Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivered a statement about the future of Florida today while visiting Cape Coral on the Southwest coast.  During his remarks, the governor highlighted his support for parent’s rights, taking the position that parents should be the ones making decisions for their children on masks, schools and vaccines, not government.

Governor DeSantis promised Florida residents there will be no lockdowns, no mandates, no restrictions and no school closures.  Additionally, the governor urged all local communities to follow common sense science and said he will soon issue an order allowing parents or guardians to choose whether their child wears a mask in schools.

“As of today, very few [school districts] are requiring it. Nevertheless, we have a lot of push from the CDC and others to make every single person, kids and staff have to wear masks all day,” DeSantis said during the event. “That would be a huge mistake.”  WATCH:

The Florida Education Association (FEA), the largest teacher union in the state, said they will fight the Florida governor on all measures.  The teachers union is considering not going back to work with in-person teaching, and has vowed not to give up control of the (k-12) children to the parents. “Governor DeSantis continues to think that Tallahassee knows best what all Floridians need,” FEA President Andrew Spar said in a statement.  “We reject that kind of thinking” Spar continued.

“Instead, we ask Governor DeSantis to allow all Florida’s citizens to have a voice by empowering the elected leaders of cities, counties and school districts to make health and safety decisions locally based on their unique needs and circumstances,” Spar said.  Emphasizing how the union feels they have more power in the blue and leftist urban area, and they have vowed to fight any conservative effort in the state to undermine the teachers financial interests and control over Florida students.

As the nation is distracted by various COVID-centered discussion and media debate amid headlines of forced vaccinations, mask mandates and various other COVID compliance fiats, there is something rather troubling happening in congress.

Earlier today, the UniParty Senate (Democrats and Republicans) voted to approve cloture on HR-3684 the Senate version of the House infrastructure bill.  The cloture vote now means the bill will be debated and opens the Senate floor for amendments to the bill.  However, this cloture vote is odd….

…. BECAUSE THE D**NED SENATE BILL ISN’T EVEN WRITTEN YET!

That’s right.  The U.S. Senate just voted to invoke cloture and begin debate on a bill that has not even been written.  This is how dysfunctional the legislative branch has become.  Not a single senator has seen the text of the bill they just voted to start debating.

The UniParty exists in both chambers of the legislative branch, but the UniParty in the Senate is absurd in the extreme.  How can a senator approve moving forward to debate the merits of a bill that has not even been written?

This is where the manipulative Senate scheme called reconciliation is surfacing again, circa ObamaCare origin 2010.  Reconciliation is supposed to be a  final process where a budgetary spending bill from the House and a spending bill from the Senate are reconciled.  However, just like the ObamaCare fiasco the Senate is using reconciliation to actually create a bill from the beginning, AND you are not going to like what they are about to put in it.

Either Nancy Pelosi has magic and mysterious political power to control the coronavirus, or the mandated mask nonsense is really about raw political power and manipulative control over the American people.  You decide.

Nancy Pelosi showcases how her mask mandate is really nothing more than political theater.  Watch what happens during a ceremonial swearing-in for Congressman-elect Jake Ellzey on 7/30/2021… WATCH:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The White House would never credit Donald Trump with the vaccine rollout unless there was something negative about the vaccine that is going to hit the newswires; that is a no-brainer.

That baseline is why CTH said two months ago to watch for the moment when the White House credits Trump with the vaccine, because that’s the moment when: (1) the vaccine was going to be identified as dangerous; and/or (2) reports would show the vaccine did not work.

Today the White House credited President Trump with the vaccine:

….And right on cue, the late-evening reporting indicates that tomorrow the CDC will announce the vaccine doesn’t work (against the Delta variant).   Hence, the need for masks, social distancing and/or possibly lockdowns 2.0.   Reminder, when the Intelligence Branch needs to get the public relations engaged, they use the New York Times.

[New York Times] – […] New research showed that vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant carry tremendous amounts of the virus in the nose and throat, she said in an email responding to questions from The New York Times.

The finding contradicts what scientists had observed in vaccinated people infected with previous versions of the virus, who mostly seemed incapable of infecting others.

That conclusion dealt Americans a heavy blow: People with so-called breakthrough infections — cases that occur despite full vaccination — of the Delta variant may be just as contagious as unvaccinated people, even if they have no symptoms. (link)

Bottom line of this narrative shift… vaccinations don’t work. Everything goes back to square one. Blame Trump, not us.

Earlier today, the installed occupant of the White House announced that all federal workers will be required to undergo vaccinations against COVID-19 or subject themselves to weekly tests to prove their health status.  Going a step further, the administration announced all private contractors for the federal government will be held to the same standard as federal employees. [Video Link]

“Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status.  Anyone who does not attest, or is not vaccinated, will be required to mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance, and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.

Likewise, today, I am directing my administration to take steps to apply similar standards to all federal contractors. If you want to do business with the federal government get your workers vaccinated.”

Joe Biden was visibly unsettled -straining to keep his focus in place- as he read from the carefully prepared script on the teleprompter.  During the questioning following the prepared comments Biden said, “If in fact you are unvaccinated, you present a problem to yourself, to your family and to those with whom you work”.  These comments highlight his intent to apply as much federal pressure as possible to force vaccinations.

When asked about why not just federally mandate forced vaccinations of Americans, Joe Biden said the DOJ was still looking into the legality of whether or not that is possible.  When asked about the federal government requiring proof of vaccination, Biden said he anticipates more businesses requiring vaccinations, and proof of vaccination.

They are not using armbands, yet; however, one school district in Galesburg, Illinois, is issuing color-coded identification to visibly label vaccinated and non-vaccinated school district employees.   This is how the process of stigmatization is begun; be aware of what is coming.

According to sources in Illinois School District 205 (Galesburg, IL), School Superintendent John Asplund sent the notification (screenshot below) to school staff members announcing a new staff ID badge policy. [Galesburg CUSD #205 LINK]

School staff now have the option to change from the customary white ID badge to a yellow ID badge to indicate that they have received the COVID-19 vaccine.  This policy is currently only limited to school staff and does not apply to students.  However, it can be anticipated the school may begin to visibly identify non-vaccinated students.

This is a slippery slope where peer pressure and stigmatization become a serious issue.  How long will this remain voluntary?  This creates a dynamic of virtue-signalling peer pressure on school staff to publicly display their private health information.   As noted by one of the affected recipients of the notification, “This policy will prompt a lot of bullying, ostracism, and cliquish behavior.”

John Spiropoulos continues supporting parents as they fight against Critical Race Theory lesson plans and mandated masks in schools.

In this video report, John helps share the message of one “veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Kevin McGowen.”  As noted in the interview by Spiropolous, Mr. McGowen, “Never thought he’d have to later fight for his children to go to school mask-free. He never even considered that he’d have to battle against a Marxist ideology being taught in U.S. schools. But he’s joined the fight.” WATCH:
