Neera Tanden, Biden's nomination to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), was a former Hillary Clinton adviser and the current president of the leftist Center for American Progress, has made a career of dividing.

In a 2016 press release, the Catholic Medical Association decried revelations of how Tanden, alongside John Podesta, the current chair of her board, plotted to spur division among Catholics for political gain, saying "the strategy of using contraception as a wedge issue has been 'successful as a political cudgel, helping isolate extreme ... [pro-life] advocates from the mainstream.'"

It is no wonder she is described as a "key architect" of the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare), which was used repeatedly to go after nuns (the Little Sisters of the Poor) for their religious views regarding abortion and contraception.  That fight is still ongoing, and with this pick, Biden sends a signal of where it is headed.

He is following through on his promise as a candidate to return to the Obama-era policy of persecuting nuns.  White House press secretary Jen Psaki was recently asked, "If Biden still planned to go after the religious and moral objection exemptions given his stated goal of bringing the country together."  She reiterated that "there's not a change in his position from what he said earlier this summer," even though, as customary, she promised to "circle back."

Well.... SHE's BACK!! Unless Republicans stop it ( Not optimistic. With Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, we practically have 3 more Democrats in the Senate).

Will Charlie Brown fall for the old Lucy spotting the football trick?

“I like you, I respect you, and I think you are a good pick for this job,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, early in a Monday hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Grassley is the top Republican on the committee.

“I think you’re a very good pick for this job,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who previously served as Judiciary chairman.
