					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;“…man of faith….”

Well, it’s not wrong.
Joe Biden firmly believes that he will NEVER, EVER be prosecuted for his rather extraordinary career of audacious corruption.
Not only that, but he’s absolutely certain that the corrupt media will not mention it. Not a syllable.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Well given all the stuff he&#039;s gotten away with over the years I can&#039;t see why he&#039;d think anything else than nothing he does will ever be held against him. (Claiming he stopped ebola, his wife died in a crime, his son gave his life in service of the country. When nobody holds you accountable why wouldn&#039;t you think that?)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Propaganda from Biden. He knows he has no control and cannot force any action by Congress, and that his own party does not fully support him. So he says this to be on record as trying to do something which will, hopefully, win back voters and votes.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ PA Cat &#062; &quot;‘Everyone is welcome,’ the priest said. ‘He’s a man of faith, and I would give Communion to him like any other Catholic coming up for the Eucharist.&#039;”

https://notthebee.com/article/nancy-pelosi-just-took-communion-in-the-vatican-even-though-her-local-archbishop-has-denied-her-the-sacrament
&lt;blockquote&gt;Pelosi&#039;s partaking of the sacrament inside the Vatican during a papal Mass was even more significant, and a sign of Francis&#039; unwillingness to refuse the sacrament. Francis has described the Eucharist as &quot;not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.&quot;

Asked about some U.S. bishops who wanted to refuse Biden the sacrament, Francis told reporters during an airborne press conference in September that priests shouldn&#039;t be politicians and condemn their flock but should be pastors who accompany the faithful with tenderness and compassion.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m waiting to see if Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco will make any comments.
Having been so publicly rebuked by the Pope, he should resign.

(If that&#039;s not faith, what is?)

No doubt that would mean that Hunter, too, is a &quot;man of faith&quot; (at least as far as proscecution is concerned). 
I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if Hunter&#039;s faith is even STRONGER, assuming that&#039;s possible, than that of Dear Old Dad....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The bill that people seem to be talking about is this one: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4132

However, we won&#039;t know until the Senate actually debates it and votes.

S4132 appears to remove restrictions to abortion BEFORE viability (Section 3 (a)(8)), but nothing about removing restrictions AFTER viability -- except to preserve the patient&#039;s life or health (Section 3 (a)(9)). However, the word &quot;health&quot; has been used in the past as an excuse to allow abortion for any reason.

What is terrible about this bill is that the federal government assumes the right to nullify state laws (Section 4 (a)(1)):

&lt;blockquote&gt;Except as stated under subsection (b), this Act supersedes and applies to the law of the Federal Government and each State government, and the implementation of such law, whether statutory, common law, or otherwise, and whether adopted before or after the date of enactment of this Act, and neither the Federal Government nor any State government shall administer, implement, or enforce any law, rule, regulation, standard, or other provision having the force and effect of law that conflicts with any provision of this Act, notwithstanding any other provision of Federal law, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Since abortion is not an individual right, this appears to be in conflict with the Constitution as the federal government cannot use the 14th amendment to have authority over the states (per the 9th and 10th amendments).]]></description>
