Many of President Trump’s supporters are expressing disappointment that he agreed to a three-week spending deal that will temporarily end the partial government shutdown without providing any border wall funding.
But before Nancy Pelosi gloats any further about her success at keeping our borders unsafe and porous, bear in mind that this is only a three-week bill. The deal will circumvent the media’s relentless focus on the government shutdown (and blaming Trump for it) and curtail rising problems like threats of air traffic controllers walking off the job. Unlike the last President, Trump doesn’t want a shutdown to be disruptive and inconvenient for average Americans. The three weeks will give him time to make his State of the Union Address and talk directly to the American people, and to disrupt the building “blame Trump for the shutdown” narrative and hopefully to turn public attention back to the border, where it belongs.

Round up the kids and call the neighbors, I have another great new episode of “Huckabee” coming your way tonight on TBN! On the news front, the Chief Washington Correspondent for CBS, Major Garrett, will fill us in on his new book, “Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride.” Economist and futurist George Gilder will explain why he thinks Google’s days are numbered. Producer, speaker and Special Envoy to the UN for the World Council of Independent Christian Churches, Laurie Cardoza-Moore, will talk about one of our key allies, Israel. On the lighter side, we’ll visit with Christian pop music sensation Julianna Zobrist. And actor/singer John Schneider of “The Dukes of Hazzard” will tell us about his amazing career and sing a special song for veterans. I’ll also have serious commentary, some crazy news “In Case You Missed It,” and more surprises, plus Tre Corley and the best band on TV, the Music City Connection!

Roger Stone update
By Mike Huckabee
Since yesterday’s late-breaking bulletin, more details have been released about the seven counts leveled by Special Counsel Robert Mueller against Trump adviser Roger Stone. There are more details at the link.
The charges include obstruction, making false statements and trying to get a witness to lie about what he knew about WikiLeaks’ release of DNC emails. But they do not charge him with conspiring with WikiLeaks or with any Russians.
These charges will give Trump haters more ammunition to say, “Look at all the indictments Mueller is running up against Trump associates!” On the other hand, they’ll give Trump defenders more ammunition to say, “Look at all the over-changing of felonies for process infractions and unrelated violations that have nothing to do with ‘Russian collusion,’ which was supposed to be the point of this investigation!”

The Pledge of Allegiance
By Mike Huckabee
I’m sure you know the poem about the person who didn’t stand up for various groups as “they came for” them, until, when they came for him, there was no left to stand up for him. I was reminded of that when I heard this story:
The left has “come for” everything that made America exceptional. They’ve attacked the rule of law, the presumption of innocence, the security of our borders, free speech, churches and individual religious freedom, patriotism and capitalism. They’ve demeaned our Founders and other American heroes for not living up to their ever-changing momentary standards of political correctness. They’ve sown distrust in our free and fair elections, while contributing to it by doing everything in their power to block prevention of voter fraud and to allow ineligible non-citizens to vote, thereby canceling out the votes of American citizens. Through “pro-choice” propaganda, they’ve even undermined respect for the sanctity of human life.

Planned Parenthood update
By Mike Huckabee
America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, gets over half a billion dollars a year in our tax money from Washington. Despite Republican promises that if they were in charge of Congress, that would be cut off, PP’s federal funding was actually increased by over $200,000 last year. Planned Parenthood and its defenders insist that none of this federal money is used to support abortion, and that if it were cut off, it would deal a devastating blow to providing women with crucial “health services.”
Abortion is not progressive
By Mike Huckabee
Having made the word “liberal” truly toxic, today’s leftists have slapped a new label on their failed policies: “Progressive.” I’ve often asked what’s “progressive” about wanting to repeat the same ruinous economic policies that have brought poverty, inequality, death and misery everywhere they’ve been tried for over a century. But it’s not just in that arena that “progressives” (I always put it in quotation marks, for good reason) are trying to lead society backwards. Their views of abortion also run counter to public opinion, basic decency, mounting scientific evidence and the tide of history.
For a tragic example, look to New York. Tuesday, on the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s notorious Roe v. Wade ruling, Democrats who recently took power in both the state Assembly and Senate passed a sweeping pro-abortion bill that Gov. Andrew Cuomo ran on a promise to sign. It’s laughably dubbed the “Reproductive Health Act.” It actually has nothing to do with reproduction or health.

Survey results
By Mike Huckabee
With the shutting down of all non-Trump Congressional investigations, do you think the new attorney general should appoint a special counsel/special ethics committee to investigate Hillary and her 2016 campaign?
14,971 YES VOTES
138 NO VOTES
130 UNDECIDED VOTES
Pretty conclusive.

Holy Love
By Anonymous
A newsletter reader facing terminal cancer submitted this beautiful sonnet about how facing death has deepened his faith.
My soul wants to cry for aid
under a lowering sky.
But that's not how this game is played,
for I am marked to die.
The boon of palliative care
was never meant for me;
and it's in no way unfair
because now, on bended knee
I can behold in full a gentle Grace;
pain's opened divinity's door
and gave me glimpse of smiling Face;
how could I ask for more?
The clouds may be so grey above,
but over them, shines Holy Love.

A wrap-up of all the news you might have missed yesterday!
Daily Verse (KJV)
"Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
bind them about thy neck;
write them upon the table of thine heart:
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding
in the sight of God and man."
