Hermosa Beach City Council: STOP "No Jab, No Job" Threat Against City Workers! NO VACCINE MANDATES!


Dear Hermosa Beach City Council:


I just found out that you are thinking about forcing every city employee to be vaccinated against COVID-19.


This proposal is an outrageous abuse of power, completely unconstitutional, unconscionable, immoral.

I cannot believe that any of you are even thinking about this!

I am not going to stop raising a fuss about this.

There must be NO VACCINE MANDATES on any employee in the city of Hermosa Beach. NONE!

There must be a clear and convincing statement from the city council, the city manager, whoever is authorized, that this will not happen!

Yes, COVID-19 is a serious illness, but the survival rate is above 99%.

This vaccine mandate syndrome is a far worse, very disturbing malady, and it is spreading throughout Los Angeles County, worse than any other virus. This disease of government overreach and violation of personal privacy and professional dignity is becoming all too commonplace throughout California. The survival rate for personal health and freedom is slim to none in the face of this more serious sickness.

The city of Hermosa Beach must reject catching this tyrannical disease of vaccine mandates.

Consider what one of the largest employee unions in the state has already declared to Governor Gavin Newsom when he declared that he wants vaccine mandates for all workers:

The American Postal Workers Union has also declared NO to any vaccine mandates:



Did you even bother to contact the labor unions in the city about this? Do yhou think they are going to go along with this?! 

No vaccine mandates! NONE!

Contact the Hermosa Beach City Council and tell them to end this wicked overreach against the city employees!

Rep. Tom McClintock: In Defense of Governor Newsom

 Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Roseville) took to the floor of the House of Representatives to praise--yes, PRAISE--Governor Newsom for violating his own COVID-19 edicts, orders, and lockdowns when he went to the French Laundry restaurant and dined with 20 other people, no masks, no social distancing, and no fear about catching or passing on COVID-19 to someone else.

The hypocrisy of these arrogant government elites sparked Rep. Tom McClintock to actually praise the Governor for doing what every American should be able to do: take care of themselves, live their lives, practice common sense, and not allow the overbearing regulations about COVID-19 weigh down on their lives.



Read his speech below, and let us all do what Governor Newsom did and live our lives as we see fit!

In Defense of Governor Newsom

November 19, 2020 
Speeches
Congressman McClintock delivered the following remarks on the House floor:
 
In Defense of Governor Newsom
November 19, 2020
 
Mr. Speaker:
 
I rise this morning in defense of Governor Gavin Newsom who recently defied his own idiotic Covid edicts as he partied at one of the few restaurants that he has not yet forced out of business.  I defend him because he was doing what we all once did in a free society: make our own decisions over what risks we are willing to run and what precautions we are willing to take according to our own circumstances to protect our own health.
 
Yes, Covid is a nasty bug and a quarter of a million Americans have died while having it.  But this isn’t the Bubonic Plague.  The CDC’s best estimate is that if you are under 49, your chance for surviving Covid – it you get it – is 99.92 percent.  Even for those over 70 the survival rate is 94.6 percent.  
 
Forty percent who get it don’t even know they have it.  Yet we have allowed our officials to ruin our quality of life over it – destroying countless businesses, throwing tens of millions into unemployment, robbing our children of their educations and shredding our most cherished rights as Americans.
 
Governor Newsom’s night of partying should be a wake-up call to every American.
 

Every time we step outside our homes, the risks we face multiply.  A free society assumes that its citizens are competent to assess those risks, balance them against the avoidance costs, and to manage their decisions in a generally responsible way.  It’s called common sense, and it’s a necessary prerequisite for self-government and liberty.
 
The choices of an octogenarian with emphysema might be very different from those of a healthy governor in California.  Only a fool would claim the omniscience to make an informed judgment for every person in every circumstance in every community.  Sadly, this crisis has revealed that fools abound in public office and that a fool with power can quickly become a petty tyrant.    
 
Which brings us back to Governor Newsom.  These government nannies love to tell us that they’re just following the science.  What does the science tell us?  It tells us that Covid poses virtually no risk to children but can be severe among the elderly.  So, what did these lockdown leftists do?  They closed all the schools and ordered infected patients into nursing homes!
 
The science tells us that outdoor transmissions of the virus are extremely rare and that 80 percent of infections occur in people’s homes.  So what did these lockdown leftists do?  They closed our beaches, parks and campgrounds and ordered people to stay at home!
 
The science tells us that obesity is a contributing factor to the severity of the disease.  So what did these lockdown leftists do?  They closed all the gyms and kept the liquor stores open!
 
