Republicans clapped back over the Biden administration’s unprecedented ‘jab or your job’ Executive Order for federal workers and contractors, and a ‘jab or test’ mandate for corporations with over 100 employees. 600,000 postal workers are oddly exempt.
The sweeping new vaccine requirements, which completely ignore tens of millions in America who have recovered from Covid-19 and have natural immunity, will affect as many as 100 million Americans.
In response, the Republican National Committed (RNC) vowed to sue Biden once the mandate goes into effect, with President Ronna McDaniel tweeting that Biden lied.
“Joe Biden told Americans when he was elected that he would not impose vaccine mandates. He lied,” McDaniel said in a statement, adding “Now small businesses, workers, and families across the country will pay the price.”
“President Biden is so desperate to distract from his shameful, incompetent Afghanistan exit that he is saying crazy things and pushing constitutionally flawed executive orders. This is a cynical attempt to pick a fight and distract from the President’s morally disgraceful decision to leave Americans behind Taliban lines on the 20th anniversary of 9/11,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) told the Daily Caller.
Meanwhile, Republican governors across the country have issued statements vowing to sue, or otherwise oppose, the vaccine mandate after Biden threatened them during Thursday’s announcement.
“Let me be blunt,” said Biden. “My plan also takes on elected officials in states that are undermining you in these life-saving actions. 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 the schools.”
“If they’ll not help, if these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I will use my power as president to get them out of the way,” he added.
Not so fast, say the governors
As Becker News reports:
Republican governors have begun to issue their responses to the federal government’s overreach and the president’s threats.
“South Dakota will stand up to defend freedom,” Noem wrote. “JoeBiden see you in court.”
Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp also responded to Biden’s remarks.
“I will pursue every legal option available to the state of Georgia to stop this blatantly unlawful overreach by the Biden administration,” Kemp tweeted.
“Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt says as long as I am governor, there will be no government vaccine mandates in state,” Josh Caplan reported.
“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announces the state already working to halt Biden’s vaccine mandate ‘power grab’,” Election Wizard reported.
Alabama Governor Key Ivey also released a statement declaring her intention to fight the mandate.
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon also issuing a statement saying: “Not now, and not ever.”
Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee also stated his broad opposition to the federal mandate.
“The Constitution won’t allow this power grab, and in the meantime, I will stand up for all Tennesseans,” Gov. Lee wrote.

So, will Twitter suspend all these accounts? Especially those that reference the Constitution, which the the National Archives now tells us contains “harmful content”?
Not now, not ever. As opposed to the herds of sheeple, informed individuals know that this poisonous jab is not only useless, but dangerous and deadly. A stark red line has been drawn in the sand, and those who value personal freedom and rights will not cross it. This may well be the call to arms that has been looming since the election was stolen. To misquote Admiral Yamamoto, “I fear all we (they) have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”.
But we have to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated.
HELLO SC, Where are you Gov. McMaster??????????
“The American Dream has turned into a nightmare under President Biden and the radical Democrats. They have declared war against capitalism, thumbed their noses at the Constitution, and empowered our enemies abroad.
Rest assured, we will fight them to the gates of hell to protect the liberty and livelihood of every South Carolinian.”
Gov. McMaster, South Carolina
Thanks PH, the goggle didnt yield any results when I searched in a hurried moment

It is disgusting that only 21 states joined. Also disgusting that this was the first time they put their foot down over covid lies and nonsense. I am not optimistic about any of this.
Not only that but the captured CEO’s will just will mandate it, just like my state that has a no mask mandate, everyone has to wear the fucking rag because the captured CEO’s say so. They will do the same with the jabs.
This is the only place I read about exempt postal workers. Interesting if true, and interesting it’s not being reported.
Obvious timing BTW.
Sundance suggests it is quid pro joe. Postal workers supported the election fraud with mail in ballots and this is the payback for their help in getting Biden installed. It will be hard to claim the mandate is a matter of public health when postal workers are exempt.
Exempt for now. It would be very easy to argue in the future that the unvaccinated postal service delivering paper mail to everyone is spreading the virus. For now it prevents a postal strike.
Kiss my ass, Kemp. You’re the big reason this jackass is allowed to play pretend “president,” with a pretend Democrat Senate “majority.”
TPTB got to him and sent a message when his daughter’s BF got BLOWN UP in a car “accident”…….
But he was not running for re-election in ’20 and things are different now.
Is this site under attack or just not able to handle increased traffic? Constant reloads and server errors.
At some point you have to stop pretending that the federal government apparatus gives one shit about their oaths to the Constitution or the rule of law. Once you figure that out governors, the next step is obvious.
Good news if it has some teeth to it. Can you sue a sitting president?
EDIT: Looked it up, in a 5-4 decision, presidents have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY against litigation. They can be brought up on criminal charges. I’m declaring this THEATER.
I am also mandated by law to wear my seat belt every time I get behind the steering wheel of my luxurious ’95 Buick Century. But, I don’t.
I am also mandated by law to be 100% honest on the taxes I owe. Ummm … bwahahahaha!! .
Get my drift?
Don’t wear your seat belt when you ride the bus to the quarantine camp Stucky. You’ll sow them.
From Admin’s main article I see there’s a quarantine/FEMA camp in Newark. I could walk there!!! (You’ll send me some beef jerkies once in a while, right?)
You got it buddy, only President Bozo will prolly order all herds of cattle slaughtered soon. Just as they are making farmers destroy their crops . Might just be a book of stamps and a forty.

Nice of the GOP to get off their asses and DO SOMETHING finally.
