The film "Hocus Pocus" is coming soon to your local theater, but there is a lot of hocus pocus already happening during the presidential campaign. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer mocked the sacrament of Holy Communion during a skit in which she placed a Doritos chip on the tongue of a kneeling fellow feminist, making it seem like she was dispensing the body of Christ.

At the Al Smith Catholic dinner, President Trump cracked a joke about Kamala skipping the charity event because she was taking communion from Whitmer in Michigan. It wasn’t far from the truth.

At one of her own rallies, when pro-life protesters shouted, “Jesus is Lord,” Harris replied with a grin, “You guys are at the wrong rally.”

Whitmer had been hailed by Mike Allen of Axios as a rising star in the Democratic Party and was among those initially regarded as a possible vice-presidential candidate. She campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris on July 29, 2024, in Ambler, Pennsylvania.

Former Michigan GOP chair Ron Weiser once called her a witch, a comment interpreted as a joke by some. He quickly apologized.

To my knowledge, Whitmer is not a witch, but she has made her reputation as a full-blown pro-abortion feminist, and we can easily find “mainstream media” reports of radical feminists embracing witchcraft.

So-called hocus pocus or occultism seems to be a strain of thought in women associated with the Democratic Party.

Remember that Jean Houston of the Foundation for Mind Research helped First Lady Hillary Clinton “communicate” with the long-dead Eleanor Roosevelt during a mystical “channeling” session. Trying to become the first female president, she lost to President Trump.

In a previous column, I discussed the evidence of modern-day witches organizing for Harris-Walz and casting spells on Trump. They are mostly motivated by “abortion rights.”

However, Harris has no children of her own, and her husband Doug Emhoff got a nanny pregnant and may have pressured her into having an abortion. Emhoff, presented by the media as a role model of masculinity, has also been accused of drunkenly assaulting an ex-girlfriend.

Steve Robinson of the Maine Wire reports that Emhoff was “celebrated” by Maine Democrats when he visited a Portland abortion clinic earlier this year. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner once provided the dirty secret behind abortion – it keeps women sexually available to men.

For those who doubt the existence of an occultic strain of thought in the Democratic Party, consider that the Washington Post’s longtime religion reporter and Washington insider, Sally Quinn, admitted in her book Finding Magic to her belief in the occult, including casting spells on her enemies, reading Tarot cards, and using Ouija Boards. Quinn was married to Ben Bradlee, the longtime executive editor of the Washington Post, who boasted of bringing down Republican president Richard Nixon in the Watergate affair and tried to take down Republican President Ronald Reagan.

During Trump’s first term, the paper tried to bring down the president through coverage of the Russia-gate hoax.

Whitmer’s religion is listed on the website Vote Smart as simply “Christian.” During COVID, Whitmer joined the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Michigan for “a virtual service of worship and conversation.” The Episcopal Church once unveiled a “Pride shield” in celebration of LGBTQ+ “inclusion.” Like Whitmer, the church is pro-abortion.

Paul Long, Michigan Catholic Conference president and CEO, had declared that her blasphemous “skit” had gone “further than the viral online trend that inspired it, specifically imitating the posture and gestures of Catholics receiving the Holy Eucharist, in which we believe that Jesus Christ is truly present. It is not just distasteful or ‘strange;’ it is an all-too-familiar example of an elected official mocking religious persons and their practices.”

While Catholic opposition to Whitmer’s anti-Christian behavior is understandable, it must be noted that corruption in the church is a real problem. Consider that the Jesuit Catholic journal America ran an article by a self-described “Catholic woman” who declared herself enthusiastic about the Harris “campaign of joy,” saying, “I’m feeling it.”

The Roman Catholic Church has long had a problem with the Jesuits. The Jesuit journal America published "The Catholic Case for Communism," written by a so-called Catholic Communist.

In response to the Catholic “joy” over Harris, one traditional Catholic woman responded, “There is absolutely nothing joyful about killing innocent babies. Just pure evil.” Another said, “I suspect that all those ripped and torn aborted babies aren't ‘feelin’ it!’”

Still another noted that the slogan “Strength through Joy” was a trademark of the Nazi regime. Indeed, a book is based on telling the story about the giant Nazi leisure and tourism agency known as “Strength through Joy.”

The Holocaust Museum features a display about how Nazi leaders hoped that the programs of “Strength through Joy” would improve the health and productivity of the German workforce. The museum even features a photograph of a “Strength through Joy” car.

In Kamala’s world, it would be an EV that has no gas and runs out of charge. But you can be sure she will keep the abortion clinics operating.
