The Morning Report — 4/1/24

Good morning, kids. You'd think the stories over this weekend were just one big April Fool's joke, and if you are of a certain age and more crucially of a certain mindset – that is, sane – the headlines would certainly come across that way. But, they're not. And not just from this past weekend but really they've become more and more insane going back years.

This past weekend was the holiest on the Christian calendar. Easter. And yet the leadership of this nation, it's figurehead being a senescent near-vegetable and criminal pervert, proved for all to see that there is indeed a war on Christianity and Judaism, and those who adhere to those twin pillars of real civilizational development. Or at the very least, those who reject the undeniable insanity of those who view themselves as gods and the absolute moral authority over this nation.

Example number one: Easter Sunday being transmogrified from the traditional recognition of the meaning of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection into something that would be as enraging to Jesus as that of the moneychangers in the Temple 2,000 years ago.

If you thought March 31 was Easter Sunday, think again, heretic. And no, I’m not referring to the fact that for, Orthodox Christians, Easter falls this year on May 5. Those who celebrate Easter on March 31 are heretics from the standpoint of the Biden regime’s favored religion, which is worlds away from Old Joe’s ostentatious and hollow Roman Catholicism. March 31, you see, is the Transgender Day of Visibility.

. . . And speaking of invisibility, that’s a good description of Old Joe Biden’s Christianity, except when he hauls it out in pursuit of votes. “Each year on March 31,” GLAAD asserts, “the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people.” Well, no. “The world” doesn’t celebrate the Transgender Day of Visibility. The government and a small minority of the people of the United States and some Western European countries do, and Canada tags along as always, and that’s about it. In many areas of the world, the idea of celebrating this particular mental illness would be greeted with amusement and disgust. . .

. . . it is also virtually certain that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ will continue to be celebrated many, many years after the Transgender Day of Visibility has been relegated to the dustbin of history and is generally regarded as what it really is: a symptom of the twenty-first century West’s cultural, spiritual and moral decline.

In the meantime, the fact that the Transgender Day of Visibility falls on Easter Sunday, and is the subject of a presidential proclamation while Easter remains unmentioned, is yet another indication of the real religion of Old Joe Biden and those around him. Although Biden and some others are professing Christians, they actually bow down and worship the gods of this age: libertinism, self-indulgence, and raw power.

Upon nailing his 95-year-old feces to the door of the church, the backlash against Biden's apostasy was immediate, forcing whoever is changing his Depends and loading his teleprompter to issue a more or less traditional Good Friday greeting, albeit two days late.

No apologies or backtracking on this insult, though.

In yet another casual insult to the vast majority of Americans, the Biden White House has banned all religious imagery and themes in its annual Easter art contest. Apparently, they are still calling Easter, Easter, but this move is just outrageous. Obviously, they are saying “religious,” but they mean Christian.

The Biden [junta] banned children from submitting Easter eggs with religious themes for its 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art contest.

The competition, which is part of the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll, explicitly stipulated that egg designs not feature any “religious symbols” on the Christian holiday.

“The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes,” a flyer with instructions from the White House stated.

. . . . Other restrictions include depictions promoting “bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual based on race, gender, religion, nationality disability, sexual orientation or age,” the White House stated. Child participants were also told not to depict “illegal drugs or firearms” or to include “material that is inappropriate, indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous or libelous.”

Scenes from the popular Democrat kiddie porn library are probably fine, though.

Or how about this wonderful book in your toddler's school library?

"This is My Vulva." Made me think of the song I learned at that age nearly 60 years ago, "This is My Country." That and the scene from Full Metal Jacket with the men parading around the barracks in their skivvies chanting "This is my rifle, this is my gun." You may substitute the words as you wish.

So, no imagery of Jesus or Christianity on its holiest day. Why even have this event in the first place? The answer is simple: a display of raw power.

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes,” Mark Twain observed. Joe Biden's rebranding of Easter Sunday as the Transgender Day of Visibility can be understood as part of a long line of efforts to replace a religious observance with state-sponsored ersatz. These ersatz systems could take the form of state-sponsored atheism, state-mandated religion or even a completely invented replacement cult, like the French Revolution's Cult of Reason. What explains this secular obsession with religion? Henry Kissinger pointed out that the two most powerful forces in history are the Conqueror and the Prophet. . .

