It's OK to Be Pro-Vaccine and Anti-Mandate—in
Fact, It's a Winning Message
Posted By: mc squared, 9/16/2021 9:26:11 AM
President Joe Biden hoped his authoritarian vaccine mandate would take the heat off his administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. While his political calculation was not a complete success, it certainly reminded Americans about some fundamental ideological divides. A sentiment Biden expressed during his speech announcing the mandates crystalized these differences. This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you. The people you work with. The people you care about. The people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans.

A UCLA professor who was briefly suspended after declining a request that Black students get easier final exams after George Floyd’s death sued the school Wednesday, accusing it of defamation and loss of financial opportunities. Gordon Klein, a lecturer at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management who has taught there for decades, filed the lawsuit in state court against the school’s dean, Antonio Bernardo, the University of California Board of Regents, and a host of unnamed “co-conspirators.”
“I did this because the school has continued to retaliate against me, and other scholars are facing retaliation, and I thought it was important for someone to

catch-and-release policy, alleging violation
of federal law 9 replies
The state of Florida is suing the Biden administration over its "illegal" catch-and-release policies at the Southern Border, saying they cause harm to the state's "quasi-sovereign interests," while claiming officials are either in violation of federal immigration law, or simply abusing their authority. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed the suit against the administration Tuesday, as part of a joint effort with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to "uphold the rule of law despite the Biden administration's decision to violate the law." The suit was filed in the Pensacola Division of the Northern District of Florida. Moody is not seeking a preliminary injunction.
Thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris’s latest hiring decision, yet another member of the Psaki family now works within the Biden administration. The Washington Post reported Friday that of the two individuals recently hired by Harris as senior advisers, one of them, Adam Frankel, has familial ties to White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “Frankel is married to Stephanie Psaki, a senior adviser at the Department of Health and Human Services and the sister of White House press secretary Jen Psaki,” according to the Post. You read that correctly. Frankel’s own wife works within the administration. And she herself is the sister of the press secretary.
I Finally Bought My First Gun

A little over a week ago, I wrote about my decision to finally start exercising my Second Amendment right to bear arms. In the piece, I discussed some of the reasons why I chose to take this step and outlined parts of the journey that led me to this place. I am now proud to say I am a gun owner. In a live stream on my show, “A Fresh Perspective with Jeff Charles,” I discussed the process I went through to choose the firearm I would purchase as my first gun. It was a fun journey filled with copious levels of research and
We’ve been told a lot of lies and nonsense about the Afghanistan debacle by Joe Biden and his administration. Now some of those lies are coming back to bite us.
One of the lies was about how all the evacuees were thoroughly vetted before they came to the United States. “Before anyone who is evacuated from Afghanistan comes to this country, they undergo a rigorous vet,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters.
We already found out how wrong that was with the first 30,000 evacuees brought to this country. About 10,000 needed “additional screening.” If they were “thoroughly vetted,” why would they need additional screening on such a massive

Lou: Why?
Bud: To protect me.
Lou: I thought you were vaccinated.
Bud: I am.
Lou: And the vaccination protects you?
Bud: It does.
Lou: So, I don’t need to get vaccinated to protect you because you’re already protected from the virus by the vaccination you already got.
The Vatican City State announced Monday that effective October 1 no one can enter its territory without presenting a coronavirus Green Pass, by order of Pope Francis. The Green Pass can be obtained by showing proof of vaccination against the coronavirus, demonstrating recovery from the coronavirus, or by showing a negative rapid antigen or PCR test, the Vatican ordinance states. The decree also declares that the Green Pass mandate extends to the Vatican’s extraterritorial properties stipulated by the 1929 Lateran Treaty, which include Vatican-owned churches throughout Italy. The pope himself instructed the Governorate of Vatican City State to issue the mandate in order “to prevent, control, and combat

Mystery solved on who’s behind
billboards blasting Biden 6 replies
An ex-GOP legislator is spending $15,000 to inform motorists traveling on Pennsylvania roads that President Joe Biden is “making the Taliban great again.” Scott Wagner, a former state senator and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate in the Keystone State, is renting about 15 billboards with that message over the next two months that also depicts a smiling Biden in Taliban garb holding a rocket launcher. The first one apparently popped up along Interstate 83 in Pennsylvania’s York County. Wagner has described the botched U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, which led to the Taliban rapidly taking over after the country’s government and security forces practically
Voters in Minneapolis, the city where George Floyd died in police custody, sparking months of destructive protests, will now be able to vote in the upcoming municipal elections on abolishing the police department, the Minnesota Supreme Court said in a reversal of a lower court ruling. The decision concluded: The decision of the district court filed on September 14, 2021, granting the petition of respondents’ Don Samuels et al., to correct the ballot, requiring local election officials to provide notice instructing voters not to vote on the ballot question, and enjoining local election officials from tallying, counting or in any way considering votes cast on the ballot question, is reversed.
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s first move after he beat the recall effort in California was to sign legislation allowing lots to be subdivided which would effectively eliminate suburbs. The legislation was obviously frowned upon by suburban voters. As The New York Times reported, lawmakers were worried about “angering suburban voters, whose preferences for single-family home living have been regarded as politically sacrosanct.” SB 9 “was furiously opposed by homeowners and local government groups who said it ‘crushes single-family zoning’ and would be ‘the beginning of the end of homeownership in California,'” the Times said. In a statement, Newsom’s office announced that President Joe Biden
PARCHMENT, Mich. — Parchment High School Principal George Stamas sent a letter about a homecoming school activity that has caused controversy Tuesday. The high school is holding theme days for their homecoming week. Tuesday was a USA theme. The letter stated that some students “chose to express their political affiliations.” “We are sincerely remorseful if a day that was meant for unification turned into division for some,” Stamas wrote. “We will not tolerate actions that choose to belittle, demean, threaten or put down others.” Stamas said the school administration addressed students about the issue on Wednesday morning. While it is unclear from the letter what the issue

