The Baltimore police union told its officers Friday not to reveal their coronavirus vaccine status due to the city’s lack of communication.
“It is understandable that our members have questions about a policy with so little information being provided by the city. Until the city responds to our right to bargain these issues, or the courts intervene, I suggest you do nothing in regard to revealing your vaccination status as it is outlined in the city’s policy,” Sgt. Mike Mancuso, president of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 3, said in the letter to members.
Mancuso said his group has been trying to talk to the city for weeks about its “various, and very obvious, issues with their vague policy.”
“FOP3 believes that there are multiple collective bargaining issues that surround the city’s vaccination policy. We have made multiple attempts to sit down and discuss these issues to no avail,” he said.
The Baltimore police union isn’t the only union fighting back.
The Chicago police union chief told his officers to ignore Chicago’s vaccine mandate.
The Chicago police union chief called on officers to ignore the city’s vaccine mandate set to take effect on Friday.
In a video posted to YouTube , Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara told officers, “Do not fill out the portal information.”
“I’ve made my status very clear as far as the vaccine, but I do not believe the city has the authority to mandate that to anybody — let alone that information about your medical history,” Catanzara said.
The city’s vaccine mandate will place officers who do not submit proof of vaccination by the deadline on a “no pay” status. The police union is preparing a lawsuit against the city of Chicago.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has now vowed to take legal action against Joe Biden’s attempts to force vaccines on the entire country or else face terminations.
“Let’s not have Biden come in and effectively take away — threaten to take away — the jobs of people who have been working hard throughout this entire pandemic,” DeSantis said.
“I am offended that a police officer could potentially lose their job,” he added.
DeSantis isn’t the only Governor who is threatening legal action against Biden.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt(R) said he is “ready to take Biden to court” over his vaccine mandate:
This action is not just federal overreach.
It’s unconstitutional.
I’ve talked about this with our Attorney General, John O’Connor.
And I know he’s on our side.
He’s ready to take President Biden to court the second the rules are made public.
Full address:
Biden’s vaccine mandate has finally been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget but the rule still does not exist until it is published in the Federal Register.
The Department of Labor on Tuesday submitted to the White House the initial text of President Joe Biden’s plan to require private-sector workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or get tested regularly.
The department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration submitted the proposed rule for review to the Office of Management and Budget.
The mandate would apply to businesses with 100 or more employees and will be implemented under a federal rule-making mechanism known as an emergency temporary standard.
The rule will be implemented once OMB’s review is complete and it’s published in the Federal Register.
Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is in legal trouble for breaking the Hatch Act while parroting garbage from the White House. But no worries. Jen and Joe Biden, the most corrupt US president in history, say they are all for ethics.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was pressed Friday about getting a Hatch Act complaint.
Psaki’s comments during Thursday’s briefing about the Biden administration supporting Terry McAuliffe earned a complaint from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
Their complaint said she was “impermissibly mixing official government business with advocacy” for McAuliffe by saying, “We’re going to do everything we can to help former Governor McAuliffe, and we believe in the agenda he’s representing.”
Jake Tapper asked Psaki about it during his interview minutes later and played the clip of her comments under scrutiny.
“CREW says you still went too far.”
Psaki responded by saying, “I take ethics seriously. So does this president, of course.”
“As I understand, if I had said he instead of we, that would not have been an issue at all, and I’ll be more careful with my words next time. Words certainly matter,” she added.
Yes, Joe Biden has shown his ethics many times – like when he threatened Ukraine with serious financial consequences if they didn’t remove the prosecutor investigating his crooked son.
Nothing but ethics from this election stealing, Iran donating, Taliban supporting, America hating Biden Administration.
Hollywood “washed up” actor Jussie Smollett was let off by the corrupt Cook County State’s Attorney’s office in 2019r after he staged a vicious, ridiculous stunt to smear Trump supporters as homophobic, racists in a late-night planned and rehearsed stunt.
In April 2019 Chicago authorities released text messages from corrupt State’s Attorney Kim Foxx. The messages revealed that Kim Foxx continued to intervene in the case in support of Smollett even after she recused herself.
Kim Foxx is a Soros-funded lawless radical who still manages the second largest prosecutor’s office in the United States.
Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar posted the messages by Kim Foxx on his Twitter feed .
A judge has denied Empire actor Jussie Smollett’s last ditch attempt to dismiss his criminal case for allegedly lying to police when he reported that he was the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack, and a date has been set for trial.
Smollett, 39, had told police that two masked men attacked him in downtown Chicago in January 2019, where he was filming Empire.
