A Plague For Each Letter In Alphabet . . . Biggest Illness Biden Should Fight: Phony Dream Of Glory

October 3, 2021 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

At what point might Joe Biden’s war against the United States grow so serious that he finally could be rebuked as a threateningly bad Catholic in need of public repentance before he can show up for the Eucharist at church?
Biden’s growing intrusion into Americans’ lives to force them to be vaccinated, threatening them with the loss of their very livelihoods if they don’t give him medical control of their bodies, illustrates not merely his lust for power but also his inability to be rational at all.
One of the last things a struggling economy needs is fining employers big-time and punishing and firing countless workers trying to support their families. The flu is bad, but has Biden tried to destroy everyone who doesn’t take orders on influenza from Joe the M.D. — as in Much Deluded?
When Biden prefers to see necessary health-care workers and law-enforcement personnel thrown out of work rather than gainfully employed for their skills, his destructive priorities are all too plain.
Bad as it is, we know the coronavirus isn’t a bit as deadly as earlier feared. Meanwhile, other aspects still are surprising, such as its ability to sicken people who already received a Holy Jab or two, and who can pass the virus to others despite having an “I’m vaxxed” ID in their pocket.
ID cards are onerously racist and despicable at polling places and crossing the border, but most necessary when trying to enter restaurants, theaters or to keep your job.
This is the latest intensified emphasis of a brief but already historically disastrous presidency that ruins everything passing before Biden’s gaze, from abortion to Afghanistan to borders to climate to disease to economy to — well, we know the rude “f” verb that crowds at sporting events are using against Joe — to Godlessness and gas lines to — hey, we’re going right down the alphabet.
Joe has a plague for every letter of the ABC’s. And we haven’t come to horse-laughing Harris and insane inflation yet.
And one never can forget that while Herr Biden inflicts deep pain on U.S. citizens to make them conform to his virus diktats, he simultaneously welcomes countless COVID-carrying illegal immigrants to spread all around the U.S.
Say, maybe after they learn colloquial English in a year or two, sick as they are, they can take the jobs of the Americans Biden threw out of work. Learning colloquial takes awhile. I once had a team leader from Syria who thought he’d learned English perfectly — except no one could understand him.
It’s sort of hard to believe that one or another group of the nation’s law enforcers hasn’t gotten together yet to eject Biden from the White House, before his ignorance and incapacity implode our nation like his victim Afghanistan.
When I raised this question with one military vet, he said they just want to stay in line and get their next promotion.
Oh, like officers in the former Afghan army? The Taliban doesn’t have many epaulets to award them.
It’s not as if the famous virus threatens death to 80 percent of our population, or 50 percent, or eight percent. But Biden’s rabid determination to treat the illness as if it’s worse than a medieval plague, and an excuse for his medical dictatorship, show how out of control he has gotten.
Dreaming of his guaranteed historical greatness seems to be one of Biden’s own biggest illnesses. At every point when he inserts himself as the big guy, he turns events into tragedies. Or guffaws.
Why in the world did Biden use a theatrical set that maybe was supposed to look like the White House when he got, or supposedly got, a vax booster shot on September 27? He lives in the real White House. Why not walk right over to there? He even could have the video made with a cell phone; no invasive big production crew needed.
Maybe the nurse who gave him the shot couldn’t pass a security check to get into the real executive mansion? Was it a fake nurse? A fake shot? A fake Bide — Oh, forget it.
Even left-wing comedian Stephen Colbert, goggling over the fake White House windows revealing immobile tree leaves “outside,” got a laugh out of this with his audience.
It was emblematic of a fake presidency with fake achievements and fake facts.
Who could stop laughing when this clown actually assured the nation that the Dems’ $3.5 trillion spending-blowout bill cost exactly zero dollars. And his press parrot Jen Psaki squawked exactly the same. Jen, are your little kids so ashamed of the dirty work Mom does?
Someone said this is like Santa Claus, who buys all those gifts for you under your tree. Costs you nothing. But if $3.5 trillion costs nothing, where’s my own personal $3.5 trillion from Joe? I can use it. And where’s yours? And yours? After all, this all costs nothing.
It was less of a laughing matter at a Senate committee hearing on September 27, when some of the nation’s top military under oath testified that they warned Biden to keep a modest military presence for stability in Afghanistan — instead of the disastrous dash for the exits that he staged, allowing the fanatical Taliban to swoop in.
How could this be? Biden had assured ABC’s friendly interviewer George Stephanopoulos on August 18 that they hadn’t warned him of this. Stephanopoulos seemed to have insider knowledge to the contrary, and he pressed Biden on the point.
Biden first replied, “No, they didn’t. It was split. Tha— that wasn’t true. That wasn’t true.”
Then, after a second denial from Biden, Stephanopoulos still kept it up, but Joe jabbered, “No. No one said that to me that I can recall.”
Was the “that I can recall” a stratagem to avoid admitting the truth? A devious lie by “Catholic Joe” to avoid confessing the horrors he caused? Directly destroying a nation’s well-being, a deed that seems to demand public penance before another Communion.
Or did bleary Biden actually not recall his line of thinking that caused, during that very interview, desperate people to be surging around the Kabul airport? (As well as whatever opportunists and terrorists saw a chance to crowd themselves into airplanes even while U.S. citizens and U.S. partners were left behind.)
The Washington Examiner posted on September 29 that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin admitted there were screening problems, quoting him: “It was the largest airlift conducted in U.S. history, and it was executed in 17 days. Was it perfect? Of course not. We moved so many people so quickly out of Kabul that we ran into capacity and screening problems at intermediate staging bases outside Afghanistan.”
As for the unvetted aliens streaming across our southern border, commentary writer Quin Hillyer posted at the Washington Examiner on September 26 that Biden administration performance “appears not merely incompetent, but downright sinister,” more eager to bring them in than keep them out.
Hillyer concluded: “This crisis is not based on an unexpected surprise; this is a pre-planned implementation of Biden’s preferred policy, against the desires and interests of most of his countrymen. This violation of norms and of the spirit of U.S. immigration laws is destabilizing, and it is nefarious. It warrants a major investigation into who is behind it and why Biden’s team is abetting it.”

