"I doubt whether, if passed, this would withstand constitutional scrutiny. It’s about the kookiest bill I’ve seen yet, and it reinforces the fact that we’re not done yet, not by a long shot."
This is insane, "THEY" just get to punish people, scare people, use coercion and duress to FORCE their will, then WE THE PEOPLE, just get to sit back and take it until it gets challenged, and goes through the Courts, where it is eventually found to be ILLEGAL, then "THEY" are not punished, and then "THEY" mandate something else, and the process repeats itself.
This won't end until those responsible are held personally accountable and pay a heavy price for violating people's constitutional rights while insanely enriching themselves in the process.
Seems like democrats are doing everything in their power to ensure that republicans have the legislative majorities necessary to hold whatever kind of kangaroo courts they desire following the midterm elections. The only question remains whether they will step up and actually punish those responsible for this disaster. My guess is that establishment republicans won’t be much more willing to upset the apple cart than establishment democrats have been. The fleecing of America will continue as scheduled, unfortunately…
Not to mention, even our small legal victories have been based on procedure and technicalities, not basic human rights. It's almost like the court system is against us too and there's no way out within legal means! 😅
With a handle like Napoleon, who should definitely know that there are other ways besides "civil" disobedience... We're just not at a place where people are desperate enough yet. But it's only a matter of time...
The thought has occurred to me that the jab fanatics, in the deep recesses of their irrational leftist minds, may have realized that they might have made a mistake in taking the shot. So now to compensate for that possible error, they want to force all of the non-jabbers to take the shots so that the non-jabbers have to join them in the possible error of their way.
Rhode Island is a very small state people will just leave if unvaccinated. Then we can truly track effects of vaccines Bc the odd illnesses will start and all will be vaccinated. You would have to be missing neurons to vaccinate now.
I live in New England- Massachusetts specifically and there are plenty of Patriots here willing to fight and if you have seen.. stand outside the Mayor or Governors home and chant “Freedom”!!!!🗽🇺🇸Till they finally hear us and reverse 🔄 moronic and diabolical mandates!!! We are the Home of the Revolution ⚔️🇺🇸⚔️🇺🇸 And we are ready to fight for our future generations!!!
Amen! Born in Boston, and though it's been many years, one does not forget our history ~ ever ~ and Longfellow's poem has been a steady beat in my mind for some weeks now. A long poem, with an immortal story, ending with a declaration by the poet that the people will NEVER forget Paul Revere's ride on April 18th of '75, as he galloped through Middlesex with "a cry of defiance, and not of fear," and Longfellow (the most famous American of his day) speaks to the future, reminding all that the people will be ever on the alert, ready to respond (specifically, to arm) WHENEVER they hear again "the midnight message of Paul Revere." https://poets.org/poem/paul-reveres-ride
CNN setting up a subscriber network that required payment to watch, while viewership on their regular cable channel tanked, qualifies as one of the more irrational optimistic business decision I think I've ever witnessed.
Agreed. And in the time of inflation with a recession looming. People (even liberals) are needing to tighten their belts. For example, I just cancelled my SiriusXM yesterday. I have hundreds of songs on my iPhone that I can play in the car. Not exactly the same, but that extra will go toward the gas I put in the car.
Sure. I love: The Kendall and Casey Show, Jesus Sex and Politics, Chicks on the Right, The Ben Stein Show. Awaken with JP is good, have listened to a few episodes of The Simple Life with Gary Collins and enjoy it. The Candace Owens show.
So many to enjoy. I don’t miss an episode of the Kendal and Casey show. It’s about global and Indiana politics and even though I’m not from there, Rob Kendall busts the Republicans chops as well as the Democrats
Re Reedy Creek and the Disney Real Estate corp. This example ought to awaken more people regarding how institutions and conglomerates have eroded "public policy" and the tenets of local constitutional authority. Here in Maryland we have seen how Johns Hopkins has comandeered the 'makeover' of Baltimore City, and in Towson, how 'Towson University' behaves as if it has sole authority to redesign what used to be a quaint Town ctr--once called Towsontown. What is behind all of this? Since I learned a few years back that Baltimore was ear-marked as a SMART City and was receiving approx $250 Million in development funds--it began to look as if all this construction and development was just the beginning of the SMART makeover(takeover). The profound question is simply this: When citizens no longer have a voice or an opportunity to vote or elect or choose what we want our communities to look like--then, is this OUR community any longer? [footnote: the same development/construction companies always seem to get the big dollar contracts.]
