Who is celebrating Biden’s victory?

During a recent church zoom meeting someone started rejoicing at the impending end of the reign of the current tenant of the White House. Just as I started to open my mouth, my wife whispered in my ear, “don’t”. That’s code for “shut up, don’t start on politics”.

It was a narrow escape, but I managed it. It did make me ponder one of life’s little mysteries, though: why do political liberals always take it for granted that every right-thinking, sane person simply must agree with them? If someone has the effrontery to disagree, it doesn’t merely take the liberal aback, it rattles the foundations of his entire universe. That’s one of the reasons I find disagreeing almost irresistible.

I wanted Trump to win. Among those who didn’t are these industrial baby killers:

Abortion giants around the world have celebrated Joe Biden’s reported Presidential victory by releasing a series of statements praising his pro-abortion position and policies.

Joe Biden was announced as the winner of the 2020 Presidential election by media outlets during the weekend. Some remaining US states continue to count their votes.

Following the announcement, global abortion giants took to social media to congratulate Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their

Planned Parenthood and NARAL have both publicly celebrated Biden’s reported win.

The Florida Planned Parenthood Alliance said: “The work is just getting started. Today, we celebrate; tomorrow, we get to work.”

Planned Parenthood kills an average of 345,672 unborn children every year by abortion.

Alexis McGill Johnson, President of Planned Parenthood Action said: “Voters’ voices were loud and clear, and they elected a new President, who is fully committed to protecting access to sexual and reproductive health care — including access to abortion…

“Throughout her career, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has been a steadfast champion for reproductive rights and health care. With the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, America will be in the hands of leaders who are deeply committed to advancing and expanding reproductive rights.”

Marie Stopes International (MSI) and Marie Stopes UK, which is one of Britain’s largest abortion providers, also weighed in on the election results.

In an online statement Marie Stopes, which kills an average of 4 million unborn children globally each year, congratulated Biden and Harris for their dedication to “choice” and urged for the repeal of Donald Trump’s pro-life policies.

The abortion giant said: “We look forward to the United States restoring their position as a world leader in championing choice and reproductive rights.

“The new administration will have a lot on its plate, but a quick win would be the repeal of Trump’s Global Gag Rule… Without Trump’s Global Gag Rule.”

Taking a knee

When I first heard of taking a knee, I thought to myself: “whose knee? Take it where?”

And I was reminded of Spike Milligan’s version of, “I left my heart in San Francisco”:

I left my heart in San Francisco,
I left my knees in old Peru.
I left my little wooden leg
Hanging on a metal peg,
And my eyeballs I gave to you.
I left my teeth on Table Mountain,
High on a hill they smile at me.
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
There won’t be much left of me.

I don’t know why the saying irritates me so profoundly, but it does. Why can’t people say, “I knelt”? Is it because “I knelt” evokes echoes of Christianity which today, as everyone knows, is a thinly disguised euphemism for white colonialism?

Like or not, though, those who take their knees are performing an act of religious obeisance to a god: the god of conspicuous righteousness in this case.

Here we have some police men and women who have taken their knees, not to old Peru, but downtown Toronto to show everyone that social distancing isn’t as important as they claimed when they handed out tickets to people getting together for reasons other than demonstrating on behalf of black lives matter.

It’s a lovely image: heads bowed in reverence, cameras clicking, fists raised, CBC microphone at the ready, poised to capture any whispered pieties.

Canada legalises recreational marijuana use

Having spend the last 50 years trying to convince people to stop smoking tobacco because it is bad for them, the government of Canada has legalised cannabis even though smoking it is probably worse.

Our prime minister, who must by now have realised that a drug-stupefied population is his only hope for re-election, tweeted this:

Criminals will still reap the profits; the only difference is they are sitting in the House of Commons.

Children will undoubtedly find it easy to obtain legal marijuana – from their older friends, from their parents. From the back garden.

As Western civilisation aborts, euthanises and dopes itself into extinction, cheered on by mainline churches, I fear there will be no reprieve, no swinging back of the pendulum, no regret or repentance, no Christendom redux.

We have one remaining hope: not marijuana, Maranatha.

Justin Trudeau does Robin Hood imitation

From here:

Justin Trudeau is gambling that he can get away with a tax hike on wealthy Canadians to fund a middle-class tax cut for those who get “an ever-shrinking piece of the pie.”

The Liberal leader, long criticized for speaking in generalities, revealed the core theme of his election platform — Fairness for the Middle Class — at a folksy event in an Aylmer, Que., diner on Monday.

Specifically, he committed to a $670 tax cut for every Canadian who earns $44,701 or more — a pledge that will cost $3 billion.

It will be paid for by creating a new tax bracket of 33% for those who earn more than $200,000, he said. The Liberals project this change will bring in $3 billion, making the move revenue neutral to the federal government.

How is this really all is going to work, you might wonder. Like this:

What’s in a name?

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

Sometimes a name is so apposite it’s hard not to think that there really is something in it. Yesterday, Mohammed Badie, Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood was arrested.

From here:

The Brotherhood’s spiritual guide, Mohammed Badie, was arrested in an apartment in the Cairo district of Nasr City, close to the site of a sit-in encampment [a better euphemism would be holiday torture resort] that was forcibly cleared by security forces last week, triggering violence that killed hundreds of people.

Badie’s arrest is the latest move in an escalating crackdown by authorities on the Brotherhood, which has seen hundreds of its members taken into custody.

Smoke forces reporters out of White House

From here:

Reporters and photographers were evacuated from the West Wing of the White House early Saturday because of smoke from a faulty piece of equipment.

Reporters would not normally flee at the sight of smoke emanating from the White House, but this was different: the smoke was not accompanied by mirrors.
