The Water Planet
This from Richard Cronin:
We are the WATER PLANET, not the CO2 planet. Water, moving thru the water cycle, is an infinite and adjustable cooling system.
The UN Intergovernment
al
Panel on Climate Change, fellow climate schemers, carbon taxers and
"renewable energy†scammers all admit that water is the greatest heat
trapping molecule but then ignore it for any calculations or bogus
"modeling†because it is unimaginably complex in its many forms and
humidity is in constant change. Water is present as vapor, liquid,
liquid admixtures (i.e. salt water), snow ( with entrained air), ice
with gas pockets, sleet, hail, dew, fog, frost, sublimed. The liquid
state of the oceans is particularly important because the ocean waters
— with suspended solids — absorbs ALL electromagnetic
radiation within a few feet of the surface.
In the conditions of our atmosphere, water is not an emissive gas, as
is CO2. Water vapor is Condensible. Water vapor releases its heat via
phase change to rain and snow. The "modelers†only consider emissive
(non-condensibl
e) gases.
CO2 comprises 0.04 of one (1) percent in our atmosphere. It is a highly
emissive molecule. It does not "trap heatâ€. Upon heating then cooling
back down, it re-radiates infrared radiation in approx. 0.0001 of one
(1) second and in all directions. It scatters any radiation. It does
not point it back down at the ground like some kind of mirror. Any
warming properties attributed to CO2 are less than trivial. There are
no commercial applications for CO2 as an insulator ( heat trapping).
There are myriad applications for water as a "heat trapping†and heat
conducting fluid.
Climate change Alarmists claim water vapor
as a greenhouse gas but even that is a misnomer. Water vapor absorbs
long wave infrared (LWIR) but as it warms it convects upward, forms
clouds, reaches saturation and produces rain and snow, thereby
conveying the heat off the planet via Infrared emission from cloud
tops.
The criminal pseudo-scientis
ts
deliberately conflate the terms "heat trapping†with "greenhouse gasâ€.
The first term is real, for the case of water. The second term is
meaningless.
The Earth’s biome is not an enclosed system such
as a greenhouse. It is a multivariate, open, chaotic and dynamic
control system. It is impossible to model local temperatures more than
3 days in advance, much less decades into the future.
John
Tyndall’s demonstrations during the 1850s of CO2 as a "heat trappingâ€
fluid were conducted in an sealed tube which in no way reflects the
Earth’s biome. Tyndall’s sealed tube apparatus was replicated in 1900
by Knute Angstrom and totally debunked.
Water is the dominant
actor in regulating the planet within a nicely habitable range via
phase change - condensation & freezing.
Rather than an
enclosed greenhouse, the better description for water vapor in our
atmosphere is as a patchy blanket that spreads warmth along the surface
( moderating temperatures), but cold, dry air above a patchy layer of
clouds. Eventually water carries heat away from the Earth . Water vapor
only holds the heat for a short period, approx. 10 days.

Public Opinion is the Final Court
This from E. Calvin Beisner
But there is of course, as we've been told over and over, NO evidence of widespread election fraud. Believe that if you will.
Election Legitimacy Faces Biggest Trial in Court of Public Opinion
According to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll,
about three out of four GOP respondents doubted that Joe Biden won
fairly, as did a majority of independents, along with one-third of all
surveyed.
A Politico/Morning Consult pollindicated that more than half of all Georgia voters (54%) distrusted
the presidential election results. This is particularly concerning at a
time when two critically important Jan. 5 Senate runoff races in that
state will determine whether the Democratic Party will control the
entire Congress and, quite possibly, pack the U.S. Supreme Court with
additional seats.
Although even one-quarter of Democrats doubted fair election results, still another poll conducted for the Media Research Centerfound that one of six (17%) of seven swing state voters among them
wouldn’t have voted for Biden had they been aware of important
pro-Trump and anti-Biden information that had been suppressed in the
media prior to the election.
The survey of 1,750 Biden voters showed that a shift of this
magnitude would have changed the outcomes in all six of those states
that Biden won (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin), leading instead to a comfortable Donald Trump victory
margin.
Undisputed evidence of lucrative Biden family foreign influence
peddling with Ukraine, China, and Russian oligarchs revealed in a
blockbuster Oct. 14 New York Post headline feature that was ignored and
censored by public and social platforms was indeed a very big deal.

