Biden Blew off Law That Could Have Warned Congress of Coming Debacle in Afghanistan – RedState

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump left 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. But when Joe Biden came in, he was barred from using money from the Department of Defense budget to reduce the number below 2,000 by federal statute, “without first briefing Congress about the expected impact on U.S. counterterrorism operations and the risk to American personnel” and providing a detailed report, according to the Free Beacon.

He was required to report on ISIS, the Taliban, al Qaeda, the risk for the expansion of terrorism, and the capacity of the Afghan security forces to deal with them all.

Of course, Biden did reduce the troop numbers below that — to nothing — and waived the mandate requiring him to brief Congress in June, that it was important to the interests of national security. Some “mandate,” if he can just waive it. If he had not done so, they could have talked about all the terrorist risk which if it wasn’t clear before, is certainly clear now — with thousands of ISIS-K fighters…

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON — The special counsel who investigated Russia’s 2016 election interference, Robert S. Mueller III, scrutinized “a member of the news media suspected of participating in the conspiracy” to hack Democrats and make their emails public, the Justice Department disclosed on Wednesday.

The deputy attorney general at the time, Rod J. Rosenstein, who was overseeing the Russia investigation, approved a subpoena in 2018 for the unnamed person’s phone and email records. He also approved seeking a voluntary interview with that person and then issuing a subpoena to force the person to testify before a grand jury, the department said.

“All of this information was necessary to further the investigation of whether the member of the news media was involved in the conspiracy to unlawfully obtain and utilize the information from the hacked political party or other victims,” the department said.

No member of the news media was charged with conspiring in the hack-and-dump…

Ivo Fysic September 2, 2021

Woketarianz Inc is about to use its lobby dollars to attempt to carve out a fat space of the sweet infrastrucutre bill. DNC apparatchiks are looking to keep some hold on the Tiger of Silicon Valley through new regulations that create more dependency on state approval on the new Woketarianz powers.

In the hallls of congress, it is about to get real, where two real powers dangle cash and promises around behind the scenes, horse trading our potential future options away for personal gain and little else. The Woketarianz Inc versus the Woketarianz DNC is about to get real. Let’s see if any cancel weapons are deployed against each other in the battle for the spoils of the fatty infrastructure bill.

‘They’re Going to Lose,’ Says Sanders as Corporations Mobilize Against $3.5T Bill

Excerpt:

Sen. Bernie Sanders has expressed confidence that congressional Democrats will be able to overcome an aggressive corporate lobbying campaign against their popular $3.5 trillion reconciliation proposal, which special interests are aiming to strip of climate investments, Medicare expansion, taxes on big businesses, and other key progressive priorities.

“These guys don’t lose,” Sanders (I-Vt.), the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, told the Washington Post earlier this summer when asked about the lobbying effort. “They’re going to lose this round.”

“We will expand Medicare to provide dental, vision, and hearing coverage to benefit seniors, not to pad the profits of healthcare industry CEOs.”
—Sen. Bernie Sanders

The Post, which published Sanders’ remarks on Tuesday, offered a detailed look at the “massive lobbying blitz” that corporate America has launched in recent days in a bid to water down—or kill entirely—the reconciliation package, a centerpiece of President Joe Biden’s…

The CDC’s Framing of Homicide and Suicide As ‘Public Health’ Issues Provides Cover for Biden’s Gun Control Agenda – Reason.com

Excerpt:

As director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Rochelle Walensky has a lot on her plate right now—perhaps too much, given her history of misrepresenting COVID-19 research, promoting dangerously mixed messages about vaccination, issuing confusing and scientifically dubious advice, and laying claim to vast powers that Congress never gave her. But Walensky’s pandemic-related duties did not deter her from publicly switching focus to a highly contentious subject that has always spelled trouble for the CDC: gun violence.

“Something has to be done about this,” Walensky told CNN last week. “Now is the time. It’s pedal-to-the-metal time.”

Although that metaphor suggests hasty action, Walensky emphasized that she is not calling for new gun controls. “I’m not here about gun control,” she said. “I’m here about preventing gun violence and gun death.”

In Walensky’s view, the CDC needs to investigate the causes of gun-related deaths so that…

Excerpt:

Tuesday, Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan did not rule out providing aid to the Taliban following the United States’ withdrawal out of Afghanistan.

Sullivan told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” that giving aid to the Taliban “will be about whether the terrorist organization follows through on its commitments,” including safe passage for Americans and Afghan allies.

“[F]irst of all, we do believe that there is an important dimension of humanitarian assistance that should go directly to the people of Afghanistan,” Sullivan outlined. “They need help with respect to health and food aid and other forms of subsistence, and we do intend to continue that. Secondly, when it comes to our economic and development assistance relationship with the Taliban, that will be about the Taliban’s actions. It will be about whether they follow through on their commitments, their commitments to safe passage for Americans and Afghan allies, their commitment to not…

CA Bill Would Regulate Amazon Worker Workflow Tracking

Ivo Fysic August 31, 2021

Amazon is one of the new international corporate powers that has budgets that rival some nation-states. The pushback by nation-states to try to reign in these unaccountable leviathons is going on across multiple fronts. In California, a legislature seeks to tilt the balance of power back in the favor of the state by passing new regulations that would require Amazon track the workflow of each person to assure Amazon is not working their people to death.

