OSHA Vaccine Mandate Released, 84 Million Workers Face Jan. 4 Deadline
|
|
The Biden administration has released the new rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA) requiring 84 million private sector workers to get vaccinated for COVID-19.The administration has also announced its rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Assistance (CMS) requiring 17 million healthcare workers participating in federal health programs to be vaccinated.
The White House is also pushing back the deadline for workers in those sectors, as well as federal contractors, to get fully vaccinated to Jan. 4, 2022, according to a senior administration official.
“We wanted to do this because we’re really aligning it to make it easier—to make it as easy as possible for businesses to implement these requirements and for workers to comply,” said the official, when asked about pushing back the deadline.
The Biden administration had received multiple letters from industries requesting the deadline for vaccination be moved back until after the holiday season.
The OSHA rule requires employers with 100 or more employees to put vaccine requirements in place for all staff, or face fines of up to $14,000 per violation. The agency is allowed to put into place an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) when it determines workers are at “grave risk.”
Under the rule, workers who are not vaccinated are required to submit a weekly negative COVID test at no expense to their employer. Unvaccinated workers are also required to wear masks when on the job. Health care workers do not have the testing option. (Read more)

1. PM Bennett Asks MK Kariv to Cancel Kotel Visit Friday for Fear of Violence - Jewish Press
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has personally asked Labor MK Gilad Kariv not to attend the egalitarian services being held Friday at the Kotel, Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem organized by the Women of the Wall for fear that there could be a violent confrontation.
The Israel police have already announced plans to bring in additional officers to maintain the peace at the Plaza.
Director General of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation Mordechai Eliav, sent a letter to the Jerusalem district police chief saying, “The foundation does not take responsibility for maintaining public order in the plaza tomorrow.” Then group, he said, is simply not capable of mediating between the sides.

2. Senior Intelligence source: Israeli Arab rioters coordinated with terror groups - Israel National News
Lt. Col. B, a veteran intelligence officer who recently retired from a long career in a variety of IDF intelligence bodies that monitored the activities of enemy states and terrorist elements, refers to the new front to which the public in Israel was exposed during the the riots which accompanied Operation Guardian of the Walls in May.
"For us in the IDF, this is a clear point of departure. There is close coordination between the terrorist armies and the cells and mechanisms within Israel, with Israeli Arabs with the means and intent to produce large-scale terrorism that will disrupt the routine of life within the country, both of the civilians and of the security forces," he says.
He adds: "There is a gap that everyone is talking about. The responsibility for internal security lies with the Israel Police. The IDF's activity and authority within the country is mainly in the work of the Home Front Command. Senior police officers work with the framework of industrial quiet and maintaining order as much as possible. I hope it changes, but the active activity to seize weapons, for example, is a drop in the ocean." (Read more)

3. 'Israel cannot allow terrorism financing under guise of humanitarian aid' - Israel Hayom
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan responded on Monday to two letters sent by the Palestinian Authority to the UN protesting Defense Minister Benny Gantz's recent designation of six Palestinian organizations as terrorist entities.
Erdan pointed to the hypocrisy of UN members for not enforcing their own Security Council Resolution 2129 of 2013, which affirms the rights of member states to prosecute and penalize the financing, direct or indirect, of terror groups and their activities.
In a detailed letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Erdan outlined the reasons why those organizations were outlawed by Israel as, through money laundering and other tactics, they provided a lifeline for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is designated a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, Australia, Canada, Japan, and Israel.
The PFLP, wrote Erdan, pioneered terrorist attacks in the 1960s and 1970s through armed airplane hijackings, and through the half-century continued to murder civilians, children, and students in bloody terrorist attacks and bombings. (Read more)

4. Israel’s Parliament Passes 2021 State Budget in 61-59 Vote - Algemeiner
i24 News – Israeli lawmakers early Thursday morning passed the first state budget in more than three-and-a-half years by a vote of 61 to 59 in a key test for the coalition government led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
The last state budget was signed into law on March 15, 2018.

