‘Biden Lied’: Marsha Blackburn Calls for POTUS to Resign over Afghanistan Debacle

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on Tuesday called on President Joe Biden to resign over his fatally botched withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan, accusing the Commander-in-Chief of making false statements about advice he received on pulling out from the war-torn country.

Testifying publicly before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie both said they recommended keeping some U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

“I won’t share my personal recommendation to the president, but I will give you my honest opinion and my honest opinion and view shaped my recommendation,” McKenzie told lawmakers. “And I recommended that we maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan.”

“I also have a view that the withdrawal of those forces would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually the Afghan government,” he added.

Milley told lawmakers that while he would not divulge his “personal” recommendations to Biden, he believed that “back in the fall of 2020, and remained consistent throughout, that we should keep a steady state of 2,500 and it could bounce up to 3,500, maybe, something like that, in order to move toward a negotiated solution.”

The testimonies of Milley and McKenzie raise questions as to whether Biden lied to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos during an August 19th sit-down in which the president said he could not recall whether his military advisors urged him to maintain a U.S. presence in Afghanistan.

Below is a partial transcript of the exchange in question between Biden and Stephanopoulos:

STEPHANOPOULOS: But your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.

BIDEN: No, they didn’t. It was split. Tha– that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.

STEPHANOPOULOS: They didn’t tell you that they wanted troops to stay?

BIDEN: No. Not at — not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn’t argue against that.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told — your military advisors did not tell you, “No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It’s been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that”?

BIDEN: No. No one said that to me that I can recall. Look, George, the reason why it’s been stable for a year is because the last president said, “We’re leaving. And here’s the deal I wanna make with you, Taliban. We’re agreeing to leave if you agree not to attack us between now and the time we leave on May the 1st.”

The seemingly contracting recollectings of Biden and McKenzie and Milley prompted Blackburn to call for Biden’s resignation.

“Biden lied when he told Stephanopoulos no one advised him against his timeline-based withdrawal. His recklessness resulted in the deaths of 13 US servicemembers and abandonment of countless citizens & allies. Biden can’t avoid the consequences of his actions. He must resign,” the senator wrote on Twitter.

Whistleblower Alleges Mayorkas is Threatening to Terminate Significant Portion of Border Patrol Workforce if They Don’t Get Covid Vax by November

A whistleblower came forward and alleged DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas is threatening to terminate border patrol agents who don’t get the Covid vaccine by November.

So border patrol agents must be vaccinated, but the illegal aliens flooding over the border are not subjected to any vaccine or testing mandates.

Jim Jordan, Ranking Member on the House Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to Mayorkas on Tuesday demanding answers.

“While our border is facing this serious crisis, we have learned that you are threatening to terminate a significant portion of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) workforce,” Jim Jordan wrote. “On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14043 requiring federal employees to fully vaccinate against Covid-19 or face termination of their employment.”

Rep. Jordan continued, “It has come to our attention that the men and women of CBP have been given official notice that they must be fully vaccinated by November 2021 or face termination.”

Jordan argued the vaccine mandate will reduce the already-depleted Border Patrol workforce in the middle of an unprecedented border crisis.

“It is simply unbelievable that the Biden Administration will allow Covid-positive illegal aliens to surge across the border but will terminate dedicated law-enforcement officers who do not comply with Biden’s mandate.”

Biden's Vax Mandate To Be Enforced By Fining Companies $70,000 To $700,000?

President Joe Biden didn’t just announce a Covid-19 vaccine mandate on companies employing 100 or more people, he plans to enforce it.

On Saturday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s House quietly tucked an enforcement mechanism into their $3.5 trillion “reconciliation” bill, passed it out of the Budget Committee, and sent it to the House floor.

Buried on page 168 of the House Democrats’ 2,465-page mega bill is a tenfold increase in fines for employers that “willfully,” “repeatedly,” or even seriously violate a section of labor law that deals with hazards, death, or serious physical harm to their employees.

The increased fines on employers could run as high as $70,000 for serious infractions, and $700,000 for willful or repeated violations—almost three-quarters of a million dollars for each fine. If enacted into law, vax enforcement could bankrupt non-compliant companies even more quickly than the $14,000 OSHA fine anticipated under Biden’s announced mandate.

The Biden Administration has already started implementing its vaccine mandate enforcement blueprint:

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) set precedent this summer and published an emergency Covid-19 rule in the Federal Register taking jurisdiction over and providing justification for Covid-19 being a workplace hazard for healthcare employment.

Early in September, Biden announced his 100-or-more employee Covid-19 vaccine mandate and tasked OSHA with drafting an enforcement rule to exert emergency vaccine compliance authority over companies with 100 or more employees.

