It’s Hysterically Funny That The Democratic Nominee For President Joe Biden Has A Long And Enthusiastic History Of Racism And Segregation
On May 22nd, Joe Biden said to radio host Charlamagne, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
On May 22, Biden sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a popular radio show. Near the end of the interview, as he was questioned on policy by host Charlamagne, Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Oh how painful it must be to be a Democrat in the woke age in which we live in 2020, how utterly stupefying it must be to support riots in the streets to ‘end racism’ while simultaneously attempting to support a candidate for president you is a racist. This is a juggling act you are forced to do to maintain your membership in the Democratic Party in 2020.
Aside from being a serial molester of women and children, Joe Biden for nearly half a century in public office has made continual racist statements, and worked to pass laws that promoted segregation and unequal treatment to people of color. The internet is forever, and video proof of his deeds and actions are very easy to come by. We have posted some at the bottom of this article for you to view and consider.
The Democrats have made a deal with the Devil in picking Joe Biden as their nominee, only choosing him because they think his reduced mental condition will make him easy to control should he win the presidency. But they have to support an avowed, lifelong racist to do that, and guess what? It is highly likely that Biden will lose to Donald Trump, and they will have supported a racist who only wound up losing.
That’s a heck of a party platform, don’t you think? #BlackLivesMatter #PowerMatters
Joe Biden is a Racist Who Loves Police Brutality
FROM LEFT VOICE: Joe Biden’s history of enthusiastic racism stretches back decades. From the moment he entered the U.S. Senate in the early 1970s, he vocally opposed busing to achieve school desegregation. Today he disputes this fact, claiming he only opposed federally mandated busing. Nevertheless, “opposing busing” has long been racist code for opposing Black and brown children going to school with white children. At a time when “separate but equal” was beginning to become politically unpalatable, Biden’s leadership against busing, in the most generous possible interpretation, provided cover for segregationists to continue their work.
In the past day, Joe Biden asked a black reporter if he was a junkie and said the African American community has no diversity of thought. He’s either having serious mental issues or is a racist, yet the national media continues to carry his water while he sits in his basement. https://t.co/nSJWeauLSU

Joe Biden represented Delaware in the Senate, a state that essentially refused to desegregate schools through a combination of hair-splitting laws and white parents shifting their children to private schools en masse. Private school enrollment in Delaware is now among the highest in the nation, at 17.6 percent in Biden’s hometown of Wilmington — the vast majority of them white. Meanwhile, disproprotionately Black public schools are systematically starved of funds. This kind of de facto segregation is exactly what Joe Biden promoted in his anti-busing campaign.
Ahead of the 2020 South Carolina presidential primary, a focus group was asked about this very portion of Biden’s record. One woman in the group asked “are we honestly being asked to to believe he is a segregationist?” Evidence points to yes.
Twenty years later, having risen to the prominent position of chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Biden presided over confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas to become the second Black Supreme Court justice. The hearings became a crucible for the particular combination of racism and misogyny at the heart of the United States when law professor Anita Hill, also Black and who had previously worked for Thomas, came forward with sexual harassment allegations against him. The all-male, all-white committee Biden chaired questioned her in brutal detail. He refused to take her allegations seriously, launched no investigation, and failed to accept testimony from multiple other witnesses and survivors of Thomas’s harassment. With Biden’s collusion, Thomas was confirmed and today is one of the Court’s consistent right-wing votes. Reportedly, he’s also Trump’s favorite justice.
Biden’s dismal record here is especially important to note, since one of the main arguments deployed in his favor is that he will appoint better judges than Trump has to various federal courts.
Perhaps the most egregious example of Biden’s racist use of power is 1994’s Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the crime bill he wrote and continues to support vocally to this day. The bill is a laundry list of the worst aspects of the mass incarceration state. It led to a boom in the number of police officers and prisons, lengthened prison sentences, and created financial incentives to keep people in jail. It created 60 new death penalty offenses as well as the infamous “three strikes and you’re out” rule, which inflicted a life sentence for almost any crime, even ones considered very minor, if there were two prior convictions for “serious” or “violent” crimes. Since then, people have died in prison for things like stealing a dollar in loose change from a parked car, possessing less than 1 gram of a drug, and attempting to break into a soup kitchen. Biden had also co-written the Anti-Drug Abuse Act a few years earlier, during the so-called crack epidemic. It amplified sentencing disparities between crack cocaine users, who were mostly Black, and powder cocaine users, who were mostly white.
