Businesses are “pleading” with the Biden administration to delay a plan to mandate businesses with 100 or more employees require vaccines or weekly testing over concerns that, if the rule goes into force before the holiday season, businesses could see a “mass exodus” of workers when many need them most, per CNBC. Labor unions are already voicing concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which was announced in September. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is in charge of drafting and distributing the mandate under the guise of “emergency powers” awarded to the agency at the height of the COVID-19...

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice will be launching new efforts involving court-appointed monitors who oversee police departments across the United States, expanding already-existing tools the DOJ uses to force departments’ compliance with its standards. During a speech at the 2021 International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference on Monday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the expansion, asserting that more is needed than current consent decrees, monitorships and investigations of police departments. Garland said a review conducted by Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta led to the DOJ establishing 19 new actions that are designed to improve the “efficiency and efficacy”...

Republican governors and everyday Americans pledged to fight President Biden’s decision to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or regular testing at large companies, saying it amounted to a brazen “assault” on private businesses. Social media users vowed to buck the new rules, using the hashtag #IWillNotComply to air their frustration. “With his illegal, unconstitutional & tyrannical federal vaccine mandate, Biden has now gone full authoritarian. It is time to speak out & stand up before it’s too late. Patriots must hold freedom rallies across the country. We can no longer remain silent,” conservative radio host Jeff Kuhner said. The Libertarian Party of...

Concerned parents delivered fiery monologues during a recent Natomas Unified School District meeting in Sacramento, California. Many of the parents present at the meeting demanded accountability for the "Antifa teacher" situation involving Gabriel Gipe, the AP government teacher who said he had a mission of turning his students into communist "revolutionaries." Gipe was exposed by Project Veritas, which released an undercover video of the high school teacher admitting, "I have 180 days to turn [students] into revolutionaries." The Antifa teacher said he needed to "scare the f***" out of kids to motivate them politically, and offered students extra credit to...

A young female physician yells through a megaphone. Physicians who publicly spread misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic could be sanctioned by the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), including potentially losing board certification, the organization said Thursday. "Making public statements that are directly contrary to prevailing medical evidence can constitute unprofessional conduct and may be subject to review by ABEM. Should ABEM determine that a physician is promulgating inaccurate information that is contrary to the interests of patients and that adversely impacts public safety, ABEM may withdraw or deny certification for that physician," they stated. This warning echoes a statement...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is aiming to grant full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine by Labor Day or sooner, according to a new report. Citing people involved in the effort, the New York Times reported late Tuesday that the FDA was speeding up its approval process as the country faces a new wave of infections from the more highly contagious delta variant. The FDA now has an unofficial target date of early September, the Times reported. Previous speculation for full approval had ranged from early fall to next January.

President Joe Biden endorsed coronavirus vaccine mandates on Thursday, using some of his strongest rhetoric to date to encourage private companies to require employees to get the vaccine. “In addition to providing incentives to encourage vaccination, it’s time to impose requirements on key groups to make sure they’re vaccinated,” Biden said at an event at the White House, endorsing the idea of private businesses everywhere requiring their employees to get vaccinated. “I’d like to see them continue to move in that direction,” he said, about private businesses. He said he asked the Justice Department to issue an opinion on the...

As Anthony Fauci, the US’s leading infectious diseases official, grappled with the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic last spring, he was pulled in many directions.

The CDC’s recent relaxing of mask mandates for vaccinated people has left many COVID doomsayers frantically wondering what to do next. After all, pesky anti-vax Trumplodytes will just lie, say they’re vaccinated and get away with not wearing masks. Thus, crazed feminist Jill Filipovic proposed a mandated Vaccine passport, a "QR code" or something, so we can know who has gotten the jab or not. Isn’t the left just replete with earnest little fascists? Filipovic’s totalitarian sentiments arose in response to the CDC and President Geezer removing mask mandates for vaccinated people. Of course the question as to who can...

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Bill Gates owns a minimum of 242,000 acres of U.S. farmland in Washington, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, California and multiple other states Gates has a big vision for all that land, but unfortunately it doesn’t involve organic, biodynamic or regenerative farming methods, which are needed to heal ecosystems and produce truly sustainable, nourishing food for future generations Gates, along with Pat Brown, founder of imitation meat company Impossible Foods, supports GMOs, agricultural chemicals and technology as the future of farming Gates believes switching to synthetic beef is the solution to reducing methane emissions; Impossible Foods was co-funded by Google,...

