DAILY BIBLE VERSE 

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mark 11:25

Terrified of DeSantis

By Mike Huckabee

The Biden White House must be terrified of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis running for President in 2024. How else to explain something so desperate as to reduce shipments of life-saving monoclonal antibody treatments to Florida under the guise of “more equitable distribution”?

The HHS claims it wants to make the therapies available to more states because currently, just seven states account for 70% of the orders. Question: If those states are ordering the therapies and the other states aren’t, then why is it necessary to take them away from states that want them to send them to states that apparently don’t? Why punish Southern red states like Florida and Texas for being more aggressive and efficient at providing cutting edge therapies, just as they were more efficient at distributing vaccines?

Gov. DeSantis is already negotiating with a major pharmaceutical company to buy the therapies directly, doing an end-run around Biden and the HHS. That’s a great definition of “efficiency”: finding a way to avoid dealing with the federal government at all.

Popular singer is blocked on Facebook

By Mike Huckabee

Facebook has blocked musician John Ondrasik (who records under the band name Five For Fighting) from buying an ad to promote his new single, "Blood On My Hands." The song blasts the Biden Administration for abandoning Americans and Afghan allies to the Taliban and singles out Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley.

https://freebeacon.com/media/facebook-blocks-ad-for-song-critical-of-bidens-afghanistan-withdrawal/

Facebook claims the song violated their policy on social issues: "Ads must not contain content that exploits crises or controversial political or social issues for commercial purposes." However, they’ve allowed ads for BLM, defunding the police, and other controversial leftwing issues.

This could be a case in which rock star Ondrasik and Mike Huckabee actually had the exact same reaction. Ondrasik said, "I'm glad Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, Dylan, Creedence...and (CSNY) didn't live in the age of (Facebook) overlords."

That was also my first thought: Imagine if musicians had had to get “Masters of War,” “Eve of Destruction” or “For What It’s Worth” past today’s Silicon Valley speech police protecting LBJ from criticism. Today’s documentary footage of Vietnam protests would be accompanied by the only music of the ‘60s they would have been allowed to be heard: “Sugar, Sugar” and “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (“I’ve Got Love In My Tummy.)”


Democrats, the media and spending

By Mike Huckabee

While we’re on the subject of comparing Joe Biden to LBJ, some media outlets are trying to do that favorably by comparing the $3.5 trillion spending boondoggle bill he’s attempting to force through Congress to FDR’s “New Deal” and Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society.” Anyone who studied history before it was subverted by leftist politics should feel his blood run cold at the very thought. Those two massive expansions of government are almost entirely responsible for the bloated, Constitution-shredding government, corrosive welfare state and back-breaking national debt that we’re now enjoying.

Like Biden, those Presidents claimed that their massive spending and government programs were going to result in countless jobs, as if jobs were created by government, not the private sector when government gets out of the way and off its back.

At The Hill Newspaper, Amity Shlaes has a MUST-READ article about FDR’s New Deal, its similarities to the plan by Biden and today's Democrats, and why in most ways, it failed to work and made things worse for years.

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/552354-biden-as-the-new-fdr-its-the-same-old-bad-deal-for-jobs

In a statement that could easily apply to today’s Democratic socialist schemes, the chief economist at Chase Bank, Benjamin Anderson, said of the New Deal that after failing by playing God, the government chose not to retire but simply “to play God more vigorously.”

Finally, a hat tip to Instapundit for reminding everyone of this 2015 study by UCLA economists that found that FDR’s New Deal actually prolonged the Depression for seven years past the point when it should’ve ended. Coincidentally, the Obama-Biden Administration managed to drag out the 2009 recession for seven years past the point when it should’ve ended. And now, Biden’s trying to do it again with the pandemic shutdown recession.

These people just keep repeating history, maybe because they keep flunking it.


Check out this NYC Freedom Rally video

By Mike Huckabee

Check out the video of this “Freedom Rally” against vaccine mandates, complete with anti-Biden chants, in the deep-red Republican stronghold of…New York City?

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/09/16/watch-huge-anti-vaccine-mandate-protest-in-nyc-more-chanting-against-biden-n444171

It was organized by a far-right organization called…er…”Teachers for Choice.” Some were carrying signs reading, “My body, my choice.”

Silly people. They should know that “choice” only applies to abortion. The government makes all other choices for you.


Biden tells the truth

By Mike Huckabee

In the same sense that “Man Bites Dog” is considered news, so is this story: “Biden Tells Truth”:

Justice for J6

By Mike Huckabee

The security fence has been put back up around the Capitol Building in advance of a rally Saturday in support of January 6th arrestees who are not accused of committing violence, yet some are being held indefinitely without charges and allegedly under appalling conditions such as solitary confinement. The rally is called “Justice for J6.”

https://www.dailywire.com/news/thats-a-setup-capitol-fence-comes-back-up-trump-weighs-in-on-rally

The organizer said they’ve already held two events, at the prison and the DOJ, and there have been no incidents. He urged anyone who might commit violence to stay away.

However, many Republicans, including President Trump, say they’re staying away from the rally and urge others to as well. Trump told the Federalist that it’s “a set-up”: “If people don’t show up they’ll say, ‘Oh, it’s a lack of spirit.’ And if people do show up they’ll be harassed.”

There’s also the potential that leftist agitators from groups like Antifa will show up dressed as Trump supporters and start violence. Not that that would EVER happen, of course. But if they wanted to, they probably could, since most of them who were ever arrested for rioting or attacking federal buildings were immediately released.

I think it’s also worth noting that Democrats like Nancy Pelosi insist that it’s crazy to think a border wall would provide any security, but the minute they feel even slightly threatened, what happens? They put up a security wall.

Huck’s Lack of Self-Awareness Award

By Mike Huckabee

Today’s winner of the Huck’s Lack of Self-Awareness Award is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Having accused President Trump of being unhinged from reality, she has now declared President Biden’s foreign policy to be “perfect.”

    Glad to see the fencing going back up. It shows that the government is afraid of "we the people," which is how it should be.

    The 8 1/2 months of the Biden Administration, should be compared to Adolph Hitler thundering through Europe.
    What I saw on the Texas border in the last 24 hrs. is such an overreach of despicable actions, not counting the death of 10 innocent people in Afghan by the US Kabul drone strike. Shameful! This whole administration is shameful & totally out of control.
    No matter which way the "Justice for J6" rally goes, they'll blame Trump.
    Governor, how many of your readers ask you, what can we do until 2022? Pray!

    Mike
    I agree to avoid the DC protest. There will be protests at State Capitols and that is where we should protest. Governors can intervene for these political prisoners not DC.
    As for RINO and Establishment toads -- to hell with them...we don't want those traitors at our rallies. Justice for Jan 6!!!

    DeSantis is not the only one loco joe needs to be afraid of, how about all of us ordinary Christians. We have the same Spirit living in us that raised JESUS from the dead. When we humble ourselves and pray, seek His Face and turn from our wicked ways God will heal our land. God is not slack concerning His promises. THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL ! That includes the bill gates of hell too.
