Pentagon Offers Money to Relatives of Afghans Killed by Botched US Airstrike – Epoch Times

The spokesman declined to say how much money was offered and whether the offers were accepted. NEI is a nonprofit based in California aimed at improving the lives of women and children in Afghanistan. Zemari Ahmadi, one of 10 Afghans killed by the strike, worked for the nonprofit. The nine others who died were all related to Ahmadi. The strike hit a home belonging to the family in Kabul in the wake of a suicide bombing attack on the airport in the city, which U.S. troops were holding at the time to help evacuate Americans, Afghans, and others before fully withdrawing from the country. U.S. military leaders initially said the strike was successful and took out a member of ISIS, a terrorist group that took credit for the attack. But….

Vaccine Mandates Awaken Calls for Freedom – Epoch Times Commentary

Eleven months ago, gas prices were low, and the United States was energy independent. Unemployment was also low, and minorities had never fared better in the job market. The southern border was relatively secure, the useless war in Afghanistan was bumping along, enriching the Pentagon but not troubling anybody overmuch, and the future looked bright. Today, the economy is in chaos; supply chains have been disrupted; inflation is soaring; race relations are poisonous; crime, including murder, is way up; the energy business is assaulted on all fronts, even as the industrialized nations face the prospect of a winter without reliable power; and China is rattling its plastic sabers. And yet, the befuddled Biden’s principal concern is forcing a thoroughly anti-American, unconstitutional series of vaccination “mandates” on the U.S. workforce that has—thankfully—finally brought the country to its boiling point. Let’s go, Brandon!

Pelosi Doubles Down on IRS Looking Into Bank Transactions

The minority leader told reporters, “While [Democrats] grandstand about taxing the rich, they have created a new IRS surveillance program designed to target low- and mid-income earners.” “Especially,” McCarthy added, the program would target “[those who] rely on tips to make [a] living.” Often, tips are given in cash, making them untraceable by the IRS. Under the new program, the IRS would be able to track these tips through transaction data. He continued, “President Biden wants to hire 1,000s of new IRS bureaucrats and give them the authority to snoop into your bank account to monitor every single transaction you make: no warrants, no permissions, no limits.”

California Bans Small Off-Road Gas Engines, Including Lawnmowers and Chainsaws

The change could strongly impact small businesses in landscaping and related industries. In addition to increased costs, the change could result in other unexpected problems, such as the need to carry charged batteries. “Bray said a three-person landscaping crew will need to carry 30 to 40 fully charged batteries to power its equipment during a full day’s work,” according to the report. …The new law is expected to affect nearly 50,000 small businesses, according to The Washington Examiner. It noted that California’s budget includes $30 million for professional landscapers and gardeners to quit using gas-powered equipment, but that it would not be enough to cover the full costs.

Texas Governor Issues Executive Order Banning Vaccine Mandates by Any Entity – Epoch Times

President Joe Biden in September issued a directive to compel private companies with more than 100 employees to have their workers be vaccinated or tested weekly. Once in force, companies face $13,600 in fines per violation. At the time, Abbott called Biden’s move “an assault on private businesses” and said that “Texas is already working to halt this power grab,” joining more than a dozen states in resisting the mandate. The text of Abbott’s latest executive order, GA-40, reads, “In yet another instance of federal overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas’s continued recovery from the COVID-19 disaster.
