The CEO of America's largest bank has threatened to dismiss about 450 of its New York City-based employees who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus. JPMorgan chairman and chief executive Jamie Dimon said this week that employees working at the company's Manhattan headquarters cannot come to the office if they have not received their jabs, adding those who remain unvaccinated will not have the option to work remotely indefinitely. 'To go to the office you have to be vaxxed and if you aren't going to get vaxxed you won't be able to work in that office,' Dimon, who has...

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings (as said by Tyrion Lannister) The recent social media banishment of Dr. Robert Malone, a Covidstan dissident who likely presented more of a threat than our Big Tech overlords were willing to stomach thanks to his expertise and contribution to the development of mRNA technology, has again brought leftist censorship to the forefront of the public consciousness. Malone, who joined other prominent figures like feminist author Naomi Wolf,...

"There are many genuine threats facing humanity. None of them require authoritarianism or the infringement of civil liberties. A recent study published in American Political Science Review, a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Cambridge University, begins with a teasing question: “Is authoritarian power ever legitimate?” For many, the answer is clearly no, concedes the study’s author—Ross Mittiga, an assistant professor of political theory at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. But Mittiga, in the abstract to the study, suggests otherwise: ..."

NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s attorney general has issued subpoenas to former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children in connection with an ongoing civil investigation into the family’s business practices, according to a court filing Monday. Attorney General Letitia James’ office said in the filing that it is seeking testimony and documents from Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump “in connection with an investigation into the valuation of properties owned or controlled” by Trump and his company, the Trump Organization.

“When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health, that of the family, but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community. And in other words, you become a dead end to the virus.” ~Dr. Fauci, Face the Nation, May 16, 2021 “Negative efficacy.” Get used to that term, because every day more data suggests we are already in the vaccination twilight zone of all pain and no gain – just as with the lockdowns. It is tearing humanity apart. COVID fascism is the most serious human rights threat...

A fourth shot of the COVID-19 vaccine may be in your future, but it’s too early to tell right now, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “Before we start talking about a fourth shot, it will be very important for us to determine the durability of protection, particularly against severe disease for the third shot booster of an mRNA and the second shot of a J&J,” Fauci said. “Right now, we don’t have that information.” Fauci said that COVID-19 cases are still surging throughout the country. More protection — which...

NYPD officers harassed a family and forced them out of a restaurant for not having Covid vaccine papers. New York Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio have imposed vaccine mandates for healthcare workers and public and private school employees. De Blasio also imposed a vaccine passport system for restaurants, gyms, theaters and bars. NYPD officers are now De Blasio’s Gestapo vax passport enforcement arm.

Millions of unvaccinated Americans were informed by President Joe Biden they deserve to be punished for failing to get a COVID-19 shot but a black conservative who did just that says it sure sounds like Jim Crow-like discrimination. “Joe Biden is on TV telling people you're the problem if you're not vaccinated,” Derrick Hollie, of Project 21, says of Biden's now-infamous address to the nation in the fall. “You're the issue. You're the reason why we can't get through this. That is so false.” An estimated 80 million Americans were told by their president in September they are the reason...

One of the ways Germans who refuse to take the mandated inoculations are being ostracized is that yellow painted signs reading, "DO NOT BUY FROM UNVAXXED" have appeared on store windows in the Central European country. In response, some protestors have started wearing yellow badges shaped like the Jewish Star of David with the inscription "unvaccinated," drawing a comparison to the Nazis' persecution of Jews during World War II. "I've said for almost a year that there are some haunting parallels between the 1930s and the 21st century here with this COVID crisis," comments Jan Markell, founder and director of...

When it comes to COVID Anthony Fauci has taken more positions than can be found in the Kama Sutra. A nice list can be found here. Now he has added one more. This time he's gone political. Most of us knew that he was a liberal wolf in a non-partisan doctor's garb and now we're validated. He's blaming Trump for vaccine hesitance. On Monday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the White House, said former President Donald Trump had been "poisoning the well" against vaccines for a long time prior to his recent public support of the jab. Fauci,...

