Still, while more severe measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed, the administration worried that they would be too polarizing at this time.

The following report is from the Associated Press:

When the pace of vaccinations in the U.S. first began to slow, President Joe Biden backed incentives like million-dollar cash lotteries if that’s what it took to get shots in arms. But as new coronavirus infections soar, he’s testing a tougher approach.

In just the past two weeks, Biden has forced millions of federal workers to attest to their vaccination status or face onerous new requirements. He’s met with business leaders at the White House to press them to do the same.

Meanwhile, the administration has taken steps toward mandating shots for people traveling into the U.S. from overseas. And the White House is weighing options to be more assertive at the state and local level, including potential support for school districts imposing rules to prevent spread of the virus over the objection of Republican leaders.

To the mayors, school superintendents, educators, local leaders, who are standing up to the governors politicizing mask protection for our kids: thank you. Thank God that we have heroes like you, and I stand with you all, and America should as well.

President Joe Biden

But even as Biden becomes more aggressive, he has refrained from using all his powers to pressure Americans to get vaccinated. He’s held off, for instance, on proposals to require vaccinations for all air travelers or, for that matter, the federal workforce. The result is a precarious balancing act as Biden works to make life more uncomfortable for the unvaccinated without spurring a backlash in a deeply polarized country that would only undermine his public health goals.

Vaccine mandates are “the right lever at the right time,” said Ben Wakana, the deputy director of strategic communications and engagement for the White House COVID-19 response, noting the public’s increasing confidence in the vaccines and adding that it marks a new phase in the government’s campaign to encourage Americans to get shots.

Many Republicans, particularly those eyeing the party’s 2024 presidential nomination, disagree and warn of federal overreaching into decisions that should be left to individuals. Biden and Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, an epicenter of the latest virus wave, have spent weeks feuding over the proper role of government during a public health crisis.

There is notable support for vaccine mandates. According to a recent poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 51% of Americans say the federal government should recommend that employers require their workers to get vaccinated, while 45% say it should not.

For now, Biden has required most federal workers to attest to their vaccination status under potential criminal penalties, with those who have not received a dose required to maintain social distancing, test weekly for the virus and face other potential restrictions on their work.

Health workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Health and Human Services will be required to get vaccinated, and the Pentagon has announced that it intends to mandate vaccines for the military by next month.

The sharper federal approach comes as nearly 90 million eligible Americans still have not been vaccinated and as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, says shots are the only path for the nation to contain the delta variant.

White House officials say Biden wanted to initially operate with restraint to ensure that Americans were ready for the strong-arming from the federal government. The federal moves have been carefully calibrated to encourage a wave of businesses and governments to follow suit.

Biden administration officials briefed prominent Washington trade groups, including the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, ahead of the federal announcement in hopes their members would follow suit. White House officials have fielded dozens of calls from business executive in recent weeks about how to implement their own vaccination mandates, officials said, sharing best practices and tips for how to protect their workforces.

Through vaccination requirements, employers have the power to help end the pandemic.

White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients said Thursday, naming companies, universities and local governments that have implemented them.

The new restrictions appear to be having the desired effect. The rules — combined with fresh concerns about the surging delta variant — have nearly doubled the average rate that Americans are getting newly vaccinated from last month to about 450,000 per day.

Zients said the White House still has no plans to develop the infrastructure for so-called vaccine passports, despite some criticism from businesses that the patchwork of local and state verification systems leaves them without a clear way to enforce mandates. The Biden administration had promised to share frameworks for verification systems, but ultimately left them all to the private sector and local governments, in part because of political sensitivities.

Still, while more severe measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed, the administration worried that they would be too polarizing at this time. An administration official said the interstate travel vaccination requirement was not under consideration at the moment.

That’s not to say they won’t be implemented in the future, as public opinion continues to shift toward requiring vaccinations as a means to restore normalcy.

Lawrence Gostin, a professor of health law at Georgetown University, said Biden would likely need to continue to turn up the pressure on the unvaccinated.

He’s really going to have to use all the leverage the federal government has, and indeed use pressure points. And I think there are a few that he can do but he hasn’t done yet.

The country is completely fatigued with lockdowns, business closures and masking, and vaccines are literally our only tool. We’ve tried masking, distancing, occupancy limits, even entire lockdowns now for coming along nearly two years. And the virus just keeps raging back. And the vaccines are the only thing we have now to defeat the virus. We need to use that tool and we need to use it vigorously. And I think there will be large public support for that.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Leave it to some devil-possessed Jesuit to tell us that only answer is a vaccine deathshot. And yet, the sick and sad reality is, what that godless professor said is true: there will be public support for heavier mandates, as evidenced by the data quoted in this report.

