Prayer breakfast gives Biden fresh chance to call for unity

President Joe Biden is expected to address the National Prayer Breakfast, a Washington tradition that calls on political combatants to set aside their differences for one morning.

The breakfast, set for Thursday, has sparked controversy in the past, particularly when President Donald Trump used last year’s installment to slam his political opponents and question their faith. Some liberals have viewed the event warily because of the conservative faith-based group that is behind it.

Still, Biden campaigned for the White House as someone who could unify Americans, and the breakfast will give the nation’s second Catholic president a chance to talk about his vision of faith. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said the event will be “an inclusive and positive event” that “recognizes the teachings of Jesus, but is not limited to Christianity.”

Coons also told reporters that Biden’s remarks would take a different tack than those of Trump.

“There have been significant changes in tone and focus from President Obama to President Trump to what I hope and expect will be a different tone and focus under President Biden,” said Coons, an honorary co-chair of this year’s gathering.

Every president has attended the breakfast since Dwight D. Eisenhower made his first appearance in 1953. The event is set to be virtual this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

This ought to be something else. Maybe he will take this opportunity to repent of the orders he has signed against God’s Will and Word.

Unity of.. what? There is nothing on which one half the country would unify with the other. Nothing whatsoever.

You are absolutely right.

I cannot imagine a future where people are united under Biden.

I hate the man and always will.

I don’t even feel the deference that I felt towards other presidents, even Clinton and Obama.

Just way too many hard feelings from the stolen election.

Bitme should pray for forgiveness for fifty years of lies and corruption and step down and expose his handlers for the details of the election rigging.

I have always despised Biden, stemming from the backstabbing he gave to Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing. He’s a duplicitous, egotistical POS who has absolutely no intention of serving this country’s interests. His chosen people are the Red Chinese.

Biden calls for (scoff) unity while "woke" Coca Cola is dividing us into self-identfied cliques:

Coke demands outside counsel include self-identified diversity hires:
<><> American Indian or Alaska Native,
<><>Asian, Black, Women,
<><>Hispanic/Latinx, LGBTQ+,
<><>Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander and
<><>Persons with Disabilities.

If the law firms have the nads, just draw straws to see which legal eagle self-identifies as whatever the flavor of the month is.

Problem solved.

Yeah. President Trump represented the United States of America.

Obama and Biden represent all of the enemies of the United States of America.

Unity, my ass.