There’s at least a partial list here. Probably can go to Bloomberg philanthropies and get info. The philanthropists are going to be the death of us. Our mayor and city council just approved this and signed on a couple of weeks ago, unbeknownst to the citizens. Because it’s “free” I suppose they don’t need the approval of the people it will affect. Mice get caught in traps because the cheese is “free.” We have very stupid mice running the show. https://associates.bloomberg.org/
Regarding CDC authority, can anyone here authoritatively answer where the CDC got authority to mandate anything to begin with? Where do they get the authority to mandate anyone where a mask or get a vaccination?
They got corporations, the medical community, and the educational system to demand it. It’s the triumvirate of control they’ve been operating under since this began. A business owner can make his employees do whatever if it’s listed as safety. What were parents of school kids and college kids going to do? Especially since many of them were just going back to classrooms after being remote after so many months. It was a very calculated plan.
Problem is that the government did indeed level fines and the airlines did indeed put people on no-fly lists. If a whole plane load of people did a "flash" mob of defiance, well the police would be waiting for them at the gate and the airlines have all of their personal contact info. Many good and honest people do not have that kind of resources to partake of the cost of civil disobedience.
This is true - a mandate isn't legally binding, but when they get the "private" sector to do their bidding (under penalty of lost contracts, etc.) that's where the pain comes from.
Their authority is religious in nature, only. (Which means that it is extremely powerful.) They proclaim in an oracular way; other players in the game do all the mandating. True believers genuflect. The rest of us use our minds.
I continue to be grateful for your hard work and dedication to Coffee & Covid, even with your jam packed schedule :-)
No words could ever express my joy and appreciation! This has honestly become one of my few trusted news sources because of the humorous presentation of current events in a matter of fact kinda way ;-)
Thank you a million times and prayers for you, your family and many more amazing reads!
And a lot of others don't want to answer any questions about it now. Not the Bee had a short article on it and the people not wanting to talk about it - much like Bruno....
Commercial pilots over age 40 must renew their medical license with a physical exam by an aeromedical physician every 6 months and annually get an EKG/ECG. So, they are screened for heart problems. Younger pilots get a physical exam every year and a EKG/ECG initially over age 35.
And pilots prior to every flight are supposed to analyze their own fitness to fly and call off if they are not medically fit. These pilots who are “privately” sharing that they are flying with chest pain are operating against the rules of their certificate. If they came out into the open about this, perhaps it would get some attention. Pilots are inherently and understandably protective of their medical information. They intentionally do not highlight potential problems because this is their livelihood and they won’t get paid if they are grounded. Some airlines have decent disability benefits for pilots but not all and only partial pay for a limited time.
Regarding the medical exam, blood labs are not a part of that. Will be interesting to see if that changes. Perhaps d-Dimer and other clotting factor and heart related labs.
"Speaking of government punishing dissenters like Disney, eight democrat lawmakers in Rhode Island just filed S 2552, a bill that would double income taxes for unvaccinated people. It would also fine the unjabbed $50 per month until they take the shots, fine companies $5,000 per month for each pure-blooded worker, and require the approval of THREE DIFFERENT doctors to get an exemption."
So talk about a disconnect, Dems up in arms about Disney but yet here we have the tiny state of RI wanting to fine regular citizens double income taxes and monthly fines.....the Dems are OK with that....because save grandma or whatever it is....?
"I doubt whether, if passed, this would withstand constitutional scrutiny. It’s about the kookiest bill I’ve seen yet, and it reinforces the fact that we’re not done yet, not by a long shot."

