WASHINGTON, DC—President Biden’s open profession of Catholic Faith has been a focus point of his political career.
After news of SCOTUS decision on #TexasAbortionLaw, a reporter asks how @JoeBiden reconciles this with actively pursuing pro-abortion agenda, @PressSec responds: pic.twitter.com/JCOA2aKxxn

This senile crook actually voted for a constitutional amendment banning abortion back in the seventies. The only thing Joe Biden truly has ever believed in is getting his share of the graft.
She didn’t address the question which concerned Biden’s professed Catholicism.
“We will launch a whole-of-government effort to respond, looking at what steps we can take to ensure that Texans have access to safe and legal abortions.”
Ah Bless. If his whole of government efforts are as good as those he put to use in Afghan withdrawal I would say his bark is bigger than his bite. He’ll wake up tomorrow, as usual, and forget his own name.
So…they plan to blow off the SCOTUS and send troops to prevent enforcement of the law, or…what, exactly? File lawsuits, when the Supremes already refused to block the law?
First shots of the Second Civil War to come next?
These people are beyond evil. Many of them would, I believe, actually start a civil war to protect the Sacrament of Satan. I pray I am wrong.
Maybe I just need more coffee.
Chinese Joe’s handlers are fighting unborn Americans with far more vehemence than they fought the Terrorists.
Chinese Joe’s bosses have met the enemy and they is you and me.

He’s the grossest character the Democratic Party has ever nominated. The presidential candidates of the Democratic Party were during the period running from 1968 to 1988 satisfactory human beings though wrong on policy. In the years since, you’ve had John Kerry (poseur, gold-digger), Al Gore (a satisfactory person at age 37 who has grown increasingly corrupt with age), Barack Obama (spiteful, superficial, vain, self-indulgent), and the Clintons (a stew of mendacity, self-indulgence, and megalomania). At every turn, the Democratic primary electorate ignored their best options; on most occasions, they then selected the ugliest character from among their lesser options. (The exceptions were 2004, when they selected one-from-the-bottom, and 2008, when they preferred the shallowest candidate to the ugliest one).
Jeremiah 6:9-15
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Glean thoroughly as a vine
the remnant of Israel;
like a grape-gatherer pass your hand again
over its branches.”
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
that they may hear?
Behold, their ears are closed,
they cannot listen;
behold, the word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn,
they take no pleasure in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am weary of holding it in.
“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
the old folk and the very aged.
12 Their houses shall be turned over to others,
their fields and wives together;
for I will stretch out my hand
against the inhabitants of the land,”
says the Lord.
13 “For from the least to the greatest of them,
every one is greedy for unjust gain;
and from prophet to priest,
every one deals falsely.
14 They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,”
says the Lord.
I think that the Clinton win just took the question of personal integrity off the table for many Democrats. Frankly, I think the Romney loss did the same for many Republicans. Any office for which virtue is not an explicit requirement will inevitably become vile.
“Being a man you will never understand what it would be like for someone else to make decisions about your body. Now take this vaccine or I’ll prohibit you from buying food.”
Amen to everyone else’s comments on this post.
Also, a slight modification to my earlier rant. The SCOTUS opinion refusing to block the Texas law was not a ruling on the law’s constitutionality, which I should have assumed, since I once claimed to be a lawyer, and it was only an issue of granting or not granting a Federal injunction against a state law. It’s a long way from being the needed overturning of Roe v. Wade, but maybe it gives a glimpse of what the opposing sides will look like at SCOTUS if and when that happens.
As for my civil war rhetoric, having had that extra coffee, I have calmed down a bit. I expect the Puppetmasters are not quite ready, yet, to start the civil war I believe they think they want.

Somehow the political culture survived having John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson in the White House.

Non sequitur.

Show your work.
Clinton was a public scoundrel. It became obvious that you could get away with things in public that JFK or LBJ might have done in private. That changed politics.
Agreed Pinky. The public at large were not aware beyond rumors about JFK’s or LBJ’s private actions or bigotry in those days, however with the advent of Clinton, his moral rot was out there for all to see as governor of Arkansas before being elected president yet it was swept away by the Dems as non relevant in Clinton’s campaign. The moral bar was lowered to the ground level with Clinton not because prior presidents were pure and moral but because the Dems no longer cared who knew of Clinton’s lack of moral character because it was “the economy stupid!” and the bar has remained there for both parties ever since.

