Border Force cutter Vigilant docked at Dover Marina at around 3.30pm, where the arrivals disembarked. Women and children, including one mother wearing a red headscarf accompanied by three young boys, were escorted up the gangway for processing. Another boat carried at least 38 men to shore, with some wearing Adidas tracksuit jackets with jeans and carrying their possessions in a rucksack. One male migrant was seen wearing a trendy

President Biden had barely finished speaking to the nation about his crackdown on the unvaccinated before news broke that he was exempting a powerful union ally. The Washington Post reported Thursday night that his executive order forcing federal workers to take a COVID-19 vaccine does not include U.S. Postal Service workers. Citing “a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss not-yet-public portions of the president’s plan,” the Post reported that those workers merely would be strongly encouraged to follow the mandate. The Postal Service employs almost 650,000 people nationwide. Many are represented by the American Postal Workers Union, which has been critical

President Joe Biden tore into unruly passengers who have defied federal mask mandates during air travel–following a string of reports of confrontations between passengers and flight attendants.
'Show some respect!' he told rule-breakers in a speech from the White House. Biden delivered the admonishment as part of a speech where he repeatedly went after unvaccinated Americans who 'overcrowd our hospitals' and elected officials who 'undermine' public health guidelines.(Snip) The new range of penalties, which take effect Friday, September 10, 2021, will be $500-$1000 for first offenders. The amounts escalate to $1000-$3000 for second offenders, the Department of Homeland Security announced.

Vice President Kamala Harris criticized new abortion restrictions in Texas Thursday as an “abortion bounty law empowering vigilantes” and said Congress needs to “codify” the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion. Meeting at the White House with abortion rights advocates, Ms. Harris praised the Justice Department for filing a lawsuit to block the Texas law, which bars abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy and offers $10,000 for private parties to sue anyone who “aids or abets” an abortion.(Snip)“The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable,” the vice president said.

Sen. Marco Rubio sounded an alarm Thursday over reports the CIA is considering establishing a presence on TikTok, a social media platform with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Rubio, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee, called it a “Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled” app. In a letter to CIA Director William Burns, the Florida senator said the social media platform and other “Chinese-owned apps” pose a significant risk to national security and urged Mr. Burns to stay clear. Mr. Rubio’s concerns piqued following a report Wednesday by Politico about the CIA’s social media strategy to demystify the spy agency and recruit a more diverse workforce.

Unions that represent federal workers pushed back Thursday against President Biden‘s plan to require all federal employees and contractors to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The American Federation of Government Employees, which is part of the AFL-CIO and represents over 670,000 federal workers, said they encourage members to get vaccinated. However, they said COVID-19 vaccine requirements should be negotiated with the unions during collective bargaining, not mandated through an executive order. “Workers deserve a voice in their working conditions,” said the union’s national president Everett Kelly. “We expect to bargain over this change prior to implementation.” The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 employees across 31 agencies,

One key prong of President Biden's plan to bankroll Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget plan is to monitor every inflow and outflow of an individual's bank account. The proposal would require banks to report to the IRS every deposit and withdrawal from an account, including transactions from Venmo, PayPal, crypto exchanges and the like in an effort to fight tax evasion. The IRS would know how much money is in an individual's bank account in a given year, whether the individual earned income on that account and exactly how much was going in an and out.

The effects of drugs on "people who menstruate" are traditionally studied before a drug is released to market and before people are forced to take it, but Amid the Pandemic and Pfizer's money grab, "anything goes" is our watchword.
