U.S. Military Uses Religious Test Against
Service Members To Enforce Vaccine Mandate
Posted By: Harlowe, 1/3/2022 2:41:02 PM
Members of our military pledge their loyalty to the Constitution. Its First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion. So, it would be perverse to force men and women in uniform to abandon their deeply held religious beliefs to serve their country. Yet that’s what’s happening regarding the COVID-19 vaccine mandates--for which the normal rules seem not to apply.(Snip)But whatever your view, this is clearly an ethical and theological dispute. The military is denying requests for religious exemptions because ill-informed officials disagree with the theological views of service members under their command.

As we get closer to the two-year mark of “two weeks to flatten the curve,” it is evident that the panic-driven policies issued by “experts” and promoted by the establishment media have a wide array of very damaging, unintended consequences. One group that has been collateral damage in this “war on COVID” has been school-age children. Teachers demanded school lockdown and remote learning.(Snip)Inevitably, this pandemic will end. When the damage is assessed, those who pressed for the closure of schools (including those in the media) should face a very harsh set of consequences themselves.
ALBERTA, Canada – This time last year I wrote about how lockdowns enacted by government overlords should not get in the way of spending time with your family.(Snip)Lockdowns it seems always come before one of the holiest times of the year, that being Christmas and Easter.(Snip) Our faith leaders along with the Vatican itself have used the language that taking the abortion tainted COVID shots somehow amounts to loving one’s neighbour.(Snip)Jesus did not discriminate when he tended to the sick, the sinners, the outcast, the destitute. He was not afraid, and that is the example we all must follow.
Jordan gets it wrong on contempt vote

Jim Jordan doth protest too much.(Snip) Jordan is quite familiar with weaponizing congressional investigations to go after those he considers his enemies...(Snip)Jordan and most of his fellow Republicans seem desperate to keep under wraps what Trump and his allies were up to as democracy itself was under attack. That’s why they opposed even creating the Jan. 6 committee. That’s why they’re braying about executive privilege and painting Meadows as a victim of vengeful Democrats. That’s why they’re downplaying the severity of the attack, dismissing it as a tourist visit or “one day in January,” as former Vice President Mike Pence put it.
The “Select Committee” of Democrats and two “Republicans” to investigate the January 6 riot is an abuse of power but typical for how efficient Democrats are at weaponizing their congressional power. Mark Meadows, former Trump Chief of Staff, has been held in contempt by the Democrat-controlled House for failing to turnover all documents subpoeanaed by the Committee, sending a referral for prosecution.(Snip)The politically corrupted DOJ likely will oblige under the unfit rule of Merrick Garland.(Snip)
But it’s not just about overbreadth of the subpoena. Meadows challenges the validity of the committee as constituted by Pelosi.
COLUMBUS - Gov. Mike DeWine will have his veto pen ready if the legislature sends him a bill that would prohibit employers and schools from mandating the COVID-19 vaccine. House Bill 218, in addition to prohibiting mandates on vaccines not fully approved by the federal government, would provide wide exemptions for fully approved vaccines. The Republican, during a year-end interview with “The State of Ohio” public television show, said he’d “absolutely” veto the bill. “Oh, absolutely. I’ve made it very clear I don’t hesitate to veto things when I think they’re wrong. I have respect for the legislature, but I also have a job
Facing serious staffing shortages, some of the largest and most prominent hospital systems in the United States, including HCA Healthcare Inc., Tenet Healthcare Corp., AdventHealth, and Cleveland Clinic have been forced to backpedal on their COVID-19 jab mandates in hopes of retaining crucial employees, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.(Snip)The staggering percentage of healthcare workers who have refused to comply with the jab requirements imposed by their hospital systems--many of whom are vitally necessary nursing personnel--could have a crippling effect on America’s hospitals if the establishments move to fire all noncompliant workers.
OBERLIN — Invoking the names of George Floyd and other Black people killed by police, Oberlin College has announced it will create a Center for Race, Equity and Inclusion. “This new center will ensure that Oberlin is consistently contributing to the national conversation on race,” President Carmen Twillie Ambar said in a Wednesday announcement. “The center will bring together academic opportunities, co-curricular experiences, career programming, mentorship, community building and civic engagement.” (Snip) The presidential initiative has generated $1.3 million in giving to Oberlin College. The Center on Race will be the focus of its next capital campaign, she said.

Pro-LGBT talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz announced his candidacy for a hotly-contested Senate seat in Pennsylvania next year, running as a Republican despite a history of transgender activism and support for other liberal causes.(Snip)In a tweet unearthed by conservative commentator Jack Posobiec, Oz endorsed theories of “systemic racism.” And though he has largely framed his Senate bid around fighting lockdowns and COVID mandates, Dr. Oz once accosted fellow talk show host Wendy Williams for choosing not to get an experimental coronavirus jab.
Archbishop Viganò shared this moving text and video with us on Wednesday. The video and text are an international call for the creation of an anti-globalist alliance to defeat the evil elites who wish to enslave free men and women and promote a “Religion of Humanity that cancels Faith in Christ.” From Archbishop Viganò: The whole pandemic issue is instrumental to the Great Reset, and it is the latter that we must fight. I think that, at this moment, it is most appropriate to create a movement of the people that calls together, in an Anti-globalist Alliance, Catholics, Christians, and people of goodwill.
Yesterday shortly before the start of The Joe Hoft Show on the RealTalk Radio Network, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò provided his appeal to the People of Faith around the world to unite in a worldwide Anti-Globalist alliance to stand against the dark forces of globalism. Here is the Archbishop’s message:
I appeared this morning on Chicago’s Morning Answer radio show with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson (no relation). (Snip)The topic was the Rittenhouse case primarily.(Snip)Dan Proft (07:03):Lest we forget, you know, former Supreme court justice, John Paul Stevens. It was just a couple of years ago. He wrote an op-ed in New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. And of course, that’s the operative position of the entire collection on the left.(Snip)William Jacobson (07:18):That’s what this is all about. And that’s why they’re so heavily focused on it. You don’t see this sort of media attention for other cases that don’t involve self-defense,

