Trump Voters: How does it feel to be called a domestic terrorist?

By Mike Huckabee

Thursday, we brought you the latest on the left’s “war on domestic terrorism,” an attempt to control the 75 million Americans who supported Trump. Former CIA Director John Brennan had spoken out against an “unholy alliance” of various groups, including such frightful dangers to America as libertarians and “religious extremists,” which were not defined.

The stretching of the term “domestic terrorist” to include Trump supporters is particularly ironic considering that some ACTUAL state sponsors of terrorism, in between their chants of “Death to America,” are celebrating Biden’s inauguration.

But no, leftists say it’s Trump supporters our nation should worry about. We’ve reported on a letter circulating in the publishing industry rejecting book deals for “traitors” --- meaning anyone ever affiliated with the Trump administration. FOX NEWS said on Thursday that 547 publishing professionals have now signed the letter, which says, “No participant in an administration that caged children, performed involuntary surgeries on captive women, and scoffed at science as millions were infected with a deadly virus should be enriched by the almost rote largesse of a big book deal. And no one who incited, suborned, instigated, or otherwise supported the January 6, 2021, coup attempt should have their philosophies remunerated and disseminated through our beloved publishing houses.”

Astonishingly, they even invoked so-called “Son Of Sam” laws to equate former Trump administration officials with convicted felons who aren't allowed to profit from book deals after being incarcerated.

By the way, we’re still scratching our heads over the reference to performing “involuntary surgeries on captive women.” For when you have time (it’s very long), here’s an absolutely stellar rebuttal of the letter by Israel-based journalist Ruthie Blum.

Full disclosure: In case you’ve spent the past few years on the planet Mars, my daughter Sarah worked in the Trump administration as press secretary and faced accusations of lying virtually every day, simply for relaying facts and opinions at odds with those of the leftist media.

Thursday on FOX NEWS, legal expert Jonathan Turley called this censorship on the part of publishers “chilling” and “insidious.” He said colleagues have written him to express their fear of speaking out, lest they lose their professorships.

“And that’s exactly the point,” Turley observed. Those in media and education will use that fear to shut down dissenting speech.

He called this "the most anti-free speech period since the Red Scare," saying "the difference is that that period was largely brought about from the right, and universities and media helped resist that effort. This is coming from the left, and they’re much better at it...This anti-free speech movement really is focusing on private companies, and creating a type of ‘digitized mob’ that sets upon anyone that says anything off the narrative.

"And so, what we’re really seeing is something that is so stifling and so dangerous. There was a time when this sort of letter would have had a hue and cry arise from the free speech community. But the silence is perfectly deafening.”

We’ve quoted from a similarly dogmatic FORBES op-ed that said, “Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists [listed] above, and FORBES will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie....”

Turley said that “people of good faith have got to join together. This is not about Trump; it’s about us, and it’s about free speech. And we have to say no to blacklists and yes to a free speech system.”

On Wednesday (inauguration day), THE EPOCH TIMES posted an excellent analysis by Peter Svab entitled “Ideological Alignment Pushing America Towards Totalitarianism, Experts Warn.” It’s offered on their premium subscription, but I think they’ll let you read it on a one-time basis. If not, a premium subscription would be well worth your while.

Caution: this will chill you to your marrow, as it talks forebodingly about the alignment of the most influential forces in our culture. “The formation of a totalitarian state is just about complete in America,” it says, “as the most powerful public and private sector actors unite behind the idea that actions to stamp out dissent can be justified...”

It sounds like a monstrous conspiracy theory to say that elected officials, government bureaucrats, large corporations, academia, think tanks, nonprofits, the mainstream media and new grassroots movements are working together to this end. Most Americans have been caught off guard or still don’t realize it's gone this far.

But Michael Rechtenwald, a retired liberal arts professor (does it seem that most of those speaking out happen to be retired?) at New York University, doesn’t see it resulting from some big conspiracy --- just “ideological realignment and some informal coordination.” The power is “not yet absolute,” he believes, but the effects are being seen throughout society. “Some figures of power and influence are sketching the next step,” he told THE EPOCH TIMES, “labeling large segments of society as ‘extremists’ and potential terrorists who need to be ‘deprogrammed.’”

Indeed, that's just the way John Brennan was talking. And who are the 'extremists'? Why, Trump supporters, of course. And the feds don’t even have to silence them, as Big Tech in the form of Facebook and Google are eager to do their dirty work for them.

As Peter Svab has previously pointed out, the so-called “fact”-checkers at Facebook are dominated by left-leaning organizations. Here’s how the certification process works.

