.
The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio, won the lottery to hear the legal challenges. “The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, is known to lean conservative, with most of its judges appointed by Republican presidents.” The 6th Circuit will have to decide whether or not to lift or maintain the stay instituted by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans.

We begin any outline of the Durham investigation with the following disclaimer: How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is possible about the deep state Trump targeting operation, and simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up.
Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff, and former Senior Staff Advisor to the House Intelligence Committee, discusses the recent public developments within the John Durham investigation, and gives his opinion on possible targets who were operating inside government.
Patel holds the opinion that Joe Biden’s current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is a likely target. Patel also says he could see three former FBI officials as targets of the Durham probe: (1) former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; (2) former FBI Special Agent in the Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok; and (3) former DOJ legal counsel to Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page.
Patel frames his opinion that Andrew McCabe would be targeted from the perspective that McCabe likely told FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith to change the wording of an email in order to support the Carter Page FISA application renewal. Clinesmith plead guilty and was sentenced to six months probation; however, in the court filings and affidavits, Clinesmith said under oath he acted alone – so I’m not sure why Patel is confident about Andrew McCabe being at risk from Clinesmith. WATCH:

Everyone is rightly frustrated by the lack of legal accountability upon the primary government officials and politicians who participated in the political use of their agencies to target Donald Trump. However, it is important to keep in mind the biggest network who participated in Spygate from inside government was the Robert Mueller Special Counsel team.
It is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to have an optimistic outlook toward accountability until someone -anyone- can reconcile how John Durham can target former government officials and yet avoid the scale of the Special Counsel efforts that were deployed to cover it up. The 2016 DOJ/FBI Crossfire Hurricane operation to the 2017 DOJ/FBI Special Counsel is one long continuum of the same exact corrupt investigation; done for the exact same corrupt intents; and carried out by the same people.
There is no way John Durham is going to touch the Special Counsel investigation of Robert Mueller; and until someone can provide a reasonable discussion of how Durham can deal with the Robert Mueller investigation and yet target former government officials -who were protected by Mueller- everything regarding future indictments of bigger fish is essentially hope porn.
