In a massive overreach of government power, Joe Biden said federal and private employers must require their workforce to get vaccinated - or else. This move from the Democrat who once preached 'unity' could lead to national ruin.

Despite pledging in the past that he would never force Americans to roll up their sleeves for a mandatory vaccine, that is exactly what President Joe Biden announced this week to a nation already sick and tired of masks, lockdowns and political infighting. Worse, the US leader stoked divisions inside of the country, where many fear the rise of a medical-style apartheid, by singling out the unvaccinated for blame.

"We've been patient," the 78-year-old Democrat lectured, carefully reciting his tele-prompted words. "But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us." The unvaccinated among us "can cause a lot of damage, and they are."

Department of Education opens civil rights investigation into Florida ban on mask mandates

New CDC figures appear to bolster Gov. DeSantis argument for parental choice over mask mandates.

The Biden administration's Department of Education (DOE) has opened a civil rights investigation into Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's executive order banning mask mandates in schools on the same day that the First District Court of Appeals reinstated the ban after it had been blocked by a Leon County, Florida circuit judge.

The DOE's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) said in a Friday letter addressed to Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran that it was "opening a directed investigation" into whether the governor's statewide ban "may be preventing school districts in the state from considering or meeting the needs of students with disabilities," according to The Hill.

Comment: If the parents weren't so indoctrinated by fear spread by the media about a not-particularly-dangerous virus, this concern simply wouldn't exist. Not to mention the idea that society should have to change its behavior, and indeed put themselves at risk, because your child has a disability is completely anti-American.

Actress and activist Rose McGowan has accused California Governor Gavin Newsom's wife of trying to convince her not to go public with the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse story. She will detail the allegations on Sunday.

Newsom's chief rival, Republican Party candidate Larry Elder, said he and McGowan will hold a press conference on Sunday afternoon. "Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer, attempted to bribe and silence her from speaking out about Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuses."

"The time for radical change is now," the actress wrote on Twitter after the announcement.

Rutgers bars unvaccinated student from attending VIRTUAL classes

Logan Hollar has applied to be exempted from Rutgers’ vaccine mandate because he is studying from home.
A New Jersey student has said he is barred from taking classes at Rutgers University because he has not been vaccinated — even though he is only studying virtually from home.

Logan Hollar, 22, told NJ.com that he largely ignored the school's COVID mandate "because all my classes were remote" from his Sandyston home, some 70 miles from Rutgers' campus in New Brunswick.

But he was locked out of his Rutgers email and related accounts when he went to pay his tuition at the end of last month — and was told that he needed to be vaccinated even though he has no plans to attend in person.

Comment: Welcome to the apartheid state. It doesn't matter whether the activity you're trying to engage in could not possibly expose anyone to Covid, if you're not vaccinated, you're not participating.

Stephen King holds up a pink Amazon Kindle 2 electronic reader at a news conference in New York where the device was introduced.
Horror novelist Stephen King may pay his bills by inventing stories, but he was accused of taking creative license with health data, saying 1,200 Floridians died of Covid in one day - a claim that remains up despite being untrue.

"1200 dead of COVID yesterday in Florida," King, who lives in both Florida and Maine, tweeted on Friday. "Not the total for a week or a month, but ONE SINGLE DAY."

Comment: Anyone who takes anything Biden does as a sign of an "intelligent mind" is clearly delusional. It would be wise to not take anything they say on any topic seriously. Of course, the highly partisan King has a history of tweeting rather moronic statements.

An upstate New York hospital said it will pause the delivery of babies in two weeks because of a spate of resignations by maternity unit workers who are objecting to COVID-19 vaccination mandates.

Lewis County General Hospital, in Lowville, will temporarily stop delivering babies after Sept. 24, WWNY reported. During a news conference Friday afternoon, Lewis County Health System CEO Gerald Cayer said seven of the 30 hospital workers who resigned were from the hospital's maternity ward. He added that another seven maternity unit staffers were undecided about getting the vaccine, the television station reported.

The workers were objecting to a Sept. 27 deadline to receive a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the Watertown Daily Times reported. Then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued the state mandate on Aug. 23.

Police and health authorities in Minnesota, US are investigating a case of "emotional abuse" at a local nursing home. Teen girls who worked at the facility had been found apparently tormenting a resident with dementia.

Two aides at the Johnson Memorial Hospital and Home in the small town of Dawson, who are said to be around 17 years old, allegedly abused one of the female residents, the local Fox channel reported on Saturday.

One evening back in May, the girls danced in "a sexually provocative manner" in front of the elderly woman with dementia, who sat on a couch in a lounge, according to the now-revealed report from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

Comment: The lack of empathy in younger generations is striking in its prevalence. Whether its due to social media, a retarded education system, poor diet or a failure on the part of the parents (or a good old-fashioned character disturbance) can be speculated over, but its increasing pervasiveness seems undeniable.

A textbook assigned to students at a North Carolina community college states that COVID-19 protocols "saved tens of thousands of lives" while Americans who disagreed with those restrictions caused deaths.

"Most Americans responded to the pandemic by limiting their social contact, covering their faces when going out, and washing their hands thoroughly after they did," the passage begins and then continues with, "yet lives were lost because some Americans held beliefs that were at odds with the facts."

textbook 1
The textbook appeared in the POL 120: American Government course at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte.

This excerpt is drawn from a textbook titled "We the People: An Introduction to American Government," specifically from a chapter dedicated to critical thinking and detecting misinformation.

Bottles for the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine are ready to be prepared before the opening of a mass vaccination site in the Queens borough of New York, February 24, 2021.
BioNTech is set to request approval across the globe to use its Covid-19 vaccine in children as young as five over the next few weeks and preparations for a launch are on track, the biotech firm's two top executives told Der Spiegel.

"Already over the next few weeks we will file the results of our trial in five to 11 year olds with regulators across the world and will request approval of the vaccine in this age group, also here in Europe," Chief Medical Officer Oezlem Tuereci told the news weekly.

The confident statements underscore the lead that BioNTech, which collaborates with Pfizer, holds in the race to win broad approval to vaccinate children below the age of 12 in Western countries.

BioNTech has said it expected to file its regulatory dossier on the five to 11 year olds in September. It has also laid out plans to seek approval in children aged 6 months to 2 years later this year.

Tuereci also told Spiegel that final production steps were being adjusted to bottle a lower-dose pediatric version of its established Comirnaty vaccine. It is currently approved for adults and youngsters at least 12 years of age.

An employee makes a chip at a factory of Jiejie Semiconductor Company in Nantong, in eastern China's Jiangsu province on March 17.
China's market watchdog fined three car chip distributors for driving up prices amid a global semiconductor shortage that has created a supply crunch for carmakers and pushed up costs.

The State Administration of Market Regulation (SAMR) fined Shanghai Cheter, Shanghai Chengsheng Industrial, and Shenzhen Yuchang Technologies a total of 2.5 million yuan (US$387,870), the regulator said in a statement on its website on Friday.

"SAMR will continue to pay close attention to the chip price index, step up our monitoring of prices, and crack down on illegal activities such as hoarding and driving up prices to maintain the sound order of the market," the regulator said.

Comment: With 17+ months' worth of lockdowns and a number of significant port closures, we can expect to see similar supply issues, price rises, price gouging, and hoarding, occuring for various other products; we're already seeing serious issues with the food supply:
