The Morning Report - 8/9/21

Good morning, kids. Happy Nagasaki Day as we kick off another week of America overthrown and rapidly devolving into some sort of fascist/socialist (but I repeat myself) totalitarian dictatorship. While its forbears of 80-odd years ago actually did build things like the Autobahn and factories for massive rearmament while making the trains run on time, the Adenoid Hynkels in DC are evidently set to pass a so-called infrastructure bill that builds nothing but the biceps of the congressional flunkies who have to schlep its 2,072 pages around from backroom to backroom 50 times a day. $3.5 trillion. Does the word "trillion" even have any meaning anymore or is it Everett Dirksen adjusted for inflation? I take it back; it does build infrastructure; the infrastructure by which the Leftist Junta that stole the 2020 election can consolidate and accrue permanent power by transferring the wealth and much if not all of whatever the hell is left of the liberty of the US citizenry to its control.

While it's not a fait accompli yet in the Senate, if it does pass in that chamber it then has to move on to the House. But that said, aside from the fact that the GOP is in the minority and that the Democrats will micturate all over procedure and protocol and whatever obstacles that the former might throw in their way to try and derail this monstrosity, the fact of the matter is the GOP has no interest in doing that at all - something we know all too well by now. In fact, 18 (count 'em!) 18 Republicans in the Senate played the role of "bi" in bipartisan (yay) to make the world safe for Democrats

Fuck these criminals to hell. But make no mistake; the 31 other Republicans not on this list aren't choir boys and girls either. From time to time, each of them went along to get along on one bill or another or for one reason or another, especially during President Trump's first term. Considering everything else he was up against, it is incredible what he virtually singlehandedly accomplished in his first three years in office. And their silence not only about an obviously stolen election but more crucially over the jailing and persecution of scores of patriotic Americans who did nothing but show up to DC last January to protest that stolen election, as was their right to do, remains deafening.

For the benefit of those who still do not get it, I shall reiterate: the GOP does not represent conservatives, freedom loving Americans, taxpaying Americans or Americans who cherish the concept of limited government, honesty, virtue, thrift and anything under the rubric of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as codified in 1789. No, the GOP is not an opposition party to the Anti-American revolution that got rolling around 1913 with the passage of the 16th and 17th Amendments and climaxed on January 6th, 2021. The GOP is a player in that enterprise, a cog in the machine of an ever-expanding government bureaucracy whose only "objection" to it, if you can call it that, is the speed at which it expands and devours everyone and everything in its path - NOT in that goal itself. Once you see that, then you can let go of the anger and frustration of not understanding why they never do anything but make excuses why they can never do anything. You can reserve your anger, frustration and fear for the actual destruction that they are aiding and abetting.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, the noose around Angel of Death Cuomo's neck just got a little tighter. One victim has now filed a criminal complaint, another, a female state trooper has come forward and described Cuomo laying his Biden-hand on her, chief consigliere Melissa DeRosa, who features prominently in NY state AG Letitia James' investigation, announced she is stepping down immediately and sources close to NY Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul claim she is already preparing to step up and assume the governorship indicating Cuomo may be in process of stepping down.

Meh, even if that inept mobster does leave the scene, there is no way in hell he sees the inside of a prison cell or takes much of a hit in the wallet with the inevitable civil suits. As horrendous as his sexual assaults were, they pale in comparison for his culpability in euthanizing upwards of 15,000 elderly nursing home residents by unleashing a biological weapon on them in order to both save the states' already depleted Medicare coffers and worse, to try and ding President Trump before the election. He skates on that as well because if he goes down, four other governors, Biden and much of the federal medical bureaucracy goes down with him.

