Episode 416 – It Wasn’t a Mandate!

We knew this idiotic idea was going to come out and guess who brought it up.

The border crisis just keeps getting worse and, with everything going wrong, we need to remember this is happening.

And Democrats feel empowered by the results of the California Recall election so prepare for more tyranny.

 

I Knew This Was Coming

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is calling for the extension of enhanced federal unemployment insurance through 2022.

If you don’t know what that is, the federal government enhanced the state unemployment benefits by $300 per week for an extra $1200 per month. People who were unemployed were making about $3000 a month. The enhanced unemployment benefits ended on Labor Day. Some states ended the benefits in the summer because no one was looking for a job. This is a problem throughout the country where there are 10 million available jobs. This is also causing major production and delivery problems since truckers don’t want to work which is part of the reason we have inflation.

Don’t forget, inflation is cause by a lot of demand with not enough supply. Just to give an update, inflation was at 5.3% in August which is .3% less than projected. That’s good. What’s bad is grocery prices are up 8.7% from August 2020.

Anyway, AOC said:

“I’ve been very disappointed on both sides of the aisle that we’ve just simply allowed pandemic unemployment assistance to completely lapse when we are clearly not fully recovered from the cost effects of the pandemic. I simply could not allow this to happen without at least trying.”

Like I said, there are 10.1 million jobs available with only 8.7 million people who can work and are unemployed. So there are more jobs available than people unemployed. Democrats have said that the reason people are not working is their fear of the China virus. But a a recent poll showed that 13% of Americans who are employable, that’s 1 in 8, have actually turned jobs down to continue receiving unemployment benefits.

Not surprising. Why work when the government will pay you more for sitting on your ass all day. I know people who do this. They’re getting fatter but they don’t have to work.

The reality is AOC is pushing for something else: Universal Basic Income. She has made a platform of this. She wants the government to pay people not to work. Is it because she loves people and, like she said in her stupid little video, give people more time to write poetry and crap. That’s not it. She wants people to be dependent on the government. When people depend on the government, the government has more control and they can steal more money from people who are productive (raise taxes) and take away our freedoms (free speech, freedom of religion, right to bear arms).

When a bunch of people depend on the government, then the power goes to the government. That’s why she’s also for continuing the rent moratorium too.

She’s got some problems though I doubt anything is going to come about it. That $30K ticket for the Met Gala may have been a violation of ethics according to House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy. Guess what? She doesn’t care and neither do the Democrats.

Don’t Forget This

With increased inflation, the Afghanistan crisis, the recall election in California, the terrible job numbers, the COVID vaccine mandates, the $3.5 trillion budget proposal and the new tax increases in the news, it is easy to forget the border crisis

Fox News reported:

“There were more than 200,000 migrant encounters at the southern border in August, a DHS source told Fox News on Wednesday, the second month in a row where the number has been over the 200,000 mark as migrants continue to attempt to enter the U.S. Additionally, the 208,887 number for August represents a 317% increase over last August 2020 which saw 50,014 encounters — and a 233% increase over August 2019, where there were 62,707 amid that year’s border crisis.”

This non-crisis is going to become a crisis no matter what Jen Psaki says.

There are so many people crossing the border, the Border Patrol cannot arrest and process them all. In Texas, Bill Melguin of Fox News tweeted a picture of 4200 illegal aliens standing under a bridge, waiting to be arrested.

Melguin tweeted:

“Our drone is currently over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, where Border Patrol & law enforcement sources tell us over 4,200 migrants are waiting to be apprehended after crossing into US. Local BP holding facilities are overwhelmed and over capacity. A source on the ground sent us this video showing thousands of migrants under the international bridge in Del Rio, TX with more showing up constantly. We’re told the situation there is getting worse every day and the numbers are growing by the hour.”

Former DHS Secretary under Trump said this thing is unsustainable and the border cannot be guarded. Human and drug smuggling is going on without any resistance. Wolf said:

“The men and women of federal law enforcement cannot continue to deal with these crisis-level numbers. They are already overwhelmed and overburdened. The breakdown is coming. Hundreds have been pulled off the line, from defending and safeguarding our borders, to process and care for the flood of illegal aliens apprehended at the border. Cartels and smugglers have taken advantage of our weakness, with record numbers of not just people, but narcotics, pouring across an increasingly undefended border.

“President Biden simply isn’t listening, and I fear that we are staring down the prospect of a preventable disaster stemming from this crisis. Sadly, just as we saw in Afghanistan in recent weeks, it seems that for this administration, politics trumps national security.”

