DAILY BIBLE VERSE

“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 KJV

 

A new pandemic low

By Mike Huckabee

The Labor Department reports that the number of Americans filing for first-time unemployment claims fell to a pandemic-low 385,000, slightly lower than economists expected. But continuing jobless claims rose to 3.771 million, which was higher than expected.

Meanwhile, private-sector payrolls grew by 978,000 workers in May, up from 654,000 in April (economists expected that number to decline a bit.) Most of the gains were in the service industry, such as restaurants.

This will likely be credited to the rebound from the pandemic, and I’m sure Democrats will try to give credit to President Biden. But I can’t help wondering if the major driving factor isn’t all those red states that voted to cut off the expanded unemployment benefits that make it pay more to stay on the dole than to take a service sector job.


Excellent news for America

By Mike Huckabee

Excellent News For America! And it comes from such a dry source that most people would find it boring: “Parliamentary procedure.” You might have snoozed through the discussions of that in school, but parliamentary procedure might possibly save America from being “transformed” into a leftist dystopia.

Chuck Schumer had hoped to use “reconciliation,” the process of passing a budget bill with only 51 votes to avoid a Republican filibuster, to force the Democrats’ radical wishlist onto America. That includes the “For The People Act” that would legalize vote fraud, and the “PRO Act” that would destroy freelance and gig worker jobs. Schumer hoped to stuff them into the gargantuan “infrastructure” bill that would spend trillions of dollars on things that have nothing to do with infrastructure. But last week, the Senate Parliamentarian quietly issued a new ruling: “You can’t do that.” Reconciliation is for tax and budget issues only, and you can’t use it just to avoid a filibuster. So it’s back to the drawing board, or one hopes, the garbage heap, for these destructive radical bills.

At the risk of being called a nerd, I say, “Three cheers for parliamentary procedure!”

Now, let’s wait for the Democrats to declare it a form of white supremacy.

Must-see video

By Mike Huckabee

This video went viral of TikTok user Kory Yeshua with his adorable young daughter, condemning Critical Race Theory.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/video-of-dad-daughter-speaking-out-against-critical-race-theory-goes-viral

Yeshua says, "We need to stop CRT. Period. Point blank. Children do not see skin color, man. They love everybody…How we treat people is based on who they are and not what color they are…Critical race theory wants to end that. Not with my children, it’s not going to happen."

Amen! And I think the CRT crowd is going to have a hard time accusing him of being a white supremacist.

"Just Imagine if Trump had said this"

By Mike Huckabee

In today’s game of “Just Imagine If Trump Had Said This,” here’s President Joe Biden expounding inexplicably on why there are so many biracial couples in TV commercials…

https://www.westernjournal.com/biden-advertisements-mixed-race-couples-selling-soap-man/

And Biden not only believes that black people don’t know how to obtain IDs or get online, he now informs us that black entrepreneurs “don’t have lawyers. They don’t have accountants.”

https://redstate.com/alexparker/2021/06/03/leo-terrell-debones-biden-says-somebody-needs-to-tell-him-hes-a-racist-n390559

To be fair, since Biden also thinks that the greatest terrorist threat to America, more than radical Islamists or Antifa, is white supremacists, maybe he just believes it’s still the 1940s.

Follow-Up Good News!

By Mike Huckabee

I already reported this story, but it’s now been finalized, and I just really like reporting this:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-church-legal-fees-covid-closures

A judge has approved a settlement between the state of California and two churches that sued over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s discriminatory shutdowns of churches during the pandemic. The state agreed never again to restrict houses of worship more harshly than other organizations, and to pay over $2 million in legal fees: $1.6 million to South Bay United Pentecostal Church in Chula Vista and $550,000 to Bakersfield Catholic Priest Trevor Burfitt.


Police Protection For Me, But Not For Thee!

By Mike Huckabee

The Daily Caller reports that Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush, one of Congress’ most outspoken proponents of defunding the police, spent $30,000 on private security in the first quarter of 2021 alone.

