“A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.” Adlai Stevenson

Lunchbox Joe. They call him that because he’s a man of the people. A man who walks with common folk.
And yet Joe’s been taking it in the neck for years, poor fella’.
People look at him and think he’s wrong on so many levels. Why?
His support of anyone who hates America comes to mind.
But mostly because his Plan for America is the same one the Romans used just before their prosperous civilization cashed in its chips.
Yet there is one person who finds no fault with Joe. Pope Francis.
Even though Joe is all-in when it comes to abortion, at whatever stage abortion can take place, Pope Francis’ Catholic Church finds nothing wrong with that.
“I’m a devout, practicing Catholic. On my word as a Biden,” Joe says. And the Pope agrees, then grants him an audience at the Vatican.
When asked in a Univision broadcast whether to allow politicians who promote legal abortion to receive Holy Communion, the Pontiff said, “Let him talk to his pastor about that,” leaving heavy thoughts in mind about the Pope’s socialist bent.
This is interesting, but confusing. And historically flawed. Especially for the married women of yesteryear who gave birth to multiple children, because they were good Catholics.
And adhered to Church precepts.
But adhering to laws of any type aren’t in Joe’s wheel house.
It might be that Joe is a religious guy, but is just exercising his “God Complex,” the one he inherited from Obama.
With Joe, it’s Joe’s Prodigal Son Concept.
In the Bible, a son’s life of wastefulness and reckless indulgence isn’t seen as a flaw, but rather as worthy of forgiveness.
Which is good in the Bible, but not so much in a court of law.
Reckless. Indulgent. These are the exact kind of people Joe defends.
Under his leadership, incompetence, corruption, brutal physical assaults, car jackings, redistribution of wealth, and seizure of private property by squatting have become commonplace.
And forgivable.
Joe’s prosecutors and judges forgive and forget these people their transgressions. But the forgiveness is only for some.
Today, former Trump Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to more jail time, after previously spending three months in jail last year.
The original charges were for company perks Weisselberg didn’t declare, such as using a company car.
This time around it was for perjury in Trump’s fraud trial, about misstating the square footage of Trump’s New York triplex.
The 76-year-old Weisselberg was led from the courtroom to Riker’s, in handcuffs.
In the meanwhile, Hunter Biden’s modern Prodigal Son behavior goes unpunished.
The FBI is unable to discover who left heroin in the White House.
Or, to this day, find who leaked Supreme Court confidential papers.
Dealing with grifters, tramps and thieves are just another day in the week for the Biden administration. It’s all about forgiveness.
But only to the right people.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
