Today's Commentary: CBS Vice President fired -- Sick response to Vegas -- A lifelong battle -- Gender fluidity -- Complete security -- News Bits
At least one of them got a sharp wake-up call: CBS vice president and top senior legal counsel Hayley Geftman-Gold posted on Facebook that she was “actually not even sympathetic (because) country music fans often are (R)epublican gun toters.” She soon deleted that, but not before the Daily Caller captured and reported it. Apparently, she viewed a crowd of country music fans surrounded by chain link fencing as a literal “basket of deplorables” whose lives mean nothing if their political views disagree with hers. She will have a lot of time to think about that, since she was just fired by CBS.
It is ironic that she seems to think Donald Trump is so evil that his voters don’t even deserve to live. Let’s hope that during this period of forced unemployment, she thinks about these words and how this should have been every American’s first reaction, including hers:
“Hundreds of our fellow citizens are now mourning the sudden loss of a loved one, a parent, a child, a brother or sister. We cannot fathom their pain, we cannot imagine their loss. To the families of the victims, we are praying for you and we are here for you…In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one, and it always has. May God bless the souls of the lives that are lost, may God give us the grace of healing and may God provide the grieving families with strength to carry on.”
That was President Trump’s reaction to the news from Las Vegas. And the left still can’t figure out why Americans rejected them?
Sincerely,
Mike Huckabee

Sick response to Vegas
By Mike Huckabee
I freely admit to being a conservative, and I enjoy debating my views with those who differ. But I hope I never become such a partisan that I allow that “us-vs-them” mentality to obliterate my humanity and sense of decency. Sadly, too many people let their political beliefs take over their souls and blind them to larger, more important things. Like those whose first reaction to the horrific shooting in Las Vegas at a country music festival was to hope that the victims were Trump voters. Yes, believe it or not, some people not only had that sick response but felt the need to broadcast it to the world via social media instead of keeping it between them and their psychiatrists or clergy.

A lifelong battle
By Mike Huckabee
An atheist attorney is renewing his failed 40-year lifelong battle to get “In God We Trust” removed from US currency. When he inevitably ends up standing before the Lord for judgement and is asked how he used the precious life he was given, I’d really love to hear how he explains the past 40 years.

Gender fluidity
By Mike Huckabee
According to a new research study from Germany, boys in church choirs begin competing for attention when there are teenage girls in the audience. I think it’s a sign of how far down the rabbit hole on “gender fluidity” we’ve gone when that actually requires a research study, and it’s treated as “news.”

Complete security
By Mike Huckabee
Aaron Cohen is a former member of Israel’s Special Ops terror unit. He told Fox News that Israeli authorities understand that you can’t guarantee complete security, so they institute layers of security so if one fails, the next might not. In the case of the Las Vegas shooting, he said there were bag checks to keep guns out of the event, but the surrounding hotels didn’t check guests’ bags for guns – understandable, since this has never happened before. But in the future, for events with a large crowd near a hotel or other tall building, maybe they should scan guests’ baggage or have undercover officers inside those buildings. Those are “common sense” measures that might actually work. So why aren’t we talking about doing that?
