[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] In February 2007, he had just landed a $180,000 job as Senior Vice President at data company InfoUSA, despite already holding a full-time position as a home loan officer at Countrywide Home Loans in San Mateo and having no experience in database marketing.
In 2009, Pelosi Jr. was recruited to be president of an environmental investment company called Natural Blue Resources.
In October 2013 Pelosi Jr. landed a job as Vice President of biofuel company FOGFuels.
In 2014 Pelosi Jr. moved on to two new roles. The first was as Independent Director of Los Angeles-based drug company Targeted Medical Pharma, which, a year after Pelosi Jr. left the firm, was accused by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of testing drugs on people without authorization.
Pelosi Jr. quit the company seven months after joining according to SEC filings, and left the FOGFuels position off his LinkedIn resume completely.
Pelosi Jr. did decide to include a new full-time role on his LinkedIn resume in October 2014 as 'Business Development Executive' of the Corporate Governance Initiative (CGI) — though he has since removed it.
SEC filings say CGI is 'a non-profit group' focused on 'transparency, capitalism and building sustainable organization[s]' and that Pelosi was promoted to Executive Director of the organization in December 2015.
Oroplata Resources, a lithium mining company, announced Pelosi Jr. had joined the firm as a Senior Advisor in July 2016.
The company has since changed its name to American Battery Metals Corporation.

[ALPHANEWS.ORG] A Minneapolis man who attempted to run over a firefighter with his vehicle was released from custody Monday with zero bail required by Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu.
According to a criminal complaint, 52-year-old Shawn Coates was following a woman in his pickup truck when she approached a Minneapolis fire station for help. One of the firefighters on duty directed the woman to "go into the fire station for safety" and told Coates to "move on."
Coates didn’t take this well. He called the firefighter a "motherf—," began spinning his tires, and eventually tried to run over the firefighter with his truck.
"Defendant actually turned the vehicle to Victim’s direction and drove his vehicle into the fire station garage doors. Victim had to move out of the way and step behind a garage door pillar to not be hit. Firefighters had to use an axe and other tools to disable the vehicle to stop Defendant from driving," the criminal complaint says.
But Coates didn’t stop there. He got out of his crashed vehicle, entered the fire station, and "squared up" to fight a fire captain. It was at this point that he was tackled to the ground by one of the first responders.
"You guys are pieces of s—, I’m coming back for you," he shouted as a group of firefighters pinned him to the ground.
Coates continued to demonstrate erratic behavior after his arrest and was heard "yelling loudly inside the jail through the heavy jail walls and door." It took several deputies to "hold and detain him," the complaint states.
Judge Chu decided to release Coates from custody Monday with zero bail required, Crime Watch Minneapolis first reported. Coates has been charged with two counts of attempted fourth-degree assault, one count of threats of violence, and one count of third-degree damage to property.
Chu is best known for presiding over the manslaughter trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter. This is not the first time the Hennepin County judge has released violent mostly peaceful criminals back onto the streets. Earlier this month, she temporarily released a man from jail so he could attend a funeral, but he never came back.

[NYPOST] An Illinois judge is facing heat for reversing an 18-year-old man’s sexual assault conviction at the teen’s sentencing last week — saying the 148 days he spent in jail since his arrest was enough, reports said.Adams County Judge Robert Adrian issued the stunning reversal last Monday after finding Drew Clinton guilty of one count of criminal sexual assault at an October bench trial, the Herald-Whig reported.
"Mr. Clinton has served almost five months in the county jail, 148 days," Adrian said, according to a court transcript obtained by the newspaper.
"For what happened in this case, that is plenty of punishment. That would be a just sentence."
Clinton was convicted of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a graduation party last May.
He had faced a mandatory minimum sentence of four years. Adrian’s decision came after Clinton’s attorneys filed two post-trial motions and the judge ruled prosecutors failed to prove their case, the newspaper reported.

[GP] The Democrats are going to ram through their "Right to Cheat" voting bill today.
The new law will legalize midnight drop boxes, criminal ballot harvesting and No Voter ID laws.
It will be the end of the great American experiment.
After they allegedly "won" the most votes ever with their uninspiring basement candidate Joe Biden they somehow feel the need to legalize cheating in elections.
Seems a bit odd.
So, starting this Saturday, Democrats will demand ID cards and vaccine passports to walk the streets of Washington DC. But Voter ID will be done away with.

