Joe Biden is Not My (Catholic) President

Sorry to be a downer, but Biden is indeed our president, for better or worse. TD

 American Thinker  "It is hard to imagine a worse start to a presidency than Joe Biden signing 42 executive orders in a fenced-in Washington D.C. The inauguration showed a strong military presence, but few actual citizens.  This presidency bears no resemblance to democracy. None at all. And now, with the stroke of a pen, Biden has alienated American Catholics and other Christians who hold strong values about life. When asked about the abortion policies of the new administration, White House press secretary Jen Psaki responded that Biden is a devout Catholic who had gone to Mass on inauguration day. Yet, one week later, Biden proved that he is not devout or even Catholic on the issue of abortion. It is baffling why he considered it an urgent matter to end the Mexico City Policy that restricts taxpayer funding of abortion providers overseas. Originally promoted by Ronald Reagan, the Mexico City Policy enjoys broad, bipartisan support of Americans. Over three-quarters of the population, including people who are pro-choice, support this policy.

"There is no pressing need, then, to revoke this popular, longstanding policy, yet this is exactly what Biden did on January 28, the day before the annual March for Life. Why is this cruel extension his first priority when it shatters the unity he spoke about? In Catholicism, abortion is a grave evil because it takes a life." . . .

CNN Tries to Shame Daily Caller for Asking About Biden's Catholicism, But It Backfires 

. . . "The presumptive Democratic nominee does not just support abortion — he supports a wide array of extremely radical policies promoting the killing of unborn babies in the womb. According to his campaign website, Biden supports repealing the Hyde Amendment (which protects pro-life taxpayers from funding a practice they consider to be murder), rescinding the Mexico City Policy (which prevents abortion funding overseas), striking down state limits on abortion, and restoring federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

"Biden has also bragged about his character assassination of Robert Bork, the Supreme Court nominee whose last name became a verb thanks to the vitriol he endured. The former vice president insisted that he protected Roe v. Wade (1973) by defeating Bork." . . .

9+ Democrats Who Should Be Ousted From Their Committees by the Marjorie Taylor Greene Standard

PJ Media  "On Thursday, House Democrats, with the help of a few Republicans, took the unprecedented step of voting to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) of her committee assignments, for her past embrace of QAnon conspiracy theories.

"Their action came with a warning from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who said of Democrats, “I would remind them what Leader McConnell said when Democrats voted to nuke the judicial filibuster: ‘You’ll regret this. And you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.'”

“If people are held to what they have said prior to even being in this House, if the majority party gets to decide who sits on what other committees, I hope you keep that standard, because we have a long list you can work with in your own,” McCarthy added.

"Make no mistake about it, 2022 is fast approaching, and I’d put money on the GOP retaking the majority. Remember, the GOP managed to gain seats in 2020, despite predictions of losing more seats. Also, historically speaking, midterm elections are usually pretty bad for the party in power. So, in the event that the Republican Party gains control, they will now have a precedent giving them the green light to strip Democrats of committee assignments for embracing conspiracy theories and other unseemly behavior. Here’s a list of Democrats they should start with." . . .Keep reading... The most obvious to me are Waters, Schiff, and Swalwell.

Biden, AOC, Pelosi, Swalwell, and..... well, all Hollywood's favorites

 Don’t you dare insult our valued Hollywood stars!  . . . "After the Twitter back-and-forth, Saad wrote up an essay for Psychology Today (which you can find archived here) in which he quoted at length from their exchange. He concluded that Rogen is a “hypocritical fraud” and that he and the other leftists in his world are “vacuous parasitic virtue-signalers”:

Bottom line: In order for a signal to be an honest one, it must be handicapping; it must be costly to the one who emits the signal.  Raif Badawi lived out his convictions. He engaged in costly signalling.  Seth Rogen and other champagne socialists do not live out their convictions. They are vacuous parasitic virtue signallers who wear Che Guevara t-shirts from the luxury of their Malibu homes.  Be the former and reject the latter.

"The article took off, probably because people were delighted to see someone speak honestly about the vapid hypocrisy that permeates Hollywood. Psychology Today, though, pulled the article: . . ."

In the comic, Syaf, an artist from Muslim-majority Indonesia, featured a reference to the Koran verse Al Maidah 5:51, which urges Muslims not to take Christians and Jews as allies.

 CNN’s First Ratings of the Biden Era Are a Disaster

"MSNBC actually fared the best of the big three networks in the final week of January, edging out Fox News.

"Tucker Carl[s]on, according to the numbers, was the only program across all three networks in primetime to maintain the same level of viewership during Biden’s first week and remained relatively steady throughout January." . . .

CNN saw their ratings crater by 44 percent in the first week of the Biden administration, something Variety says “may offer a portent of what the post-Trump era will be like for the network.”

"Primetime numbers for the pro-Biden network steadily declined throughout January from record highs but dropped significantly more than other networks during the final week.

"They also struggled with some very important demographics.

. . . 

"It’s Trump’s Fault

"Remarkably, Stelter goes on to suggest that Fox News’ ratings struggles are the fault of former President Donald Trump.

“ 'Is this Trump’s fault?” he opined, asking a question that likely runs through his head every morning, noon, and night.

"“President Trump helped the network in the short term — but ultimately the network hurt Trump and he wounded them too,” he added. “‘Never before had a network been so closely affiliated with a commander in chief,’ WaPo’s Sarah Ellison and Jeremy Barr wrote Tuesday.”

Biden’s New Asst Sec of State Worked for Islamic Terror State That Funds Hamas

 Frontpage

“ 'I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11, discussing his work as the national coordinator of the anti-Israel Middle East Justice Network.

"Biden has now chosen Amr as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel-Palestine.

"I have news for every Israeli," Amr ranted in one column written after Sheikh Salah Shahada, the head of Hamas' Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was taken out by an Israeli air strike.

"Amr warned that Arabs "now have televisions, and they will never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents."

"He also threatened Americans that "we too shouldn't be shocked when our military assistance to Israel and our security council vetoes that keep on protecting Israel come back to haunt us"

The future State Department official was making these threats less than a year after 9/11" . . .

Hady Amr and other reasons for glee in Ramallah - opinion  . . . "PRACTICALLY FROM the moment that Trump assumed office in January 2017, PA President Mahmoud Abbas and his lackeys realized that they were in for a rude awakening. The new sheriff in town was not buying their tired attempts at manipulation. As far as Trump and his team were concerned, the Palestinian victim card was no longer in the game, let alone cause for capitulation." . . .
