“Huckabee” Preview

Get your Fourth of July weekend off to an explosive start with a newsmaking new episode of “Huckabee” tonight on TBN! Former Trump aide Peter Navarro will finally join me to talk about the January 6th Committee and its egregious abuses of power. Compass Care CEO Jim Harden will talk about the threats against pro-life pregnancy centers. One of my favorite people, the hilarious Chonda Pierce, returns to the show. We’ll have a behind-the-scenes look at one of the biggest Fourth of July fireworks shows in America. And we’ll top it off with the music of rising Christian music star, Riley Clemmons.

We’ll light the fuse on this great show at 8 and 11 EST, 7 and 10 CST, and Sunday at 9 EST/8 CST on TBN.

Even worse

Remember last month, when it was reported that the US economy shrank at an annual rate of 1.5% in the first quarter of 2022, and everyone said, “Ooh, this is bad.” Well, that number has now been revised. It actually shrank by 1.6%.

Bird brain

Just when you think identity politics can’t get any loopier, meet the woman on TikTok who claims she and another woman close to her identify as birds – a cardinal and a blue jay respectively – because birds “don’t inherently have a gender.”

https://redstate.com/alexparker/2022/06/30/in-the-atmosphere-of-identity-the-skys-the-limit-swoon-to-the-sweet-song-of-bird-gender-n587157

I hate to break this to her, but birds do have a gender. The females lay eggs. I think this bird just laid an egg with this TikTok post. As noted at the link, she’s not a cardinal, she’s a cuckoo.


“Lightyear” bombs at the box office

“Lightyear,” Disney’s latest attempt to push wokeness on children, bombed in its opening weekend and has dropped 65% since then. But many “Toy Story” fans were also upset that Disney didn’t let rare Hollywood conservative Tim Allen reprise the voice of Buzz Lightyear, the role he created. Allen has now addressed that, and while he was quite diplomatic, it’s obvious he wasn’t wounded at not being asked to be part of this film (“I’ve stayed out of this.”)

Not missing much

I have a feeling you’ve never heard of the singer Halsey. But the way she harangues her own fans who walked out of a concert when she started lecturing them about abortion rights, I doubt you’ll have to worry about missing out on her long future career.

You need to read this

PJ Media has an exclusive article by J. Christian Adams that I’m not even going to try to summarize. It’s about what the Public Interest Legal Foundation turned up with a series of Freedom of Information Act Requests and the suspicious connections and interactions between progressive funders, leftwing groups, big corporations, federal authorities and state election officials. Zuckerbucks were only the tip of the iceberg. If you care about ever being able to trust elections again, read it all.

See you in court

New York’s Democrat officials seem determined to ignore the Supreme Court and continue pushing for more gun restrictions, despite having just been slapped down. Attorney General Letitia James is showing the same regard for the law in going after gun makers that she is in her great white whale hunt for Donald Trump. Click the link to see a must-read response to her from a gun rights legal organization.

Huck’s Hero Video

Here’s a valuable lesson for anyone thinking of assaulting a 7-11 clerk. Don’t do it in front of a black belt Jiu-Jitsu instructor who came in to buy Slushies for his kids. You might end up with your arms tied like a 7-11 pretzel.

More bad poll news for Democrats

The latest CBS News poll found that the issues of highest priority for voters are inflation, the economy and crime. Their lowest priority: investigating the January 6th riot.

More on this American hero

I reported yesterday on the sad news that the last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient, Hershel “Woody” Williams, had died at 98, and I shared the video of his appearance on “Huckabee.” But a hero like that deserves more than one day of tributes, so here’s another great article about his amazing life, his bravery and his humility.

Good judgement in Hollywood

West Hollywood is known as Los Angeles’ gayest neighborhood. It’s also one of the most affluent, and most liberal. And since the city council just decided to respond to a 137% increase in crime by defunding the police department, I have a feeling it’s about to become known as one of the most dangerous. But don’t worry: they’re replacing the cops with “safety ambassadors.” They call it “re-imagining public safety.” I commend them on their vivid imaginations.

https://redstate.com/jimthompson/2022/06/29/west-hollywood-defunds-police-for-safety-ambassadors-n586404

Also noted in that story: while slashing the police budget, West Hollywood tripled the budget for its Russian Arts Festival. This is why the word “Hollywood” has become synonymous with good judgement and intelligent priorities.


