Hey it worked for Obama…

Just a few months ago President Biden said, “vaccine mandates are not the role of the federal government.”

Sort of like when President Obama said, “If you want to keep your doctor you can,”

We all know how both of those statements turned out.

The OSHA requirements regarding President Biden’s vaccine mandate have been published.

For a President who keeps telling us things are going to get better, that the supply chain will be fixed, that employment figures are going to get better, and everything will be happy happy joy joy, his actions sure don’t seem to be taking the United States in those directions.

At this point, any company who has less than 100 workers is likely to keep their employee number exactly where they are. So no additional jobs there.

Workers who for whatever reason don’t want to be vaccinated or share their vaccination status with their employer are in a really shitty position. They can either be fired on Jan 4 2022 or they can submit to a violation of their privacy and their bodily integrity to keep their jobs.

This is not freedom of choice. I don’t care how the media paints it, this is blackmail pure and simple. This is coercion and it is in direct violation of the Nuremberg Code.

The argument can be made that the COVID vaccines are in fact not vaccines, but are instead therapeutics. This argument has some merit in that the vaccines are not preventing infection, they are not conferring immunity, and their effectiveness is very short acting. Unlike say the smallpox, measles, or polio vaccines.

There’s been a lot of conflation using smallpox, measles, and polio vaccines as examples of why you should get a COVID vaccine. But let’s be realistic. Smallpox, measles, and polio vaccine confer lifelong protections against those diseases.

It’s become blatantly obvious that this is not the case with the COVID vaccines. Which means the COVID concoction is a therapeutic. It lessens the severity of the infection, but does not provide immunity.

Otherwise why would the vaccinated still have to wear masks to protect themselves? You could even argue that the COVID vaccines are on par with Hydroxychloroquine, Monoclonal Antibodies, Ivermectin, or the host of other therapeutics used in other countries. Lets not forget the 6 month booster shots either.

That starts to sound more and more like therapy, not a vaccine doesn’t it?

Smallpox, polio, and measles don’t require any additional safeguards post vaccination do they? Discussing these tried and true vaccines in the same breath with the COVID vaccine is a false equivalence.

The Biden mandate goes on. If you don’t want to take the vaccine, you must be tested once a week and you have to foot the bill for the testing, not the employer, not the government who is demanding this onerous procedure.

You, the employee, the taxpayer, the person just trying to pay your bills and put food on your table. Plus you’ll be masked up at all times in your workplace.

This is another example of blackmail perpetrated on the American People by the American Government.

As an aside, it is demonstrative of the criminality of the American Government and an excellent example of why this government is teetering on the knifes edge of failure.

Mind you, if the American government fails… The American Experiment is over. God only knows what that looks like… The nation states of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, all fighting among themselves for resources?

The OSHA mandate just keeps on giving. The employer will be fined $14,000 for each “violation” of the mandate with increasing fines for each infraction. There are also supposed to be OSHA inspectors presumably popping in for spot checks at random intervals. Can you say graft?

“Hey OSHA inspector… Here’s a couple of grand. Just call our operation good and you’ll get two grand every month, just between us okay.“

Do not labor under any illusion, graft as described, won’t or can’t happen. Ask any construction crew about building inspections, or corporation about current OSHA inspections. This shit is going on all the time. But the stakes will be higher now. The OSHA COVID police will have plenty of incentive, and leverage to demand payoffs.

“$2000, today Mr Corporation, or $14000 every time I come to see you. You pick!“

Smart business people will choose the $2000 and roll it into the cost of doing business.

You can’t blame the business people either. No one wears or keeps their mask on properly, or all the time. An OSHA inspector, at any time could walk through a building and note people taking their masks off for a variety of innocent or necessary reasons. Blowing their noses, asthmatics taking a hit from their inhalers, a diabetic needing to eat a little snack at their desk to keep their blood sugar normal, etc.

The OSHA inspectors will be shooting fish in a barrel, eventually they’ll realize that all the have to do is walk into the owners office with their clipboard, and walk out 30 seconds later with a wad of cash. Easy Money!

But Biden and OSHA estimate that this blackmail will result in 23 million more people getting “vaccinated”.

All the while, unvetted “refugees” or border crossers are allowed to move freely throughout the country will no vaccination requirements at all.

