The Devil Makes The Pots...But Is Still Short On Lids

 

 

 

 When contemplating all the evil that men do in this lost and fallen world in
which we live, my paternal Italian grandfather often quoted the old world idiom,
 "Il diavolo fa le pentole e non i coperchi’" which translated, simply states,
"the Devil makes pots and not lids."

This old saying came to my mind this morning after reading an op-ed piece in
The Hill by Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, 
  concerning the sudden about-face by the Trump-Vance Administration in their decision
 to resume former President Joe Biden's forced taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.

 Ms. Dannenfelser claims that Trump initially froze Title X grants for the organization,
but then, quietly unfroze them in January.  He is now actively re-funding the nation's
 largest provider of abortion services courtesy of American tax payers.

The same man who, on Easter Sunday no less, threatened to wipe the nation of Iran 
off the world map, and one week later, after a purported war of words with the Pope,
 posted an offensive image of himself as Jesus Christ on his own social media platform,
    decided it is better to bow his knee before Moloch, alongside the pro-abortion Democrats
 in Congress and other high-end lobbyists, and replenish millions of dollars to fill the
  coffers-or is it offering boxes?- at the largest altar of child sacrifice in the world.

Why this sudden shift in policy?  Is President Trump trying to attract more votes 
 for the upcoming mid-term elections by softening his stance on abortion?
It seems more than apparent that this is exactly what he is doing. But it
also seems like a high price to pay for something that may not happen at all.

 As Ms. Dannenfelser rightly asserts, "There is little evidence that funding Planned
Parenthood, or softening positions on abortion will meaningfully shift independent
voters in large numbers. But there is ample evidence that such moves will dampen
enthusiasm among pro-life voters who already feel sidelined...When these voters
perceive that their priorities are being ignored-or worse, contradicted- it becomes
significantly harder to mobilize them."

So, if the Republicans fail miserably in the mid-terms, will Trump once again
  blame the loss on pro-life Americans as he did after he lost the 2020 election?

"the Devil makes pots and not lids."

The message of this old saying, again simply put, is that despite all the evil
we see happening in the world, and this does not exclude America, where
 certain people act as if they are above the laws of both God and man,
 truth and justice will one day ultimately prevail. 

 Someone who is hiding something and are up to no good can be likened 
 to cooking with a pot without a lid.  Eventually people will look into the
 pot to see what's cooking, or the contents will boil and spill over, and 
 thus expose the person in charge of the pot for whom they really are!
