DAILY BIBLE VERSE

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Matthew 5:44 KJV


1. A “Make Up Your Own Reality” Administration

President Biden has found yet another appointee who fits right in with his “Make Up Your Own Reality” Administration.

Boston doctor Fatima Cody Stanford, who is now a member of the Biden USDA's 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee that will help create federal dietary standards, insists that doctors don’t understand obesity, that it’s genetic, and it can’t be cured by diet and exercise (despite many centuries of evidence that dieting and exercise make you lose weight.) Instead, the Biden Committee will use “a health equity lens throughout its evidence review to ensure factors such as socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and culture are described and considered to the greatest extent possible."

Translation: to quote Chandler from “Friends,” “Our kids are gonna be fat, aren’t they?”


2. Democrats Denying Reality

Keeping with our theme of Democrats denying reality, Democrat mayors of big cities plagued with crime waves have figured out what’s really the cause of all those crimes. No, it’s not that they slashed police budgets and stopped arresting or jailing criminals.

In Seattle, city officials are suing Kia and Hyundai for building cars that are too easy to steal.

https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/seattle-city-attorney-sues-kia-and-hyundai-over-increased-car-thefts

And Chicago’s mayor Lori Lightfoot has the solution for street food vendors who are being robbed blind: just don’t carry any cash.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/traumatized-tamale-vendors-told-go-cashless-lori-lightfoot-paying-gangs-protection

I think I could suggest some more effective ways of fighting crime than blaming the victims or suing the people who make the stuff that’s getting stolen, like maybe electing some Republicans for the first time in decades. That probably won’t happen, but at least the good news is that a recent poll shows Lightfoot is in fourth place with 11% support in the Democratic primary.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/losing-ground-lori-lightfoot-poll-shows-chicago-mayor-in-fourth-place-in-reelection-bid/ar-AA16wmMj

The fact that so many media outlets are bemoaning the likely loss of the city’s first black lesbian mayor after only one term tells you just how far off kilter their priorities are. How about electing mayors who check the “qualified for office” identity box for a change?


3. Homebuying in 2023

In this economy, buying a house has become very difficult for most young people. Still, some hope that with the drop in home sales and prices, this could be the year to buy. But if you are thinking of buying a house soon, this article may help prevent the shock of reality.

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3827057-survey-finds-americans-wildly-misinformed-on-housing-market/

A survey by Nerdwallet found that 28 million Americans plan to buy a home this year, but many don’t have an accurate idea of the market. For instance, on average, they hope to spend $269,200. But the average home price in December was $388,100. Let’s hope most of them are looking in states other than New York or California, for many reasons.

The survey also found that buyers may be hoping to get a deal because they expect the housing market to crash this year. Home prices have been dropping, but experts expect only about a 4% drop in 2023. And 61% of homebuyers believe that the current 30-year fixed mortgage rate is unprecedented. But in the early ‘80s, to stop the Carter-era stagflation (and some say we’re getting an encore of that under Biden), it topped 16% and stayed above 10% throughout the decade. It fell through the ‘90s, but went back up to over 8% in 2000. So yes, it can get higher, something to consider before you sign an adjustable rate mortgage.

Many experts say that it’s nearly impossible to predict the best time to buy because the Fed might keep raising rates to end inflation, or there might be a recession and they’ll cut rates. So the best time to buy a house is just when you’re ready and can afford it.


4. “The PELOSI Act”

By Mike Huckabee

Need one more reason why Congress needs to pass “The PELOSI Act” to ban members from stock trading on insider information? Try this:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/pelosi-slammed-selling-google-stocks-right-before-doj-announced-antitrust-suit-convenient-timing

That bill’s name just seems more appropriate every time I hear it.

 


5. Too popular to be cancelled

Radical trans activists really hate comedian Dave Chappelle for refusing to knuckle under to their dictates and for actually telling jokes about them, which they claim is the equivalent of violence or even murder. But one reason he’s too popular to be canceled is that he’s not only funny, he refuses to stop telling the truth. And in his latest comments, he made it obvious which side of this debate – the “alphabet people” as he calls them, or his fans – are truly peaceful and tolerant and which ones are violent, angry, repressive and unhinged.

6. Disney censors the classics

By Mike Huckabee

Is the classic song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” the latest victim of cancel culture? The Oscar-winning song is considered by many to stand alongside “When You Wish Upon A Star” as the best songs ever from Disney’s classic era. Unfortunately, it came from “Song of the South,” the movie based on Uncle Remus stories that latter-day critics have branded as racist, even if many of the claims they make about it are factually incorrect (for instance, the black farm workers shown in it are post-Civil War paid farmhands, not slaves.)

Despite many defenders who believe the film is an animation landmark with a story of colorblind friendship among diverse children and a great performance by black actor James Baskett, Disney has blocked it from DVD release and streaming services. (NOTE: Our pop culture guru Pat Reeder says you can find it on DVD if you search the Internet. He says this is a great example of why you should never rely on streaming: “If you can’t hold it in your hand, you don’t own it.”)

