NFL employees get spike proteins in their stockings; another pricey ivy-league college closes classes after an outbreak; UK upgrades its passport requirements; Hochul re-masks New York, and more...
It has become my distinct pleasure, albeit unexpected, to be in the presence of the severely maladjusted personalities that inhabit this space. There’s comfort among miscreants. Thank you for continuing to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that ignorance is indeed NOT bliss, and wilful stupidity is a choice. ….(“choice” subject to periodic re-definition. Stay tuned). On that score, as I was pouring almond milk on my morning bowl of yard debris, I felt compelled to share a prophetic and noteworthy little snippet from Paine’s “Common Sense.” It’s subtle, but telling. (I might share a few more later this week. Love this Paine guy!) THIS smart crowd will get it, of course. However, the MSM worshipping, Dr. Seuss and Pepe Le Pew hating McMoron’s who might find themselves here at C&C after accidentally hitting their computer keyboard’s “snark and logic” button will NOT. This is not a place for the simple minded, and I assure you any references to “birthing persons” is purely incidental. Additionally, we’re a giving bunch here at C&C, and we don’t want you to feel left out. To that end, if you’re a research impaired, Fauci zombie there’s a Barney activity book in the corner. It’s chock full of connect-a-dots, which will be extremely helpful moving forward….see you in an hour.
COMMON SENSE
From the Introduction:
“Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.”
Editor’s note: Revised version includes the phrase: “Let’s Go Brandon!” The source is dubious.
All vaccines have some risk, both actual vaccines and the mRNA jabs. Even the safest ones have risk. The government (federal, state, local) doesn't get to make some abstract calculation in the aggregate that forcing actual risk on enough individual persons will somehow potentially benefit the people overall. That just violates the most basic principles of human free will and autonomy. Vax mandates, in principle, should be out of bounds.
The "more jabs" when the first ones don't work doesn't follow the usual medical/scientific protocols. If an antibiotic is found to be ineffective against a specific organism, we do not simply give more of the same. We do something DIFFERENT. The UK is lost ...
Sorry to be barking up the Jacobson tree again, but...it seems to me that:
When language is narrow and specific we cannot and must *not* use today’s language to understand yesterday’s use of that language. Similarly, when language is broad and general, we can and *must* use today’s language to understand yesterday’s use of that language.
The Second Amendment did not protect “the right to keep and bear muskets”. That would’ve been narrow and specific, and today we’d be obligated to interpret 2A within the context of what a “musket” is. Obviously, AR15s and 9mms are not muskets, and would not be protected.
2A was broad and general – "the right to keep and bear *arms*" – and so we can and must use today's language to understand the meaning of 2A in the context of the word “arms”.
2A was also narrow and specific – “a well-regulated militia” – and so we cannot and must not use today’s language to understand the meaning of “a well-regulated militia”. We must use yesterday’s language.
If Jacobson had validated state-mandated “drugs” or “medicines” (broad and general), we’d use today’s definitions, and Jacobson would be a valid precedent for state-imposed vaxx mandates.
BUT Jacobson only validated state-mandated *vaccines* (narrow and specific), so the definition of “vaccine” as it was understood THEN should be what matters.
That is why Jacobson is invalid and inapt as precedent, IMHO.
If the Supreme court keeps flushing the injection cases, then will employers feel they have license to deny employees’ religious accommodations? I work for a fed contractor and am preparing my RA but these decisions are very disheartening.
ALWAYS follow the money. Mankind is so pathetically predictable. Love of money is the root of all evil, huh? I cannot fathom the mindset of willingly taking financial gain at the expense of the literal life, liberty, and happiness of others.
Politicians making money off of vaccines they force on the taxpayers. So the taxpayers unwillingly fund the private pharmaceutical companies through our taxes, and then the politicians force taxpayers to use the funded product we didn’t even want, so our tax dollars can essentially fund their beach houses that they tell us not to buy due to the global “climate change crisis”. Ok this isn’t tyranny at all.
US Mega-Corporations Rush to Abandon Illegal Vax Mandates
Oopsie. The Biden Administration’s lawlessness over vaccine mandates has been exposed and along with it, the mega-corporate malfeasance that went along with it. With vanishing government support, these same companies are rushing to reverse their own mandates to avoid a lawsuit hell of their own. While government can hide behind legal immunity, corporations cannot. ⁃ TN Editor
What a great summary of today’s events. I live in the Uk and am sad I will most likely have to leave auschwitz, I mean England soon. Don’t the Brits and other Europeans remember ww2? Short memories. Probably because those who lived through the hardships are dead or near the age of death. Does the name Hitler ring any bells to the next generation? Guess not.
I had to stop reading the newsletter to come post here when I came across this quote from Justice Gorsuch:
“is always the failure to defend the Constitution’s promises that leads to this court’s greatest regrets.”
That is one powerful statement - "the failure to defend the Constitution’s promises".

RESOLVE. Keep fighting the good fight!
Looking forward to finding out who made the most money off of the "pandemic"....

Any legitimate idea why SCOTUS won't take up an injection case?

If you think Russians don’t have a Free Press and can’t criticize their Government, you should read this.

Question. If we get denied our Religious Exempt do we wait until they fire us or is it better we quit?
Jeff - wondering if you were able to find a source for "So." t-shirts and coffee cups?
"Merry Christmas, brits! Hope you like your spike proteins. You can’t return them. Ever"? . I figured that out when I refused the first offer.
