It's a bureaucratic hack. Some states have laws that state that bills can't be voted on unless they've gone through a committee or that bills can only be introduced at the beginning of a legislative session (the beginning of the year) and not the end. This way the bills can be honestly and properly debated on. So this transportation bill was already in process and up for debate. Bills can always be "amended" - so they "amended" the bill by adding their vaccine mandate language and removing what was originally there so they can ramrod their legislation through.
No - it would NOT have been "over".
Israel has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and their numbers are skyrocketing as well.
The only "misinformation" here is a buncha reddit mods with their heads up their asses demanding that we listen to Fauci (today - not what he said yesterday) and slavishly believe the authoritarian state.
Useful idiiots.
This was something mixed into leftist thought after 9/11 and W's invading Afghanistan and Iraq. Before that Atheists MOSTLY hated all religion equally because Christianity was the direct villain. Somewhere just after 9/11 the leftist became sympathetic to Islamists because they hated W and the Republicans - so the enemy of my enemy is my ally and there was a concerted effort to defend and become sensitive to islamic fundamentalism and defend them as being mere victims to American Oppression. This is why South Park was forced to censor their episode showing Mohammed because doing so would be supporting W and the Iraq war (which, as we all know, was haram!)
It was this self-censorship that spurred on the anti-bullying stuff which originally was to stop Islamic harassment and then quickly got extended to LGBT groups and heck anyone who was "victimized" by the evil GOP and that's how we ended up where we're at today.
Always was.
Always is.
You go through the Bible and it was always amazing that people act so stupidly and you're wondering how people could be that moronic and it must be a little hyperbole in there. (and even if you don't believe in God - the Bible is at the very least a passing down of recorded human civilization and what worked and what didn't and that certain laws and rules encoded therein were established for a good reason that's withstood the test of time)
Why would people create a golden calf 40 days after being rescued from Israel where they observed God's direct actions? They couldn't be THAT stupid...
What's the meaning behind God striking down the Tower of Babel - that human unity is bad? Yes there's arrogance to be sure - but acting as one people for a common goal like all the Saturday morning cartoons say is a good thing - why would God be against that?! (see also Germany and WW2)
And now we have soy latte drinking purple haired fat boys dictating civilization from behind a recliner and scared to go out into the world.
You read about "God's Word" and "God is Truth" and, until this last year, I always thought that was a rhetorical phrase to help keep you on a moral path.
Not any more - now I realize it's a philosophical edict! Without the establishment of objective reality (presented by God) without His word - people will utterly believe whatever stupidity appeals to them this minute. And it's not even like the 60s "if it feels good then do it" type stuff - It's pure animal, superstitious, emotional thinking.
It's like we're living Asimov's Nightfall story...
ok - rant off.
I don’t understand what Biden or Biden’s handlers were thinking? Did they think they could lay the entire blame for this at Trump’s feet? Was this Biden’s personal vendetta on Afghanistan because they dissed Hunter?
Are the Chinese really bribing Biden for these actions? (which - while improbable - is about the only thing that makes rational sense)

Existing methods for chromosomal sex determination (Skoglund et al., 2013; Fu et al., 2016; Mittnik et al., 2016) lack power for data as sparse as this… We therefore developed a novel approach to estimate the chromosomal sex of the individual…
Uh huh… “novel”
hate speech is exactly what we mean it to mean at that point in time - no more, no less.
