The Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued the anticipated changes in their guidance for masks today modifying prior guidance for vaccinated persons [CDC Guidance Here].  Vaccinated and non-Vaccinated persons are now recommended to wear masks indoors.  Additionally, teachers, staff, students and visitors to school are all recommended to wear masks upon returning to school this fall regardless of vaccination status.

Additionally, the Biden administration is now considering a forced vaccination mandate for all federal employees.

(New York Times) – […] Mr. Biden said on Tuesday that a vaccine mandate for all federal workers is under consideration, but did not provide details. Administration officials said the idea being debated was similar to a plan announced by New York City, which would require any of the city’s 300,000 employees who refuse to be vaccinated to submit to weekly testing.

The White House is also requiring all media to wear masks again at the press briefings.  These shifts and cumulative changes in the politically inspired COVID mitigation effort all fall in line with our anticipated projection…

It’s all a strategic Alinsky move once you connect the dots.

Earlier today New York City Mayor De Blasio announced mandated vaccinations for all 340,000 city employees.

Hours later Joe Biden announced mandatory vaccinations for all 115,000 front-line employees of The Veterans Affairs department.

Immediately thereafter, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced all state employees and healthcare providers will be forced to vaccinate.  None of these events are disconnected.

Keep in mind just a few days ago the Federal CDC announced all U.S. healthcare providers must switch to new rapid response tests for COVID-19.  The reasoning?  The current PCR test does not differentiate between COVID and the flu.  The new tests will distinguish between the flu virus and the COVID virus.

Can you see the strategic move now?

The new CDC approved rapid response test will cull the flu cases from false positives; that approach will automatically drop the number of new COVID cases identified.  The Biden regime will then say the drop in new COVID cases is because of the forced vaccinations in major populations (VA, NYC and CA).  As a result, everyone must get vaccinated because the added vaccinations are lowering the COVID cases, and the statistics will prove it.

Additionally, to enhance the talking point of most new infections caused by non-vaccinated persons, the hospital guidance is not to test the vaccinated:

Can you see it now?

Biggest U.S. Trade Win in the History of all U.S. Trade Constructs !

I’m still going through the USMCA text (even speed reading, it will likely take a while); here’s the link to the AGREEMENT DETAILS.  However, many people have asked about how the NAFTA loophole was being closed.
Well, the answer is exactly what it had to be – there was really no option.  The U.S. now has veto authority over any trade deal made by Canada and/or Mexico with third parties.  This is what Ambassador Lighthizer described as the “Third pillar”.
Last year, despite the inevitability of it, we didn’t think Canada and Mexico would agree to it.  The NAFTA loophole was/is a zero-sum issue: Either Can/Mex agree to give veto authority to the U.S. –OR– President Trump had no option to exit NAFTA completely.
Well, Canada and Mexico have agreed to the former, so there’s no need for the latter.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump has signed an emergency spending bill that will pump more than $2 billion into a program that allows veterans to receive private medical care at government expense.
Trump, who made improving veterans care a central campaign promise, signed the VA Choice and Quality Employment Act while at his New Jersey golf club on Saturday.

Modernizing government might not sound sexy as a political agenda item, and definitely doesn’t carry the interest of MSM headlines, however it’s actually a key tenet to reducing the size, scope and expense of government.  The utilization of modern technology to downsize government is a policy initiative.

The Trump administration is quietly putting private sector operational efficiencies into place within the federal government, as Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross outlines:
