Dr. Naomi Wolf author and critic of vaccine mandates: “They are starting with a purge of conservatives, but what they are doing is keeping us down home, not allowing us to congregate, not allowing us to hear each other… herding us like horses on to social media and then saying we’re going to police what you can say on social media… We can’t say anything about vaccines. The vaccines are a Trojan horse. The vaccines are a proxy. You criminalize speech around vaccines. You clear away dissent and clear away freedom of speech, and that’s the last pillar that protects us.”
Matthew Boose contributor to American Greatness: Joe Biden’s malicious, imperious January 6 tirade was a fitting way to wrap up a year of constant hectoring and scapegoating from the Oval Office. It was a good, old Biden rant, audaciously dishonest, divisive, authoritarian, but none too surprising coming from a man who recently declared that his “patience” with a large part of the country was “wearing thin.”.
Techno Fog tweeted on 1/7/22: “It’s hard to convey the disrespect showed by Justices Sotomayor and Breyer today. 100 million Americans are affected by the Biden COVID mandates. And these Justices showed up unprepared, inventing COVID numbers to support whatever legal conclusion they’ve already reached.”
Sundance contributor for Conservative Treehouse fact checks Justice Sotomayor’s COVIDS related statements in Friday’s court hearing: Supreme Justice Sotomayor, another leftist communist in a black robe, stated: “100,000 kids are currently in the hospital”, FALSE; that the “Omicron variant has been more deadly than Delta,” FALSE; COVID deaths are at an “all time high”, FALSE; and worse yet, “OSHA’s regulatory authority is part of the federal police power,” again FALSE.
Greg Piper reporter for Just The News: Sotomayor insisted that humans were no different than machinery for the purpose of OSHA’s authority. Using the example of a machine that shoots off sparks, she asked “why is a human not like a machine if it’s spewing virus?”

Joondeph, M.D.: Early Outpatient COVID Treatment – Why is There Still no Plan?
COVID has been with us for almost two years and yet there are still not officially and medical establishment endorsed outpatient treatment protocols to keep infected individuals out of hospitals, which is where more serious problems begin, from secondary hospital infections, ventilators, and ultimately death. Back in March of 2020, when COVID emerged on the scene, the rule of thumb was to not go to the hospital until short of breath and deathly ill. By this time, with the cytokine storm raging, hurricane force winds were blowing most to a ventilator in the ICU where it was by the grace of God and a coin flip whether one would exit the ICU alive, whatever alive meant for those poor souls that lived through weeks in a medically induced coma. Where are we at now? What does this same person do in early 2022, with symptoms of a bad cold or flu, regardless of vaccination status — which makes little difference at this point in time?

US SUPREME COURT
Greg Piper: Supreme Court justices make puzzling claims about COVID stats in challenges to vaccine mandates
In oral arguments Friday, liberal justices made questionable and unchallenged factual assertions to defend the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) vaccine-or-test mandate for large employers and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) healthcare worker vaccine mandate.
The National Federation of Independent Businesses and Ohio are seeking a halt to the Jan. 10 enforcement deadline given by OSHA, while Missouri and Louisiana want the high court to keep in place injunctions against CMS by trial courts. […] Justice Sonia Sotomayor repeatedly denied the OSHA mandate was a “mandate” because of the test option, but her claim that 100,000 children were in “serious condition” with COVID — more than the total number hospitalized since August — drew particular bafflement. Observers noted the current federal child hospitalization count is 3,342. American Commitment CEO Phil Kerpen tweeted that many or most were “incidental” to their hospitalization, echoing a distinction recently made by Dr. Anthony Fauci and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky. […] Breyer also claimed 99% of hospitalized patients were . . . […] “We all know what the best policy is,” Justice Elena Kagan told Keller in defense of OSHA. “The best way to prevent spread is . . . […] Chief Justice John Roberts asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar . . .[…] Justice Samuel Alito suggested the OSHA mandate was like . . .

Meads: Amy Coney Barrett Asks Key COVID-19 Question: When Will The Emergency End?
As for why OSHA can enact this without comment from Congress, OSHA’s “emergency rules can go into effect immediately, without the notice-and-comment procedures normally required for agency rulemaking,” SCOTUS Blog added. However, Barrett pressured pro-mandate attorneys as to when the emergency would end so that Congress could formally weigh in on the OSHA ruling. “When does the emergency end? I mean, a lot . . .