He was charged weeks later with filing a false police report, after investigators concluded that he staged the attack and paid two brothers to carry it out because he was unhappy about his salary and wanted to promote his career.
But Judge James Linn noted that Smollett’s case now was being led by a special prosecutor appointed by another judge, an arrangement that he would not upset.
The men accused of helping orchestrate the attack were identified as Abel and Ola Osundairo. The pair were detained and questioned by police on February 13, 2019. They were later released on February 19.
Smollett allegedly agreed to pay them $3,500 to stage the attack.
Ola Osundairo is a personal trainer who appeared in an episode of Empire. Smollet and Ola reportedly became friendly and traded ‘workout tips’ via text message.
On February 20, Smollett was arrested and accused of lying to the police.
Biden’s Secretary of Transportation, ‘Mayor Pete’ Buttigieg, is out on paternity leave. So Biden chooses a US Maritime Administrator with zero experience on commercial ships to address the largest shipping crisis in the country’s history.
We reported last month on the ships anchored offshore unable to unload their cargo from overseas.
Yesterday we reported that the Secretary of Transportation, the individual who should be addressing this mess, is out on paternity leave in the greatest commercial shipping crisis history.
…during the worst shipping crisis of the century, the US Department of Transportation, has appointed someone to the US Maritime Administration (MARAD) who is not a captain and has no commercial shipping experience.
Phillips is a highly decorated Navy leader with a long list of accomplishments and is highly respected by everyone gCaptain has interviewed. She was head of the Navy’s Climate Change Task Force and is a highly sought after consultant on climate security issues. She holds an MBA. She was chairman of a local government Sea Level Rise Preparedness and Resilience project. She once captained a Navy warship. The appointment looks great on paper except for one kinda big problem. This is not a warship position. It’s a commercial shipping appointment and she has zero experience aboard any commercial ships. She does not even have experience leading navy military sealift ships.
The position of US Maritime Administrator is traditionally held by a commercial shipowner or captain, but President Obama left the position unfilled for years then selected a former congressional staffer, David Matsuda. He was highly unpopular and was pushed out in 2013. Obama followed the appointment with a relatively low ranking navy submarine commander Chip Jaenichen.
The Trump administration appointed US Navy Rear Admiral Mark Buzby for the position. Buzby, while not a commercial mariner or ship owner, was a graduate of the US Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), ran sealift operations for the Navy, was on the board of directors of Carnival Cruise Line, and spent his first year traveling around the country, meeting with ship captains and commercial maritime stake holders. He reached out and listened to stakeholder needs. Buzby became highly popular within the industry on his promise to publish a new US Maritime Strategy to resuscitate the US Merchant Marine. He did write that strategy but it was lost in the malaize of government bureaucracy.
Mark Buzby did, however, accomplish one seemingly impossible task, he saved Aker’s Phillidelphia Shipyard from closing by purchasing four new state maritime academy training ships (NSMVs), valued at over $1.5 billion. Construction of the NSMVs supports over 1,000 direct shipyard jobs in Philadelphia. Buzby also convinced the US Transportation Command to do a major “turbo-activation” of the Ready Reserve Fleet to prove the abysmal state of our nation’s readiness to move materials for war.
gCaptain continues:
Each action [by Biden] however has been a misstep. To the untrained eye the 139 ships waiting to leave Los Angeles may look like a port crisis that can be solved by a US Port Envoy, it is not. It is a SHIPPING crisis. Numerous ports around the United States including Oakland and San Diego, have extra capacity, what we don’t have is anyone with recent SHIPPING experience at MARAD directing the SHIPS to empty ports. This week Biden addressed the nation with a plan to prevent containergeddon from ruining Christmas but experts say his plan is doomed to fail because, again, not a single ship captain was called to give advice on how to fix this SHIPPING crisis.
A viral video shared by David Harris Jr. showed an ICU nurse being escorted out of UCLA hospital for standing up and not taking the COVID-19 vaccine. The nurse was later identified as Tara Vafaeenia.
“So, I’m being escorted out of UCLA for standing up for medical freedom, despite coming to work, willing to work. And I just can’t believe that this is what they’re doing right now. And I’m gonna fight for all of us out there, and I will continue to fight. And this is not okay, came to work despite being unvaccinated and willing to work for patients, to help out staff and this is how we’re treated.”
Vafaeenia created a fundraising page on GiveSendGo with the title “UCLA ICU Nurse Standing for Freedom.” Here’s the excerpt from her fundraising page:
I’m Tara and I have been a nurse for nearly 12 years, spending the majority of my time at the bedside of ICU patients. I’ve spent almost 6 years with UCLA Health and have always held my profession in the highest regard. I was proud of being a nurse and found it personally rewarding to deliver care to those in need.