1. 17 Million Health Care Workers Must Be Vaccinated by Jan. 4 Under Biden’s COVID-19 Mandate: CMS - The Epoch Times
The Centers for Medicaid Services (CMS) on Thursday issued a rule saying that most health care workers in the United States will have to be considered “fully vaccinated” with a COVID-19 vaccine by Jan. 4.
The rule was handed down for all staff who are employed at Medicaid- or Medicare-funded hospitals or facilities. Unlike the Biden administration’s rule that mandates vaccinations or testing for employers with 100 or more workers, the CMS rule does not allow health care staff to opt-out of the rule by submitting to weekly testing—although religious and medical exemptions can be accommodated.

2. INSIGHT-From Boeing to Mercedes, a U.S. worker rebellion swells over vaccine mandates – Reuters
In Wichita, Kansas, nearly half of the roughly 10,000 employees at aircraft companies Textron Inc and Spirit AeroSystems remain unvaccinated against COVID-19, risking their jobs in defiance of a federal mandate, according to a union official.
"We're going to lose a lot of employees over this," said Cornell Adams, head of the local Machinists union district. Many workers did not object to the vaccines as such, he said, but were staunchly opposed to what they see as government meddling in personal health decisions.The union district has hired a Texas-based lawyer to assist employees and prepare potential lawsuits against the companies should requests for medical or religious exemptions to vaccination be denied.
A life-long Democrat, Adams said he would no longer vote for the party. "They'll never get another vote from me and I'm telling the workers here the same thing."The clock is ticking for companies that want to continue gaining federal contracts under an executive order by Democratic President Joe Biden, which requires all contractor employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 8.

- Father God, we praise the Lord that these companies are standing firm against subjecting themselves to this government's Communist-like control over personal preference. Deliver us from the curses during World War II of Germany's control. We claim our freedom here in the United States under God's gracious hand of deliverance. In the Name of Jesus we pray.

3. The “Edward Snowden” of the Pandemic blows the WHISTLE on bioweapons war with inside information on ADE, mutations and variants – Pandemic.News
At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, most Americans (as usual) believed the narrative on mass media that the virus broke out in humans because people in China were eating infected bats at some wet market. Only truth news (alternative news) suspected that the CCP and the CDC worked in tandem to create the mysterious SARS-CoV-2 “gain of function” virus and released it from a lab (most likely on purpose).
Sure enough, we find out the virus’ genetic signature came from the Wuhan lab, and Fauci helped fund the research for it. Turns out it’s no conspiracy theory at all, and now a Snowden-like whistleblower, with inside information about exactly how mRNA vaccines function, is telling the world exactly how the Covid vaccines are creating a pandemic of their own. Anyone living in denial of this needs to watch the embedded video below of Dr. Paul Cottrell. (Read more) |

4. CDC Changed Definition of ‘Vaccine’ Because of COVID-19 Vaccines: Emails - The Epoch Times
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC) altered the definition of “vaccine” because of concern that the definition didn’t apply to COVID-19 vaccines, according to newly released internal emails. The agency updated its definition on Sept. 1. The definition was formerly, “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.” That definition now reads, “A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” One CDC employee in August, shortly before the definition was changed, said the definition was being used by “right-wing COVID-19 pandemic deniers … to argue that mRNA vaccines are not vaccines,” according to the newly published emails.
The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines utilize messenger RNA technology. All three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States plummet in effectiveness against infection several months after receiving them, after initially being promoted as protecting against infection and severe disease.

5. Citizen Journalism Rises Among Parents Who Question Health Policies - The Epoch Times
As more people question whether their local health policies are engaging in government overreach, parents are becoming citizen investigative journalists who form constitutional rights groups to hold policymakers accountable.
For Kelly Wiggen in Rutherford County, North Carolina, it began when she said the mask mandates in her child’s school weren’t adding up.From there, the business owner turned researcher started digging, requesting documents, and connecting dots.
Like other constitutional rights groups such as the WNCFreedom2020 group and the North Carolina Citizens for Constitutional Rights, the Rutherford County Board of Accountability (RCBA) is a citizen-run group organized similarly to how established local government boards are structured according to the parliamentary procedure.