Look at the timing; after 18 months, not only are we not going to get our freedom back, but we are all set to be locked down again over this "delta variant" and we will be forced to be indoctrinated - I mean inoculated - with vaccines that at best offer little to no protection from getting General Tso's Sickness and at worst can kill you. The reasoning? Everything Biden and the Junta controlling him have done has wreaked havoc on the nation economically, politically, national security-wise and culturally. Never have we been laid so low and so fast. It's literally Mirror Universe Trump Years but at 8 times the speed. And with the midterms coming, you better believe they want to implement even more Dao-Min Yen electoral fraud to keep them in power.

Hell, 15 months is both an eternity and the blink of an eye. Plenty of time for gamma, sigma, theta and pi variants to cancel elections altogether and just outlaw any non-Democrats period as "dangerous white supremacists."

There is hope. Look at what's going on in France and even in Australia, where the government there has all but declared a state of siege. Whatever his faults may be, at least Rand Paul is sounding the right tone at the right time on this garbage:

In a video that he posted to his Twitter account on Sunday that closely resembled an op-ed he wrote for Fox News last week, Paul said, "It's time for us to resist."

"They can't arrest all of us. They can't keep all of your kids home from school. They can't keep every government building closed -- although I've got a long list of ones they might keep closed or might ought to keep closed," Paul said. "We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and bureaucrats. We can simply say no, not again."

"Nancy Pelosi-- you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs. We have either had COVID, had the vaccine, or been offered the vaccine," Paul continued. "We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced into random screenings and testings so you can continue your drunk-with-power rein over the Capitol". . .

. . . "I think the tide is turning as more and more people are willing to stand up. I see stories from across the country of parents standing up to the unions and school boards," Paul continued. "I see brave moms standing up and saying, 'My kids need to go back to school in-person.' I see members of Congress refusing to comply with Petty Tyrant Pelosi. We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children? Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not? Not this time. I choose freedom."

Well said, Senator Paul. The Human Events editorial staff echoes your sentiments and takes it a step further.

Americans should refuse to surrender their freedom. To be clear I am in fact calling for acts of civil disobedience. It is time for Americans to embrace the ideas developed so thoroughly by Henry David Thoreau in the 19th century and embraced by Gandhi, Dr. King, and others in the 20th century. It is time for us to support the shopkeeper who refuses to check for vaccines or enforce mask mandates. It is time to boycott the companies that require their workers to be vaccinated and to "buycott" with their competitors who do not.

It is time for us to sit down at the modern-day "Woolworth's" lunch counter, take off our mask, roll up our sleeve to show the absence of a needle mark, and demand to be served. . .

. . . We need to create non-violent but situationally uncomfortable unrest. This is not a time for Americans to sit back and watch this play itself out. As we have learned with terror, poverty, drugs, and other famous "wars," sometimes things never really finish playing themselves out.

Bingo. And this does not, should not and really must not limit itself to the Chinese Lung AIDS vaccine ausweiss situation. We should be massively protesting the brainwashing of our children, the erasing of our borders, the wiping our of our savings, the forcible dissolution of our society and culture, and the persecution of our citizenry. The time is now.

Psaki-psircling back to the top, we have a couple of good essays on the 76th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Also, the late Paul Fussell, who IIRC had a very liberal bent to him, saw combat up close and personal in Europe. Until his dying day, he felt nuking the Japanese was both military and morally justified. Amen to that.

PS: Be sure to get your papers in order, nudge-nudge wink-wink.

8 I think both the "infrastructure" and the HR1 bill will pass.

Republicans will cement their preferred minority position in place with that. Not from lack of voting efforts as everyday Americans try (again) to try and get them to get in office to stop what is happening, but because there will be no way to win after that.

It's time to accept the Uniparty if you haven't. Remember when Trump wanted an infrastructure bill and it was fought tooth and nail by these same Republicans?

