Joe Biden will spend the second week of his presidency in much the same way he spent his first: signing a slew of executive actions intended to roll back certain Trump administration policies while implementing his own.

Biden this week will focus on immigration, health care, climate and other areas, with each day following a designated theme. Here are the items Biden is expected to take action on, according to a memo obtained by The Hill.

Monday: ‘Buy American’ day

Biden is expected to sign an executive order that directs agencies to strengthen requirements so that they acquire goods and services from American businesses and workers. . . .

Tuesday: ‘Equity’ day

Tuesday will see Biden sign a broad range of executive orders related to racial equity.

The president is likely to establish a policing commission and reinstate Obama-era rules on the transfer of military-style equipment to local law enforcement. He is also expected to sign an executive order directing the Department of Justice to improve prison conditions and begin to eliminate the use of private prisons.

Other executive actions lined up for Tuesday include a memorandum directing agencies to strengthen engagement with Native American tribes, a memo ordering the Department of Housing and Urban Development to promote equality in housing, and an order disavowing discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. . . .

Wednesday: ‘Climate’ day

Biden will announce Wednesday plans for a U.S.-hosted leadership summit to take place on Earth Day as one of multiple actions aimed at addressing the climate crisis.

A memo outlining looming orders also signals Biden will sign an executive order that initiates a series of regulatory actions to “combat climate change domestically and elevates climate change as a national security priority,” though it does not offer additional specifics.

The omnibus order will also reestablish the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, as well as a memorandum urging agencies to make decisions based on available science and evidence. . . .

Thursday: ‘Health Care’ day

Biden on Thursday will take the highly anticipated action among pro-choice advocates of rescinding the so-called Mexico City policy, which bans the use of U.S. funding for foreign organizations that provide or promote abortions.

The policy, described as a “global gag rule” by reproductive health advocates, was first instated by then-President Reagan, and has been repeatedly rescinded by Democratic presidents and reinstated by Republican presidents in the years since.

Biden will also order a review of the Trump administration’s controversial changes to the Title X family planning program, which required family planning providers participating in the program to stop providing or promoting abortions to remain eligible for funding. . . .

Friday: ‘Immigration’ day

Biden will build on some of the immigration-related actions he took on his first day in office with a few additional executive orders to be signed on Friday.

The president, according to the memo obtained by The Hill, is likely to sign an order related to regional migration and border processing that will rescind Trump administration policies around the asylum system and direct the creation of strategies to address root causes of migration from Central America. . . .

The president will also sign an order directing an immediate review of the public charge rule “and other actions to remove barriers and restore trust in the legal immigration system, including improving the naturalization process.” . . .

I believe each of the items on Biden’s agenda are a disappointment.. Each one is intended to undo all the wonderful things President Trump accomplished.
He calls himself a Catholic but does not act as one. I pray that God will renew his mind and stop allowing others to do his job.
May God have mercy on the United States of America, a nation created under God by mighty men of God.

Father, I don’t presume to know Your immediate plan. You put the stars in the sky, not I! But I do know that Moses and others approached You to consider those of us left who honor You, worship You, love You and believe! Consider us, Father, remember us. No matter what goes on, remember us! We are here and we are not going away unless You call us Home. So, Father, give us a spirit of boldness, of an obvious lack of fear, of joy because we know You. No matter what happens, remember us! Pour out Your blessings on us in the midst of this upcoming chaos and evil. Remember us, as we remember You! In Jesus Almigjhty Redemptive Name

A LIST OF ACTIONS BIDEN WILL TAKE THIS WEEK!

Monday: Executive Order to Buy American. Oh, by the way, I canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline destroying 11,000 new jobs.

Tuesday: Executive Order Equity Day. Oh, by the way, I was responsible for the 94 Crime Bill that disproportionally locked up African Americans.

Wednesday: Executive Order Climate Day. Oh, by the way, I’m not going to enforce other countries that are polluters to clean up their act.

Thursday: Executive Order Health Care Day Promoting Abortion. Oh, by the way, I’m the most religious president in U.S. history.

Friday: Executive Order Immigration Day. Oh, by the way, I’m going to let illegal immigrants into our country during a deadly pandemic and during a period of job losses.

His call for unity disappeared on his first day in office when he signed executive orders placing him to the far left of even his far left democratic supporters!

But I have to say, some of his later executive orders have shown a bit more common sense…

Proverbs 6:16-19
Complete Jewish Bible
16 There are six things Adonai hates,
seven which he detests:
17 a haughty look, a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that plots wicked schemes,
feet swift in running to do evil,
19 a false witness who lies with every breath,
and him who sows strife among brothers.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray Joe Biden will follow Your agenda each an every day of each and every day. I pray he will be just the same as you called Cyrus, Your shepherd and one who does everything You want. I pray this will confound those who think him pocketed for their favors. You are the Author of our lives and the Creator of time and space. Fill them both for Your Glory and our good and for those who continue to oppose…Paul said it well, “it is terrifying to fall in the hands of The Living God.” And he knew this well. Thank you for hearing my prayer, it is offered in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Savior.

Kenneth Copeland wrote an article titled “A Prayer for Our Government”. He wrote, in part:

1 Timothy 2:1-3 says that we are to pray, intercede and give thanks for kings and all people in authority. This is God’s command to every believer today. Praying for godly leaders is productive toward God’s plan and purpose for our nation. The Bible says the heart of a king is in the hand of the Lord. He can turn it however He wants, so your prayers are important. Here is a confession for you to use in prayer for our nation and its leaders. Pray it in faith, believing, and remember God watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12).

We are prayer warriors and Intercessors, and God hears and answers our prayers. God ordained the founding fathers to establish the republic of the United States, and ordained the previous administration to lead the country.
Lets keep praying!

    I like the emphasis on positive praying rather than strongly reacting to what appears to be wrong from our point of view. I agree God can indeed change the hearts of rulers, and we should pray to that end.

    I don’t know if Biden is motivated more by political reasons or by Christian (and possibly misguided) reasons, but after reading about what others have said, I am willing to believe the latter. I discussed the earlier post about allowing men to complete in women’s sports, and my wife (a Democrat) agreed that such a thing is wrong. Can we do an intense focus on what Biden purportedly is trying to do (help the disadvantaged) and build a case for how his actions should be modified to better accomplish it? If we can build credibility, maybe we can even eventually help him to see that abortion is wrong. I understand the early leaders were out to curtail the growth in the black population.