I do not recommend this man for a number of reasons, but Mark Dice recently came out with a video where he pretended to have a fake petition to have the vaccine-hesitant arrested, and went on the streets to get people to sign it. A few were outraged, but there were plenty of others also that were elated to sign it. I believe Mark Dice is controlled opposition (as he is a MEGA diehard for Trump, and is never censored for making “inflammatory” comments), but nevertheless, the video speaks for itself.

I have said it so many times, but this nation is the land of the slave, home of the sissy; and using the phrase “God bless America” is profanity. Just look at all the clowns running the carnival and what they want to do. Moreover, look at all the circus freaks that wish to other throw the other side just so they can being the ruling class and instigators of oppression – oppression that the people want and are calling for.

[12] Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: [13] Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Isaiah 30:12-13

Therefore, (referring to the above passage), the Lord keeps sending us worse and worse leaders and tyrants for this once-blessed land: and the Lord continues to control them and direct them in what he wants them to do at his own will and discretion.

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Proverbs 21:1

… The powers that be are ordained of God.

Romans 13:1(c)

Of course, the media and the government are trying to downplay and minimize their soon to materialize mandates: which is the nice way of saying, “show us your papers.”

Welcome to the Divided States of Nazimerica.

Also, the goals of Agenda 2030 and Agenda Absolute Zero are being furthered; as those plans focus on greatly limiting travel. This certainly will do that.

Agenda 2030: You’ll Own Nothing And Be Happy

Pope Francis Launches Seven Year Laudato Si’ To Further Agenda Absolute Zero

And again, I must remind readers that while things continue to get more dark around us, it is important to remember to faith in the Lord. Bryan Denlinger of King James Video Ministries did a great video recently about how the Lord can hide and shadow his children from these oppressors. Definitely check it out.

A Hidden Fortress For Rough Times

Again, it is important to still do what you can to better your situation with stocking up on necessary supplies, some of which I have tried to report on here and there (and will try to do more of), as that will become more of a reality soon.

[21] My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: [22] So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. [23] Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. [24] When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. [25] Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. [26] For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Proverbs 3:21-26
[5] Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. [6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Hebrews 13:5-6

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • on that video you linked. “They do not realize what country they live in” and he is mocking but that statement is so true. This is not America, God fearing nation, land of the free, home of the brave. It is America incorporated.

    Keep up the good work.

    • “The long term effects of the vaccines we will deal with later” Goats to the slaughter.

      Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

    • I remember a survey Mark Dice did a few years ago with these clueless California beach bums about a new, make-believe lounge opening up called “The Holocaust Bar and Grill”. Most fell for it. California is mainly where his “man-on-the-street (or beach)” interviews take place. I don’t think “flyover country” is that brain dead quite yet, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

  • Why am I not surprised. They have torn the country apart in record time. But they have a deadline (pun intended) to keep with the Devil. Keep it they will. 2/3 of this world’s population will parish, and we will be taken up 1st by the Aliens (how they will spin it).

    I never would have thought I would be part of the end. When I first started to study the Bible and read it dispensationly, I began to see so much. Now, in just a few short years, we are on the cusp of being taken away. The posties will now have a very rude awakening. It will be a new time, and it will be the tribulation saints up next. I am so grateful for being saved in this age!

    • The conditioning has been going on for a long time. They began by ‘revising’ the Bible back to Rome’s preferred crafted Origin text bible, dumbing down, demoralizing & tempting people into sin, getting them used to corrupt governance.

      I was shocked when I got my hands on an 1890’s 8th grade graduation test. I knew most graduate students I knew could never pass it, & it put me to shame. They didn’t get ‘a,b,c, or d’ teasers. It was all fill in the blank, essay question, arithmetic and math applied, requiring the work be shown. Teachers I knew would NEVER take the time to even grade such a test by the time we started home schooling.

      Edward Hunter wrote on the communist brainwashing, and John A. Stormer was writing on None Dare Call it Treason and None Dare Call it Education….but the Catholics were already coming in with their new Rome Vatican II ecumenism, & few realized what Pat Buchanan & those guys were. Infiltrate, influence & steer, turn from the distinctives of the biblical faith, the Gospel & Christ to the subtle generic, lowest common denominator antichrist ones.