As the erasing of history proceeds, Disney World has remodeled its Splash Mountain ride to remove B’rer Rabbit and other cartoon characters from the film. And now, even the delightful song “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” is reportedly being scrubbed from the music loop visitors hear when they enter Disney World, after already being removed from several other venues. I’m curious what is supposed to be racist about “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah”?

https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2023/01/25/ok-this-is-getting-serious-disneys-magic-kingdom-removes-zip-a-dee-doo-dah-from-parks-playlist-n693811

Critics say that in trying to appease woke complainers, the company is not only censoring a classic movie and now a beloved song, but also erasing the legacy of James Baskett, who received an honorary Academy Award in 1948, becoming the first black male actor to win an Oscar. My oh my, what a terrible day.

I propose that we all tell Disney that our preferred pronouns are “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” and force them to say it.

 


7. Pelosi video released

San Francisco police finally released the video and the 911 call from the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul. You can find both at this link.

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2023/01/27/breaking-911-call-from-paul-pelosi-released-n694722

It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on in either case, but if anyone was expecting to see evidence of some of the weird theories that have been going around the Internet, they’ll be disappointed.


8. Tech layoffs

By Mike Huckabee

While President Biden is bragging about his great economy and mocking anyone who predicted a recession (he avoided one by changing the definition of “recession”), the tech sector that did so much to get him into office is undergoing massive employee layoffs. Well, they can't say I didn't warn them. 

Victoria Taft at Redstate.com also has bad news on the job front from a number of other industries, including health care, real estate, education and the media. And the job cuts and inflation couldn’t come at a worse time, considering Americans just suffered the second-worst drop ever in real disposable income, second only to the Great Depression year of 1932.

You know it’s really bad when Google even laid off its 31 in-house massage therapists. That is not a joke.

9. Another homerun

By Mike Huckabee

The new Republican House isn’t just keeping its promises to voters, it’s also coming up with the best acronyms for bill titles that I’ve ever seen. First, the “PELOSI Act” to ban insider stock trading, and now this…

    The MSM has lost its credibility so not many people watch or listen to it, Even the less educated can understand that product it puts out is fiction unreliable inaccurate or just spun to fit the Lefts agenda. The CNN and the other anti American networks may have run its course and is kept alive by Communist resources. Listen to a Leftist and one looks for medicine to calm an upset stomach as even the Fox network puts a display of foolish Leftist spin the truth into a nasty Anti American bashing. The fuel crisis is blamed on Putin the border is secured when drones show the opposite, Crime is because of where supremacy I am white and I hate crime and this country houses over 175 million of us that hate criminal activity we love peace prosperity happiness freedom to exercise fun levity and recreation and we are to busy working to achieve all that we have. We find honor in working for a beautiful home and yard ,patios an oasis to come home to and relax enjoy beautiful music nature and yes even grill a dinner all people find this to be enough to live a life while still upright. To interact act with people in a civil and fun enivorment is what people like me want. People do not have to be the same different ideas thoughts ideas is what people like look for not putting bullet to body or theft of ones possions we like our Creator something the Leftist seems to despise and want nothing to do with I do not like the idea of abortion however I understand the issue and abortion can not be a easy discussion I do not want to pay for it and should not. The Leftist you really don't have anything I need from you or want from you but you impose yourself on my decency my American value you go so far to interact negatively with my Creator the Leftist are a collection of Pagans while making life a deadly and miserable experience the Creator allows life and the Leftist takes it and the battle for decency forges on, MAGA ignore a Leftist today!!!!!!

    One thing that I can actually say for real biden has the interest rates rising and my saving account has benefited now all I need is a rate of return that exceeds the real rate of inflation at about 12 percent that way seniors can stay even with the monthly health bills. I am fortunate that I have worked hard enough to have interest cover all my health cost insurances BC medicare Dental yes SS takes out my medicare costs. Seniors pay for health care, illegals get health care from my tax dollar and are educated on our property tax code Americans vote to take my assets and redistbute to others from a different country. Does one wonder why Leftist are disliked by people that struggle to live a life of decency and pleasure it is because our goal is to live life with prosperity happiness goodwill while the Leftist take those goals and waste them. Maybe one may understand by now go Left and go to the life of misery and deceit. MAGA take the turn to the Right.

    I guess Iger hasn't fully understood the impact that Disney's cancel culture and LGBTQ promotion is going to cost. I along with millions of others will never again visit one of their theme parks, watch their woke movies, or purchase their stock.

    What Happens when organizations like the Police departments the Military demonized its forces in the course of MSM attention to defund the police and make the working conditions hazardous to the officers the smart and the good members of the force will leave. Here is the 64 million dollar question What do you replace good men and women with??/ Take a good look what has happened in Memphis with that incident that looks like a gang has developed inside the the "police Force". Tp protect and serve I don't think so. Also America look at what your President is doing to your Armed Forces don't take a vaccination that is not proven to protect or protect against are forced out of the military. What is replacing these people not many at this time and are the military forces getting the best people In the eyes of the Democrat the best is not what it looks for it looks for people that dislikes Americans just like the thugs did in Memphis. Put the pieces together America the Democrat is Not America's friend it appears to be the opposite. Prove me wrong if you can name the many thing going good for the country today.

    As a child I enjoyed all the Disney shows including the TV show on Sunday nights. Never saw the racism the left is freaking out about! As one pagan co-worker stated: The left accuses others of what they are doing. I heard one here in SW Washington state" we are all Antifa!" Another deadhead. I am disappointed that the RNC put Mitt Romney niece in charge again. I foresee the RINOs push to destroy MAGA and conservatives out. It is now a uniparty. I and many others have now left both parties. As a sagecon I know only God can save this sinking boat!