. . . Conquerors and Prophets are among the two most powerful forces in history. The principle difference between the two is the time scale of their message. Conquerors live the lifespan of empires while Prophets exist on the scale of civilizations.Two thousand years later the Conqueror still fears the empty tomb.

They fear it, hence their desperate need to destroy it, and failing that, transform it into an image that reflects their wants and desires. "Trans" being quite appropriate here. I have no quarrel with homosexuals or transexuals. My thoughts on their "condition," shall we say, aside, my objection is their lifestyle being used as a weapon to upend and destroy the established order of society and human development, which has brought us down from the trees, out of the darkness and to a summit of achievement, again the main pillar and driver being the precepts of Judeo-Christianity.

History moves in fits and starts. Humanity is of course far from perfect, because of human nature itself. Yet despite the false narratives and smears, it's not Jews and Christians hurling gays and trannies off of rooftops or stoning them to death. Tolerance does not mean acceptance, but let's put things in perspective. Of course, we cannot do that because that would expose the hypocrisy and outright lies of those who seek our destruction and subjugation via moral rot and decay, the promotion of homosexuality and transexuals being a part of that. The tell is that it's no longer about forcing us to "accept" them and their lifestyles as normal. It's about persecuting those with traditional views of family and sexuality as evil. Where's the tolerance let alone the acceptance there?

Focusing just on transsexualism alone, it's a psychosis that is conveniently being glommed onto as both a weapon to physically and mentally destroy children, as well as to create a whole group of new "victims" with which to accuse us of persecuting.

“Jesus centered the marginalized. he sent it the poor and in a moment like this, we need voices, particularly voices of faith, who would use our faith, not as a weapon to beat other people down, but as a bridge to bring all of us together. That is what Martin Luther King Junior said. I’m honored to preach from that pulpit every single day.”

That was Raphael Warlock, er, Warnock, an alleged senator from Georgia who pimps himself as a man of the cloth despite being a confirmed wife/girlfriend/concubine beater as well as a slumlord. He does wear the skin suit of righteousness well, despite the stench and trail of flesh-engorged maggots trailing behind him.

Meanwhile, on the heels of debasing Christianity on its holiest day, the occupants of the White House had this to say about where they were taking whatever the hell is left of our nation. And it is indeed hell.

[So-called quote-unquote "president"] Joe Biden on Monday reiterated his commitment to increasing the diversity of the United States Supreme Court.

"If given the opportunity to nominate another justice to our nation's highest court, or if I change my mind about expanding the court, my next nominee will be the first illegal immigrant ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court," Biden told reporters outside the White House, in a rare back-and-forth with the media. "Sorry. I meant to say undocumented. The next Supreme Court justice on my watch will be an undocumented immigrant of color. Oops."

. . . "Undocumented representation on the Supreme Court is long overdue," said Cordelia Campos-Patterson, assistant professor of Latinx studies at Yale University. "How can we call ourselves a nation of laws when millions of non-citizens are denied the opportunity to assess the constitutionality of those laws?"

Because, Cordelia, non-citizens are exactly that. They're NOT CITIZENS and as such have zero right to have any voice in what is and what is not Constitutional in a country where, yet again, they are not citizens.

Senior White House adviser Ian Sams defended Biden's pledge, noting that the U.S. Constitution does not specify whether an individual must be a natural-born citizen to serve on the Supreme Court. "If an Uncle Tom like Clarence Thomas can sit on the court promoting white supremacy for more than three decades, I think it's only fair to let an undocumented immigrant have a turn," he said.

Editor's Note: Today is April 1, 2024.

Note to Ian Sams. You are an insect, nay a paramecium, compared to Justice Thomas, intellectually, morally and in every way shape and form possible as a human being. Speaking of having a turn, your mother's like a doorknob; everyone gets one.

The Free Beacon's editors are right to note the date. But this is no April Fool's joke.

UPDATE: The above article is noted by the Free Beacon as "SATIRE." My mistake for taking it seriously, and I apologize. And yet, given everything going on, this kind of satire is probably closer to being accurate than a joke.

Sheesh.