It’s official

Disney is no longer in the children’s entertainment business. Now, they’re just TRYING to see if they can get Walt to spin in his grave.

https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2022/06/30/disney-cant-stop-series-features-a-robot-getting-tampon-advice-from-a-trans-man-n586560


Vital necessities

All that deficit spending that the Democrats packed into the “American Rescue Plan” has fueled runaway inflation, but at least it helped pay for vital necessities. Like $825,000 for “oral historians” to research…”anti-racism” and “Latinx histories”?!  Or $359,097 for the NEH to create a "multiplatform project exploring the historical roots and persistent legacies of racism in American science and medicine." Or $50,000 for “reopening programs that teach Indigenous canoe-building and explore pre-colonial sea life."  

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/825k-american-rescue-plan-funds-oral-historians-researching-anti-racism-latinx

Well, that was certainly worth making food much more expensive. Let’s all pray that the next election rescues America from these people before we're all up a creek of red ink without a canoe.


Oops

Sure, let’s have the government keep more records on law-abiding gun owners. They’re responsible and trustworthy, right? It’s a “common sense” gun law. What could possibly go wrong? Whoops!

    RE: RedState.com--I signed up for blogs by Trump--NOT Redstate, but his own platform. I am now getting daily requests for donations to further things that they refuse to reveal-I have repeatedly asked for accountability as to where and what the donation funds are going--I get NOTHING--I get OVER 25 of these trump requests EVERY DAY--I am tired of having to manually delete these requests. I have repeatedly asked for these to stop--I get nothing--once per week is ok--25 or so per day is NOT--I warned that if the massive emails did not stop, I would be forced to unsubscribe. Turns out, there IS NO Unsubscribe button--contrary to Federal Law--Trump's policies may have benefited the Country--but he needs to get his freaking act together here --and Redstate is part of the problem-possibly more than trump(you will notice the name is now relegated to lowercase)--you have any influence with this person, you may want to convey these criticisms--he may be unaware of what redstate is doing--but that means he is woefully ignorant , or is simply ignoring the issue--doesn't bode well in either event

    Tucker Carlson said it best when he remarked that the leftists take all the joy out of life.

    I would like to be as clear as I can be: we do not know everything about science, but we do know about the genes and DNA of the human body. We know that there are some genes called X and Y. Babies born with two X genes are female. Babies born with an X and a Y are male. All the hormones and surgery in the works cannot change that. The human brain is not fully developed until the age of 25. How is it possible for children, many of whom are pre-puberty, to decide that they need to take powerful hormones and undergo drastic surgery that will change their lives forever and render them unable to function normally? How I it possible that parents who are legally held responsible for the welfare of their children have nothing to say about their child undergoing these procedures? How is it possible that highly educated doctors cannot fathom that children often get ideas that change weekly, if not daily? How can they think that mental issues will be cured by these drastic procedures? How can they not understand that children are highly suggestible.? This simply makes no sense to a thoughtful person who has ever read a book on biology. This country needs a mega giant mental hospital.

    "A woman on TikTok who claims she and another woman close to her identify as birds – a cardinal and a blue jay respectively – because birds 'don’t inherently have a gender.'"

    Product of the public schooling system, that. And possibly a product of the liberal indoctrination debt-mill known as "college." Also - if I identify as a hamster does that mean I no longer have to pay taxes? Because hamsters aren't legally required to pay taxes. Ergo, if my "authentic self" is a hamster, I ought to be exempt from paying so much as a cent of the taxes which fund this corrupt regime's efforts to destroy the liberties, culture, traditions and history of America and the Western World at the behest of their globalist Davos masters.

    Both sad and scary to see how many feds bought off by dark money. Sitting in smoke filled backrooms scheming like the pagan priests of Jerusalem in ancient Israel. Only God can deliver us now and hHis Church needs to take a stand.
    I guess the Marxist judge Brown is a shemale as they say on the streets. A little of both sexes!
