THE BIDEN INVASION - Health inspections for foreign nationals entering our country illegally have gone out the window. That's enabled the importation of many diseases which affect livestock and other agricultural output, and already these things are happening. Legal immigrants and even returning U.S. citizens must pass these inspections to protect the U.S. food supply. But under Joe Biden's catch-and-release, illegals are exempt from such cumbersome requirements. MONICA SHOWALTER

PETE BUTTIGIEG - CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE RIGHT - Scripture is progressive
Pete Buttigieg: Christianity Does Not Belong to the Right — Scripture Is Progressive
In an interview with “Now This News” South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a likely 2020 Democratic presidential candidate said Christianity does not belong to the “right wing.”
Buttigieg said, “I don’t think religion belongs to one political party. When I go to church, the scripture I hear has to do with protecting the poor, and spending time with the prisoner, and healing the sick, and caring for the stranger which to me is another word for immigrant. It has a very clear set of moral and policy implications none of which are things I would associate with the right wing.”
He continued, “Christianity to me is about humility, it’s about love. If we want to put those values into political practice at least by my lights, they lead us in a very progressive direction.”
"We
live in a moment that compels us each to act,” he said. “The forces changing
our country are tectonic — forces that help to explain what made this current
presidency even possible. That's why this time it's not just about winning an
election — it's about winning an era."
PETE BUTTIGIEG
*
At just
37, he is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He is a military veteran and a
deeply religious gay man who is married but also enjoys sandwiches from
(anti-same-sex marriage) Chick-fil-A. He is a Harvard-educated Rhodes scholar
who speaks eight languages. He is the first ever millennial candidate for
president and, so far, the only Democratic hopeful to appear on the "Fox
News Sunday" show.

The fact
that he was born and bred in the American Rust Belt is possibly his biggest
asset.
"Scripture tells us to look after the
least among us, that it also counsels humility and teaches us about what's
bigger than ourselves," said Buttigieg, a devout Episcopalian. "It
points the way toward an inclusive and unselfish politics that I strive to
practice, whether I'm talking about my faith on the stump or not."
THE HO CHASING SWAMP KEEPER TRUMP v MAYOR
PETE BUTTILGIEG
Brooks said, “Just think about the interview we just saw
with Rachel Maddow and Pete Buttigieg. There’s a guy with
fundamental decency. I met him like months ago before I knew he was running for
president, I was seated next to him at a dinner, and there was just a basic
humility and deference. And you look at Donald Trump, and you
look at a man who is about ego, who is about—worships career success, financial
success. A man who I think somewhere was not loved and shelled himself off and
is incapable of receiving or giving love.” DAVID BROOKS
