A Fork Full Of Manure

By Mike Huckabee

As thousands of illegal immigrants continue streaming across our border, and getting released on the US side with no court dates (only 13% even check in as they’re ordered to), Vice President Kamala Harris finally released her five-pronged plan to deal with the problem. It has to be seen to be believed.

https://nypost.com/2021/07/29/harris-releases-migration-strategy-amid-border-crisis/

Talk about a fork full of manure. The various prongs are heaped with high-flown liberal fantasies about fixing the “root causes” of illegal immigration into America, like “combating corruption, strengthening democratic governance, and advancing the rule of law” and “promoting respect for human rights, labor rights, and free press” in Central America. All well and good, as future goals. But, maybe, in the short term, we might consider CLOSING THE DOOR!!!

It’s like asking someone to help put out a forest fire that she started, and seven months later, she hands over an essay on the history of combustion. And it’s a D- essay. If she and President Biden really want to know the root cause of our current illegal immigration crisis, they can find it in the nearest mirror.

Meanwhile, a new cry has gone up for Biden to appoint someone else as an illegal immigration czar. Say, I know someone who’d be perfect! He has a proven track record of reducing illegal immigration, and he left his last job on January 20th, so he’s probably tanned, rested and ready.

A Sad Day In The House

By Mike Huckabee

It was a sad day in the House Thursday, and a sign of just how radical the Democrats have become, when for the first time in 45 years, the House passed on party lines a Medicaid spending bill that didn’t include the Hyde Amendment. That’s the amendment that prevents taxpayer money from being used to fund abortions, something opposed by a majority of Americans.

https://redstate.com/beccalower/2021/07/29/democrats-blow-up-the-last-bipartisan-refuge-in-congress-n418763

It also didn’t include the Weldon Amendment, which prohibits agencies that receive federal funds from discriminating against entities because they refuse to provide or fund abortions.

Later that night, House Democrats passed a State Department funding bill that dropped the Helms Amendment, which prohibits using taxpayer money to fund abortions in other countries. A Marist poll shows that’s opposed by 77% of Americans and supported by only 19%, but the Democrats care more about the abortion lobby than the will of the people.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/07/29/breaking-house-passes-bill-to-force-taxpayers-to-fund-abortion-n1465634

The Democrats have always been the more pro-abortion party, but at least there used to be room for pro-life Democrats. Not only have they all been driven out, but now, even the reasonable compromise of not forcing pro-life taxpayers to fund the killing of children in the womb is gone.

That’s been replaced by denouncing every disagreement as racist, which California Rep. Barbara Lee tried here, saying, “These provisions have long had a terrible and disproportionate impact on low-income women and women of color. Getting them off the books will be a huge step forward for reproductive and racial justice.”

In short, the Democrats now claim to be fighting racism by making it even easier to abort black babies, who are already greatly disproportionate victims of abortion. In opposing voter ID, Democrats argue that the disproportionate impact of any policy on certain races is prima facie proof of racism. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, a eugenicist who thought that “inferior” races should be weeded out, must be looking up and smiling.

The good news is that these radical changes aren't likely to survive in the Senate. But it should send a long-overdue wake-up call to everyday Democratic voters that this is no longer your father’s Democratic Party. The leadership is now solidly a far-left, pro-death cult of radical extremists. And the one thing I do agree with them on is that extremists are dangerous to America and should not be in positions of power.


Biden Gives Us The Straight Facts About COVID-19

By Mike Huckabee

Thursday, President Biden held a press conference where he promised to give us the straight facts about COVID-19 and vaccinations. To say the least, many were skeptical of that.

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/07/29/joe-biden-loses-it-calls-fox-fax-snaps-at-peter-doocy-and-wrecks-his-own-argument-on-masks-n418622

The big takeaways from Biden’s speech were that Americans should get vaccinated, and he would require civilian federal workers to “attest” that they’ve been vaccinated or wear masks and undergo regular tests and travel restrictions. He also encouraged local governments to use leftover COVID relief funds to pay $100 to people who get vaccinated.

