WHAT'S UP WITH THE ABORTIONIST JOE BIDEN? AMERICA'S No. 1 SOCIOPATH LAWYER??? - Devout Catholic' Joe not taking New York Cardinal Dolan's phone calls -report

PROFILE OF A SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYER:

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Devout Catholic' Joe not taking New York Cardinal Dolan's phone calls -report

For devout Catholics, getting a phone call from a cardinal, a prince of the Church, a man who leads vast flocks of the faithful and is one of the few guys who votes to choose the next pope, is kind of an ... honor.

But not so much for "devout Catholics," such as Joe Biden, who's literally not taking Archbishop of New York Timothy Cardinal Dolan's phone calls.

According to the New York Post:

The Archbishop of New York, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, told The Post he has reached out to POTUS about the “tragic, broken” migrant system — to no avail.

“He doesn’t take my calls or answer my letters,” he said.

New York just can’t handle them all, we know that,” the cardinal added. “It’s very unfair. This is a New York problem, but it’s not just a New York problem. It is an American problem.”

Seems the cardinal hasn't had the sense to go through Hunter Biden and pay the "consulting fees" which is what it takes to get The Big Guy on the phone. Recall all the grifters and oligarchs Hunter got Joe Biden to come to the phone for from the Hunter Biden laptop files and the contrast of Biden ignoring the cardinal of New York is interesting.

Dolan, of course, was seeking help from the White House to help New York with its vast migrant influx. Biden has already ignored New York's mayor, Eric Adams, who has loudly called for such aid, and got a visit from a couple of low-level flunkies for his trouble, but little actual help, and now not even a cardinal can't get so much as a call or letter through to the White House, either.

The cardinal's aims seemed to be pretty honorable. He said he was responding to Adams's request to seek federal help for the huge crush of migrants who are bankrupting New York City, based on Joe's open borders which are taking in all comers under catch-and-release. The cardinal's archdiocese is doing what it can to help the migrants, but obviously, they don't have a bottomless pit of money for that any more than Adams does, so that was why there was a plea for help.

Dolan has kept a temperate and politically neutral stance on this, narrowly focusing on the Church's mission to care for the indigent, while reasserting to the Post the "just law" of nations having borders:

Dolan feels the current system is “terribly wrecked” and needs “dramatic immigration reform.”
 
“The church has always been very supportive of the right of a nation to have borders and border security . . . we don’t just want borders where anybody can come in,” said Dolan, who is known to visit the migrants housed at the Roosevelt Hotel.
 
However, he and the church still have a “high obligation” to care for the newcomers.

“For us, it’s not so much about politics and policy . . . we have to leave that to others,” he said. “Our sacred responsibility is to help them. We hate to see these people suffer.”

Which is a far less offensive and inflammatory stance than that of Pope Francis, who this weekend told France and other western states that there was "no migrant emergency," it was all "alarmist propaganda," and nations must accept every economic migrant the smuggling rackets could ferry in as a "reality," and ignore the costs, monetary and civilizational, of caring for vast numbers of migrants since apparently there's no such thing as living with "dignity' in countries such as Tunisia, Senegal, or Mali. Following that absurd message, his armed guards took him back to his walled compound at the Vatican where there wouldn't be any "smell of the sheep" to bother him.
 
Biden, though, won't even give the cardinal the time of day. If the cardinal has problems caring for migrants, that's his problem, the White House intends to keep the border open.
 
Which in light of Joe's loud proclamations of how Catholic and "devout" he is, waving his rosary beads for political advantage, shows just how crummy and false his claims actually are. Dolan has supported Biden, in declaring that he wouldn't deny abortion-promoting Biden holy communion back in 2019, and supporting the questionable Democrat "narrative" about January 6, including criticism for President Trump. For his trouble, was rewarded with a Biden lawsuit over regulations forcing Catholic hospitals to perform gender "re-assignment" surgeries against their beliefs. Now on the migrant issue, he's persona non grata, a man who can't even get his phone calls through to Biden's idle and vacation-filled White House.
 
Dolan doesn't seem to like wading into public controversy, but obviously, Biden considers him a political threat or problem ... or non-entity.
 
But as campaign season heats up, look for Joe to proclaim his devout Catholic-ness, even as he snubs actual Catholics right up to their princes of the Church.

DHS’s New ‘Intel Experts Group’ to Provide ‘Actionable’ Info on Those With ‘Extremist Ideologies’ – Like Catholics?

