NYS GOV. HOCHUL PRIORITIZED COVID-19 TREATMENT FOR NON-WHITES

 

The guidance comes as New York State set a one-day record of 76,555 for positive COVID tests, fueled by the Omicron variant, with more than 41,000 of those cases coming from New York City, according to data compiled by the health department.

However, the agency's website does not detail the races of those infected.

Data from New York City's official site shows the vaccination rate of white people at 63 percent, compared with 75 percent for Latinos, 58 percent for black residents and an astronomical 97 percent for Asians.

The state's missive, titled 'COVID-19 Oral Antiviral Treatments Authorized and Severe Shortage of Oral Antiviral and Monoclonal Antibody Treatment Products,' sets out a list of eligibility requirements for two oral antiviral treatments that had been touted as 'available and lifesaving' by the organization in an October press release.

Churches Can Engage in Political Speech

 

Churches Can Engage in Political Speech

Sep 21, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The chairman of the Federal Election Commission recently reaffirmed that non-profits, including churches and religious leaders, can engage in political speech, endorse candidates and host them on church property.

FEC chair Trey Trainor referred to the executive order, “Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty,” signed by President Donald Trump on the National Day of Prayer, May 4, 2017. 

Trainor said, “One of the first things he did when he came into office in 2017 was issue an executive order to the Department of the Treasury, telling them that they could no longer enforce that provision of the law and that religious organizations needed to be treated the same as every other organization. The Johnson Amendment is still on the books, but with lack of enforcement authority by the executive agency, it’s a law that’s not going to be enforced.” 

The executive order states it could no longer enforce that provision of the law and that religious organizations needed to be treated the same as every other organization, declares that it is the policy of the administration to protect and vigorously promote religious liberty, directs the IRS to exercise maximum enforcement of discretion to alleviate the burden of the Johnson Amendment, and provides regulatory relief for religious objectors to Obamacare’s burdensome preventive services mandate.

“All executive departments and agencies shall, to the greatest extent practicable and to the extent permitted by law, respect and protect the freedom of persons and organizations to engage in religious and political speech,” the order reads.

 “In particular, the Secretary of the Treasury shall ensure, to the extent permitted by law, that the Department of the Treasury does not take any adverse action against any individual, house of worship, or other religious organization on the basis that such individual or organization speaks or has spoken about moral or political issues from a religious perspective.” 

President Trump specifically mentioned “the imposition of any tax or tax penalty,” as well as “the delay or denial of tax-exempt status; the disallowance of tax deductions for contributions made to entities exempted from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of title 26, United States Code; or any other action that makes unavailable or denies any tax deduction, exemption, credit, or benefit,” as going against his executive order. 

The Johnson Amendment, named for then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and enacted into law in 1954, restricted tax-exempt organizations, including churches and religious organizations, from endorsing or opposing candidates for elected office. However, no church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for engaging in political speech. 

Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, "We commend President Trump for protecting religious freedom. Pastors and churches should not be muzzled." 

"The Johnson Amendment has actually always been unconstitutional, and no church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for endorsing candidates that uphold biblical values. Its only purpose was to scare pastors into silence. However, churches cannot cower in fear to a non-existent bully and hide behind their nonprofit status. 

Elections are spiritual wars that threaten the Judeo-Christian foundation of America and Christians are called to be Lights in the culture," said Staver.

US SUPREME COURT LIVE - 1/7/22 HEAR ORAL ARGUMENTS

THE SUPREME COURT IS HEARING ORAL ARGUMENT FOR OSHA AND CMS COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATES TODAY: 

OSHA mandate oral argument – 10:00am 

Starting at 10 a.m.:  The U.S. Supreme Court will hear requests to block enforcement of the OSHA mandate for shots or weekly testing of workers and mask-wearing in all private companies that have 100 or more employees.  The mandate would impact approximately 84.2 million people. Enforcement of OSHA's shot mandate will begin January 10 and the testing policy will begin February 9. 

 

CMS health care mandate – 11:30am 

Hearing starting at about 11:30 a.m.: The Court will hear appeals to block the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS rule) shot mandate for health care workers at facilities that receive medicare or medicaid funds. The order applies to about 180 million people and has been temporarily blocked in 25 states by lower federal courts.

