The Orwellian Brandon regime is testing we the people.  We must not yield to this dear leader uncle Joe dystopia.  The regime is losing control of the people on every issue as we are all in on the resistance.  We must hold here because it is on this issue that we will become an authoritarian regime or we will break his Presidency.  Never give up!  Now red states are openly hiring people being fired in blue ones over this matter.  It’s on.

Biden Forced Americans Into A Game Of Chicken Over Their Livelihoods, And They’re Not Flinching


Somebody's got to give in this game of chicken, and Biden is gambling that it will be you. It's time to make sure he loses that bet.



There’s this iconic scene in the 1984 “Footloose” where Kevin Bacon’s city-boy character Ren McCormack goes head-to-head with his macho antagonist Chuck Cranston to show who’s the bigger man in a game of “chicken.”

The two young men mount tractors on opposite ends of a single-lane road facing each other and drive full speed ahead to see who flinches first. In this hazardous game, one of them must swerve off the path, or both could die in the head-on collision — but the first one to swerve will be dubbed the “chicken” for his cowardice. After Ren’s shoelace gets caught on the throttle, keeping him unwittingly on the path, Chuck embarrassingly barrels off his rig at the bitter end into a ditch of water — right in front of his girlfriend, who subsequently falls in love with the victor.

That scene keeps coming to mind as President Joe Biden’s administration squares off with the American people. The president who promised unity, leadership, and a return to normalcy has challenged you to a game of chicken, is charging at you, and is waiting for you to flinch.

Biden’s Game of Chicken


Nowhere has this intimidation tactic been as clear as with medically coercive vaccine mandates. Near the start of Biden’s tenure, after shots were rolled out quickly thanks to Trump’s efforts, Biden left no doubt about his position: It wasn’t just that vaccines were good, but that everyone who was eligible for a vaccine should get one as soon as possible.

So Americans began doing calculations. Many who knew that their risk factors were heightened prudently jumped in line for the first available shots, but others not so much. Lots of pregnant women paused, unwilling to undertake extra risks quite yet. Many others with natural immunity decided to sit this one out for a while, as did a horde of the young and healthy, who have never been at serious risk of dying from COVID-19 .

After shooting up immediately, vaccination numbers then stalled, which didn’t please the Democrat administration that had promised to shut down the virus. Biden’s patience began “ wearing thin .”

And so there were talks of vaccine passports. New York City instituted them, and federal bureaucrats such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention touted them as a potential “ path forward ” in July. At that time, Biden was toying with the idea of requiring shots, not just for medical workers, but for all federal employees.

Opponents were seeing the writing on the wall. When the ruling class began medically segregating people into first- and second-class citizens, the fight became less about the necessity of universal vaccination and more about the importance of medical freedom. And instead of falling in lockstep with the administration’s goals, Biden’s detractors began piling onto the opposing tractor.

Biden didn’t veer. He forged full speed ahead with the declaration that in addition to all federal workers, all private workers for companies with at least 100 employees would need to get the jab or get endlessly tested, reportedly affecting more than 80 million private-sector Americans.

Despite this fascist announcement being nothing more than a press release , companies caved to the president’s wishes left and right. From hospitals and major airlines, to police departments and universities, head honchos adopted Biden’s refrain: Get a COVID shot or be fired. With alarming authoritarianism, Biden and the private sector chiefs he deputized to enforce his vaxx ambitions went full throttle.

A Refusal to Flinch


Something remarkable has occurred in response. Countless American workers have remained unflinching. Instead of veering off the path, they’ve held the line, turning in their boots, hanging up their scrubs, and unpinning their wings.

While the number of administered vaccine doses trended up slightly at the end of September and beginning of October, the jump wasn’t drastic — and it actually appeared to coincide with a rise in booster shots. According to the data , the number of fully vaxxed Americans has gone up only 3 percentage points since Biden’s fearmongering private-sector declaration more than a month ago on Sept. 9.

Instead, what we’ve seen day after day are brave men and women who either kept driving ahead with worker strikes or counted the cost of medical freedom and opted to completely walk away from their careers. It’s working . The more workers refuse to comply, the more other employees are emboldened to join them. And the more these freedom-fighters pile on, the more their bosses learn things don’t go so smoothly when the employees you rely on for everyday operations quit en masse.

