Biden Tells Netanyahu They Need to Have a ‘Come to Jesus’ Meeting-Old Joe’s vaunted Catholic piety seems to come out only when he talks about people he hates

After Old Joe Biden’s ranting, rabidly partisan declaration of war against half the country, also known as his State of the Union address, the figurehead Commander-In-Chief huddled with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and another sycophant, and boasted about the pressure he was putting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I told him, Bibi, and don’t repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting.” Calculated disrespect? Galloping dementia? We’ll likely never know, for, as usual, the leftist press corps is too busy propping up Old Joe to look into anything that might cast him in a negative light.
When Biden realized that what he was saying was going out to a watching world, he doubled down: “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That was good.” Nor was this the first time that Old Joe appeared to be casting his contentious relationship with Netanyahu in religious terms. Last September, when Old Joe Biden finally invited the Israeli prime minister to the White House, after refusing to do so for nearly nine months while his regime did everything it could to undermine him, the two sat down for their first chat of Biden’s alleged presidency. As the leader of the world’s lone Jewish state began speaking, Old Joe bizarrely took the opportunity to make the sign of the cross.
What was Biden trying to do? Why did Biden choose a meeting with Netanyahu to make a sign of his much-ballyhooed, yet utterly empty and cynically displayed Catholic piety? Was it a calculated insult to a Jewish man with whom Biden has been publicly at odds? Was it a deliberate demonstration of contempt for a man Old Joe clearly hates and a nation he has tried in numerous ways to weaken, both before and after the Oct. 7 jihad attacks? Or was it simply yet another sign of the the senescent kleptocrat’s dementia? Or all of the above?
To put into perspective how odd this is, imagine if Trump had told Netanyahu that they had to have a “come to Jesus meeting,” or made the sign of the cross while sitting right next to him. There would have been a new round of “Trump is an antisemite” articles in the establishment media. The far-left propagandists and hatemongers at the ADL would have issued another in their long series of furious denunciations of the Bad Orange Man. The gesture would have been portrayed as a recrudescence of the bad old days of blood libels and false accusations against the Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. When Biden does these things, on the other hand, no one pays any attention.
Note also that Biden didn’t make the sign of the cross when he met with his friend Mahmoud Abbas, or tell him that they had to have a “come to Jesus meeting.” What’s more, Biden has made the sign of the cross more than once in the context of denouncing his enemies. On Labor Day 2023, according to the Daily Mail, the cynical old liar was speaking in Philadelphia: “As he gave shout-outs to some of the other Democratic politicians in the crowd, an attendee yelled up at him that Biden, 80, would live until 90, prompting the president to do the sign of the cross over his chest.” Biden then proceeded to denounce Trump while touting his own supposed achievements as president.
Nor was that the first time. Back in Sept. 2021, Biden made the sign of the cross at an event for his socialist comrade Gavin Newsom, who was facing a recall election in the California Socialist Republic. Old Joe likened Newsom’s opponent, Larry Elder, to Trump, and then said, “All of you know that last year I got to run against the real Donald Trump.” According to Newsweek, the aged corruptocrat “then made the sign of the cross, a common gesture among Roman Catholics that is sometimes used as a way to ward off evil.”
In a similar vein in March 2023, the Huffington Post claimed that Biden “drew laughs” by bringing up Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga): “Speaking at an event in Virginia Beach, the president asked the audience if they remembered her howls during his State of the Union speech, when she repeatedly interrupted with shouts of ‘liar!’ Biden resisted the temptation to strike back with a barb of his own and made the sign of the cross instead.”
So is Old Joe in the habit of making the sign of the cross when thinking about those whom he hates and wishes to destroy? Is that what is on his mind when he thinks of Netanyahu? It’s noteworthy in this connection that during his State of the Union address, Biden claimed that “more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.” The source for this wildly inflated number is Hamas. If Old Joe is willing to take the claims of his fellow serial liars in Hamas at face value, is it any wonder that he would let slip a clear indication that the first thing he thinks of when he thinks of Netanyahu is “Jew,” and not in a positive manner? Old Joe is as hateful as he is mendacious, and his misrule as president and systematic destruction of the republic will earn him the lasting opprobrium of history.
