I think that Biden may be using Covid as an excuse to significantly rule by decree, and in the specific instance of mandating the Covid vaccines, is using the emergency powers of OSHA to practically do so.

It is all so legal, eh?

Chief of Staff Ron Klain's re-tweet of this comment seems to support my suspicion:

Kind of reminds of another one of those pesky bits of history:

The "Enabling Act" (March 24, 1933)

Hitler had decided to build his dictatorship through a largely legal process. His next important step along that road was to emasculate the Reichstag by transferring its legislative authority to the Reich government. Such a fundamental change to the Weimar Constitution required a two-thirds majority, however. When, after eliminating the Communists, Hitler was still 31 votes short, he persuaded the German Center Party to approve this measure. During the Reichstag session in Berlin’s Kroll Opera House on March 23, 1933, Hitler falsely claimed that this new law was not tantamount to the abolition of the Reichstag, since he would use his new legislative authority over the next four years only in emergencies.

But, what the Hell, the German people, not dissimilar to the American people now wrestling with Covid, were in distress.

US drone strike killed 'ISIS-K planner' in Afghanistan, Pentagon says
The Pentagon says the "target" was killed in the attack

Reference: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-...-pentagon-says

Well, it looks like President Senility may have screwed-up again:

Fox News, quoting the New York Times, is reporting that the Biden administration targeted the wrong party in its drone strike which responded to the Kabul attack that killed 13 American servicemen.

The report also suggests that the mistargeted strike killed a United States aid worker who was distributing water.

From the New York Post:

Biden droned the wrong guy, innocent aid worker killed in Kabul strike: NYT


By Steven Nelson

September 10, 2021 7:11pm Updated


A US airstrike in Kabul against a supposed Islamic State bomber actually killed an innocent man who worked for a US aid group and his family, according to newly published testimony and footage — raising the specter that the Pentagon lied to the public about the strike.

The reported case of mistaken identity also further tars President Biden for his chaotic pullout of US troops from Afghanistan, which left behind hundreds of US citizens and thousands of at-risk Afghans.

Zemari Ahmadi and nine members of his family, including seven children, were killed in the airstrike on Aug. 29, one day before the final US evacuation flights from Kabul, his brother Romal Ahmadi told the New York Times.

Ahmadi, who was the apparent target of the strike, worked for 14 years as a technical engineer in Afghanistan for the Pasadena, Calif.-based charity group Nutrition and Education International, which feeds hungry Afghans.

The aid group had applied for him to move to the US as a refugee.

New security footage from his workplace shows Ahmadi, whose neighborhood had unreliable water service, filling containers with water at his employer’s office at 2:35 p,m. shortly before he returned home. Fire-damaged containers consistent with the water canisters were photographed by the Times.

He and colleagues, who had driven to work, also were carrying laptop computers that day, according to security footage, possibly explaining the military’s claim that the targeted Toyota Corolla contained carefully wrapped packages.

The Times disputed the Pentagon’s claim that secondary explosions demonstrated that explosive materials were ignited by the US Reaper drone’s Hellfire missile.

The aging walls near Ahmadi’s car were not toppled by the airstrike or by any subsequent explosions.

Three weapons experts told the Times there was no evidence of a secondary explosion because there were no blown out walls or destroyed vegetation near the burned-out car. A small crater under car was consistent with a Hellfire missile, the experts said.

The Pentagon initially presented the airstrike as a successful mission to prevent another bombing of the Kabul airport after 13 US service members and at least 169 Afghans died in a suspected Islamic State suicide attack on Aug. 26.

“The procedures were correctly followed and it was a righteous strike” Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said afterward.

Capt. Bill Urban, spokesman for the US Central Command, said: “U.S. military forces conducted a self-defense… airstrike today on a vehicle in Kabul, eliminating an imminent ISIS-K threat to Hamad Karzai International airport. We are confident we successfully hit the target. Significant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material.”

The military had been given broad leeway to attack suspected terrorists without presidential approval after the airport bombing — despite consistent reports of civilian casualties linked to US airstrikes in Afghanistan.