During the height of the pandemic, I worked tirelessly as a front-line worker, sacrificing myself physically, emotionally and personally for every patient. I went above and beyond to support UCLA Health’s medical staff and did all I could to fill in when the hospital had shifts left uncovered. I was loyal to a fault and put the patients and staff before my well-being on an hourly basis.
Health and well-being are very personal matters and I strongly believe that everyone should have the right to dignity and control over their medical decision making. At this point, I have made the decision to abstain from being vaccinated because of what I believe are well-founded concerns for my personal health and safety. The wholesale censorship, politicization, and retaliation upon anyone who thinks independently and asks questions has gone too far.
I, as well as the silent majority of my colleagues, have recently cared for patients who were admitted with symptoms and conditions that were unable to be categorized. These were not SARS-CoV-2 related problems and, coincidentally, these unusual outcomes often occurred after inoculation with the vaccines.
As an ICU nurse, it’s logical to assume I’m going to witness more adverse vaccine reactions than what’s typical for the majority of the population. That said, some of these adverse reactions have left me seriously troubled. The hubris of a select few in the medical community to guarantee both the short and long-term safety of the vaccines has been seized by the media and forced upon currently healthy individuals. I do not choose to capitulate to tyranny, threats, and illogical brute force. Additionally, the way inquisitive patients and their family members have been treated any time a vaccine has been questioned has left me seriously disillusioned.
At this point, my stance is for freedom and control over your own health. This is not about Republicans vs Democrats, Liberals vs Conservatives, or Religious vs Non-Religious. This is about liberty and the freedom to make decisions you’re comfortable with in relation to your health and your well-being. What I do when it comes to my health is up to me; not the government, not a corporation, and not my employer. I have made the decision to sacrifice my career and livelihood to stand up for what I believe is right. Independent thinking is rapidly being abolished and people are losing the ability to make their own decisions and to speak their own truth.
My strongest drive is creating a future for the next generation that continues to allow them to have freedom and liberty. That allows them to make their own decisions, create their own lives, peak their potential, stand up for what they believe and thrive in the most fulfilling way possible.
Luke 12:2 “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known”
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It has to be fought for and defended by each generation.” – Ronald Reagan
Any support or prayer is helpful and greatly appreciated. God bless. Tara
This is not the first time the UCLA has escorted out of their premises. The Gateway Pundit previously reported this week where an anesthesiologist was escorted out of UCLA medical plaza for refusing to get the COVID vaccine. You can read the rest here:
An Assistant to the Sergeant at Arms for the U.S. House of Representatives has been arrested and charged with ten felonies related to the possession of child pornography.
Detectives from the Fairfax County Police Department searched the house of Stefan Bieret, 41, of Burke and recovered multiple electronics.
Bieret works under the House Sergeant at Arms whose job is to maintain order on the House side of the US Capitol.
According to journalist Jake Sherman, “Capitol insiders will know Stefan very well.”
Legistorm, a platform that identifies congressional staff, showed that as of April, Bieret was employed by the House Sergeant at Arms, who is responsible for maintaining order on the House side of the U.S. Capitol complex. Bieret’s current employment status is unclear.
“Capitol insiders will know Stefan very well,” journalist and political analyst Jake Sherman wrote on Twitter. “A longtime employee of the House Sergeant at Arms. If you’re in the Capitol on a regular basis, you will have seen this face.”
The Office of the Attorney General in Nebraska issued an opinion Friday in response to the request of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services that states there’s no “clear and convincing evidence that a physician who first obtains informed consent and then utilizes Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 violates the UCA (Nebraska’s Uniform Credential Act).”
Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson together with his Solicitor General and Assistant Attorney General issued their opinion in response to a request by Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services CEO, Dannette Smith. She wanted the AG’s office to examine carefully whether doctors could face legal action or be subject to discipline if they prescribed the meds for COVID treatment.
“Allowing physicians to consider these early treatments will free them to evaluate additional tools that could save lives, keep patients out of the hospital, and provide relief for our already strained healthcare system,” AG Doug Peterson wrote.
The Office of AG pointed to multiple medical journal articles, research, and case studies. They mentioned the study from Lancet that was later on retracted because of its flawed statistics regarding the use of HCQ.
After receiving your question and conducting our investigation, we have found significant controversy and suspect information about potential COVID-19 treatments. A striking example features one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals–the Lancet. In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lancet published a paper denouncing hydroxychloroquine as dangerous. Yet the reported statistics were so flawed that journalists and outside researchers immediately began raising concerns. Then after one of the authors refused to provide the analyzed data, the paper was retracted, but not before many countries stopped using hydroxychloroquine and trials were cancelled or interrupted. The Lancet’s own editor in chief admitted that the paper was a “fabrication, “a monumental fraud,” and “a shocking example of research misconduct in the middle of a global health emergency.