A new “Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group” – including signees to the debunked Hunter Biden laptop “Russian disinformation” letter – has been created to provide the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with information it can use to target its envisioned “threat landscape” of Americans.

The new group’s members will cast a wide net, infiltrating even campuses and tribal groups, in search of “actionable intelligence,” DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas said Tuesday, in a press release announcing creation of the new spy network:

“The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect, generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners.”

The group of “experts” will target perceived “violent extremist ideologies” and “domestic violent extremists,” the release notes.

The Biden Administration already considers traditional Catholics – such as those who attend the Latin Mass – to be terrorist threats, based on their ideology, Fox News reported back in February:

Friday’s letter comes after an internal memo produced by the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, Field Office on Jan. 23, 2023, was leaked. That memo, according to the AGs [Attorneys General], "identifies 'radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]’ as potential ‘racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.’"

“The FBI’s Richmond Division would like to protect Virginians from the threat of ‘white supremacy,’ which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass,” Former FBI Special Agent and Whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed in a DC Undercover expose’ – noting that the FBI wanted to recruit people to spy on the Catholic Church:

“An intelligence analyst within the Richmond Field Office of the FBI released in a new finished intelligence product dated January 23, 2023, on Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in ‘Radical-Traditionalist Catholics’ or RTCs. The document assesses with ‘high confidence’ the FBI can mitigate the threat of Radical-Traditionalist Catholics by recruiting sources within the Catholic Church.”

The memo prompted an investigation by members of the House Judiciary Committee and the subcommittee probing the weaponization of government:

“The internal documents — obtained last month by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., who are also members of the so-called Weaponization Subcommittee — showed the FBI planned to use churches as ‘new avenues for tripwire and source development.’ The federal law enforcement agency also aimed to specifically target "mainline Catholic parishes" as part of its efforts.”

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland feigned outrage in an effort to avoid answering when asked about the FBI memo by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ). Asked “Do you agree that Traditional Catholics are violent extremists, yes or no?” a hostile Garland repeatedly refused to answer, before finally saying “No.”

While DHS claims the Intel Experts Group will provide “a wide range of views and perspectives,” analysis of its composition suggests otherwise.

“Included in this group of ‘experts’ are three former officials who signed onto the October 2020 letter calling the Hunter Biden laptop ‘Russian disinformation,’” The Post Millennial explains:

“CNN National Security Analyst and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Senior Fellow and of the Intelligence Project and former CIA Operations Officer Paul Kolbe, and Fordham University School of Law Distinguished Fellow and former CIA Director John Brennan were all named to the ‘Experts Group.’”

The members of the spy network “should set off alarm bells,” Townhall Editor Katie Pavlich warned Tuesday:

“Given the weaponization of government by the Biden administration against domestic political opponents, the language being used and the scope of the group's work is highly alarming.”

...

“Clapper lied under oath during congressional testimony about the federal government spying on American citizens. Brennan called Trump a traitor, implying he should be put to death.”

“DHS has 260,000 employees and yet, Mayorkas just appointed liars James Clapper and John Brennan to a new ‘Homeland Security Intelligence Experts Group,’“ Pavich says in a pinned post on social media.

“This is horrifying,” Hot Air’s Karen Townsend wrote Wednesday, echoing Pavich’s concern and outrage about the appointments of Clapper and Brennan:

“Just when we thought these lying liars were out of government service – at any level – and were put out to pasture to be paid contributors on CNN and MSNBC, they come back. Mayorkas has brought them back.”

“It’s unbelievable. Both of these have been disgraced for their roles in promoting the Russia, Russia, Russia story made up and paid for by Hillary Clinton and they both signed the letter stating that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian misinformation in 2020 in order to interfere with the presidential election.”

Former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper says he has no regrets about signing the widely-publicized, discredited statement calling news of Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop “Russian disinformation”

Even though the false claims in the letter may have misled and influenced voters prior to the 2020 election, Clapper says he stands by his decision to sign it, in a statement he provided to  The New York Post:

“Yes, I stand by the statement made AT THE TIME, and would call attention to its 5th paragraph. I think sounding such a cautionary note AT THE TIME was appropriate.”

‘God’s Plan Includes Abortion’: Group Plants Pro-Abortion Billboards in Pro-Life States Along Highway to Illinois

X/Amelia Bonow
X/Amelia Bonow

A group that promotes “normalizing abortion” has lined up six billboards on Interstate 55 through pro-life states leading to Illinois, one of which falsely reads, “God’s plan includes abortion.” 

