“President Biden condemned Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., Greg Abbott, R-Texas, and other Republican governors on Thursday for their responses to COVID-19 and threatened to use his presidential powers to overrule their authority.
During a speech at the White House regarding his executive order to boost COVID-19 vaccinations, Biden called out the Americans who have not been vaccinated.
“This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” said Biden. “And it’s caused by the fact that despite America having [an] unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months, free vaccines have been available in more than 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot.”
Biden then pivoted to go after governors who he believes are not enforcing adequately strict COVID-19 protocols.
“And to make matters worse, there are elected officials actively working to undermine the fight against COVID-19,” he said. “Instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated and mask up, they’re ordering mobile morgues for the unvaccinated dying from COVID in their communities.
“Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe in a pandemic while their governor picks a fight with them and even threatens their salaries or their jobs. Talk about bullying in schools,” Biden also said.
“If they’ll not help, if these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way,” he added.

I’m sure there’s a James Hodgkinson out there who heard the call loud and clear.
Spot on, Fred.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent Governor?”
The man is a brainless thug. So who is it that is priming him to his thuggery? Or is this just the real Joe predictably showing his true nature when he thinks he has the upper hand?
Probably a combination; a dim bulb, fundamentally a bully, being told that his authority has been disrespected, with him then acting out in a way which was elicited through deliberate incitement by The Politburo That Calls Itself “Biden”.
Putting things in terms to which Slow Joe can naturally relate; i.e., a dick measuring contest. Then ratchet up the provocations, hoping for a reaction that They can use as casus belli.
Col. Lang,
The spectacle of Americans fighting each other, perhaps even losing their lives, over how to protect themselves against a virus will bring joy to Americas enemies and consternation to her friends.
The science in this matter should be beyond politics.

Emphatically no. What lies beyond politics is far worse than even the chronic dysfunction we see today. You really think science beyond politics can be limited to “this matter”? The next matter has already been prepped and is ready to go; climate change. Your personal carbon credit system will plug right into your vaccine passport. And there will of course be endless matters after that, all demanding that politics be subordinated to science. And so it will be, if we let it. Thus the Enlightenment will end – with us enslaved by the very technology that our rational self-emancipation brought forth. We will have entered the Age of Scientism.
Science beyond politics is just another description of technocracy. This is exactly the world Klaus Schwab & the Malthusians want; a post Westphalian system of global government by oligarchic technocrats, not philosopher kings. All watched over by machines of loving grace? Delusional. Men with unchecked power will rule us in the name of science. And when ‘science’ tells them the population needs to be reduced by 90% to meet planetary sustainability goals we’ll be instructed to report to the Sleepshop. Was all that futuristic dystopian literature just a waste of paper & ink?
If it does come to fighting, as I believe it will, do not deceive yourself that it will be about protection from a virus – unless that virus is of the metaphorical kind: The one that has infected and almost overwhelmed the natural immune system of the United States.
Barbara Ann, you make good points and I agree with you. Scientists can be despots too. What concerns me is that we seem to be throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Walrus,
The communist Chinese leadership and their fellow travelers in communism laugh with joy at what their biological warfare agent, their information operations, and their intel agencies through their subversion of American scientists and politicians, has managed to accomplish.
The media spectacle of America’s great military victory in Afghanistan, why that’s as erased from history as thoroughly as Trayvon, the Syrian “chemical weapons”, and the Ukraine phone call. Americans left behind, they asked for it, like the unvaxxed. Just ask Joe.
“The Science”. To quote Ronald Reagan, “There you go again”.
The fact is as far as the Fauci engineered pandemic is concerned only the draconian quackery of The Science was allowed. The other scientists, epidemiologists & medical professors who also have Ph.Ds and Ivy League tenured positions who disagreed with the groupthink orthodoxy were canceled and labeled conspiracy theorists.
Seems like a desperation move to me, Joe’s handlers are panicking, whatever the agenda it’s losing pace.
agreed. the government’s shifted over to ‘petulant frenzy’ mode, which a mode that joe’s always been very good at…
Biden pushed for 5 month boosters. That’s evidence they know the data from UK, Israel and other highly vaccinated places sucks. The vaccines have close to zero efficacy in stopping infection and transmission. Protection against severity is at best short lived (maybe 2-6 months depending on weight, age, health, variant, etc.).
So why a mandate now? It appeases Pharma, Bill Gates, Wall St., the teachers unions and other special interests but its also a vehicle of blame deflection.
The CDC is lying and serious health officials all know fall/winter will cause a surge in cases all over the country but especially in the liberal, highly vaccinated northern states. Remember: R0 is mainly a function of humidity in temperate environments and the north gets very dry in fall/winter. They will use the republican refusal to go along with Biden’s pharma fascism to deflect blame to the unvaccinated and officials who opposed Biden’s mandates. Sane people won’t fall for that but Biden’s core (maybe 50% of dems) will. They’re lost in their NYT/WaPO, MSNBC/CNN induced covid psychosis.
We must sue the CDC. It’s lies are the backbone of this deception and the use of Covid as a weapon by the rather disgusting democrats. CDD lied about masks (the actual data is stunningly negative and so are the majority of RCTs and meta studies. The best pro mask studies are extremely weak and most are garbage) and they are lying about vaccine efficacy. That is a danger to people.
So Joe wants to protect the vaccinated from the un-vaccinated.
But who will protect the vaccinated from the vaccinated?

If this is health related then why aren’t illegal and legal immigrants included? Then it appears that those working in many roles in Congress don’t need it, along with up to 800,000 postal workers and I have little doubt the list will grow.
So how did the postal union get their exemption from the clot shot mandate? Leverage. As essential participants in the past vote fraud through mail-in balloting (and future essential participants in still more vote fraud through mail-in balloting), of course they would. One, they could leak names and more concerning the Constitution-shredders if pushed; two, a high percentage of their membership, particularly in the blue tick zones, is black, and that cohort is quite “vaccine hesitant” (hypocrisy be damned). So, favors rendered for past transgressions for the fascists, as well as for assuring future transgressions for the fascists. All sewn up, neat as neat can be.
