“Recession” is only the most recent in a list of terms that Biden has redefined. We must pray for the preservation of truth and language.
From Just the News. As inflation continues to eat away at household budgets and fears of a major economic downturn continue to mount, the Biden administration is attempting to redefine the term “recession” in an apparent public relations push to mitigate backlash for the current state of the economy.
Post a prayer for your state!
This effort to obscure what has long been a simple, specific, and uncontroversial definition is part of an ongoing pattern of President Biden and his team redefining and weaponizing specific terms to further their political agenda and stigmatize forms of dissent they deem threatening.
Here are six terms the administration has sought to redefine:
1. Recession
For decades, experts have defined a recession as two straight quarters of negative economic growth, meaning a decline in gross domestic product.
This definition has become especially relevant with the latest GDP numbers for the second quarter of this year due to be released on Thursday, following the release of official figures in April showing the economy shrank 1.6% in the first quarter….
In recent days, however, several Biden administration officials have attempted to obscure the definition of a recession to argue the U.S. isn’t facing a recession, regardless of what the second quarter figures show…
Jared Bernstein, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, for example, said on CNN it’s up to the National Bureau of Economic Research — a nonprofit group of economists — to determine whether the U.S. is in a recession, adding the bureau does so “in hindsight because data comes in with a bit of a lag.”
Such a process could take up to a year, according to observers….
President Biden himself similarly insisted the U.S. is “not going to be in a recession….”
2. Disinformation
One of the more controversial terms the Biden administration has seemed to contort for political purposes is “disinformation,” using the term to target views with which the administration disagrees — especially concerning COVID-19 and the 2020 election.
In April, the Department of Homeland Security announced the formation of the Disinformation Governance Board to monitor and combat speech it deems “disinformation….”
Whistleblower documents … showed DHS officials writing that disinformation threatens homeland security, especially “conspiracy theories about the validity and security of elections” and “disinformation related to the origins and effects of COVID-19 vaccines or the efficacy of masks….”
3. Domestic terrorist
The administration appeared to redefine what a domestic terrorist is last year, when the National School Boards Association sent a letter to Biden asking his administration to investigate threats against public school officials. In the letter, the NSBA specifically referred to parents who protested the teaching of critical race theory in the classroom, suggesting such actions should be classified as “domestic terrorism….”
Less than a week later, Attorney General Merrick Garland sent out a memo warning that the Justice Department is “committed to using its authority and resources to discourage” the “threats” described by the NSBA, “identify them when they occur, and prosecute them when appropriate….”
The FBI defines domestic terrorism specifically as “violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”
It’s unclear how the administration thinks protesting vaccine mandates or the teaching of critical race theory could meet this definition.
4. Insurrectionist
In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the Biden administration has redefined the term “insurrectionist.”
In total, more than 750 people have been imprisoned for Jan. 6-related crimes without a trial.
Several of them have said the FBI, Justice Department, and federal prison officials under the Biden administration violated their civil and constitutional rights. The vast majority weren’t accused of carrying a weapon, assaulting law enforcement, or destroying property — let alone trying to “overthrow our government.” Many didn’t even enter the Capitol building.
Yet Biden, fellow Democrats, some Republicans, and federal prosecutors have labeled those who were involved in the Capitol riot, support the Jan. 6 prisoners, or question the results of the 2020 presidential election as insurrectionists….
5. Voter suppression
Following the controversy of the 2020 election, Republicans in some states such as Georgia have pushed a series of election reforms with the stated purpose of combating voter fraud and protecting election integrity….
Biden has consistently described these efforts as “voter suppression” meant to make it harder for people, especially minorities, to cast their ballots. Biden has even called such efforts “Jim Crow 2.0,” a reference to the laws that enforced racial segregation in the South….
6. Illegal alien
Last year, the Biden administration ended use of the phrase “illegal alien” to describe migrants who entered the country illegally, although “alien” has long been common in U.S. law. The administration ordered immigration enforcement authorities to use the term “non-citizen” instead….

My buddy told me to buy the Arizer Extreme Q, do you think that is a smart decision for a first time user?

I pray that the good Lord will confound, hinder and stop the communist influence within the leadership of the Biden administration. I know that sounds extreme. But the tactics we see have been used in every communist takeover of the past. I pray He confuses them at every turn so they become obviously exposed and ineffective.