Cannon Fodder

On September 29 The Wanderer asked two Catholic women in communications for their thoughts on Biden.
Northern California commentator Barbara Simpson said: “Joseph Biden is a liar and a man who covers up for his mistruths. If he were ‘just’ an ordinary citizen, that would be bad enough, but he is president of the United States of America. What he does is shameful and must stop because it puts our country in danger.
“Whether it has to do with the abysmal and dangerous withdrawal from Afghanistan or with his insistence on supporting and encouraging abortion while at the same time insisting that he is a ‘good Catholic’ — the man should not be president and should not be representing our country,” Simpson said.
“He has a nerve criticizing Donald Trump, who at least put the United States first. It will be interesting to see how history treats Biden’s phoniness and how his Church treats his sacrilege,” she said.
Mary Ann Kreitzer, who runs the Virginia-based Les Femmes — The Truth blog, said: “Everything Biden and his administration do is a lie. They continue to play the blame-Trump game for the border crisis while they welcome drug- and sex-traffickers and terrorists into our country.
“They hammer citizens with mandates and vaccine demands that destroy their businesses and jobs while they welcome illegals and don’t care whether they carry COVID to every small town and big city in the country,” Kreitzer said.
“But what makes me angriest, as a daughter of a Navy officer, a Pearl Harbor survivor who fought in World War II, is the abandonment of our troops and American citizens in Afghanistan. The Democrats are complicit in every death of every American and every citizen of Afghanistan murdered by the Taliban,” she said.
“Biden says they aren’t an ‘enemy of the United States.’ Really? Is that why our pitiful, demented commander-in-chief left them billions of dollars in military equipment when we pulled out? We’ve lost over 1,800 troops to our ‘friends’ in the Taliban who aren’t ‘our enemy’,” Kreitzer said. “To Biden and company, those soldiers are just Democrat cannon fodder.
“The only thing they care about is power and money. And if selling our country out to China or to the Taliban or engaging in deals to sell uranium to the Russians — it’s just Democrat business as usual,” she said.
“Biden and his buddies are guilty of treason and every one of them engaged in nefarious deals should be in jail,” Kreitzer said. “Sad to say, the justice may only come when they stand before the seat of God’s judgment, but we should work for justice in the here and now. A long jail term is a good place to examine one’s conscience and repent!”

Abortion Advocates No Longer Consider It “A Necessary Evil,” They Celebrate Killing Babies

Last week, Kamala Harris became the first vice president in U.S. history to make a public visit to an abortion clinic. Though the Democratic party’s support for abortion is nothing new, Harris’ Planned Parenthood appearance does illustrate how that support has become a flagrant celebration of abortion as a public and personal good, essential to both “freedom” and to “healthcare.” At the appearance, Harris proclaimed,  It is only right and fair that people have access…Continue Reading