One day after the airport attack, the US military said it on Aug. 27 killed two suspected members of the Islamic State group in eastern Afghanistan via drone strike — though the Biden administration has refused to reveal their names.

Two days later, the US drone killed Ahmadi in Kabul.

President Biden spoke approvingly of US strikes in Afghanistan on Aug. 31 in a speech marking the end of the nearly 20-year US intervention.

“We struck ISIS-K remotely, days after they murdered 13 of our servicemembers and dozens of innocent Afghans. And to ISIS-K: We are not done with you yet,” Biden said in the White House State Dining Room.

The Times reports that drone operators weren’t surveilling Ahmadi’s home before the airstrike, but had followed what they believed to be his vehicle during the day. The paper noted that not long after the strike, ISIS militants used a white Toyota Corolla — the same model as Ahmadi’s car — to launch missiles at Kabul’s airport.

The White House National Security Council did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said: “U.S. Central Command continues to assess the results of the airstrike in Kabul on Aug. 29. We won’t get ahead of that assessment. However, as we have said, no other military works harder than we do to prevent civilian casualties. Additionally, as Chairman Milley said, the strike was based on good intelligence, and we still believe that it prevented an imminent threat to the airport and to our men and women that were still serving at the airport.”

Biden vaccine power grab and hypocrisy

As someone who received his first Covid shot on January 18, 2020, and second on February 27, 2020, I have not only been an advocate for people getting the shots and befuddled by those refusing to get vaccinated when ample medical data supports an overwhelming risk-benefit in doing so.

I support Biden’s attempts to encourage the unvaccinated to get vaccinated to protect all involved from becoming infected. His sweeping max mandate is not totally inclusive, and his acerbic tone and approach was hypocritical and divisive. Pitting Americans against each other and attacking free choice is counter to the man who promised unity and bringing America together gone. Biden has gone from pledging unity to using Americans as political scapegoats.

Mr. Biden forgets it was he in December of 2020 that said a Covid vaccination should not be made mandatory. Biden lied when he first took office and declared that he came into office with nothing to work with to counter Covid. Like me, many others were already vaccinated with serums developed under the Trump Warp Speed program and which Biden refuses to credit Trump for.

Pelosi had also declared: “We cannot require someone to take the vaccine shot. That’s not who we are.” Kamala Harris voiced like sentiment and went so far as to openly say she would not be vaccinated with any vaccine developed under the Trump administration.

While Biden is defending mandating vaccination for 80 million U.S. citizens, he in not for illegal immigrants flooding our borders.

Members of the liberal media have quickly changed their tunes about presidential power grabs during the coronavirus pandemic based on the occupant of the White House. The event is being looked at as a distraction to distance Biden from the Afghanistan disaster, a failing economy, inflation, and the recent abhorrent White House claim that the Taliban are acting businesslike, professionals.

August saw several significant challenges for the Biden administration, including a sharp increase in coronavirus cases in the US and a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan as the Taliban speedily took control of the country. Bidens positive poll numbers are dropping rapidly. He cannot afford to further anger and divide the country.

How do seniors fit into the proposed social safety net programs

Am I the only one who wonders where the proverbial money tree is? What the future bodes for retiring low income Americans with little savings.

After a $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, a $1.0 trillion Infrastructure and Jobs Plan, the proposed $3.5 Reconciliation Bill, and with inflation rampant, little thought is being given to the future of shoring up Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid programs.

Coming fixes to Social Security and Medicare are going to hurt

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/co...mw_share_email

Washington lawmakers are pretty good at a few things. They’re good at raising money for their next campaign. And they’re really, really good at avoiding difficult problems that might imperil their grip on power.

This is why some of our biggest problems keep getting kicked down the road rather than confronted head on and solved.

Nowhere is this more true than the increasingly perilous state of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. These are the undisputed Goliaths of the federal budget, projected to devour more than $2.5 trillion in fiscal year 2022, which begins on Oct. 1.