He asks the question, “Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?” Well, in this newsletter, WE often do, and we’d put the objectivity of our two-person research staff up against that of all the "certified" members of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).

Svab quotes Richard Shorten in “Modernism and Totalitarianism: Rethinking the Intellectual Sources of Nazism and Stalinism, 1945 to the Present”: The element “that holds totalitarianism together as a composite of intellectual elements” is the ambition of fundamentally reimagining society –- “the intention to create a New Man.” This is why then-candidate Obama’s comment in 2008 that we were “five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” was so disturbing to some of us even at that time.

Democrats hardly mention “compromise” any longer and now demand one-party rule. Former FBI Director James Comey recently said the Republican Party needs to be “burned down or changed.”

So, how do we fight back? First, we must remember that we as individuals have unalienable, natural, sacred rights, given to us by GOD. Even someone whose belief in God is shaky or nonexistent should consider the rights themselves to be sacred and precious.

The short answer to how we stop this: Leftists can’t fulfill their dream of being dictators if HALF THE COUNTRY refuses to allow it.

Preview of Things To Come

By Mike Huckabee

President Biden was in office for about an hour, and he already killed thousands of jobs and alienated a close ally.

A Hard Lesson In Politics

By Mike Huckabee

Say, Pennsylvania voters who were concerned about Biden’s vow to end fracking, and then he backtracked and said he wouldn’t ban fracking, and you actually believed him…

Let this be a hard-learned lesson that when a politician suddenly reverses a position that's hurting his polls right in the middle of an election campaign, chances are he doesn’t really mean it. One of those things I didn’t think I had to explain, but there you go.

MSM Bias Can't Be Contained

By Mike Huckabee

The coverage of the Biden Inaugural signaled that the giant switch that flips in Washington and reverses all the standards every time power changes hands now also covers media behavior. The same political correspondents who ripped into every word of Trump’s like a pack of rabid jackals immediately turned into drooling lapdogs.

They were gushing so much about the wonderful wonderfulness of President Joe that they had to resort to religious rhetoric to describe how inspiring he is. Some rhapsodized about how he so perfectly embodies the Catholic faith (odd, I thought Catholics opposed abortion.) But even they couldn’t outdo the rabbi who spoke at the Inaugural and compared Biden to Moses. I know a fair amount about the Bible, and somehow, I can’t imagine that Moses would be in favor of the Iran nuclear deal.

The Latest Fashion Trend

By Mike Huckabee

One of the many shameful aspects of the media coverage of the Trump White House was the cruel way they mocked or ignored our gracious, kind and stylish First Lady Melania Trump like a gaggle of high school mean girls. So it was mind boggling to see them turn on a dime Wednesday and fall all over themselves, gushing about Jill Biden’s outfit and how “American fashion is back in the White House.”

News flash: Melania was a former model and a fashion designer herself, and possibly the most fashionable First Lady in history. You might not know that since, in four years, not a single fashion magazine put her on its cover even once.

Deanna Fisher at the Victory Girls blog has more to say about this subject, including pointing out that the media’s snide mockery of Melania’s accent (she speaks five languages, by the way) revealed the kind of bigoted attitude toward immigrants that they would have gone ballistic over, had it come from Donald Trump.

So it appears that the latest fashion trend for 2021 is…Hypocrisy!

Banned From China Travel

By Mike Huckabee

Immediately after Joe Biden took office, China announced sanctions on 28 Trump officials and their families, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, banning them from traveling to China. I’m sure this will really disrupt their vacation plans.

Georgia Payback

By Mike Huckabee

Some Georgians who admit voting for Biden because they were promised a $2000 check are already furious at him after hearing that he wants $1400 checks which will total $2000 when added to the previous $600 checks.

Moral: If you’re going to sell your vote to the highest bidder, don’t take a politician’s word that he’ll pay you later.

    The more disruptions and hate towards each other the less unified this country will become.