SCOTUS Could Permanently Stop Biden’s Shot Mandates

Jan 3, 2022

The U.S. Supreme Court will hold a special session on Friday, January 7, in order to hear oral arguments for two separate challenges to the Biden administration’s shot mandates for businesses with over 100 employees and for health care workers at facilities receiving Medicaid and Medicare funding. 

The cases cover two federal policies: the “Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard,” a shot-or-test mandate for 84 million private employees, and the “Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Omnibus COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination Interim Final Rule,” a shot mandate for 17 million health care workers at facilities that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. The larger question in these cases is whether the federal government has the authority to force employers to require injections. 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued its shot mandate for large employers on November 5 and requires any workers who remain unvaccinated to “undergo [weekly] COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at work.” If allowed to take effect, it will force every large business to require proof of a negative COVID-19 test on at least a weekly basis or proof of vaccination from each worker. Companies that don’t comply would face fines up to $13,600 per violation, with a potential additional $13,600 fine for each day that an employer does not stop the violation. OSHA also could fine businesses up to $136,000 for willful or serious violations. 

However, following a ruling out of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on December 17, OSHA announced it would not issue citations for non-compliance with any requirements before January 10, and will not issue citations for noncompliance with testing requirements before February 9, as long as an employer is exercising reasonable and good faith efforts to come into compliance with the mandate. 

Since the 1970s, OHSA has issued nine Emergency Temporary Standards, six of which were challenged, and of those six, five were struck down by the Courts of Appeal. 

Great news! Yesterday, U.S. Judge Reed O'Connor, the U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Texas, granted a temporary injunction against Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for 35 active-duty Navy SEALs and three reservists who sued the administration after seeking a religious exemption. The lawsuit was filed in Texas last November. 

"The Navy service members in this case seek to vindicate the very freedoms they have sacrificed so much to protect. The COVID-19 pandemic provides the government no license to abrogate those freedoms. There is no COVID-19 exception to the First Amendment," O'Connor wrote in his ruling. "There is no military exclusion from our Constitution." 

Moving forward in Navy SEAL 1 v. Biden, Liberty Counsel is: 

* Filing an amended complaint with the court this week, adding more military plaintiffs, federal contractors, and other defendants within the Biden administration. The complaint will also include additional counts to strike down the vaccine mandate on federal civilian contractors.  

* Awaiting the DOD (Department of Defense) to submit its first report to court THIS FRIDAY, January 7, 2022, detailing how the department has been handling religious exemptions. Many religious exemption requests have now been denied at the appeal level. According to the court order, these reports are now due every two weeks. 

* Filing for an injunction next week against the Biden vaccine mandate on the military, federal contractors and federal civilian contractors and federal employees. 

We will continue to fight in the courts until every unconstitutional mandate is outlawed.

Supreme Court To Hear Vaccine Mandate Case Jan. 7th

EXECUTIVE POWER

A

We are fighting at the Supreme Court against President Biden’s federal vaccine mandate. The Supreme Court has announced it will hear oral arguments on January 7th. The mandate that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) put forward to go into effect on January 4, 2022, requires employers of 100 or more employees to implement a mandatory vaccination policy for all employees with limited exceptions.

We filed an Emergency Application for Stay of Agency Action Pending Judicial Review and Petition for a Writ of Certiorari Before Judgment on behalf of The Heritage Foundation over this federal power grab. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, but the law will still go into place on January 4th. The government has untilDecember 30th to respond to our applications. And we will be filing a brief that is due on January 3rd.

ACLJ Senior Litigation Counsel Abby Southerland explained what we’ve asked for: 

We have asked the Court first for an application for stay, to go ahead and issue an emergency stay that is in line with the first action taken in this case by the Fifth Circuit which was to issue the stay. Which was then undone by the Sixth Circuit. Then, a Petition for Certiorari would ask the Court to review the merits of the case.

OSHA issued a statement to inform employers what to do in the interim:

To account for any uncertainty created by the stay, OSHA is exercising enforcement discretion with respect to the compliance dates of the ETS. To provide employers with sufficient time to come into compliance, OSHA will not issue citations for non-compliance with any requirements of the ETS before January 10 and will not issue citations for noncompliance with the standard testing requirements before February 9, so long as an employer is exercising reasonable, good faith efforts to come into compliance with the standard. OSHA will work closely with the regulated community to provide compliance assistance.

