GOP Report On Wuhan Lab

By Mike Huckabee

Monday, Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee issued a report that the preponderance of evidence, including recently uncovered evidence, points to COVID-19 being accidentally released from the virus lab in Wuhan, China, sometime before September 12, 2019.

Texas Rep. Michael McCaul said the Wuhan virologists were “playing with fire. They were genetically manipulating at the lab this gain-of-function that was taking place." McCaul called for top researchers involved with the Wuhan lab to be sanctioned and for Peter Daszak, the head of EcoHealth Alliances that sent $3.4 million in NIH grants to the Wuhan lab, to be called to testify before Congress.

McCaul also accused the Chinese Communist Party of engaging in “the greatest cover-up in human history.” I don’t know if there’s an award ceremony for that, but if so, I hope the CCP remembers to thank all the US-based social media sites that made their win possible.

USWNT Is Knocked Out

By Mike Huckabee

Does taking a knee before a soccer game to show your fealty to BLM curse a team to lose? Or does it just cause knee strain? Either way, it doesn’t seem to have been a very healthy strategy for the US Women’s Olympic Soccer team.

Before athletes continue prioritizing BLM over winning games, maybe they should take a closer look at the organization they’re promoting, which doesn’t seem to make improving black lives much of a priority. They could start by watching Ami Horowitz’s new expose, “Inside Black Lives Matter.” Here’s my interview with Ami from this weekend’s “Huckabee” on TBN. Brace yourself for some shocking material.

Trans Weightlifter Flames Out

By Mike Huckabee

To the surprise of many, New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, the first transgender Olympic athlete to compete in women’s events, flamed out and lost to weightlifters who were, you know…actually born female.

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/08/02/heres-how-that-transgender-weightlifter-fared-at-the-olympics-n420030

As the article at Redstate.com notes, defenders of allowing biological males who’ve “transitioned” to compete against women will treat Hubbard’s failure as evidence that they have no unfair physical advantage. But there were two major factors in this case that worked to counter Hubbard’s unfair advantage. The first is age: Hubbard didn’t start taking female hormones until the age of 34 and is now 43, by far the oldest person in the competition.

The second is that weightlifters don’t all lift the same weight. They choose how much they’ll lift with the total of three lifts comprising their scores. By attempting to lift 120 kg (264.5 lbs.), 125 kg (275.5 lbs.) and 120 kg (failing on the first and third lifts), Hubbard tried to lift too much weight. I hope she didn't give herself a hernia. Some might attribute this to “male ego,” but I’m sure that was surgically removed.

Frankly, Hubbard’s loss was the best thing that could have happened to the transgender movement. Imagine how it would have looked on TV to millions of viewers if Hubbard had cleanly lifted so much weight, then stood there towering over the competition and accepting the gold.

Also as noted, Hubbard still got lots of adulatory press coverage for “making history” while the actual winners of the event were completely overlooked. None of the stories that I saw that fawned over Hubbard’s “accomplishment” even mentioned the winners. I had to do a Google search and dig deep into the Olympics website to discover that the gold went to China’s Li Wenwen, the silver to Great Britain’s Emily Jade Campbell and the bronze to American Sarah Elizabeth Robles. Congratulations, ladies: you’re the ones who made Olympic history.


Ilhan Omar Wants To Spend Other People's Money Again

By Mike Huckabee

Rep. Ilhan Omar and some of her fellow far-far-left colleagues are pushing a bill they call the SUPPORT Act (I guess that sounded better than the HAMMOCK Act) that would give $1200 a month to people making less than $75,000 a year or heads of household making less than $112,500 a year, plus $600 per child. This would be a first step toward a national “guaranteed income.” Because paying people for doing nothing is working out so well right now.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ilhan-omar-guaranteed-income-1200-monthly-checks

Omar declared, "Poverty is a choice. For too long we have prioritized endless growth while millions are homeless, hungry or without healthcare. We as a nation have the ability to make sure everyone has their basic needs like food, housing and healthcare met.”

Hoo-boy, where to start? I guess with the fact that America already takes care of those who genuinely need food, housing and healthcare. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year on programs like Medicaid, Section 8 housing and SNAP food assistance. If we wanted to spend even more on those programs, maybe we could secure the border and stop letting millions of illegal immigrants suck up so much public assistance funding that could go to Americans, especially veterans. Just spit-balling here.

Second, prioritizing growth has enabled us to create the most dynamic economy in the world, one that was creating plenty of jobs and rising wages up until a Chinese virus and Democrat politicians strangled it (and somehow, Trump got blamed for that.)

I do agree with her on one thing: in some cases, poverty is a choice. Don’t get me wrong: there are plenty of people who are poor through no fault of their own. But then, there are those who make the mistake of listening to the false promises of leftist politicians who promise them things for free in exchange for their freedom. Like a subsistence wage for no work. Leftists hope you choose to stay in poverty because that keeps you dependent on government and them in power.

But one of the problems with socialist ides like this is that there is no magical forest full of money trees, so all that free stuff has to be paid for by someone else. As soon the people paying for it realize it’s not worth it to keep producing when the government is just going to take away the fruits of their labor and give it to the non-productive, then they become nonproductive, too.