    ( I will try this again. The last 3 out of 4 comments submitted in the last week+ have not appeared among the comments despite seeing that it did submit for consideration) Being called domestic terrorist doesn't shock me at all. The Communist see 75+ million Trump supporters as a threat to their agenda. All this talk about the 2022 & 2024 elections is all moot. There will never be another fair election in this country ever again, as the Dems move over the next ywo years to solidify their agenda to commit massive voter fraud on a more massive scale than 2020 when they STOLE an election and got away with it like the Dems get away with every scandal, fraud, crime and lying constantly. It appears we may well be past the tipping point of sliding into becoming the next Venezuela thanks to no action by SCOTUS, many State Supreme Courts, RINO'S, etc. No one cared to do anything with lots of talk and no action for months preceding the 2020 election and not supporting President Trump with his Make America Great agenda and the many, many good things he did for America. Shameful isn't a strong enough word! Maybe the only hope is that the 74-100 million Trump supporters is in this statement: " I fear all we (Dems and RINO'S) have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

    Please keep your insightful and humorous columns coming to my inbox everyday. Please get Sara to run for Governor. I love your verses, they are my first read every morning and evening. Governor, can you offer any suggestions on what us ordinary Americans can do to re-establish voting integrity? I am so scared for my grandchildren growing up in a Marxist atheistic world.

    I am a proud member of the basket of deplorables. My big Brother is JESUS. He has gone to prepare a place for me much better than anthing I could even imagine. He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. His enemies are my enemies. My Big Brother hates those who murder innocent babies, promote sodomy, sow discord, tell lies, and even steal elections. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, my Brother is also KING OF ALL KINGS. He fights my battles for me.
    No fear. JESUS IS HERE. HE WILL PASS JUDGEMENT ON OUR ENEMIES.

    Mike,
    I heard an interesting exchange between two reporters in a 1949 Clark Gable movie on TCM this morning. Reporter #1 said " This will make great story. We have to run it. Reporter #2 replied " No it won't. It's not true. It would seem Hollywood was portraying a vastly different media than what we know today. Of course, it is possible the movie was not meant to be realistic.

    Your stories are spot on and I have also said what your article did about Melania Trump for a while. Trump could do no right no matter what he did. I have all printed out his accomplishments just so I could compare if Biden does make it these next 4 years. Thank you Faye Pharis

    Help me to understand? How can an Ex-President be Impeached? By what authority, within the U.S. Constitution is that even possible?
    We talk a lot. I get that. Emotions are running high and rightfully so. The so called : Conservatives ( or Loyal American Citizens) have been set up. ( You helped that process right along)! I was under the Impression that Congress and the White House are identified as: The Peoples House? Further: After all the noise , I watch what I could and saw so many (anomalies) with that crowd. It was a set up from the start. Guess what. You fell for it just like the rest of you talking celebrities.
    Mr. Huckabee, Christens are guided by the Religion and it's leaders or Guides or Brothers or what ever authority is deemed dominant!
    That is not a put down. That's just a fact!
    The enemy is within and nothing short of change is this going to get any better. Impeach and Ex-President because he is a huge threat to the left. Destroy the U.S. Constitution. Make illegals , legal and authorized to vote in all 50 States. That is up to each State to allow or not. By Legislature of each State not by a Judge? Who knows anymore. Pennsylvania had a Federal Judge usurp that entire Legislature ,on the Voting system through that State. Georgia, never changed it's flawed voting system, was used once again, even after Fraud was confirmed.

    Been called worse by a whole lot better. Done with GOP. Will fight for a real conservative party. Expect liberal comments but not what I here coming out of GOP. Sad thing, there will be millions who follow this same course, so GOP us as good as dead. Only themselves to blame. May never vote again!

    I’m not surprised they sold a vote. I knew that would happen especially with Pelosi posting it on her FB page etc about 2k. My votes not for sale.

    "...Morning, noon and night, Trump is in her thoughts and on her lips. She brings him up spontaneously in interviews. She talks about his “manhood” and his “fitness” and once called him a “big Humma-Humma.” She quivers at the sound of his name. She frets about his health and claims constantly to “pray” for him. She has confessed he gives her sleepless nights.

    Whether or not heartsickness is Pelosi’s ailment, she always finds a way to talk about the younger man.

    Perhaps the California Democrat realizes that when you belong to a party that has horsewhipped men into submission, there’s not a lot of alpha male energy to be found. Surrounded by soy boys and pallid milquetoasts, left-wing women often secretly hanker for a Neanderthal macho man in their life.

    Clearly, Pelosi, 80, hates Trump now that he dismisses her as “Crazy Nancy” and “a sick puppy,” says her teeth are falling out and refuses to talk to her.

    But love and hate are closely intertwined in the human condition. Nothing makes a woman more spiteful than unrequited love.

    Pelosi's latest stunt proves she's obsessed with Trump: Devine (nypost.com)

    Just want to thank you for supporting President Trump. I just wish the Republicans in office will put up a good fight against the demos. Impeachment is wrong and they need to stop this nonsense. I am so glad that the Republican Woman has filed an impeachment against Biden. Smart woman and all the Republicans should stand with her.
