éla na ta dóseis (Come and give them) #DONOTCOMPLY

Sorry if my Greek is off. I don’t speak it, so I used Google Translate.

September 9, 2021, we were introduced to an American tyrant, President Joe Biden. In an appalling lack of judgment and an inability to ‘read the room’, President Biden decided what was best for all of us, to “protect” us from a virus that currently has a 1.6% mortality rate. (Deaths/#of casesx100)(https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailydeaths)

Last December, then President -Elect Biden sang a different tune (https://nypost.com/2020/12/04/biden-wont-mandate-getting-covid-19-vaccine-wearing-masks/). Even as late as this July, his Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, said it was ‘not the role’ of the federal government (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2021/09/09/flashback-psaki-said-vaccine-mandates-not-the-role-of-federal-government-n2595640). Yet, here we are.

Thus far we have a virus that, while highly communicable, is not very lethal, and an Administration who, as late as six weeks ago, did not think that mandates were the role of the federal government. Add to that his extra-constitutional bullying of states that don’t comply.

A Biden official today, Cedric Richmond, said the Administration will “roll over” states that resist mandates (https://m.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/biden-adviser-says-administration-will-run-over-gop-governors-who-resist-vaccine-mandates_3991333.html). Seriously, some people apparently flunked their government and civics courses in high school and beyond!

Start with the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” (https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-10/) I await, with sardonic irony, the gymnastic attempts by people to argue this allows Biden to do what he wants to do, because there sure is nothing else in the Constitution that confers that authority on him. Since it is not a power delegated to him, nor are states prohibited from exercising that authority themselves, well, let’s just see the silly stuff people will say in response.

So we start with a virus with 1.6% mortality rate, add in a shaky government that has done a complete 180 on their stance on vaccine mandates. To all of that, add a huge dose of unconstitutional actions, and you have Joe Biden, the man who would be King.

This is a country where the government is of the people, by the people, and for the people. We don’t get dictated to. The Daily Wire, a news and media company with well over 100 people, has decided that President Biden can “toss off”, as the Brits might say. They started the hashtag #DONOTCOMPLY. 19 governors and at least 2 Attornies- General have announced they will file suit (https://m.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/19-governors-2-ags-immediately-resist-bidens-vaccine-mandates_3990650.html). That’s all great, but maybe, just maybe, it’s time for Americans to remember our roots, slap Biden’s nose and tell him, “Bad, Biden!”

Or, if you want to use questionable Greek, try “éla na ta dóseis”. Either works for me.

P.s. I received both doses of the Moderna vaccine back in April, upon advice from my doctor.
