November 23, 2021
Job Creators Network filed a brief asking the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to reject the Biden Administration’s request to reimpose OSHA’s vaccine mandate. The brief argues that not only should the current stay of the mandate remain in place, but it should actually be expanded to make clear it applies to the entire Biden Administration, which insists on strong-arming compliance despite the stay. It reiterates the mandate’s many fatal flaws that are a sufficient basis to maintain the stay.

BPC Updates Debt Limit “X Date” Timing: Could Arrive as Soon as Mid-December

November 18, 2021
The Bipartisan Policy Center now projects that the debt limit “X Date”—when the United States will no longer be able to meet its obligations in full and on time—will most likely arrive between mid-December and early February. Today’s update narrows BPC’s previous range of mid-December to mid-February. While the projection no longer entails a caveat for the Highway Trust Fund transfer, which has been confirmed and incorporated, the result is a greater likelihood than usual that the X Date will fall towards the front portion of BPC’s range.

Bishop Votes Against Democrats’ Socialist Spending Agenda

November 19, 2021
“What is the actual need for a nearly $2 Trillion socialist tax and spend plan that will add almost $400 Billion to our deficit? Democrats and President Biden cannot seem to answer that. And they don’t need to, it’s clear that this is their radical political agenda being rammed through Congress without consideration for who it will harm. For starters, Biden’s unchecked inflation crisis is crushing America’s working class, and spending trillions of dollars that we don’t have is only going to make our economic crisis worse. They also laughably promised this plan would be ‘fully paid for.’ That was always a lie, and we didn’t need to wait for a CBO score to tell us that. Democrats brazenly added radical provisions, such as mass amnesty, tax breaks for the wealthy, and federally funded abortions. The ‘Build Back Broke’ agenda, coupled with the Green New Deal ‘infrastructure’ plan, will do irreparable harm to American families. There’s simply no reason to be supporting this socialist agenda.”

Residents seek healing as details emerge in grocery shooting

What do you want to bet that it was payment for entry into the US?

"The shooter’s parents live in Nashville and are part of a community of Christian refugees from Myanmar who have settled there, according to Aung Kyaw, a friend of the family who came to pray with them at their home on Friday."

Quick note: If anyone else had been taking advantage of this new law in the grocery store, the gunman may not have injured as many, nor may he have killed one. He'd have been dead before the 2nd shot.

"Earlier this year, Tennessee became the latest state to allow most adults 21 and older to carry handguns without first clearing a state-level background check and training. The measure was signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Lee over objections from some law enforcement groups and gun control advocates concerned the measure would possibly lead to more gun violence."

I have family in Collierville. One member of my family was at that store one hour before the shooting. It is by God's grace and mercy that they were safe when it happened.

COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Two women who had been strangers prior to Thursday’s mass shooting at a Tennessee supermarket clenched each other’s hands and fought back tears Friday, as they gathered at a vigil to pray for healing from the previous day’s rampage at a Kroger where the shooter worked.

Hollie Skaggs and Sara Wiles happened to be running errands at the same Kroger in Collierville. A day later, after a gunman killed one person and himself and wounded 14 others, Skaggs called Wiles her guardian angel.

House Representative Gibbs Asks House GOP to Consider Impeachment of Biden

Source: U.S. Representative Bob Gibbs (R-OH, 7th)

Washington, D.C. - September 24, 2021 - (The Ponder News) -- Following the blatantly unconstitutional directive from the CDC on eviction moratoriums, Congressman Bob Gibbs wrote to his Republican colleagues asking them to consider and debate filing articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden.

After sending the letter, Congressman Gibbs released the following statement:

“The rule of law, the separation of powers, and the limitations of executive authority are not just talking points conservatives and Republicans use on the campaign trail. When we see clear violations of the oath entrusted in elected officials, it is time to consider our constitutional duties. We cannot have a repeat of the DACA debacle, in which an unconstitutional order metastasized into acceptable administrative policy. The President is derelict in his duty, having repeatedly said he lacks the authority to extend the CDC’s eviction moratorium, then extending it anyway. His actions on the border represent a negligence in keeping America secure. We need to cut this off at the pass now and show we will not stand for clearly unconstitutional actions.”

The letter discusses the unconstitutionality of the CDC’s directive, the President’s acknowledgement it is unconstitutional, and the dereliction of duty with respect to the situation on the southern border:

“President Biden’s recent actions on the border represent a blatant dereliction of his constitutionally prescribed duties. Moreover, his shameless disregard for the limitations of his executive authority is a violation of his oath of office. “Many of us were witness to the politically motivated impeachment proceedings of the previous four years. As conservatives and Republicans, I believe we understand impeachment is a serious constitutional mechanism, meant to be used only in the rarest and most grave circumstances. Sadly, we saw our Democrat colleagues debase it and use it as a talking point for electoral gain. We must strenuously avoid such trivial treatment of our duty.”