It is exhausting, unacceptable, and insane.

It won't end until we establish a Nuremberg 2 trial with punishments including the death penalty for these ghouls.
This won't end until those responsible are held personally accountable and pay a heavy price for violating people's constitutional rights while insanely enriching themselves in the process.
At this point, with all we know about the "efficacy" and the adverse effects, I look at it as a self defense matter.
Seems like democrats are doing everything in their power to ensure that republicans have the legislative majorities necessary to hold whatever kind of kangaroo courts they desire following the midterm elections.

Their squabbling is all for show.
Just about all politicians are on the same side. And it sure ain't ours.
Agreed. Establishment Republicans were part and parcel of this travesty.
Correct.

So now to compensate for that possible error, they want to force all of the non-jabbers to take the shots so that the non-jabbers have to join them in the possible error of their way.
Try to remember that this was the normal relationship between power structures and the governed for about 5000 years.

Like the nuts from the West coast, the nuts from the East coast will be welcomed in red states if they vote red.

Excellent! We need to take back what our Revolution was fought for.
Best comment on mandate ruling comes from Rep. Massie.
“These are the ramblings of a constitutionally illiterate madman drunk on power,” Massie said in his call to “fire Fauci.”
“The court ruled on the legality, not the science, of CDC’s mandate, and found it was illegal,” he added.
I pray the standing holds.

And I have some great podcasts that are free if you’re looking for entertainment. You’ll never miss SiriusXM
Great idea! I had not even thought about that. Those will be great when I am doing some long distance driving.
Sure. I love: The Kendall and Casey Show, Jesus Sex and Politics, Chicks on the Right, The Ben Stein Show. Awaken with JP is good, have listened to a few episodes of The Simple Life with Gary Collins and enjoy it. The Candace Owens show.

Can you get Candace Owens without a subscription?
Check Apple podcasts app that’s where I’ve listened to some of hers. All the ones I listen to are free.
yeah that never made sense....and I mean how much more news do you need?

Regular people aren't SMART enough to have a community. Just get back in your pod and it'll all be taken care of.
RIGHTO!!!! Wit and sarcasm appreciated! Cheers!
Check and see if your city has partnered with Bloomberg, and you’ll know more.

how would one check on if our city has partnered with Bloomberg?

Univ. of Nebraska Medical Center does the same in Omaha,Ne.
I see this happening in Sioux Falls, SD.
To you and Scott: Sure smells like the New World Odor to me! The smartification of our cities seems like more WEF hoodwinking.
New World Odor!
LOVE that!
Regarding CDC authority, can anyone here authoritatively answer where the CDC got authority to mandate anything to begin with? Where do they get the authority to mandate anyone where a mask or get a vaccination?
We the people let them do it to us. Had enough people said "nope" it would have just stopped.
They got corporations, the medical community, and the educational system to demand it. It’s the triumvirate of control they’ve been operating under since this began. A business owner can make his employees do whatever if it’s listed as safety. What were parents of school kids and college kids going to do?

Because they said so...science...so shut up...

I always enjoy reading your column!
Look forward to it daily!
Thx, Jeff, for taking your time and energy to keep us informed and smiling!! Blessings on you in speaking and greeting today.
Off all topics, but for concerned substackers, but after 8 days mia, Gonzalo Lira has emerged alive!
Thanks for posting. It's the best news in a long time!
Yup! He's not out of the woods, but alive & physically ok. Where there's life, there's hope!
That is wonderful news !!!
Those who insist that everyone on the planet must be jabbed forever more, I've been calling them the Jabber-wokes.
Star Wars fan?
Yes to Star Wars, but this is in reference to Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky". It just seems fitting. ;-)
Agree. Lewis Carroll would agree that we have all gone through the looking glass!
why the heck is anyone pushing vaccines at this point? It's a cold!!!
actually just heard two of the eight Dems already pulled out of the RI bill.
And a lot of others don't want to answer any questions about it now. Not the Bee had a short article on it and the people not wanting to talk about it - much like Bruno....
CNN+ didn't even get old enough to be groomed by Florida teachers
It's still possible to leave Rhode Island. Just sayin'.