1 Peter 4:7
Father your word says in the last days good will be called evil and evil will be called good. Father you also said a great revival would come before the end, where all who call upon the Lord shall be saved, and old men will dream.dreams and our children will prophesy. Acts 2:17. Your word says by the greatness of your power you will cause even your enemies to submit to you.Psalm 66:3. you said through Jeremiah: all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them—will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided. Jeremiah 30:16
Father your word says you watch over your word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:12
we belive you are preparing hearts and minds and spirits for the great coming revival, it is at the door, we believe you are setting up our enemies to reap what they have sowed and planned against us, and by your greatness these things will cause your enemies to submit to you. We wait patiently for you to perform your word and we thank you for it. In Jesus name
Yes the Biden administration and all who are in his administration telling him what to say and do to make America a Socialist Country.
Father God I believe you can save our Country. And that is my prayer to you tonight 🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏
Amen
This article from trusted source JTN and my beloved IFA causes some dismay. To use the term “Capitol Riot” for January 6 is a grievous wrong. Having firsthand knowledge as an intercessor on the ground, I tell you this is INCORRECT TERMINOLOGY. We were there for a truly peaceful effort, yet the mayor sent five busloads of bad actors into the crowd, among other actions with deliberate intent to shut down the national demonstration whatever way she could.
I’m glad to read your post. I have heard similar reports and know
That what you say really happened
Is very TRUE.
Father, I thank you that no matter how this administration is trying to fudge the truth of what is happening to this economy, your light will expose the darkness for what it truly is. Please open our leaders’ eyes and let them see truth. I bind the lies of satan that is being fed to them. Put a desire in their hearts to seek you Father for wisdom, guidance and direction regarding governing this nation. Let them know that you are the “Great I Am,” and none is greater than you. In Jesus’ name, I pray with thanksgiving.
Amen
Satan and his agents has no truth in their mouth and hearts. What do you expect from unfaithful people.
God will already prevail.
I so agree with Rochelle-small doses of arsenic as Hitler practiced during the Holocaust is the same as we are experiencing currently with this administration. I am praying against it. So few know the truth of the Bible and are easily sucked in by the lies and support of the media to further their agenda. I pray the Lord will stop the lies and cut off the wicked. Truth and justice will prevail. Amen!
Amen
More lies from the left: http://www.RichDrama.com/Lies
Lord, bring Salvation and Sanctification or bring down the Hamans and raise up the Mordecais. Bring down the Vashtis and raise up the Esthers!
thank you for clarifying these terms and bringing the truth out. In Ps 73 God will punish and deal with the wicked .The promises are Yes and Amen. Draw near to God ,seek him, read his word, decree and declare, as he will take care of the wicked.
Amen
Just recently I was made aware of a book written during the Holocaust, The Language of the Third Reich by Victor Kemperer. This redefining of words was practiced by the Nazis. He described it as small drops of arsenic which people don’t notice until they eventually kill.
As a fellow Catholic I can say that Biden is an apostate who, barring his conversion and repentance; is on a fast track to Hell; simply stated. Sad thing for him is that his brain is so far gone I don’t believe he could muster up the contrition. Unfortunately he, like all of us, will be rewarded or punished based upon our choices and his aren’t good.
Amen
This man, Biden, and the wifty liberal/radical agenda, must go , or this nation is doomed. Period. Lord Jesus, You know what a terrible mess that this man has made of our nation. Please, make a way for this ungodly, misguided “President” to be removed from office. he does not appear to be willing, or able to, repent of his wrong-doing. Please, place a Godly man in the White House, not one being manipulated by the Globalist Elite and their New World Order. Please restore our nation to traditional values, before it is too late. In Jesus’ name.
Amen
May God have mercy on the leaders of this nation. Please pray for the Lord God to defeat ungodly agendas and policies of our country’s leaders. Please pray Spirit of Truth to set them free from the lies of the enemies.
Amendment
We, as intercessors, were called to be such for times like these. Lord, help us to stay strong, to boldly and prayerfully approach your throne, and to oppose everything that is in opposition to your good and perfect will. Please guide us and lead us, our families, and our nation in all that we do. By faith we pray for what we do not yet see, and trust and believe that you will heal our people and our nation. The victory, we will see and praise you for, belongs to you. Thank you for your perfect love.
Amen
This kind of thing was described long ago in the dystopic novel “1984” by Orwell. It is called Doublespeak, and it means that any word means what the government says it means (often the opposite of the established meaning). It is used to manipulate people through language to accept whatever the government wants to say is true, and to dissuade dissent. It is high time the use of Doublespeak was stopped. It is a kind of manmade construction of the confusion of language at Babel. God, please help the manipulation of language to cease, and shield us from being manipulated by Doublespeak.
I love being able to have confidence in news being TRUE!’
First this usurped position by a insurrection at the ballot box is NOT our president.