Attempting Action to Hold the WHO and China Accountable

Washington, D.C. - January 23, 2020 - (The Ponder News) -- U.S. House Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO, 3rd) introduced legislation to hold the World Health Organization (WHO) and China accountable for their role in the global COVID-19 pandemic on Friday.

"The WHO is China-centric and panders to Beijing at every turn. There is no reason U.S. taxpayers should contribute more than $400 million annually to an organization that covered for China and failed to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We must not let the Chinese Communist Party off the hook. We must hold the WHO accountable. Joe Biden failed to do either of those things and his edict yesterday only emboldens Beijing. Rejoining the WHO without ensuring accountability for the American people is the wrong move,” stated Boebert.

Thursday, Joe Biden signed an executive order reversing President Trump's decision to leave the WHO.

Friday, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) introduced her first three bills as a Member of Congress.

H.R. 374, the World Health Organization Accountability Act, ensures America holds both the WHO and China accountable for their failures that contributed to the outbreak of COVID-19.

The text of the bill can be viewed HERE.

Members of Congress that cosponsored H.R. 374 so far include Representatives: Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Tedd Budd (NC-13), Madison Cawthorn (NC-11), Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Matt Gaetz (FL-01), Jody Hice (GA-10), Ralph Norman (SC-05), David Rouzer (NC-07), and Elise Stefanik (NY-21).

H.R. 374 prohibits contributions to the WHO until the State Department and Health and Human Services conduct a thorough investigation into the activities by the WHO and the Government of the People’s Republic of China that contributed to global COVID–19 pandemic.

Media reports indicate China initially downplayed and covered up the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak which resulted in a three-week delay in responding to the virus and a corresponding inability to contain it.

If China had been forthright, estimates suggest we might have seen 95 percent fewer cases and perhaps averted the global pandemic

Doctors in Wuhan knew in early December 2019 that there was a problem, but China did not notify the WHO until December 31st. China also refused to let the WHO in to investigate the growing epidemic. For its part, the WHO provided cover for China’s missteps and even participated in spreading its disinformation.

The U.S. was the largest single donor to the WHO in 2019 and reportedly gave more than $400 million. This contribution represents nearly 15% of the WHO’s entire budget.

Attempt to Block Paris Climate Agreement

Washington, D.C. - January 23, 2020 - (The Ponder News) -- Lauren Boebert (R-CO, 3rd) has introduced the Paris Agreement Constitutional Treaty Act to try to block Biden from re-entering the Paris Climate Accord.

"My bill prohibits Congress from spending a single penny on the Paris Agreement until this treaty is ratified by the United States Senate. Joe Biden took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. If he wants to keep it, he must transmit the job-killing Paris Agreement to the U.S. Senate for ratification. Unilaterally entering the Paris Agreement was wrong in 2016 and it's wrong now. Responsible energy production supports more than 230,000 Colorado jobs. The Paris Agreement puts these jobs at risk and will increase energy costs. $4 per gallon gasoline, here we go again!" said, Boebert.

Friday, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) introduced her first three bills as a Member of Congress.

H.R. 376, the Paris Agreement Constitutional Treaty Act, blocks all actions and funds for carrying out the Paris Agreement until a treaty is passed by the U.S. Senate.

The text of the bill can be viewed HERE.

Original cosponsors that joined Representative Boebert in introducing her bill include Representatives: Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Mo Brooks (AL-05), Tedd Budd (NC-13), Ben Cline (VA-06), Bob Good VA-05), Yvette Herrell (NM-02), Doug LaMalfa (CA-01), Mary Miller (IL-15), Alex Mooney (WV-02), August Pfluger TX-11), Randy Weber (TX-14).

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, the Treaty Clause, grants the President the “power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.”

It is clear that the Paris Agreement is a treaty, not an administrative agreement as falsely claimed.

Thanks to President Trump's leadership, the U.S. formally exited the job-killing Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020.

Implementing the Paris Agreement could destroy up to 2.7 million jobs in the United States by 2025 alone.

Yesterday, President Biden signed the instrument to rejoin the Paris Agreement and announced and the U.S. will officially become a Party of the Paris Agreement in 30 days.

Simply put, the Paris Climate Agreement places an economic handicap on the U.S. for generations to come while yielding no discernible benefit to the environment worldwide. It allows bad actors, like China, to keep increasing CO2 emissions until at least 2030 with no penalty.

Compliance with this unconstitutional agreement will also ensure that the U.S. increases dependence on foreign countries for our energy needs – a huge national security risk. The U.S. has the highest regulatory standards in the world and shifting production to hostile nations is not only bad foreign policy, its bad environmental policy as these countries don’t operate under the same regulations.

American ingenuity and innovation have allowed the U.S. to become a global leader in reducing carbon emissions. Unshackling job creators by reducing overreaching regulatory burdens has resulted in voluntary actions and technological advancements that have yielded significant benefits for the environment. That is the path America should be pursuing, not unrealistic and unattainable climate goals not based in science that yield no benefit.