Shout Your Abortion, a far-left advocacy group, placed the billboards in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee — all states which have outlawed or limited abortions. The black and white billboards, which face travelers heading into pro-abortion Illinois, also include messages such as, “Abortion is OK. You know what’s right for you,” and “Abortion is OK. You are loved.” 

“Interstate 55 carries 10s of thousands of abortion seekers out of southern states to Illinois, where abortion is legal. I-55 is covered with horrific, shaming billboards. Shout Your Abortion put up 6 good ones, to show love & affirmation to those making the journey,” cofounder and director of Shout Your Abortion, Amelia Bonow, posted to X on September 16. 

Bonow told the the Washington Post this week that women seeking abortions traveling on I-55 are “probably already in a difficult situation to say the least,” and added that it “feels really good to think that we could have made somebody’s experience just a little bit easier.” 

A GoFundMe campaign to support the billboards has surpassed its $10,000 goal, reaching $12,291 by Sunday. 

“Due to the overwhelming response to this campaign we are going to keep the fundraising rolling in hopes of funding these billboards for another month! Please continue to spread the word and share with your community. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!” a Saturday update to the funding page reads.

The GoFundMe campaign emphasizes that “visibility is key to normalization, and one of SYA’s key initiatives is to normalize abortion.”

Shout Your Abortion was founded in 2015 “on the theory that pro-life sentiment is sustained by simple ignorance of the experiences and perspectives of women who have abortions, and that publicizing ‘positive’ abortion stories would turn the tide for ‘choice,'” LifeSite News reported.

“In fact, while it is unclear how much similar pro-abortion projects have impacted current public opinion, they have not fundamentally changed the debate because they do not address the central pro-life contention that the preborn are the party really being disregarded,” the report stated. 

This is far from the first time pro-abortion groups and politicians have promoted abortion by insisting that God condones the killing of unborn babies. 

Last September, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) reelection campaign paid to promote abortion tourism via public billboards in seven conservative states. Some of those billboards misused the words of Jesus from the New Testament of the Bible to market the Golden State as an abortion destination: “‘Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.’ – Mark 12:31.”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) once claimed that abortion is a “God-given right[s].” She made the comment during a news conference held at a church last year, in which she announced the awarding of $13.4 million in state grants to 37 New York abortion providers.

Vice President Kamala Harris has often argued that “one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs” to support abortion.

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood also has the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Clergy Advocacy Board (CAB). CAB was founded in 1994 and claims to “increase public awareness” of a supposed “theological and moral basis” for killing the unborn.

Report: Leaked Veterans Affairs Training Video Promotes Abortion, Says Pregnancy Not Exclusive to Women

A training video allegedly leaked from the Department of Veterans Affairs promotes abortion and even suggests that men can become pregnant, Fox News reported Wednesday.

The “Reproductive Health Training” video from April 2023 tells staffers how to talk to veterans who are considering aborting their babies.

“Before discussing counseling procedures, the video began with a ‘note’ on language that clarified, ‘Not all people who seek abortions identify as women.’ Another note read, ‘Person who is pregnant’ is inclusive and preferred to ‘pregnant woman,'” according to the report.

Another slide tells staffers to use certain language about abortion, like “embryo or fetus” instead of “baby or unborn child,” “veteran or person” instead of “mother,” and “embryonic or fetal cardiac activity” instead of “fetal heartbeat.”

Several videos, first obtained by the Post Millennial, show the department pitching abortion as “essential, life-saving care” that is safer than pregnancy. The video also cites dubious studies claiming women rarely feel regret for having an abortion:

The caregiver is presented with statements that, when examined, originate from the same echochamber of pro-abortion ideology, masked as academic and medically accredited sources. Care providers are instructed to stress the fact that abortion absolutely does not pose a hazard to a patient’s mental health and that the most common emotion after having an abortion is relief.

The leak comes more than a year after the department announced it would begin providing abortions for veterans and their dependents through its taxpayer-funded health care system, according to Fox News.

“This would include states where abortions are restricted or outlawed,” the report states.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) did not respond to the outlet’s request for comment.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser slammed the VA for training its staff “with radical pro-abortion ideology”:

Americans will be shocked to learn that, not only is the VA performing abortions at hospitals across the county, but they are promoting and training their staff with radical pro-abortion ideology, counseling women veterans into having abortions. Most Americans don’t want their taxpayer dollars funding abortions, especially in direct violation of the law.

