workforce -- blacks, minorities hardest hit

Original Article

Joe Biden, not the brightest bulb in the box, has unwittingly declared war on his own political base. What else to make of his mandatory vaccine diktat for the federal workforce, which came out yesterday, demanding that 2.876 million federal workers be vaxxed for COVID, or else. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping new pandemic requirements aimed at boosting vaccination rates for millions of federal workers and contractors as he lamented the “American tragedy” of rising-yet-preventable deaths among the unvaccinated.

Does anyone know the percentage of blacks in the federal workforce? It has to be very high.

I was reminded of something when contemplating the forced vaccinations. I remember the fear back in the 80's regarding those with HIV/AIDS. Nobody was 100% sure how it spread, but it would sure kill you. But remember the movie "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks? His law firm fired him because they were afraid of him spreading it to them. But the message the movie tried to make was that it was wrong to fire him. Well, here we are with something far less deadly and the attitude sure has changed. Just goes to show libs will tell any lie to suit their purposes.

#1 read, the article. It tells you..."According to FedWeek, citing a 2016 study..." In my suburban Houston county, there is one area in particular that s avoiding vaccination. Yes, it is minority. Largely black, to be specific. The county has decided to invest $345,000 in Federal money to "better serve" this community that was overlooked...by our minority county government leadership, including a black public health director and black county council member. The excuse was that these people were "uninformed" as to the virus and where to be tested or vaccinated. In other words, their own failed The Community. While Republicans squawk about coercion, this is a made to order issue on which to campaign. Will they?

According to schmoe “you ain’t black” if you don’t do what you’re told. But as usual, there’s never any discussion about what’s good for people- beyond marketing/propaganda talking points; just who has the power and what are the political ramifications for the power possessors.

I'm not sure the Feds can pull that one off. It is difficult to fire a Fed, and refusal to take an experimental vaccine with unknown long-term effects doesn't sound like a valid reason, especially for those with acquired immunity from having had COVID. I may be wrong, but I'd expect that other Federal unions will join the Postal Workers in fighting this mandate.

Vaccine refusal among the Black population group is why everyplace you go in public you see a lot of Black people wearing masks. The reason for that is Democrats political propaganda aimed at that easily politically manipulated paranoid population group that started back during the last year of the Trump era, when Black people were warned by the Democrat operatives and politicians not to trust any vaccine supported by Trump, that might even contain some sort of “chip” that would allow the “White Supremacists” to gain control of the Black population of the USA.

Love how the Democrats keep pointing things out that most never even considered before. Take this current issue, they see a large percentage of their Federal workforce as refusing to take the vaccine "jab", and as per the article, people are learning how many Federal workers there are, and how many are from certain minority groups, in particular. If we have 330,000,000 million citizens in the United States, and there are 2,876,000 Federal workers, that comes out to 1 Federal worker for every 114.75 citizens. And that's just Federal workers, just imagine how many City, County and State workers there are too.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the government mandating (forcing) people to submit to medical experimentation a violation of the Geneva Conventions? You know, as in why they haven't been able to force members of the military to submit to such experimentation?

The Democrats are purging the right from the federal workforce, and will replace them with leftists. The Democrats are also dividing and conquering the right into those vaccinated, and those that are not. The strategy is working. You are the target.

Well #7, if the basic Constitutional rights of average public sector employees are okayed by our government to be force vaxxed, then it will be hard to say one special group does not have to. I doubt that will fly with freedom-loving Americans. The military have been forced forever to be government guinea pigs. This would be a good time to have all this decided in court. Unfortunately, with courts as they are today?

President Biden’s troubled son Hunter did not mince words in responding to critics of the stunning prices that his paintings have been fetching. On the “Nota Bene: This Week in the Art World” podcast, the issue came up when the host began “You seem to have good spirits around the crazed narrative around your paintings. How do you- what’s the response to the people who are coming after the prices of the work, the collectors, what is your response to that?” Biden responded to the favorably phrased question angrily, “Other than f***’em?” he shot back.

Is the Joe Biden administration serious about COVID? Doesn't look like it. Fox News, citing a local incident in La Joya, Texas, found that the Border Patrol is releasing COVID-infected illegals into Texas communities to spread the disease. That's a curious thing given that Biden drew headlines for supposedly keeping Title 42 in place, which would require the Border Patrol to instantly expel migrants based on COVID concerns. Based on this kind of news, the order is de facto rescinded whether Biden says so or not. In this Texas case, illegal migrants had been let in and then handed over to the NGO Catholic Charities in La Joya, Texas, which

According to the leftist "narrative," the migrant-child border surge and Biden administration's work to open the borders to "unaccompanied minors" entering the country illegally are just his being humanitarian and all: "The idea that I'm going to say, which I would never do, if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border we're going to let them starve to death and stay on the other side, no previous administration did that either, except Trump.

One of the most obvious misconceptions about liberals today is that they personify tolerance. The Oxford English Dictionary defines tolerance as "the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. A recent poll by the Survey Center on American Life at the American Enterprise Institute found that Democrats are twice as likely as Republicans to report ending a friendship over a political disagreement (20% versus 10%). Liberals are also "far more likely than conservatives are to say they are no longer friends with someone due to political differences" (28% versus 10%).