Johnson always seemed sketchy. In any case, his multifarious corruption was documented in increments by Robert Caro, first installment published in 1982. As for Kennedy, we knew by 1975 that he had been sharing a mistress with the boss of the Chicago Outfit, and as the years have gone on, the extent of his grossness in matters sexual has received layers and layers of elaboration. Note, at the popular level, the Kennedy cargo cult has never gone away, even as academicians lost interest in the man; Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.
You’re not explaining in the least why Democratic voters rejected Bob Kerrey and Jerry Brown for Clinton, or why Gen. Clark with his history as an executive was rejected in favor of a mediocre Boston lawyer with a nose for women with 8-figure sums of money behind them, or why Trump is conceived of as a reaction to Mitt Romney’s family life and not Scott Walker leaving a million dollar bill on the sidewalk because his donors told him to leave it there.
“Johnson always seemed sketchy. In any case, his multifarious corruption was documented in increments by Robert Caro, first installment published in 1982. As for Kennedy, we knew by 1975”
True but these things were not general knowledge at the time of their elections. Different times, different values. I remember them. I think the results of the elections would have been different for JFK and Johnson had the American people known about their crap. With Clinton they DID know and the and the mantra as I said was not “character counts” but “it’s the economy stupid”
Hillary was the brains in that train wreck, anyhow. And, she truly is a bad hombre.
In 1960, election fraud was a microscopic in comparison to 2020, but hugely sufficient to plant JFK [all hat no brains] in the White House.
Likely, his promoting baby murder is connected your oh-so-devout Catholic, Chinese Joe’s reaping [through Hunter and his two bag men brothers] his customary 10% [for the Big Guy] from the socialist/abortion complex.
What in Hell is wrong with the people of Utah??? I’m pretty sure Romney is not a bad man. He simply has a yellow streak running down his back all the way to the skid marks on his magic BVDs – and he is as dumb as a bag of rocks.
In the very near future – bend over, America. Here it comes again.
True but these things were not general knowledge at the time of their elections.
You keep missing the point. They were general knowledge in 1976, 1980, 1984, and 1988. That Ted Kennedy beat a vehicular manslaughter rap was also general knowledge. The Kennedys retained their constituency.
Cue leftist Catholics for their hot takes defending Bidenand the Dems stance on abortion and ripping the GOPs attempt to bring sanity to the abortion laws. They will be full of straw, whataboutism, and inconsistent with prior writings. And then their mostly atheist echo chambers will affirm the screeds with anecdotes about their evil MAGA relatives and friends.
Rome to the rescue: Joseph Cardinal Biden. A great fit with Cupich, Tobin (Newark), Gregory and McCarrick. That otta confuse the crap outta those Rad Trads, your Holliness. USCCB response: crickets.
Muslims have a reputation for being against abortion. I wonder when Biden and his Sate Dept will connect the dots?. Their social engineering flood of Afghans may well back fire on the Left who are expecting a grateful 100,000 plus to become Democrats. Seeing the Afghani mothers handing their babies and toddlers over the airport wall to marines makes me think the average Afghan woman is not pro abort..
For Biden to threaten the citizens of Texas with basically martial law to preserve the killing of the innocents is chilling. How far will this evil man push?
The Catholic in name only American bishops were mostly silent when the Democrat Party platform included abortion funding. More silence when Trump turned out to be a champion for religious freedom and pro-life. No gratitude. Just the opposite the president and his wife were locked out of the St. Pope John Paul II Center.
” They were general knowledge in 1976, 1980, 1984, and 1988.”
We know. You keep saying that and I keep saying that at the time of their elections if the people had known of this “general knowledge” I think the election results would not have been the same. The people at that time of JFK’s election would not have had the stomach for him or LBJ.
“That Ted Kennedy beat a vehicular manslaughter rap was also general knowledge.”
Exactly and lost the presidency because it was general knowledge at the time and not after the fact like JFK or LBJ.

He lost the Presidency because he made a mess of his campaign. He was leading Jimmy Carter in surveys undertaken in 1979 which is one reason Democratic members of Congress worked (quite publicly) at getting him to run. After announcing, he sits down to an interview with Roger Mudd who asks him point blank why he’s running and he cannot give Mudd a straight answer. He never recovered from that. Carter benefited from a rally-round-the-flag effect as well, though that wore off after a while. He considered a run in 1984, but his children talked him out of it. Chappaquiddick should have blown him out of public life entirely. Instead, it was a vector influencing the direction of a public career. Note, the Kennedy cargo cult is a feature of life in the Democratic Party only. Had he been nominated in 1972 or 1976 or 1980 or 1984, he’d have faced the same impediments that the candidates actually nominated at that time faced.
Note, Kennedy was returned to office in Massachusetts seven times after he’d left Mary Jo Kopechne to suffocate in his car and three times after the quondam state’s attorney in Barnstable County, Massachusetts admitted publicly that he’d caved in to pressure from politicians and Kennedy family consiglieres and not done what he was inclined to do, which was to secure an indictment for vehicular manslaughter.
“He lost the Presidency because he made a mess of his campaign.”
Wrong. I lived in Massachusetts and voted at the time and the Kopechne death was front and center with most democrats I knew. The Boston Globe tried to steer the narrative away from that but it didn’t work. Again…moving along.
