HERE’S THE DEAL – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t want voters to know their position on packing the Supreme Court until after the election.
But you should know that in 1983 when the subject of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s desire to pack the court surfaced, then Sen. Joe Biden said, “It was a bonehead idea. It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make, and put it in question, for an entire decade, the independence of the most significant body – including the Congress in my view – the most significant body in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America.”
IT WASN’T A SURPRISE when I saw the headline, “Biden Threatens Religious Freedom, Suggests Christians With Certain Traditional Views Are ‘Dregs of Society,” over Tyler O’Neil’s piece in PJ Media.
Still vivid in my memory are the words of then candidate Barack Obama in 2008, who, while referring to working class voters in old industrial town, said, “They get bitter, cling to guns and religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.”
O’Neil’s piece was a review of positions on religion taken by a host of Democrats, but early in his essay, he referenced Biden’s intolerance of those who may have opposing views on LGBT. He described conservatives saying, “They’re a small percentage of American people, virulent people, some of the dregs of society.”
Sounds a bit like Hillary Clinton’s reference to Trump supporters as “deplorables, irredeemable.”
Last year, the Democrat National Committee adopted a resolution condemning religious freedom defenses. “Those who support traditional marriage or the biological definition of sex as male or female will find their beliefs demonized and their religious freedom and free speech under fire in a Biden-Harris administration,” writes O’Neil.
While serving as California’s attorney general, Kamala Harris refused to defend the state law defining marriage as between one man and one woman even though Californians had voted for it in 2008. “Adding insult to injury,” writes O’Neil, “Harris rushed to officiate the first same-sex marriage after a court struck down the will of the people.”
And now, as the Senate begins consideration of the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, her Catholic faith will surely be assaulted. In a previous hearing, Sen. Dianne Feinstein told Barrett, “the dogma lives loudly within you.”
The next time you hear Biden repeat his torturous tales of his life growing up, with the home spun quotes of his father, all tied to his pitch for bringing decency to the White House and his search to restore the soul of America, remember his position and those around him on the subject of religious freedom.
SHE DOESN’T KNOW WOMEN – I have previously written about women voters. I refuse to believe that they are one-issue voters, who don’t look broadly at all issues, foreign and domestic, yet we constantly hear that women won’t vote to reelect President Trump. If I was a woman, I would consider that an insult to my intelligence, recognizing his wide-range of accomplishments.
“When it comes to the white, college-educated women who made up a sizeable chunk of Trump’s base,” asserts the elite leftist Peggy Noonan, columnist for the Wall Street Journal, “his numbers have collapsed entirely.”
I simply don’t believe she knows women, at least those outside of her East Coast liberal confines. She doesn’t know the women of flyover country, who help make up the president’s base of supporters.
In her past columns, Noonan has been highly critical of the president lacking presidential qualities, ignoring what he has achieved in four years while surviving a coup from within.
Unbelievably, Noonan is willing to ignore those achievements to merely return to normal. “If Joe Biden wins big,” she wrote, “part of the reason, maybe a big part, will be simply that he is normal. Not ‘he’s such an accomplished legislator,’ not ‘he’s the man of the future,’ or ‘warm’ or ‘has such a moving back story.’ No. He is normal. And people miss normal so much.”
That, my dear readers, comes from a white, college-educated woman. I’ll say it again – she doesn’t know women.
WE’VE LEARNED in addition to the two avowed anarchists in the group of six plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, another has been identified as a Black Lives Matter supporter, a fact that the Washington Post buried in its story, knowing that favors the president.
Reportedly, one of the conspirators was pardoned last year by Delaware’s Democrat Gov. John Carney for a series of crimes, including one involving a firearm, in the mid-1990s.
There are suggestions in the social media calling for Whitmer to apologize to the president for her outrageous and irresponsible charges that his rhetoric encouraged the plot. Don’t hold your breath.
DEMOCRAT SCARE TACTIC – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and those Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, want you to believe that those who are on ObamaCare will immediately lose their health coverage on the day the Supreme Court strikes it down … if it does … WRONG! That simply will not happen. Time will be provided for coverage to continue while the Trump administration develops its alternative, based on his recently unveiled executive order, “America First Healthcare Plan.”
AH, YES, THE TYPO in my last blog posting. It wasn’t a “their” instead of “there,” or “affect” instead of “effect.” Two common errors. No, I simply wrote Trump-Biden when it should have read Trump-Pence. An easy mistake to make in a political blog. One of my faithful readers caught it, and I have since updated it. My editor and I do our best, but typos occasionally slip through.
While on the subject of “catching” errors, I was surprised that nobody noticed my inclusion of the name, Rachel Dolezal, in my proposed list of black women on Joe Biden’s list of possible Supreme Court nominees in my September 27, 2020 blog. Dolezal is the woman who gained considerable press coverage when she claimed she was black. Not a typo, but … Gotcha.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