The U.S. Senate adjourned Thursday night without taking up voting rights legislation that passed in the House earlier in the day.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had wanted to put the legislation to a vote before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, according to The Hill.
However, citing an incoming storm and COVID-19, Schumer said the Senate would take up the legislation on Tuesday.
The bill was dealt a blow earlier Thursday when Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona said she is not in favor of changing Senate rules to bypass the filibuster.
Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin, who has also said won't eliminate the filibuster, reportedly made a stop at the White House Thursday to meet with President Joe Biden. It's unclear whether they will ultimately help the president get a signature piece of his agenda passed.
Gateway Pundit was a tad overexcited, thank goodness — it was only rammed through in the House.
[NYPOST] Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Thursday said he was unaware of the efforts to get him ousted from office over his progressive prosecutorial agenda.
The top prosecutor was asked by a photographer about the online campaign launched this week — and pushed by Republican gubernatorial candidate Andrew Giuliani and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa — demanding an amendment to the state constitution to allow for a recall of Bragg’s election.
"I haven’t heard about what either of those two have said, so no comment," Bragg said as he exited a black SUV about 9:30 a.m. outside his Lower Manhattan office.
"I was elected by the voters of Manhattan, we’re two weeks in, we plan to deliver safety and justice for all and we’re focused on the mission."

[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] Recently revealed video shows the Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... White House is erecting a concrete (K-Rail) blast and security containment wall directly around the White House.

These types of security barriers are sometimes erected when heads of state are planning to come to the White House. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... there doesn’t appear to be any information about an anticipated delegation or foreign dignitary. Additionally, according to one researcher on social media {LINK}, all of the publicly available CCTV video-streams have been disabled as this work is taking place.
The perimeter fence appears to be approximately 10′ high and is made from reinforced concrete k-rails. It is also being installed directly around the White House building itself. Uh huh: K-rail is 32" high