All these new laws affected people of color, especially Black and Indigenous people, the most, leading to a massive increase in incarceration, policing, and the destruction of Black communities. While the crime bill was very popular at the time, it came under heavy criticism from those who knew it would worsen carceral capitalism. Now considered widely to be a racist failure, some previous supporters have disowned it. Only someone truly committed to racism would maintain his support of the bill, as Biden still does. “On balance,” he says, “the whole bill … did in fact bring down violent crime.” And, he contends, “The crime bill didn’t increase mass incarceration.”
So this happened… “If you got a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or for Trump then you ain’t Black.”

Biden’s racism can also be viewed through the lens of the infamous “civility” of the U.S. Senate — a body that serves as a playground in which rich and powerful Democrats and Republicans can disagree lightly during working hours while maintaining deep social, political, and financial connections. Biden was an enthusiastic participant in this tradition through his friendship and fruitful working relationship with noted segregationist and vile racist Strom Thurmond, the senator from South Carolina.
“I disagreed deeply with Strom on the issue of civil rights, and on many other issues, but I watched him change,” Biden said as he eulogized his racist friend in 2003. However, it’s not clear that they disagreed all that much. They worked together early in Biden’s Senate career on the 1983 Comprehensive Forfeiture Act, which increased the use of civil asset forfeiture by police departments across the country. Civil forfeiture is legalized theft, allowing cops to seize and sell any property they say is involved in a crime, even if the owner is never even arrested or convicted. It is used mostly against working class and poor people, especially if they are Black. Since 1999, the federal government alone took in $36.5 billion in assets through civil forfeiture, a percentage of which was used to buy military grade weaponry that was then allotted to local and state police agencies and has been deployed against protesters. Biden played a pivotal role in ensuring the law was passed, whipping the Democrats into voting for it and ensuring that Thurmond got the credit for the law.
“We don’t treat the opposition as the enemy,” Biden said while campaigning for president recently. “We might even say a nice word every once in a while about a Republican when they do something good.” Apparently, Biden thinks the police stealing from Black communities in order to repress them more thoroughly is good.
Another line of argument Biden’s supporters use to divert attention from his racism is that he was vice president under Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States. It doesn’t just smack of “I have a Black friend” side-stepping, it’s even more flimsy.
Obama’s own record on race while president isn’t a glowing one. He often relied on symbolism, rather than material action — such as with the infamous “beer summit” between a white police officer and the Black Harvard University professor the cop arrested for entering his own home. When he wasn’t ignoring race, he insisted it was a “both-sides” issue. For instance, in his famous 2008 “A More Perfect Union” speech, Obama spoke about solving racism in America if only everyone forgave each other. It’s the same “both-sides-ism” whenever a white liberal shares a photo on social media of a cop and a protester hugging (often minutes before the cops turn violent).
During the anti-racist, anti-police uprisings in Ferguson following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014, Obama criticized the protesters. “There are productive ways of responding and expressing those frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk — that’s destructive and there’s no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts. And people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts.”
Those words are echoed in how liberals are talking about protesters today. Obama, though, had more power than most liberals and used it to expand a racist system. It cannot be a defense of Biden that he served as vice president — a stepping stone to power in itself — under a Black president who pursued mass incarceration, surveillance, the war against drugs, imperialism, land theft from Indigenous people, and other policies of neoliberalism that disproportionately target people of color.
