A Washington DC District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has temporarily blocked Biden from firing unvaccinated Federal workers. The judge found that the order was unconstitutional as it has failed to acknowledge employees seeking religious exemptions. “None of the civilian employee plaintiffs will be subject to discipline while his or her request for a religious exception is pending,” Kollar-Kotelly declared. US military members may not be prosecuted for their sincerely held beliefs. “[A]ctive duty military plaintiffs, whose religious exception requests have been denied, will not be disciplined or separated during the pendency of their appeals,” the judge noted.
Finally, someone is standing up to the Biden agenda and defending our liberties. If only more judges and people in positions of power were willing to stand up for We the People who they have sworn to protect.
The plaintiffs’ attorney Michael Yoder told Fox News that his aim was to defend the Constitution. “Thankfully, our Constitution protects and secures the right to remain free from religious persecution and coercion,” Yoder stated. “With this order, we are one step closer to putting the Biden administration back in its place by limiting government to its enumerated powers. It’s time citizens and courts said no to tyranny. The Constitution does not need to be rewritten, it needs to be reread.” Agreed — say no to tyranny.
The October 20, 2021, release of the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book revealed that the central bank is worried about American’s mental health, and with good reason. “Worries about employee mental health, burnout, safety, and vaccine mandates impacting company culture were mentioned,” the report noted. “Mental health disorders account for several of the top causes of disability in established market economies, such as the U.S., worldwide,” according to John Hopkins Medicine. The National Institute of Mental Health Disorders, part of the National Institutes of Health, originally reported that one in five adults experienced some form of mental illness, but that number has risen to one in four.
Before March 2020, 8.5% of American adults exhibited signs of depression, but that number has skyrocketed to over 27.8%, as reported by Medical News Today (MNT). Researchers noted that mass trauma events such as 9/11 have produced an uptick in depression, but nothing close to the downward spiral that resulted from COVID-19 restrictions. Unfortunately, MNT reported that people do not feel optimistic about the future, even with lifted restrictions.
Crumbling economies, fear-mongering from all media stations, continually changing rules, social isolation, unemployment, lack of exercise, school closings, separation from loved ones, and lockdowns are among the many factors that have deteriorated world health. Both in-person essential workers, who were told they were constantly at risk of contracting the virus, and telehealth workers reported severe distress in the workplace. “Telework can increase the risks of working long hours and burnout – managing the balance of work and life has been particularly hard for working parents juggling professional responsibilities along with increased childcare and home schooling burden,” the OECD reported. The EU voted on new policies to prevent worker burnout, following countries such as France, Italy, Spain, and Luxembourg that have adopted “the right to disconnect,” which states disconnecting from work, primarily electronic, is now a human right.
In America, we are still 5 million workers short of achieving maximum employment. Before the pandemic, the CDC reported that “depression interferes with a person’s ability to complete physical job tasks about 20% of the time and reduces cognitive performance about 35% of the time.” This means about 27.8% of Americans are struggling to actively perform their jobs. “Only 57% of employees who report moderate depression and 40% of those who report severe depression receive treatment to control depression symptoms.” As anyone who lives in the US knows, medical care is a luxury, and mental health treatment is an expensive indulgence out of reach for many.
Another reason unemployed Americans have yet to return to the workforce is due to the toll the pandemic took on their mental well-being. The Pew Research Center conducted a study that found nearly 49% of unemployed adults are pessimistic about finding employment again. Numerous studies have shown that unemployed individuals experience higher rates of depression and may lack the energy needed to continue working, especially after prolonged unemployment. In order to reach maximum employment worldwide, the mental health crisis needs to be addressed. Our leaders in government must understand how their policies have crippled the world’s health, and time will tell if their actions can be undone.

As the impacts of the various vaccination mandates take shape, it is worth a review of the current status as it impacts you and your family on a local basis.
As noted by a reader in Washington state, the cleaving of society on vaccinated status is having an unusual impact on many regions even within individual states.
As one anecdotal report is told, the eastern side of Washington state is essentially functioning as before the vaccination mandate; while the western side is seeing a substantial breakdown in local civic society.
Mandates by local officials are creating issues for local services. Local police, fire and first responders are leaving their jobs, creating issues for those in the leftist side of Washington state. Meanwhile the eastern, or more conservative side of the state, is relatively not impacted.
In another cleaving anecdote one business owner in southern California has told a rebel alliance member to discontinue the use of services from a vendor who does not share the leftist political perspectives of the owner; while other right-minded business owners (in the same industry) are looking specifically to gain advantage by seeking out vendors who are skilled, stable and independent.
As would be expected, the vaccination cleaving is creating two unique classes of workers and owners/operators. Those with the best expertise, skillset and work ethic all fall into the group who are more independently minded and not prone to the inherent peer pressure created by the vaccine mandate.
