Denver International Airport, the fifth-busiest airport in the USA, held a job fair this past weekend with an expectation of 5,000 visitors. Only 100 people showed up. It is understandable why people are hesitant to work in a notoriously regulated environment where they will likely be forced to wear a mask all day in addition to the vaccine.
The latest poll from KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor shows that 87% of unvaccinated workers oppose employer vaccine mandates. When asked if they would get the jab, 50% said that they were “not at all likely” to get vaccinated. If mandatory weekly testing was required as an alternative to the vaccine, which is an option under Biden’s regime, 30% said that they would simply quit their jobs.
The US Chamber of Commerce has even asked the Biden Administration to delay the vaccine mandate until after the holiday season to avoid losing workers. The National Retail Federation has asked the White House to delay the mandate by at least 90 days too. Analysts are already predicting that workers will leave in droves once the mandate goes into effect. Although weekly testing remains an option, that will take time and money. The Retail Industry Leaders Association believes that workers should pay for their own weekly tests, which should go over well with the estimated 4 million unvaccinated retail workers.
As Powell stated last week, inflation will not subside until we reach maximum employment. Restaurants, retailers, and other businesses are beginning to close or condense hours. Even with wage increases, people are not returning to work, and it is time for the current administration to understand why.
ANSWER: Of course not. If you understand cycles, markets go up, and then they go down. It is NEVER a one-way street. Politics is the same. Sometimes the Democrats are in power, and then it flips to Republicans (Conservative v Labour). If you go to the extreme far-right, you end up at the same place as the extreme far left; the only difference is their reasoning. Both will oppose their opponents.
This is what cycles are about. I would no more support the extreme right as I would the extreme left. Civilization works ONLY when LIBERTY prevails. Once one side demands their opponent must conform to their ideas, the very purpose of civilization no longer exists. If we are not respectful of one another’s rights, then we must also surrender all our rights.
If you understand cycles, we buy in bull markets and sell in bear markets. You will lose everything if you take only one side and ignore the trends. Politics is the same. During the 19th century, the Democrats were the slave owners. Agendas and principles always change with the cycles.
COMMENT: Marty, Your last post rings so true. Which why I feel a bit hopeless about CA. Florida, with DeSantis leading is definitely heading in the right direction.
My step, father-in-law is a living example of what you talk about. He is overweight, diabetic, double vaxxed, masked, drives an electric hybrid car, and a staunch Democrat who voted for Biden. I sent him the link to the U.K. daily mail Hunter Biden expose saying that his vote brought that filth into the White House, and he just exploded about how Trump was racist, Trump this, Trump that…. it was never about whether Biden was any good.
He cared not in the least that small businesses, such as mine were shut down last year, or that my kids were kept out of school. He went out of his way to argue that masks prevented infection and the spread of covid. He encouraged people to get tested for covid, and got double vaxxed himself. He uses CNN as a source of “authority”.
And to think that his family fled communist China, and then to see him acting this way is just really mind boggling. You cannot argue with a 60+ year-old man, you just cannot no matter what evidence or counter-arguments you present.
Somehow the double vax did not kill him. I wonder if he will get his booster soon.
Thank you. SH
REPLY: I had dinner with a friend who brought his son, who was recently married. His wife just completed her degree to be a teacher. All I said was, “Well, stay clear of California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Their pension systems are crumbling.” She responded, “Oh you’re an anti-vaxer.” At no point in the conversation did we talk about politics or vaccines. It seems this vaccine is now defining those who see the loss of liberty compared with those eager to hand over all their rights to get people they disagree with. I think I have a right to live in a free country. They seem to disagree; I should not have any rights if I do not agree with their position. This is the evil of the left who will never live in peace. They have no idea what liberty even means.
QUESTION: Do you think Trump was a better president? He was a moron!
HJ
ANSWER: I really think you are too caught up in this idea that the president is actually in charge of the country. I have said from the outset, the 2020 election was NEVER about Trump v Biden. If you really think that Biden is in charge, I don’t know what to say. No matter what party you ever voted for, it is an agenda that rules, not the president. That was Trump’s problem. He thought being president meant you actually ran the country. The Deep State is in charge, and, make no mistake about it, they set the dark agenda.Video Player00:0001:12
Even Schumer admitted that no politicians will EVER criticize the intelligence community, for they have “six ways from Sunday” to get you. The country is NOT a corporation. The president is not in charge of it, and that is a known fact in Washington. They are allowed to play with social benefits. Beyond that, the Deep State will not tolerate interference. It would take the military to take down the Deep State. We have no right to vote them in or out, and no politician will ever do anything against them. It is in so many ways a dictatorship behind closed doors.
The Deep State was supposed to release all the papers on the JFK assassination during Trump’s term. They convinced him to grant them a delay until after the election because they KNEW he would lose. Now under Biden, they are using COVID as an excuse not to release them, and the talk is there will NEVER be a release because the real source was the Deep State — not Russia.