On May 22, Biden sat down for an interview with “The Breakfast Club,” a popular radio show. Near the end of the interview, as he was questioned on policy by host Charlamagne the God, Biden said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Black people on social media were quick to point out the absurdity of a white man feeling entitled to determine who is or is not Black. In response to the swift backlash, Biden gave the requisite milquetoast apology. However, Charlamagne zeroed in on the problem. “I don’t ever care about the words and the lip service and the apology is cool, but the best apology is actually a black agenda … They’ve got to make some real policy commitments to black people. We’ve got to stop acting like the fact that blacks are overrepresented in America when it comes to welfare, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, drug addiction, crime, coronavirus—that’s no accident. The whole function of systemic racism is to marginalize black people.”
While Biden may have learned the right words to say in 2020 to avoid accusations of racism, as in his “plan for Black America,” he lacks the policies, actions, or record to back them up. Racism isn’t what you say; it’s what you do. And Biden continues to advocate for racist action worldwide, from criminal penalties for immigration to increased military spending, even after his recent and calculated about-face on prisons and sentencing.
Biden doesn’t really stand with Black Americans. Faced with the clear choice to stand with protesters fighting racist state violence or with the police brutalizing them, it is no surprise that he sought a pseudo-middle ground, saying, “The idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person, coming at him with a knife or something, to shoot him in the leg instead of in the heart. There’s a lot of different things [policies] that can change.”
Apparently, Biden thinks the things that can change are limited to what part of an unarmed protester’s body the police should aim to shoot. The only way to read this is that Biden, an enthusiastic proponent of state violence, just wishes the cops would carry it out a bit more politely and with more plausible deniability. Either way, given his long support for racist policies and his blithe dismissal of any questioning of that record, there is no reason to believe Biden in any way stands with the protesters against racist state violence, or that the way the police terrorize Black communities would be different under a Biden administration than under Trump.
Joe Biden has said, “I’m not sorry for anything that I have ever done.” We should take him at his word, and look at his record. Even if a bourgeois politician could or ever would “solve” racism in America, Joe Biden is not that person. He has spent his life fighting for policies that make life worse for Black, Indigenous, and white working-class Americans. Why should anyone believe he will do anything different as president?

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As America Turns 250, Zohran Mamdani And The Democratic Socialists Of America Ironically Take Control Of New York City
Zohran Mamdani As The Socialist Kingmaker Is Turning New York Into A Political Machine As The Democratic Party’s Left Wing Gains Real Power
You talk about irony, man, this is one for the record books. As America is already knee-deep in celebrations of our 250th year of our founding as a Constitutional Republic, the recently-elected Socialist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has launched a coup. House Democrats were left stunned on Tuesday night after two of their colleagues — including the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — lost primaries to left-wing, Mamdani-backed Socialist challengers. Like it or not, we’ve now come face to face with National Democratic Socialism under the leadership of a fiery, Jew-hating, charismatic leader. Hmm, what does that remind you of? Achtung!, America, the wolf is at the door, and he’s hungry.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiasties 1:9 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Trump’s declaration that “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!” may sound like a bold defense of the Republic, but it collapses under the weight of his own actions. You cannot publicly warn America about communism while publically lending credibility to the most prominent Socialist mayor in the country. That is not conviction, that is contradiction. Mamdani does not need Trump to endorse his ideology; he only needs Trump to normalize his presence, elevate his status, and treat him as a legitimate governing partner. And Trump has done exactly that. Once that happened, the Socialist left has already gained something far more valuable than applause: respectability. This is how radical movements advance in America. They do not usually arrive wearing the uniform of revolution; they arrive through elections, headlines, photo-ops, federal meetings, political compromise, and carefully managed public relations. A man can be denounced as dangerous on Monday and then treated as a respectable stakeholder on Tuesday, and suddenly the line between opposition and accommodation disappears. Trump may think he is controlling the narrative by calling Mamdani a communist, but the more he centers him, meets with him, and speaks of him as someone he can work with, the more Mamdani becomes a national figure instead of merely a New York City Democratic Socialist. The real danger is not only Zohran Mamdani’s socialism, but the broader collapse of moral clarity in the American political class. At 250 years old, America is not being threatened merely because radicals are running for office; she is being threatened because too many leaders who claim to oppose radicalism are helping make it respectable. Today we visit the Democratic Socialist Revolution underway in America, and show you just what that might mean for our immediate, short-term future.

