Don’t Just Blame Joe Biden for Troublesome Appointments – Also Blame Pro-life Never Trumpers who Voted for Him

It’s a tried but true adage: elections have consequences, and for social conservatives, this has never been more evident than with the looming prospect of a Joe Biden presidency.

According to published reports, President-elect Joe Biden has selected California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Never mind that Mr. Becerra, an ideological lawyer with a lengthy record of hostilities towards the pro-life movement, has no medical training nor professional health credentials.

As a former member of the House of Representatives, Mr.

Video: Where Do We Go From Here? Post-Election Thoughts

It’s been over two weeks since the 2020 presidential election.

Believe it or not, ballots are still being tabulated – and in some states, recounted.

How should Christians respond to the current circumstances?

I recently recorded some thoughts:

Please let me know what you think.

Americans should be praying for Donald Trump and Joe Biden

Eight days removed from last week’s presidential election, questions and controversy continue to swirl and simmer in America’s political world.

While television networks have projected former Vice-President Joe Biden president-elect, President Trump and his campaign have filed numerous lawsuits in key battleground states alleging widespread voter fraud.

It’s likely that many of these matters won’t be resolved for several weeks, though as states begin certifying results and the Electoral College vote looms in early December, resolution remains on the not too distant horizon.

As President Trump Vows Legal Fight, Networks Declare Joe Biden President-Elect

After days of counting ballots in multiple states, the television networks have declared former Vice President Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

Citing charges and suspicion of widespread voter fraud, President Donald Trump has not yet conceded the race, and is not likely to do so in the face of pending litigation and expected recounts in several key states.

Regardless of party or position, this “COVID election” has taken its toll on everyone.

The Election Remains in Question – My Thoughts

As many of us expected, the outcome of the 2020 election remains up in the air.

It’s not what anybody wanted – and it’s left most everybody a bit tense and unsettled.

The combination of a record turnout and a dizzying maze of mail-in ballot rules and regulations have put many of the electoral outcomes in key states in the “too close to call” category.

As of this writing, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada remain an open question.

Thinking About After the Election – Before the Election

Election Day 2020 draws ever closer, even though tens of millions of citizens have already cast their ballots – a startling record in this unprecedented pandemic season.

I hope everyone reading this has voted or plans to do so between now and November 3rd. Even though experts are predicting a record turnout, the sad reality is that tens of millions of people won’t bother to participate in the electoral process.

Although every candidate running is a flawed person, voting is a sacred privilege.

VIDEO: When You Vote Life, You’re Voting for a Child’s Right to Dream

Dr. Tyler Sexton is a highly talented pediatrician with an unrelenting passion for helping children through their challenges.

Thankfully, there are a lot of physicians who fit that description – and your children may very well call one of them their personal doctor. But I suspect few have met anyone quite like my friend Tyler.

Born prematurely and not expected to survive, Tyler Sexton was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 18 months of age. Throughout the course of his young life, he endured 16 surgeries and countless setbacks.

The Presidential Election of 2020: Stop the Blame Game.

If you tuned into last night’s debate or have spent any amount of time following this year’s race, you know blame is now the name of the game in the 2020 presidential election.

Every affliction must be assigned a villain.

It wasn’t always so. Let me describe a true-life scene for you.

Record deaths from the virus were mounting, taxing hospitals beyond their capacity. On one day alone, over 60 desperate calls for medical help in New York City go unaided.

Meanwhile, a blizzard in North Dakota killed 34 people and a deadly tornado outbreak was sweeping through the South, killing dozens in its path.