I saw a picture yesterday and it looked like the K-rail concrete bases were being topped with panels of some kind, hence the 10' height guess. But it also looked in the pic I saw that they were encircling the front fountain, suggesting work or perhaps things under the fountain being worked on?
[CNBC] Federal authorities on Thursday charged Stewart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the Death Eater far-right Oath Keepers militia, and 10 other people with seditious conspiracy and other crimes for their alleged roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
An indictment alleges that after the November 2020 presidential election, Rhodes and others conspired to oppose by force the transfer of presidential power from then-President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... to Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier. Of course Corn Pop is a real person.... , which included plans to breach and try to take control of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The conspiracy allegedly involved the amassing of firearms on the outskirts of Washington, D.C, and distribution to so-called quick reaction force teams to support the effort to keep Trump in office, according to the indictment, issued by a grand jury in DC federal court.
That charging document is based in part on access to encrypted messages on the Signal app that federal authorities obtained access to.
The charge of seditious conspiracy carries a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in prison.
Rhodes, a 56-year-old former U.S. Army paratrooper who live in Granbury, Texas, was arrested early Thursday afternoon. He was subpoenaed in November by the House of Representatives select committee that is investigating the riot,.
Rhodes is known to have been outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan., 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the complex and breached its buildings in an effort to disrupt an ongoing session of Congress confirming the election of Biden.
Members and affiliates of the Oath Keepers were among the crowd that forcibly rushed into the Capitol past law enforcement officers.
Stewart Rhodes’ lawyer, Jonathon Moseley, told NBC News that he was on the phone with his client talking about his scheduled appearance before the House panel when the FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... came to Rhodes’ house to arrest him."
Also indicted was Edward Vallejo, 63, of Phoenix, Arizona, who was arrested Thursday morning in that city, authorities said.
Neither Rhodes nor Vallejo had been previously charged in connection with the riot.
Nine others who had been previously charged in connection with the riot also were indicted Thursday, according to authorities.
They are: Thomas Caldwell, 67, of Berryville, Va; Joseph Hackett, 51, of Sarasota, Fla.; Kenneth Harrelson, 41, of Titusville, Fla.; Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Ala.; Kelly Meggs, 52, of Dunnellon, Fla.; Roberto Minuta, 37, of Prosper, Texas; David Moerschel, 44, of Punta Gorda, Fla.; Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Ga.; and Jessica Watkins, 39, of Woodstock, Ohio.
James and Minuta reportedly have acted as bodyguards for Roger Stone, the longtime GOP operative and confidant of Trump. Stone did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the indictment.
Less than a month after the riot, the Justice Department charged Caldwell, who allegedly held a leadership role within the Oath Keepers, of conspiracy, obstructing an official proceeding and other charges.
A defense attorney told a judge last year that the Navy veteran Caldwell previously worked for the FBI and maintained a top-secret security clearance for years.
The Justice Department in a blurb said, "Eight other individuals affiliated with the Oath Keepers, all previously charged in the investigation, remain as defendants in two related cases."
THE 11 DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY
Elmer Stewart Rhodes, 56, from Granbury, Texas, founder of the Oath Keepers far-right group, is accused of planning the militia's attack on the US Capitol.
Rhodes did not breach the building but was said to be in a restricted area of Capitol grounds, from where he coordinated the actions of the militiamen, who was seen marching in formation, dressed in tactical gear.
Edward Vallejo, 63, from Phoenix, Arizona, is accused of coordinating quick reaction force teams during the January 6 Capitol attack.
Vallejo was described in the indictment as standing at the ready near a hotel in Washington DC with guns and vehicles.
He was quoted as writing in a group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal: 'Vallejo back at the hotel and outfitted. Have two trucks available. Let me know how I can assist.'
Thomas Caldwell, 67, of Berryville, Virginia, on January 3 allegedly suggested in a text message getting a boat to ferry weapons across the Potomac River to their 'waiting arms.'
During a search of Caldwell's home, authorities said they found a 'Death List' that included the name of an elected official, and invoices for various weapons, including a gun shaped like a cellphone.
Caldwell has denied being a member of the Oath Keepers, and his lawyer filed documents alleging that he has had a top-security clearance since 1979 and previously worked for the FBI.
Joseph Hackett, 51, of Sarasota, Florida, a chiropractor, is accused of leading the local chapter of the Oath Keepers coordinating training, planning, travel, and action with Rhodes.
According to the indictment, Hackett paid for a hotel room in DC from January 5-7, 2021.
It alleges Hackett and others 'prepared themselves for battle before heading to the Capitol by equipping themselves with communication devices and donning reinforced vests, helmets, and goggles.'
Kenneth Harrelson, 41, of Titusville, Florida, a US Army veteran, was photographed inside the Capitol Rotunda with members of Oath Keepers.
He is accused of being among a group of rioters who were hunting for House Speaker Nancy during the insurrection.
One of co-conspirators allegedly texted Harrelson and asked he make 'Pelosi's head [roll] down the steps of the Capitol.'
Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, owns a cleaning company. Photos from before the riot show him 'providing security' to speakers at the Stop the Steal rally.
Kelly Meggs, 52, of Dunnellon, Florida, was arrested and charged with his wife Connie.
The Meggses are accused of conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, destruction of government property, and other crimes.
He is also accused of colluding with Proud Boys to storm the Capitol.
At the beginning of this year the Meggses sued the House select committee investigating the insurrection, saying their subpoena for their phone records was unlawful.
Roberto Minuta, 37, of Prosper, Texas, was part of the 'guard' for Roger Stone.
In response to a call for individuals to storm the Capitol after it had been breached, Minuta and Joshua James drove to the Capitol with others in a pair of golf carts.
During this time, they swerved 'around law enforcement vehicles' with Minuta allegedly asserting: 'Patriots are storming the Capitol... so we're en route in a grand theft auto golf cart to the Capitol building right now... it's going down guys; it's literally going down right now Patriots storming the Capitol building...'
David Moerschel, 44, of Punta Gorda, Florida, was seen in FBI images wheeling a long gun case in to a hotel in Arlington, Virginia.
He is seen on footage inside the Capitol next to Graydon Young, a man from Englewood who pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the FBI.
Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Georgia, had been previously charged in the investigation.
He began planning for the riot a week prior and had joined an online group to discuss arrangements.
On the day of the attack, Ulrich allegedly formed a 'stack' formation and breached the Capitol grounds with other Oath Keepers and affiliates.
Jessica Watkins, 39, a bartender from Woodstock, Ohio, said that she was in DC to help with security for speakers at the Trump rally that took place right before the Capitol storming.
She is also claiming the United States Secret Service was aware of her assisting in security efforts near the White House that day.