Senator [Tommy] Tuberville and Rep. Michael Cloud should be applauded for exposing that the VA has opened the door to abortion on demand and for leading Congressional efforts to stop this illegal agenda. Right now, the VA is instructing its staff to completely sidestep state pro-life laws and provide abortions. We must continue to expose and stop this illegal extremism. At a time when our veterans need our greatest support, why is the VA prioritizing forced ideology over the needs of our ill, injured and wounded veterans?

Tuberville, in addition to rallying with Cloud against the VA’s abortion policy, has blocked hundreds of military appointments in response to the Pentagon’s policy providing abortions to service members.

CatholicVote President Brian Burch also slammed the VA in a statement via email for propping up a “radical pro-abortion agenda.”

“The Biden Administration’s Department of Veterans Affairs has shamelessly weaponized the U.S. military to advance a radical pro-abortion agenda that has no place infecting our defense agencies. CatholicVote has spent the past several months demanding that the VA stop holding military appointments hostage with its illegal, unconstitutional policy to fund abortion and abortion-related expenses for service members and their families while expressing concern over the agency’s increasingly overt political bias,” Burch said.

“[O]ur worst fears were confirmed by the VA’s outrageous training video that unapologetically encourages and glorifies abortion, implies pregnancy is a dangerous medical condition, and suggests that abortion is always safer than childbirth,” he continued. “The video is an insult to women everywhere, not only because it utterly denies biology in claiming men can get pregnant, but also because it adds insult to injury in claiming pregnancy is nothing to be celebrated or congratulated.”

“Such outrageous and offensive pro-abortion propaganda coming from a government agency tasked with protecting American lives is a deeply disturbing sign of the times imposed by this radical administration,” Burch concluded.

Sen. Cruz: 88 Attacks on Crisis Pregnancy Centers, But DOJ Uses ‘Entire Weight and Force of FBI’ Against Non-Violent Pro-Life Protestors


“At least 88 crisis pregnancy centers have been firebombed, vandalized, or set ablaze in the wake of the Dobbs decision.  DOJ’s response to this violence has been anemic, having only prosecuted one FACE Act case against these criminals,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department zealously targets non-violent pro-life protestors, Sen. Cruz observed in a thread posted on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter:

“However, and in stark contrast, the DOJ has brought the entire weight and force of the FBI against those who engage in non-violent protest at abortion clinics.  Yesterday, the DOJ convicted Lauren Handy and four other abortion protestors for engaging in non-violent protest.

“They now face 11 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $350,000. The DOJ has been aggressively targeting Handy since she and others blew the whistle on an abortion doctor in Washington D.C. who was engaging in illegal, late-term abortions.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland is blatantly practicing a politicized two-tiered system of justice and Cruz continued, calling for Garland’s resignation:

“When you compare how aggressively DOJ treats pro-life protestors like Lauren Handy and Mark Houck versus the hand-off approach it takes to those who vandalize churches and pregnancy centers, it’s obvious that Garland has politicized our justice system. He should resign.”

Cruz’s thread links to an article by The Daily Signal reporting that a DOJ attorney has admitted that the Justice Department is targeting pro-life activists in retaliation for a Supreme Court’s ruling against Roe v. Wade:

“The Justice Department’s Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said in December 2022 that the DOJ is targeting pro-life activists through the FACE Act as a response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Her remarks followed on the heels of Republican accusations that the DOJ is unduly targeting pro-life activists like Catholic father Mark Houck.”

In “Tracking Attacks on Pregnancy Centers & Pro-Life Groups,” last updated on August 9, 2023, Catholic Vote notes that the attacks appear to be the work of pro-abortion domestic terrorists:

“At least 88 pregnancy resource centers and pro-life groups have been attacked and vandalized since a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked in early May 2022. Pro-abortion domestic terrorists have claimed responsibility, and delivered on their promise of a ‘summer of rage’“. 


 Her (KAMALA HARRIS) more radical positions, such as support for the Obama administration’s Iran deal, prosecuting a journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s collection and sale of aborted babies’ body parts (while receiving campaign donations from them), and defending Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism, may indeed sit well with a great many leftists, but her actions as Attorney General of California may not. While in that position, Harris jailed hundreds on marijuana charges and authorized anti-prostitution sting operations which, according to SF Weekly, disproportionately targeted Latino men (a crucial Democrat demographic). In addition to this -- though she later admitted it was a mistake -- she prosecuted and jailed the parents of truant teens. She even refused to release the names of Catholic priests accused of sexually molesting children, abnegating law enforcement’s most basic and humane duty -- regardless of anyone’s opinion of the Catholic Church.