Judge Blocks Biden’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Federal Contractors in 10 States

federal judge in Missouri has issued a temporary hold on the Biden administration’s COVID-19vaccine mandate for federal contractors in 10 U.S. states while litigation plays out.

 federal judge in Missouri has issued a temporary hold on the Biden administration’s COVID-19vaccine mandate for federal contractors in 10 U.S. states while litigation plays out.

“We just beat the Biden Administration in court again,” Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced on Twitter late Monday. “This afternoon, we obtained a preliminary injunction against the vaccine mandate on federal contractors, halting enforcement of that mandate in Missouri and the other states in our coalition.”

The preliminary injunction, issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge David Noce, applies to Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Schmitt and Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson, both Republicans, on Oct. 29 co-led the 10 states in suing the Biden administration over the mandate, calling it “unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise.”

“It will not harm the federal government to maintain the status quo while the courts decide the issues of the President’s authority and the implications for federalism. 

The Court concludes that, on balance, consideration of the harms and the public interest weigh in favor of a preliminary injunction,” reads the Monday preliminary injunction order from U.S. Magistrate Judge David Noce.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mandate Currently Blocked Nationwide

A nationwide preliminary injunction is already in place blocking the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors, after a federal court in Georgia on Dec. 7 granted the injunction in a separate seven-state lawsuit led by Georgia.

The court had decided to block the mandate for the whole of the United States because a national trade organization—Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC)—was granted permission by the court to intervene in the case as a plaintiff. 

The states of Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Utah, and West Virginia were the other plaintiffs.

“[G]iven the breadth of ABC’s [nationwide] membership … limiting the relief to only those before the Court would prove unwieldy and would only cause more confusion. 

Thus, on the unique facts before it, the Court finds it necessary, in order to truly afford injunctive relief to the parties before it, to issue an injunction with nationwide applicability,” U.S. District Judge Stan Baker wrote in the order (pdf).

At least 51 senators rejected the Build Back Better bill, including Joe Manchin. 

The West Virginia senator reportedly forced fellow Democrats to scrap an offshore drilling ban from the massive Build Back Better Act spending plan, a provision that experts say would have had disastrous consequences for the country. 

"An offshore drilling ban would be a disaster for our country, rolling out the red carpet for Russia and Venezuela to replace 20% of America’s daily production and costing Texas alone over 1 million jobs along our Gulf Coast," Jason Modglin, President of Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, told Fox News Digital.

Modglin spoke in response to reports that Manchin convinced Democrats to abandon a plan to stop all drilling on rigs in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

Ryan Sitton, founder and CEO of Texas-based reliability firm Pinnacle, echoed Modglin’s conclusion and said eliminating offshore drilling would embolden Russia, a country President Biden’s Pentagon deemed as an "existential threat" to the United States earlier this year.

"It simply makes Russia absolutely more powerful," Sitton said.

Sitton explained that the U.S. would end up buying oil lost from the offshore drilling ban somewhere else since oil demand will only continue to rise. 

"When you decrease U.S. oil production, and you put more demand on the world for Russian oil production, it just makes Russia more powerful," Sitton added. 

Gas prices hit a seven-year high in October, and Sitton said a ban on offshore drilling would only exacerbate that problem and "absolutely jack up prices again."

Manchin’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Manchin, a moderate Democrat, is one of the last holdouts delaying passage of President Biden’s massive social and environmental Build Back Better Act. 

The West Virginia senator has expressed concerns over multiple aspects of the roughly $2 trillion package, including the continuation of the expanded Child Tax Credit program.

Faced with unified Republican opposition, Biden is trying to pass the package with Democrats alone, which the House has already done. But the path in the evenly split 50-50 Senate is more difficult, with no room for dissent.

In a statement Thursday, Biden appeared to concede that his Build Back Better Act would not clear the Senate by Christmas as he had hoped

"My team and I are having ongoing discussions with Senator Manchin; that work will continue next week," Biden said. "It takes time to finalize these agreements, prepare the legislative changes and finish all the parliamentary and procedural steps needed to enable a Senate vote. 

We will advance this work together over the days and weeks ahead. Leader Schumer and I are determined to see the bill successfully on the floor as early as possible."