(Just as an aside: isn't making people prove they're vaccinated a form of requiring ID? And since blacks and Hispanics are less likely than whites not to be vaccinated, that would mean it's an ID requirement that disproportionately affects minorities, or as the Democrats call that, "RAAAAAAACISM!!!" But I digress...)

Many critics are taking this as a sign that the government is ramping up for tighter restrictions and even more lockdowns over a spike in cases that’s not that high and that isn’t accompanied by a big increase in deaths because the Delta variant isn’t as dangerous. All this paranoia, and the DOJ’s dubious ruling that it’s legal for companies to require workers to get vaccinated, is sparking big companies like Google, Twitter, Netflix and Facebook to require their employees to get vaccinated.

(Some legal scholars question the DOJ’s reasoning, arguing that the Geneva Convention recognizes the right to refuse to have experimental drugs injected into your body against your will, and the vaccines have received only emergency use authorization by the FDA. Please note that I’m not discouraging vaccination – I’ve been vaccinated myself – I’m just talking about other people’s right to say no.)

I expect quite a bit of pushback even from government workers (the postal union already is rebelling), and even more if they try to use COVID to hang onto the abusive power the government seized last year.

Meanwhile, Mark Theissen in the Washington Post (surprisingly) helped put this pandemic/”Dem panic” into perspective by pointing out, using the CDC’s own numbers, that only 4,072 vaccinated Americans have been hospitalized with symptoms out of 161 million, for a breakthrough infection rate of less than 0.003%. Of those hospitalized, 849 have died, for a death rate of 0.0005%. The median age of those hospitalized with breakthrough infections was 74, and an Israeli study found that only 4% of those hospitalized with breakthrough infections had no comorbidities.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/victoria-taft/2021/07/29/joe-sacrifices-military-readiness-and-freedom-over-stats-showing-vaxxed-people-are-more-likely-to-die-from-bee-sting-than-covid-n1465668

For comparison, that means that if you’ve been vaccinated, you are less likely to die of COVID than from a car crash; seasonal flu; a lightning strike; choking on food; sunstroke; drowning; a dog attack; or being stung by a bee. Yet some people want to bring back draconian pandemic measures.

Somehow, I get the feeling we're all being stung.


Seeing A Disaster When There Isn't

By Mike Huckabee

As a number of commentators are pointing out, the once-free nation of Australia is quickly devolving back to its roots as a penal colony, with the government using the spike in COVID cases to justify outrageously draconian measures. Residents of high-transmission sites in Sydney are being ordered to stay within three miles of their homes and wear masks even outdoors. The government is sending in military troops to enforce the measures. This is in reaction to a rise in cases that has resulted so far in 13 deaths in Sydney out of a population of nearly 5.4 million.

https://www.westernjournal.com/looks-like-people-facing-total-medical-tyranny-military-rolls-major-city-enforce-covid-lockdowns/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=huckabee

I’m worried that our leaders must be looking at Australia as a role model while the rest of us should be looking at it as a cautionary tale.

Chief among those “leaders” who are seeing disaster in a minor spike of a less dangerous variant is, not surprisingly, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has finally found a way in which she thinks police can be useful.

https://www.westernjournal.com/pelosi-bends-capitol-police-will-stunning-power-grab/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=huckabee

Republicans immediately launched a protest of Pelosi’s threat to arrest people who don’t wear masks even if they’re vaccinated. They called it, “Kiss My Mask.” They’d better be careful: protests are only legal in the Capitol when Democrats pull them.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/republicans-democrats-mask-mandates-cdc

Related: While Democrats are excoriating fully-vaccinated Republicans who refuse to obey Pelosi’s mask edict, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was photographed reportedly walking in the halls of Congress, carrying her mask in her hand.

https://www.westernjournal.com/aoc-busted-dire-health-risk-damning-photo-floating-around-dc-report/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=huckabee

That gave conservatives an opening to mockingly denounce her as a homicidal maniac and a dire threat to public health who’s putting people’s lives at risk.

Of course, that’s just exaggeration for satirical effect. I think the only thing coming out of her mouth that poses a serious danger is her words.