The government admitted Monday that it can’t guarantee you’ll get all the Social Security money you’re entitled to in the future. All the money that’s been taken out of your paycheck for years, decades? You might not get it back during your so-called “golden years”.

Social Security is now paying out more than it’s taking in. By 2034 its vaunted “Trust Fund” will go bone dry. What happens then? You’ll still get paid each month, based on whatever payroll taxes are collected. But the way it looks now, you’ll get just 78 cents in the dollar. If that were today, the average monthly Social Security benefit of $1,543 would be $1,203.

Corrective options – continue reading the report.

Not to worry, Washington has planted another money tree that should be mature when the time of need arises. We trust our government, right?

Up is down, down is up

We were lied to during the Trump administration and the media left factchecked the hell out of every word, every action to prove it. Biden lies and crickets from the fawning media left. His administration cronies advise taking no questions and if he strays they cut off his microphone. No problem for the media left.

Most Americans supported the Afghanistan withdrawal. Most Americans voice his plan and exit was a disaster. Biden has the support of the great majority of Americans having already been vaccinated desiring to see others vaccinated as well. Biden’s vaccination mandate and surly attitude / and menacing tone is causing undesirable pushback. Biden and Fauci's inconsistent scientific messaging has resulted in confusion / mistrust / anger / further divisiveness.

Disturbing headlines:

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday insisted the Biden administration had prepared for worst-case scenarios in Afghanistan. "We inherited a deadline; we did not inherit a plan," Blinken told the House Foreign Affairs Committee today.
(Well, they disregarded the deadline, and their plan didn’t do very well)

U.N. accuses Taliban of breaking promises regarding treatment of women

The United States' chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan has raised questions for its Arab allies in the Middle East about whether or not they can continue to rely on Washington, a senior Gulf Arab official said on Monday.

U.S. citizens are mandated to get vaccinated; illegals and Afghanistan refugees get a pass. Science now says booster shots are not necessary. Biden administration takes reverse position.

Regarding this new development on Milley, you know what, if that is true then he needs to be tried for treason. In fact, I agree with Rand Paul in that Milley should take a polygraph test.

How about the hearings on Blinken folks? How scripted was his testimony, and how will the American people ever get those in charge to pay for their failings?

Resident Obiden talking and suddenly the screen goes up and states thank you for watching right when Obiden was going to answer or continue to babble...I think the American people have a right to hear what their "supposed" President is saying. But what a fool I am to expect my leader of the most powerful country in to world to speak freely as to what is on his empty mind.

Shortstuff,

There is no question in my mind that Milley and Esper both worked to undermine the Trump administration. In my opinion, they should have been discharged last summer for a myriad of reasons. If Woodward and Robert Costa are accurate in their book Peril, what they have related appears to be something of treasonous activity.

With that said, I simply do not trust the agenda-driven Woodward. In my mind, perhaps Woodward's intention may have been to make Milley a hero to the Left, rather than to expose what may otherwise be termed treasonous and sedition acts?

Concerning Woodward's integrity, remember his book “VEIL: The Secret Wars of the CIA, 1981-1987?”

In that connection, you may want refer to this Washington Post news story, as it appeared in the Los Angeles Times:

Calls Interviews in Book ‘Fabrication’ : Widow Denies Casey, Woodward Talked

SEPT. 28, 1987
12 AM PT

FROM THE WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON — The widow of CIA director William J. Casey on Sunday called untrue Bob Woodward’s published statements that Casey admitted on his sickbed that he knew about diversion of profits from arms sales to Iran to the contras in Nicaragua .

Sophia Casey said that when Woodward, the Washington Post’s assistant managing editor for investigations, attempted to visit her husband in the hospital, guards stopped him before he could enter Casey’s room. She also said that Casey was unable to speak during his hospitalization because the right side of his neck and his tongue were partially paralyzed. “My husband could not converse,” she said.

In an interview with AP Radio, however, she said that her husband had been able to speak, although “he didn’t speak well . . . . He’d just say what he had to do: ‘yes,’ ‘no’ and stuff like that,” the Associated Press reported.