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that Republican voters knew former President Donald Trump was a “big, fat liar” but still supported him.Wallace said, “Matthew, as a strategist with whom I worked alongside, I understood this about voters, one they don’t like to be lied to. Two, they want to see government deliver. The current Republican Party breaks those rules. The Republicans lie to them all the time. It would seem Republicans knew Donald Trump was a big, fat liar. They stayed with him, of them are still with him.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has moved the goalposts on what it means to be “fully vaccinated,” and I’m sure you can guess how it has changed.
For many months now, being “fully vaccinated” meant that you had to have two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine, but now, according to Fauci, you’re not fully vaccinated unless you get the booster shot. “It is likely, for a real complete regimen, that you would need at least a third dose,” Fauci told The Atlantic in an exclusive interview.(Snip)“I’ve made it clear that my opinion has always been that I believe that a third-shot booster
Katie Couric spares few from criticism in her new memoir, which she uses to settle scores from her four decades in TV, DailyMail.com can reveal.Over 500 pages in length, Couric tears into ex-boyfriends, former colleagues at NBC and CBS and ridicules A-list celebrities including Prince Harry.In 'Going There', Couric admits that she gave Ashleigh Banfield the cold shoulder early in her career because helping her would have been 'self sabotage'.She rips into Deborah Norville, who she replaced on the TODAY Show, for having a 'relentless perfection' which turned off morning show viewers.
In an interview with “Good Morning America” on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama commented on the border crisis in Del Rio, Texas.
Obama stated that the crisis at the Del Rio border is “heartbreaking” and that the system, overall, “is dysfunctional.”
“It’s the reason I proposed comprehensive immigration reform. It’s the reason Joe Biden proposed it during his administration, and it’s something that is long overdue,” Obama stated, according to GMA.
The former president went on to say the situation at Del Rio is a reminder that more work needs to be done and that President Biden understands the situation better than anyone.
“As big-hearted as he is,
“So Trump was right.” Thus begins a broadside in the Sunday Times that amounts to a clarion call for the world: America’s president came to power in an election that was “rigged.”“The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit,” Rob Liddle writes. “Donald Trump is back in the lead in the opinion polls. Imagine how awful a president must be if people would rather that sack of meat with mittens were back in charge.”“Soon the public will wake up to something even more unpleasant and sinister: that the last presidential election was a fraud,
Rep. Liz Cheney leapt to the defense on Wednesday of Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for 'standing in the breach' in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and apologizing for attacks by her Republican colleagues. Milley was appearing before Congress for a second day to answer questions about the withdrawal from Afghanistan.He has become a hate figure for some Republicans amid reports he tried to rein in Donald Trump's worst impulses at the end of his presidency.
The View’s Joy Behar took over a segment that should’ve been criticizing President Biden on Wednesday, to instead attack moderate Democrats. The hosts were talking about the military top brass contradicting Biden’s claim that he had support for complete troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and his poor poll numbers. But not far into it, Behar steered the conversation away to instead complain that Democrats Joe Manchin [WV] and Kyrsten Sinema [AZ] were actually responsible for “destroying the country,” and Biden’s fledgling performance.Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin all stayed on-topic, unwilling to criticize Biden.
The Hill, which often serves as a mouthpiece for Democrat press releases, has written an article stating that “Democrats see Harris as a major player in midterms.” When it comes to Harris’s moribund reputation, Dems want us to think of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead but saving Harris is more like Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein and “Abby Normal’s brain.” Kamala’s lack of national viability made itself known during the Democrat primaries in 2019 when Harris dropped out without even breaking the 4% barrier in the polls and with zero delegates.
During his campaign for the Presidential Elections 2020 Joe Biden left some Twitter users queasy after a clip from the campaign trail showed him discussing children playing with his leg hair.
During the campaign speech, Biden, 77, described how children used to play with his blond leg hairs in the swimming pool while telling a story about his time working as a lifeguard.
Well, with that disgusting video we found out about Joe’s hairy legs but it seems that at least his hands appear to look less hairy back in January when he got his first vaccine shot.
Russian President Vladimir Putin chose this bombshell brunette linguist as his interpreter during his 2019 meeting with then-President Donald Trump.Daria Boyarskaya, 36, has been revealed as the stunning translator who accompanied Putin to the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.The beautiful Russian Foreign Ministry specialist linguist was captured in photos from the meeting, sitting beside Putin in a flattering navy dress, with her dark, wavy locks down to her shoulders, according to East2West News.
President Biden received his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot on Monday, after public health officials recommended boosters for many Americans, including those 65 and older. Mr. Biden, 78, got his third shot on camera, and delivered brief remarks before his jab.
The Food and Drug Administration granted an emergency use authorization last week for booster doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine six months after the completion of the two-dose course for those 65 and older, those with some underlying conditions and those who work in high-risk environments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommended a booster shot for these groups of people.
Democratic anger is growing with Krysten Sinema, blaming her as the sole reason for holding up Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion social agenda as the party demands to know what the Arizona Democratic senator wants in exchange for her support. 'The president keeps begging her, tell us what you want. Put a proposal forward,' progressive Rep. Ro Khanna told CNN, adding that neither moderates nor liberals can name her demands. All eyes are turning to the 45-year-old senator, known for wearing candy-colored wigs during the COVID pandemic because she couldn't get her hair dyed, competing in Ironmans and touting her personal