Warning: The Passion Translation Is Not A Bible, But A Charismatic Paraphrase That Adds To Scripture And Promotes New Apostolic Reformation Doctrine
The Passion Translation Is Not A Bible, But A Charismatic Paraphrase That Adds To The Words Of God And Promotes New Apostolic Reformation Doctrine
The Passion Translation controversy is not merely an argument over Bible version preference, translation style, or whether modern English sounds more “readable” than old English. It is a much deeper issue than that. At its heart, The Passion Translation represents the ongoing attempt by modern charismatic Christianity to replace the fixed words of God with emotional experience, mystical interpretation, and so-called “apostolic” revelation. That is why Bible believers are sounding the alarm, and rightly so.
“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 (KJB)
The Passion Translation is marketed as a Bible, promoted like a Bible, quoted like a Bible, preached from like a Bible, and used devotionally by millions as though it were Scripture. But when examined honestly, it reads far more like a charismatic paraphrase than a faithful translation of the words of God. It does not simply tell the reader what the verse says. It repeatedly tells the reader what Brian Simmons and the Passion Translation team think the verse should feel like. That is a major difference.
The King James Bible says:
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5 (KJB)
“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6 (KJB)
God’s words are pure, full stop. Man is not invited to improve them, intensify them, romanticize them, update them with charismatic catchphrases, or insert “heart language” that the Holy Ghost did not place there. A Bible translation should be judged by its faithfulness to the text, not by how emotionally moving it sounds. The Passion Translation reverses that order. It often prizes tone, atmosphere, feeling, and devotional impact over textual accuracy. That may appeal to the modern worship culture at Hillsong and Bethel, but it is deadly to Bible doctrine.
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (KJB)
This is where the New Apostolic Reformation connection becomes impossible to ignore. NAR-style Christianity thrives on modern apostles, prophets, impartations, signs, wonders, fresh revelation, destiny language, kingdom-now expectation, and emotional encounter with God. The Passion Translation fits that ecosystem perfectly. It gives that movement a Bible-sounding text already flavored with its own vocabulary and assumptions. It is spiritually deadly if you value Bible truth. When a charismatic preacher stands up and says “the Bible says,” but then reads from a paraphrase that has already inserted charismatic interpretation into the verse, the listener is no longer hearing the words of God. He is hearing doctrine smuggled into the form of Scripture. That is not Bible translation, that’s doctrinal manipulation.
The King James Bible says:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB)
The Passion Translation does not train people to study, it trains them to feel. It gives them an instant devotional high, a warm spiritualized impression, and a mystical experience of the verse — but too often at the expense of the actual words on the page. That matters because doctrine is built on words. Paul did not say vaguely inspiring things by accident. The Holy Ghost gave precise words, precise grammar, precise doctrine, precise distinctions. That is especially important for Church Age truth. Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and the rest of Paul’s epistles cannot be safely handled by a paraphrase that rewrites doctrine into emotional experience.
A new believer reading The Passion Translation may come away thinking the Christian life is mainly about supernatural encounter, prophetic destiny, impartation, emotional intimacy, and mystical union language. But a Bible believer reading the King James Bible learns sound doctrine, rightly divided truth, the finished work of Christ, the difference between Israel and the Church, law and grace, prophecy and mystery, and the believer’s standing in Christ. That is the difference between spiritual emotion and spiritual truth.
The Passion Translation’s defenders often say, “It helps people love the Bible.” But that is the wrong defense. A paraphrase that changes the words of Scripture is not justified because people enjoy reading it. Golden calves are always popular. The question is not whether people like it. The question is whether it is faithful to the preserved words of God, and it is not.
The Bible says:
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 (KJB)
Truth sanctifies. Not mood. Not atmosphere. Not spiritualized paraphrase. Not the passion of a translator. The words of God are the issue.
The Passion Translation is especially troubling because it comes at a time when much of professing Christianity is already moving away from doctrinal preaching and toward emotionally charged worship experiences, prophetic impressions, dreams, visions, and spiritual entertainment. In that environment, TPT does not correct the error. It feeds it. It gives the modern church exactly what it already wants: a Bible that sounds like Hillsong, Bethel, and the NAR prayer room. That is not a compliment.