28 Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but I don't think we're gonna make it out of this with any kind of intact freedom left. It's an avalanche we can't stop. And there is literally no one (okay, maybe <5% in Congress) who represents us. The Left isn't stopping. They aren't even slowing down for appearances. We're going down and I can see it all around me. The "infrastructure" bill will pass. Likely H1 too, because that's just how the Rs are rolling now. Think they're afraid of becoming just a minority or regional party? Think again. They'll just switch parties and think they can survive. They have no fealty to their constituents, let alone America. I'm so sick and tired of "the fight." The constant fight to beat back these totalitarians and hope to even bring sense to so many Americans whose eyes remain forever shut to what they are very rapidly losing. Heck, a sizeable portion of them are screaming for socialism or worse. I detest half this country. But I see a train barreling for the wall and I can't stop it. Sorry for the downer.

Smart political move.

There are voters who what Elder, and RINOs who want Cox. The top 3 candidates of the 46 are Republican.

Top priority is to get yes on recall, and that will take turnout. Don't muddy the waters by endorsing Cox (which is what they want to do).

The rules are different in this type of jungle election. Normally you worry about splitting the vote, but it probably doesn't matter here. Yes on recall needs to be the top priority, and is still a heavy lift against the Dem fraud.

Dems are all in on "no" on recall, they've chosen to live and die witn Newsom.

It helps if you remove yourself and look at the entire thing academically. Pretend you're a historian looking back on the situation that abruptly has no records beyond today. There is a reason they are pushing to purge the military and police forces through defunding and making conditions so miserable that the decent folks quit or don't consider it.

The marxists control almost EVERYTHING now. They've been working at this for years, and they're at the end of their goal. The military and police are the only two organizations they lack, and they're currently making the move to fix that.

It's all on purpose, and it's all with a plan. Right now we're just along for the ride.

I took it serious since ace had mentioned something about "glowies" (whatever the f that is) and something about the blog being watched. Thats why I asked the question, "what exactly can we say and not get the blog in trouble"? Of course it was taken wrong, accidentally, and all I caught was a ration of shit from CBD.

63 The marxists control almost EVERYTHING now.

So there is some troll here that likes to stir us up to make incriminating statements and attract all kinds of unwanted attention, giving up OPSEC and intel to the enemy.

I was thinking we need more Thomas Paine and less John Wick (well at least Right Now) We have seen those institutes fall away (e.g. National Review) and hardly anyone knows about The New American publication. So I'm not so sure that the thirst remains, in significant enough numbers to have popular support behind a New American Revolution.

So we retreat to something more safe, to regain our bearings and plan ahead - and then I read about the 61 year old guy who showed photos of his attendance at the 1/6 Panty Raid to people in his church's prayer group - and one in that group turned him in to the FBI.

If a prayer group isn't safe, then open discussion here isn't either.

Maybe we just wait for the whole thing to implode. the USSR needed serious backing by the West in order to survive as long as it did. There is no rescue, there is no Good Guys with a super power military willing to risk all for Liberty and Freedom.

66 The propaganda organs are trying to hide the worldwide uprisings against Covid tyranny, so the State at least fears Americans are not the gutless and balless pussies I fear they have become. It will take National strikes and boycotts and considerably more kinetic riots than last summer. Our ruling class has to suffer personally before they relent. D.C. does not have to be turned into a fireball, as desirable as that might be, but people like Gates and his prostitutes such as Fauci will have to know deprivation. I doubt it will happen but our Western Brothers and Sisters give some hope.

There is no clearer example of this than senate confirmations. This is the drudgery of day-to-day work, and the true nature comes through. When we look at big-shot appointees - the cabinet ministers and divisional chiefs, but not all appointees (simply because the lower-level guys and the banks (other than the Fed) and councils tend to just get waved through) - the differences are stark indeed. Consider the filibuster-proof confirmation - 67 or more senators voting to confirm, or a voice vote.

Trump had 7 confirmed at that threshold in four years. Two big positions - DoD and DHS - were never confirmed and the secretaries served as "acting." Keep in mind that Trump had a clear senate majority. He often didn't even get all the Republicans. Compare that to Biden. He has had eight top-level appoints confirmed at that threshold in six months, with no vacancies or "acting" secretaries. GOP. Feh.