A team of nine black climbers is attempting to scale Mount Everest to tackle the mountain's 'intentional lack of access for black people' and mountaineering's 'colonial history'. The Full Circle Everest Expedition, which climbing leader Fred Campbell described as 'the first all black and brown expedition to the highest place on earth' in an Instagram video, is hoping to change the future of mountaineering. The first two men to ever complete the climb to Mount Everest's summit were Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, from Nepal, and Sir Edmund Hillary, from New Zealand, in 1953. In fact, many people from the Sherpa community climb the mountain daily during peak season to carry

The actor, 63, accidentally fatally shot the cinematographer on the set of the Western film Rust last year, and in a lengthy video, reflected on 2021 and how thankful he is to have gotten 'so much goodwill from people'. He said: 'I've had more people who have been kind and thoughtful and generous of spirit than I've had people who are malignant about the death of Halyna Hutchins.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver remarks at the US Capitol on Thursday to mark the first anniversary of January 6th insurrection. The pair will speak in one part of a series of events organized by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats in 'solemn observance' for the officers who died protecting the Capitol from the rioters.Although it is unknown what the pair will say Thursday, Biden has repeatedly condemned the rioters who breached the Capitol while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election and has referred to the insurrection as a 'dark day' in American history.
Should Donald Trump run in 2024?
44 replies
With the turn of the calendar to 2022, Republicans are not only looking to the 2022 midterm elections but to the prospect of Donald Trump running in 2024. Trump is hugely popular with the party’s base and that popularity freezes the plans of other possible candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump’s hold on that nomination is brittle, however, because of his age. On election day in 2024 Donald Trump will be 78 years old. That is one year older than Ronald Reagan’s age when he left office in 1988.Looking at the 2024 contest from the other side of the race, there is no reason to expect that Joe Biden
Liz Cheney, one of two Republicans on the unconstitutionally assembled January 6 Committee, rebuked GOP voters for their support of former President Donald Trump on Sunday.
“We can either be loyal to Donald Trump or we can be loyal to the Constitution, but we cannot be both. And right now, there are far too many Republicans who are trying to enable the former president, embrace the former president, look the other way and hope that the former president goes away, trying to obstruct the activities of this committee,”
Ten years ago, baby-faced men were passed over in Hollywood for rugged looking stars with more traditionally masculine looks. But today more feminine-looking actors with delicate features, shorter stature and symmetrical faces are more in demand because they appear to younger viewers, experts claim.Gen Z audiences are drawn to celebrities like Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles who embody a 'brand of enlightened non-toxic masculinity', according to beauty expert Laura Kay.

She added: 'Over two years of delay tactics won't stop our investigation because no one is above the law.'
WASHINGTON — Days before the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced the Senate will vote on filibuster rules changes to advance stalled voting legislation that Democrats say is needed to protect democracy. In a letter Monday to colleagues, Schumer, D-N.Y., said the Senate “must evolve” and will “debate and consider” the rules changes by Jan. 17, on or before Martin Luther King Jr. Day, as the Democrats seek to overcome Republican opposition to their elections law package.
“Let me be clear: January 6th was a symptom of a broader illness — an effort to delegitimize our election process,”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to step down at the end of this Congress after nearly two decades in Democratic leadership, and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is the new favorite to lead the party. While Jeffries, N.Y., chair of the House Democratic Caucus, is the favorite, the debate over who will succeed Pelosi, Calif., could lay to bare the deep divide between progressives and moderates. Future leaders of the party could differ in their ideas for how to counter the GOP, as they brace for the possibility of serious losses in the midterm elections.
Furious drivers stranded on I-95 in Virginia for more than 19 hours without gas, food and water are demanding that Governor Ralph Northam speed up rescue efforts. Virginia State Senator Tim Kaine is one of the hundreds of travelers stuck along a 50-mile stretch of Interstate 95 - between Dumfries Road, which is nearly an hour to Washington, DC, and Carmel Church, only 8mi from the Capitol - after a snowstorm dumped at least 11 inches of snow on the road and a crash involving six tractor-trailers.Kaine revealed that he is one of the people stuck in the snowy pile-up in a tweet early Tuesday
The Manhattan district attorney’s office has dropped a probe into Andrew Cuomo over allegations he mishandled nursing homes during the initial coronavirus outbreak, the ex-governor’s lawyer said Monday.
Cuomo’s spokesman forwarded a statement from Elkan Abramowitz, an attorney who had repped the governor’s office under Cuomo. “I was contacted today by the head of the Elder Care Unit from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office who informed me they have closed its investigation involving the Executive Chamber and nursing homes,” Abramowitz said. “I was told that after a thorough investigation—as we have said all along—there was no evidence to suggest that any laws were broken.”