The legislative provision that passed the Budget Committee raises the OSHA fines for non-compliance 10 times higher – and up to $700,000 for each “willful” or “repeated” violation. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not announced when the House will vote on the reconciliation bill that includes the new OSHA fines.

If the legislation is enacted, OSHA could levy draconian fines to enforce Biden’s vaccine mandate, a move that could rapidly bankrupt non-compliant companies. The Biden mandate affects employers collectively employing an estimated 80 million workers.

“Record-High” Coral Coverage across the Great Barrier Reef: Claims of Impending Extinction Proven False

At the risk of writing the most redundant statement on the web: Today’s scientific establishment has been utterly corrupted. Those ‘scientists’ at the higher echelons, the ones effectively in control of a given field are firmly rooted – knowingly or not – within the pockets of the unseen elites, i.e. those forces on-high with powerful agendas and a limitless bankroll to push them.

Take what happened to Dr. Peter Ridd as an example.

Marine Physicist Peter Ridd was taken to task for daring to question anthropogenic global warming’s impact on the Great Barrier Reef. Dr. Ridd believed that the catastrophic claims of ‘a dying reef’ spouted by many of his puppet-peers were overcooked. And where others privately questioned the consensus, Peter Ridd had a backbone, and went public with his beliefs.

Basically, Dr. Peter Ridd wrote an opinion piece in the Jan, 2018 issue of Marine Pollution Bulletin which challenged the prevailing understanding of the state of the Great Barrier Reef. The essay drew attention to what Ridd argued was a “reproducibility crisis” and also to the validity of specific papers on the topic. Moreover, he recommended a new review body for “policy science”.

As a result, Dr. Ridd’s employers, James Cook University, took a number of disciplinary measures against him, and ultimately he was dismissed. It didn’t stop there, though — in the process, Ridd’s character was assassinated, his reputation was tarnished, and his funds were drained (via fighting this BS in court). And for what…? What great crime did he commit…? Well, in today’s world of controlling agendas and narrative-driving fraud, Dr. Peter Ridd’s crime was simply ‘speaking the truth’:

“Record-High” Coral Coverage in Great Barrier Reef

As reported by Sky News Australia, former JCU Marine Physicist Peter Ridd says the Great Barrier Reef is now experiencing “record high coral cover”.

“This is data that’s been accumulated over a little while now and it shows … it’s actually at record high coral cover… We’ve got more coral on the Great Barrier Reef now than we did when records began in 1985,” said Ridd.

“We’ve got twice as much coral as we had after huge cyclones went through the reef in about 2011 and 2012, and this record-high coral cover is despite supposedly having three catastrophic unprecedented bleaching events in just the last five years. So you’ve just got to wonder were those bleaching events as catastrophic as these experts supposedly claimed?” concluded Dr. Peter Ridd – who I think showed a meritorious level of tongue biting.

My question is, what does an alarmist do with this piece of information?

WorkSafe charges Victorian government over alleged hotel quarantine breaches

The Victorian government has been charged over a litany of alleged hotel quarantine breaches in a bombshell development.

Victoria’s workplace safety watchdog has taken the extraordinary step of charging the state government with 58 breaches over its hotel quarantine fiasco last year.

The Department of Health faces fines of up to $1.64 million.

In a bombshell development on Wednesday afternoon, WorkSafe Victoria charged the department with 17 counts of failing to provide a workplace that was free of health risks to employees.

It was also charged with a further 41 breaches.

The charges related to the state government’s hotel quarantine program, set up between March and July 2020.

The Department of Health was responsible for the oversight and co-ordination of the program.

WorkSafe alleged the Department breached Occupation Health and Safety laws by failing to appoint people with infection prevention and control expertise to be stationed at the hotels.

It also alleged the department failed to provide security guards with face-to-face infection prevention control training by a person with the appropriate expertise prior to them starting work.

Written instructions for the use of PPE were “either failed or initially failed” to be provided to workers, it was also alleged.

WorkSafe also questioned whether the Department failed to update written instructions on the use of face masks at several of the hotels.

“In all charges, WorkSafe alleges that Department of Health employees, Victorian Government Authorised Officers on secondment, or security guards were put at risk of serious illness or death through contracting COVID-19 from an infected returned traveller, another person working in the hotels or from a contaminated surface,” a WorkSafe statement read.

“The decision to prosecute has been made in accordance with WorkSafe‘s General Prosecution Guidelines, which require WorkSafe to consider whether there is sufficient evidence to support a reasonable prospect of conviction and whether bringing a prosecution is in the public interest.

“Inquiries into other entities associated with this investigation including hotels, security firms and other Government departments and agencies have concluded.”