I have been against Biden not because of him personally nor because I thought Trump was a better man. My position has been BECAUSE Biden is only a puppet, and the BUILD BACK BETTER agenda is a global agenda headed by Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum. This is NOT a Republican v Democrat war. Biden has just implemented mandatory vaccines even for Americans who want to travel internationally. In Australia, Victoria is already telling people they will need regular booster shots to retain whatever limited privileges he is granting while converting emergency power to permanent legislation. That is coming everywhere worldwide.
This is We the People v a Foreign Enemy of State — The World Economic Forum. I am sure you will not believe me because you just hate Trump so much. Based upon your emails, you are just a fool who has been manipulated by this agenda. Trump stood in the way. He had to be removed. They had Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. To pull this off, Trump had to be removed.
In his Scranton speech, Biden said, “We will take, literally, millions of automobiles off the road. Off the road.” Gasoline is approaching $9 per gallon in California. Biden tried to track every transaction down to $600. Did you look at his bill trying to take 10% of everybody’s salary and force it as a loan to the government paying an annuity? That is what collapsed the city of Mainz during the 14th century and started the German hyperinflation following the December 1922 forced loan. Were any of these measures even raised during the election? Did you vote to surrender 10% of your salary and surrender your car?
It is sad. But this is only going to end in civil unrest. They have no right to take the Constitution, tear up our rights, and transform them only into privileges that can then be taken away or eliminated at their discretion. Our liberty is something people fought for over centuries. You are willing to relinquish the blood of all those who died fighting for this cause of freedom. Rest assured, your hatred of Trump has been used against you, and you are so blind to your own rights that you are destroying the future of your own posterity.

This evening Senator Josh Hawley released an email (via Twitter) showing the evacuation guidelines given by the administration to the U.S. officials on the ground in Kabul Afghanistan. The email details quoted instructions to Gregory A Floyd from someone in the administration speaking on behalf of Joe Biden.
As noted by Hawley: “This email was shared w/ me by an American official present in Afghanistan during the evacuation who was shocked by Administration’s failure to vet Afghans before they were evacuated. Email details orders from Joe Biden to fill up the planes – even without vetting:”
Team,
President Biden phoned Ambassador Wilson with the following directive about who to clear to board evacuation flights.
“1. Anyone with a valid form of ID should be given permission to go on a plane if that person plausibly falls into the categories we will evacuate: U.S. citizens and LPRs plus their immediate families, LES plus their immediate families, those entitled to an SIV, and Afghans at risk.
2. Families including women and children should be allowed through and held to fill out planes.
3. Total inflow to the U.S. must exceed the number of seats available. Err on the side of excess.”
This guidance provides clear discretion and direction to fill seats and to provide special consideration for women and children when we have seats. I expect that C17 flight volume will increase.

The FDA panel has voted 17 to 0 to approve the Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds. One of the FDA Panelists, Dr. Ruben, outlined his support by saying “We’re never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it. That’s the way it goes.”
Another panelist noted that 700 young people under the age of 18 have died ‘with‘ COVID, or COVID related symptoms in the past two years. With the full support of the FDA panel, the large scale rollout of the vaccine in young children will now head to the CDC for final approvals.
WASHINGTON DC – Vaccine advisers to the US Food and Drug Administration voted 17-0 with one abstention Tuesday to recommend Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine in children 5 to 11.
Members of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee agreed that the benefits of vaccinating younger children appeared to outweigh the risks, but some members appeared troubled about voting to vaccinate a large population of younger children based on studies of a few thousand.
“It is reassuring to me that we are giving a lower dose,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccine expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Pfizer has cut its vaccine to one-third of the adult dose for the children under 12.
“I am just worried that if we say yes, then the states are going to mandate administration of this vaccine for children to go to school and I do not agree with that,” said Dr. Cody Meissner, a professor of pediatrics at Tufts University School of Medicine. “I think that would be an error at this time.” (read more)

There is a great deal of political media time devoted to the Virginia gubernatorial election that takes place next week. There is also a major disconnect in the analysis of Virginia politics and what takes place there, so it’s worth pausing and reminding everyone about its unique status.
When an event happens in New York City, the scale of media coverage is so disproportionate to the issue it has historically been laughable. The media are centered in NYC, so the media focus on events in NYC as if the rest of the country cares. We don’t. A waterline break in a NYC subway station gets the scale of national media coverage as if Hoover dam collapsed; most Americans just roll their eyes.
However, because of the proximity to Washington DC, and because of where almost all the federal workers inside the DC system live, that same scale of skewed emphasis is also evident in Virginia when it comes to anything political.
Virginia politics is where the UniParty swamp creatures argue among themselves. In Virginia the elites in the DNC club debate their high-brow outlooks with the elites in the RNC club. Virginia is where the traditional DC political establishment of both clubs gather socially to pontificate about their importance in the world of everything political.
Is the whole state like this? No. However, the DC beltway is so influential and so populous the other parts of the state are essentially irrelevant to election outcomes.
