DAILY BIBLE VERSE

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:9


Delta Variant Worries 

By Mike Huckabee

If you’re one of the many millions of Americans who have money in stocks through a 401K, IRA or small day-trading account (No, AOC, all market investors aren’t greedy capitalist billionaires), then you might be panicking over the recent plunge in the market. I can’t give you financial advice or assure you that all will be well, but I can safely say that over time, a diversified portfolio of stocks tends to grow, despite periodic drops. And I can explain why this current plummet is due almost entirely to the incompetence of the current occupants of the White House.

The Biden Administration has been all over the map with its chaotic messaging about COVID, stoking fear of the Delta variant to try to goose lagging vaccination numbers. This fear and confusion have spooked the market due to worries that the government might impose another pointless economic lockdown. I have to assume that at some point, the truth will prevail and the market will rebound (if Biden doesn’t K.O. it with inflation, which is another story.) Here are some facts about the current situation to help calm the artificial panic.

Contrary to what President Biden claimed, the Delta variant is NOT “deadlier” than the original virus. Just as with most viruses, it’s mutated to a form that spreads easier, since it’s trying to stay alive as there are fewer and fewer potential hosts, thanks to vaccines and natural immunity in those who’ve recovered. But it’s actually less dangerous than the original virus.

https://nypost.com/2021/07/08/dont-buy-the-hysteria-the-delta-variant-is-actually-less-dangerous/

As the Wall Street Journal reports, the recent spike in cases in the UK has not resulted in hospitalizations or deaths anywhere near those of the original pandemic. The previous peak in the UK came in January with a seven-day average of 50,000 cases, out of which 40,000 required hospitalization and there were 1,000 deaths. The latest surge was 25,000, with 2,000 hospitalized and an average daily death rate of less than 20.

Bottom line: the Delta variant can kill and must be taken seriously, but it is not deadlier than the original. While no vaccine is 100% effective, the new cases are mostly among the unvaccinated and those without natural immunity. The vaccinated who do catch it are more likely to have mild symptoms. A case could be made that shutting down the economy again, with the attendant bankruptcies, suicides, depression, drug abuse and postponed medical care for other problems, would be deadlier than the virus.

I won’t tell someone else that they have to get vaccinated, but know that these are the risks you’re taking, and they’re serious. But it’s not the apocalypse. The spike is caused by the virus itself fighting against dying out. The worst thing the Administration could do is exactly what they’re doing: shredding their own credibility by trying to incite a needless panic.

To paraphrase FDR, the virus may be scary, but we can only make it worse if our leaders gin up fear of fear itself. I miss the days when Democrat Presidents occasionally said things that made sense.

CRT Advocates Try A Different Tack

By Mike Huckabee

Now that parents are catching on and rising up against the racist indoctrination of their children by schools pushing Critical Race Theory, those behind it are trying to deny that’s what they’re doing, even as they continue to push for the same goals. In short, they’re talking softly, but carrying on the same shtick.

Here’s an example of an organization like that. It’s being promoted by the Biden Department of Education, and while it’s deliberately vague about whether it pushes CRT, here’s a quote from its board chairwoman that should give you a clue or two: "If you don’t recognize that White supremacy is in everything we do, then we got a problem. I want us to be feared."

https://www.foxnews.com/us/biden-admin-promotes-radical-group-critical-race-theory-schools

There’s a lot more at the link. I don’t think these radicals should be feared, because that might keep people from speaking out against them. Instead, they should be exposed and removed entirely from our school system.


Fauci Back In The Hot Seat

By Mike Huckabee

Who says there’s nothing entertaining on TV anymore? Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci was back in the hot seat before the Senate, and it got blistering when Sen. Rand Paul, who is also a doctor, drilled down on his reported funding and support for “gain of function” virus research. That’s when viruses from sources like…let’s say, bats…are altered in the lab to make them more transmissible to humans, so that their effects can be studied.