Woodward, in his forthcoming book, “VEIL: The Secret Wars of the CIA, 1981-1987,” reports that during a visit to Casey’s bedside, the CIA director indicated he knew about the diversion of profits from arms sales to the U.S.-backed rebel force in Nicaragua.

‘It’s a Lie’

“That is untrue, it’s a lie,” Sophia Casey said in a telephone interview. “He never got in to see my husband . . . . This whole thing is a fabrication.”

Casey’s wife said that either she or her daughter was at his bedside “every day, every hour, every moment” while he was in hospitals in Washington and on Long Island, from December, 1986, until his death May 6.

“I stand by everything in the book, including the visit I made to Casey’s hospital room, when I talked to him as described,” Woodward said Sunday.

Woodward reports in the book that security guards barred him from seeing Casey during an attempted visit on Jan. 22. Woodward said Sunday that he gained access to Casey’s room during a subsequent visit. He said that Casey spoke 19 words during that visit, which lasted only a few minutes.

Woodward said Sunday that Robert M. Gates, who was Casey’s deputy, “has said many times to many people that he had conversations with Casey--two of them during this period (while Casey was in the hospital).”

Describes Brief Visit

In an interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday, Woodward said of Casey: “He was dying. It was not the Casey I knew physically, and so I got one question, and . . . that question was: ‘You knew about the diversion, didn’t you?’ . . . . And he nodded . . . and I said, ‘Why?’ And he said, ‘I believed.’ ”

As to what Casey “believed,” Woodward said on the program that Casey believed “that we can change the world. That we can reshape it. That we can support the contras, and we can do what he used to call ‘these things'--covert action.”

Sophia Casey also disputed assertions in the book that Casey found President Reagan to be “strange,” “lazy” and “distracted,” that Reagan seemed to have few friends and preferred to spend many evenings in the White House residence having dinner served on TV trays with his wife, Nancy.

“The things he said my husband said are ludicrous,” Sophia Casey said Sunday. “My husband was a great patriot. He loved his country. He loved the President, and he would never do him one bit of harm or say anything unkind.”

Reference: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-...991-story.html

As I see things, Woodward's skills peaked in 1972-1973. Since then, he has chronically relied on his "one-time wonder" Watergate reputation to recapture his glory years, and has seemingly used twisted, thin, dramatic, exaggerated, and at times hysterical reporting, to achieve that end.

[mark blazejewski]

Had Mark Milley's alleged comments surfaced without regard to his previous history with Trump, I think that it could be dismissed most probably as yet another example of Woodward hyperbolic word manipulations and distortion(s).

But Milley's disdain for Trump, in my opinion, has been rather obvious for well over a year.

Abolishing the police, Universal Basic Income. and inflation, oh my!

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison have endorsed a Minneapolis ballot measure that would replace the city's police department with a new department of public safety. Question 2 on the Minneapolis ballot for the Nov. 2 election will ask voters if they want the city’s charter to be amended to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a Department of Public Safety, "which could include licensed peace officers (police officers) if necessary, with administrative authority to be consistent with other city departments to fulfill its responsibilities for public safety."

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., railed against a judge’s decision to block a Minneapolis ballot measure that would replace the city's police department with a new department of public safety.

In conjunction with her police reform Omar is proposing a Universal Basic Income Program where every adult would receive $1,200 per month and every child $600. The program would faze out at $75,000. Where would the money come from to support this program – along with all the other generous social programs on the books? Not to worry they say. America has it.

American have stimulus money and are spending causing supply issues.. Inflation is rampant and so far is not temporary or transitory as predicted by Biden and his financial gurus:

Gasoline - +45%
Bacon & related products – 8.4%
Fresh fruits - +8.4%
Fast food – 6.7%
Milk – 5.6%

Biden promised only the rich would be impacted by his economic policies, right? Have you gone grocery shopping, to a restaurant, a Lowes lately, Joe?

Crazy Donald or senile Joe, we are still screwed!
