I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for President Biden, that he would walk in Your will and Your ways.
Reading Time: 6 minutes

According to Breitbart, “President Joe Biden expressed concerns after he answered questions from reporters Wednesday, as he and his administration struggle to address multiple crises around the world.

Biden answered questions about the gas shortage and a question about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, before moving to exit the room.

When reporters shouted additional questions, Biden paused and replied, “You guys are bad. I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions. I’m supposed to leave. But I can’t resist your questions.” . . .

Biden has repeatedly told reporters he would be “in trouble” for taking questions from reporters at White House events — even though he has only held one press conference since becoming president.

“Look, I’m sorry. I’m going to — this is the last question I’ll take,” Biden said in April after taking questions from reporters. “I’m really going to be in trouble.”

Biden also repeatedly said he would “get in trouble” during a CNN town hall in February.

“I’m going to get in trouble,” he lamented to CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “I was supposed to only talk two minutes in an answer.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki admitted in an interview she advises President Biden not to take questions. . . .

According to The Daily Mail, “A group of more than 120 retired military officers have written to President Joe Biden to tell him his election was less than legitimate – while questioning his mental acuity.

The letter echoes former President Donald Trump‘s claims of widespread election fraud – which have not been borne out in the courts – and comes on a day when Rep. Liz Cheney ripped Trump for his claim that the election was ‘stolen.’  . . .

The group calls itself ‘Flag Officers 4 America’ and consists of retired military officers including generals and admirals.  . . .

The letter, called an ‘Open Letter from Retired Generals and Admirals,’ was reported by Politico.  . . .

‘Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature’s approved controls using government IDs, verified signatures, etc,’ they write.

‘Today, many are calling such commonsense [voter ID] controls “racist” in an attempt to avoid having fair and honest elections. Using racial terms to suppress proof of eligibility is itself a tyrannical intimidation tactic,’ they write.  . . .

Editor’s Note: Read the full letter here.

The letter is a counterpoint to impactful public statements by national security officials who weighed in for Biden during the campaign. One such effort came when 10 former secretaries of Defense penned an extraordinary op-ed in the Washington Post warning there is ‘no role’ for the U.S. military in the outcome of U.S. elections, and stating the importance of a peaceful transfer of power.

That letter came three days before the Capitol riot.

The signers of the attached their names to the letter. Among them was Maj. Gen. Joe Arbuckle, who served in Vietnam and later commanded the US Army Industrial Operations Command (IOC) at Rock Island, Illinois. . . .

The effort drew immediate pushback from military members who lamented people who wore the uniform jumping into an organized political effort.  . . .

Jim Golby, an expert in civil-military relations, blasted the effort in Politico as a ‘shameful effort to use their rank and the military’s reputation for such a gross and blatant partisan attack.’  . . .

Members of the military vote in elections and have protected constitutional rights, but military leaders have warned of the risks of intruding in domestic politics.

In the run-up to 2020, retired Gen. James Mattis denounced Trump, whom he served as Defense Secretary, in a June response to the events at Lafayette Square. ‘We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution,’ Mattis wrote.

Other signers of the anti-Biden letter included include Vice Adm. John Poindexter, who was convicted in the Iran-Contra Affair.

Also signing on was Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc, who lost the Republican primary in 2020 to challenge Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, and is planning another Senate run.

Another signer, Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, who was termed anti-Muslim for his comments to a Christian congregation, CBS previously reported, after Boykin said of a Somali warlord: ‘I knew that my God was bigger than his.’  . . .

I pray this country will read and listen to these retired officers. They know what they are talking about. They are people of great integrity and they love this country! We should heed “wise counselors” advice. We have never had such a mentally compromised President….everyone should be very concerned!!

I join Rev.Franklin Graham in his prayer and comments vis Pres. Biden on Fox News. And Lord, I trust in the work of Your Living Word to be the “discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (HEB 4:12) of the President and those behind him.