Kelly: 12 Questions the Justice Department and FBI Need to Answer About January 6
Dear Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans: Happy New Year! Hope you are ready and rested for the big political fights ahead in 2022. Republicans across the country are counting on you to stand tough against the Biden regime and your Democratic counterparts in advance of a potentially power-shifting election this November. Just kidding. Alas, informed Republicans know that even with all the uncertainties in the world, we can be certain that the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will always disappoint us. Even when you controlled this important committee for four years under a Republican president, you failed to fulfill one empty promise after another. Remember all the promises to “get to the bottom” of Russiagate, the biggest political scandal and abuse of government power in history? (Well, until January 6.) […] Well, this Tuesday, Cruz and the rest of you have a chance to ask again. And again. And again. Top officials from the Justice Department and FBI are scheduled to testify before your committee during a hearing titled, “The Domestic Terrorism Threat One Year After January 6.” Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s national security division (a reminder for Senator Lindsey Graham [R-S.C.]: that was the agency that prepared the unlawful FISA applications against Carter Page—seems like you forgot all about it), and Jill Sanborn, executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch, will undoubtedly present all sorts of dire assessments about the threat of domestic terrorists—also known as Trump voters—and urge Democrats to send more money and manpower to combat the dangerous scourge of QAnon shamans and Indiana meemaws. So, here’s your opportunity to finally show some spinal steel after nearly six years of craven appeasement.
Instead of wasting one second of your five-minute allotment thanking the Justice Department and FBI for terrorizing trespassers, might I suggest you immediately confront these constitutional malefactors with the following: . . .

Watch — Upstate NY Democrats Hold January 6 Vigil, Accuse Rioters of Treason: ‘A Consequence of Treason Is Death’
Castelli, a frontrunning Democrat candidate in Stefanik’s district, said in remarks at the vigil that Stefanik “violated her oath that particular day [January 6, 2021] in her actions and has continued to do so every day since,” according to one video. Castelli, a former CIA officer, has made the January 6 Capitol riot central to his campaign, announcing his bid for office by highlighting the incident — […] In his remarks at the event on Thursday, Castelli also compared Stefanik to the American Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold. “Her actions remind me of another individual with ties to the North Country. … I am talking about the traitor Benedict Arnold, and his treasonous spirit is alive and well in Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.”

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATE
(United Kingdom) Smythe: WATCH: Vax Taskforce Chief Says Mass Vaccination ‘Pointless’, Time to Stop Counting Case Numbers.
The former head of the United Kingdom’s Vaccine Taskforce, Dr. Clive Dix, has stated that the nation’s mass vaccination campaign should end, alongside the endless tracking of “case numbers”. Dr. Dix told Sky News that the original vaccines were designed to stop infection and transmission, which hasn’t happened. The COVID-19 vaccines were also deployed to stop serious disease, but the wave of new variants has meant the vaccines do not stop infections. Dr. Dix explained that the new variants are “much, much milder” so it is “pointless giving more and more vaccine to people who are not going to get very ill.”

(United Kingdom) Smythe: WATCH: Doctor Tells Health Minister ‘Science Isn’t Strong Enough’ to Enforce Mandatory Vaccination.
British Health Secretary Sajid Javid was caught off guard by a National Health Service doctor who told him on camera that the science behind mandatory COVID-19 vaccines “isn’t strong enough”. Dr. Steve James – currently unvaccinated and working as a consultant anesthetist at the King’s College Hospital in London – told Javid that he has had COVID-19, has the antibodies for COVID-19, and has been working safely with patients since the beginning of the pandemic. Dr. James was working on the intensive care unit when Javid asked him his thoughts on Britain’s new rules requiring vaccinations for NHS workers.

New study of Pfizer’s COVID vaccine has some disturbing findings
I just read a disturbing study of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine’s efficacy by the Canadian COVID Care Alliance. This organization comprises over 500 independent Canadian doctors, scientists, and health care practitioners. The title of the article, “The Pfizer Inoculations for COVID-19: More Harm Than Good,” is disturbing. The article itself, which discusses the many nuances of this study, is even more distressing. You may recall the much-reported “95% efficacy” of the vaccine against COVID-19. We all assumed that if we were vaccinated, we would then only have a 5% chance of becoming infected. Sounds great, but the statement is misleading. In the Pfizer study, only 8 out of 18,198, or 0.043% of participants who received the vaccine, contracted COVID, while 162 out of 18,325, 0.884% in the control group who received injections of saline became infected. Therefore, while there was a Relative Risk Reduction of 95%, the Actual Risk Reduction was a mere 0.84%. This disparity certainly changes one’s perspective on just how effective the vaccine is. Everyone in the study, including the control group, had a less than 1% chance of infection. Of course, as the virus spread throughout the population, a higher percentage of people became infected. The conclusions of the study remain the same insofar as the likelihood of the vaccine preventing infection in any given controlled group of persons. The article also asserts, among other things, . . . […] The most damning findings concerned . . .

