GOP to force vaccine mandate vote and
put squeeze on centrist Democrats

Original Article

Posted By: Come And Take It, 11/5/2021 2:04:41 PM

With the Biden administration facing a growing wave of lawsuits to stop the president’s vaccine mandate on companies, an Indiana businessman-turned-senator believes he has the quickest way to kill it. Sen. Mike Braun, backed by most GOP senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is hopeful of nixing the mandate through the arcane but effective Congressional Review Act. It would force a vote in both Houses just before Christmas and when 93,000 firms could be firing unvaccinated workers.

Comments:

Name them and shame them. Let it be placed on the record once and for all who supports firing workers over refusing the clot shot.

As a Hoosier I didn’t think much of Braun when he ran. He said all the right things but most of them do during election season. Nice to see him stepping up.

Stop this vicious, destructive mandate. It has no legal validity, and yet, the TRUE meaning of Fascism is happenng.....private companies carrying out government mandates. THAT is what Fascism actually means, and it doesn't have anything to do with a little German with a mustache, but with an bald Italian thug.

For those so inclined, watch this Ben Shapiro Youtube posted last night. The Daily Wire is suing OSHA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Nm4MwlARM Congressional Review Acts are insufficient: we need an expedited ruling from SCOTUS that the Feds have NO authority for this. It is NOT a law, just another edict from the ideological idiots in fed agencies that do not have the authority of law.

#5, and as the pending state of FL lawsuit is stating - the constitution grants no general police power to the feddies. Nor does it give them the authority to set workplace rules, or anything similar. And no, the commerce clause wasn't put in for that purpose. It's been stretched so far out of shape the thing has busted into a billion pieces.

There is no mandate…unless you do Federal Government contracts! If you do then the Federal Government will force the “mandate” on your employer! Wife works in HR for a Fortune 100! They are really scrambling because they don’t know how many people are involved! Now she has to produce her vaccine card in email format! Wow!

There are no centrist Democrats. They only try to appear to be centrists immediately before the election. Just like many Republicans.

More Republican kabuki. Too bad they don’t do a thing about stolen elections, do nothing about American Political prisoners, do nothing about protecting the border, allow the Dems to spend what they want, as long as they get their piece, and in general, rollover for whatever the Dems want, while not doing squat for their constituents.

Key vote Sen. Joe Manchin came out against a proposal within President Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda to fund an additional $4,500 tax credit for those who buy a union-built, made-in-America electric vehicle. The West Virginia Democrat, who has been almost single-handedly responsible for cutting down the package's overall target price to $1.85 trillion, called the measure "wrong" Thursday and indicated he's working to get it removed.

The White House on Wednesday was forced to contend with a new report showing a jump in inflation on a range of consumer goods used by ordinary Americans – while Sen. Joe Manchin warned inflation was 'getting worse' at a time when President Joe Biden needs his vote on a key social spending bill. Biden said in a statement Wednesday morning that 'inflation hurts' as he blamed a sharp increase in October compared to last year on an increase in the cost of energy.

America’s employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding a solid 531,000 jobs, the most since July and a sign that the recovery from the pandemic recession is overcoming a virus-induced slowdown. Friday’s report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate fell to 4.6% last month from 4.8% in September. That is a comparatively low level though still well above the pre-pandemic jobless rate of 3.5%. And the job gains in August and September weren’t as weak as initially reported: The government increased its estimate of hiring for those two months by a hefty combined 235,000 jobs.  CORRECTION*

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed off the notion of encouraging more domestic oil production to blunt high gasoline prices and said matters are exclusively in OPEC's hands. "That is hilarious," Granholm responded while laughing to Bloomberg Surveillance host Tom Keene's question about the "Granholm plan" to increase oil production in America. "Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm said. "As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC."

The Democrats’ $1.75 trillion social spending bill would massively increase fines imposed on employers for occupational hazards. President Biden’s vaccine mandate will be enforced through such penalties. Businesses with over 100 employees must ensure by Jan. 4 that their workers are either fully vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing, according to the mandate, which was finalized Thursday. Fines, enforced through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), could be as high as $14,000 per violation.

Following an impromptu inspection of the D.C. jail, a federal judge has ordered the release of January 6 defendant, Christopher Worrell, over the mistreatment of detainees. The surprise inspection of the jail by U.S. Marshals took place last month, but the report from the inspection was not made public until Wednesday. Due to the findings, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said he has “‘zero confidence that the D.C. jail’ will provide the treatment correctly and not retaliate against Worrell,” who has cancer, CNN reported Wednesday.

What's up with Kamala Harris on her five-day official visit to France representing the United States of America? Seems she's up to this: Truly, what is wrong w this woman?! She’s mocking them as though her prep for this trip involved watching Pepe LePew cartoons. Kamala using a fake French accent to talk to French people. (snip) Which is pretty juvenile. Going to a foreign country and mocking the locals in their own accent is no way to make friends or project U.S. influence abroad. In fact, it's not something anyone with any manners at all would do, let alone jet into someone's country to do.

A Black Lives Matter leader vowed there’ll be “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle New York’s surge in violent crimes. New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome debated the plan for a return to tougher policing with Adams during a contentious sit-down at Brooklyn Borough Hall Wednesday that was livestreamed on Instagram. Although Adams found common ground with the activists on plans to fight poverty in the black community, the former NYPD captain said he’ll be reinstating a revamped version of the undercover anti-crime unit that was disbanded at the height of widespread police protests last year.

As Vermont reports higher than ever COVID-19 case rates, state health officials have been trying to understand why. How can a state that did so well during the first part of the pandemic — even garnering national recognition — be doing so much worse now? "There is not one simple answer," said Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine during a news conference Tuesday. "But, there are clearly factors that have come together to create the situation that we're in now." Slowing the spread is critical right now to prevent Vermont's hospitals from being overwhelmed with people sick with the virus, Levine said.
