WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio announced Wednesday he would force a vote on the Senate floor of his new legislation to ban the re-implementation of mask mandates on public transportation and in schools. In a Wednesday press release, Vance’s office stated that the senator intends to force a vote Thursday on his “Freedom to Breathe Act,” which would bar the Biden administration from imposing any new “federal mask mandates for domestic air travel, public transit systems, and primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools.”(Snip)The law would not forbid the reimposition of mask mandates in hospitals or nursing homes.

Comments:

Senator Vance is asking Congress to prevent the decrees from returning at least until December 31, 2024.

Promise I will respect your wishes to wear a mask but I also expect you to respect my wishes when I don't ever mask up again. Enough of this tyranny.

There is no chance this legislation becomes law. But Vance is forcing the Politburo to go on the record.

I knew I liked this guy! Can he stand next to Diane Feinstein and tell her to vote "yes"? I successfully navigated the California mask mandate by having a note from my doctor. I got exempted everywhere, including most hospitals. A few made me wear the stupid plastic face shield as I walked through the public areas. LOL. I referred to my note as, "My Golden Ticket", in homage to "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". That movie made more sense than the reality we were living through.

Mask reimposition is a Dem ploy to repeat their 2020 election strategy: Get electorate flooded with mail-in ballots. Harvest, Harvest, Harvest ballotses. Fill in the empty ones for Joe BrainDead. Destroy votes for Trump.

J.D. Vance is one of the few worthwhile representatives. Why did most of our representatives run for office. Other than the power and glory of the title, that is.

Why does he have to do some political acrobatics to force this vote? Because his party leader in the Senate leads only himself (and those who are scared of him - or as greedy as he is) to the trough again and again, not caring about "We the People." If McConnell LITERALLY "had a mind" to do it -- this would advance to the floor with top priority.

Never. Any retail place that requires a mask, I will turn around and walk away. I don’t like Amazon but will order my stuff from them before I will submit to wearing a mask in brick and mortar stores.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has once again condemned the rise of “globalism,” stating that it prepares humanity “for the political rise of the Antichrist.” In an August 24 interview with a French-language news outlet, Viganò commented on the rise of “globalism” and its impact upon society. Re-issuing a denouncement of globalism which he has consistently made, the archbishop linked corruption in society to corruption in the Catholic Church:(Snip)Continuing, the archbishop painted a link between globalism and satanism, arguing that they are almost synonymous. “The essence of globalism is satanic, and the essence of satanism is globalist.”

“When God tells you what to do you cannot hesitate.”(Snip)The power of these 10 words threatens the most powerful individuals and institutions on the planet, and what might otherwise be their total control over governments. These words express a principle that an authoritarian government cannot tolerate. They proclaim “Government is not the ultimate sovereign. God is the ultimate sovereign. And if you challenge my God and make me choose, I will obey God, and I will defy you.” There’s plenty out there to defy these days. One big piece at a time, the whole world is coming under the control of fewer and fewer people.

Feminist author and journalist Naomi Wolf has doubled down on her assertion that the Pfizer COVID mRNA injection was known to be lethal to unborn babies before being rolled out, declaring that the company’s own documents show it “murders babies in the womb.”(Snip)The Pfizer document revealed that in its clinical trials, “adverse events” occurred in over 54 percent of cases of “maternal exposure” to the vaccine (including through intercourse, inhalation, and skin contact); 53 women (21 percent) in its trial suffered spontaneous abortions “following BNT162b2 (Pfizer mRNA) vaccination”; and six premature labor and delivery cases resulted in two newborn deaths.

The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts--in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress. Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes”--intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier’s 30-foot-tall panels--hauling in about $2 million.(Snip)Up to $300 million worth of taxpayer-funded wall components have been left to rust since Biden came to office, Republicans have said.(Snip)But GovPlanet is under strict instructions to keep the border-wall connection hush-hush.

A requirement that voters present a valid photo ID when they show up at the polls is unfortunately working exactly as the Republicans who passed it last year intended. The Lorain County Board of Elections on Wednesday discarded the provisional ballots of 160 voters because 39 didn’t have a photo ID and 121 had expired IDs when they showed up to vote in the special election Aug. 8. “That makes me very uncomfortable,” Democratic board member Anthony Giardini said. “These people weren’t cheating.” (Snip) The board’s other Democratic member, Inez James, called it “voter suppression.”

Criminalizing Politics In The Trump Indictments 5 replies

I’ve made the point repeatedly that both the D.C. and Georgia indictments of Donald Trump start from a premise that isn’t true--that an attempt to “overturn” an election in and of itself is criminal. The means by which an election is overturned may be criminal, but the end goal is not. With regard to the D.C. indictment, I questioned Where is the crime?(Snip)The core of the alleged crime is disruption of the electoral count, but that took place because of the riot, and Trump has not been indicted (yet) for inciting the riot.

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday called on his party to turn away from what he described as a growing threat of populism led by his former White House boss Donald Trump and “his imitators.” In a speech delivered at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, Pence said that “Republican voters face a choice” between conservative principles and the rising populist movement within the party. In his sharpest language to date against the Trump wing of the GOP, Pence said that the populists were substituting limited government and traditional values for “an agenda stitched together by little else than personal grievances and performative outrage.”

Biden, who is 80 and is turning 81 in November, continues to be the oldest serving president in U.S. history. Should Democrats win again in 2024, he will be 82 before he is sworn into a potential second term and would be 86 at the end of it.

At a town hall meeting in Manhattan, Adams said New York City is receiving 10,000 migrants per month. “Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did

Austin, Texas— Texas must move a large floating barrier that Gov. Greg Abbott placed on the river between the U.S. and Mexico this summer as part of the Republican’s escalating attempts to stop migrants from crossing America’s southern border, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge David Ezra stopped short of ordering Texas to dismantle the wrecking-ball sized buoys on the Rio Grande but called them a threat to safety and relationships between the neighboring countries. His preliminary injunction instructs Texas, for now, to move the barrier out of the water and onto the riverbank by Sept. 15.

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that Donald Trump is civilly liable for defamatory statements he made about writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when she went public with claims he had raped her decades earlier. Judge Lewis Kaplan, as part of that ruling, said the upcoming trial for Carroll's lawsuit against Trump will only deal with the question of how much the former president should pay her in monetary damages for defaming her. Normally, a jury would determine at trial whether a defendant is liable for civil damages claimed by a plaintiff. But Kaplan found that Carroll was entitled to a partial summary judgment
