Just like any other contracting organization, the Gov't can implement new T&C's, but that doesn't mean that 3rd parties will agree to them.

Most government contracts run on multi-year timeframes so it may be a long while before any contract extension or new contract will be required for many businesses. In fact, the fake president and his crony overlords may well be out of office before a significant # of federal contracts term lengths end. The exec order and the instructions won't mean diddly then.

Lockheed Martin is continuously pursuing defense-related contracts so it comes as no surprise that they and others of their ilk will be requiring employees to get the experimental jab.

Texas Governor Issues Executive Order Banning Vaccine Mandates By Any Entity

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...-entity_4043807.html

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday issued an executive order that bans vaccine mandates by any entity, including private employers, in the state.

“The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, and our best defense against the virus, but should remain voluntary and never forced,” Abbott said in a statement upon issuing the order.

The executive order (pdf) states, “No entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine by any individual, including an employee or a consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19.”

“I hereby suspend all relevant statutes to the extent necessary to enforce this prohibition,” Abbott wrote in the order.

He also added the issue as an agenda to the third special legislative session which is currently convened until Oct. 19, to give lawmakers the opportunity to pass a law to similar effect.

“The executive order will be rescinded upon the passage of such legislation,” Abbott wrote.

President Joe Biden in September issued a directive to compel private companies with over 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.”

It adds, “countless Texans fear losing their livelihoods because they object to receiving a COVID-19 vaccination for reasons of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19.”

The governor noted in his executive order that the Texas legislature “has taken care to provide exemptions that allow people to opt out of being forced to take a vaccine for reasons of conscience or medical reasons.”

Abbott previously in June signed into law a measure that bans government entities and private businesses from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for service or entry. Businesses that don’t comply with the law will not be able to enter any state contracts and will be ineligible to receive a grant.

A previous executive order Abbott signed in April did not cover private businesses with regard to vaccine passports.

I just got thrown out of a bar, not the first time - probably not the last.

I usually try to mind my own business - especially with this COVID nonsense, but tonight I had enough. Probably because it was a rough day at the office.

I went out to eat with the wife, we are both vaccinated. We walked up to the door and she had her mask on, I did not. Host asked me to put it on, I did. We went inside, had dinner and a drink or two. Host was walking around, talking to people without his mask on. "I said rules for thee, not for me". He said some shit, I said some shit, they asked us to leave.

PS:

The food sucked and my Yuengling was flat.

Well, at least he got that part right, and I appreciate it.

About a month ago I was threatened with removal from the Centurion lounge at Philadelphia Airport. But it wasn't just an idle "please wear your mask or we'll ask you to leave." No, this frothing at the mouth 5 foot nothing meatball of a woman nearly yelled it at me with an airport cop in tow. And this wasn't a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th warning. No, this was the first time this visit that this woman said anything to me.

What happened was she was harassing two guys sitting to the right of me who she was constantly telling to put their masks on between sips of their drinks and bites of their food. Each time we would share a look like, "this crazy broad." I happened to be literally eating every time she passed by so wasn't harassed. Well, I stood up, put my mask on (as I did wear it when walking around the lounge), got an espresso, put it at my seat, then went to the bathroom. When I came back, the two guys were gone. I figured they left to catch their flight. I then removed my mask to take a sip of my espresso, and wham! This bitch was on me like a rabid dog. This is when she threatened to kick me out. I calmly said, "ma'am, I am literally taking a sip of my espresso." "Oh no, I saw you talking to those two. I just had them removed by this officer here, and you'll be next if you don't start following the rules!" It was then I noticed the airport cop standing 5 feet behind her. She was furious and said I need to keep the mask on and just pull it down between sips. I laughed and said this is ridiculous and that I'm leaving. I then got her name and headed off to the Sky Club where they don't harrass me.

This isn't the first time I've had words with this particular lounge manager, but it was the first incident that particular visit, and the first time she's threatened removal by police force. I had intended to contact Amex but haven't yet. I wish I had. Anyway, we'll see what happens in two weeks when I'm back in there.

COVID expert Dr. Peter McCullough urges ‘unbreakable resistance’ to vaccines for kids

This ‘can’t be about COVID at this stage,’ he said. It’s about ‘some type of totalitarian takeover that’s occurred all over the world. Something very dark is going on.’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/n...ews&utm_campaign=usa



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Hi Rev

Sorry for your experience.

Most of NC is pretty reasonable but the larger urban centers are hotbeds of liberal insanity.

In my small town, Apex, the mayor (former cop and all around good guy) told the police not to enforce any mandates, state or county.

You see all sorts of petty tyrants emerge in this madness (see Alan's post above re airport lounge female Napolean).

I wear it walking around and such but as soon as I sit down it comes off. I’m not pulling it down to take a drink and then replacing it. A couple weeks ago I forgot to put my mask on and went to the bar. The bartender just reminded me that I was supposed to wear it, but still gave me my drink.

They make an announcement every 20 minutes or so that we have to wear masks but I’ve never seen anyone hassled by staff.

Yes, as I said, they never harass me in the Sky Clubs. This petty tyrant though roaming the Philadelphia Amex Centurion lounge is a different story. I don't know how the other Centurion lounges are, but I can tell you the Philadelphia Centurion lounge is overseen by a miniature tin-pot dictator.

I live in liberal central (Northern VA) and I've only been asked once in the last 3-4 months to put on a mask. It was at my orthodontist office. Told them I didn't have one, they gave me one, I put it on. Wore it until my name was called. After you name has been called COVID can not infect you and you are safe until you head back towards reception, then COVID is out of time out and can infect you again.

Makes perfect sense.

That is absolutely correct. It works if you say your name three times in the mirror too.

We paid, and then left. I didn't feel like making a bigger scene than what was already made.

Yep. I made the same comment a few days ago. Everything this administration is doing is geared to one thing....destroying the US economy.
