Indeed.
Perhaps if all Americans identify as postal workers, we too can be exempt from vaccine mandates?

Joe Biden Orders Vaccine Mandates: ‘This Is Not About Freedom or Personal Choice’
“This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Biden said during a speech from the White House. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you.”
Biden used a sharper tone against unvaccinated Americans, lecturing them for refusing the vaccine.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin,” he said.
The president said he “understood” why vaccinated Americans were angry about the continued rise in cases around the country.
“Many of us are frustrated with the 80 million Americans who are not vaccinated,” Biden said.
The plan released by the White House noted the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) would develop a rule requiring all private companies with 100 or more employees to make sure their employees were fully vaccinated or produce weekly negative test results.
“We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,” Biden said.
He noted the “vast majority” of Americans were “doing the right thing” by getting vaccinated, but that he would make life more difficult for the unvaccinated.
Biden complained that unvaccinated were catching coronavirus and using up hospital capacity.
“We cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of protecting the large majority of Americans who’ve done their part and want to get back to life as normal,” he said.
The White House plan also orders the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to require vaccines for workers in health care facilities receiving Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement.
The president’s announcement is a sharp turnaround from his position last December, when he told reporters he did not support a widespread national vaccine mandate.
“I don’t think it should be mandatory, I wouldn’t demand it be mandatory,” he told reporters at the time.
But Biden acknowledged in his speech that the coronavirus pandemic was not going away, despite his best efforts to fight it.
“We’re in the tough stretch and it could last for a while,” he said.

RNC vows to sue over Biden vaccine, testing mandate
“Joe Biden told Americans when he was elected that he would not impose vaccine mandates. He lied. Now small businesses, workers, and families across the country will pay the price. Like many Americans, I am pro-vaccine and anti-mandate,” RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement on Thursday
“Many small businesses and workers do not have the money or legal resources to fight Biden’s unconstitutional actions and authoritarian decrees," she continued, "but when his decree goes into effect, the RNC will sue the administration to protect Americans and their liberties.”

McDaniel also took to Twitter, calling out President Biden’s approach to the ongoing pandemic in a series of tweets.
"[He promised] I’m not going to shut down the economy. I’m going to shut down the virus,” McDaniel wrote in a tweet. “He failed to shut down the virus. Now he is issuing orders that will shut down small businesses.”

Little reminder that Senate GOP voted to approve almost all of Biden’s appointees including Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco, who received near-unanimous approval by Republican senators.
They own this disaster, too.

House Freedom Caucus opposes Biden’s tyrannical vaccine mandate.
-The House freedom Caucus took an official position opposing Biden's Covid-!9 mandate plan, requiring federal employees and contractors be vaccinated against Covid 19.
Additionally the plan dictates private businesses with over 100 employees be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing.
"The House Freedom Caucus opposes Federal mask and vaccine mandates." Said Andy Biggs. Biden's invasive and unamerican vaccine Mandate is another attempt by the Biden regime to expand it's control over American's daily lives. Members of the House Freedom Caucus stand united in opposing this unconstitutional, tyrannical federal action."

The President has no authority to require that Americans inject themselves because of their employment at a private business. The vaccine itself is life-saving, but this unconstitutional move is terrifying. This is still America, and we still believe in freedom from tyrants.

GOV. COX ISSUES STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S VACCINE MANDATE
SALT LAKE CITY (Sept. 9, 2021) — Gov. Cox issued the following statement in response to President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate:
“Getting vaccinated is the single most important thing people can do right now to protect ourselves and our community and reduce the spread of the Delta variant. While we support efforts that encourage vaccinations, we have serious concerns about the legality of the order.”

Louisianan here. Can expect Dem Gov Edwards to wait with hand out for decision on this.
Prosperity is not built by loading the middle class with huge debt and high taxes. Centralized government control and uncontrolled government spending lead to political elites and oligopolies/oligarchs on top and everyone else equally poor a.k.a. socialism.

Ignore Biden’s illegal mandates like he ignores our immigration laws.

BREAKING: Red State Governors push back on Biden's vaccine mandate
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's office informed The Post Millennial that he will not be responding tonight, as he had already made remarks at a press event in the afternoon when he addressed the proposed vaccine mandate prior to Biden's remarks.
"I could say the one thing that I'm concerned about is them trying to force mandates on individuals and businesses," said DeSantis. "How could we get to the point in the country where you would want to have someone lose their job because of their choice about the vaccine or not? I mean look, some folks have reasons to do, maybe they're making the wrong decision, but to put them out of work and send them and not let them earn a living because of this. I just think that that's fundamentally wrong."
"As the governor said: Vaccine mandates are unscientific, ineffective, and 'fundamentally wrong.' In Florida, we will fight back," reiterated DeSantis' Press Secretary Christina Pushaw.

Who owns the vehicles that provided riot gear to Antifa in Portland?
Uniformed Antifa militants were discretely filmed unloading supply cars filled with riot gear in downtown Portland during an armed occupation last month. The Antifa took care to conceal the license plates of their supply vehicles but The Post Millennial can exclusively report out the identities of the vehicles’ registrants.
ADVERTISEMENT
Peter Nathanael Hopkins, 36, of Portland, is the registered owner of a red 2015 Honda Fit with taped over Oregon plates that was allowed inside the Antifa autonomous zone at Southwest Naito Parkway and Salmon Street. Hundreds of Antifa, many who were openly armed with rifles and wearing military-style clothing, gathered on the morning of Aug. 22 in downtown Portland and later blocked off the road using barricades. Police stayed away. Hopkins’ vehicle was used to disperse a stockpile of riot shields. The driver was dressed in black bloc, covering his face with a black mask and sunglasses. Several Antifa militants, also in black bloc and holding an Antifa flag, stood around the vehicle to unload the riot gear and to block the front and back license plates using black umbrellas.
After Hopkins’ Honda Fit drove off, a second vehicle later pulled in to supply more riot gear. Walter Steven Behrnes, 44, of Portland, is the registered owner of the black 2015 BMW i3 Range Extender that had around a dozen black shields in the back. Behrnes is the senior 3D modeling technical director at LAIKA, a major animation studio near Portland famous for the 2009 blockbuster hit, “Coraline.” As with the earlier vehicle, masked Antifa militants in black uniforms used umbrellas to hide the license plates.
It is unclear if Behrnes was the masked driver of the BMW. Behrnes ignored inquiries from TPM and quickly removed his photo and LAIKA affiliation from his LinkedIn account after being contacted for comment. LAIKA was reached for comment but did not respond.