Joe Biden's appearance at his virtual earth summit this week with world leaders has been a nonstop embarassment. According to the hostile Russian television propaganda outlet Ruptly.tv, via Twitter, Biden presented this prepossessing image in his public message to the world, through some post-event talk show host. Far as I know, the video doesn't appear to be manipulated. The Russkis just know a ridiculous shot when they see one and all they needed to do was spread it around.Bad as that looks, the worst of his appearance was in the content of his speeches and plans for us, all of...

Charlotte, NC — On Saturday, new Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made headlines with a tweet about President Joe Biden and his plans for red meat. In the tweet, Boebert suggests that Joe Biden is targeting American’s diets and attempting to limit their red meat consumption.The tweet received a lot of backlash from those on the radical left since she made it. One user said it was an outright lie and that Joe Biden has made no such claims about limiting red meat. It’s no secret that all of the radicals want to protect Dementia Joe as they march us toward...

"On the personal front, I am doing a lot more," Gates wrote. "I am driving electric cars. I have solar panels at my house. I eat synthetic meat (some of the time!). I buy green aviation fuel. I pay for direct air capture by Climeworks. I help finance electric heat pumps in low cost housing to replace natural gas."

If you think government and corporations have too much power now, just wait until they take control of the world’s number one energy source: the sun.Evil Mr. Rogers impersonator, Bill Gates is one of the richest billionaires on the planet. He should be most famous for being a very cutthroat businessman and stealing ideas from people like Steve Jobs about computers and operating systems while using his connections and marketing to take over the PC market a few decades ago. However, for some inexplicable reason, he is also now seen as the world’s savior–for everything.Whether it comes to climate change...

What a coincidence. The governors of Wyoming and Colorado have each designated Saturday, March 20 as a holiday of sorts. And both holidays have something to do with meat. But that’s where the similarity ends. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, whose partner is a longtime vegan, declared Saturday “MeatOut Day” to promote meatless diets to his constituents. Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon, whose partner is a longtime not-vegan, declared Saturday “Hearty Meat Day” to promote the consumption of meat products to his constituents. Gordon went a step further, however, as he encouraged citizens of Colorado to join in on the Hearty Meat...

GOP rallies around meat industry in response to attack by Colorado's Jared Polis... The red meat wars have hit America. Republican governors representing heartland states are uniting in support of the cattle industry in response to calls from Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado, to move his state away from eating meat. The herd of Republican governors of Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming, and Montana has taken issue with Polis's call for Saturday, March 20, to be observed as "MeatOut Day," during which residents are asked to replace meat with a plant-based alternative. All four Republican governors issued proclamations in response,...

Meat In or Meat Out? Several rural Colorado communities reject Gov. Polis’ proclamation by: Lisa D'Souza Posted: Mar 19, 2021 WELD COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Saturday marks Colorado’s first ever “Meat Out Day”, a proclamation ushered in by Gov. Jared Polis to encourage people to explore the benefits of plant-based diets. But not everyone is happy about the concept. An estimated two dozen rural counties are rejecting the proclamation, celebrating “Meat In Day” instead. Weld Co. commissioners say they feel like the governor’s proclamation is an insult to Colorado’s ranchers and farmers, noting that Weld Co. brings in about $2...

Using space-age technology to make “meat” out of thin air is science, not fiction. A new entrant to the edible protein scene, the Berkeley-based startup Air Protein makes a meat alternative using NASA-inspired fermentation technology to transform CO2 — what we exhale into the air — into a complete edible protein. While other well-known meat alternative companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat make plant-based protein from soy and peas, Air Protein is the first to make “air-based” protein by farming carbon from the air with microbes. The startup’s recent $32 million Series A funding round, closed in January and...

GraceLife Church held an in-person service at an undisclosed location Sunday after Alberta Health Services (AHS) erected metal fencing around the building last week for violating COVID-19 health orders. The Parkland County church posted a video to YouTube on Monday of the service, which was led by pastor James Coates. During the service, Coates described the actions by AHS as having “jailed” the church’s facility. AHS with assistance from RCMP shuttered the building last Wednesday after months of defiance of provincial health orders. It’s unclear where exactly the church held its Sunday service but one performer on the video described...
