A Hard Rain Is Going To Fall

From Tom Piatak at American Remnant:

So Barack Obama has emerged to condemn the President and, by implication, those who voted for him, to great media acclaim.

Obama is not just another self-professed servant of the people who grew to be phenomenally rich in politics. Or a supposed victim of racism who would today be a little known law professor somewhere if it were not for both blacks and whites voting for him for strictly racial reasons, the former out of racial pride and the latter seeking an elusive absolution for a deep sense of racial guilt that was not sated by Obama’s election and reelection and will not be sated by the current paroxysms of the BLM phenomenon.

Nor is he simply another hypocrite who simultaneously builds a career around race while doing all he can to avoid exposing himself and his family to the black proletariat by living in Martha’s Vineyard and a multimillion dollar mansion in DC and by sending his children to expensive private schools and not the public schools he recommends for the rest of us.

Obama is all those things. But he is also the embodiment of the elite class that never accepted the election of 2016, that hates those who had the temerity to reject that class in the voting booth that year, and that wants to take revenge on the voters who rejected it and make any future rejection impossible.

God vs Biden. Biden continues to fight for abortion, even as his mind fails. May God save us from such leaders. Joseph Biden, the angels watch and so does Christ. From Edward Peters at The Hill:

Canon 916 requires a believer not to approach for holy communion with a guilty conscience (a norm that, when observed correctly, prevents most problems in this area). Canon 915 positively requires ministers of holy communion, especially pastors, to withhold the sacrament from Catholics "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin.” Public support for abortion, its preservation in law, and/or its public funding, are sinful acts under Catholic moral analysis. Thus, even if Biden is not the most egregious offender among Catholic politicians regarding abortion (a case that can be made), such a defense favors him only in comparison with fanatics such as Nancy Pelosi.

While there are relatively few examples of pastors withholding holy communion from Catholic politicians who support abortion, the refusal that Biden experienced should not have come as a surprise. He had been warned about approaching for holy communion in 2008 by Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton, who told Biden that, because of his support for abortion, he would be refused holy communion if he approached that prelate, and by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput (then of Denver, now of Philadelphia), who implied likewise.

Furthermore, lest the enormity of abortion under Catholic moral analysis result in the impression that only a politician's support for abortion falls within canon law's notion of actionable "grave sin," note that many things can qualify as "grave sin" and that, in Biden's case, other misdeeds could figure in a decision to withhold the sacrament. For example, in 2016 Biden capped many years of public support for same-sex marriage by officiating at such a ceremony between White House staffers while vice president, an act perceived as a deliberate thumb in the eye of the church for teaching that marriage can exist only between a man and a woman. Biden thus compounded his open conflicts with church teachings.

Two groups will chastise the pastor: The secular Left that objects to any suggestion that its own should be liable to faith-based correction, and activist Catholics interested in breaking down barriers to sacramental sharing based on one's acceptance, or rejection, of church teaching. However one might respond to the first group, the second warrants a word here. (Read more.)

The hierarchy of the RC Church have done nothing but cause shame by ignoring the 'elephant' in the room for the past 20 years or more. They prefer hob=nobbing with celebrity and being invited into the homes of the rich.

It doesn't surprise me that Obama has criticized Trump. He has never accepted that Trump was elected president by the people. He is not like Bush.
