DAILY BIBLE VERSE

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Rom 8:28 KJV

 


Ned Beatty RIP

By By “Huckabee” pop culture guru Pat Reeder (http://www.hollywoodhifi.com)

Once again, the sad duty falls to me to report the passing of an actor that many of us grew up watching on movie and TV screens: Ned Beatty died of natural causes Sunday at home in L.A. at 83, surrounded by friends and loved ones.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/ned-beatty-deliverance-network-dies-83

Beatty was one of those “I know the face, but what’s his name?” actors, and he once admitted, "For people like me, there’s a lot of ‘I know you! I know you! What have I seen you in?’" In his case, the answer was, “Practically everything.” Beatty once said he preferred being a character actor to being a star because stars become part of a brand and get predictable, and he liked to surprise the audience with the unexpected. He said, "Stars never want to throw the audience a curveball, but my great joy is throwing curveballs."

Influenced by the church he attended as a kid in Lexington, Kentucky, he originally aspired to be a priest, but his high school play, “Harvey” gave him the acting bug. After nearly two decades as a stage actor, he auditioned for movie director John Boorman. Boorman told him the part had already been cast, but changed his mind after seeing Beatty. That’s how he got his breakthrough role in 1972’s “Deliverance” as the unfortunate city slicker who met a fate in the backwoods that still makes viewers cringe.

By the time he retired in 2013, he’d racked up an astounding number of varied movie, TV and stage roles, including “Nashville,” “All the President’s Men,” the first two Christopher Reeve “Superman” movies (as Lex Luthor’s bumbling henchman), “Toy Story 3,” Broadway’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” a detective on “Homicide: Life on the Streets,” John Goodman’s dad on “Roseanne,” and possibly his most memorable role: the corporate CEO in “Network” who thunders to the errant news anchor, "You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won’t have it!” He then explains that there is no America, no democracy, "There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today."

It was a shocking and chilling vision of the world in 1976. Today, it sounds like everyday reality. Just throw in Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter.


The High Cost of Trusting the “Experts”

By Mike Huckabee

While studies now show that shutdowns made little or no difference in the spread rate of COVID-19, they did make a huge difference to our economy by destroying 37.5% of small businesses in America. That includes over half of businesses in the leisure and hospitality industries.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/victoria-taft/2021/06/13/covid-shut-downs-destroyed-nearly-40-of-american-small-business-for-no-damned-good-reason-n1454271

However, by allowing big box stores and major chains to stay open while forcing small businesses to close, even if they followed the same safety rules, the shutdowns resulted in a huge transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich. You’d think that because of that, so-called “progressives” would agree with me that it’s way past time for all the lockdowns to end. Yet many, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, continue to resist letting people reopen their businesses.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that no matter how much leftists talk about the suffering of the poor and middle class or the unfairness of wealth inequality, all that becomes perfectly acceptable if it means increasing government power.


The Corrosive Effects Of Critical Race Theory Fanatics

By Mike Huckabee

This is a must-read article about the corrosive effects of Critical Race Theory fanatics, written from a unique point of view.

https://www.newsweek.com/how-anti-racist-activism-affects-interracial-couples-like-us-opinion-1599970

The author is a woman from China who married a Caucasian man from North Carolina, and they now live in the US. As an interracial couple with biracial children, they are naturally concerned about racism. And the writer thought that the focus on racism in the wake of George Floyd’s death was a good thing…until, as is always the case, the fanatics took it too far and became the thing they allegedly hated.

She asks, if you’re going to judge everyone by their race, and say that all white people are oppressors and all non-whites are oppressed, where does that leave her marriage to a white man? She cites the long struggle to repeal laws banning mixed marriages, and worries that CRT is undoing all that progress. She believes that way of viewing the world erases her love for her husband, “it erases my humanity.” And what does it do to children, to be taught that their parents’ marriage isn’t a loving relationship between two equals but a battle between oppressor and oppressed?

She declares, “I traveled half a world to settle in America. I will raise my family here. I will not allow misguided teachings to tarnish the sanctity of my marriage, invalidate my experience, and create divisions and chaos in my family.”

Read the whole article. It’s rare to hear someone with such personal knowledge of relations between different races explain so clearly the toxic effects of the CRT movement and how it's harming the people it claims to be helping.

Covid-19 Updates

By Mike Huckabee

It’s hard to keep up with all the news about the origins of COVID-19 (especially when so many news and social media outlets decided they already knew the objective truth and decided to censor and vilify anyone who questioned the narrative.) So here’s a handy round-up of what’s happened so far that should bring you almost up to date:

https://redstate.com/stu-in-sd/2021/06/14/here-is-how-to-validate-the-lab-leak-theory-for-sure-n395402

And to bring you completely up to date: despite the adamant denials by EcoHealth Alliance president Peter Daszak and the World Health Organization, and claims that it was a “conspiracy theory” to suggest that there were any bats in the Wuhan virology lab, Sky News Australia obtained explosive video that reportedly shows live bats in cages inside that very lab.

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/china-accused-of-astounding-coverup-as-footage-emerges-of-bats-caged-in-wuhan-lab/video/194d472757704f2337dd64e0a7f62aaf

Of course, some are still insisting that it’s more likely that the virus somehow leaped from bats to humans and wasn’t altered in the lab. But since an Oxford study just confirmed that there were no bats or pangolins at the Wuhan wet market, I wonder how that happened? Did someone who wanted to make bat soup knock on the lab’s door and ask to borrow a cup of bats?