In years past, Fauci made comments about the benefits of such dangerous experiments outweighing the risks, and it’s believed that the NIH under Fauci funded such research. If it turns out that COVID originated in the Wuhan lab, Paul wants Fauci to take partial responsibility for those risks that resulted in a deadly pandemic. He also quoted Fauci’s emails in which colleagues expressed fears that that was the case, but he publicly dismissed them. Fauci angrily accused Paul of not knowing what he was talking about. But Paul replied that Fauci can call him a liar, but he didn’t produce any facts that contradicted him. There are more details and video here:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/rand-paul-anthony-fauci-intimidates-scientists

Later, Sen. Paul told Sean Hannity that he will ask the DOJ for a criminal referral against Fauci for lying to Congress.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2021/07/21/rand-paul-seeks-doj-criminal-referral-to-hold-that-lying-sack-fauci-accountable-n2592856

In further Fauci news, the doc says he agrees with the American Academy of Pediatrics that it’s “reasonable” to require all children older than two to wear masks all day at school.

https://www.westernjournal.com/fauci-now-wants-mask-3-year-old-school-calls-reasonable-thing/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=huckabee

I’m not a doctor. I don’t even play one on TV, like some people I could name. But I’ve already written at length about the many problems with making children wear masks for hours, from developmental issues to forcing them to breathe dangerous levels of CO2 to all the bacteria and viruses that get on the masks and are then pressed tightly over their mouths and noses. Here are a couple of links as reminders. I hope someone forwards them to Dr. Fauci and the AAP.

Jeff Bezos Makes News...Twice

By Mike Huckabee

Tuesday, billionaire Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos returned safely from a trip to the edge of space on one of his Blue Origin private spacecrafts. Immediately afterward, he announced that he was giving $100 million, no strings attached, to leftwing CNN commentator Van Jones and celebrity chef Jose Andres. He calls it his “Courage and Civility Award.” They are free to give the money to their own charities or non-profits or to others’.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/jeff-bezos-giving-100-million-jose-andres-van-jones-after-blue-origin-rocket-flight

Andres runs a charity called World Central Kitchen that provides food to victims of natural disasters, so I can see how the money will be well-spent there. However, the grant to Jones raised criticism and eyebrows.

Full disclosure: while Van and I couldn’t be further apart on political issues, I consider him a friend and a Christian brother, and he is that rare liberal who will put aside politics to work across the political spectrum for good causes. Here’s a segment from “Huckabee” on TBN where he was my guest and we talked about his series “The Redemption Project.” If he uses the money for causes like this, then I can’t get too exercised about it.

https://youtu.be/bU0lrpDhrPI

What has some people questioning the appropriateness of the grant was the wall-to-wall positive coverage of Bezos on CNN, but that was going on well before the awards were revealed. Maybe with Trump gone, they’re desperate for anything to talk about. On the other hand, considering CNN’s ratings, I could understand why they’d want to suck up to any billionaire who’s handing out money.


Ben & Jerry's Leftist Virtue Signaling Update

By Mike Huckabee

Here’s an update on the latest leftist virtue signaling by Ben & Jerry’s, the premium ice cream for wealthy, decadent socialists. I reported that the brand announced it would not sell its ice cream in “occupied Palestinian territory,” meaning certain parts of Israel, a move that got it praised by the anti-Semitic BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement. The prime minister of Israel warned parent company Unilever of “severe consequences” for its boycott decision. Well, here they come…

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/07/19/the-stock-market-tumbles-and-joe-bidens-response-is-unbelievable-n413091

First of all, that article points out that no part of Israel is “occupied Palestinian territory.” Israel took over the West Bank when it won the 1967 war against Jordan and its Arab allies, and the Israelis have a claim on that territory going back to Biblical times.

More to the current point, Israeli law requires local distributors to sell products in all of Israel, so this is an illegal decision that could get Ben & Jerry’s removed from the entire nation’s store shelves. In addition, 35 US states have made it illegal to boycott Israel, which hurts both Israelis and Palestinians, so they might have opened up a legal can of worms in two-thirds of the US. Finally, a number of grocers in the New York area and beyond announced that they will stop carrying Ben & Jerry’s ice cream over this.

