In the excitement and ruckus of a presidential election we often forget that we are electing more than just a president. We are electing their possible successor while they are in office. This is even more important this year considering the age of the contenders. Trump is 74 and Biden is 77.

There is little need to look at Mike Pence, Trump's running mate, since I think most of us are aware of his Christian values and some of the controversy it has caused.
5 faith facts about Vice President Mike Pence: A ‘born-again, evangelical Catholic’

So let's turn our attention to Kamala Harris. I came across this disturbing headline the other day.
Kamala Harris praises BLM, says ongoing protests are 'essential' for change in US
"Kamala Harris.....says ongoing (BLM) protests are 'essential' for change in US." BLM is essential? If she thinks they are essential, then BLM would have a role in a Biden Harris administration. Maybe even an essential role.

Let's look at BLM. The best way to understand BLM is to compare it to the Civil Rights Movement. The founders of the Civil Rights Movement were Christian, many of them ministers.

The co-founder of BLM is Marxist.
https://nypost.com/2020/06/25/blm-co-founder-describes-herself-as-trained-marxist/

The Civil Rights Movement was established in response to unconstitutional Jim Crow laws and voter suppression by the Democrats. And to stop lynching of blacks.

BLM was established in response to the Zimmerman Martin verdict after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Black Lives Matter: From Hashtag to Movement
Keep in mind that Zimmerman was found innocent in a court of law according to the constitution. From its very beginning BLM's purpose was to thwart the constitution.

"The Bible clearly condemns any form of sorcery, including spells, divination, involvement with spirits, and other dark spiritual activity. The admonitions against such practices are consistent in the Old and New Testaments."
What is a biblical view of sorcery?

There is this story about the leaders of BLM.
BLM Leaders Discuss ‘Resurrecting a Spirit So That It Can Work Through Us’
In that same story it also talks about BLM ties to the LGBTQ community.
"The conversation between the two Black Lives Matter activists took place after a live performance art event by Cullors (BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors) entitled “A Prayer for the Runner.” The performance was sponsored as part of June Pride Month by the Fowler Museum at UCLA. (Cullors identifies as queer and she is “married” to BLM activist Janaya Kahn, who also identifies as queer.)"

One final story about BLM.
BLM leaders practice 'witchcraft' and summon dead spirits, black activist claims

This November when going to vote remember that Kamala Harris, possibly one heartbeat from being president, finds these people "essential."

That's a bit of a leap. How do you get from the protests are essential to push for change to BLM being part of the administration?

If she thinks that the protest by BLM are essential to change, then if elected, she would help Biden to pick federal judges that are sympathetic to BLM's Marxist, LGBTQ and occult views, along with advisors, cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and other federal positions that she would be in a position to advise Biden on.

Just for clarification, I didn't mean she would push for a cabinet level BLM.

That’s a very narrow perspective. You might disagree that there is any need for change in your country, but plenty of people who live there too would disagree with you.

Let me just say for simplicity sake, what if Biden picked an attorney general, though was highly qualified, was sympathetic to BLM and Antifac.

I agree there is a need for change. But not the type that BLM and Antifac are calling for. To begin with only 17% of BLM is Black. The rest is mostly young white woke hooligans who are there for the fun of.
Recent protest attendees are more racially and ethnically diverse, younger than Americans overall

This what BLM has become
https://nypost.com/2020/09/05/wealthy-nyc-woman-busted-in-blm-rampage/

It is the young white woke that want the police defunded, not blacks. The police presence is interfering with fun they are having rioting and looting.
Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence

After reading stories like this, how can one not see the need for police reform?

It’s very easy to pick out the worst to make a point, but it isn’t representative. Attempts at police reform have made little difference, it’s not surprising that people at the blunt end of it have had enough. That a bunch of other people have joined in is neither here nor there.

I do realize we are electing more than a president. A president chooses a cabinet. President Trump's cabinet is like a rogues gallery of criminals and accomplices. Some have indeed been indicted and convicted. Many have been forced to resign for taking advantage of their expense accounts. Most are corporate lobbyists who want to dismantle the department's they are appointed to run well. Some, like Barr, are his fixers. Some, like DeVos, pay millions for the spot to enforce radical agendas. Some, like Chao, a Chinese shipping heiress, have huge conflicts of interest. Some, like Ross, were Russian money launderers. As for Steve Bannon or Steven Miller...agents of chaos.
And Jared, who failed security clearances, messing around without any qualifications.
The generals reluctantly helped Trump, hoping to save the country, and left because he was too far gone to be a fixer upper.
I want a president who has competent persons of character as advisors, not grifters and accomplices.

The fact that Biden chose Harris as his running mate, shows how he'll cater to the radical left which controls him. Instead of looking for the most qualified, race and gender had to meet his qualifications.

He probably should've chosen Amy Klobuchar, being out of all running except for Tulsi Gabbard, she was the most qualified and certainly more qualified than Harris.

But the radical left demanded that Biden chose a black woman as well. So, race was his focus.

Guess who else focused on race in his career ?

I don't see any difference between Biden's choice of Harris and Trump's choice of Pence.

Pence was chosen by Trump because he needed to get the support of Evangelical Christians and conservative Catholics who would otherwise have been personally repulsed and disgusted by his blatant immorality.

Biden needed to ensure that black voters would come out in large numbers, since their failure to come out in large numbers in 2016 had put us in the disastrous position we are today.

The socialism dog whistle is just that, an attempt to distract us from the creeping fascism that Trump is bringing into government. Republicans call programs like Social Security and Medicare, which worked effectively for many decades, socialism. Don't listen to them.

The difference between Pence and Harris is night and day and it has to do with Biden's age and mental state, which suggests he won't finish his term. Harris will turn the US into a Banana Republic.


Trump health wise is far better than Biden's.

If the US truly was the fascist wasteland that the progressives make it out to be, those same progressives would've been rounded up by the Army and lined up against a wall in front of machine gun long ago.

President Trump simply has policies that the left doesn't like. I realize the bar is set pretty low for calling somebody a fascist these days but calling somebody that doesn't actually make it true.

Perhaps the next debate should include a push up contest. I think just the opposite (and don't believe the medical reports on Trump. Just look at him--living on cheeseburgers and diet cokes, his only exercise golfing with a good cart, up all night tweeting and watching tv, 30% body fat, borderline obese, seething and florid faced most of the time.)

So Biden is pale. So what? He's Irish. He bikes and exercises with his wife.

And he isn't quarantined for COVID after his dangerous anti-mask office policies exposed him, his family, and staff to COVID in the close confines of Marine One and Air Force One when Hope Hicks fell ill.

His health consciousness, like his awareness of other people's needs and feelings, is non-existent.

I'm not sure how the Democrats came up with Biden, another old white guy. They seem to be the party of young minorities and women.

It was simple. Biden has been in Washington for 50 years and has many friends and people in the Democratic Party who owe him favors. So, he was endorsed in key states during the Primary like SC.
This and the belief that he could beat Trump, which is really the end goal for the Democrats. It's not about making the USA a better place, but a far left ideological place.

I think Biden could have beaten Trump in 2016 if Hillary hadn't stolen the primary from him. However Trump was the only Republican that could beat the Clinton machine. Any mainstream Republican candidate would have suffered the same fate that Biden did.