The redefining of words is very concerning because it makes citizens seem a threat to common sense. A evil force is acting in treasonous ways to take down our nation and the world. I think the prayers offered by IFA could be more specific and use stronger language.
Well, “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” – redefining something doesn’t change the reality of what it actually is – but it does allow for people to be deceived and manipulated and controlled. I would add “vaccine” to the list because apparently the CDC redefined “vaccine” after the rollout of the covid “vaccine” because it definitely is not a vaccine by past, accepted medical standards and definition – ie. it provides no protection and doesn’t stop the spread of the disease. But rather than call it a “shot” like the flu shot, they just changed the definition. But calling it a “vaccine” made us assume it would be like the polio or smallpox vaccines – which provided protection and did not require continuous shots every six months. Another word I would add to the list is “woman” – apparently they want to redefine that term and the dictionary already did so. The term domestic terrorist would have been more aptly applied to BLM, antifa etc. based on their actions of assault, destruction and carrying weapons, burning buildings and killing people in cities across America for the entire summer/fall of 2020. Now those people were domestic terrorists. In redefining words these people are literally doing what Isaiah 5:20 warns about – “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” But we are not fooled! The wolves can wear wool all they want but they are not sheep! Parents wanting to speak at a school board meeting are not terrorists (domestic or otherwise), the covid shot is not a vaccine, (never was) January 6th was a peaceful protest by their own standards based on the summer of 2020, and at worst an unarmed, orchestrated riot for the left’s political purposes, abortion is not “women’s health care”, it is the taking of a human life, a “conspiracy theorist” is not someone who simply has a viewpoint different from your own, if the media and big tech label something as “disinformation,” you can be pretty sure it is the truth. The list is endless. They are using language to gaslight us and tell us we don’t see what we see – by relabeling reality in terms that don’t match our actual experience. Enough! I am so thankful for God’s Word – living, active and sharper than a two-edged sword. His word is eternal truth, by which I can measure everything else. It is the unchanging standard in this everchanging world. “Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will remain.” God’s words are truth, I will hang onto them. Truth cannot be redefined – the Creator of the universe has said -“I am the way, the truth and the life” – that’s enough for me. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
Also vaccine and man and woman have been redefined.
Lord you are ultimately in control. Yes we all have free will but we know that the ways of corruption are not your ways. I pray that the American people will see through the obfuscation and turmoil. Show us the right path and help us sift out the right people to vote for come this November and in 2024. While no man or woman is perfect there is definitely the lesser of evil when it comes to voting for the right politician. In Georgia I pray that Governor Kemp keeps his job because there is nothing but pure evil on the other side. Thank you father for your love and goodness always.

Precious Lord Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, I too pray for repentance in the hearts of both the Biden and Trudeau administration, but Lord, if they refuse to repent, if they continue to push unGodly, wicked agendas, then Lord in Jesus name I pray that you would remove them from authority and power positions replacing them with those who love you and will lead and govern in righteousness, setting examples and being illustrations of true love and values dear to you Lord. I also pray that you would continually move on the hearts of your people to seek you to repent, pray, consider, to vote wisely, in Jesus most precious name amen.

This administration is trying to define its own truth. Post modern thinking …
This is a spirit of leviathan/narcissistic stronghold. They have been given over to this seducing spirit.
Father please give us both wisdom and discernment knowing the satan is the Father of lies (John 8:44). Give us eyes to see and a heart to listen and know Your Word. And I pray also for those pushing these agendas. Break their hearts for the things that breaks Yours. Turn these Sauls into Paul’s that they may know true freedom in a personal relationship with Your Son. In Jesus name. Amen
Some years ago, Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association made a true and incredibly important statement, “the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun.” That is why the Biden Administration is bent on taking away guns from good men and women. It is a key feature of their plans to remake America. A corollary to this is “the only way to stop a wicked politician from destroying our country is through informed citizens who vote in sufficient numbers to remove him or her from office. Regrettably, reliable data exists to the effect that only 25 percent of American citizens that claim to be Christians actually cast ballots at the only time they have actual power to bring about change. Christians can pray very hard and write letters and decry the state of the nation, but if we don’t vote, knowing the actual character of the people on the ballot, we should not be surprised when the wicked triumph. God gave us the greatest system the world has ever seen. He expects us to use it. It is folly to expect God to do what He has entrusted us to do. He will not do what we can do, though when He sees us being obedient within the parameters of the system He brought forth through the Founders, He helps in marvelous ways. The election last year in Virginia is testament to that.
