‘We Will Not Comply!’: NYC Workers Protest Vax Mandate with March Across Brooklyn Bridge
October 25th, 2021Via: New York Post:
City workers took to the streets Monday to protest Mayor Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate for the entire municipal workforce.
At least 20 people were arrested during the protest, a police source said.
Days after the mayor announced that all government employees except for jail staff will need to receive a vaccine shot by Friday or be placed on unpaid leave, about 5,000 incensed demonstrators marched over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan.
Many carried American flags, chanting, “F–k de Blasio” and “We will not comply!”

Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny
October 25th, 2021Via: Margaret Anna Alice:
I’m willing to die to defend my liberty. Are you willing to die to take my liberty?
No? Good. Then stop enforcing totalitarian measures against your neighbors on behalf of the tyrants, who wouldn’t hesitate to annihilate you. Stop planning, directing, supervising, controlling, and performing their dirty work. Become part of the resistance instead of an enabler of democidal despots.
Whether you are a law enforcement officer, public health official, psychologist, scientist, medical professional, educator, employer, censor, propagandist, or any other agent of complicity in this war against the people, you are what makes dictatorships possible. You are what makes enslavement possible. You are what makes genocide possible. You are what makes the Biggest Lie in history possible.

185 Employees Leave Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Lab Due to Vaccine Mandate
October 25th, 2021Via: Epoch Times:
The New Mexico lab that produced the world’s first nuclear bomb has lost 185 employees because of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that took effect on Oct. 22, according to a lawsuit (pdf) filed against the operator of the facility the same day.
An additional 153 employees at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) were placed on leave without pay or are using vacation pay because they obtained a religious exemption, the lawsuit says. Twenty-six employees were granted medical exemptions.
Vaccine Mandates Decimating Police Forces Across U.S.
October 25th, 2021Via: The Daily Signal:
As crime rates surge, so are vaccine mandates — and resistance by police to those mandates.
That means major cities across the United States risk losing one-third or more of their police forces, hesitant about getting the COVID-19 shot.
In Chicago, more than 4,500 employees of the Chicago Police Department — about one-third of both officers and civilian employees — refused to disclose their vaccine status. Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the city’s Fraternal Order of Police are in a political standoff.
Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara said last week, “It’s safe to say that the city of Chicago will have a police force at 50% or less for this weekend coming up.”
A real disruption also soon could hit Los Angeles, where the city’s vaccine mandate deadline is in December. Last month, employees of the Los Angeles Police Department filed a federal lawsuit opposing the city’s vaccine mandate.
Likewise, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told The Associated Press earlier this month, “I don’t want to be in a position to lose 5[%], 10% of my workforce overnight.” He added that he won’t enforce the county-level mandate.
“It’s impossible to know how long this potentially lasts. We could see extreme shortages,” Jason Johnson, a former deputy commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department, now president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, told The Daily Signal. “Are cities going to enforce this mandate? There is greater risk to public safety by enforcing the mandate than not enforcing the mandate.”
Scientists Have Found a Way to Harden Wood to Make a Knife That Rivals Steel
October 24th, 2021I find this fascinating, but the demonstration videos are so ridiculous that they could only come from a university laboratory. My middle son, who was nine years old at the time, fabricated more effective wooden knives, and if you’ve ever built anything with a hammer and nails, the following demonstration is hilarious and must see.
Via: CBC:
Scientists have developed a process that allows them to manipulate wood to make it denser and harder than the natural product. They used the resulting material to make items like wooden knives and nails that rival traditional steel.
Teng Li, a materials scientist and mechanical engineer from the University of Maryland, told Quirks & Quarks host Bob McDonald that he and his colleagues made the wooden knife to demonstrate the new process they developed.
“Surprisingly, our wooden knife is actually three times sharper than the typical stainless steel dinner table knife,” he said. “It can achieve its purpose of cutting medium well-done steak very nicely without breaking.”
Their findings were published this month in the journal Matter.
Li added that the knife can be sharpened when it becomes dull, and even survive the dishwasher.

Biden Delays Release of Secret JFK Assassination Files
October 23rd, 2021Wait for it…
Via: Washington Examiner:
President Joe Biden ordered yet another delay in the release of secret files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy yet to see the light of day more than 50 years after his death.
A White House memo, signed by Biden, said “[t]emporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure.”
The order comes in response to the archivist of the United States recommending the president “temporarily certify the continued withholding of all of the information certified in 2018” and “direct two public releases of the information that has” ultimately “been determined to be appropriate for release to the public,” with one interim release on Dec. 15 and one more comprehensive release in late 2022, according to the memo.
Former President Donald Trump ordered in 2018 that documentation still under wraps stay redacted for national security reasons, with a deadline of Oct. 26, 2021. His administration said the decision was made at the behest of the intelligence community.
This time around, delays associated with the coronavirus pandemic were to blame for the recommendation to put off the release.
CDC Director: U.S. May Change Definition of “Fully Vaccinated” as Boosters Roll Out
October 22nd, 2021
Via: Axios:
Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Friday the U.S. “may need to update” its definition for what it means to have full vaccination against COVID.
The big picture: The CDC and the FDA have officially approved boosters with every authorized vaccine in the U.S. for people who meet specific requirements. Walensky explained that since not everyone is eligible for a booster, the definition has not been changed “yet.”