Take what happened with Southwest Airlines, which was forced to cancel several thousand flights just days after it mandated the vaccine for workers. A rumored “sickout” resulted in reportedly only three out of 33 air traffic controllers showing up to work.

Despite Southwest’s denial that the mayhem was a result of its vaxx policy, after several days of chaos, the airline changed course and walked back its pledge to begin putting workers who applied for vaccine exemptions on unpaid leave in December. As The Federalist reported on Wednesday, sources said that part of Southwest’s meltdown was because pilots took their paid sick leave shortly before they were scheduled to be fired.

A San Francisco In-N-Out is displaying the same courage, with the local health department shutting it down for not checking patrons’ vaccination status.

“We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government,” In-N-Out Chief Legal and Business Officer Arnie Wensinger told Newsweek.  “We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business. This is a clear government overreach.”

Noncompliant health workers are quitting or being fired in droves. By Monday, one-third of Chicago’s desperately needed police were reportedly still unvaccinated, opting for unpaid leave over getting the shot. Seattle police officers and firefighters are getting similar treatment. After being fired for refusing to comply with medically coercive mandates, the brave first responders fed the homeless and then marched up to City Hall to return their boots.

The fact is, this is the beginning of the fight, and if Americans chicken out and comply against their convictions, it will be the end of medical freedom. Several thousand workers across a few industries might be expendable to the COVID authoritarians right now, but weak points can only withstand so much pressure. The worker shortage is only getting worse.

Somebody’s got to give in this game of chicken, and Biden is gambling that it will be you. It’s time to make sure he loses that bet. Timid Americans are holding out for a hero , for a reason not to just give in and get this strong-arming over with — but we’ll never escape tyranny by capitulating to it. Be the hero they need. When freedom is at stake, don’t barrel off. Go full throttle.

DeSantis to propose $5K bonus to lure police officers to Florida from states with vaccine mandates

Are you a law enforcement officer looking to move? Turns out a plan may be in the works to pay you to do so, in fact.

On Sunday Morning Futures , hosted by Maria Bartiromo, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is proposing to do exactly that. He outlined on the show a plan in the works to give police officers fleeing liberal cities money to entice them to make the trek to Florida.

DeSantis spoke about the controversial vaccine mandate imposed by the administration of President Joe Biden, and castigated the way it has led to job losses in critical sectors such as health care, police, and even military. The Republican governor tried to draw a contrast between himself and the way Democratic leaders have treated these essential workers:

“Maria these people we’ve been hailing as heroes, the nurses we’ve said, are heroes. This whole time, they’ve been working day in and day out, they never, they couldn’t do their job on Zoom – they had to be there! And they did it, they did it with honor and integrity. And now, you have people, who wanna kick them out of their job, over a shot, which is basically a personal decision.”

DeSantis also took the opportunity to criticize the Biden administration’s mandate and question its basic legality, as well as question its impact on the very Americans it is allegedly trying to help.

“What Biden’s doing is unconstitutional. He does not have the authority to do this,” he said. “But what it will do on a practical level, in addition to it being unconstitutional, in addition to taking away people’s personal choices, is it will wreak havoc in the economy. Because even if a small percentage of these folks end up losing their jobs or voluntarily walking away. You’re going to have huge disruptions.”

In Florida, however, DeSantis made it clear he wants to take the opposite approach, and is even willing to offer financial incentives to law enforcement officers who decide to pack up and move to the Sunshine State.

“In Florida, our policy is very clear. We’re going to have a special session and say nobody should lose their job based off these injections. It’s a choice you should make but we want to make sure we’re protecting your jobs and your livelihoods,” he said, adding, “In the next legislative session I’m going to hopefully sign legislation that gives a $5,000 bonus to any out-of-state law enforcement who relocates to Florida.”

The proposal appears to be taking direct aim at both Biden and blue states, and in particular the biggest, most liberal cities within those blue states …

Indiana lures disgruntled cops from neighbouring state with the promise of no vaccine mandate

is trying to lure disgruntled police officers from neighbouring where thousands of Chicago city police officers are being punished for not complying with the city's new vaccination mandate.

All of Chicago Police Department's (CPD) roughly 13,000 officers were required to share their vaccine status from October 15, and those that are not vaccinated will be required to be tested for Covid-19 twice per week.

Those that don't follow the mandate risk being suspended and having their pay withheld, leading to an escalating dispute between the city and police union.