It CAN Happen Here!
Timothy Birdnow
This courtesy of Steven Schueler:
So You Think Tyranny Can't Happen Here
This is a win/win for the statists. They promote a militarization of the civilian police then said police kill innocent or at least not guilty people, which spurs movements like Black Lives Matter (which makes the incorrect assumption that it is a racial thing) which leads to calls to defund the police which leads to more actual crime which in the end leads to more police power. It's a machine for increasing the iron boot of the State.
The best way to enslave a society is to first create anarchy.
From the article:
When discussing government overreach,
which incidentally continues unimpeded, or the danger of the monopoly
of force concentrated in the hands of government in the way of law
enforcement, especially from federal police and particularly the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), I’m frequently told that if one
has done nothing wrong there is nothing to fear from government. And
when I describe my first-hand experience in Cuba, or relate events from
my studies of communism in the former USSR, China, Cambodia, Venezuela,
and the Eastern European satellite states, I’m told, "But Dr. Faria,
such cruelty and tyranny can happen in third-world countries, but it
cannot happen here. This is America.â€
I respond, "Really? Have you heard, or rather read, of the story of David Koresh and the Waco, Texas, massacreof innocents by the ATF and the FBI?†I say read, because almost all of
the victims — men, women and children, and Koresh himself — are dead at
the hands of the federal police. One only has to look at this issue a
bit more closely to ascertain the deadly implications of just such a
naive attitude.
Unfortunately, there are many more cases
that have been swept under the rug by the media through insufficient or
biased coverage. Of course, there was the well-known 1992 case of Vicky
and Samuel Weaver (her 14-year-old son) killed at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. But there were also the many incidents of lesser known Americans.
There was Carl Drega who was driven to criminal insanity and murder by government and bureaucratic injustice. There was the totally innocent John Gerald Quinn, whose home was subjected to a "no-knock†raid (once referred to as "dynamic entryâ€).
There are many lawful American gun
owners who over the years have been victimized by the errors or
excesses of the ATF or for firearm misdemeanors or technicalities.
People such as Bruce Abramski, who was prosecuted for an alleged straw purchaseand has filed a lawsuit against the state. I will not go into the war
on drugs for that is another area that needs closer inspection. Suffice
it to say, many Americans have been apprehended, shot and killed for
violating drug laws, even in the supposed safety of their own homes.
I have written about the dangerous trend toward the militarization of the police.In 2015 in a little-known case, two Idaho deputies killed Jack Yantis,
a cattle rancher who had rushed to the scene where one of his bulls had
been injured in a car crash. No matter the particulars of this
incident, it should never have happened.

Ruinous Plans to Stop - Nothing
This from Frank Lasee
Very very
expensive plan. Biden is loading his cabinet with fossil fuel
haters. The problem is the world uses 8 billion tons of coal and 36
billion barrels of oil annually to provide great lives for more regular
people than ever before. How does food go from seed to table? Almost
100% fossil fuel provided. Annoy a liberal tell them this fact.
Jim Church observes:
Truth about CO2
440 billion tons (bt) CO2 produced by all living things
2.7 bt CO2 human exhalations
7.3 bt CO2 animal exhalations
About 30 bt produced by ants/termites
39.6 bt CO2 anaerobic bacteria & fungi
CO2 is only 1 molecule in 2500 in atmosphere
Vegetable greenhouse CO2 is 1200-1500 ppm
Submarine CO2 can reach 5,000 ppm
Past levels of CO2 was 8,000 ppm
Plants die at 150-180 ppm CO2
Current CO2 levels Mona Loa, Hawaii 417 ppm (rose during worldwide lockdown!)
CO2 comprises only 0.04% of the atmosphere and of this humans cause
only 3.4% of total annual CO2 emissions and nature 96.6%. Or human CO2
contributes 0.00136% increase to the atmosphere. What magic is required
to heat the other 99.99863% and have heat left over to warm the oceans
and melt the Poles ??

McConnell: Chinese Collusion?
Timothy Birdnow
Just a thought; McConnell has been largely AWOL in the attempt to true the vote and get an accurate count (which would probably have handed Trump the election). Why?
His wife is Elaine Chou who is not only Trump's Secretary of Transportation but has
ties to Communist China.
Is it any wonder McConnell is now telling the GOP to accept defeat.
From
OANN
If Tuberville does in fact join Brooks in his efforts, he would be
in direct opposition of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. On
Tuesday during a private caucus, McConnell warned Republicans not to
fight the election results.
In addition, the Senate Majority Leader publicly doubled down on his sentiment at a press briefing.
"For
me,†McConnell stated. "And I think on the basis of the way the system
works, the decision by the electoral college was determinant.â€
So it's o.k. for an election to be stolen in plain sight for Mitch the Bitch.