Thank you Father God for all the blessings you have bestowed on America. We are forever grateful for the freedoms we have to worship You and spread Your Word. Please continue to hear our prayers as we ask you to open the eyes and ears of your people and our children so they may see the evil among us and the sneaky destruction of our great nation by this administration. Hear our cries for healing of our land and resources and for protection from the evil that wants to destroy us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
In the Name of Jesus, we come against the evil of this administration! We call on you, Father, to rescue your people and move in this administration to open the eyes of these fools to the truth of who You are, and the almighty work your Son, Jesus, accomplished on the cross for all human beings, and your entire creation. If they refuse to listen or acknowledge you, Lord, have your way with them! Thank you for hearing our prayers of desperation in this time of such evil we are seeing in this world.
Yes, Lord, help us that we can hear your voice. Father open the eyes, ears of the people in America. Close the mouth of those ungrateful, those who don’t honor you Lord! The enemy is the one dividing, confusing, remove any power from those supporting Biden’s administrating. In Jesus’s name. Amen
Lord God,
You are worthy and sovereign over all things. You are in control of our country which seems out of control! Move in the hearts of those Christians who are still deceived by the lies of the enemy who has a foothold on our government.
Help them to open their eyes to the truth of what is going on. Wake up non believers too and bring them to Yourself. We pray for a revival in this land that cannot be compared to any other in size. We pray that you would soften the hearts of those in government and society who are in bondage to the evil one. Break the chains and set them free!! We ask forgiveness for the sinfulness of each individual and our nation. We deserve death. But Your word says in John 1:9 that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We trust You Lord in these times. Give us grace and courage to speak our boldly and make disciples in Your name. We love you Lord!!
Amen
Everyones using the word “TRANSITION”,which is the last & most awful stage of labor.
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
My prayer is that the people of our Nation, America, will wake up and realize we must fight against the Evil Agenda that the Biden Administration is trying to force upon our Nation. If people don’t like our Freedom they can leave!
So many are hurting especially those who drive to work and have families they have to feed. I am retired so I can choose to not drive but many can’t. Pray for common sense government.
Dear Heavenly Father I pray you move upon all people who don’t realize the terminology that is used by this administration to distort the truth of matters we are dealing with. Please bring clarity and discernment to the minds and hearts of all adults and teenagers and young children so that they are not deceived by these terms and labels that are given over the news media. Lord in the process, please cleanse the mainstream news media of their ignorance and their deception of what they are saying over national
television . Work in the news media’s hearts to realize that they are declaring the wrong things . Bring to them what is honorable, what is right, what is lovely, what is truth, what is edifying, what words are from you Lord. Thank you!!
The administration has also accepted the CDC’s redefinition of what a vaccine is. The Covid “vaccine” is not a vaccine at all. It’s an experiment on us all. A toxic jab.
Pray for God to remove all evil from the Administration of our country and those in leadership that are hurting our people. 2 Chronicles 7:14
John P
The Justce Dept Garland has a lot to do with no justice in this nation. Pray and agree with me that the enemy’s power shall be taken down in this agency. Jesus gave all authority on earth to take down evil and we need in prayer to use that authority now more than ever.
Hallelujia!
Satan, the great deceiver and the father of lies, hasn’t changed. He’s the same as he’s always been. You, Lord God Almighty, are Ligjt, and in You there is no darkness. Jesus, You are Truth, and You are the same yesterday, today and forever more! You are worthy of all our praise and in You are victorious!
Words and their meanings are important to God. In 1 Corinthians 2 He states: 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Stop this madness LORD!!! Please stop this madness. ONLY YOU LORD will be leading us to redemption. Not a political party ONLY YOU LORD!!!! May YOU wake up America to kneel in prayer asking your forgiveness and rise us up to your heavenly home🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The corrupt satanic Nazi democrats have perverted much of our language to allow Satan easier access to our children!
As it was with Obama , so it is with Abiden, they and the democrayts do whatever they like and the rest of us are forced to accept and live with it. America is being systematicallly desstroyed from within. What the enemies of America could not do, the democrats have done for them, God will act, and is acting now. The wrath of God is drawing closer to release everyday.
Unfortunately the evil penetrates both sides . We fight not only the obvious enemies but those slithering in the shadows. The great deciever has many unjust on both sides. God will expose all. 🙏
Hallelujia!!
Biden has been corrupted by Obama all along, his dementia is being abused by the administration. Does he really understand what he says? I brace myself to what he will announce next.
Jesus save Biden. He needs you Lord draw him with Your Holy Spirit. Cast out every stronghold in his life. Holy Spirit show him how to confess his sins and ask for forgiveness. And turn from his wicked ways and seek Your face and humble himself before you Lord. In Jesus’ Might Name. Amen
