Recently, I had a conversation with a secular conservative, and he said something that really made me think. I listed off a number of abuses of power by the secular leftists in the Biden administration – pre-dawn raids, prosecuting political opponents, punishing religious speech and behavior, etc. And his reply was “what makes you think that Trump won’t do these things if he is elected?”

And I thought about that, and I realized that this is how the fascists in the secular left Biden administration think. They have to fascist Christians and conservatives, because they are so convinced that Christians and conservatives would do it to them. In history, there’s never been Christian or conservative weaponization of government. Throughout history, the big mass murders have only ever been done by the secular left – the German National Socialists, the Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea, etc. Secular left regimes that persecuted and even outlawed Christianity. But somehow, the secular left believes that they should be allowed to break the law. Their fears about what their opponents have never done, but might do, justifies the fascist actions they are doing right now.

So here is the latest news from New York Post. And I chose this article, because it was the lies of the corporate news media and the Democrat party leaders about whether this would happen that bothered me the most.

The fiction that Joe Biden is a selfless, honorable public servant — long undermined by his own deeds — collapsed in on itself Sunday night.

As did the credibility of his longtime allies in the Fourth Estate who helped write it.

For well over a year now, the president and his surrogates have indignantly insisted that he would not pardon his son, Hunter.

And because Biden is a Democrat, he enjoyed not only the benefit of the doubt from America’s journalists, but preemptive praise from them.

S.E. Cupp marveled that “the contrast” between Biden and Donald Trump — who protested the politically-motivated zombie case brought against him by Alvin Bragg — was “profound.”

Andrew Weissmann declared that Biden was “living what it means to have rule of law in this country.”

Legal commentator Neal Katyal said he knew “no other word” for Biden’s decision other than “presidential.”

Chris Whipple, the author of a book about the Biden White House, called his choice “extraordinary” and stood in awe of his “moral clarity.”

Biden biographer Evan Osnos expounded on his subject’s “old-school” conception of his duty and agitation at “abuses of power.”

And when a Republican strategist had the gall — nay, the temerity — to suggest that Biden would go back on his word, CNN’s Abby Phillip informed him, with no shortage of annoyance in her tone, that the president had “ruled out” a pardon for Hunter.

So much for all that.

On Sunday, Biden announced that he had pardoned his progeny not just for the gun and tax crimes he committed, but for any and all illegal conduct over the course of the last decade.

Asked about the reversal on Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden had determined that “war politics” had “infected the process.”

[…]Joe Biden has destroyed not just his own legacy, but that of those who went to bat for him.

This is how the secular left works:

And the corporate news media promoted this lie, over and over, and contrasted the virtuous Joe Biden’s devotion to the rule of law, with the lawless threat to democracy. They trumpeted those lies, they denounced the Hunter Biden laptop, they denied the the payments, and they denied 10% for the Big Guy. Now, when it all has been blown up and falsified, their news story is “Republicans pounce”.

By the way, if you are upset by this story – not surprised, but upset by it – then you should by all means check out the Monday podcasts by Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro. It helps to hear other people who have even more of the details talk about how horrible this pardon is.

Disgusting immorality. And this is the immorality that was trumpeted by “Evangelicals for Biden” and “Evangelicals for Harris”. They supported these lies, and when the lie comes out, they attack the people they lied to. Disgusting people. Nothing should be off the table for the incoming Republican administration in punishing the secular left for their lies.