Barr None
Timothy Birdnow
I always knew Bill Barr was a swamp rat. He was Bush 41's AG and that means he is one of the Ruling Class guys, a perennial Washington insider.
He has, of course, thrown the President under the bus, claiming their is no evidence of vote fraud - despite the fact he and his department have undertaken NO investigation despite multiple sworn affadavits and physical evidence and statistical analysis which shows irregularities.
Now Mr. Barr says there was no impropriety in the CIA spying on the Trump campaign before he was elected.
According to Newsmax:
In an interview with The Wall Street Journalposted
Friday, Barr said he had doubts early on about the agency's conduct. He
suspected the CIA was spying on the Trump campaignbefore the origin of
the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the alleged dealings
with Russia.
However, Barr said he concluded the CIA "stayed in its lane"before
appointing U.S. Attorney John Durham as special counsel in October to
investigate the Crossfire Hurricane probe.
Barr said he did not "see any sign of improper CIA activity"or "foreign government activity before July 2016."
So it is perfectly acceptable for the CIA to plant agents in a candidate's campaign? It's acceptable to lay traps for campaign staffers like Popodopoulis? Barr doesn't see a problem here?
Trump has done a terrible job of hiring good people. He's relied far too much on the scumbags who have haunted D.C. for decades. Change means actually changing things, which means bringing in new people. Go to middle America. Get people who attended Nebraska and not Harvard. Hire guys who run middle sized companies and not giant corporations. Don't get Yale lawyers but rather lawyers who went to St. Louis University. Go outside the system.
Trump had so much on his plate he didn't have the time or the political strength to fight for "flyover candidates". But personnel is policy. Trump failed.
I fear we will learn Barr was one of the worst in the end.

War with China Coming?
Timothy Birdnow
I don't know anything about this website and it may be nothing more than conspiratorialissts, but I thought the information in
this post worth passing along. Take from it what you will.
Among the many assertions here is that critical cabinet members have disappeared, apparently on different "missions" at a time when China is supposedly making war preparations.
Also, it makes a good point: this hack of the U.S. computer systems occurred before the elections and happily may have seen the theft of electronic evidence of vote tampering.
I won't go into details; just suggest you read it and decide for yourself.

Covid Deaths Came AFTER Draconian Regulations
This from James Hatem:
All over Europe
we are seeing a record number of covid-related deaths. Russia, Germany,
Hungary, Ukraine, Poland, and many others are losing control. Of course
it is all Trump's fault. Or, maybe they were all celebrating America's
Thanksgiving holiday (what many are blaming America's increase on). All
these countries are having runaway deaths AFTER instituting their
toughest mitigation rules. Take a look at Slovakia, for example.