 

David Daleiden: Kamala Harris Prostituted Her Law Enforcement Powers to Planned Parenthood

David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), said Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) prostituted her powers in her former role as California’s attorney general for the benefit of Planned Parenthood in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.

Daleiden noted the partisan and political dimensions of California’s prosecution of him and his CMP colleague Sandra Merritt. Both he and Merritt were charged with 14 cases of illegal recording of confidential conversations and one count of conspiracy.

“Kamala Harris is the biggest threat to First Amendment civil liberties and First Amendment civil rights that our country has ever seen, in my opinion,” said Daleiden. “While she was the attorney General of the State of California, Kamala Harris, at the behest of her political patron — Planned Parenthood — targeted me for criminal punishment solely because of the content of the message that I was publishing and speaking at the time as you mentioned the undercover video series showing top-level Planned Parenthood officials callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of tiny aborted baby hearts and lungs and livers and brains.”

Daleiden continued, “In the State of California, when Kamala Harris was the attorney general, you could do undercover investigations of factory farming, corrupt chiropractors, [and] fraudulent air conditioning repairmen. Local TV news journalists in California [were] filming and publishing undercover video with conversations — sometimes even in private office spaces — and publishing these videos in on a daily weekly basis. Not a single one of those journalists ever had their home raided or were prosecuted by Kamala Harris’s attorney general’s office.”

LISTEN:

“But if you did the exact same kind of undercover filming and publishing, and your message was something that questioned Planned Parenthood or questioned the abortion industry — the sacred cows of Kamala Harris and the San Francisco political establishment in California — then in that case, I became the first and only person involved in news gathering, the first and only citizen journalist in the state of California to ever have the California video recording law enforced against me, criminally,” Daleiden added.

Daleiden went on, “It was launched under Kamala Harris. She targeted our message, specifically. She sent 11 California DOJ agents in April of 2016 to raid my one-bedroom apartment in Orange County with explicit instructions from Planned Parenthood to seize the means of publication, to seize the computers and the video equipment that I was using to publish the videos.”

“Kamala Harris’ deputy prosecutor, Johnette Jauron, who was in charge of the case, she admitted a few years later in 2018 in a filing in court that the reason that I alone have become the first citizen journalist in California to be prosecuted under the California video recording law — to have that law criminally enforced against me when it was enforced against against nobody else for news gathering in California — is because of the content of the videos themselves,” recalled Daleiden.

“It is blatant, unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and invidious targeting of Americans whose message Kamala Harris disagrees with. So, she is a huge threat to our First Amendment civil liberties in this country.”

Pollak said, “It almost looks as if [Harris] initiated her prosecution of you at the instigation of Planned Parenthood to please Planned Parenthood, to help this politically-connected organization, which is so important for donations in the Democratic Party and for the future of anyone in Democratic politics. She basically acted at their behest. Is that true?”

Daleiden replied, “Yes, absolutely. Like I said, undercover video recording and reporting has never been criminally prosecuted in California in the history of the state until now, until this case, where the entity whose ox is being gored was Planned Parenthood, the political patrons of Kamala Harris and so many others in the California political establishment.”

He further noted how Harris coordinated her prosecution of him and his CMP colleague with Planned Parenthood.

“Just two weeks before she ordered the raid on my home, Kamala Harris had a secret in-person meeting in Los Angeles with several top-level Planned Parenthood of California officials,” stated Daleiden. “We have the action items from that meeting in an email that was produced to us in discovering the case, and those action items show that the meeting was primarily to discuss Planned Parenthood’s political agenda in the state of California, but included within their political agenda were the issues involved in Kamala Harris’s investigation of me.”

Daleiden concluded, “[Harris] was blatantly mixing her political constituent services functions with her law enforcement powers and basically prostituting her law enforcement powers to the service of her political campaign donors. She was running for United States Senate at that exact same time in March and April in 2016. She had petitions urging political support for Planned Parenthood on her campaign website.

He recalled that Harris’s executive office assistant while she was attorney general of California — who was ‘liaising with Planned Parenthood” while “working on this investigation” — later became Harris’s campaign manager during her first run for the U.S. Senate.