Big Story, But Not For The Reasons You Think

By Mike Huckabee

Democrats are celebrating a landslide win Tuesday in a special election for an open seat in New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District. State. Rep. Melanie Stansbury defeated Republican State Sen. Mark Moores by nearly 25 points, 60-36%. The Democrats were sweating over this race because losing it would mean (A.) an even narrower House majority and (B.) bad prospects for the 2022 elections. But now they’re crowing that the Democrats are “stronger than ever” and people are rejecting Republicans’ “fear-mongering” about their policies.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/new-mexico-special-election-results-democrats-big-win-in-blue-district-may-not-say-much-about-2022-races/ar-AAKDOMQ

Yeah, that’s the official line. Here’s the real takeaway from this:

This is the safest of safe Democrat seats. It’s in solid blue Albuquerque, and Biden won it just seven months ago by 23 points. A Libertarian and an Independent siphoned off 4% of the vote, which means that Stansbury’s actual margin of victory over all challengers was 20 points, a 3-point drop in the bluest of safe blue seats in a low-turnout election.

To get to that margin, the Democrats did everything they possibly could, including an endorsement from President Biden, visits from state and national big names like First Lady Jill Biden, and outspending Moores on advertising by 2-1. Analysts are now saying that a victory of more than 15 points should make Democrats “very happy.” But winning by 15 points, or even 20 points, after going all-out in a safe district they’d just won in November by 23 points? That don’t impress me much. In a close district where Republicans really fight for it, losing three points could mean losing the seat; and the races like that in 2022 will far outnumber the Dems’ microscopic majority margin.

Oh, and one other thing: when Republicans slam Democrats for opening up the borders to let in drug gangsters and other criminals they refuse to arrest and deport; and for defunding the police while releasing criminals from jails, going away with bail and refusing to prosecute rioters, resulting in record leaps in violent crime; pointing all that out isn’t “fear-mongering.” It’s just alerting the voters to the fact that their opponents are nuts.

A Reader Writes Back... 

Again, thank you for keeping us informed relative to the condition of the world around us. But everytime I read your posts I am filled with dread & anger. NOTHING is changing except for the worse. I feel like we are sitting around waiting for someone somewhere to do something. Is the conservative citizens of this country asleep??? Better yet, ARE THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS ASLEEP??? It appears to me there are only a handful of politicians (Gov DeSantis, Rand Paul, Kristi Noem, etc) who are actually out there passing legislation/laws to take back this country & protect us. Where are the rest of our so called “warriors” who were elected to prevent the landslide corruption that is a daily symptom of our government??? And please explain to me why there has been no push to hold Biden accountable for the now evident criminal collusion with Hunter??? It appears to me that our representatives are cowards!

    Dear Gov. Huckabee:
    You urged, "“Three cheers for parliamentary procedure!”

    I second the motion!
    Especially when it's used to save us all from ignorant socialist disaster.

    Mike
    If Democrats are celebrating a big win in Albuquerque I can tell you right now they must be desperate . While it would have been nice for the people of Albuquerque to show some common sense nobody here in New Mexico was under any illusions.
    Albuquerque is the black hole of Common Sense even in this peon State.
    I swear if New Mexico was a butt Albuquerque would be the rectum.

    Critical race theory is misnamed. Is not a theory but a strategy and that's what it should be called from now on. Critical race strategy is what it is.

    So many of us are just fed up. Down South when a man was there he was called " having the red a*s" Many ministers led and even trained their troops. The Marxists are cunning. They have taken control of many ministers and effectively taught men to be "soyboys" Blame it on the new"religion" of psychology and it's Hollywood promoters.
    A need for real leaders is required. Both in communities and all levels and branches of government.
    What do you be say, Mike?
    I was in the military where I learned you respect the Constitution and the office, not the man

    The only reason they are investigating HUNTER and his financial dealings is that
    since JOE has been office, his incompent Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray
    and this entire intelligence agency director have been left looking like
    total buffoons and now are fearing that Putin's Hackers Units and ever else hacker
    specialists are planning to execute a complete disaster just prior to Putin arriving in
    Geneva to show Joe that is a complete idiot. They in the process make ransomware
    demands that would require JOE and the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department
    to pay for the ransomware in the process.. .

    "CRT". I don't like the abbreviation any more than the modern thing it abbreviates. To Me it expands to Cathode Ray Tube as in an old style tv or computer monitor and brings me to a screeching halt every time I read it.

    Just had to read some really good news and did watch your video as suggested of Kory Yeshua and his adorable daughter. Loved it! Beautiful family.

    Thank you Governor Huckabee for the touches of humor and lightness you try to inject in the daily sad news. For many of us who are frustrated, disgusted, discouraged and angry about what is happening to our America, your insight helps lighten the burden.

    Since we have children and grandchildren in "The Natural State", we are ever hopeful Sarah will be on the job defending them after her landslide election as Governor. GO SARAH!!!