Not the Type of News We Normally See Out of Oregon

By Mike Huckabee

An Oregon county judge dismissed a challenge by a gun control group seeking to overturn Columbia County’s ordinances making it a Second Amendment sanctuary county where local officials would not enforce state or federal gun control laws.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/oregon-court-rejects-second-amendment-challenge

Full details are at the link, but here’s what’s interesting to me: the gun control groups, including Mike Bloomberg’s lawyers, argued that for local officials to refuse to enforce gun control laws violated state and federal law.

Do they really want to establish a precedent for that, considering how many blue counties and cities claim they have a right not to cooperate with federal immigration authorities? If it’s legal to protect the non-existent right of a criminal illegal immigrant not to be deported, why is it illegal to protect the actual Constitutional rights of US citizens? Logical consistency is not their strong suit.

Fed Up With Biden's Border Policy

By Mike Huckabee

Another reason why Americans are fed up with being told to lockdown and mask up to prevent the spread of COVID is that President Biden is simultaneously letting thousands of untested illegal migrants swarm into the US, where they’re being allowed to stay in hotels, eat in restaurants, ride buses and generally act as superspreaders.

It was just reported that the number of COVID-positive detainees has increased 900% from 14 months ago, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is fed up with hearing Biden scaremonger about COVID from Washington while waving it into Texas like the welcome wagon.

    You have said a number of times that you have had 'the jab.' That was your choice but not the choice of many Americans. You might want to check the numbers you quoted from the CDC. It seems there is a CDC whistleblower who disputes the numbers being published by the CDC. As you have pointed out on a number of occasions, the vaccines have been authorized for emergency use, the actual trials necessary to know more about how well it works against the virus and how it might affect those receiving it have not been performed before a new drug is approved for public use. When we start messing around with DNA and RNA we have no idea what the long term effects will be. Science isn't perfect and neither are those we call 'scientists.' Actually, there is quite a number of those we address as scientists who deny intelligent creation. As a former minister I would think you would have a problem with that particular view. Dr. Fauci's claim that those attacking him are only attacking science is complete baloney. Fauci has flip-flopped a number of times on Covid issues and has publicly admitted that he lied on some issues. Big Pharma and government seem to be 'joined at the hip' and this has been going on for a long time. We Americans have been putting our faith in the wrong place for way too long, including many who identify as Christians. We are told through the prophet, Jeremiah, that those who put their faith and trust in man will be cursed. In Psalm 40, verse 4, we are told,"Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies." We are too willing to trust in a product for which we know little to nothing about. We have no idea of the truth of the 'poison' we are putting into our bodies to kill another 'poison.' Scientists have been wrong about many things. Science is not infallible because man is not infallible. In the United States it is the right, or it used to be the right, of each individual, to choose their path. I respect those who choose to get vaccinated, that is their right. I would hope that those who do will respect the right of those who choose not too take the vaccine.

    How about instead of giving people $100 for getting vaccinated, use that money, from the govt. to get ID's for everyone who doesn't have one? And on the ID's the govt. can put yes vax, or no vax. That would be a wise use of taxpayers money to get everyone a govt. ID who doesn't have one. Then there would be no reason not to have an ID, as the govt.will provide that too. Then it can be used for voting to prevent voting fraud.

    Regarding Kamala. She has a toxic personality and is very unlikable. She reminds me of a similarly hateful person named Hillary. She was selected by the Dems because she is minority female and not because she had any qualifications. Qualifications are not necessary for Dems. For example, check out Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and Bernie. Bernie's only qualification are being Communist/Socilalist. Our 2 party system has become the Communists and the Swampers..

    The lost souls sitting in Waashignton DC that includes the
    Rupublicans located there. The American people are about
    to tell you what they think of this latest COVID-19 scare. Watch
    when carefully in those districts the residents of those districts
    and those communities commence to put those illegals in the
    Congress persons district that have done nothing
    but sell HOT AIR.

    Be prepared for the people living around the area commernce
    to put up fences to keep them in there and not in the general
    area and especially watch especially in the Democracrtic run
    cities and states if this latest scare destroys businesses. Alway
    remember "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND AND THOSE
    INVOLVED MAY NOT LIKE THE RESULTS IN THE RETURN
    FORTHCOMING.
