Joe Biden is the U.S.A.'s second Catholic U.S. President. The first was J.F.K. The U.S. Catholic Bishops are rebuking Joe Biden for his liberal views on abortion. I believe that the U.S. Catholic Bishops are using the "Wedge Issue" of abortion to fire up the conservative cultural Catholic movement that pits conservative Catholics against other Catholics and many non-Catholics. I believe that the conservative cultural Catholic movement is wrong because it takes away from all of the good deeds that the Catholic Church does in society and the world. The Catholic Church works for social and economic justice, they fight for the poorest and neediest people who need our help and don't have a voice, they educate the masses with their over 2,000 years of wisdom and moral beliefs, and they spread the word of Jesus Christ. I believe that if men, which compromise ALL of the top leaders of the Catholic Church, do not want abortion, then men should not have sex with women unless men are willing to sacrifice at least 20 years of men's time and money to provide for the mother and the child. Men should be taught about birth control, and that there is no form of birth control that is 100 percent effective to stop a woman from becoming pregnant. All it takes is for a man's sperm to reach and fertilize a woman's egg for a pregnancy to occur. I have no faith in Joe Biden because he is a Swamp career politician of nearly 50 years who used his power and money (mostly from China via alleged money launderer suspect Hunter Biden) to become the 46th U.S. President after running for the Oval Office since 1988, or for the past 32 years. Joe Biden has killed tens of thousands of energy jobs in the U.S.A., and he has had record level inflation by spending $6 trillion federal tax dollars in his first 100 days in the Oval Office, while still pushing to spend trillions of dollars more on his infrastructure and jobs legislation that is being held up by the Republican U.S. Senators' use of the filibuster, plus he filed a $6 trillion fiscal year 2022 federal budget proposal with U.S. Congress. In closing, I wish the Catholic Church would stop its conservative cultural Catholic movement once and for all, and instead focus on helping and educating the poor while spreading the word of Jesus Christ. I wish Joe Biden would stop killing so many American energy jobs, and be realistic and stop spending record amounts of federal tax dollars that is contributing to record high levels of inflation in 2021.

Hello Patrick Fennell,
I agree with you that Joe Biden is not supported by the Catholic Church for his positions on reproductive rights, especially his support for abortion. But the Catholic Church itself is a display of moral hypocrisy and patriarchal hierarchy where Catholic women are systemically second class citizens who are not allowed to be Priests on up to the Pope.
I respect the Catholic faith, but my views on human nature and human behavior are more lenient and different than their rigid beliefs. For example, young men need to masturbate as a matter of their health, and when a young man tries not to masturbate, he ends up walking around with an erection and/or having wet dreams with ejaculation(s). Yet, the Catholic Church still teaches young men that masturbation is a mortal sin. Women need birth control for their health and reproductive needs, and abortion is more often a medical decision than a birth control decision for women. Yet, the Catholic Church teaches women that because sex is a mortal sin, that women must forgo their reproductive healthcare decisions, which could even lead to their deaths. The Catholic Church has engaged in decades-long coverups of its own sexual abuse scandals that have caused great harm to many thousands of sexually exploited churchgoers, especially young children. Yet, the Catholic Church targets pro choice politicians such as John Kerry and Joe Biden instead of keeping their own house in order. John Kerry and Joe Biden should be the least of the Catholic Church's worries.
To answer your question if we were better off during the Trump administration than the little over 8 months of the Biden administration, I believe that both administrations were/are failures in presidential leadership. Trump's deficit spending added $8 trillion to the U.S. national debt in 4 years, while Biden's deficit spending will add between double to triple that red ink-filled financial figure. Trump was better on energy and inflation, but worse on foreign relations, especially with Iran but also with our closest allies in Europe. Both Trump and Biden are horrible racists. Trump's "Grab women by the pussy" hot mic remark and other sexist remarks against women were terrible. I wish neither Trump nor Biden were/are presidents!
Best wishes,

