Winds from Heaven Topple Biden’s Christmas Tree
President Benjamin Harrison and his family put up a Christmas tree in the White House in 1889, but it wasn’t until 1923, exactly 100 years ago, that the first National Christmas Tree was lit by President Calvin Coolidge. During the succeeding years, not one decorated tree has fallen – until now – and some consider it a sign from heaven itself.
At approximately, 2 p.m., Tuesday, November 28, the 40-foot Norway spruce from the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia was toppled by an estimated 40-mile-her-hour wind gust, which isn’t considered a “high wind.” A high wind is a sustained wind speed of 40 to 57 mph, however, the sustained wind speed at the time of the incident was no more than 20 mph.
Many conservatives and others critical of the Biden presidency have taken to social media to express their opinions, with one wag writing, “National Christmas tree falls DOWN. Perfectly summing up Joe Biden’s presidency!”
Others relate the fallen Christmas tree to the liberal war on Christmas and Washington’s ever-increasing descent into wickedness, which has earned the U.S. capital the nickname “Sodom on the Potomac.”
Work crews scrambled to salvage the tree, which is scheduled to be officially lit Thursday (November 30). But as one individual posted on Fox News, “It will be a lot easier to salvage the tree than it will be to salvage Biden’s foundering presidency.”