[NATURALNEWS] The latest data from the British government shows a disturbing trend among the "fully vaccinated," who are very clearly dying at a significantly higher rate than the unvaccinated. Grain of salt called for. Site's full of herbal stuff.
According to the figures, there are 286 percent more deaths occurring now among people who got jabbed for the Wuhan coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... (Covid-19) compared to people who left their immune systems and DNA alone.
Upwards of one million people have suffered serious injuries or died so far from the shots. And this is a conservative estimate based on official government data, which is known to be underreported.

Natural News (formerly NewsTarget, which is now a separate sister site) is a far-right, anti-vaccination conspiracy theory and fake news website known for promoting alternative medicine, pseudoscience, and far-right extremism.[ Wikipedia
Here is thorough and clear overview of the reasons the "vaccine" (it's really super-risky gene therapy) may well create more health risks than it protects against. Excerpt:
"People don’t realize that these vaccines are vastly different from the many childhood vaccines we are now used to getting early in life. I find it shocking that the vaccine developers and the government officials across the globe are wrecklessly pushing these vaccines on an unsuspecting population. Together with Dr. Greg Nigh, I recently published a peer-reviewed paper on the technology behind the mRNA vaccines and the many potentially unknown consequences to health .
"Such unprecedented vaccines normally take twelve years to develop, with only a 2% success rate, but these vaccines were developed and brought to market in less than a year. As a consequence, we have no direct knowledge of any effects that the vaccines might have on our health over the long term. However, knowledge about how these vaccines work, how the immune system works and how neurodegenerative diseases come about can be brought to bear on the problem in order to predict potential devastating future consequences of the vaccines.
"The mRNA in these vaccines codes for the spike protein normally synthesized by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, both the mRNA and the protein it produces have been changed from the original version in the virus with the intent to increase rate of production of the protein in an infected cell and the durability of both the mRNA and the spike protein it codes for.
"Additional ingredients like cationic lipids and polyethylene glycol are also toxic with unknown consequences. The vaccines were approved for emergency use based on grossly inadequate studies to evaluate safety and effectiveness.
"Our paper showed that there are several mechanisms by which these vaccines could lead to severe disease, including autoimmune disease, neurodegenerative diseases, vascular disorders (hemorrhaging and blood clots) and possibly reproductive issues.
"There is also the risk that the vaccines will accelerate the emergence of new strains of the virus that are no longer sensitive to the antibodies produced by the vaccines. When people are immune compromised (e.g., taking chemotherapy for cancer), the antibodies they produce may not be able to keep the virus in check because the immune system is too impaired. Just as in the case of antibiotic resistance, new strains evolve within an infected immune-compromised person’s body that produce a version of the spike protein that no longer binds with the acquired antibodies.
"These new strains quickly come to dominate over the original strain, especially when the general population is heavily vaccinated with a vaccine that is specific to the original strain. This problem is likely going to necessitate the repeated rollout of new versions of the vaccine at periodic intervals that people will have to receive to induce yet another round of antibody production in an endless game of cat and mouse.
"Like the mRNA vaccines, the DNA vaccines are based on novel biotech gene editing techniques that are brand new, so they too are a massive experiment unleashed on a huge unsuspecting population, with unknown consequences... ."

Repost from last night sorry but David P. "Spengler" Goldman is on the case -- this means the real inflation rate i.e. that includes the cost of shelter is more like 11-12%.
Reason: they're not accounting for the rise in the cost of shelter (rent, mainly). Try 12% total inflation rate. Economist Goldman ("Spengler"):
This time, the CPI rent inflation rate of 4.2% undershot the private rental data. As old leases expire and new leases are written, the CPI index for shelter should rise by 14 percentage points. Shelter makes up 32.3% of the CPI, so 14 percentage points in the cost of shelter would add another 4.5 percentage points to the headline inflation number.
#2
The Shelter component of the CPI is based partly on rents and partly on the 'equivalent rent of a primary residence'. The latter is determined by a structured interview of homeowners where they guess at what they would get in rent if it was rented out. This is obviously a subjective method but this second component has, over the years, lagged the rent prices by many months. So, yes, there is a lot of increase baked into the 2022 shelter index but probably not as much as inflaton hawks estimate.