“It is a blatant use and abuse of law enforcement power solely to serve private partisan political interests, and that is why she is such a dangerous candidate,” concluded Daleiden.

Kamala's Threat to American Democracy

Who, exactly, is a vice-president supposed to be?

Tue Aug 18, 2020 

Barry Nussbaum

The arrival of Joe Biden’s decision on a running mate is a true turning point in the history of American politics.

There has never before been a presidential candidate who, prior to entering the White House, has shown such undeniable signs of age-related neurological decay. All political disagreements disregarded, the sight of an elderly person succumbing to the demons of those dreaded cognitive ailments -- which all too often rob us of the older people we love -- is truly excruciating to behold.

The political outcome of Biden's mental state is, if possible, even more unsettling. The role of the president is meant to be powerful. All constitutional checks and balances considered, the sheer power of the chief executive, in that one single person invested with authority to counter-balance the power of the legislative and judicial branches, is truly awesome.

In our situation today, we see a man who is clearly not in full command of his mental faculties, who is allowing himself to be considered for that office of chief executive; an office which, unlike a prime minister in a parliamentary system, is intended to be stable and not prone to regular changes in leadership.

The expectation of a normal four-year presidential tenure on Biden’s part if he is elected must, at the very least, be subjected to serious doubt. If pronouncing basic words -- let alone quoting the most famous phrase of our Declaration of Independence -- is such a confusing  ordeal for him, then it is our urgent duty to question whether this individual is fit to be the man who must accept the ultimate responsibility for this country’s national security and well-being.

These facts squarely cast the Democrat side of the current election as not a presidential election at all, but a vice-presidential election.

Should Biden win, the chances are very probable that his vice president will become the 47th president to finish out his first four-year term. As the vice president automatically succeeds to the Oval Office if the president dies or is rendered permanently incapacitated, the profoundly anti-democratic repercussions of this situation is worsened by whom Biden has actually chosen.

The traditional custom for presidential hopefuls is to either choose the second-highest-polling candidate in a primary race, as Ronald Reagan did with George H. W. Bush in 1980, or to choose a highly capable politician who is well-respected by most of the party, as Donald Trump did with Governor Mike Pence in 2016. In both of those cases, the aforementioned running mates reflected the Republican Party and its voters quite respectably while promoting unity.

It is highly questionable, meanwhile, whether Kamala Harris -- aside from all of the establishment media’s expected giddy cheerleading -- really represents her party all that well. She was polling at 2% nationally by the time she ended her own presidential bid on December 3, 2019. Her more radical positions, such as support for the Obama administration’s Iran deal, prosecuting a journalist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s collection and sale of aborted babies’ body parts (while receiving campaign donations from them), and defending Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism, may indeed sit well with a great many leftists, but her actions as Attorney General of California may not. While in that position, Harris jailed hundreds on marijuana charges and authorized anti-prostitution sting operations which, according to SF Weekly, disproportionately targeted Latino men (a crucial Democrat demographic). In addition to this -- though she later admitted it was a mistake -- she prosecuted and jailed the parents of truant teens. She even refused to release the names of Catholic priests accused of sexually molesting children, abnegating law enforcement’s most basic and humane duty -- regardless of anyone’s opinion of the Catholic Church.

it is highly debatable if these are positions that a high number of progressives who voted for the Democrat primary runner-up, Bernie Sanders, would approve of. Especially today, being tough on minority and drug crime -- to the exclusion of “white patriarchal” clergy sex abuse -- is not en vogue among the Democratic Party’s truly energized base, which is largely college-educated millennials taught to have contempt for not only aggressive inner city policing, but inner city policing overall.

It also remains a question as to how many black American voters Kamala really represents. Without doubt, she completely failed to gain these voters' support during the primary. Many black Americans responded to Barack and Michelle Obama due to their image as people who empathized authentically with the black experience of living in inner city America. Harris’s flip-flopping on criminal justice issues has clearly deprived her of the Obama touch.

What should highly concern all Americans of whatever political persuasion is the fact that, given Joe Biden’s medical condition, a Democrat victory in 2020 could very likely result in a person for whom only 2% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning Independents supported to become president.

The reasons for Biden’s choice of Kamala Harris as his running mate are as yet not entirely clear. What is very clear, however, is that a new president of the United States in the near future could be a person whom a weak and faltering man chose by fiat, and not someone whom the majority of the country elected by the ballot.

That's a problem.

It's a problem for America -- and it's a serious and profound problem for American democracy.