So President Biden tell us again how we’re going to have a land of milk and honey, with supply disruptions that your mandates only exacerbate? When businesses will be constantly disrupted by inspections? When your mandate dictates the firing of people adding to unemployment?

All this over a virus that 99% of the population survives, and over a vaccine that the CDC’s own data shows has the single highest contribution to the VAERS database practically ever?

Mr President with all due respect to your office… Sir, you need to resign. Your administration is more dangerous to America, her people, and prosperity, than almost anything short of a nuclear war.

Holy Hanna! Great Payday for illegals!

This is one of those articles that you say to yourself has to be from The Onion, or some other satire site.

But it’s not. The Wall Street Journal has an article here where they’re describing the latest Biden boondoggle.

The administration is floating a plan to give illegals who were affected by the “Remain in Mexico” plan up to $450,000 dollars per person.

If you’re talking about a single parent and a child… $900,000 dollars just for walking across the border. It could be more…

It could also be less, but the fact remains that’s more money than the majority of American citizens earn, working their asses off, in 10 years. You know, the union guys Biden loves so much, the average working stiff, the fast food person, Joe’s ice cream vendor… You get the picture.

Hey Kamala! I think I found your root cause of illegal immigration. People have figured out that America is loaded with suckers whose government just gives away taxpayer’s money!

Our Tax Dollars hard at work. Uh, yeah, good job Joe.

I can see that some of these people may be due some kind of compensation if the conditions they were subjected to warrant it, maybe…

But I always come back to the same fundamental questions.

Did you know that crossing the border without permission was illegal?

If you did, (as evidenced by your hiring a smuggler,) then why did you cross?

Although, I’d sneak into Mexico if I thought the Mexican government would pay me $450,000 dollars in compensation.

$450,000… Wow, that’s 7.5 times what I last made in a year. Meaning, I could ride that 450,000 comfortably for 7 years and not have to worry about working to pay my bills until I was eligible to retire. God, that would be a comfort since apparently I’m too old, and the wrong color to work at all these days.

Screw White privilege, I want some of that Brown privilege!

Throw me in a cage for a few months… PLEASE! For that kind of money there’s not a lot I wouldn’t do. Especially since I’d bet it’s going to be tax free.

With ideas like this, how can the Biden Administration wonder why they’re being booed, their polling numbers are underwater, or why #FJB or “Let’s go Brandon” have become prevalent?

Washington D.C. is full of Dumbasses!

Ya know, I miss “Mean” Tweets.

I know, everyone is saying, “What do you mean? How could you say something like that?”

Let me explain, (or bail on this post, it’s your right to not have to read something potentially disturbing.)

I miss Trumps politically incorrect, 3am on the toilet blasts at people that pissed him off. At least they were often (not always) fair targets.

Trump didn’t call out the American people like they were spoiled children as Biden has done.

Biden has offended my intelligence more times than I can count.

Trump may have been an asshole but he was an asshole from start to finish. He didn’t try to be one thing pre-election and then turn into something completely different.

He was always good for a cringeworthy tweet over my morning coffee and honestly he often started my day with a laugh.

Over time I even came to like the job he was doing and I felt secure that regardless of whose feelings he hurt, he was interested in making America a great place.

There’s an old saying, “Even a broken clock is right twice a day.” Trump was right about a lot of things.

I keep asking how it is that the Biden Administration is consistently wrong about everything. That Administration is so obviously severely broken. Yet they appear to keep blundering from disaster to disaster oblivious to the trail of destruction they’re leaving in their wake.

Trump is no longer The President. You’d think that would be the end of it, but you’d be wrong. The man is still having to dance to the Democrats tunes and they’re going after him hard.

How much of that multi-trillion dollar boondoggle of a budget will the Democrats in Congress spend in hearing after hearing in their attempts to hang something, anything around Trump’s neck?

Is this really something we, as Americans want to continue to pay for? I don’t, I have no desire to keep spending money so that Pelosi and the Squad can continue to feed their egos.

There’s no percentage in it for us. Unless you really want to have more show trials and kangaroo courts. It would be better for the Democrats to make a big pile of money and burn it, or perhaps make some donations to the poor they’re always going on about, but never really helping.

If show trials and kangaroo courts is where we’re headed, then it’s time for folks like me to find another country. Malta? Switzerland? Norway? Russia?

