"We the People" "Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ"  NHS Doctor Tells Patient NOT to Take COVID Vaccine Because They Will be Pulled Soon A National Health Service doctor in the UK who was speaking with a patient over the phone – and telling her to not take any more doses of the experimental Covid-19 vaccines because the shots are about to be pulled out of circulation, has caused alarm on social media after a video recording of their conversation went viral this week. In the recording, which was reportedly of a telemedicine appointment out of Chichester UK, a woman is informed by the doctor that because of information that has been hidden from the public that shows the dangerousness of the rushed vaccines, they will likely be halted globally very soon, and therefore she, and everyone else she knows, should not take any more doses – for their own safety. “There wasn’t enough information,” the doctor can be heard telling the woman. “And it’s a lot more coming up especially for the young people whose immunity is intact, apparently that’s enough.” Seeking clarification, the woman, who was experiencing headaches she thought were related to the vaccine, presses the doctor on what she means. “So, just to make sure – so, you think I shouldn’t have any more vaccines then?”   “If you ask me that would be my advice. But, yes,” the doctor responds. Curious as to why that would be the professional opinion, especially since these experimental vaccines are being pushed across the board as safe and effective, the woman follows up by asking if that advice applies to just her, or anyone of a young age, which is when the doctor finally stops beating around the bush. “Because it’s very much as I said to you, there is a lot of information coming up now which was not available earlier and very soon all of the vaccines will be completely stopped.  This is information that [has] really just come up. You won’t hear it on TV for a while – probably because…[sigh] it’s a long story, but um yeah, so it’s very soon they will stop all of those vaccines. People don’t know, but yeah.“ Read more  (Source: The Gateway Pundit)  WATCH THIS VIDEO! Ireland to End Most CCP Virus Restrictions, Including COVID Passport Almost all CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus restrictions in Ireland will end on Saturday, including domestic COVID-19 Certificates, curfews, social distancing, and capacity limits. Addressing the nation following the recommendation to lift the restrictions from the National Public Health Emergency Team, Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Micheál Martin declared it’s time for the Irish to “be ourselves again.” This makes Ireland the second country following England to remove mandatory vaccine passports after they were implemented. But the mask mandate, self-isolation rules, and protective measures in schools will remain, and Martin “strongly encourage[d]” people to get themselves and their children vaccinated. After a Cabinet meeting on Friday afternoon, Martin said the Coalition government agreed to lift most of the restrictions the next day. “Humans are social beings and we Irish are more social than most. As we look forward to this spring, we need to see each other again. We need to see each other smile. We need to sing again,” he said. “As we navigate this new phase of COVID, it is time to be ourselves again.” From 6 a.m. on Saturday, COVID certificates, which are currently required as proof of vaccination or recovery to access indoor hospitality venues, cinemas, theatres, gyms, and leisure centres, will be scrapped. Premises will no longer have to manage people’s movements, group sizes, and distances, and the 8 p.m. curfew for hospitality businesses and indoor events will be lifted. Restrictions on private indoor meetings (up to four families) and capacity limits for events and weddings will also be removed.

We ask that other world leaders, too, would discern the times and allow their own people to be set free from unneeded mandates and other restrictions. In Jesus' name, amen. - "He whom the Son sets free is free indeed."    (John 8:36)      Biden’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Federal Workers Blocked Nationwide President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees was blocked on Friday by a federal judge. Biden does not have the authority to impose such a mandate, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote in a 20-page ruling obtained by The Epoch Times. Federal law says the president “may prescribe regulations for the conduct of employees in the executive branch,” and government lawyers argued that the act of becoming vaccinated is “plainly ‘conduct.'” The judge, though, sided with plaintiffs, who asserted the conduct cited must be “workplace conduct” for him or her to regulate it. “So, is submitting to a COVID-19 vaccine, particularly when required as a condition of one’s employment, workplace conduct? The answer to this question became a lot clearer after the Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this month,” Brown said, referring to the Supreme Court’s recent finding that the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses appeared to fall outside of its powers as conferred by Congress. “The Supreme Court has expressly held that a COVID-19 vaccine mandate is not an employment regulation. And that means the President was without statutory authority to issue the federal worker mandate,” he added. (The Epoch Times) Read more here.  - Lord God, at the news of this report, we shout another HALLELUJAH on  behalf of our federal government employees. We praise God that their own "freedom of choice" has been secured by this ruling, so that each one may now choose for himself or herself whether to take a vaccine. Praise God, once again! - "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord!" (Psalm 150:6)   In Context: Who are we as a Nation? While last week's storm in the Senate has passed, it remains important for reflection because that which brought it on remains. Near the end of the all-day debate Wednesday, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia began remarks saying, “Mr. President, I am glad that a number of my Republican colleagues are in the Chamber because I am going to speak very briefly just to reassure you that I am not so immodest that I believe I am going to persuade you, but I do want to try to reassure you.” Interestingly, this came right on the heels of remarks from Sen. Murphy of Connecticut who spoke about the “stakes” of the debate, how “democracy may actually collapse,” and “it matters more than anything, even the traditions and the rules of the Senate.” It seems he needs some reassuring. America has become gripped by fear, and the halls of Congress are no exception. Democrats are genuinely fearful that not changing the Senate Rules would be worse than changing them. This goes beyond polling nervousness about another 2010 mid-term shellacking. This is an existential fear. That is why even though the bill was primarily touted as being about voting rights, Majority Leader Schumer repeatedly noted the bill was about voting rights, dark money and gerrymandering. Even in the midst of emotional comments from Senators, the voter suppression claims most often come down to how long people have to wait in line to vote which usually comes down to living in densely populated areas, something Democrats promote. “Dark money” is simply a term to evoke fear about monetary giving without knowing the donor's name or amount. The problem with any laws about political giving is they also control speech. The left likes to claim, “Money isn't speech.” They're correct. Nonetheless, all speech has value and cost and therefore can be assigned a monetary value. As soon as speech has a dollar value, any laws that control money in politics also control speech in politics. Public disclosure laws can also be used to intimidate donors. The odd thing about Senators worrying about gerrymandering is while House district boundaries can be redrawn every decade, state boundaries almost never change. In recent decades, majority control of the Senate has changed more often than has majority control of the House. While the fears may be unfounded, we do not do well to dismiss another's genuinely held fear. 1 Peter has some helpful points: “Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king” (2:17). “Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing” (3:8-9). Who are we as a Nation? Is America a “democracy” in which the right to vote is most fundamental? Are we one nation under God in which we are first called to be ruled by God and His Word, second rule ourselves with self-control, and third operating with a form of government most conducive to those ends? Father, we continue to ask for humility, for ourselves and for our leaders, those with whom we agree and those we don't. We ask that it would not take another crisis for 100 Senators to gather on the Senate floor, speak to and engage one another. We ask for our Nation to be of one mind in You. “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) Tim McGhee Pray for Congress, CHPP Legislative Analyst Recent Floor Activity Daily Digests – House • Senate — Prayers — Committee Reports Senate — Daily Leader Remarks • Actions begun, passed, declined, summarized McConnell calls filibuster vote 'biggest day in history of the Senate' • Senate GOP blocks election bill • Ossoff and Collins clash over her past support for voting rights legislation (Floor Debate) • Manchin chides Dems over filibuster, saying he can't support 'such a perilous course' • Manchin, Sinema join GOP to sink filibuster change for voting bill • Biden, Schumer respond • Schumer, Dems accept floor failure Former Sen.