I am not necessarily opposed to a pay-for-play usage tax. I think fuel is an acceptable way to do this (it's the same thing), and that could be applied to electric rates. Register your car charger and pay by the kilowatt hour. That would work. Odometer-based methods would be far be simpler - provide your mileage at registration and they give you a bill.

But none of that is what they'll do. They'll install GPS trackers in every vehicle to get the taxable mileage - and, of course, know where everyone is at all times.

94 I'm more and more concerned that the experimentation of the chicken virus was the trial run, and we're now in the practical application.

No chickens survive without the vaccine against the "hottest" variants, and the vaccine leaks to make sure every single chicken is exposed to the virus.

I'm willing to explore that. The Princess Diamond and pretty much all data coming in reminds us that over eighty percent have natural immunity. What I don't have at hand the number in Israel that had natural immunity and took the mRNA injection.

Also, we call it the "Delta" rather than "India" variant, not because of racism, but because we aren't supposed to look at how fast it came and went in a single-digit percent "vaccinated" population with horrible public health care but ample supply of HCQ and Ivermectin.

My original claim back in 3/20 that C19 was The McGuffin still is viable.

He can beffective as a gateway to conservatism for younger generation. HOWEVER, he has appointed himself Conservative Inc.

WHen it comes to the Left, he's always the loud, 'reasonable conservative' lecturing that cancel culture is bad an we need to allow people to have missteps/misstatements.

133 I guess the gamble now is if being unvaccinated or being vaccinated is the right move for what is coming in the next two years or so.

They have very different costs. Having the mRNA gives you the ability, until you get sick and die, to circulate around the world but still wear The Veil.

Living your life without the mRNA injection earns you ostracization, possible loss of income, credit, access to retail, etc. Your health, as always, is contingent on your metabolic health, natural immunity and God's Providence.

I'm not at all convinced that C19 was as big a player as the Enemy wants us to believe. It played a role, but what happened to all of the other seasonable viruses and colds? It sure as hell wasn't the masks and hand washing.

134 $3.5 trillion. I have trouble contextualizing that number, so let's compare it to a previous event that has superficial similarities: the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA - Obama's "infrastructure" program to pull us out of the Great Recession). ARRA barely passed and was hugely unpopular due to its expense and the vagaries of its hypothetical benefits, along with the general complaints of pork-barrel politics and cronyism. ARRA is the closest near comparison I can think of to make.

At the time of passage (it grew, of course, as it always must), it was estimated to cost approximately $0.8 trillion. As compared to the 2008 GDP of $14.8 trillion. The ARRA, in GDP terms, cost 5.4% of GDP and represented 31.7% of 2008 federal revenues of $2.5 trillion.

Compare it to this. $3.5 trillion is 16.7% of 202's GDP of $21 trillion and represents 102% of 2020 federal revenues. So this "infrastructure" spending bill is 3x larger in GDP terms and 3.2x larger in revenue terms than the closest near-analogue I can think of.

When half the planet is squeezed onto the land that comprises the continental U.S., do they really think that the newcomers are going to be content to live like serfs and work for a pittance at crappy jobs, while the rest of the population enjoys a higher standard of living? Their "cheap" imported labor is not going to remain cheap for long. Then what?

The USSR was hopeless and would have failed but for foreign intervention twice. The first was us - during WWII. We and Stalin made a devil's agreement that the War would be fought with his blood and our treasure. Without American largess, the Soviets would have fallen to Hitler. That's a war, though, so a lot of normal considerations go out the window.

The second was in the 70s. The Soviets were done for and they knew it. Their system was failing and they were broke and there was no way out. Then they got an unexpected lifeline: the Arabs. The Arab oil embargo opened vast new markets for Soviet resources. They were able to fill the gaps left by the Arabs enough to keep the world moving - and they got paid richly for it and bailed out their rotten system. The Arab oil embargo was perhaps the greatest strategic error in international politics for more than a century.