[CNN/MSN] Remember this scrunt from Freddy Gray days?
State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is facing perjury charges over documents she submitted to apply for loans against her retirement plan in 2020, according to the indictment. In doing so, allegedly she used a withdrawal option created under the CARES Act, passed to help people who were financially impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the indictment, when Mosby applied for two loans against her 457(b) retirement plan, she signed documents that indicated she "experienced adverse financial consequences" due to Covid-19. However, the indictment said her gross income in 2020 was $247,955.58, an increase of nearly $10,000 from the previous year.
Mosby received $36,000 in May and $45,000 in December of 2020 from her retirement account, according to the indictment.
The money Mosby received allegedly went toward the purchase of two vacation homes in Florida, and she is also charged with making false statements on the mortgage applications, according to the indictment.
She secured a $490,500 mortgage in 2020 and a $428,400 mortgage in 2021, but she did not disclose in the applications that she owed more than $45,000 in federal back taxes, the indictment says.
Additionally, Mosby allegedly stated that she would be the primary resident of one of the homes for at least a year in order to receive a lower mortgage rate. But she had already entered an agreement with a vacation home management company to rent out the house the week before, the indictment alleges.
Mosby's lawyer said his client is innocent of the charges.
"I remain confident that once all the evidence is presented, that she will prevail against these bogus charges — charges that are rooted in personal, political and racial animus five months from her election," attorney A. Scott Bolden said in a statement.
If convicted, Mosby faces a maximum sentence of five years in a federal prison for each perjury count and a maximum of 30 years for each count of making false statements on a mortgage application, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland. She could also be forced to forfeit any property found to have been obtained by fraud, the indictment says.
The Baltimore Sun reported that she sold one of the properties in November for a $150,000 profit.
"We're not commenting beyond what's on the indictment. It speaks for itself," Marcia Murphy, public affairs specialist for Maryland US Attorney Erek Barron, told CNN.
Mosby will have an initial appearance in the US District Court in Baltimore, but the hearing has not yet been scheduled, according to the US Attorney's office.
Mosby was elected as the state's attorney for Baltimore City in 2014 and was re-elected in 2018.
She made national news in 2015 for charging six Baltimore police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, who died in police custody after suffering a neck injury while being driven unrestrained in the back of a police van. His death became a symbol of the Black community's mistrust of police and triggered days of protests and riots in Baltimore. None of the six officers arrested was convicted.

Investigators subpoenaed financial records from Mosby and her husband, City Council President Nick Mosby, in March.
Mosby is running for re-election in June for a third term as Baltimore’s state’s attorney. She has denied any wrongdoing in previous statements about the investigation.
Prosecutors say she asked for a withdrawal of $40,000 from her city retirement account based on what she said was a financial hardship based on the coronavirus pandemic. Contrary to that claim, prosecutors said that at that time her salary had increased by $10,000 to $248,000.
Mosby’s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, blamed racism for the charges.
“We will fight these charges vigorously, and I remain confident that once all the evidence is presented, that she will prevail against these bogus charges — charges that are rooted in personal, political and racial animus five months from her election,” read a statement from Bolden.

Miami : Blue State kakocrats :: Geneva : French elites
[JSONLINE] With Milwaukee's Police Chief Jeffrey Norman standing by his side, Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced sweeping policy proposals Wednesday to help combat crime as Milwaukee faces rising homicides, gun violence, car thefts and reckless driving.
In the newly released strategy, the acting mayor aims to ramp up the city's law enforcement — including maintaining its level of sworn officers — to deal with the rising number of violent mostly peaceful crimes, create resources to promote community healing and provide neighborhood-level support to address the root causes of violence in Milwaukee.
"Milwaukee is in the midst of violence that is both unacceptable as well as unsustainable for the city," he said at a news conference at the Milwaukee Public Library Mitchell Street Branch.
"The trauma affects too many people," he said. "And too many people have bit the dust, including kids, including children in our community."
Johnson's pronouncement comes after Milwaukee had another record-breaking year of homicides in 2021, with 205 reported killings. The previous year reported 190 homicides — more than double the number in 2019.
Additionally, more than 11,500 vehicles were stolen across Milwaukee in 2021 and 65 people died as a result of reckless driving last year, according to Johnson.
Reggie Moore, left, director of Violence Prevention Policy and Engagement at the Medical College of Wisconsin, talks with Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson following a news conference where Johnson shared his plans on public safety plans for the city.
Some of the new initiatives aim to work toward more long-term and sustainable approaches to improving health and safety across the city, including:
Maintaining the number of sworn police officers with the Milwaukee Police Department.