What’s brought this train of thought into my head, is that Trump announced he was going to start his own social media platform earlier this week.

Okay, more power to him, if he thinks he can do it better than others, I say great.

The thing is, the platform, which is not even up & running yet, has been hacked. There were no users, it was just a place on the internet. But even that was too much for some liberal hackers.

Who the fuck cares? Did hacking a new company make them feel like they were a big deal or something? Honestly, that’s like strangling a baby with it’s own umbilical cord.

It speaks volumes about the kind of people that seem to be in control of our country and says nothing about the viability or worthiness of the site.

What do these people think Trump is going to do? is he supposed to just drop dead? How can the people who hate this man so much, live with themselves? That kind of hatred 24/7 will eat you alive.

Regardless of my disagreements with some of Trumps policies, I can’t help but think of him as a patriot. Of all the people in Washington D.C. he not only didn’t make any money due to his Presidency, he lost a shit ton of his personal fortune.

There was no gain in him being The President it’s been nothing but a royal pain in his ass, before, during, and after. I’ve said it before, “If Trump was to liquidate all his US holdings, Fire all US employees, and move to a country without any extradition, I wouldn’t blame him one bit.”

Hell, at this point I’d consider moving to the same country, although in truth, I’d bet the cost of living would be way out of my price range.

I hope Trump doesn’t run in 2024. Much as I’d like to see a return of “Mean” Tweets.

I look at him and think, “Dude, you tried. A significant portion of the American people (Myself Included,) appreciate that you gave it a go. Apparently, a larger percentage of America hates your guts. Don’t put yourself through the wringer again. It’s really not worth your time or effort. I’d rather see you living well somewhere flipping the finger to the Democrats and laughing all the way to the bank.”

I want to see all the investigations into Donald Trump suspended. We clearly have bigger fish to fry in this country right now. Trump was impeached TWICE and both times all we got for our money was a big nothing.

We did learn that all the Russia claims were nothing but fevered fantasy on the part of some Democrats. By the way, we paid for this theater twice.

Once to have the lies made up, written down, and leaked. The second time we paid was to have them investigated and debunked.

At this point, I don’t want to hear anything more about Donald Trump. He’s done his time, paid the fine, let’s just let him go back to being a businessman, entertainer, and author.

I’ve come to think America is on the decline and there’s nothing short of a conflict between the polarized factions with blood running in the streets, where a “Winner take all” situation will change that.

That saddens me. But realistically I don’t see any other option.

The Attorney General of the United States of America said in testimony today before Congress, essentially that there is a two tiered justice system, and that the “Left” through their allies in Congress have weaponized the justice system… Again!

Only this time it’s worse than it was under Obama. Astonishingly, Garland made no apology for his participation. He admitted that he’d marshaled the justice system against parents speaking their minds about their children’s education as if they were domestic terrorists.

He did this based on nothing more than a letter sent to The President. A letter that the White House appears to have coached the National School Boards Association on. They made sure that the “proper” inflammatory language was used for maximum effect.

A.G. Garland also admitted there’s been no investigation as to the veracity of the National School Boards Association claims that the parents are Domestic Terrorists.

To my limited view this seems odd. I would think that when you start using words like Domestic Terrorist there would at least be some kind of confirmation.

Does this mean that “Enemies of the state” can be declared by any aggrieved party, at any time? Does this mean all you have to do is send a letter to The President about your neighbor down the block that’s not mowing their lawn, to have them thrown into gitmo?

Ohh, let me grab my enemy list. This is gonna be fun!

Where does this bullshit stop? I think at this point it won’t.

The First Amendment hasn’t been struck from The Constitution, by law. It certainly appears that it’s been struck from The Constitution in deed.

Remember, part of the First Amendment guarantees the citizens right to petition the government for redress of grievances.

Once The First Amendment is gone, we’re all going to be in service to The State. Much like the colonies were to an unfair monarch. The inherent greed and unfair treatment of the colonists by that monarch, started a little thing called The Revolution. If you’re unfamiliar with it, there are tons of books to be read on the subject.

Well now, Time for another week of Biden Follies

Please note, ‘biden’ is hereinafter defined as a “fuck-up of epic proportions.”