      A liberal wrote on the medium of movies & television for making people susceptible to suggestion. Her name was Marie Winn. She wrote “The Plug-in Drug” and showed the brainwave studies, how after just a few minutes viewing, the brain relaxed into the Delta state brainwaves & conscious thought, the rational gatekeeper of the soul, gave way to the highly suggestible unconscious. She used psych-speak, I use Bible for it. That’s important. But anyways, most church folk were by then conditioned into the conservative/liberal paradigm and never read anything but ‘conservative’ content or authors, refer to Buchanan above. : – /

      Even Hunter exposed how those educated in the humanist, liberal ‘open-minded’ manner were most susceptible to succumbing to brainwashing. Ironically, those hardest to brainwash were southern black baptist soldiers. They knew their Bible & Lord, not liberal theology & textual criticism, were skeptical & not trusting of any unproven outsider, & were closed-minded.

      Go figure! They’ve come a long way from the crude days of craft & brainwashing, dehumanization for lack of a better term. The Bible talks about becoming like a brute beast, & how we’re like sheep. Well, sheep have strengths & weaknesses & it’s best to be in the word & aware of what those are in order to rightly divide, and to prove all things, and to avoid being beguiled or taken captive by philosophy and/or tradition or fleeced & devoured by well-disguised wolves.

      It was a sad day for this nation when our leadership & military decided to go covert & craft to manipulate & steer, abandoning our Christian heritage & founding, Bill of Rights America, as too restrictive etc. They went Romish European, Babylonian craft, & it also came in with the Eastern influences of martial arts & the so-called Sun Tsu ‘Art of War’, and the depraved, defiling Hindu/Buddhist stuff like Woodstock & the rock-n-roll, drug scene. Some of that was purpose driven political scheming & social ‘management’. Part of Paperclip, Monarch & so forth….but the roots of it go back further & the people of God would have recognized it for what it was if they’d stuck with the Book & believed it, not trying to hold it in one hand & psych-craft, merchandising, hierarchical management techniques in the other…harmonizing it as Augustine of old with his pagan philosophy & Alexandrian compadres, his father’s military mindset & her mother’s mystical nonsense. A natural to pair with the ambitious Constantine trying to ‘unify’ the empire & maintain control by hook or by crook, using the faith & word as a rod like Jannes & Jambres, and not as Aaron & Moses.

      By the end of the Obama admin, & with the likes of Blackrock involved, they passed a bill allowing for the use of domestic propaganda against the American people. There had been infractions before, the Lord knows….but when they legalized it, any barrier or protection at all was removed.

      Now they have deep fakes & AI, & we can’t be sure of anything we see or hear media-wise.

      I reviewed Fleming’s website, flemingmethod.com, and whatever else he is, as someone with 52 years of research experience, a phd in physics, and MD & lawyer whose gone round with pharma & the medical establishment, he’s no fool, & he not only understands virology & the sequencing of the bioweapon engineered coronavirus, but what they’ve used it for in terms of promoting the not-a-vaccine operating system. There is a prion component to the spike protein those genetic altering shots deliver which directly attacks neurons, dumbing down & killing even more directly than the old school wickedness we faced.

      He not only showed the virus sequencing & engineered segments, but the paper trail for funding & in published papers, news interviews & so forth…..and explained where Cowan & Kaufman miss the boat with their exosome theory & claim of no proof of viruses even existing. It’s a pity how dumbed down & illiterate Christians have become with regard to legitimate science, and particularly applied science….and ironically, Fleming STILL swallows evolutionary philosophy while acknowledging the natural boundaries of God’s order that allow for scientific research: objective, quantitative, verifiable & repeatable that blow up the big bang & evolutionary preliminary fundamental!

      Their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being the judges! THAT is spiritual & has to do with sin, NOT science. Still, there are things we can know sufficiently, & learn, even in separation if we’re to be useful in the Lord’s service, or survive to fight another day if it be his will. They want us to despair that we can’t & to not trust anything, to go superstitious & fearful, paralyzed with confusion.

      Anyways, fight on and watch: both eyes wide open, & beware the rabbit hole. Some of that stuff can ensnare & incapacitate with confusion and fear like Goliath did the armies of Israel until simple duty, bear & lion proven David with the knowledge & zeal of the Lord came along. That stone hit that old giant right in the forehead: right where one of those marks is going to be.

      It’s no wonder God is judging.

  • I just went on my local news website, and get this, now in PA where I live they are implementing setting up the vaccine clinics INSIDE THE SCHOOLS K-12. Yes, you read that correctly. Theyre going into K-12 schools with death shots. They’re coming after the kids now too. Think of how many kids will get jabbed without their parents permission, we all know it will happen. How many kids will be coerced into getting shots not knowing what they really are……. I found it on WYOU news (PA Homepage) The link is below.