As far as workers are concerned, this might be a win for them, though, to be sure, it is the incidental fruit of a win for the state to keep Amazon aware of the power balance, at the end of the day, between the state and the international corporate leviathon.

California lawmakers take on Amazon warehouses with AB 701

Excerpt:

California lawmakers are taking aim at Amazon.

An Assembly-passed bill is expected to reach the Senate floor this week or next to crack down on the opaque, algorithm-led and harsh warehouse work conditions often attributed to the Seattle technology behemoth.

The bill, the first such legislation in the nation, would require warehouses to disclose quotas and work speed metrics to employees and government agencies. It would ban “time off task” penalties that affect health and safety, including bathroom use, and prohibit retaliation against workers who complain.

Amazon dominates online shopping across the nation amid a surge in e-commerce fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic. With 950,000 U.S. employees and $368 billion in revenue in 2020, it is the nation’s second-largest employer after Walmart, and is under growing pressure to address worker injuries in its supply chain.

State Trooper #1

Cuomo is accused of sexually harassed a state trooper, referred to in the report as Trooper #1, who he hired onto his protective detail in 2017 – bending the three-year experience requirement.

Although she had only completed two years on the force, the governor reportedly wanted the unnamed trooper in his inner circle.

He is said to have asked a senior member of his security detail to add her to the team even though she did not meet the standard requirement.

‘Ha ha, they changed the minimum from 3 years to 2 just for you,’ the senior security member told the trooper in an email, which was included in the AG’s report.

Once she was on his team, he allegedly harassed her on a number of occasions, including one where he ran his hand across her stomach from her belly button to her right hip while she was holding the door open for him at an event.

Big Virtue, Amazon, Accused of Interfering with Union Vote……Again

Ivo Fysic August 30, 2021

One of the new mega virtuous corporations of the 21st Century, Amazon, is finding its public image as champion of social justice not aligned with how it actually treats its employees, allegedly.

Already, one attempt to form a union was stymied in Atlanta, only to have a court order a new vote because of Amazon’s interference in the election process. Now, the same thing appears to be happening again, this time in their NY branch.

Consistently, wokism is a cover and shield for real abuses, not least of which the overt authoritarianism which underlies the entire wokatariate. Companies fly the rainbow flag and root out anyone who isn’t down with the alt-gendered utopian misery they inflict upon all, this while being no better than modern robber baron cartels and sweatshops.

Amazon union organizer in NY says opposition tactics similar to those in Alabama

Excerpt:

The organizer behind unionization efforts at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island says the e-commerce giant is using similar tactics to ones used at an Alabama facility earlier this year.

Chris Smalls, a former Amazon employee who launched an independent campaign at the JFK8 fulfillment center, told Hill.TV that the methods being used in New York mimic those from Bessemer, Ala.

“We’re seeing the same thing we’ve seen in Bessemer, Alabama. The company’s putting up signs in restrooms. They sent out text messages to the workers,” Smalls said. “They actually have security now escorting or trying to escort us off the property, and these are current workers they’re doing this to.”

“Amazon has always had issues with communication,” Smalls said. “Workers have to refer to a phone app for direction most of the time. They send messages on these apps thinking that workers are in tune of what they have to do on their first day or first week, and that’s not really the…

TikTok Accused of Allowing Racist, Phobic Content by Social Non-Profits

Ivo Fysic August 30, 2021

China’s favorit American data harvester, TikTok, has largely slid under the radar these past few years as its risen to be one of the major social media players in America alone.

Well, with success comes big targets, and , it would seem, the honeymoon is over for TikTok. Now, the Cancel Culture world is coming for TikTok. Soon, there will be articles talking about TikTok funnels leading to people literally becoming the evil of whatever the worst evils you could ever imagine a people to be.

This should be very amusing to watch, the uneasy dance of the frenemies, DNC America and CCP China, jabbing here and helping there. How TikTok is given protection or not given protection in the DNC controlled media will be another bellweather to determine where the DNC understands its power relevant to the CCP really is.

While social media has provided a lot of benefits to people’s lives, it has also given some truly unsavory characters a platform that they would not have otherwise been able to take advantage of. A good example of this can be seen on TikTok which ended up becoming a bit of a haven for various people that wanted to spew racist rhetoric and created content that propagated more of the same.TikTok pledged to make it so that hate speech and other related forms of content would not be given the same kind of platform that they have had previously, but with all of that having been said and now out of the way it is important to note that things are not really going all that successfully on that particular front. A study by Institute for Strategic Dialogue looked at over a thousand TikTok videos, and the researchers noted that a third of them contained content that promoted white supremacy or some other kind of racist and hate filled ideology that the world would most definitely be…
