King Joe: Biden Looking to Override COVID Policy in Red States
Townhall.comX ^ | 13 August A.D. 2021 | Matt Vespa

Leah covered this development this morning. The Biden White House isn’t looking to enact a nationwide COVID vaccine mandate but will probably implement measures that pretty much make it impossible for anyone to do…anything without getting the shot. There is no mandate, but there is one seems to be the playbook here. The new action item is to mandate vaccination for interstate travel—all of this while COVID-infected illegals are shipped all over the country, but whatever, right? The Associated Press said that they’re not going to push it since it “would be too polarizing for the moment.” So, is this an emergency or not? A Biden White House official said that this is not being discussed at this time. That’s not a denial. They want to do this but can’t move on it due to the midterm elections.

And it’s not just vaccine mandates for interstate travel, Biden is reportedly looking into whether he can overrule Republican governors on their COVID policy (via Daily Caller):

President Joe Biden doesn’t “believe” he has the power to override Republican governors on COVID-19 policy in states like Florida and Texas, the president told reporters Tuesday.

Biden made the comment in response to shouted questions from reporters following a Tuesday speech at the White House. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have both instituted a ban on mask mandates in their states.

“Do you have presidential powers to intervene in states like Texas and Florida where they are banning mask mandates?” a reporter asked.

“I don’t believe that I do thus far. We’re checking that,” Biden responded. “But federal workforce I can.”

King Joe is looking to issue his edicts. Only an impending election season is stopping him. Again, undercutting this whole ‘emergency situation’ mindset. If stuff can wait due to political concerns, then you must wonder if the panic is being overblown. Who am I kidding? You've all known it's been that way for months now.

Xio, I won't take any of your "mandates" seriously unless and until you take border security seriously.

It’s not Biden because Biden has no brain cells functioning; Zero or someone else has their entire arm up Biden’s rectum.

Xio is envisioning the very opposite of the approach Trump settled into. Once he got a long, hard look at the nearly unlimited scope of the governor’s police power in and among the several states, he changed his stance from one of great initiative to one of support for the COVID-control efforts underway at the state level.

Vaccine passports to drive on interstate highways; prohibition from buying food without proof of vaccination; withholding medical care for unvaccinated people; eliminating social security and disability payments to unvaccinated people; restrictions, masking, and lockdowns mandated at the federal level ... all proposals of the Democrat/Communist/Left which exposes their greatest weakness: The Left always -- always! overreaches, which ultimately causes them to crash and burn (as they should!) when normal people decide they've had all the Democrat/Communist/ Left's sh*t they're going to take.

It's clear we have reached that point as awareness of the Left's carefully planned hysteria is accelerating. Take every opportunity to join in on the fun whenever the opportunity presents itself which is becoming increasingly more often and more closer to home (in every respect) with the hourly pronouncement of each new liberty-destroying idea of the Left.

How much of this would be going on if Obama had NOT been abandoned by both his parents?

Most if not all of it.

While Obola was smoking dope, sniffing blow and "dating" men here's what was going on: It all began in "academia." From there Marxist constructs got mainlined by the leftist media. From there, leftist politicians turned all the crazy, Marxist theorizing coming from academia into policy. In the meantime, due to incrementalism, a huge swath of the public became comfortable with crazy leftist ideas and policies, or at least not pissed off enough to shut them down. And of course the schools brainwashed the young into believing in them. Million of those children are now adults and entering positions of authority.

The Left captured academia and the media a long, long time ago. Its ownership of both is complete.

The election of Obola would have been impossible without the Marxist Left's capture of the "education" system. With or without him, we'd still be where we are today.

Completely impossible to stop interstate travel. Every road between states would have to be manned. Supplies would ground to a halt etc not to mention walking across anywhere.

Then there’s the massive civil uprising.

It’ll never happen.

Yes. It’s actually President George Soros.

Why the heel didn’t Trump’s DOJ throw Soros out? He’s a wanted man in a couple of countries. All they had to do was allow him to be extradited to stand trial.

“Every road between states would have to be manned.”

And, heavily fortified because they would surely be taking fire from snipers. I would not want to be a border crossing guard at one of those posts.

AGREE. I’m in the group who CAN’T take the vaccine. I do the groceries, I have Specialist doctors (4) every 6 months. Disabled, the 2nd Meniere’s attack nearly left me Deaf, can’t get hearing aids right. And never will, until the Audiologist learns to set them for the real Noisy world, not a quite, direct to the ear room. Adults who lose hearing struggle, as we speak, kinda lip read, but have no resources to increase hearing but crappy Hearing Aids. I’ve tried bone conductors, speakers, use the cellphone speaker which is to weak, none of it works. Trying o watch TV is torture, over head music is like being in a loud factory. Same goes for eating out. Next attack will leaf me deaf, and all the programs are for KIDS. Can’t hear alarms, ER Vehicles, had to have Hard of hearing added to my DL info. Have a Idiot husband who has FLIGHT DECK hearing loss that only puts them on to watch TV at night, that won’t turn the over loud TV down and wonders why a foot away I can’t hear him. Same goes for doctors who don’t look at you when they speak.

Idiot wanted to know if I wanted a FEE PAID STICKER announcing to all of CRIME RIDDLED MEMPHIS I WAS HARD OF HEARING. NO, THANKS. MY S/W .38 SP WORKS BETTER.

Local leaders in Texas are ignoring the Governor’s orders and are implementing mask mandates.

“The new action item is to mandate vaccination for interstate travel...”

States are sovereign. Fascist DC has no legal leg to stand on in trying to shut down interstate commerce. States could also declare any action like this as a terrorist act and prosecute gestapo flunkies under their anti-klan laws.

The outrages of today’s rats are built upon generations of outrages going back to FDR.

They never give up in the face of setbacks, but always come back again and again. The Left owns every major American institution and will eventually get what they want . . . unless We the People do an end run around them.