189 I believe "authoritarian" to be the correct and encompassing word for those threatened by and threatening our liberties across the board.

Modern-day authoritarianism is a mental disease. The fetish to control other people isn't normal. Yet these asshoes have to insert themselves into every situation, particularly ones that don't involve them, so they can stroke their own egos.

190 I do wonder if the voices of doom are correct, why do any of us hang out here?

The Democrat Maoists have won. All institutions are corrupted. The last few state bastions will fall within a few years once election manipulation becomes a federal mandate.

Seems to me that complaining about it on a blog is only serving to put us on the list of "first to be imprisoned".

We should all be registering Democrat and working to become good members of the Party. And also start to move our personal situation into one where we are allowed to survive.

Guns and ammo only help if there is societal breakdown with riots in the streets. If instead the country is going to meekly submit to their new overlords, then we aren't being very smart.

Maybe. I am not so sure about that. It codified and entrenched the petrostate, which is still giving them problems (especially in the Kingdom). It necessitated that their "non-alignment" with the USSR continue toward ever more formal alignment, including to this day with the Russians using much of the Middle East as pawns pretty transparently. It hurt us, but not as much as they'd hoped and entrenched unproductive resource wealth as their basis of government and saddled them with the Russian Bear.

Their choice was not without consequences for themselves. It wasn't an utter failure by any means, but I am not certain that it was a victory.

202 The second was in the 70s. The Soviets were done for and they knew it. Their system was failing and they were broke and there was no way out. Then they got an unexpected lifeline: the Arabs.

There were a LOT of gifts to the USSR between the War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Constant delivery of grain, pretty much handed to them all sorts of technology, built their military for them so that the MIC would have a reason to grow...

Maybe someone smarter than me here can help me understand this, but I would think that the dollar's value would be plummeting against other currencies but over a five year span of time, the arbitrage between currencies seems to be moving sideways - with an actual uptick in the past few weeks of the dollar getting stronger.

Google co-founder Larry Page has gained New Zealand residency, officials confirmed Friday, stoking debate over whether extremely wealthy people can essentially buy access to the South Pacific country. Immigration New Zealand said Page first applied for residency in November under a special visa open to people with at least 10 million New Zealand dollars ($7 million) to invest. . .

Immigration New Zealand noted that while Page had become a resident, he didn't have permanent residency status and remained subject to certain restrictions. Still, the agency on its website touts the "Investor Plus" visa as offering a "New Zealand lifestyle," adding that "you may be able to bring your car, boat and household items to New Zealand, free of customs charges."

I'd expect the big chains to hit trouble first. They have larger and more far-flung supply lines and are less flexible. Your local restaurants, though, are not exempt - at least mine aren't.

I went out to dinner this weekend and the waitress opened with two statements, neither of which were good signs. First, she informed us that she was one of two waiters because they couldn't find help - so things might be slow. The second was when she reeled off the items that they couldn't prepare because they don't have supplies. I pushed on that one and she told me that they don't know from one day to the next what they can actually get from their suppliers.

255 In the beginning of the (destroy Trump) Coup ... well at least the Plandemic Phase of the coup ... Fauci said don't wear masks, Pelosi said go hug the Chinese, Trump's efforts to stop flights from China were circumvented ... Trump's three emergency hospitals set up (the ship Comfort and two others) went mostly unused. CDC changed the definition of Pandemic, and they counted "everything" as a covid death.

This was a coup to get Trump out, but it is a pre-planned op against the free world, coordinated/planned for years. There is also the financial side of the coup ... also goes back years.

The "Doctors for Ethics Symposium" over the weekend has four sessions on Rumble video ... they look at the planning and the incredible use of force ... against doctors, journalists ... anyone that might get in their way.