But there is another issue these prophets of homeland security are pushing. We don’t know who’s coming over.

It is not just people from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador or Guatemala. It is also people from China, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Haiti, Somalia and Afghanistan. This open border policy is becoming a terror threat. And this has become magnified with the Taliban taking over Afghanistan, the reemergence of ISIS and al Qaeda and financing of these groups by China, Russia and Iran.

The pictures were from a drone Fox News flew over. Shocking, the FAA issued a Temporary Flight Restriction to stop Fox News from flying their drone. When asked, the FAA said it was because of a “known security risk”.

I see bad things happening in the near future.

This Wasn’t a Mandate

Gavin Newsom wins the the recall election and he doesn’t get it.

Throughout the campaign. the Democrats never brought up what Gavin Newsom did right by California or defend his policies. He made this election about Republicans trying to take over. They made it about Trumpism. And, because he won, the Democrats, especially Gavin Newsom, believes that this was a mandate and he now wants to do more of what he’s done. That’s right. He thinks the people want high taxes, homelessness and high crime. He thinks the people want heavy COVID restrictions, mask and vaccine mandates.

Los Angeles and San Francisco want to implement complete vaccine mandates for anyone 12 or over and prove it when you want to go anywhere including restaurants, sports venues, certain stores and government buildings. Yes, you can have a test but rapid tests are no longer free and cost between $100-$200. Who can afford that? This is basically forcing a person to get the vaccine or not have a life. How long is it going to be before they don’t allow one to go to a grocery store? They start threatening your ability to buy food?

These are what Gavin Newsom and the Democrats say was “mandated” by the recall election.

All Democrats think that. Democrats want California to be the blueprint for all the states including Texas and Florida. This is why Conservative news outlets like OAN, Blaze TV, Newsmax, Daily Wire and Fox News are talking of cold civil war and succession. Problem is Republicans are good with separating with Democrats. But Democrats are not good with Republicans separating from Democrats. They don’t want to lose power. They want submission.

The fight is just starting.

Here We Go

Arizona sued the federal government on Tuesday over President Joe Biden’s sweeping order to mandate vaccinations for federal employees and contractors as well as fine businesses that don’t enforce strict COVID testing for unvaccinated workers.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a statement:

“The federal government cannot force people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The Biden Administration is once again flouting our laws and precedents to push their radical agenda. There can be no serious or scientific discussion about containing the spread of COVID-19 that doesn’t begin at our southern border.

“Under our Constitution, the President is not a king who can exercise this sort of unbridled power unilaterally. And even George III wouldn’t have dreamed that he could enact such sweeping policies by royal decree alone.”

The lawsuit states:

“Biden’s vaccine mandate violates the Equal Protection Clause by favoring migrants that have crossed into the country illegally over legal U.S. citizens. The Biden Administration allows migrants to decline the vaccine, protecting their freedom and bodily autonomy more than American citizens.

“Even President Biden’s own Chief of Staff Ronald Klain acknowledged the federal government lacks the legal authority to impose a COVID-19 mandate but is doing so anyway with this ‘ultimate workaround. OSHA doing this vaxx (sic) mandate as an emergency workplace safety rule is the ultimate workaround for the federal govt to require vaccinations.”

Be prepared for more lawsuits like this. This mandate is unconstitutional and the Biden administration knows it. So they are going in another direction.

The Biden administration has decided to ration the monoclonal antibody therapies for Conservative states like Florida and Texas. By the way, Florida has a very high vaccination rate. Why is he doing this? Punishment for not complying!

When asked about it, Jen Psaki said that they didn’t have an unlimited supply and people could get vaccinated if they are worried.

What a warm, compassionate human being. This shows that this whole China virus is political. This also should show everyone how Joe Biden is a sociopathic bastard. He doesn’t care about those people he left in Afghanistan. They can die. He doesn’t care about Americans is they live in a state that is red. They can die.

They don’t care about us. We must bend the knee.

Racist

A pair of $1,190 sweatpants from tony fashion house Balenciaga are being slammed on social media as racist and a prime example of cultural appropriation.

The “Trompe-L’Oeil” sweatpants come with built-in boxer shorts that are designed to peak out above the waistband — mimicking the style popularized in hip hop culture.

Couple of things here:

  • This is not cultural appropriation unless it’s racist to be a con serving a time in prison and want to have sex with other prisoners.
  • Blacks whites and Hispanics all do this. When I told Josie about this story, she said a lot of Hispanics do this.
  • Who in the hell would spend $1200 for a pair of pants. Jeez, make them yourself.
  • Dude, they’re pants!
