Biden Omits God From Thanksgiving Message
President Joe Biden failed to recognize God in his Thanksgiving message, something former presidents warned against. Instead, Biden only thanked the American people and omitted reference to God as the source of blessings for which Americans celebrate gratitude on the holiday of Thanksgiving.
According to Breitbart:
“In his memorable 1863 presidential proclamation instituting Thanksgiving as a national holiday, Abraham Lincoln urged his fellow Americans to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November ‘as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.’ […] And in case anyone forgets to thank Almighty God for these gifts, Lincoln also issued a warning, noting that these bounties ‘are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come.’”
President Rutherford B. Hayes also shared a similar proclamation, stating that “withdrawing themselves from secular cares and labors, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their respective places of worship, there to give thanks and praise to Almighty God for His mercies and to devoutly beseech their continuance.”
Although Biden did express his gratitude for “service members and veterans, first responders, firefighters, police officers, workers and union leaders, public servants and teachers, doctors and scientists,” according to Breitbart, he somehow left God out.
Biden was not the first to omit God from his Thanksgiving address as former President Barack Obama did the same in 2016.
Concerns over secularizing the holidays, or holy days, are growing across America. Removing references to Jesus during Christmas has long been an issue. Taking God out of Thanksgiving is but the latest trend to raise eyebrows. The degradation of the family unit has added to the secularization of the holiday as the word family also seems to be used sparingly during this time.
What was supposed to be a hearing on the Secret Service agency’s failures leading to two assassination attempts against President-elect Trump, led to a shouting match on Capitol Hill. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, “shouted at Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, after the GOP lawmaker lambasted the service for security lapses that made Trump a target of two failed shooting attempts” according to Fox News, which details:
The outburst happened after Fallon showed a picture of Presidents Biden and Trump at a 9/11 commemoration ceremony this year and suggested that as the Special Agent in Charge of that detail, Rowe should have been close enough to Biden to be in the picture. Rowe was not pictured.
“Who is usually at an event like this closest to the President of the United States?” Fallon asked, pointing at the photo. “Were you the special agent in charge of the detail that day?”
Rowe said the security detail was present but out of view of the camera. As he spoke, he became enraged and accused Fallon of using 9/11 for political purposes.
“That is the day where we remember more than 3,000 people that have died on 9/11. I actually responded to Ground Zero,” Rowe said. “I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center.”
“I’m not asking that, I’m asking you, if you were… were you the special agent in charge!?” Fallon interrupted, shouting at Rowe.
Rowe raised his voice in response. “I was there to show respect for a Secret Service member that died on 9/11!” he yelled back.
“Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes!” Rowe screamed at the lawmaker.
“I’m not,” Fallon fired back, as the committee chairman demanded order and banged his gavel.
“You are, sir. You are out of line, congressman!” Rowe fumed. “Way out of line.”
Fallon then accused Rowe of “playing politics” by refusing to answer his question.
“I am a public servant who has served this nation,” Rowe retorted, saying he served on the nation’s “darkest day.”
“You will not politicize it!” Rowe thundered.

Biden and Obama hate America. He didn’t omit God by accident. Just more pandering to the woke congregation

Neither Obama nor Biden believe in God.
They believe in Marx and Stalin.

Come on you guys, the real Joe Biden is dead, this is an “actor”. Trump has told us, numerous times, that we’re watching a “movie”.

Biden can’t possibly be Catholic with his held beliefs. At least his dogma wasn’t taught at my school.
