For the ninth time in six months, the Trump administration is preparing to put a federal prisoner to death.
Brandon Bernard, 40, is due to be executed Thursday evening at the U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute in Indiana, as punishment for the murder of a young couple in Texas in 1999. The Justice Department plans another federal execution later this month, with three more scheduled in January.
In a statement on the resumption of federal executions after a 17-year hiatus, Attorney General William Barr said the death penalties were justified because the people sentenced to die had been convicted of "horrific crimes."

Funny how Biden’s abortion stance doesn’t pit him against the Catholic Church. Oh well, leaving a baby born after a botched abortion to be left out unclothed, I unfed and unloved so very humane! Do to an animal and you are publicly shamed, do to a human infant and you are a hero of the left!