Because of conflicting data on the treatments by the principal authors, “We find that the available data does not justify filing disciplinary actions against physicians simply because they prescribe ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to prevent or treat COVID-19,” the opinion said.
Office of AG also used the study from the Mahmud and Niaee research team and many more about Ivermectin’s role as prophylaxis.
Moving beyond ivermectin’s role as a prophylaxis, other studies have demonstrated its potential as a COVID-19 treatment. The Mahmud study–a CT that explored ivermectin as an early treatment for 363 individuals–concluded that “patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection treated with ivermectin plus doxycycline recovered earlier, were less likely to progress to more serious disease, and were more likely to be COVID-19 negative on day 14. And Niaee’s research team found that ivermectin can help even hospitalized patients. That group conducted a “randomized, double-
blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial” with 180 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19. They concluded that ivermectin “reduces the rate of mortality and duration of hospitalization in adult COVID-19 patients,” and the improvement of other clinical parameters showed that the ivermectin, with a wide margin of safety, had a high therapeutic effect on COVID-19.”
The office of AG even attacked the company, Merck, on their agenda.
Why would ivermectin’s original patent holder go out of its way to question this medicine by creating the impression that it might not be safe? There are at least two plausible reasons. First, ivermectin is no longer under patent, so Merck does not profit from it anymore. That likely explains why Merck declined to “conductI] clinical trials” on ivermectin and COVID-19 when given the chance.
Second, Merck has a significant financial interest in the medical profession rejecting ivermectin as an early treatment for
COVID-19. “[The U.S. government has agreed to pay [Merck] about $1.2 billion for 1.7 million courses of its experimental COVID-19 treatment, if it is proven to work in an ongoing large trial and authorized by U.S. regulators.”
That treatment, known a “molnupiravir, aims to stop COVID-19 from progressing and can be given early in the course of the disease.” On October 1, 2021, Merck announced that preliminary studies indicate that molnupiravir “reduced hospitalizations and deaths by half,” and that same day its stock price “jumped as much as 12.3%.” Thus, if low-cost ivermectin works better than–or even the same as-molnupiravir, that could cost Merck billions of dollars.
Arizona Attorney General requested that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland investigate Facebook for their facilitation of human smuggling at the Arizona southern border.
Facebook admitted in a letter to allowing “people to share information about how to enter a country illegally or request information about how to be smuggled.”
Facebook claims to censor and remove other content that assists human traffickers and drug traffickers but AG Brnovich says that the mechanisms they use are “paper tigers”.
Facebook is somehow able to censor every conservative thought and post that comes across the internet, but they leave some room for human traffickers.
By not banning this content and allowing the promotion of illegal smuggling, Facebook is a “direct facilitator” of this heinous crime.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich made the following press release on Wednesday.
Attorney General Brnovich: Facebook Admits to Aiding Human Smuggling
Attorney General Mark Brnovich is asking U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Facebook’s alleged facilitation of human smuggling at Arizona’s southern border and stop its active encouragement and facilitation of illegal entry.
General Brnovich wrote to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg after media reports detailed how human smugglers and drug cartels use the platform to advertise their smuggling services. After several follow-up requests by the Attorney General’s Office (AGO), Facebook provided an in-depth response on August 30th, 2021, stating it allows “people to share information about how to enter a country illegally or request information about how to be smuggled.”
“This is another example of how out of touch Big Tech is with America,” said Attorney General Mark Brnovich. “The cartels are seizing control of our southern border, and shame on anyone who is exploiting this crisis to enrich themselves.”
States are largely preempted from enforcing federal immigration laws and certain criminal statutes related to human smuggling. It is the federal government’s responsibility to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, and specifically, the Department of Justice’s responsibility to investigate and prosecute these crimes.
John Catanzara, the head of Chicago’s police union, advised police officers NOT to comply with the city’s COVID-19 mandatory vaccine and reporting requirements.
Catanzara told fellow officers to openly defy Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s vaccine deadline.
John Catanzara announced he will go into a no-pay status following the deadline.
Watch before fascist YouTube deletes it.
On Friday Cook County Judge Cecilia Horan ordered Police Union President John Catanzara to stop making public statements on social media or in the media that encourage police officers not to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate until a hearing Oct. 25.
Catanzara will not be allowed to speak out. What country are we living in?