As the U.S. federal government grew, so too did the swamp physically expand to make room for all the high-minded bureaucrats who run the machine. Northern and Eastern Virginia were taken over and absorbed into the swamp, the rest of Virginia was cast into the role of Oliver asking for a bit more soup.
When Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were talking about smelly WalMart people, they were really just encapsulating the reality that exists in Virginia, elites -vs- proles, they were not lying; they just said the accepted quiet part out loud and a lot more people saw it, that’s all.
What passes for an acceptable Republican in Virginia is the Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and John McCain brands. There is almost no difference between an establishment Republican and an establishment Democrat in this region. They eat together, hang out together, party together and generally live their best swamp life together. As a result, their election debates are usually on nuanced cultural issues.
In the widely covered current governors race, the difference between former governor Terry McAuliffe (Democrat) and first-time Republican candidate Glen Youngkin, is very small. The clubs keep it that way; and no, they do not care about your opinion. Anyone who challenges the internecine club system in Virginia will quickly see themselves removed, and the club(s) will modify the party rules to avoid any further encroachment.
Democrat Terry McAuliffe messed things up for his club when he said parents should not be able to influence what happens in their children’s schools. Republican Glen Youngkin seized on that opportunity to enhance his club….. and as usual, that’s now the central focal point of the Virginia race.
Notice, neither candidate talks much about forced vaccines, workers losing their jobs over vaccines, vaccine passports, tax punishments, job losses or inflation, because the club leaders have instructed the club candidates to chew the fat on an educational and cultural issue they deem to carry national importance. Additionally, notice how Youngkin will not talk positively about Donald Trump and has not wanted any support whatsoever from Trump because his consultants believe the MAGA mindset is too controversial for the electorate.
You may remember a similar scenario in 2014 when Tom Cotton was running for the Senate in Arkansas and the GOeP club (writ large) told Cotton to tone himself down to a light pastel in order to appeal to “moderate” and “women” voters. Unlike Youngkin, Tom Cotton refused the consultant advice and went full wolverine against the democrat incumbent Mark Pryor. Throughout the race club pollsters and DNC media said the Arkansas race was tight and Cotton would likely lose if he kept being aggressive and pro-constitution (a Tea Party theme) in his campaign. On election night, Cotton won by 17 points.
This milquetoast approach to elections is where the terms “suburban women’s vote” or “suburban soccer moms” comes back into play, as both clubs debate which club has better parenting skills. Meanwhile, the political consultants are paid to figure out which catch-phrase has the best cultural acceptance rate. Watching this level of political theater is almost as painful as being forced to watch CNN cover a blown water main in New York City, because inevitably we are going to hear the same tired narrative from the Republican pundit class…. “This has national implications.” No, no it doesn’t.
Vote for Youngkin because at least you’ll have a fighting chance and he’s not a communist. But don’t consider a state-wide race in Virginia, fraught with nuanced shades of purple, to be a referendum on how the nation feels as a whole. In Virginia the grassroots divisions are bold, but the party club divisions are almost invisible.
The Virginia Governor’s race is akin to two lovers debating whether Mercedes or BMW will be their next SUV….
…..And that is exactly why RNC President Ronna McDaniel is willing leave the spa a little early, put down her white wine spritzer, walk away from the crustless triangle sandwich buffet and give everyone her opinion on what really matters to American voters.

Everything about vaccinating children aged 5 to 11 for COVID-19 is wrong, on every level. There is an infinitesimally small risk for children from the COVID-19 virus or any variant, and that risk only presents in children with preexisting comorbidity (ie. something else already wrong).
As parents, grandparents and family members watching the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) closely on this issue, there is another alarming aspect to the influence of Big Pharma and politics in the vaccination debate.
As noted in this AP article about the FDA presumably deliberating today whether to approve the Pfizer vaccine for kids aged 5 to 11, note this tell-tale sign showing this ‘deliberation’ itself is a ruse:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kid-size doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine may be getting closer as government advisers on Tuesday began deliberating whether there’s enough evidence that the shots are safe and effective for 5- to 11-year-olds.
[…] States are getting ready to roll out shots for little arms — in special orange-capped vials to distinguish them from adult vaccine — as soon as the government gives the OK. (read more)
The pharmaceutical industry has already secured the special packaging, modified the kiddie materials, shipped the specialized doses, and done everything to stage the kids vaccine in the supply chain – BEFORE the FDA has approved the vaccine. This level of proactive expense by Pfizer tells us the FDA deliberation is a complete farce. Pfizer knows the vaccine approval is a foregone conclusion.
What we are talking about here is another level of evil entirely.
Obviously the political operatives within the FDA and CDC will approve the vaccine for kids, BigRx is paying them big money to push it.
It will not be long before schools will require it and parents will be forced to decide between homeschooling their kids or giving them an untested medical procedure they do not need. Everything about this is nuts, and infuriating.
Yes, private schools for unvaccinated kids are likely to eventually surface; but the premise behind the entire system creating the need for them is abject fraud.