The beauty of this is “Biden” and “biden” are completely interchangeable.

Therefore, I can write this blog well in advance. (sort of like the media did for Trump’s mean tweets.) The President and his Democratic cronies will, without any doubt provide fodder for me to make fun of, over the weekend.

That’s the saddest thing about the people controlling the levers of power.

I can count on any or all of them to ‘biden’ it reliably.

It’s a pity they cannot be relied upon to actually do their jobs or be constructive in any way.

Last week we had all the noise about photos of border patrol riding horses and the way the photos appeared, made it look like the split reins were being used to “whip” illegals coming across the border.

Maxine Waters said, “It looked like slavery” (As if she would know…) Looks are not necessarily truth and the ignorance demonstrated by the politicians in Washington DC is astounding.

With very few exceptions, the members of Congress have never been within 1000 feet of a horse.

(This image is one that’s been peddled as horrific evidence that the border patrol was whipping an illegal. But if you really take a look at the image, the border patrol agent’s right hand is grabbing the illegals shirt. The rein is simply blowing in the wind, because that agent dropped the rein to grab the illegal.)

The shrill men & women claiming that the illegals were being whipped, are the same people who’d not have the sense to avoid horse shit with their Jimmy Chu’s or Ferragamo’s.

Cowgirl Barrel Racing At A Small Rodeo Arena

But once again, truth, or reality, mean nothing. So the biden administration is doing what it does best.

(Looking at the photos from the border, I was reminded of barrel racing. Here’s a photo of a woman getting ready to maliciously beat a barrel with her reins.

Ahem!)

Horse mounted border patrol agents are apparently going to be forbidden.

I’m sure that in the coming weeks there will be injuries to border patrol who have to walk the crowd, and there are sure to be more drownings of the illegals.

I say this because horses are flexible animals. A rider on a horse can, with relative safety walk the horse into a river and assist someone who is being swept downriver. ATVs can do some of this work, but not in 3 or 4 feet of water. From a horse, the rider can concentrate on helping someone, from an ATV not so much.

It’s obvious why too. The horse has a brain. The horse will move to better footing and maintain a position all by itself. Leaving the rider to throw a rope to someone if necessary.

Horses also have a bit of sense. When the rider tells a horse to move out of a river, or across rough terrain, the horse will pick a path that most often works. (Horses don’t like falling down any more than we do.) Which is probably why the border patrol agents chose horses over ATVs in the first place. It’s simple common sense, (a.k.a. Horse sense,) they chose the best method for the environment they operate in.

Once the horses are removed from the equation, and the injuries to both border patrol and illegals increase I’m sure we’re going to hear from Congress about how unacceptable it is that illegals are not being treated well. They’ll be remarkably silent about the border patrol officers that are laid up with injuries.

In that environment and rough terrain, I’d choose a horse.

As an aside, it’s been 50 years since I was on a horse. Horses and I don’t generally get along with each other.

I’d add one more reason for using a horse. If I got hurt, provided I could get on my horse, I know that even if I was unconscious the horse could take me back to the barn.

ATV’s aren’t nearly that smart.

We all know this political monster we’ve allowed to be created will remain silent and do nothing to help the border patrol. The evidence supports this assessment.

The current administration and our politicians will do anything to destroy our country.

In that task, they are devastatingly efficient.

Is The President out of his damn mind?

I was stunned this morning when I heard about President Biden’s vaccination mandate speech.

US President Joe Biden delivers remarks on plans to stop the spread of the Delta variant and boost Covid-19 vaccinations at the State Dinning Room of the White House, in Washington, DC on September 9, 2021. (Photo by Brendan Smialowski / AFP) (Photo by BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images)

How does this build unity?

There are a lot of reasons to get the vaccination, there are a lot of reasons not to. It is, and should be a personal choice.

Keeping your job should not factor into it. Submitting weekly to someone jabbing something up your nose isn’t going to make anybody pleasant to deal with.

Where the hell was OSHA when hepatitis was all the rage in the 90’s. Why did I have to cough up the money out of pocket to get the hepatitis vaccine to protect myself from outbreak after outbreak in various workplaces?

The President said that employers should provide paid time off for their employees to go get the vaccine. But notably he said nothing about employers paying for the employee to have a swab shoved up their nose once a week.