The apoplectic response to Joe Manchin’s rebuke of Biden’s Build Back Better deal in general, and specifically, their reaction to losing the climate change agenda within it, points toward the original intent of COVID-19 in the first place. In this tweet, communist stenographer and narrative engineer Sam Stein (Politico/MSNBC) says the quiet part out loud: Point One – The “Build Back Better” agenda was never about anything except radical climate change legislation. Once you accept that, now admitted, baseline, things start to become much clearer. Point Two – The “Build Back Better” phrase came from the World Economic Forum and...

With COVID-19 cases once again soaring in New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy said the state could soon face new restrictions in response to a deadly pandemic that is once more growing. “My fear is we’re going to be getting back to capacity limits at some point,” Murphy said during an unrelated press event at Port Newark on Friday, where he warned “this thing is still with us and sadly, the numbers are still going up.”

By Andrew Chung (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected challenges brought by a group of Christian doctors and nurses and an organization that promotes vaccine skepticism to New York's refusal to allow religious exemptions to the state's mandate that healthcare workers be vaccinated against COVID-19. Acting in two cases, the justices denied emergency requests for an injunction requiring the state to permit religious exemptions while litigation over the mandate's legality continues in lower courts. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have granted the injunction. The Supreme Court previously rejected other challenges...

The owner of a wine and beer bar who openly flouted Gov. Tim Walz's executive orders to shut down last winter during the COVID-19 pandemic was found guilty of six criminal misdemeanor counts Thursday by a Freeborn County jury. A jury of three women and three men took only an hour of deliberation to convict Lisa Hanson, the 57-year-old bar owner, after a three-day trial punctuated by Hanson's repeated attempts to argue that Walz's orders were unconstitutional. Judge Joseph Bueltel followed the reading of the verdict with a scathing denunciation of Hanson's behavior, explaining why the governor's orders were legal....

People currently aged 14 and under will never be able to legally purchase tobacco. New Zealand has announced it will outlaw smoking for the next generation, so that those who are aged 14 and under today will never be legally able to buy tobacco. New legislation means the legal smoking age will increase every year, to create a smoke-free generation of New Zealanders, associate health minister Dr Ayesha Verrall said on Thursday. “This is a historic day for the health of our people,” she said. ...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The owner of a bar in Albert Lea was found guilty Thursday of six criminal misdemeanor charges and sentenced to 90 days in jail for defying Gov. Tim Walz’s executive orders to close her business last winter. The jury found Lisa Hanson, 57, guilty after deliberating for an hour, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported. Prosecutors had asked that Hanson be fined $500 and jailed for several days, but Judge Joseph Bueltel gave her a 90-day jail sentence and a $1,000 fine, saying he wanted to send a message to people who violate executive orders. “You wanted to make...

CommentaryEnvision a country in which “the state runs capitalism to serve the interests of most people” and our politicians won’t let “rich capitalists stand in the way of doing what they believe is best for the most people of the country.”That sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez describing their far-left ideal for America. It’s not that far removed from the Marxist maxim that predates Karl Marx himself of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” and it goes completely against the free-market principles that drive successful investors and entrepreneurs in the Land...

Hatred of vaccine dissidents expresses itself first in marginalization and demonization. Then it advances to punishment. The larger end game appears to have little to do with public health.Twentieth-century authoritarian regimes were obsessed with cleansing the “unfit” from the national body. A revival of that toxic urge seeps toward us like gas under a threshold. The leakage is global. Nevertheless, recent news out of Germany provides a unique lesson in the tenacity of a malignant ideology. In mid-November, Germany’s Euthanasia Society declared COVID vaccination a requirement for physician-assisted suicide. Citing public health concerns, the nation that identified “life-unworthy-of-life” (Lebensunwertes Leben)...

Quarantine centers in Germany have included prisons, and Australian authorities have resorted to isolated camps under 24-hour surveillance.. More than a dozen people have been forcibly placed in government isolation facilities in Germany while hundreds of people have been held in similar Australian centers as Western countries continue to ramp up the use of forced quarantine centers in the name of stopping COVID-19. A recent survey by German newspaper Welt am Sonntag found that at least 15 people have been taken to quarantine facilities in Germany’s 10 largest cities since the beginning of the year. The 15 individuals, who allegedly...
