Sailors at the scuttlebutt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve come into possession of some information that might be enlightening to you deplorables. Consider the source though, I am merely a rumor mongerer.<\/p>\n

New York State Vaccine Incentives<\/h3>\n

New York City now is requiring COVID vaccine passports<\/a> at many indoor settings.\u00a0 They’re also incentivizing getting the prick by handing out $100<\/a> if you get the vaccine. The government paying you for an experimental vaccine used\u00a0<\/em>to arouse suspicion from the Left, but now it’s the norm. Hell, DeBlasio now says “The voluntary phase is over.”<\/a> Not at all chilling visions of authoritarianism, right?<\/p>\n

While New York State has come up with a COVID passport scheme of their own, it seems that if the information I have is correct, Governor Andrew “Touch ’em, kiss ’em, and retaliate against ’em” Cuomo is looking to institute a statewide monetary incentive.<\/p>\n

The information I received is that the Cuomo administration, considering this an urgent matter, is asking contractors to develop a COVID biometric ID card that can be mailed out to all residents of the state that have not yet received the vaccine (so you’re telling me they have lists…). Said certificate would come with $10, no questions asked, but if you get the price, the state will give you another $90, matching the NYC incentive.<\/p>\n

One contractor asked to participate is Veritec, Inc. Veritec “offers a complete line of secure verification and financial products
\nVeriCode\u00ae and VSCode\u2122 2D barcodes, prepaid debit cards, biometric ID cards, mobile banking applications and secure payment systems.” Cuomo’s biometric prepaid debit card would be right up their alley.<\/p>\n

If my sources are right, there’s an emergency meeting on the topic scheduled for Monday. Expect an announcement of the policy sooner than later what with Cuomo’s current scandals hitting the wire. Nobody point out how voter ID is racist and a burden on people to vote but that the government can send out a secure, biometric ID card to every resident of the state.<\/p>\n

Border Chaos<\/h3>\n

The crisis<\/del> “challenge” at the border is apparently worsening. It’s being reported that\u00a0ALL<\/strong><\/em> Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio sector of the US-Mexico border in Texas have been pulled from the line. Every agent is now dealing with processing and guarding the massive numbers of migrants coming across the border, not out catching them.<\/p>\n

This is not isolated. Other border sectors are saying that the top priority is processing illegals, then staffing the checkpoints, and lastly, manning the border. National Guard units activated to assist are apparently being used to build more border wall.<\/p>\n

So who’s watching the border? Apparently not many people. Texas State Troopers and troopers and cops from other states sent down to assist are about it. Also the citizens being terrorized by the inflow of illegal aliens. Thanks to Texas stand your ground laws, ranchers and other residents aren’t being held back from shooting (or shooting at) those threatening their lives and\/or property. Border Patrol will respond to your house after a dozen illegals have broken in and you’ve shot at them in defense, so residents have that going for them. Which is nice.<\/p>\n

From everything I’m reading about the life and work down there, the federal government has completely abrogated any responsibility for securing the national border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