While the data is all still raw in this new cleaved socioeconomic environment, it does appear -in the aggregate- the unvaxxed are better workers, better problem solvers and carry a stronger work ethic. The vaxxed workforce, owners and operators appear less than.
This brings up an interesting dynamic that is still unfolding amid various regions. So the questions posed are these:
What do you see in your town, hamlet, city, neighborhood and/or region?
How are the various vaccine mandates impacting your area?
Additionally, what opportunities or challenges do you see currently? Do you see any benefits to the cleaving as it appears to be underway? Do you have any advice for readers who might be stuck behind enemy lines?
Leaked White House audio shows that the Department of Justice (DoJ) understands that religious Americans may feel morally opposed to the vaccine as it contains or was tested on aborted fetal tissue. Furthermore, the DoJ acknowledged that those people are religiously exempt by law from taking the vaccine. Yet, Biden maintains that federal workers who refuse the vaccine for any reason will lose their jobs.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was designed to protect workers from religious discrimination if they have a “sincerely held belief.” However, some employers are requesting that employees admit whether they use common medicine such as Tums, Motrin, Tylenol, Benadryl, Claritin, and Aspirin among others as they were also developed using fetal cells. In the leaked audio, a lawyer from the DoJ states employees can honestly say they did not know that those medications were tested on fetal cells and will discontinue their use.
Lawmakers are claiming that since religious leaders are backing the vaccine mandate, then their constituents are obligated to abide, which is simply not true. Epotch TV reporter Roman Balmakov spoke with an attorney who stated that it is completely illegal for employers to dissect someone’s religious beliefs, as that is discrimination, and Americans are allowed to hold different beliefs than their religious leaders.
James Madison penned a clause in the first amendment that declares Americans have the right to hold their own spiritual convictions and beliefs. Therefore, vaccine mandates violate our constitutional rights as Americans, and our president is attempting to eliminate the freedoms that this country was founded upon.
First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

When I first saw the headline about Joe Biden paying illegal aliens $450,000 per person in reparations, I thought it was a joke. So I contacted a friend who works for DHS in Washington DC to check. I just received independent confirmation this story is entirely legit.
The Justice Department, Health and Human Services and Dept of Homeland Security are in negotiations with representatives from the ACLU and lawyers representing illegal aliens to pay out $1,000,000 per family for the hardship they endured in crossing the border illegally in 2017 and 2018. Approximately 1,000 families will each receive a million dollars giving the total settlement a taxpayer cost of around $1 billion or more.
WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.
The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents families in one of the lawsuits, has identified about 5,500 children separated at the border over the course of the Trump administration, citing figures provided to it by the government. The number of families eligible under the potential settlement is expected to be smaller, the people said, as government officials aren’t sure how many will come forward. Around 940 claims have so far been filed by the families, the people said.
The total potential payout could be $1 billion or more. (read more, paywall)
Not everyone in DHS or DOJ agrees with this massive payout to illegal aliens. However, the pressure from within the system to pay off those who were impacted by separation in the 2018 border security program is likely to end up being successful.

The ivermectin controversy continues to unfold worldwide as many doctors prescribing the drug, successfully they might add, face growing scrutiny and even heavy-handed tactics leading to censorship and other repressive policies from governments and physician licensing boards. The latest news takes the TrialSite community to the shores of Lake Leman in French-speaking Switzerland. Apparently, doctors at Hospital Riviera-Chablais have been successfully treating patients here for COVID-19 since January 2021. According to physicians, 350 to 400 patients have been successfully treated, helping them to overcome COVID-19. But too much success broadcast on social media generates attention from elites in high places. As patients raved online of a great track record associated with ivermectin, the hospital’s Medical Committee undoubtedly was contacted by some powerful people—from within Switzerland and without. They summarily banned the use of ivermectin in this Swiss hospital, declaring that “only national and international recommendations concerning the treatment of COVID-19 should guide the management of COVID-19 cases,” reported Christophe Schull, Head of Communications.
As reported by local French-speakingL’Impertinent Media in Switzerland, a recent move by the hospital’s leadership, which includes all of its chief medical officers, evidences an outright purge of any early-onset COVID-19 care treatments not ordained by international and national standards.
An unprecedented almost international takeover of medicine itself, doctors are now subject to national and, even more disturbingly, international rules or standards promulgated by faceless bureaucrats—even politicians—all, of course, influenced by the deep pockets of industry.
While the executives that run this local hospital cite “current literature” that the drug “does not demonstrate any benefit” for the treatment of COVID-19, another point of view suggests these actions reflect a top-down, specialist-interest-driven, biased information war that now reaches from the highest international power structures down to the local practice of medicine.
TrialSite includes what is more of an objective, unbiased ivermectin fact sheet. In contrast, the Swiss HRC hospital leadership follows what bureaucrats at the World Health Organization or those at the national level in Switzerland declare. Doctors seemingly have little to no say anymore with their patients.
