Joe Biden Threatens the Unvaccinated and Announces His Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandate in Disturbing, Dictatorial Speech
“Yesterday, the President of the United States essentially declared his power unlimited. Taking to the podium, Joe Biden, mimicking the mannerisms of an angry drunk, announced that he has ordered OSHA to create a rule to force all businesses with more than 100 employees to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine.
In doing so, he threatened the unvaccinated, claimed he could get governors who resist “out of the way,” and asserted that “patience” was running out for those who don’t comply. It was truly the most disturbing, tyrannical speech I’ve ever heard from a president, and I don’t say that lightly. We have entered a new place as a nation, and that place is not good.”
Biden’s vaccine mandate does three things for him: gets Afghanistan out of the news, lets media praise him for being decisive, and lets him take credit for now declining covid numbers. Note the chart.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
It's the Story of the Century, and the Media Yawn
Fletch Daniels 9/9
Never before in human history has a global pandemic resulted in the dismemberment of first-world economies, highly divisive universal vaccine and mask mandates, education-stunting school shutdowns, and the isolation of entire societies to the point of extreme mental health damage. Throughout all this, the media have remained incurious as to how this historic misery happened. Anyone with half a brain cell already knew that a new virus that started within a stone's throw of a biosafety level 4 laboratory in an authoritarian nation likely either leaked or was released from that laboratory. But acknowledging this obvious fact immediately led to expulsion from "polite" society, or at least from social media.
But the fact that Saint Fauci is the director of an organization, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that provided U.S. funding on "gain of function" research to the tune of nearly $600,000 on several types of coronaviruses at the very lab where the leak happened may well be the biggest story of the last fifty years…..We were literally funding research by our biggest geopolitical rival on how to turn a harmless virus to humans into one that could wreak chaos in human populations. Mission accomplished.
That's an earth-shattering story that fully vindicates Senator Rand Paul, who has been at the forefront of this, even as he was lyingly insulted by the guilty Fauci himself. If I submitted a novel manuscript with a supervillain who conspires with his nation's chief rival to do research that causes a global pandemic, and then is tasked with leading the response to this disaster, I would expect publishers to tell me the story is too far-fetched. And yet that is exactly where this story leads.
In between yawns, the media's primary response to the story is to bury it and disparage anyone who notes it. The media continue to have a tremendous negative impact on America in their war on truth. And one of the most pernicious influences is in the stories they choose to bury, which is a lot of them, while setting the daily news agenda. They say it's time to move on, and America largely moves on…….These media blackouts occur almost daily. For example, just using today as an example, how many people who don't read conservative outlets like this know that four out of the five Taliban members traded for an American traitor, the worst of Guantanamo's worst, are now leaders of Afghanistan? Or how about the fact that history's newest Picasso, who sells paintings for more money than most Americans will ever see in a lifetime, is none other than Hunter Biden, who admitted that he and his father are likely compromised by a laptop stolen by Russians?
This selection of what to cover to drive the narrative is the greatest damage that the media do to America. For all their protestations, I don't think "enemy of the people" is that inaccurate of a description for an institution that has declared war on the truth and done incalculable damage to American society. The media also do damage through repetition, another contrast currently on display. The media absolutely destroyed President George W. Bush through nonstop and blatantly unfair attacks on him during Hurricane Katrina. Yet when a mentally challenged Democrat goes on vacation following a similar hurricane, while much of the same state is still without power, the media marvel at his tremendous competence and compassion.
For those who were lauding the media for negatively covering the administration's Afghanistan disaster, they really had no choice. The historic incompetence was at such a level that they were forced to do what they hate the most, even if they did it in the kindest way possible. But they raced to turn the page and start the rehabilitation effort…….
Returning to the story of the century, do any of the "mainstream" media outlets not find it rather coincidental that we were conspiring with China to turn a harmless bat virus into one that is lethal to mankind? Does it not seem a little odd that the very man the media have lionized, since he is part of their cultural tribe, as the leader of the U.S. response provided funding to this effort? I'm not a big believer in coincidences, and if this was a coincidence, it is the biggest one of all time……Frankly, I don't know if the COVID release was an experiment gone bad or something far more sinister and intentional. But it is always worth considering cui bono, or who stands to benefit, when looking at an issue like this. The greatest beneficiaries of the destruction wrought by COVID (and the overheated response to it that is still paralyzing Western democracies) were China and leftists and globalists worldwide.
The release of the virus accomplished a number of objectives. It reversed the damage that the Trump administration was doing to China while resulting in a significant increase in China's comparative power. It resulted in a strong move toward authoritarianism across the globe. And it resulted in the weakest and most compromised American president of my lifetime. Cui bono, indeed.
At worst, this is a global conspiracy that rivals any in history. At best, this is the worst cover-up of recent history. The story is the blockbuster of all blockbusters. But Democracy dies in darkness, as the paper that marveled at President Biden's competence and compassion intones, and darkness is what we have at the moment.
I've gained a lot of respect for Senator Rand Paul for his commitment to the truth. Here's to hoping a few other politicians buck the cultural power of the left and demand accountability and answers to the biggest questions of recent history. The leftstream media certainly aren't going to do it, but we shouldn't let them bury a story of this magnitude.
Mark Helprin, Claremont Senior Fellow, is always a must read: “Although the strength and preservation of the United States have always depended upon the spirit and guidance of its founding principles, these are now astoundingly subject to widespread and hateful repudiation from Americans themselves. Seldom has so obvious a national suicide advanced with such geometric speed against so little resistance.….. we have lost the will to preserve even our shrinking military advantage. One illustrative example was the gratuitous cancellation of the F-22, the world’s most advanced fighter plane. Now, Adam Smith (D., WA), genius chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who compares defense budgeting to “asking the Cookie Monster how many cookies you should have in your cookie store,” is hell-bent upon cancelling the F-35, America’s only 5th-generation aircraft in production, in favor of the 4th-generation F-15EX. Of many mortal differences: the radar cross-section of the F-15EX is 42.8 feet (a yacht, broadside); of the F-35, 3.8mm (a mosquito, head-on). So much for stealth, and survival.

TUCKER
Portland State U professor resigns with scathing letter about woke brainwashing at 'social justice factory'. Interviewed on Tucker. “…brick by brick, the university has made this kind of intellectual exploration impossible. It has transformed a bastion of free inquiry into a Social Justice factory whose only inputs were race, gender, and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division.”
“The entire CRT/BLM/wokist sentiment in the country — epitomized by what is happening in a sizable majority of high school and college classrooms — highlights what is arguably the most dangerous issue currently facing America: we are raising — encouraging, even! — an entire generation of people who feel no ownership of, loyalty to, or obligation to the country in which they live.”

GLOBALONEY
Despite zero evidence that human greenhouse gas emissions are harming Earth, the Democrats, cheered by the media, continue to enact energy policies they say are necessary for saving our world. But all they’re doing is increasing energy scarcity, which forces prices higher, and ignoring facts that don’t fit their narrative.

Another Trump supporter died on Jan 6 besides Ashli Babbitt. “I do not know what type of gas the officers used, but I know for sure that it was not tear gas…After the officers sprayed this gas at me, I could not breathe for longer than a few seconds. This gas caused me to collapse, where the police then proceeded to push others on top of me. There were many others who collapsed because of these toxins, as I did. The police continued hitting me and others. One of the people that fell in the crowd was a woman by the name Roseanne Boyland.” (who died)