And that’s when America becomes Venezuela.

    As Biden continues to mislead the country the purpose is to keep the Illiterate portion of his supporters more confused and dependent on Biden’s government Biden has a feeling the illiterates are catching on to the power structure the Dems are putting in place. Open borders and the entrance of illegals are the party’s only hope of keeping imbeciles like Biden and the CCP in the office they have. The feeling is 2022 may be the beginning of the end for the Dems however the CCP will take its place as it is already imbedded in all of our society the money buys power and right now the CCP has invested in our universities and all forms of education government offices including the republicans party they will always show up after the fight is loss new conservatives are the country’s only answers before they are bought off.

    The republicans party has little support from me as it is late to solving problems problems always win when policies go against the American population with the exception of Donald Trump, Trump had to fight the Deep State with about 11 people on the lawmaking side the deep state is more powerful than the CCP which Trump was defending against so to look at Trump as a fighter is an understatement Trump is an exceptional warrior who had to fight communist with a feebleness army of GOP senators and house lap dogs

    Early this morning Fox News was on the tv and Chicago and its murder rate was a topic Pete brings up a fact about the the rate of prosecutions is almost nonexistent and Kim has no desire to convict murderers and the girl takes the focus off a major problem by interrupting and using a talking point of no interest to deter focus of a solution to gang warfare in the city of Chicago by conviction of these criminals which of course is a no brainer no wonder fox is losing viewers fox has a few guys levin Pete Dan tucker Jesse and a few others that will get me to watch when I have time to watch my problem is the wife feels somewhat addicted to the feeble shows women seem to get hooked on soft reporting skirting the hard issues that require tough solutions

    If the virus release from the Wuhan Lab were truly accidental, there would have been horrified apologies and an immediate investigation as to how this could have happened and how to prevent such a horrific occurrence from ever happening again. Of course, this did not happen. There was an immediate cover-up with info destroyed and doctors silenced. There was also the fact that people were allowed to travel to countries all over the world from Wuhan, except to cities within China. Why do politicians keep stating that the proliferation of COVID 19 was accidental? Where is the evidence that the virus was not purposefully created and released?

    Dear Servant of the People,
    the very energetic Mr. Vladimir Zelensky.

    The most Presidential project you could execute today is to UNILATERALLY send the remains of Rabbi Nachman to Jerusalem.

    This is the kind of operation every world leader in his right mind will be forced to express approval for. For the spiritual among people it is a big deal but for Ukraine, it is very affordable. The Return On Investment is especially good in the Corona Era.

    This is more than a dream project for Ukraine at a time when Holodomor type events are beginning to reappear all over the globe. Ukrainians more than anyone else should be weary and pre-emptive.

    Dear Mr President, as great as the reward will be if this is done before Rosh Hashana.... just as great, the danger of ignoring this message, to immediately make good on the divinely inspired promise of Mr Leonid Kravchuk.

    I can't thank you & your staff for all your newsletters & opinions. I have the highest respect for all the honest information & knowledge of the all the daily news, good or bad. Since the US has fallen so fast & so far down the well in all aspects of our government, how are we ever going to come back to normal? We all can see the damages being done in '9' months & we have until Nov. 2022 to hold on, which is such a long way off before the left totally destroys this beautiful country we hold dear to our hearts. The Republicans have to start using the same language against the Democrats like they constantly use against the Republicans (white supremacists, fear mongers, etc.).
    How could the dems sleep nights when the outrages violence continues across the US & citizens dying daily & the weekends are even worse? I've said it before, & I'll say it again, "THEY HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS"!
    I've recently read there are going to be more democrats from across the US to fly to DC & support the Texas dems. Governor Huckabee, have you heard about this?
    I also believe just for starters with the invasion at the border is treason & Biden & his minions should be charged as such!!! Marxist is all around us. Destroying us from within, right in front of our eyes.
    Governor, how do we hold on?
    I was just reading one of our local websites from my area locals how many of our grocery stores, pharmacies, retail stores, etc., have been having people walking out with goods without paying & the employees were told not to stop them for their safety. I was shocked because there hasn't been anything in our local newspapers. I live in a democrat state, CT (Sens. Blumenthal, Murphy), but nothing near NY, Ill, OR, & the others, so far!

    Some time back you had a Rasmussen Report on Voter integrity in NV and referred to NV and the process of Affidavits of Maladministration.
    My follow-up revealed a couple of things:
    The State is avoiding dealing with the issue by ensuring those certified letters are not being accepted.
    My 2nd follow-up got the following response:
    The gal who’s heading up the effort tells me that this is part of the process. Them ignoring the letters enables the group to take it to court. I’m not sure how likely it is they’ll win given our judges are mostly libs but who knows.
    Do you have better sources????

    evidence, points to COVID-19 being accidentally released from the virus lab in Wuhan, China, sometime before September 12, 2019.
    THE RELEASE IMO WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT TRUMP PLACED HEAVY SANCTIONS ON CHINA ABOUT 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE 1ST REPORTING IT WAS A TEST ON GERM WARFARE