tackle Gun Violence
Best be at the top of yer game. He's a shifty one, that ol' Gun Violence
[MLIVE] Republican gubernatorial hopeful Garrett Soldano unveiled a set of transparency and anti-corruption proposals that might sound familiar to Michigan Democrats.Soldano, a Kalamazoo chiropractor, said his "Michigan Sunshine 2.0″ platform is modeled after reforms Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender who never got off the ground... supported as a 2018 candidate but hasn’t delivered on. It’s also a response to sexual harassment and ethics investigations facing former House Speaker Lee Chatfield, a Republican who left the chamber due to term limits in 2021.
"This is a bipartisan issue," Soldano said. "I think this goes across the aisle and not only Democrats and liberals, Republicans and libertarians, everybody is waiting for somebody to get in there and actually do what’s right for the good of the people as a whole."

I wouldn't use Whitmer as a role model for anything.
[REDSTATE] It’s been 48 hours since President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... gave a train wreck of a speech in Georgia and told the American people that if you don’t agree with changing the Senate rules on the filibuster and/or federalizing elections, you are no better than prominent racist Democrats of the past including Bull Connor, George Wallace, and Jefferson Davis.
For those who believed Biden’s campaign promises of being a "uniter in chief," it was a shocking moment, a dramatic turning point in his presidency. For the rest of us who have long been familiar with Joe Biden’s history of fanning the flames of racism for political gain including trying to sabotage the SCOTUS confirmation of Clarence Thomas, it was further evidence that Joe Biden is who we’ve always said he is: one of the most ruthless, cutthroat people in politics when he doesn’t get his way.
What’s happened in that 48 hours since Biden went full-metal woke in front of that Georgia crowd? He’s been roundly criticized, not just by the right but by some on the left as well, including the Senate’s second in command Dick Durbin ...Senator-for-Life from Illinois and Democratic Party Whip. In April 2006, Time magazine identified Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators, so what's that tell you? He was the first United States Senator to support the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, then the junior senator from Illinois... . Much worse than that for him, though, the Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... just blocked him on the private workplace vaccine mandate.
On top of that, Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema ...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona.... took to the Senate floor earlier today to let Biden know in so many words that his smear tactics from Tuesday will not work on her, and that she is still committed to preserving the filibuster, which pretty much guarantees his agenda will be nuked.
After Sinema’s speech, fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin ...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents... endorsed her statement, saying that "I think it’s the points that I’ve been making for an awful long time and she has, too."
With one loss after another piling up on Biden after his failed attempt ...Curses! Foiled again!... at strong-arming his political opposition, he appeared before the cameras a couple of hours ago after a private meeting with Senate Democratic leaders (Sinema gave her speech a few minutes prior to that meeting), and the signs of defeat were there. Gone was the "we will get this done" attitude we’ve heard and seen from him in the past. In its place? A visibly flustered Biden, who acknowledged that he didn’t know if "we can get it done".

[THEEPOCHTIMES] The Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... on Thursday blocked the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us... ’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses but decided to let a separate regulation that requires health care workers to get a vaccine take effect.
In a 6—3 ruling, justices halted the mandate for all private employers with 100 or more workers, ruling the states and companies that challenged the rule were likely to succeed.
Biden administration officials had argued that the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 gave them the authority to impose the mandate, but a majority of justices disagreed.
"Applicants are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Secretary lacked authority to impose the mandate. Administrative agencies are creatures of statute. They accordingly possess only the authority that Congress has provided. The Secretary has ordered 84 million Americans to either obtain a COVID—19 vaccine or undergo weekly medical testing at their own expense. This is no ’everyday exercise of federal power.’ It is instead a significant encroachment into the lives—and health—of a vast number of employees," the majority wrote in a slip opinion.

So when did healthcare workers sign over their rights? They don't work for the government.

Not surprising. The hospitals I worked at, even though I was in IT and not in the main hospital, still had all staff have to have certain vaccinations and a flue and TB test done every year.
The theory is you don't want staff around really sick people and lugging in more possible germs to add to the mix.