"We" kinda know this, but the symposium helps put many pieces together to reveal it as a united effort against our freedoms ... "Build Back Better" reveals their plans to destroy our very foundations, and mostly they take the more "conspiracy fact" view.

I think most come here to not be alone with the decline. To share their lament with others of like mind. In a similar way, the book "Adult Children of Alcoholics" impacted me greatly - knowing that you are not the only one to go through hell is cathartic.

As for me, I come here to get a read on how "my people" are responding to all this. As a former Marine, violence is not abhorrent to me, and I've come to believe that's our only solution to this problem and that our window of opportunity is closing. But I can't force it, so I stay here to understand why they don't see what I see, whether they will reach the same conclusions I have, and how long that may take.

I could go to war at their side, or I could retreat into private life of luxury and enjoy the decline with what remains of my life. It's a decision I need to make at some point in the next few years.

The problem with this observation is that the recall is not being held in Florida or Georgia, it is being held in California. They do not care if their mechanisms are exposed. They have supermajorities in the CA legislature and at every level of government the Democrats dominate. They voted to make 30 days of ballot harvesting legal. They have print at home ballots. Think that a California AG would allow any sort of audit after the fact? Think that if there was an independent audit conduct, that they would provide info even under subpoena? I do not agree with you that they care about getting caught, and that if they get caught anything would happen to prevent it happening again.

267 What Arizona does in the face of Maricopa County blatant refusal to respond to subpoenas will be telling, as will what legislation (if any) comes out.
--

The AZ AG is involved now with respect to Maricopa county's non-compliance with the Senate's legislative subpoenas. AZ law apparently allows for the legislature to make referrals of violations of state law by government to the AG, who then must review. Cases go directly to the AZ Supreme Court, and if there is non-compliance, the state entity responsible for the violation can have it's state funding pulled.

AZ AG is now investigating and Maricopa county has until 8/20 to respond.

I realize he is concerned that the cruise lines are killing themselves with this and therefore the tourism connected to it but cruise lines are neither essential or utilities. Let them have the freedom to ignore actual medical science instead listening to their lawyers and see if their business is reduced.

another reason I love your polling analysis ... it convinces me (even more) that the majority elected Trump. As that majority becomes "UnWoke", and "red-pilled" to the frauds and propaganda, a mass revolt might take hold against the (less than)1%.

Reaching out locally to neighbors, confronting the school boards -- maybe some should sell those tech stocks (and other BigCorp) and find ways to invest locally. At least move a chunk to a local bank.

I think trying to avoid taking the shot, unless you want to be unemployed, is probably a lost cause at this point. Possibly a different approach is to say you'll take the shot, but your employer assumes all liability for the next decade. OHSAA did rule that employers had to report for employees required to take the non-vax. Then point out that Pfizer, in their contract, says the efficacy and long-terms effects are unknown at this time. At worst, you might establish a reasonable claim for unemployment and tie up your employer for a few days of talking with the lawyers. At best, someone might see reason.

The thing here though is to drive up the compliance costs. Drag things out. Make them justify everything and follow things to the letter of the law.

331 Hack in Black: She said vaccine passports would allow the cruise line to "operate in the safest way possible with 100% vaccination of all guests and crew when sailing from Florida ports," adding the decision was reached because Florida had failed to "provide a valid evidentiary, factual, or legal predicate" for the ban.


Because, as everyone knows, the Constitution explicitly gives the courts the right to judge state action on exactly that basis. So, nothing to see here.

Call me crazy, but here is what I am thinking. I believe a lot of their "traditional" voting electorate is not as "guaranteed" as it once was. The neighborhoods where these voters live are less safe and their opportunities are diminishing as is their overall quality of life. Every group has it's sine qua non's and red lines. I think some of them have been crossed, to the point where people will actually vote for a change or become apathetic and not vote at all. When a decent percentage of people feel that way, even the margin of fraud becomes a challenge. I hear some of this bubbling up in other states. Whether it is a meaningful trend or not- who knows. But I think Democrats are counting on votes that may not be there on election day.