What A Choice

By Mike Huckabee

I’ve had disputes with a number of President Biden’s appointees, whom I’ve found to be rabidly partisan, seriously unqualified or both. But they pale in comparison to his choice for director of the Bureau of Land Management whose resume reportedly includes actual collaboration with eco-terrorists.

Lawsuit Dismissed

By Mike Huckabee

Saturday, a federal judge in Texas dismissed a lawsuit by 117 employees of Houston Methodist Hospital who were defying a requirement that they take the COVID-19 vaccine by June 7th or lose their jobs. About 99% of employees have complied, but the plaintiffs argued that the vaccines are dangerous and experimental.

https://www.westernjournal.com/lawsuit-challenging-hospital-vaccine-rules-dismissed/

The judge disagreed, saying that they had been approved by the FDA for emergency use (that caveat about "emergency" use was one of the plaintiffs’ arguments against it.) He also dismissed their claim that it’s a violation of the Nuremberg Code barring experimentation on people without their consent. The lead plaintiff, nurse Jennifer Bridges, said she’s not an anti-vaxxer, but that it’s “just insane” to force people to put something in their bodies that they’re not comfortable with in order to keep their jobs.

The attorney for the plaintiffs said this is just the first of many such battles in a long fight, and he expects it to end up in the US Supreme Court. I assume that will be long after this pandemic is over, and let’s hope, not in the middle of another pandemic from that place that must not be named.

    Dear Governor,
    I do hope you pay attention to this email:
    1) there are approximately 100 autoimmune diseases in the USA alone. The CDC only cares about 5 that are human-to-human transmitted. Altho, more recently the CDC has had to admit dangers fro CoVd & its vaccine to those with Diabetes and Gillain-Barr Syndrome. And also...the dangers of receiving the vaccine because in some people it produces severe Bells Palsy (severe stroke conditions--causing death in some.)
    2) There IS a list of allergies (in plain understandable English) that preclude getting the vaccine. I had to list my severe allergies to my physician and when I said "tetanus shots" was abruptly told "No! you cannot get the vaccine!" WHY HAS THIS LIST NOT BEEN MADE PUBLIC???? I was unsuccessful in obtaining the entire list.
    3) Immune diseases can be under active ir over active. The vaccine contains mRNA which (accirding to my physician) makes the immune system more active. It does NOT contain any portion of the virus to cause the immune system to create antibodies against the disease.
    I received no answer when I asked about the negative effects on those who ALREADY have an over active auto immune disease.
    4) Just so you are aware, in over active auto immune diseases, any vaccine can cause issues. If one gets the flu vaccine (an example) there is a small portion of the virus in that vaccine. This supposedly causes our bodies to produce antibodies against it.
    However...in over active autoimmune diseases, the immune system does not stop there....it can continue....even quietly and over long periods of time...to "turn" against healthy tissue and even organs...sometimes destroyng them.
    5) Millions of people in the USA alone have immune diseases...nobody is doing any meaningful research on these....except private labs and "associations" or "foundations" which are very limited in resources and even information.

    6) So...exactly WHY is the government pushing this vaccine so hard? Nobody knows the long term effects of a foreign, manufactured mRNA on our own RNA or even DNA. And...there have been a few reports of pregnant females receiving the vaccine...then having miscarriages or stillborn babies. Could it be possible the mRNA caused the mother's immune system to "identify" the fetus as a "dangerous, foreign substance" because its RNA may have differed from the mother's RNA?

    7) Additionally, recent videos and photos have surfaced from the Wuhan lab showing not onky bats...but mice be ing experimented on...in order to develop a virus to which the human body would not be resistant.

    As a person with an immune disease....who has lost one organ directly to the disease...and 2 more to (flu shots) and my over active immune system....can tell you, I am NOT getting any vaccine again! Especially one that is being "pushed" so hard by the government.

    apparently the "judge" in the vaccine case is NOT a medical expert, and therefore has NO credibility here at all. The fact that persons who have contracted the virus and survived have better immunity than that given by the vaccine was lost on this obviously liberal judge.
    The Nuremberg Code most certainly DOES apply here, as the vaccine is-(by the maker's own admission) "experimental" and cannot be considered to confirm immunity(read ANY disclaimer on the form we all must sign to get the vaccine)
    Just curious ----but just exactly WHAT was the mandate BEFORE the unproven vaccine hit the market???????--were these Nurses going to be fired for ---what?

    Dratz! I wanted my last time to be my last time unless I said, unless really important....So if them/they wanted their party to be in charge, wouldn't you contact and make an agreement to help put your candidate in office because the other person in charge would not put up with the B/S the country is buried in now. So them/they make up the phony witchhunt with the foreign power to go after the person who would be the tougher person in charge and never accept all the asinine problems that are created now. And now them/they have their puppet in office and the foreign country that help make sure the puppet was elected is safe by the virtual brain-dead puppet that is easily bought and paid for certain actions. The one thing that the previous person in charge Massively did wrong was not uphold their security oath by removing the security clearances from those in office that were blatant threats to WE the PEOPLE! Those desidents are still in office and their hatred is so blatant....BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT REMOVED AS REQUIRED!
    So them/they manipulated the people and the foreign collaborators to put the puppet in office and very little confrontations are assured, and the asinine and the discents continue to lead the weak and mentally infirmed.