6. Rand Paul accuses Fauci of changing 'gain-of-function' definition to 'cover your a--' in fiery clash - Fox News
Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci had the latest in their series of tense exchanges Thursday, when the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases appeared before the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee.
Paul has been a fierce critic of Fauci, accusing him of falsely denying that the government has funded "gain-of-function" research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where Paul believes COVID-19 likely originated. Fauci has denied this and continued to do so in no uncertain terms.
"Dr. Fauci, I don't expect you today to admit that you approved of NIH funding for a gain of function research in Wuhan, but your repeated denials have worn thin," Paul told Fauci as a precursor to his questioning, stating that the National Institutes of Health admitted that it funded a grant to EcoHealth Alliance with a sub-award to the Wuhan lab. Paul said that as part of this work, it engaged in experiments in Wuhan that led to the creation of viruses that do not occur in nature and increased in deadliness.
"The facts are clear. The NIH did fund gain of function research in Wuhan despite your protestations," continued Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, claiming that Fauci’s "persistent denials … are not simply a stain on your reputation but are clear and present danger to the country and to the world."

- Lord God, this is a fiery battle between truth and deception. We know You are all about truth and justice and we desire for Your character to be released in the earth.

We pray Father, for victory in the camp of the righteous.

7. Ernst's 'FAUCI Act' bans US funding for 'gain-of-function' research in China - Fox News
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is introducing legislation aimed at banning funding "gain-of-function" research in China while calling for a "full accounting" of how U.S. tax dollars were spent on the research.
"For years, American tax dollars were funneled into Communist China, funding dangerous experiments on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Lab, while the head of the division funding those activities, Dr. Fauci, failed to tell the truth to Congress," Ernst said in a press release Monday.
"We need a full accounting of how and where our tax dollars are being spent—enough is enough. The FAUCI Act will put an end to U.S. funding of gain-of-function research in Communist China, go after government officials who intentionally mislead Congress, and bring about badly needed transparency and accountability."

Would You please cause the victory to be released through this bill and that it would be signed on the President's desk without hindrance or interference. In Jesus name.

8. In Illinois: Emergency Victory with Much More Work Ahead - Liberty Counsel
Last Friday afternoon, an Illinois federal court issued an emergency restraining order protecting health care workers on a case in which Liberty Counsel Action has been providing critical research!
The federal court restraining order blocked the NorthShore University HealthSystem from terminating the 14 health care workers who are the lead plaintiffs in the case. The case returns to court November 16 to extend the restraining order and to include the entire class of health care workers.
We are fighting for every health care worker like the one who wrote to request, “Allow me to join” this lawsuit.
We are fighting for nurses, doctors and others who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot. The court said the plaintiffs are likely to prevail based on both the federal employment law, Title VII and the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act! (Read more)

9. Dems' Build Back Better plan blocks religious schools from using infrastructure money to improve facilities - Fox News
President Biden's and the Democrats’ Build Back Better Act includes a provision that specifically prohibits religious schools from using infrastructure grants to improve their facilities.
The bill, which House Democrats hope to vote on this week, includes a provision that provides infrastructure grants to improve child care safety, specifically to help child care providers "acquire, construct, renovate or improve" their facilities.
However, further down in the bill’s text, it includes a prohibition against religious organizations like churches and synagogues that also have schools or child care services from using funds to improve their facilities.
Recipients "may not use the funds for modernization, renovation or repair of facilities that are primarily used for sectarian instruction or religious worship," the bill states.
Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., offered an amendment to strike the provision called the Religious Freedom Amendment, but it failed during the Ways and Means Committee’s markup in September. (Read more)

10. Pentagon warns China is expanding its nuclear arsenal faster than expected – Times of Israel
US Defense Department assessment says Beijing could have over 1,000 nukes by 2030, 2.5 times more than estimated a year ago
China is expanding its nuclear arsenal much more quickly than anticipated, narrowing the gap with the United States, the Pentagon said in a report published Wednesday.
China could have 700 deliverable nuclear warheads by 2027, and could top 1,000 by 2030 — an arsenal two-and-a-half times the size of what the Pentagon predicted only a year ago, according to the report.
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) “is investing in, and expanding, the number of its land-, sea-, and air-based nuclear delivery platforms and constructing the infrastructure necessary to support this major expansion of its nuclear forces.The assessment came in the US Department of Defense’s annual report to Congress on Chinese military developments.