Use of ‘Experts’ to Trounce Doctor’s & Patient’s Rights
COVID-19 represents a convenient cover for what is, in fact, an unfolding geopolitical event, one that will permanently reset every facet of society. In this unprecedented takeover of the practice of medicine by a combination of supranational and subordinated national forces,a global reconfiguration of power, money and political influence usurp healthcare, the ultimate control over one’s very existence—the determination of life and death. Prominent academicians are employed to justify or validate what in some cases emerges as unconscionable moves, such as intervening between the care of a local doctor and consenting patient. Much like priests were used in medieval times to reinforce a draconian and, in reality, barbaric top-down order, esteemed medical professors and researchers now declare to the world what is safe to use versus what is taboo. Switzerland’s Professor Oriol Manuel, a CHUV professor, summarily decides on ivermectin’s fate for those doctors and patients at HRC—permanently interrupting the essential local physician and patient relationship.
Call to Action: For those in Switzerland who want to know who decided that they couldn’t receive ivermectin from their local doctor, the answer is Professor Oriol Manuel.
(From PETA’s website: “To keep driving the message home, PETA supporters in giant blow-up dinosaur costumes have been following the president to various events carrying signs that read, ‘Biden: Don’t Appoint Another NIH Dinosaur.’”
PETA has finally spoken out against Dr. Fauci’s cruel experiments on beagle puppies. When the news was first released, the agency was banning anyone who tweeted them about Fauci, but now, PETA is calling upon the Biden Administration to fire all National Institute of Health heads. Although PETA certainly has their own extremist views on other topics, they are making valid points about how utterly unnecessary these very expensive tests have been.
PETA Vice President Kathy Guillermo appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show in 2019 and explained how 90% of studies on animals ultimately fail to produce viable medications for humans. Yet, half of NIH funding goes toward experiments on animals. She said that animals are cheap, universities and agencies receive large amounts of funding to carry out these “experiments,” and most of them are done in secrecy.
Newsmax directly asked Guillermo if she thought Fauci should resign, and without hesitation, she said, “Yes!” As a reminder, the Food and Drug Administration does not require animal testing to pass new drugs. PETA has raised the flag and called for NIH Francis Collins to resign for conducting similarly cruel experiments. Fauci’s experiments “amounted to lies,” and Guillermo is now calling on Americans to urge President Biden to remove Fauci from office.
Billions of taxpayer dollars are going toward these experiments that have not produced any significant improvements toward human life. PETA’s page to remove Collins notes, “Eighty-nine percent of preclinical experiments can’t even be reproduced—which is fundamental to good science—resulting in an annual waste of $28 billion.” An annual waste of $28 billion is beyond alarming. Fauci has moved on to testing drug concoctions on humans, and we need to wake up and realize that we have become the new sample group.

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis has a lot to celebrate today as the sunshine state becomes the lowest state in the U.S. for COVID cases with a rate of 9 per 100k residents.
Within the data, the state also reports 147,000 Floridians have received monoclonal antibody treatments at 25 locations throughout the state. Those treatment centers are available for anyone who is diagnosed by a positive COVID test, and it is making a significant difference in hospitalizations. Well done DeSantis!
Press Release: “As a result of Governor Ron DeSantis’ leadership and our data-driven approach free of mandates, the State of Florida has one of the lowest COVID-19 daily average case rates in the last 7 days per 100,000 residents in the United States.
“Without mandates or lockdowns, COVID-19 cases in Florida have decreased 90% since August,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In addition to cases, hospitalizations have plummeted in our state. This has been accomplished by making monoclonal antibody treatments and vaccines widely available throughout our state while protecting Floridians from government overreach.”
“As Florida now ranks lowest in the continental US in terms of COVID-19 rates per capita, we are proud to have stood firm in protecting liberty throughout the pandemic,” said Lieutenant Governor Nuñez. “Governor DeSantis’ approach was guided by science, data, and pragmatism, not fear and alarmist narratives.”
Since August:
COVID cases in school-aged children have decreased 87% since schools started; and, Cases in young adults ages 18 to 24 decreased 93%.
“Under the Governor’s leadership, Florida has continued to take innovative approaches to the COVID-19 response – and it is incredible to see the data showing this success,” said State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. “Moving forward, we must continue focusing on data and evidence to make public health decisions and not allow such decisions to be politicized.”
“Protecting our seniors and Florida’s front line health care workers from the impacts of COVID-19 has been and continues to be a priority for Governor DeSantis,” said Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Simone Marstiller. “His data-driven, forward-thinking approach to tackling the impacts of COVID-19 are working. He has empowered Florida families to make the best decisions for their circumstances and kept them in their homes and communities and out of our hospitals.”
Since launching state-run monoclonal antibody sites in August:
More than 147,000 Floridians have received treatments at our 25 locations; and Hospitalizations have decreased 87%. (more)
