Presidential Proclamation on National Day of Prayer, 2023
Washington, DC...In periods of peace and prosperity and in times of struggle and strife, countless Americans turn to prayer to seek guidance, bolster our faith, and brace our spirits when we need it most. Prayer is both a personal and communal act — composed of our most intimate thoughts and a practice observed by multitudes across our diverse Nation in every language, culture, religion, and belief system. On this National Day of Prayer, we recognize the profound power of prayer, grounded in deep humility and hope.
The right to pray is enshrined in our Constitution and stamped firmly in the American tradition. The belief that prayer can move mountains is, at its core, a belief in making the impossible possible. There is nothing more American than believing in the endless possibilities of what we can do when we do it together.
Throughout our history, prayer has empowered moral movements and fueled efforts to strengthen our democracy. It was deeply rooted in the fight to abolish slavery and the expansion of voting rights and voter access. And it continues to compel us to uphold our founding creed that all of us are created equal, are made in the image of God, and deserve to be treated with dignity and equality throughout our lives.
We will never fully know how prayer has quietly influenced every aspect of American life — bringing comfort to service members on the battlefield, grounding the spirits of astronauts in space, guiding the healing hands of medical professionals tending to our loved ones, and fortifying the faiths of millions of worshippers in every corner of our Nation. There is hardly an aspect of American life that is not touched by the silent supplications of prayer to fulfill our hopes and our aspirations.
Earlier this year, I was honored to speak at a Sunday service at the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, now pastored by Senator Raphael Warnock. In that sacred place, praying and contemplating Dr. King’s moral vision of a “Beloved Community,” we were reminded that so much more unites us than divides us. We are all bound together by our love of country and our belief in democracy. Today, I pray that we can see each other as we should: not as enemies but as neighbors, and not as adversaries but as fellow Americans and human beings. Only when we see ourselves in each other will justice, as scripture tells us, “roll down like waters,” righteousness become “a mighty stream,” and America fulfill its true promise as a land of liberty and justice for all.
The Congress, by Public Law 100-307, as amended, has called on the President to issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a “National Day of Prayer.”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 4, 2023, as a National Day of Prayer. I call upon the citizens of our Nation to give thanks, in accordance with their own faith and conscience, for our many freedoms and blessings, and I invite all people of faith to join me in asking for God’s continued guidance, mercy, and protection.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-seventh.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

PLEASE LORD LET THE IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR THIS POTUS SEE THE LIGHT OF WISDOM FOR ONCE

The POTUS aids have reached out to Hunter Biden to follow the advise of the WH lawyers saying what Hunter is doing could really be a nightmare for everyone in this Administration.
Hunter now has hired new lawyers, one being Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner – without input from his father’s people.
The outlet stated, "The tensions led Hunter — without involving the president's top aides — to hire prominent lawyer Abbe Lowell in December, as part of a plan to take a more combative approach than the White House and Hunter's previous lawyer had taken."
Additionally, the White House is wincing as Biden’s team is "moving toward creating a legal defense fund, and hiring ethics advisers for it."
It's simply amazing Lord that the left can be so ignorant, so stupid, did you not give them a functioning brain? They seem no smarter then a chimpanzee, have they not evolved like you planned?
So I will plead with you, could you possibly raise their IQ???
I know I'm asking for a lot Lord, but it's also for their own sake too.
Did not a wise man say, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a
lifetime''?
So instead of keeping them as leeches, ignorant, stupid, and violent criminals, could you please just raise their IQ above 80 for a change. Or is that as impossible as it sounds and would they just use such a gift you give them to cause even more harm to everyone then what they already have done?
Thank you Lord for listening to possibly the hardest accomplishment ever in your hands.
AMEN

If you think hunter did something bad, wait until you hear about Clarance Thomas!
Harlan Crow took him on luxurious trips around the world- private jets, yachts, etc. Look up Bohemian Grove in Ca. Corrupt republican paradise!
He also paid for Clarance’s mom’s house, including hundreds of thousands in renovations. And he paid $150,000+ for Clarance’s adopted son’s schooling.
But back to Hunter- The way I see it, the last two presidents have sons who smoke crack. Do you think Don and Hunter ever hang out?

All who love their guns, should pay for them.
Pray that the guns are protected, not kids in school.
Pray for more deaths from AR15 , the gift from above to all those who value guns over human life.