But as the argument rages in Chicago, Indiana has looked to capitalise on the dispute by trying to lure CPD officers to the Indiana State Police.

'Hey Chicago police officers, we're hiring!' an Indiana State Police spokesman Sgt. Glen Fifield said in a tweet on Thursday. 'No vaccine mandate … lower taxes, great schools, welcoming communities.'

U.S. Senator Mike Braun also tried to lure officers across the state border….

Covid has dropped dramatically in Florida as well as other red states.  Florida is like #48 in per capita cases now.  The seed isn’t just about Florida and Indiana.  It’s about an all out nationwide resistance to mandates and government coercion.  The resistance will not blink.  Biden needs to backdown on these oppressive mandates.

If the resistance is that stupid then they deserve what they get. Fuck them.

Best not to quote numbers in Florida to me, I actually live here and Florida is and was no haven from COVID.

How did California go from COVID-19 epicenter to lowest statewide transmission rate?

Before you start spouting the blue state red state BS you best check out the worst states for COVID transmissions or is that above your paygrade?

Screenshot-10_21_2021-9_19_11-AM-758x501.jpg Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is once again showing leadership in a country that is going off the rails. On Thursday morning, DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw announced that the governor is calling a special legislative session to pass protections for workers’ medical rights.

Governor DeSantis just announced a special session to pass legislation to protect Floridians’ medical freedom and right to earn a living!” Pushaw tweeted. “Florida is fighting back against unjust and unscientific mandates.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has made himself enemy #1 of the Covid tyrants by showing that the state can withstand the coronavirus pandemic without severely curbing the rights of citizens. Despite having one of the nation’s highest elderly populations, the state has once again weathered a seasonal spike and still falls below restrictive states like New York and New Jersey in terms of state Covid-related mortality rate. The state’s case rate has fallen 90% since mid-August without locking down or implementing vaccine mandates.

Last week, the Florida Department of Health issued its first fine to a county that allegedly violated the state’s ban on vaccine mandates, Fox News reported . Leon County was fined $3.5 million for violating the state’s ban on the practice after it fired 14 workers for being unvaccinated.

“No one should lose their job because of COVID shots,” DeSantis said on Twitter. “We must protect the jobs of Floridians and preserve the ability of Floridians to make their own decisions regarding what shots to take.”

In addition to outlawing firing workers for being unvaccinated, Florida’s governor has signed legislation banning vaccine passports and arbitrary lockdowns. The state now appears to be poised to protect workers from President Biden’s still-unissued federal vaccine mandate. The nation could use about 49 more governors like Ron DeSantis.

TAKE THAT, BIDEN! Florida Now Has The Lowest Covid Infection Rate In The Country

by Clayton Keirns about 2 hours ago

DESANTIS-2-758x420.jpg Ever since Joe Biden was installed into the White House, he took repeated jabs at Florida for “not following the science”. Biden even attempted to cut off supply of the life-saving Monoclonal Antibody treatment, but thankfully Governor Ron DeSantis took matters into his own hands and personally ordered enough supply for his people.

Now, Biden and the Democrats are eating major crow.

The latest numbers show that Florida now has the lowest Covid infection rate in the country. Take that, Biden! Look below:

Much to Biden’s dismay, Florida isn’t the only southern state who is experience a decrease in cases.

According to the Daily Caller , “the number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Region 4, which consists of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, is down more than 73% since Sept. 1, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In HHS Region 3 (Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia), hospitalizations surged almost 1,000% from late-July to late-September, and have hardly fallen since.”

“Over the past two weeks, only four states saw a double-digit increase in COVID-19 hospitalization rate: Michigan, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Colorado,” the Daily Caller continues. “At the same time, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana all saw reductions in hospitalization rate of at least 30%,” they add.

I wonder why the media is quiet about this news? Maybe it’s because they are secretly dreading the fact that their least-favorite state is crushing Covid.…

A Refusal To Flinch

Something remarkable has occurred in response. Countless American workers have remained unflinching. Instead of veering off the path, they’ve held the line, turning in their boots, hanging up their scrubs, and unpinning their wings.

It doesn’t seem that they went on an illegal strike so firing them may not be that easy.  The resistance to the mandate but not to the vaccine itself grows.  Some being fired are vaccinated but refusing to show their papers to the government.