Berrien: Obama, Clinton, Winfrey Team Up To Convince Manchin To Kill Filibuster: Report
According to a report, Democrats are so desperate to eliminate the Senate filibuster — which would enable the Democrats, who control the Senate, to pass legislation regarding voting that would be highly favorable to them— that two former presidents and celebrity Oprah Winfrey have contacted Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), who is considered the pivotal vote in the Senate, to pressure him into accepting the filibuster’s demise.

Sheehey: Michelle Obama and coalition vow to register more than a million new voters
Former first lady Michelle Obama said in a letter on Sunday that a coalition of voting rights organizations would register more than a million new voters across the country in the run-up to this year’s midterm elections. Obama, who founded When We All Vote, a campaign to register and organize voters, also said in the letter that the coalition would organize at least 100,000 Americans to contact their senators, urging them to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Election reform legislation is struggling to pass the Senate, as moderate Democrats are reluctant to change Senate rules and push it through.

VDH: What Makes Riots, Conspiracies, Cabals, and Insurrections ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’?
A cynic who knew nothing of politics, nothing of the contemporary American Left or Right, might instead conclude in Orwellian fashion that big, lengthy deadly riots, are “good,” smaller, shorter, less-lethal ones “bad”; that bigger, more secret, and more successful cabals are good; but smaller, more open, and less successful ones would be bad. Also good is a Congress going to unprecedented lengths to destroy an effective president with a successful record. Bad is a Congress impotently attempting to block a failed president with a catastrophic record. And so shut up and keep quiet, since that is all ye need to know . . .

(H/T PC) Durden: Expect A “Blue Wave Of Gun Control” In 2022
Governing By Executive Fiat. It’s something that the Biden Administration knows quite well. Not even a week into the new year, Merrick Garland, Attorney General at the Department of Justice, announced a new “rule” for Federal Firearms Licensees, also known as FFLs. The “Rule” is as follows: FFLs must have “safe storage” options for sale. The government is mandating that FFLs sell locks and safes. It also changes the definition of an antique firearm; you can read the change here. While this might sound wholly bland and harmless, keep in mind that the DOJ can use the 1968 Gun Control Act to add new rules and regulations to gun ownership without passing any laws. This change means that unelected bureaucrats in executive branch positions can usurp federal power to make “law” as they see fit. It is precisely this attitude that we’ve seen throughout 2021 from the Biden Administration, the Department of Justice, and the ATF. There’s no reason to expect that they would shift their plans for 2022.

Brown: American Airlines apologetic after Twitter user complains about pilot with ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ sticker
American Airlines (AA) went viral after responding to a Twitter user Saturday who complained about a pilot because he had a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker on his luggage. A Twitter user who has since made her Twitter account private took a picture of the sticker and sent it to the airline, asking if they accept “cowardly rhetoric on their crew luggage when they’re in uniform.” “We are not the only passengers who noticed and were disgusted,” the user added. […] The complaint was met with ridicule from other users on Twitter. “Hope he and everyone else gets a raise for having to deal with Karen passengers such as this one,” tweeted journalist Mollie Hemingway. “This pilot deserves a raise for dealing with entitled Karens while doing his job,” tweeted Christina Pushaw, who is the press secretary for Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.

Smythe: False Positive DNA-Tech Testing is Leading to More Abortions.
An examination by the New York Times has found that 85 percent of prenatal blood tests for rare chromosomal disorders provided false positive results to expectant mothers. On average, only 15 out of every 85 tests came back with accurate information on their child’s genetic make-up, potentially leading many mothers to abort perfectly healthy children. The article describes a series of case studies of expectant mothers who received normal ultrasounds, but were told shortly after that blood tests confirmed their children would be born with serious ailments and mental illness. These mothers then had to either pay for additional testing to confirm the results, give birth to a child who may not live, or choose to kill their unborn children before birth.

Greenfield: Dems Back to Shoving COVID Cases Into Nursing Homes
If Cuomo’s downfall showed anything, it’s that there is still zero accountability for shoving COVID cases into nursing homes, resulting in a significant portion of the deaths during the pandemic. So why should the Dems stop doing it? Ask Gov. Ned Lamont over in Connecticut. New York and New Jersey showed why putting COVID patients into nursing homes is a horrifying act of eugenics. Is that going to change anything right next door. Nope.