These lockdowns haven’t saved lives.  The states with the most stringent lockdowns generally have the highest mortality rates from Covid.  Utah stayed open while next door, Colorado shut down.  Utah currently has half the Covid mortality rate and 3/4 the unemployment rate as Colorado.  But the lockdowns have cost countless lives from suicides, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and deferred health screenings and treatments.  
 
Recently, Governor Newsom demanded that restaurant diners replace their masks after every bite, but also minimize the times they take them off.  I guess that means take very big bites.  Thanksgiving dinners are allowed in California, but only when they are held outside, guests are seated six feet apart, and they last no more than two hours.  It’s all right to use the bathroom, but only if it is frequently sanitized. Otherwise, presumably you’ll just have to use the bushes.  And for God’s sake – NO SINGING!
 
I have wondered how much longer the American people are going to tolerate this nonsense?  
 
So let us not criticize Governor Newsom.  Perhaps he has just offered us all deliverance from his own folly.   
 
Nor should we criticize the California legislators who ignored travel and quarantine restrictions to junket to Hawaii.  Nor should we ridicule Speaker Pelosi for choosing not to wear a mask in a hair salon that was forced to close for the rest of us.  
 
Good for them.  They’re demonstrating by their own actions the freedom that every American citizen needs to reclaim from these very same people.  The governor SHOULD make his own decisions about running his own life.  I only ask that he and his ilk would stop telling the rest of us how to run ours.

I'd Rather Die on My Feet Than Live on My Knees, By Michael Greer


I’ve become very disheartened. The Leftist media has successfully convinced a significant number of people that it is necessary for us to be isolated for an indefinite period of time and now that the Left has gotten us locked down, they don’t want to let us out. This is a perfect opportunity for them to finish Agenda 21’s goals. The globalists dreams are coming true.

First it was two weeks, which we all thought was reasonable because the incubation period is 14 days. We were willing. But then it was a month, then two months, then they talked about six months or until there was a vaccine (which could be never). They talk about a “new normal”. Never shake hands again, maybe no sporting events with an audience, continued social distancing, maybe wearing masks indefinitely. Why? I don’t want their “new normal”.

The Left has demonstrated just how tyrannical they are capable of being. Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti saying he’ll “hunt down” the noncompliant people. He’s filling skate parks with sand, mandating people wear masks (after being told a month ago masks don’t help), extending the lock down when fewer are getting sick. A young man arrested for sail boarding alone in the ocean. People ticketed for watching the sunset in their cars. In other states with Democrat Governors, Moms and Dads are arrested for taking their kids to an empty park, worshipers fined for listening to Easter services in their cars, while Mosques are still open.

State Governors and Mayors deciding for us what businesses are “essential”. Interestingly, most government union jobs are considered essential and those employees are still being paid even though they are shut in their homes not working. Most of these workers are Democrats and are just fine having the lock down extended because they can still pay their mortgages and bills. Teachers come to mind. Why should we still be paying them when our schools are closed? But small businesses are closed and their incomes are stopped. They can’t pay their bills. I read that one third of New Yorkers couldn’t pay this months rent.

What I find most alarming is the media. Liberals always dismiss Fox as being unreliable and I always wonder why they think the other media sources are reliable. Fox has never edited audio or video to discredit someone, or used video from an Italian hospital saying it was an American hospital as CBS did, or used forged documents as Dan Rather did on 60 Minutes, or as CNN did recently with pictures of crowded beaches. Or not reported on an obvious news event because it hurt their narrative. Don’t get me started on the difference between how Christine Blasey-Ford and Tara Reade are being covered. I speak to Liberals all the time who have never heard of an news event because only Conservative news reported on it and they refuse to listen to Conservative media. We’re not talking about opinion, we’re talking about verifiable news.

At President Trump’s press briefings the media isn’t there to learn about what is being done, new discoveries, expanded testing, new studies, encouraging developments, they are there to find some way to make Teump look bad. The dishonesty of the media has never been so blatant. While they called the ban on travel from China unnecessary and xenophobic, they now say Trump didn’t act fast enough. When Trump banned travel, China, the World Health Organization, the CDC and the media were saying the virus couldn’t be passed human to human and wasn’t airborne. Dr. Fauci, head of then CDC the last 30 years, said on February 17th the danger was minuscule and to go to the Super Bowl, and on March 9th, there was nothing to worry about and no reason for healthy people not to go on cruises. On February 5th, New York Health Commissioner, Dr. Osiris Bardot, said not to change plans due to misinformation about the Coronavirus. And EVERY liberal talking head said this was no worse than the regular flu.