Trump's Unheralded Foreign Policy Successes Put Obama In The Shade. The Establishment Hate That
James Doogue
Morocco is the latest Arab country to join Trump’s push this year
for normalization with Israel, following similar deals with Sudan,
Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. There are rumours of other Arab
countries to follow and if Jarrad Kushner has anything to do with it,
they will happen.
Watching the left wing mainstream media's
attempts to report this news while attempting to not even mention
Donald Trump, much less give him any credit.
We know the same
media would have been calling for Barack Obama's canonisation
(sainthood), had he achieve half what Trump has in the Middle East and
North Africa.
Remember Obama's legacy was starting a war in
Sudan, creating the environment for ISIS to establish in Iraq and Syria
manifesting in mass murder, torture, rape, enslavement and the biggest
displacement of people in the region in history. Causing millions of
refugees flooding into neighbouring countries and eventually into the
West. Most major ISIS terrorist attacks in Europe have been carried out
by Muslims who came into Europe as 'refugees'.
When Trump was elected the mainstream media, as part of the anti-Trump 'Establishment'
, predicted Trump would be a disaster and a joke on the foreign stage.
There were those who predicted World War 3, with Trump at the helm.
Particularly given North Korea had heightened their aggressiveness
under Obama, and Iraq had been moving relentlessly towards nuclear
weapons supported by Obama's gullible Nuclear deal.
The media
did their best to mock Trump when he met with Kim Jong-un and have
skimmed over the fact Trump de-escalated tensions between North Korea,
Japan, South Korea and the US. There have been no North Korean nuclear
bomb testing under Trump. There were four under Obama.
The world has forgotten how worried they had been about North Korea at the end of Obama's two terms.
The global mainstream media also heavily criticised Trymp for
cancelling Obama's Iran deal. We even had commentators admit that
everyone knew Iran was breaching the terms of the agreement, but 'at
least they were at the table'. Now they said, we risked an ostracised
Iran going rogue and 'upsetting the delicate balance in The Middle
East'.
Trump on the other hand understood that most Arab
countries in The Middle East are Sunni Muslim majorities and are hated
by Iranians almost as much as the Iranians hate Jews and 'the West'.
The Sunni nations were rapidly moving towards a position of doing
something about Iran if the rest of the world was going to sit on their
hands.
The first thing Trump did is make sure the US were self
sufficient in oil and gas, so that the US need for hydrocarbon imports
would not influence policy. Trump's policies in that regard succeeded
very quickly allowing him more freedom in The Middle East.
Still the 'Establishment'
diplomats, politicians and media, claimed Trump's policies were taking
the world closer to conflict. I know people who were predicting Trump
would use the nuclear option on North Korea, or Iran or both!
The fact is, Trump de-escalated the situation, and without doing what
former presidents did regularly in the past, give away money and aid.
In fact sanctions remain unchanged with North Korea, and sanctions were
re-introduced against Iran.
Meanwhile, dialogue between Japan, South Korea and North Korea, facilitated by the Trump administration continue.
Trump dumped the Iran nuclear deal, which was an act of appeasement by
Obama 'worthy of enrollment in the Neville Chamberlain catalogue of
dishounor.' as one commentator put it.

Biden Does Frostbite Falls
Timothy Birdnow
David Letterman once said he modeled his show on Mad Magazine. I think Joe Biden is modeling his Presidency on Rocky and Bullwinkle:
Rocky: Well, they don't call him Wrongway Peachfuzz for nothing!
Bullwinkle: You mean they gotta pay?
Bullwinkle: You just leave that to my pal. He's the brains of the outfit.
General: What does that make you ?
Bullwinkle: What else? An executive..
Well, today we find our heroes flying along smoothly...
Rocket J. Squirrel: Flying along smoothly?
Bullwinkle J. Moose: You're just looking at the picture sideways!
Rocket J. Squirrel: Actually it's like this!
Narrator: Oh... OH GOOD HEAVENS! Today we find our heroes plunging straight down toward disaster at supersonic speed!
Bullwinkle J. Moose: That's better.
Rocky: (recognizing Boris's voice) That voice. Where have I heard that voice before?
Bullwinkle: In about 365 other episodes. But I don't know who it is either.
Bullwinkle: I'd like to apply for a job as an usher?
Boris: What experience have you had?
Bullwinkle: I've been in the dark for most of my life.