In my particular case that process will no doubt cause massive nose bleeds due to sinus problems. I’m not talking a little spotting, I’m talking gushing like you’ve got a broken nose or are going to bleed out.

Problems by the way that my former employer couldn’t seem to be able to schedule a day or two of my earned vacation time to allow me to address.

It’s telling that I worked for them for 3 years and when they laid me off the HR person commented, looking at my final paycheck, that I hadn’t used any vacation time. Just sayin… There are a lot of very petty managers in some “Low Skill” jobs who can’t be bothered to approve scheduled time off for an employee 6 months in advance, but they have no trouble scheduling their own vacations throughout the year. Again, Just sayin…

To hear a sitting President of the United States of America say, “This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Is a completely WTF moment.

“We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,” Yeah, Biden said that too. WHAT? If they’re vaccinated why do they need protection? Isn’t that what the vaccination is supposed to do?

“If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my powers as president to get them out of the way,” Biden said that too.

What the hell does that mean? Does he think he’s going to somehow annex troublesome states into some mega state that is directly under Federal control in Washington? Will he violate The Posse Comitatus Act by deploying the US Military in this “Mega State” to enforce his will?

This is the kind of thing that brought about the civil war.

80 million people (by Joes count) just unlocked their gun safes.

In the coming weeks, he is going to wonder why the FBI is doing 100% more background checks than they already are. Ammunition manufacturers are on the one hand saying, “Well shit, we’ll never keep up now.” and on the other hand they’re thinking that the shareholders are going to be very pleased with the end of year results.

I’ve never been so angry at a President in my life. (I watched Nixon leave office like a criminal, I lived through the Carter years, and the Clinton scandal!)

On balance, additional articles are being published that say this mandate will probably not be on the books until sometime next year (if at all).

Perhaps by that time we’ll all have figured out that Joe was just posturing. Maybe if we’re lucky he’ll be retired or impeached and we’ll just be dealing with Kamala’s incompetence.

This is not my country anymore.

The President is essentially saying that we should no longer have the right to decide what goes into our body and still be allowed to have a job. How long then sir until mandatory DNA testing of fetuses in the womb to determine if they are worthy to be born? Will we then, force women to have abortions? Will we begin selective breeding programs with our population? There was a little man once in Germany who thought that was a good idea.

If We The People, are reduced to the status of “Property of the State” why shouldn’t our government begin a breeding program? If we exist only to serve, then we needn’t have free will or creativity. The government could do quite well with a population that was physically strong, disposable, prolific, minimally educated, and which took commands without question.

The dystopian nightmare I describe above is obviously hyperbole. I use it to illustrate how different the America of today, appears from the America I was raised to believe in, for people like myself.

Honestly, there are times when I’d swear I’m living in a science fiction novel. 

What happened to following the science?

I do not discount the seriousness of COVID, I do question the efficacy of the vaccines. That is my right. COVID in a healthy population is 99.8% survivable. The CDC’s own data bear that out. 

The numbers presented yesterday by Jen Psaki, 140,000 new cases and 1000 deaths per day, using simple math, the result is a death rate of 0.00714286. That number is statistically zero. Anybody should be able to do that math. 

That being said, the death rate is probably even lower, because not all of the 140,000 detected cases are likely to result in anything more than a slight cough or fever.  The end result of which will be broad ranging immunity to COVID.

In 2019 the United States averaged 8,159 deaths per day. Not to minimize the loss to family members of those people, but death is a natural event. Yet we have the White House Press Secretary touting 1000 deaths per day as some kind of national emergency. Where is the science there? Where is the logic?

When the creator of mRNA techniques says that his work in the field was not useful for vaccines due to the possibility of mRNA giving rise to variants and should therefore not be used to create vaccines, is he not the authority on the subject?

If we’re supposed to “Follow the science” I ask the simple question, how is The President’s proposed mandate following any science?

I am not chattel.

I am not a slave.

I am a free person, whose rights are protected under The Bill of Rights and The Constitution of the United States of America. The government works for the people, not the other way around.

It’s well past time to metaphorically grab the government by its collar and say BAD GOVERNMENT! BAD! Then Rub their nose in the pile of shit on the living room floor. To remind them who’s the boss.

I’d say We The People start that process with an impeachment right now.