Hello Patrick Fennell,
I do not know all of the facts about Tara Reade's allegations of her allegedly being sexually assaulted by Joe Biden that may or may not have occurred a long time ago. From what I read about her, she is a bit of a con artist and huckster, but that doesn't mean she is lying about her allegations of sexual assault against Joe Biden sometime in 1992 - 1994, which is nearly 30 years ago now. Joe Biden denied her allegations, but so doesn't nearly everyone else out there deny their alleged wrongdoing and/or illegal behavior. It is very rare that one finds a person who admits that their actions were wrong and accepts the consequences of their wrongdoing and/or illegal behavior. Usually everyone but the wrongdoer has to pay for the wrongdoer's actions until the wrongdoer is brought to justice.
I am a non-Catholic, but I respect the Catholic Church because they fight for the poor and marginalized people and causes that the elites don't really care about, they believe in education, ethics and morals, and they spread the word of Jesus Christ to the world. I do NOT like their rigidity, and their moral views should not have to be followed by all people and politicians alike. People and politicians are allowed to have their own conscience that are different than the Catholic Church's moral views. Even Jesus Christ said that we are all sinners, but for us to stop sinning and live a moral life. Jesus Christ preached love, compassion and understanding. We all need to stop being on one side of the proverbial fence and start to unite with love, compassion and understanding. That is a beautiful message that I hope is heard, shared and followed.
I believe in families, and that hopefully a married man and woman may love their children. If I had sex with a woman who became pregnant from my sperm, I would hope she would not have an abortion, but when I decided to be intimate with her, I have to respect her reproductive decisions, including her right to have an abortion. As a man, the best decision I can make is for me to not have sex with a woman so that she won't become pregnant from my sperm and then she would have to make her reproductive decisions, including her right to have an abortion. If men want to end abortion, then men should stop having sex with women. Men cannot pass laws in Congress or the Supreme Court criminalizing abortion to stop women from having abortions because women will never stop having abortions. I wish every child and their families have a chance to live a rewarding life full of love and security, but my wishes for a perfect world will never come true in the real world we all live in.
Like you, I am a loving and proud Uncle. My nieces always bring love, joy and happiness to my heart.
Best wishes,

Christmas Eve, 2023
Around 2,000 years ago, Rabbi Jesus Christ was a persecuted Jewish man who Christians believe to be the Son of God as a matter of their Christian Faith. JFK, and now Joe Biden, are the U.S.A.'s only two Catholic U.S. Presidents out of the 45 U.S. Presidents so far. The ultimate Moral Hypocrite Donald Trump is making controversial comments claiming that Joe Biden is directing the FBI to persecute traditionalist Catholics due to their conservative stance against abortion that may lead to political violence and even domestic terrorism, and that the "DIE" programs are meant to subvert the religious right that more likely than not votes for Republican Party candidates.
What is Donald Trump doing to Joe Biden here? It is called "Cultural Conflict". Let us remember the three layers of conflict and violence, please: The bottom layer are direct actions such as verbal and physical assaults; The middle layer are structural assaults such as homelessness, joblessness, poverty and the underclass, and distressed communities; the top layer are cultural assaults such as sexism, racism, hate, religious intolerance, and divide and conquer for the elites to win at any cost.
The ideal model of the human condition is that we do not verbally assault one another, that we do not physically assault one another, that we do not have people living without a roof over their heads, that we do not have people without access to employment, that we have programs and policies to limit poverty and the underclass, that we transform distressed communities into middle-class ones by supporting career politicians who invest in people and communities instead of the elites voting to enrich themselves at the public trough, that we do not have people being hurt based on their gender/or and their race, that we unlearn hate, that we tolerate all religions, and that we know that divide and conquer is a cruel tactic that is akin to putting us common people on a chess board as pawns for the elites to win at any cost.
The Golden Rule: Everyone is treated both SAFELY and FAIRLY in the world. Donald Trump's cultural conflicts are the opposite of the Golden Rule. Donald Trump is trying to divide us in order to conquer all of us because he always tries to win at any cost. Look at all of the people who were close to Donald Trump who ended up paying for his cut throat tactics in business and politics. It is fair to say that Donald Trump does NOT treat everyone both SAFELY and FAIRLY. In fact, his words are similar to the words of Adolf Hitler around 100 years ago.
It is always a demagogue like Donald Trump - who openly cheated on all three of his wives, paid off his mistresses to stay silent, who has 5 children by 3 women, who declared multiple bankruptcies in his failed businesses, who refuses to release his tax returns to the public, who instigated the insurrection on Capitol Hill whereby 5 people were killed, who uses Hitler's words in his controversial political speeches, who favors authoritarian regimes around the world, who was twice impeached but not convicted, who is facing 91 criminal indictments in multiple court cases, who points his finger at his political adversaries without looking at himself in the mirror of self-reflection because he believes he is a perfect narcissist, who added a little less than $8 trillion to the U.S. national deficit in 4 years, and so on - who is a perfect illustration of MORAL HYPOCRISY!
