Kansas Democrat Governor Laura Kelly, who is up for re-election in 2022, released a statement on Saturday announcing that her state is rejecting Biden's vaccine order for private businesses that employ more than 100 people.(Snip)Kelly said states at this point in the pandemic have 'already developed systems' to fight coronavirus' effects on health and the economy, largely without the federal government's help.

White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed the administration is considering shutting down a Michigan oil pipeline, as President Biden finds himself caught between an environmental promise and looming gas price hikes. The administration is exploring the possibility of terminating the Line 5 pipeline—which links Superior, Wisconsin, with Sarnia, Ontario—and gathering data to determine if shutting down the line will cause a surge in fuel pricing. 'Yes, we are,' Jean-Pierre said, asked in a news briefing if the administration is 'studying' the impacts of a potential shutdown. 'The army corps of engineers is preparing an environmental impact to look through this,' she continued.
Homeland Security announced Monday that it will waive the usual immigration fees for Afghan evacuees who’ve been paroled into the country since the start of the airlift operation, leaving U.S. taxpayers to pick up the tab for their costs. The department said not having to worry about the fees will allow the Afghans to settle into their new lives more quickly. They’ll also get “streamlined” processing to apply for work permits and asylum, which would give them permanent status.(Snip)The usual fee for applying for a work permit is $410. The fee to apply to adjust status is usually $1,140. The fee to have biometric data taken is $85.
President Joe Biden congratulated Big Bird for receiving his COVID-19 vaccine after conservatives including Republican Sen. Ted Cruz called a tweet from the Sesame Street character 'propaganda ... for your five-year-old.' 'Good on ya, @BigBird,' Biden tweeted Sunday night. 'Getting vaccinated is the best way to keep your whole neighborhood safe.' The fictional bird, who, according to Sesame Street lore, is eternally 6-years-old, tweeted his vaccination status on Saturday, writing: 'I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it'll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.'(Snip)Big Bird issued the tweet days
NHS England's chief executive was today accused of 'abusing' Covid statistics after exaggerating the number of infected patients in hospital with the virus. During a round of interviews this morning, Amanda Pritchard suggested there were '14 times' more coronavirus patients in hospital now compared to 'this time last year'.
The claim was picked up and circulated by a number of mainstream, left-leaning news outlets including Sky News, ITV and The i.

Sen. Ted Cruz went to war with Big Bird on Twitter over the weekend, accusing the “Sesame Street” character of pushing “government propaganda” as part of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout for kids.
Mr. Cruz’s main target was the Biden administration as it teamed up with “Sesame Street” to promote the Pfizer-BioNTech shots for 5- to 11-year-olds. Big Bird, who is supposed to be 6 years old, tweeted that his wing was a bit sore after the shot, but he was grateful for the protective boost. “Government propaganda … for your 5 year old!” Mr. Cruz tweeted. The dustup kicked off the usual cycle of online debate
Los Angeles will expand their vaccine mandate requiring people show proof of vaccination to enter various types of businesses and venues later this month, enforcing one of the strictest mandates in the country. In October, the City of Los Angeles began to require patrons to be fully vaccinated to enter the indoor portions of food establishments, gyms, entertainment and recreational locations, personal care establishments, and certain outdoor events. Beginning Monday the city will launch SafePassLA, expanding the vaccine mandate to more businesses and indoor locations including museums and convention centers. SafePassLA will be enforced on November 29 to give required locations time to adjust.

Albany, N.Y.—As New York’s recreational marijuana laws continue to take shape, employers must get used to stowing their assumptions on when and if their employees choose to smoke. “For instance, marijuana the smell does linger, but that’s not probable cause anymore,” explains Christine Taylor, a partner at Towne Law Firm. “It was the knee-jerk reaction to be like, you obviously are using, I don’t want to employ you anymore, and that can absolutely kind of get you in trouble now.”(Snip)The latest update by the NYS Department of Labor outright prohibits employers from marijuana testing either when hiring or on suspicion an employee is impaired.
US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said Sunday that “nothing is off the table” when asked whether the Biden administration would try to expand its federal work-vaccine mandate to smaller firms. Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Murthy said the government’s mandate for companies with more than 100 staffers is “appropriate and necessary”—and suggested it might be widened, assuming it survives multiple court challenges. “Certainly nothing is off the table at this moment,” Murthy said.(Snip)Murthy was asked whether he thought the mandate could negatively impact businesses that are already struggling to find employees amid a national labor shortage. “I hear time and time again, from small businesses,

