The Patriot Post® · Assaulting Truth

While American Christians were celebrating our risen Lord and American Jews were celebrating God’s mercy, the godless, neo-Marxist left that controls the Biden Administration was continuing its assault on truth and normalcy.

The first assault came in an after-action report on Joe Biden’s disastrous retreat from Afghanistan. This report, 20 months after the fiasco that killed 13 U.S. military personnel, humiliated our military and shattered our credibility around the ground, is a total whitewash.

White House spokesman John Kirby blamed Donald Trump, said the Biden Administration was “proud” of the retreat, and claimed that he saw no “chaos” on the ground in Kabul. That tells you everything you need to know.

It is just insane to say that the withdrawal was fine, but if it wasn’t, it’s all Trump’s fault!

Let’s be clear: The American people were ready to get out of Afghanistan. The failure isn’t that Biden got out of Afghanistan. The left’s failure is not just that it can’t prosecute a war to victory, but it can’t even withdraw without instigating a major disaster.

Let me remind you that Biden, supposedly the “adult in the room,” surrendered strategic assets and totally ignored the advice of his generals. He also turned over security to the Taliban, which led to the disaster at the Kabul airport.

That was the moment when Joe Biden collapsed in the polls, and he’s never recovered. Now only a third of Americans believe he deserves reelection. But that won’t stop Biden from running again.

If we’re going to stop Joe Biden’s destruction of America, we must stop him and his neo-Marxist allies at the ballot box.

Assaulting Normalcy

The second assault is related to the transgender juggernaut. It’s another leftist attack on moral spiritual strength and the natural law that is the basis of all civilization.

Late last week, the Biden Administration issued new Title IX guidelines that effectively force every school district to allow transgender athletes to compete in school sports. There is a very narrow exception for so-called “competitive sports” that would likely result in schools being forced into expensive lawsuits.

The bottom line is that no school district is going to risk crossing the radical trans ideologues who run the Department of Education, the Department of Justice and the White House at the risk of losing federal dollars that fund various programs vulnerable students rely on.

Americans overwhelmingly oppose this nonsense, but the Biden Administration is all in. Joe Biden even tried to cut off school lunch programs that feed poor children in order to force this insanity on your local school district. There’s nothing “compassionate” or “moderate” about that!

These obscene regulations must be fought. We hope state attorneys general will band together and go into federal court to fight the vagueness of these regulations and the obvious idiocy of forcing women and girls to compete against men and boys.

Spreading Fear & Violence

While we’re on the subject, the White House and leftist politicians are constantly injecting fear into the middle of this major national debate over the best way to help children struggling with serious mental health issues. The predictable result is increasing violence from the growing trans insanity.

The most obvious and tragic example was the shooting at a Christian school in Nashville. It is very suspicious that Biden’s Justice Department refuses to release the manifesto from the woman who was supposedly “transitioning” into a man — a totally bizarre and ludicrous concept.

There was disturbing news last week about the arrest of a young man in Colorado Springs. He was turned in by his own family because he was planning similar attacks on schools and churches in the community where multiple high-profile Christian ministries are headquartered.

Colorado Springs is still reeling from an attack late last year by a suspect who claims to be “non-binary.”

Meanwhile, former award-winning NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was assaulted at San Francisco State University by a man wearing a dress. She was then trapped in a room for hours as a mob pounded on the door, threatened to attack her and demanded a ransom.

As Gaines was locked in a room for her own protection from deranged transgender activists, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was attacking parents and legislators who want to protect children from irreversible, life-altering, sterilizing and mutilating surgeries.

She called state laws banning transgender surgeries on children “awful,” adding, “LGBTQI+ kids are resilient, they are fierce, they fight back, and they’re not going anywhere. We have their back.”

There you have it, friends. The Biden Administration is all in on dividing parents from their children. Parents who want to protect their children from these radical procedures are denounced as “awful, "sinful” and “cruel,” when in fact it’s the exact opposite.

It is awful, sinful and cruel for politicians, activists and doctors to push these extreme and irreversible procedures on confused children.

But as we’re still coping with the fallout from one school shooting and were thankfully spared another, perhaps Ms. Jean-Pierre might want to tone down the rhetoric about “fighting back.” Recent research finds that transgender and “gender-diverse” youth are the most susceptible to “violent radicalization.”

Everyone in the Biden Administration who keeps talking about “genocide” and urging trans youth to “fight back” is spreading fear and encouraging violence. They are intentionally playing with fire.

Assaulting Faith

The Easter and Passover weekend was a busy time for the Biden Administration. Its assaults on truth and normalcy were just two of the biggest lowlights. But they weren’t done. They also chose the holiest time of the year for Christians and Jews to unleash another assault on faith.

News also broke at the beginning of Good Friday that Walter Reed National Military Medical Center terminated the contract of a Catholic organization to offer pastoral services to veterans. Instead, the contract was awarded to a secular defense contractor, which is incapable of providing the contracted religious services to our veterans.

That’s bad enough. But the timing of this termination is a blatant slap in the face to the men and women of faith who have sacrificed so much for our First Amendment freedoms, including religious liberty.

Military Secrets Leaked

Over the past few months, numerous classified documents involving much of America’s foreign policy around the world and military intelligence in Ukraine have been leaked on social media sites. Some are suggesting this is the biggest leak of classified information since Edward Snowden.

There are reports that the leaked material may have been altered by foreign enemies. At this stage, it’s impossible to know if that’s correct or not. Regardless, it shows the total wreckage of our national security that is occurring under Biden’s watch.

The Justice Department is now investigating the leaks. That’s not very reassuring. By the way, did they ever find the leaker at the Supreme Court? Nope!

Dueling Abortion Decisions

A federal judge in Texas issued a decision late Friday blocking the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone and the Biden Administration’s pro-abortion regulations that allowed the pills to be prescribed via telehealth and sold through the mail and at local drug stores.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America praised the ruling as “a win for the health and safety of women and girls,” adding that the decision “reaffirms that pregnancy is not an illness and abortion is not health care.”

But another decision issued by a federal judge in Washington state just hours later approving the drug, effectively counteracted the Texas decision.

This is a classic showdown between two federal courts, which can result in expedited action by the Supreme Court. The Biden Administration immediately vowed to appeal the ruling out of Texas. We’ll see what happens next.

In the meantime, it is guaranteed to set off another round of debate over the political ramifications of abortion, guaranteeing that the sanctity of life will remain front-and-center in the 2024 election.
