Biden walks, talks, and spends your money like a drunken sailor.
Hardworking taxpayers are bearing the burden of his woke policies, including the cost of supporting millions of illegals he allowed into the country under the pretense of asylum.
I am not opposed to orderly, sustainable immigration of genuinely persecuted and well-vetted individuals who can be assimilated and become productive citizens.
However, I am convinced Biden’s immigration policies are meant to form an easily manipulated, dependent voting block loyal to the Democrat party, using social programs and race baiting to maintain allegiance.
Unfortunately, I don’t think Biden will allow many refugees from Marxist countries, because they recognize the dangers of our budding Neo-Marxism and are warning others about it.

The full text of Senator Paul’s Festivus report is available on his website.
Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) and Representative Jim Banks (R-IN) of Indiana faithfully opposed this bill.
Unfortunately, Senator Todd Young (R-IN) voted for it. Why?
Young also voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, without the Lee Amendment providing well-worded protection of the religious freedom of individuals and organizations like bible-believing churches that only acknowledge traditional monogamous marriages.
Young claims the amendment was unnecessary. Apparently, he thinks he knows more than Senator Mike Lee (R–UT), former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, about safeguarding religious freedom from the woke. I don’t think so.
The woke demand everyone affirm their “progressive” ideology. It is “progressive” to deny the traditional, biblical definition of marriage. They are creating cunningly devised legal justification to enforce their ideology upon all.
Fundamentals of biblical Christianity including the patriarchal nuclear family and gender roles are under attack. God’s good design and instructions for human flourishing are despised by the woke.
Christians, don’t confuse the embrace of the woke for a cuddle. Like a boa constrictor, they are slowly squeezing this nation into submission. They view Christianity as a hindrance to their new world order.