U.S. Hack Shows Foreign Agents Back Biden and not Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Someone hacked the U.S. government computers and everyone is blaming the Russians and Donald Trump.
In a Facebook discussion John Madric asked why it was farfetched that the Dominion voting machines were hacked after the U.S. computers were clearly hacked for the better part of a year.
John O'Brien asked:
I'm sure you've heard about the biggest Russian hacking history on our
national security agencies that was made possible buy Trump ignoring
the warnings of the people who were hacked. He even proposed setting up
a joint cyber security agency with Putin. I'll bet his pal got a
chuckle out of that one! Or maybe that's fake news?
John Madric replied:
John Obrien I'm
not familiar with that issue. Can you provide a credible source? But
your joking aside, I'm not sure how that relates to my post, because it
seems to me that you are deflecting from the thrust of my assertions,
in order to direct attention elsewhere. I know you're an intelligent
man, so mental wandering is not something I expect from you. I'm always
happy to engage in objective dialogue. Not all are capable of that. For
many it causes cognitive dissonance...
John O'Brien said:
John Madricare you telling me you haven't heard about the biggest Russian Cyber
attack on our country in history? My credible news source is every news
source. Is anything credible to you?
I replied:
John Obrien you STILL didn't bother to answer John Madric's question. Provide a link so he can intelligently reply to your statement.If you are speaking about the latest hack, it is being attributed to the Russians but who knows? It could just as easily be the Chinese. Despite absolute assurances the Russians hacked the DNC computer, the Democrats hired Crowdstrike never did give anyone access to what happened and we were just supposed to take their word for it. I see every reason why this would NOT be a Russian hack, or do you not believe the Russians are on Trump's side? This helps to turn the page on the evidence Biden stole the election, which benefits Biden and not Trump. YOU GUYS have claimed the Russians wanted Trump, so why do this now? Either the Russians are helping Biden or it's someone else, the Chinese perhaps. Or the CIA. Any way you look at it there was no upside for Trump, which destroys any claim Trump was a "Russian Asset".
John O'Brien replies:
Timothy BirdnowRussia is on Russia's side. And as far as Trump being a Russian asset
his campaign had hundreds of contacts with Russian operatives and then
lied about it. That means nothing to you?
Mr. Birdnow responds:
"And as far as Trump being a Russian asset his campaign had hundreds of
contacts with Russian operatives and then lied about it. That means
nothing to you?" Your proof John Obrien? Oh wait; even Mueller's auto
da fe (stocked entirely with Leftis Demcrats) couldn't find any. OF
COURSE people involved in the transition were talking with the
Russians! You forget Hillary had multiple contacts with the Russians
and manage to say nothing about it. Her husband was getting big bucks
making speeches there. And why, pray tell, would the Russians want a
guy like Trump over Hillary? Hmm? Their economy was primarily based on
control of energy and Trump pushed American energy independence. Trump
ended the Paris Accord, something that would hamstring the U.S. Trump
ended the Iran nuclear deal, and Iran was and is a strategic ally to
the Russians. Trump wiped out ISIS, which was embarassing the U.S. and
tying us up in an endless war. Even demanding more from our allies in
Europe weakened the Russian position by forcing Germany and other
countries to do more for their own defense. And Trump's plans to
squeeze the Chinese economically hurt Russia as China was a
counterbalance to us. There is zero reason for the Russians to have
supported Trump. They knew exactly what he was going to do - he said
so. Either the Russians are monumental fools or those who claim
"Russian Collusion" are.

Hot Jupiter Radio
Timothy Birdnow
Astronomers have detected radio waves from a nearby planet.
According to Fox News:
"We present one of the first hints of detecting an exoplanet in the
radio realm," the study's lead author, Cornell University researcher
Jake Turner, said in a statement.
"The signal is from the Tau Boötes system, which contains a binary star
and an exoplanet. We make the case for an emission by the planet
itself. From the strength and polarization of the radio signal and the
planet’s magnetic field, it is compatible with theoretical predictions."
The
Tau Boötes system is approximately 51 light-years from Earth.A
light-year, which measures distance in space, is approximately 6
trillion miles.
The researchers made their discovery thanks to the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), a radio telescope in the Netherlands.
After
observing the radio emissions from Jupiter and looking at more than 100
hours worth of radio observations that were scaled to mimic the gas
giant, they discovered the so-called "hot Jupiter" signature, albeit a
weak one, in this star system.
"We
learned from our own Jupiter what this kind of detection looks like. We
went searching for it and we found it," Turner added.
In addition
to the possible radio emission that originated in the constellation
Boötes, they may have also found other radio emissions, including in
the constellation Cancer and Upsilon Andromedae systems.
A "hot Jupiter" is a Jupiter sized planet (or bigger) in a very close orbit around a star. From what we've learned about solar systems most stars have hot Jupiters rather than gas giants in the outer system as is the case in our solar system.
A hot Jupiter has profound implications for the development of a solar system and subsequently for the possibility of life.
At any rate, the discovery of radio waves from such a planetary body is quite fascinating and suggests perhaps a new approach to finding gas giant bodies around other stars.
A hot Jupiter would suck up much of the planetary mass inside the inner system, thus making the formation of a world like the Earth less likely. Also, a strong magnetic field would tend to make a star flare.
At any rate, this is a wonderful discovery.
Hat tip: Jeff Howe.