11. 'That's Communist China': Nikki Haley Warns We're on a Frightening March Toward Radical Socialism – CBN News
To millions of Americans, the United States is becoming unrecognizable, from what's being taught in the classroom to transgender bathroom policies to vaccine mandates, there's a noticeable ideological shift. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley tells CBN News it's all a threat to our freedom. "I think they're trying to change the foundation of our government," Haley says. "I think this is creating socialist rule and government overreach. That's what they're trying to do. They want government to tell your kids what they're going to learn. They want government to tell you whether you work or whether you don't...and that's not what we want. That's communist China."
That philosophy bit Democrats in the form of Tuesday's election results in places like Virginia and New Jersey where voters, especially parents, sent a strong message. "This is not so much what Glenn Youngkin did, it's what the parents of Virginia did," Haley says. "They said enough is enough and Glenn tapped into that because they are absolutely tired of the racist politics. They're tired of the woke conversations that are taking place."

Of Pride And Hubris
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, November 4, 2021
Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.” This is what we saw in Virginia on Tuesday. But the question remains, “did any one learn anything from how the people voted?” Democrat and media commentators focused on how loser Terry McAuliffe was unable to establish his narrative. One member of the media suggested that the media didn’t do a good job amplifying McAuliffe’s campaign themes. This, an indication that even the media believes its duty is to help elect Democratic Party candidates. The post-election analysts argued many factors, none of them included, however, constitutional rights, border security, child protection, etc. It’s all about the narrative.
Democrats should learn that at least half of America, whether they have a college education or not, strongly disagrees with the party agenda. Probably another 35% are just ignorant and will pull the lever for a Democrat no matter what. And the remaining 15% are somewhere in between. Unconstitutional mandates, villainization of groups of people, teaching children that all white people are racist, exposing children to confusing sexual deviancy and pornography in public schools, border security, defunding police forces, inflation, gasoline prices, government-sponsored corporate censorship—all these are things people who vote care about. Democrats—it’s not about the narrative, it’s about your destructive, godless, Marxist agenda. Read More

Brown called his apparent victory, which would see him govern for a fifth term, “one of the greatest comeback stories in our history.”

According to New York Young Republicans Club President Gavin Wax, the GOP flipped every District Attorney seat in Long Island. Nassau County is the most populous county on Long Island, which has a population of more than eight million people.
The wins amount to historic Republican gains in a traditionally liberal-leaning area of a blue state. Long Island isn’t anywhere as progressive as New York City, but the area voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election. (Read more)

'If she's woman enough':
Virginia Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears lays down challenge to Joy Reid over 'white nationalism' claims
|
|
|
|
Virginia's lieutenant governor-elect, Republican Winsome Sears, laid down a challenge to MSNBC's Joy Reid Wednesday night, daring the progressive news anchor to invite her on her show to have a "real discussion" about race and politics in America.
Reid had claimed during MSNBC's election night coverage that "white nationalism" played a major part in Republicans' sweep of three statewide offices. But those comments didn't sit well with Sears, who on Tuesday became the first black female lieutenant governor in Virginia's history.
"You have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous. This is not a party that is just another political party that disagrees with us on tax policy. At this point, they are dangerous to our national security," Reid said Tuesday night, arguing that Republicans were "stoking" white nationalism.
Speaking with Fox News's Martha MacCallum on Wednesday, Sears responded by daring Reid to raise that argument with her face-to-face.
"I wish Joy Reid would invite me on her show. Let's see if she is woman enough to do that. I would go in a heartbeat, and we will have a real discussion without Joy speaking about me behind my back," Sears blasted. "She talks about white supremacy. Does she know that I ran against a white supremacist? Joy, come on. Get your facts straight and then come talk to me." (The Blaze) Read more.

