Biden’s call for unity a welcome change from pain, mistrust and division under Trump

  Unfortunately, many Republicans have been quick to attack Biden’s call for unity. That’s a mistake. Perhaps once Trump’s term of office is over, at least some Republicans will accept Biden’s olive branch and agree to work in the national interest instead of fanning the flames of division.

  2. Democrats had better remember this: despite the White House's chaotic and incompetent handling of CoVID and the economic fallout, Trump nearly beat Biden in the popular vote (especially before the rigged ballot boxes appeared), the GOP increased its seat total in the House and kept the Senate. If China hadn't released the virus, Trump and the GOP would've trounced the Democrats at all levels. This Biden win wasn't a vote for him but a vote against Trump. Biden had better remember that when the Squad tells him to veer hard left.

  3. What a joke. I'm on less well known social media that carries stuff you'll probably not get on Twitter, Facebook, high up in Google search results etc.

    The stuff I get to review is vicious anti-White activism. The Democrat party is riven by discord. You just wouldn't know it from this blog because this blog gets it's stories spoonfed to it presumably from popular search engines and similar sources.

    The raw footagevand first hand reporting of what's really going on is a whole lot different than the unified front the Democrats and Leftists comically try to project.

    I can't imagine too Republicans accepting an olive branch, if they want to get re-elected that is.

  4. Already happening. As I like to say, the Left eat their own. Criticism from the left of the Left of an innocuous establishment Democrat cabinet choice already being trumpeted by some in the media.

    By highlighting this criticism, the media the continues its relentless campaign to move the "center" of discourse leftward, attempting to cancel the historic right altogether.

    At some point this approach becomes counterproductive, as with the touting of the defund police initiative which almost destroyed the Democrat party.

    A Biden presidency is a wonderful gift from my perspective. Trump's time had come, as he had gone too far in championing degenerates. And a Biden Administration is bound to get mired in the quicksand of consensus building. No way Mr. Biden can satisfy even a fraction of those who voted him in without alienating the majority.

    The Democrats need Trump now more than ever to maintain the cohesiveness of their coalition -- but he's gone. So now what?

    I'm sure that Democrats are looking forward to healing and reconciliation with the millions of Americans they think are racist, sexist, homophobic bigots. Or alternatively, they're lying and using "unity" to mean "shut the hell up."

  8. Torah thought on חיי שרה
    “Abraham accepted Ephron’s terms וישמע אברהם אל אפרון. Abraham paid out וישקל to Ephron the money הכסף that he had named in the hearing of the Hittites—four hundred shekels of silver at the going merchants’ rate עבר לסחר. So Ephron’s land ויקם שדה עפרון in Machpelah, near Mamre—the field and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border thereof round about, were made sure, passed to Abraham as his possession לאברהם למקנה, in the presence of the Hittites, of all who entered the gate of his town [i.e., all his fellow townsmen] בכל באי שער עירו. And then Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field of Machpelah, facing Mamre—now Hebron—in the land of Canaan. Thus the field with its cave were made sure ויקם השדה והמערה אשר בו unto Abraham for a possession of a burying place לאחזת קבר by the Hittites.” (Genesis 23:16-20).
    בראשית כ"ג י"ח
    לְאַבְרָהָם לְמִקְנָה לְעֵינֵי בְנֵי חֵת בְּכֹל בָּאֵי שַׁעַר עִירוֹ:
    רש"י
    בכל באי שער עירו - בקרב כולם ובמעמד כולם הקנהו לו:
    Hertz Chumash p. 82: “For generations, nay centuries, the children of Israel were to have no point of fixity save the sepulcher of the Patriarchs. The Cave of the Machpelah is regarded with immense veneration by the Mohammedans, who built a large mosque over it, and until recently altogether excluded both Jews and Christians from viewing it. A visit is still fraught with considerable difficulty for a Jew.”
    Abraham paid out the 400 large silver coins to Ephron and buried Sarah in the Cave of the Machpelah before all the people of the Hittites. I like the repetition ויקם שדה עפרון and לאברהם למקנה לעיני בני חת בכל באי שער עירו and
    ויקם השדה והמערה אשר בו לאברהם
    Were there fake news and hostile media in Abraham’s time? Abraham was king. Abraham made efforts to make certain that Abraham and his descendants (us today) own that property for ever. Beautiful.
