Episode 314 – What a Shock!

Two people have been arrested in the death of Brian Sicknick during the January 6th riot at the Capitol building and the media cheers while ignoring the other fifty riots spreading throughout the country by Antifa and BLM.

And the Catholic church does something that it has done for the last 2000 years (and beyond) and everyone is surprised.

 

Still Don’t know What’s Up

Two men sprayed Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick with bear spray during the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to charging documents unsealed on Monday.

Julian Khater of Pennsylvania and George Tanios of West Virginia have been charged with assault for allegedly hitting Sicknick, who died a day after the riot, with the chemical spray.

There still is no information how Sicknick died. The autopsy has not been released. But it wasn’t a fire extinguisher as the the New York Times initially reported.

Now, this doesn’t change anything. If Sicknick died due to being sprayed in the face with mace, these two should be charged with murder, not assault. The fact that they were not charged with murder or something in the vicinity of murder leaves some questions as to what happened.

There have been 315 arrests so far over these riots out of about 500 rioters. I’m going to say this: that is awesome. They should catch every one of them.

With that. let’s talk about what is happening in Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis.

What About These?

Antifa Riots

I had to do some math here but it has been about 69 days since the January 6th Capitol riots. That has been all the news media has talked about. What they are ignoring is that antifa and BLM have had dozens of riots since then.

In Minneapolis, antifa and BLM have opened another autonomous zone within the area that George Floyd died called the George Floyd square. Once again, the Leftist government are just letting it go.

The zone takes up about four blocks and police are not allowed. Businesses are threatened and closed. The press is not allowed in. Basically, people’s lives are being destroyed. This is all in preparation for the Derrick Chauvin trial. The city is already preparing for rioting because no one is really sure if this guy is going to get convicted.

Would you consider this an insurrection? On Sunday, someone was killed within the autonomous zone by a drive by shooting. Police could not get in to help and he died.

By the way, Minneapolis gave $27 million to George Floyd’s family as a death settlement. This is probably going to delay Chauvin’s trial because it makes Chauvin look guilty. How an ex-felon, drug addict is worth $27 million is beyond me.

In Portland, things are going really well.

Antifa decided to threatened to burn down a federal court house. Then they threatened security inside. Then they vandalized it. The government didn’t arrest anyone. Instead they put up fencing and barriers. Antifa tried to attack the courthouse but failed because there were barriers. They arrest a couple of antifa members, who were just released a few hours later with no charges.

Things were quiet for a few days so they took down the fencing and barriers. Then, this weekend, it was the anniversary of Brionna Taylor’s death and antifa tried to burn down the same federal courthouse. Fifteen people were arrested including one guy who was arrested a few days before.

These antifa and BLM riots have been occurring all over the country including Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Seattle. There have been dozens of riots since the Capitol riots and less than 50 have been arrested. See a problem?

Why All the Love for Antifa?

The Left doesn’t believe in antifa as a terrorist organization and they have been saying this for the past year, even during the peak of the violence over the summer when the violence peaked.

Here’s Jerry Nadler:

Here’s President Biden during his debate with Trump last year:

Here’s Joy Beihardt yesterday on the The View talking about comments Ron Johnson made about antifa:

So, let’s get this straight once and for all: Antifa is real. It has been around since the 1940s. Antifa is using the same emblem they were using in the 1940s. They have a flag. They have a uniform. Though not centralized, they sects. They have a hierarchy within those sects. They have funding and a support staff. They travel from riot to riot. They’re armed. They have philosophical literature. They have a training program. They have a recruitment process.

Antifa, in some ways, is more organized and better funded than ISIS. And they have caused a lot of damage. They are not a myth. Not an idea. And not fiction. They exist.

With all the crap being brought up about a riot in Washington DC that lasted for three hours and 60% of the perpetrators have been arrested, why does the Left continually down play antifa and BLM, which have been rioting for almost a year and have caused between $2-3 billion in damage?

Because the Left wants antifa and BLM. They want that police force that does their bidding. Mussolini has his Black Shirts. Hitler had his Brown Shirts (the SS). Stalin had the NKVD. Each organization was a terrorist organization used to keep the people in line. Now the Democrats have antifa. This why they are not condemned, arrested, prosecuted and are ignored by the Leftist media.

It’s really scary to see all of the parallels between totalitarian governments and what’s happening in America today.

What’s the Surprise?

The Vatican declared Monday that the Catholic Church cannot bless gay unions because God “cannot bless sin.”

The decree came as the Vatican’s orthodoxy office, called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), responded to a question about whether Catholic clergy can bless same-sex unions.

The church has previously welcomed gay people into its fold but does not recognize their unions as marriages. Instead, Catholic doctrine teaches that marriage is a union between a man and woman.

The decree states:

“The presence in such relationships of positive elements, which are in themselves to be valued and appreciated, cannot justify these relationships and render them legitimate objects of an ecclesial blessing, since the positive elements exist within the context of a union not ordered to the Creator’s plan.”

God “does not and cannot bless sin: He blesses sinful man, so that he may recognize that he is part of his plan of love and allow himself to be changed by him,”

By the way, God’s plan for marriage is that the couple will have children. Obviously, a gay couple cannot have children together. If you’ve ever been married in a Catholic church, it is the main covenant that the couple makes to God. To have children and raise the children as good Catholics.

Pope Francis holds a lot of Leftist thoughts but he still has not shied away from keeping the traditions of the Church. Gay marriage and abortion have been real problems for the Catholic church and he has not relented in the least. Pope Francis has even criticized politicians of support abortion like Joe Biden.

Don Lemon took real offense to this. Which is weird and I’ll say why in a second. He’s gay and engaged. He decided to put his two cents in on The View:

OK, a few things here:

  • Don Lemon used to be a Baptist and is non-denominational that “believes in a higher power.”
  • Catholicism has been around for 2000 years. I’m pretty sure that there has been a philosopher or two that are more wise than Don Lemon.
  • Just because the Catholic church says they can’t bless his marriage doesn’t mean he still can’t get married.
  • God’s main role is to judge.

 

Sorry this upsets Don Lemon but the Catholic church is not going to change 2000 years of doctrine and philosophy because Don Lemon is gay and offended even though he is not a Catholic.

The Biden administration was not thrilled with the church’s decision not to bless gay marriage. Jen Psaki said that she did not have a message from Biden personally, but as a “devout Catholic” still believes in gay marriage.

Joe Biden is a devout Catholic? He believes in abortion up till the moment of birth. He has been refused communion. I’ll go a step forward: He does not support free will or choice. His belief in big government and telling people what to do goes against the Bible. How do I know that? The Founding Father wrote the Constitution based on freedom of the individual and the contraction of the federal government. This belief was based on Judeo Christian philosophy.

In the end, this bitching about a Catholic edict that has been around for 2000 years is meant to demonize the Catholic church. The church goes against Leftist philosophy. Yes, Pope Francis is a Leftist that believes in redistribution, environmentalism and is against capitalism but when the rubber hits the road, he will follow doctrine. Because he has too. No matter whose feelings it hurts.
