Traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday may become even more chaotic this year, as about 40 percent of TSA workers face potential termination for refusing to get the coronavirus vaccine. Approximately 24,000 employees, including some airport screeners, have until November 22—the Monday before Thanksgiving—to get the shot or risk being fired under President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for all federal workers.(Snip)Anyone without at least one shot could face disciplinary action as early as November 9, the Office of Personnel Management announced October 1, noting that failure to comply with the federal mandate is an act of misconduct. The office recommended agencies begin to pursue 'progressive discipline'

Stand strong, people! At some point, does the right of a person to have ownership over the integrity of his or her body supersede big pharma's twisted lust for money, and the federal government's need to control every aspect of our lives?

The administration is begging for a general strike...not just the transport industry. Shut the country down for a week. Nothing bought, sold, or moved as we go into Christmas sales season. It's time to end this charade and for the producers and workers to assert themselves. Shut it down! The week of Thanksgiving would be perfect.

Not being snarky, but could that 40% of TSA agents be black? The lowest rate of vaxed people. GOOD for them!

The TSA can slow things down to a snail's pace if they are not happy. Everyone gets a patdown. Scanning machines mysteriously go offline. Crippled nuns need a body cavity search for explosives, etc... The day before Thanksgiving will probably look like the Afghanistan airport.

Pilots are needed to fly the planes. TSA needs to screen the passengers - who need to produce a photo ID. What could go wrong for the airline industry?

Does the industry people understand that this is about destroying their business and the travel industry? It all points to controlling people's movement and our lives. Leftists might not be good at building things, but they're expert at tearing stuff up. They're too stupid to be in charge, but they want to run everything. They're so unlike God, but they want to be God.

We are being scammed on these numbers. All of these industries and government agencies that are reporting 40-50% of their workers are not vaxxed, but Fauxci and crew keep saying 70% of the population are vaxxed, 400 million doses, etc. etc. I think the vax numbers are FAR lower than we are being told.

It won't really matter if the TSA is short staffed and slow because a lot of the flights will be cancelled due to no pilots or flight crew. The airport personnel will also be gone. A lot of the good Thanksgiving food will also be in short supply. You could drive instead, but the cost of gas will make it cost as much as flying. All of this because Biden and Democrats want to control you. SUBMIIT!

The TSA is going to go slower? Who would notice? Forget flying. It is not worth the indignity. Instead, drive. You can take your guns, meet local people, see the sights, buy souvenirs, and take the Mrs to a no-tell motel every night. Its far more pleasant than being shoe horned into a cattle car with a diaper over your face, and being overcharged for it.

The best thing that could happen is that TSA loses all its employees and has to disband, leaving us alone. They have been useless in providing security to the U.S.A. Are they screening illegal aliens on the Southern border? Probably lots of terrorists and drug cartel members coming in, and they don't do a thing.

Counter terrorism officers are tonight leading the investigation into the murder of Tory MP Sir David Amess, as forces across the country are being urged to launch an 'immediate review' of security for politicians.

Woke Walmart has trained more than 1,000 employees in critical race theory, denouncing the US as a “white-supremacy system”—and telling staffers to accept their “guilt and shame” and stop thinking “white is right,” according to leaked documents. The retail giant confirmed to City Journal that it has been working with the Racial Equity Institute, a North Carolina company devoted to “creating racially equitable organizations.” Walmart said it has “engaged REI for a number of training sessions since 2018” and has “found these sessions to be thought-provoking and constructive.” City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said a whistleblower gave him a cache

At least 37 people were killed and over 70 wounded when explosions tore through a Shiite mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar during Friday prayers—the second attack in a week that left worshipers from the minority sect dead, according to reports. A local reporter told Reuters that eyewitnesses had described three suicide attackers, one of whom blew himself up at the entrance to the mosque while the two others set off their devices inside the building. “The situation is very bad. Mirwais hospital is messaging and calling on young people to give blood,” the reporter told the outlet, referring to where the dead and wounded had been rushed.

Ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe wins

Washington–Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has won back his full pension as part of a settlement of his lawsuit arising from his firing during the Trump administration more than three years ago, his lawyers announced Thursday. McCabe, a frequent target of then-President Donald Trump’s ire, was fired in March 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the Justice Department’s inspector general determined he had misled internal investigators about his involvement in a news media leak. The termination came hours before he was to have retired, denying him his pension. McCabe has denied intentionally deceiving anyone, was never criminally charged and blasted his firing as politically motivated.

The top chaplain of the Archdiocese for the Military Services has declared that Catholic troops may refuse to be vaccinated on the grounds of conscientious objection, reversing his previous position. Archbishop Timothy Broglio said this week in a statement that although he initially supported the Biden administration’s Aug. 24 vaccine mandate for all troops, he changed his position when “some service members” asked for religious exemptions. “This circumstance raises the question of whether the vaccine’s moral permissibility precludes an individual from forming a sincerely held religious belief that receiving the vaccine would violate his conscience. It does not,” the archbishop said in his statement, released Tuesday.

The U.S. Navy has set up an organization to process the discharges of sailors who refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine and don’t have a pending or approved exemption request on the books. On Thursday, Navy officials announced the creation of the COVID Consolidated Disposition Authority to oversee the administrative discharge process for sailors who meet the definition of “refusing the vaccine.” The Pentagon has not indicated how many Navy or other military personnel are known to be actively refusing the vaccine. While recent media reports have claimed more than 200,000 military personnel are yet to be fully vaccinated, the number refusing for political or other reasons is not clear.

Boeing is dealing with an alarming new defect on its problem-plagued 787 Dreamliner, which involves certain titanium parts that are weaker than they should be, according to a new report. The defect is on 787s built over the past three years, and is among the Dreamliner issues that has led to $25 billion in jet inventory piling up on Boeing's hands, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. In a statement to DailyMail.com, a Boeing spokesman confirmed that the company had received a notice from a supplier about 'certain 787 parts that were improperly manufactured.'

The Homeland Security Department is circulating a draft proposal that would severely curtail its attempts to strip citizenship from people who were naturalized based on fraud. The Washington Times saw a draft of the memo, from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the heads of the three immigration agencies. The memo says people might not apply for citizenship because they worry about losing it in the future. “Naturalized citizens deserve finality and security in their rights as citizens,” the memo says. “Department policies should not cause a chilling effect or barriers for lawful permanent residents seeking to naturalize.” Denaturalization is a part of federal law.

According to a report in The Athletic, the Brooklyn Nets star won’t abide by the NBA’s vaccine mandate to protest employer mandates to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk being fired. Citing “multiple sources with direct knowledge of Irving’s decision,” the Athletic reported that the star point guard has explained himself to close teammates and said he is not against vaccination per se. “To him, this is about a grander fight than the one on the court and Irving is challenging a perceived control of society and people’s livelihood,” the Athletic wrote.

More broadly, as the leader of the Republican Party, he’s ensuring that his self-inflicted wounds damage not only his own (presumed) electoral chances but those of other Republicans as well. Clearly, Trump has yet to get over the fact that he is not the one currently sitting in the White House following the 2020 election. It’s true that millions of Americans wish he were currently the president, enacting policies to make America great. But as they say, if wishes were horses, then

So, who better for Team Biden to nominate as secretary of the Department of Transportation, which employs more than 58,000 employees – more than half the population of South Bend – and has a budget of $87 billion?

"Research obtained by a group of scientists shows the COVID vaccine spike protein can travel from the injection site and accumulate in organs and tissues including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands and in 'quite high concentrations' in the ovaries." This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now,” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario.
