‘Good’ Catholic Biden declares open war on Easter and the Bible
Tomorrow is Christianity’s holiest day, for it commemorates Jesus’s resurrection three days after he was taken off the cross. A man like Joe Biden, whom we’ve been assured is the most Catholic of all Catholics, should surely be honoring this day with reverence. Well, he’s not. He’s issued a proclamation celebrating 2024’s “Transgender Day of Visibility,” which, not coincidentally, falls on Easter, while his White House has warned families participating in the White House Easter Egg art contest to keep all religious symbolism off White House grounds.
The proclamation about Transgender Day went out yesterday. It spends paragraphs celebrating the wonder and courage of mentally ill and/or brainwashed people who deny reality. It wraps up by stating,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.
It’s not a coincidence that 2024’s Transgender Day of Visibility falls on Easter. As Logan Lancing and James Lindsay explain in their must-read The Queering of the American Child: How a New School Religious Cult Poisons the Minds and Bodies of Normal Kids, Marxism is not an economic theory; it’s a religious cult, and Christianity is one of the things that stands in its way.
At its most simple level, Marx’s theory posits that people’s inner divinity lies in their inherent creativity. There is no God; we’re all gods. However, everything in Western society—its history, institutions, and norms—operates to quash that divinity.
Image: The Resurrection by Perugino (Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci), late 15th-early 16th century. The Met; public domain.
Originally, Marx simply attacked capitalism, believing that the ownership class, by forcing people to work for it, sucked out the worker’s creativity, destroying their divinity. He reasoned that, if people no longer worked for each other but with each other, they’d be able to ascend to their true god-like status. (Yes, the theory is that stupid and, when it comes to human nature, naïve.)
When the affluent West rejected this cultic economic gobbledygook, Marx’s ideological heirs devised a new theory: The answer to releasing inner divinity wasn’t getting rid of capitalism (although they’d like to) but getting rid of norms. And the normiest norms in the West are reality and Christianity. If you can undermine both, they say, people will be liberated.
That’s at a societal level. At the individual level, our body is the ultimate norm. It is the one thing we know with certainty. This knowledge continues when it comes to whether we’re of the sex that plants the seed or grows the baby. That’s the ultimate male-female binary. It’s both a biological norm and, thanks to Genesis, it’s the Judeo-Christian norm of the West. God didn’t create Adam, Eve, and It. Just Adam and Eve, “male and female, He created them.”
So, what better thing to do to smash the gender binary than to take the holiest day on the Christian calendar and turn it into the complete denial of the foundations of the Bible itself?
But Biden isn’t content with mere symbolism. When it comes to Easter, this central Christian holiday, Biden wants to make sure that the White House celebration is unsullied by…Christianity. Thus, in the White House announcement for the art contest, the instructions are clear. No actual Easter iconography is allowed (emphasis added):
Restrictions:
The Submission must not contain material that violates or infringes any rights of any other party, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or any other intellectual property rights;

Do you know what Easter is without Christian iconography? It’s not Easter. I mean, as someone Jewish, I love that America has created a non-religious gloss on Christmas and Easter. Christmas lights and music, the abundance of delicate spring colors on Easter décor, along with the pretty chicks and bunnies, and, for both holidays, all the chocolate…what’s not to love?
But I never lose track of the fact that these sanitized, ecumenical holidays exist above a religious foundation. Apparently, though, that most Catholic of Catholic American presidents has forgotten that…or Biden agrees with Marx that the pathway to a utopia filled with human divinities is paved with the abandoned norms of the most prosperous, stable, accomplished culture in human history.
(Now let’s see which norms he smashes for Ramadan…)
JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a 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.

Florida GOP Blasts Biden for Declaring Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’
Republican Party of Florida chairman Evan Power blasted President Joe Biden on Saturday for declaring March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
“There appears to be no limit to what the Biden administration will do to try and shove their radical agenda down the throats of the American people,” Power said in a statement released on Saturday.
“As Christians gather tomorrow to celebrate Easter Sunday, one of the most holy days of the Christian calendar, President Biden thinks that it is appropriate to issue a proclamation designating Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day of Visibility,'” he continued, pointing out that this “comes the same day that it is reported for the first time that Christian symbolism was not allowed in the White House Easter Egg contest.”
“President Biden should issue a retraction and an apology to the American people, and Nikki Fried along with all Florida Democrats should demand the same,” he added.
Indeed, Biden officially declared Easter Sunday the “Transgender Day of Visibility.” In the proclamation, he demonized those who defend children from transgender ideology as “extremists.”
Biden’s proclamation continues:
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year.
…
At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.
Many across the board expressed both shock and disgust.
“The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said.
“Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day”—is outrageous and abhorrent. This is why the American people are taking note,” he added:
“Biden is banning religious symbols from Easter celebrations at the White House, while flying the trans flag and declaring Easter Sunday to be ‘Trans Visibility Day,'” Donald Trump Jr. said.
“This is the left’s new religion. They want people worshiping the trans flag instead of God. They must be stopped,” he added:
“Joe Biden declares that Easter Sunday is transgender visibility day while he bans Christian symbols from the White House Easter egg roll,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said.
“Disgraceful. Easter will forever be the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection,” she added as others expressed similar reactions:
This coincides with the Biden White House banning religious-themed art from this year’s Easter egg art contest, barring “any questionable content,” which apparently includes “religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.”
White House Prohibits Children from Submitting ‘Overtly Religious’ Art for Easter Egg Roll
President Joe Biden’s Democrat administration is taking flak for prohibiting children from submitting Easter eggs featuring religious artwork for a contest.
The event, which is part of the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll, is called “Celebrating National Guard Families” but will not allow submissions to feature symbols related to the holiday that Christians celebrate all over the world, the Daily Caller reported Friday.
The 2024 “Call for Youth Art” flyer said:
On behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, The Adjutants General of the National Guard are asking youth from National Guard families across the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme “Celebrating our Military Families”. Children should depict on an egg template (see Art Submission form) a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc.
Under its restrictions list, the flyer noted, “The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.”
Social media users shared their thoughts on the Daily Caller’s story regarding the ban, one person writing, “A snapshot of your life excluding part of your life.”
“They’ll ban religion all together as soon as they think they can get away with it,” someone else said, while another person commented, “What does the Biden White House think Easter is all about? The Easter Bunny?”
UPI reported Thursday that the White House is bringing back its “EGGucation” theme for the Easter Egg Roll.
“First lady Jill Biden, a longtime educator, will lead the festivities, which will include a reading nook, picture area, farm field trip, STEAM school and snack area. The Easter Egg Roll is a White House event that dates back to 1878,” the outlet said.
Meanwhile, inflation and supply chain issues in Biden’s America are making the price of the eggs themselves (along with chocolate) rise, Breitbart News noted Friday.