Not a single World Leader was expressing concern over the virus either, but with the WHO, the CDC, other World Leaders, the media, etc. expressing no concern, with Trump being in the middle of an unfair impeachment, he went against the prevailing opinion and imposed the travel ban on China and put together a task force to look into it. The media condemned the task force saying it was nothing but “old, White men”, pretending Dr. Birx and Seema Velma, Surgeon General, Jerome Adams (who happens to be Black), and Ben Carson weren’t there.

Trump was criticized for the tests not being available. That was the CDC’s job and the tests were contaminated so new ones needed to be manufactured. The CDC didn’t want private companies to make the tests and that slowed down production. The CDC also had strict regulations on who could be tested. Trump eliminated the regulations and opened up production to private companies, but the media doesn’t tell you that. They just keep blaming him for there not being millions of tests available this minute.

Trump is a problem solver, when he sees an obstacle to getting something done, he gets rid of it. But Trump isn’t a mind reader, he couldn’t know Cuomo was advised to buy several thousand ventilators but decided to spend the money on other priorities (perhaps to provide healthcare to illegal aliens) instead. But when he does learn of it, he finds a way to fix it.

New York and Los Angeles Governors complained that their hospitals would be overwhelmed so Trump sent hospital ships to each city in record time (While Rachel Maddow was saying he’d never get them there for weeks. Did she admit she was wrong and apologize? NO!). Trump had the Javits Center turned into a hospital, also in record time. He called together CEO’s of Corporations to see how they could help. He holds conference calls with Governors to see what they need. Both Governors Newsom and Cuomo, who are not exactly fans of his, have publicly admitted that he has gotten on the phone with them right away and been very receptive. They said he got them everything they asked for....and quickly. But he still gets NO credit for anything. I keep tweeting the media telling them it is statistically impossible for Trump to be wrong 100% of the time.

At the same time the media falls over themselves to protect the Liberal agenda. This weekend Jake Tapper spoke to Nancy Pelosi. She said when Trump banned travel from China he didn’t do enough. Any responsible journalist would have reminded her that she tried to overturn the travel ban, she said it was xenophobic and wanted to censor the President as being racist. A responsible journalist would have reminded her that when Trump extended the travel ban she said it was “discrimination described as policy”. He might have reminded her that on February 27th she was in Chinatown telling the public to come on down. But, no, Tapper just sat there and let her LIE.

Since China destroyed evidence, and the doctor who tried to warn of the virus died of it, we have no evidence to prove if the virus was accidentally released or on purpose, however, what IS clear is that once the virus was out, China purposely released it on the world. They stopped travel from Wuhan to the rest of China but DID NOT stop travel to other parts of the world, especially America. What is also clear, is that it didn’t come from the “wet market” in Wuhan. It didn’t come from eating bats. The Wuhan “wet market” sells seafood. It doesn’t, and never has, sold bats. But the Wuhan lab WAS testing on bats. They were testing species to species transmission. Why does the media pretend it is impossible for the virus to have escaped the lab? Especially, when a few years ago Americans visiting the lab expressed concern at their lax safety measures? But instead the media has no curiosity about who patient #1 was, or why China shut down travel to the rest of China but not the rest of the world. They simply repeat China’s propaganda.

From the day Trump took office he warned of how unfair our trade agreements with China have been. This virus has proven just how right he was. It has exposed how our representatives have been sending most of our manufacturing to China. Putting this country in a precarious position by having 90% of our drugs and medical supplies coming from a country that wants to dominate us. They have been letting China buy up companies here in America. And they have been enriching themselves In the process.

At the same time we have social platforms censoring anyone who disagrees with WHO, Fauci or the lock down. Yesterday, as ER doctors, Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi, were being interviewed on Laura Ingraham’s show, YouTube took down their video’s. There was nothing in those videos that wasn’t true. These doctors are more qualified to speak than any the Liberal media trots out. No one proved anything they said was incorrect, they just didn’t want it heard because the Left WANTS to keep us locked down. Why aren’t Republicans pushing to change the status of social media from platforms to editors? Liberals aren’t being censored. Liberals used to be big defenders of free speech. No more.

What this virus has shown is that descent of ANY kind is no longer tolerated. Look how the Left is treating Georgia Rep. Vernon Jones and Michigan Rep. Karen Whitsett. This is a time we need MORE informed debate, not less.

When liquor and Pot stores are “essential”, but churches aren’t, when you can go to a grocery store or Home Depot, but not vote in person, when you can sit on the sand but not in a beach chair, this isn’t about “science”, it’s about POWER!

I’ve spoken for years about Agenda 21 because I believed if people knew about it they’d stop it. Now that they have most of the world locked down, I’m not so sure we can.

May God Bless America.