Russian social media disinformation campaigns and the increasingly hostile political battles they’ve fueled across America represent a “true constitutional threat” to the nation, contributing to COVID-19 vaccine skepticism and other serious issues in the military and beyond, a top Air Force general told The Washington Times this week.
In an exclusive interview, Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote, the Air Force‘s deputy chief of staff for strategy, integration and requirements, warned that the internal divisions on display in America could fundamentally weaken the country and chip away at American moral leadership around the world.

Democratic New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney says thousands of "recently found" ballots supports his refusal to concede to a Republican challenger who ran a low-budget campaign.
"The results from Tuesday’s election continue to come in, for instance there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county," Sweeney said in an email to the Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday. "While I am currently trailing in the race, we want to make sure every vote is counted. Our voters deserve that, and we will wait for the final results."
Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) is one of America’s largest corporations, with over 100,000 employees worldwide. It is putting a vaccine mandate into place for its more than 26,000 America-based employees, which will require them to get vaccinated, meet a “company-approved” exemption, or take weekly COVID tests. Those employees opposed to the vaccine mandate are pushing back. To that end, they released a powerful video warning, not P&G, but all Americans, what will happen if these employees lose their jobs.
It’s unlikely that you’ve navigated through life without ever purchasing a product from P&G.

A Canadian is thought to be the first person in the world diagnosed with a condition caused by climate change. Dr Kyle Merritt examined the senior citizen who suffered from asthma and faced breathing difficulties when they arrived at the emergency department in Nelson, British Colombia. Health workers said poor air quality and heatwaves were responsible for the patient’s symptoms, prompting Dr Merritt to make his first climate change clinical diagnosis. “It’s me trying to process what I’m seeing,” he told Glacier Media. “If we’re not looking at the underlying cause, and we’re just treating the symptoms, we’re just gonna

Residents of a San Francisco condo building where units sell for $1million say they’re living in fear after an adjoining alleyway became the city’s biggest homeless encampment. The massive tent city - occupied by a feces-hurling man and an assortment of other untoward characters - is paces away from The Artani, an eight-story Van Ness Avenue complex where residents say they’re being spooked by a growing number of vagrant neighbors.
Condo resident Amber Lusko said the encampment, exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, has drawn rats, thieves, and mentally unstable adults who are turning their neighborhood into a state of bedlam.

Poor countries, rocked by storms and flooding from climate change, have spent years trying to hold the big carbon-emitters accountable. While most rich nations have fiercely resisted this liability, attendees at COP26 will give it another try in Glasgow next week. The US is the $2 trillion elephant in the room. That figure is a rough estimate (most likely at the very low end) of how much the world’s largest economy could owe other nations if it accepted liability for the “loss and damage” caused by its historical emissions of carbon dioxide, according to Richard Tol, an economics professor at

We Must Blow Up The Conservative Legal Movement 31 replies
Less than a handful of years after their hard-won elevation to the Supreme Court, Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett are sending a chill down the spines of conservatives with a string of bad signals from their seats on the court.
In July, Kavanaugh and Barrett joined the court’s leftist majority in declining to hear Arlene’s Flowers v. Washington, a critical religious liberty case. They again sided with the court’s left in a similar decision to turn away a religious exemption challenge to Maine’s vaccine mandate — which Justices Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas took pains to note was staggering in its hypocrisy.
Following a series of contradictory statements around $450,000 taxpayer payoffs to illegals separated at the border, Joe Biden came out in a finger-pointing rage to let a reporter know that these lawbreakers "deserve compensation." According to the RealClearPolitics transcription:
"Let's get it straight. You said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000. The number I was referring to."
"Now here’s the thing," Biden said. "If, in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, you were coming across the border, whether it was legal or illegal, and you lost your child. You lost your child, [your child] is gone, you deserve some kind of compensation! No matter what the circumstances."
