Mike Pence: You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America
Mike Pence
United States’ Vice President Michael Pence spoke at the Republican National Convention last night, where he also accepted the nomination to again be a candidate to be US Vice President:
Pence Assails Biden on Police Funding Amidst US Racial Unrest
August 27, 2020
With more racial unrest roiling the United States, Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday night told voters that “you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America,” attacking the Democratic presidential candidate as a willing partner of those who want to curb police funding.
“Joe Biden says America is systemically racist,” Pence said on the third night of the Republican National Convention. “And that law enforcement in America has a quote, ‘implicit bias,’ against minorities. And when asked whether he’d support cutting funding to law enforcement, and he replied, ‘Yes, absolutely.'”
“The hard truth is…you won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America,” Pence said in an address at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry, where U.S. troops repelled a British attack in 1814 in the country’s early years. That battle inspired the writing of the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
President Donald Trump and many of his supporters have charged that Biden supports Black Lives Matter and other liberal activists’ call for “defunding” local police departments, an assertion Biden has strenuously denied. But Pence was right in saying Biden and his running mate, California Senator Kamala Harris, are open to trimming police spending and using the savings for other community agencies to help curb crime.
“I don’t want to defund police,” Biden said earlier this month. “I want to get police more money in order to deal with the things they badly need, from making sure they have access to community policing, that they have also in the departments social workers, psychologists, people who in fact can handle those god-awful problems that a cop has to have four degrees to handle.”
Nomination
Pence formally accepted renomination to a second term as Trump’s second in command if they win reelection November 3. With his wife, Karen, and about 130 people listening, Pence vowed that he and Trump “will stand with those who stand on the Thin Blue Line, and we’re not going to defund the police — not now, not ever.” …
In the midst of the convention, racial turmoil has erupted in the 100,000-resident Midwestern city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the police shooting Sunday of a Black man, Jacob Blake, touched off street protests against police while some buildings were set afire. A 17-year-old youth from the neighboring state of Illinois was arrested in the killing of two protesters and the shooting of a third.
Trump and Pence, along with numerous convention speakers, have portrayed their administration as a staunch supporter of law enforcement, standing against violent protests that have erupted against racial injustice and police abuse of minorities since the May 25 death of a Black man, George Floyd, while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Pence declared: “The violence must stop, whether in Minneapolis, Portland or Kenosha,” and that the Trump administration would guarantee “law and order” for every citizen.
In his remarks, he said “President Trump and I know the men and women that put on the uniform of law enforcement are the best of us. They put their lives on the line every day.”
“The American people know we don’t have to choose between supporting law enforcement and standing with African American neighbors to improve the quality of life in our cities and towns. From the first days of this administration, we have done both. And we will keep doing both for four more years in the White House,” he said. https://www.voanews.com/2020-usa-votes/pence-assails-biden-police-funding-amidst-us-racial-unrest
Pence Warns Of An Unsafe America Under Biden: Takeaways From Day 3 Of The RNC
August 27, 2020
Pence was the one speaker who did make a reference to the situation in Wisconsin, but he didn’t acknowledge the serious blowback that it triggered in communities across the country, or offer any commitment to address the underlying issues.
Instead he grouped it in with mentions of other incidents across the country in recent weeks. “Let me be clear: the violence must stop — whether in Minneapolis, Portland or Kenosha,” he said.
He vowed that the Trump administration stood for cracking down while Democrats didn’t favor a hard line. “We will have law and order on the streets of America. Joe Biden would double down on the very policies that are leading to unsafe streets and violence in America’s cities.”
He also warned, “You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America.” …
“From Seattle and Portland to Washington and New York, Democrat-run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs. The violence is rampant. There’s looting, chaos, destruction and murder. People that can afford to flee have fled. But the people that can’t — good, hard-working Americans — are left to fend for themselves,” South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/27/906493194/pence-warns-of-an-unsafe-america-under-biden-takeaways-from-day-3-of-the-rnc
Whether or not a Biden Administration would be less safe than another Trump Administration can be debated.
Notice also the following:
After Kenosha — Divided We Stand
It would always come to this. At some point there would be a reckoning for BLM and Antifa.
The shootings in Kenosha, WI are a dividing line for America.
This is the moment where normal people finally said, “Enough. There will be consequences.”
This is a war between radicalized lunatics bathed in unquenchable envy and self-pity and those who refuse to act like victims.
But they are victims.
All of us are. On both sides of the divide.
We are victims of a vicious program to divide and conquer the U.S. through a culture war designed to dehumanize each other.
We fight among ourselves over scraps while the people who manipulated events to this point walk away laughing at the destruction.
They want the violence. They love it. They relish it. It brings them power and prestige.
To maintain their power, as the systems they’ve built fail, they have set us against each other: paid looters and rioters to become cannon fodder in their war against common decency, culture, communities and family.
All for control over the levers of political power. …
The sad truth is that this is only the beginning of what’s to come. The line is crossed and from town to town, that line will be more difficult to assess than ever before. https://tomluongo.me/2020/08/26/kenosha-divided-states-of-america/
Yes, worse is coming as Jesus foretold of a time of sorrows and troubles (Mark 13:8). Jesus also said:
25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
We are seeing more divide in the USA and parts of it certainly appear to be politically intentional.
Politics aside, here is what the USA really needs to heed:
30 “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” (Ezekiel 18:30-32)
Although Jesus said that the ‘peacemakers’ are blessed (Matthew 5:9), the Bible warns that some will declare “peace,” when there is no peace. Notice something from the New and Old Testaments:
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. (1 Thessalonians 5:3-4)
8 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you,” says the Lord God. 9 “My hand will be against the prophets who envision futility and who divine lies; they shall not be in the assembly of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 “Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace — and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar — 11 say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down. 12 Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?'” (Ezekiel 13:8-12)
Yes, people and politicians like to promise peace, but without living God’s way it will not be coming (though a temporal peace per Daniel 9:27 is expected).
No matter who or which future Administration you may think is better, national repentance is what is needed.
Also, remember the lesser of two evils is still evil.
Related to that, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
The USA presidential campaign is in full swing. Though Democratic party candidate Joe Biden and Republican party candidate Donald Trump have differing economic and climate policies as well as different views on abortion and racial matters, there are many similarities both share. Do they have policies that they share that are leading to the destruction of the USA? What do Bible prophecies reveal about sexual immorality, debt, and hypocrisy? What are some of the national sins of the USA? Does the Bible endorse voting? What did Jesus teach related to what to seek and pray for? What does the New Testament teach that Christians are to do related to leaders? Is the lesser of two evils still evil? Dr. Thiel goes over these matters, including going over eleven similarities the two major party candidates share and some of what the Bible teaches about evil.