Covidiocy
This from Steven Schueler
The 2020 pandemic showed what it takes to sway many Americans to accept
absolute power: merely the endless recitation of the phrase "science
and data.†It didn’t matter that the science continually changed or
that the data was often worse than useless.
CDC data showed that "70.6% of people diagnosed with COV always wear a
mask vs 3.9% who never do.†Many states that mandated masks continue to
permit people to suffice with a scarf or bandana – even though studies
show that such garments "offered very little protection.†Rep. Thomas
Massie, one of the smartest members of Congress, observed, "The reality
is [mask] compliance has been high and as compliance has gone up, the
[positive Covid test] curve has gotten steeper.
Many governors and mayors are responding to the latest surge in Covid
cases with arcane decrees that sound like they were written by
bureaucrats on amphetamines. Delaware Governor John Carney decreed last
week that stores larger than 100,000 feet can have only 20% occupancy,
stores between 5,000 and 100,000 square feet can have 30% occupancy,
and stores less than 5,000 feet and churches and funeral services can
have 40% occupancy. But different rules apply if it is a "gathering†of
people instead of customers coming in off the street. In that case,
"Indoor gatherings at businesses… must be limited to the lesser of 30
percent of the venue’s stated fire capacity, or 10 people.†Delaware
gyms are permitted to hold small exercise classes but only if
participants stay "at least 13 feet apart.†It is not known whether the
state government placed an emergency order for hundreds of tape
measures for its inspectors.

Pentagon Halts Biden Transition
Timothy Birdnow
Well, well, well...the plot thickens!
Pentagon Abruptly Halts Biden Transition Briefings, Leaving Officials "Stunned"
Reports Swan: "Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios."
Biden's team has so far maintained that it's unaware of the directive while Pentagon officials are said to be stunned and in the dark: "Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause," the breaking Axios report notes. "The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved."
"Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration," Axios details.
However at least one senior Defense Department official downplayed the halt in Pentagon cooperation with President-Elect Biden, calling it "a simple delay of the last few scheduled meetings until after the new year."
But Jonathan Swan in a follow-up tweet noted this is all spin, saying "there was NOTHING routine about this decision" and appears part of an emerging information and intelligence war between the White House and president-elect Biden's team.

How to Game the Electronic Voting Machines
In a discussion about how electronic voting machines produce a paper ballot, Willis Eschenbach observes:
Oh, yeah, forgot to mention Gillee said:
===
"Because once the paper ballots match the computer totals, the whole thing goes poof and then saps like you have to snap back to reality."
===
How many improper votes does Gillee's magical method miss?
The largest number are the "ajudicated" ballots. Unlike in past elections, there have been hundreds of thousands of them.
Then we have the votes with unverified signatures. Again, hundreds of thousands.
Next, we have the votes of dead people. Fewer of these.
And of course, the people who voted twice in different states.
Gotta take note of the votes from illegal addresses.
And the votes that should have been rejected for things like missing addresses.
In Nevada, Native Americans were offered gift cards to vote for Biden.
And there are plenty of reports of people going to nursing homes and "assisting" elderly voters.
Then there are the people who have moved out of the state, but still get and return an absentee ballot.
Of course, ballots that are marked as returned before they were sent out.
Finally, there are straight-out forged ballots.
And no matter how many times you count all of those various categories of improper ballots, guess what, Gillee?
No matter how many times you count them, the paper ballots WILL match the computer totals perfectly ... but no, the whole thing does NOT go "poof" as you claim.
Instead, what has just gone "poof" is your credibility in your claims about the election.

The Canonizaton of Joe Biden
Timothy Birdnow
For those who do not understand Catholicism, Biden is EXCOMMUNICATED for his stands in open violation of Church teaching (abortion, homosexuality, etc.) The Church is just too polite (and unwilling to risk losing their tax examption) to issue a formal ban of LExcommunication. He is not a "man of faith" and has no business receiving Holy Communion (which itself is a mortal sin, taking Communion while in a state of sin). That Beliefnet would promote Biden as a man of faith is despicable and dishonest.
Biden will be the First Publicly Churchgoing President in Decades, Expect Faith on Full Display
Here is some of the canonizing in the article:
Biden’s devout faith gives us a glimpse into his faith life and his spiritual faith.
Biden’s deep faith is a big part of what helped him win over some religious conservatives.
What many Christians liked about Biden is that his faith was a
central part of his persona. He is always worn his faith on his sleeve.
What you may not know about Biden is that he carries a rosary that
belonged to his late son, Beau. Biden has also been open about how his
faith has helped him deal with loss, helping him through some of the
darkest periods of his life.
"I go to mass, and I’m able to be just alone, even in a crowd,â€
Biden said in an interview with Stephen Colbert about his faith. "It’s
just a place you can go.â€
You may remember they said this same sort of thing about Hillary Clinton "St. Hillary".
