Over 350 American Churches Have Been Attacked, Joe Biden Has Done Virtually Nothing

-

This week the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Aimenn D. Penny was sentenced to 216 months in prison and three additional years of supervised release for attempted arson of a church.

The 20-year-old man had pled guilty last October to hate crime charges under the Church Arson Prevention Act and to using explosives to commit a federal felony. According to the DOJ press release:

Angered by the church’s plan to host two drag events the following weekend, Penny threw two Molotov cocktails at the church, hoping to burn it to the ground. Through Penny’s guilty plea, he admitted to using force through fire and explosives, intending to obstruct CCC congregants in their enjoyment and expression of their religious beliefs.

The DOJ’s fervent prosecution of Penny, who will spend the next 18 years behind bars, prompts one to ask: is that same fervor applied to all cases of church vandalism?

Two-Tiered Justice System

Mostly during the Biden administration, over 350 churches have been targeted by both individual vandals and groups like Jane’s Revenge, usually for their pro-life or pro-family teachings.

“The response from the Biden administration has been the equivalent of a shrug and a yawn,” commented CatholicVote Director of Government Affairs Tom McClusky.

So what has finally motivated the Biden administration to protect a house of worship? The latest exception to the rule is that the Community Church of Chesterland (CCC), in Chesterland, Ohio, hosted drag show events where grown men dress up as women and act out in a sexually aggressive way, often in front of children.

McClusky added:

It is appropriate that the culprit is being charged. And what of the hundreds of various other crimes against churches in the past two years? Does the Biden FBI truly not care about churches burning, being vandalized, and getting shot at – simply because they are Catholic churches and the Biden administration opposes Catholic teaching on life and marriage?

In a quick review of the last three years of the Biden DOJ’s prosecution of hate crimes, one thing stands out: they’re quick on the draw when it comes to protecting certain classes of Americans. They’re not so quick in responding to the over-400 attacks on churches and pregnancy resource centers that they see as their political opponents at best, “deplorables” at worst.

Silencing Political Opponents

The Biden administration’s DOJ has not held back when it comes to prosecuting Americans with so-called “conservative” political views – whether guilty or innocent.

On September 23, 2022, pro-life activist Mark Houck was arrested by the FBI at his home for allegedly pushing an abortion clinic volunteer who had harassed his son. Houck’s arrest occurred despite the fact the charges had been dismissed by local authorities.

On September 29, 2022, the Eastern District of New York announced Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act charges against Fr. Fidelis Moscinski, a pro-life activist and Franciscan monk, for padlocking an entrance to an abortion facility and engaging in non-violent civil disobedience, for which local authorities previously sentenced him. 

On October 5, 2022, Eva Edl, an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor, was charged under the FACE Act for engaging in civil disobedience at a Tennessee abortion center. Ten other pro-life activists were also arrested for participating.

More recently, the DOJ announced a guilty verdict against six more pro-life activists under the FACE Act for their actions at an abortion facility in Tennessee. The “Tennessee Six” face up to 11 years in prison and fines that could exceed $260,000 each.

What did these radical protestors do to bring down the full force of the Biden administration?  Video footage of the protest shows a group peacefully praying and singing hymns.

McClusky added: “We can only conclude that the Biden administration thinks only the rights and beliefs of drag queens are worth protecting, not those of Catholics and pro-lifers.”

Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th
