Manchin Joins GOP to Fight Private Sector Vaccine Mandate – Epoch Times

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has come out against President Joe Biden’s unprecedented private sector vaccine mandate, joining Republicans in officially cosponsoring a bill that would overturn the rule.

If a rule is overturned under this procedure, federal administrations are forbidden from issuing the same or a substantially similar rule.

“There is no question that mandating a vaccine to 10.3 million health care workers is something that should be done by Congress, not a government agency,” Doughty wrote. “It is not clear that even an act of Congress mandating a vaccine would be constitutional.” Doughty added that the plaintiffs also have an “interest in protecting its citizens from being required to submit to vaccinations.” “If human nature and history teach anything, it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency,” he wrote. “During a pandemic such as this one, it is even more important to safeguard the separation of powers set forth in our Constitution to avoid erosion of our liberties.”

GOP Senators’ New Bill Would Block Biden Administration From Paying Illegal Immigrants – Epoch Times

President Joe Biden’s administration would be blocked from issuing settlement payments to illegal immigrants if a new bill introduced by top Republicans is passed by Congress.

Dying COVID-19 Patient Recovers After Court Orders Hospital to Administer Ivermectin – Epoch Times

Loudoun County Moms Set Out to Protect Their Children; Now They’re Trying to Save America – Epoch Times

[Cooper, is a Black mother with a White husband] Fast forward to May, when Cooper had some quiet time while recovering from major surgery. It was then that she decided she needed to do something about what was being taught in her child’s school. “I see people fighting racism with more racism,” she said. “Critical race theory now is trying to take the children away from the parents to make them social justice warriors. CRT is Marxist ideology. And the last thing I want is my family to be breaking apart.” She used the time to write a speech protesting CRT at the next school board meeting. “CRT is racist. It is abusive. It discriminates against one’s color,” she told the Loudoun County school board on May 11. “Today, we don’t need your agreement. We want action and a backbone for what we asked for today: to ban CRT.” “You cannot tell me what is or is not racist. Look at me. I had to come down here today to tell you to your face that we are coming together. We are strong. This will not be the last greet and meet, respectfully,” Cooper said as she left the podium. The video of her speech went viral.