56 Voting Machines Were Shut Down, Shipped To Warehouse On Election Night In Dem Stronghold County Where Gov Murphy Got Over 113K Votes
|
|
After the polls closed in New Jersey on Tuesday evening, stunned political pundits watched GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli take the lead in the governor’s race against the incumbent Democrat Governor Phil Murphy.
Then, on Wednesday morning, after Americans watched coverage of the election showing Ciattarelli flipping traditionally blue counties to red and picking up significantly more votes in red counties than in previous elections, something curious happened—with almost 100% of red counties reporting their votes, election results from Democrat stronghold counties began to trickle in, and Murphy began to take a negligible lead. Then, as the day wore on, more blue counties reported their results, and like magic, Murphy got just enough votes to be declared the winner.
But there’s more…
In Essex County, a Democrat stronghold, 56 voting machines were shut down on election night and were NOT counted.
On Wednesday, County Clerk Christopher Durkin said voting machines in 56 districts were shut down without being counted first.
Durkin blamed the shutdown of 56 voting machines on a “poll worker error.” The News 12 reporter Tony Caputo asked Durkin about the location of the voting machines and when they would be counted? Durkin answered, “It’s a mix; they are mostly in Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Maplewood, and Montclair, which are the majority of those 56 districts.” He asked New Jersey residents not to jump to conclusions as to why the voting machines were shut down without being counted first. He explained, “Those machines are at the polling place right now. Those machines have to be brought back to the warehouse. A judge will issue an order for us to open those machines, retrieve the results and post those results.” (The Gateway Pundit) Read more here.

Great Lakes 'have a fever' as first lake-effect snow sets a record
|
|
|
The first significant lake-effect snow of the season dropped nearly a foot of snow near the shores of the Great Lakes Tuesday into Wednesday. The snowfall was enough to transform parts of Michigan's Lower Peninsula into a winter wonderland and break into the record books at one weather station in Michigan.
Snow totals topped 11 inches in northern parts of northern Michigan. Gaylord, Michigan, picked up 11.7 inches of snow on Tuesday, which set a record for the heaviest snowfall in a calendar day in November. That amount also ranked as the sixth highest single-day snowfall in any month. Records have been kept at the National Weather Service (NWS) office there since 1998.
In Gaylord, which is about 225 miles north of Detroit and just to the east of the upper reaches of Lake Michigan, NWS meteorologists posted a slow-motion video on Twitter showing large snowflakes coming down outside of the office there on Tuesday. Read More

‘Thank You, Jesus’: Winsome Sears Focuses on Faith After Making History as Virginia’s First Black, Female Lieutenant Governor
|
|
|
While all eyes were on the two men at the top of the ticket in Virginia — Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe — one woman was making history.
Winsome Sears, the lieutenant governor-elect of Virginia, burst onto the stage in the wee hours of the morning Wednesday to celebrate her victory alongside Governor-elect Youngkin, telling those at the election night watch party in Chantilly, Virginia, that she is living “the American dream.”
The U.S. Marine Corps veteran said she was “at a loss for words for the first time in my life,” but nevertheless gave credit to God for her historic win as the commonwealth’s first female and first black American to win the lieutenant governorship.
“God bless you,” she told the rowdy crowd at the end of her speech, thanking her “ragtag” staff for their tireless efforts. “We ran an impossible, improbable campaign. … God was exactly with us, otherwise we would never have made it. And so I want to finish up by thanking you, Jesus. How sweet it is!”

- “Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” (Matthew 6:33)

Endeavor to Keep the Unity of the Holy Spirit
Proverbs 6:19 lists one of the Lord's abominations: sowing discord among brethren. Having been a pastor for two decades I think this is a huge pattern in the body of Christ, including with us pastors and priests and worship leaders.
The answer is in Ephesians 4:3. You and I are to: "Endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. " And if you look up the word "endeavor, " as the Lord asked me to do, it means "go the extra mile" " really work at" ----keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Join me in taking a few minutes now with the Risen Christ, Who knocks on the door of our hearts and minds, wanting us to let Him in, so that He can "dine" with us. He wishes us to be overcomers of all sin strongholds so that we can sit with Him on His throne, as He overcame and sat on His Abba Father's throne. (Revelation 3:20-21).