A Bible believer does not need a Bible that sounds like the worship industry. A Bible believer needs the Book that reproves, corrects, instructs, divides truth from error, exposes false doctrine, and magnifies the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)
Notice the first thing Scripture is profitable for: doctrine. Not emotional atmosphere. Not spiritual goosebumps. Not a “fresh word.” Doctrine.
The Passion Translation weakens that because it blurs the boundary between what God said and what man wants the reader to feel. Once that boundary is gone, anything can be made to sound biblical. NAR impartation theology can sound biblical. Modern apostolic authority can sound biblical. Dominionist kingdom language can sound biblical. Mystical union language can sound biblical. And why? Because the paraphrase has already done the theological work before the reader ever opens the page. That is why the warning is necessary.
The issue is not that Brian Simmons is passionate. The issue is not that people find the wording beautiful. The issue is not that it has helped someone in a difficult season. The issue is whether Christians have the right to call something “the Bible” when it repeatedly expands, interprets, and reshapes the inspired text. They absolutely do not.
The King James Bible believer is not being narrow-minded here. He is being obedient. God did not tell us to preserve the feeling of His words. He gave us His words, and His promise to preserve them forever. There is no promise to preserve a ‘message’.
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89 (KJB)
The Passion Translation is unsettled by design. It is interpretive, expansive, experiential, and movement-friendly. It is the kind of Bible product that could only thrive in a generation already trained to value experience over exposition, the Laodicean Church Age. That is why it must be duly marked and avoided. The faithful pastor, teacher, parent, and Bible believer should warn others plainly – The Passion Translation is not a trustworthy Bible translation. It is a charismatic paraphrase that repeatedly adds to the text, changes the tone of doctrine, and aligns naturally with New Apostolic Reformation thinking. Use it as Scripture, and you will eventually absorb its theology. Stick with the Book.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump Platformed Fauci, Biden Pardoned Him, And The American People Remain Waiting For Answers That May Never Come
Anthony Fauci Is The Perfect COVID Villain For Donald Trump Because He Absorbs Public Fury While The Biden Pardon Keeps Prosecution Out Of Reach
Everyone is talking right now about the explosive closing shot that Tulsi Gabbard was instructed to level against Anthony Fauci as she was being forced out of office. Bringing Anthony Fauci to justice is quite tantalizing indeed, I’m all for it. But wait a second. If Fauci is the perfect villain, Operation Warp Speed is the evidence that the villain didn’t act alone. The Deep State pushed it, Big Pharma profited, social media censored it, and Biden may have mandated. But, but, but… Trump rushed it, promoted it, and claimed credit for it as the ‘Father of the Vaccine’. You cannot take down Fauci without implicating the people who made his reign of terror possible, people like Donald John Trump.
“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.” Proverbs 19:5 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Donald Trump did not merely allow the vaccine program to happen. He championed it. He branded Operation Warp Speed as one of the greatest achievements of his presidency. He wanted credit for compressing years of vaccine development into months. He even allowed himself to be called, and reportedly called himself, the “father of the vaccine.” That phrase may haunt him more than anything else in the COVID record. Because if the mRNA rollout is now part of the reckoning — and it must be — then Trump is not standing outside the scandal pointing in, he is standing inside the room. Fauci may be the face of the lockdowns and the public-health arrogance, but Trump is the man who took ownership of the rushed and quite deadly vaccine program that became the foundation for the mandates, the pressure campaigns, the censorship of injured people, and the destruction of trust in American medicine. Trump can rage against Fauci. He can release documents. He can blame Biden’s pardon. He can even say the Deep State protected the guilty. But he cannot easily explain away the fact that he still wants applause for Operation Warp Speed. He wants to condemn the COVID regime while preserving his trophy from that same regime. That, dear Christian, is a politically fatal contradiction. Today we bring you Tulsi Gabbard’s last message in its entirety, and revisit the dark time in world history that will be forever known as The Plannedemic.

A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

- I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio. You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures. I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to. I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too. You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.