Jen, this is why we lose. Is it better that your rights are violated by a business? If the cruise line requires all vaccination information from everyone, then maybe they have a case. But, we have to stop this thinking that a business can just do whatever it wants because it is a business. Businesses don't get to play as the proxy government.

336 My problem with the cruise lines as private entities rights argument is that they are using Florida seaports and discriminating against Floridians based on vaccination status. So the governor is not going to be allowed to discriminate against the likes of Norwegian but he is forced to allow Norwegian to discriminate agaisnt Floridians?

Posted by: Bert G at August 09, 2021 08:40 AM (ngead)

344 DeSantis can do a few more things with the legislature. He can make vaccine status a protected category for employment. That way the cruise lines can't hire any Floridian and ask about their vaccine status. He can also shut them down and keep them from operating in his port. While some of that is obviously hurtful to Florida, it pummels the cruise lines. It's really time to play hardball. The cruise lines have more to lose- oh and f them. A lot of people just won't go on a cruise anyway or find a cruise line who does not discriminate.

They do a deep dive into the expected casualties of invading Japan, and, and their conclusion is the military came out with the "million casualties" lie, because the actual number of casualties would be far more than that and they knew the American public wouldn't stand for it.

I think the Chicago Boyz came up with an actual casualty count of well over 2 million.

And yet, our disgusting "betters" think that sacrifice would have been more "noble" than the few hundred thousand killed by the atomic bomb.

353 The real point is to ensure that companies requiring the vaccine are liable if they make it an employment condition. If you notice, they are trying to escape that liability. But the law is fickle at best. A judge has already ruled that you can't mandate it as a condition of employment and then try to escape liability if someone adversely is impacted by it. As a company you can play that game, but in the end this is still experimental and they do not know the long term effects on many conditions. Imagine if they find it does in fact impact fertility or cause birth defects. How about the impact to people with heart disease, cancer or common drugs? This will be a trial lawyers bonanza and the companies short term vaccine triumph will cost them in a big way.

354 There is a fundamental disconnect among the Right about property rights. To begin with, Locke's formulation of the right accrues to individuals, not businesses. Locke's argument about property was that individuals had a right to accrue property in order to be able to sustain themselves and their family. Accrual of vast amounts of property well in excess of sustaining oneself and family could be regulated according to Locke.

In addition, laws dating from the colonial to after Independence and the adoption of the Constitution, restrained business practices by various ways such as minimum wages, work conditions, prices, fraud laws, enforcement of contracts, etc. via statutes and common law. The Framers were not ideologues and did not by and large agree with he who has the most toys at the end of life wins but instead considered ordered liberty as the ideal circumstances.

So, a public business selling food can be regulated for food and worker safety, a stock corporation can be regulated on compensation, compliance with financial regulations, taxes, etc. etc.

356 In addition, the decision of Gibbons v. Ogden, CJ Marshall specifically ruled that states in the absence of positive national law to the contrary based on the commerce clause, retain the right to regulate businesses including navigation which covers cruise ships. Cooley v. Board of Wardens, reiterates the negative commerce clause jurisprudence that allows states to regulate the terms and conditions of port visits by ships in that state. The negative commerce clause means that absent federal law that explicitly forbids a state practice leaving aside state police powers for health and safety and modest taxes; then the states are allowed to regulate.

361 The major counterpoint to the COVID vaxx prescription is whether or not you have existing antibodies to the Covid. Even the pro vaxx research indicates a long standing immunity to SARs related viruses lasting decades occurring from natural exposure to the virus. So, more or less, if you spend the money on antibody tests, you can indicate superior resistance to Covid based on prior infection than offered by any vaccine. Otherwise, look in to becoming a Christian Scientist or a few other sects where caselaw has developed to offer exemptions to generally applicable medical mandates.