Moral: Don’t let radical leftists run your ice cream company if you don’t want your business to suffer a complete meltdown.

    I want you to know that I never miss reading your posts to my email account! Some days I have as many as 6 to 8 stacked up from days I didn't have time to look at my gmail account. In catching up I eliminated nearly 90% of my posts, but part of the remaining approx 10% were always your messages. That is how much faith & trust I have in your words. I've posted comments on here many times & was pleasantly surprised to see one of my comments posted. I will say again that I am very angry & frustrated over the current administration's determination to kill the constitution & our freedoms particularly free speech & the right to bear arms. I am appalled at the border crisis & dangerous illegal alien influx unchecked & ignored by Biden & Harris. As a middle class white american who has stood against racism my whole life & always supported equality I am highly insulted by CRT & woke platforms relative to "white supremacy". As a middle class citizen my family is already a victim of Biden's fiscal policies that are resulting in prices for gas, groceries, etc being inflated to the point we cannot afford to live. Biden is literally stealing our quality of life & denegrating our work ethic in his effort to control everything. His demeanor I liken to "I am your daddy & know what's best for you" is insulting & demeaning & just pure & simple pisses me off! And don't even get me started on the RINO woke sheeples that are in collusion with these leftist liberal democrats! Where is the outrage??? Where is the fight??? Unless we can come together as one big flame instead of thousands of little fires this battle is going to be lost. Thank you for keeping us informed with facts & truth, but I have to tell you...I am quickly loosing faith in the redemption of this country. FYI, I have not & will not ever be taking these covid vaccinations! The current scientific research scares the crap out of me & I have no intention of participating in a Dr. Jekle Mr. Hyde experiment! And, in my humble opinion, allowing your children to be vaccinated is comparable to child abuse.

    Stop buying liberal,progressive socialist Ben& Jerry’s. They are irrelevant and there are other good choices! Poor Pelosi might have a hissy as her 1,000.00 freezer is filled with expensive ice cream…just won’t be ben&jerrys. Poor thing. Boycott, hit these men where it HURTS! In their pocketbook!!!

    Capone had the cops, the news in his pocket. All through the years people are&we’re bought off, like Hillary who gladly accepted millions from a handful of Muslim countries as they Stoned, Raped&hung the Women (hillarys female supporters wore I’m with her T shirts) BLIND,DEAF & DUMB + as Muslims threw homosexuals off tall buildings, again,????Hillary claiming to support gays. Then, you have Joe Biden, his son, his brother bought off with MILLIONS from Communist China. Why do you think the lapdogs only regurgitate ????, hide, cover up truth&facts? Money. Bought off, sold their souls leaving them with NO conscience values beliefs morals or integrity.

Come on man! Reasonable to put pathogen filthy masks on children or adults is ludicrous PLUS inhaling UNHEALTHY CO2! Insane! Where is the REST of our Republican Conservative Christian government officials to help Paul, support firing Fauci etc?

    ??Biden’s department of indoctrination, I mean, education. DO NOT FEAR any board of anything! We are blessed with a sound mind, not a fearful one! CRT MUST GO! Indoctrination MUST END! And anyone with a smidgen of indoctrinating MUST BE FIRED!! PARENTS WAKE UP, GET UP, get to the meetings with the neighborhood moms, dads, grandparents, all tax payers and SPEAK OUT AGAINST indoctrination! Take CONTROL of your child, what he/she is being taught! Take an ACTIVE role in their education, friends, music, hobbies, interests. Be an involved care giver!

    I tried to copy & paste the Gainesville, FL article about the parents who had children's masks tested (under Fauci hot seat article). When I tried to post on FB I was stopped by FB nazis, saying I CANNOT POST-SOMMENT FOR 3 DAYS because I posted or shared something, previously, that didn't meet their biased rules, so now I'm back in FB jail again, for the 9th time in less than a year. How do you like them apples??? AMERICA IS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A SAY IN IT, EITHER. THAT'S WHY MR. TRUMP WAS DENIED JUSTICE. HOW DO WE GET OUR REAL AMERICA BACK??????

    I am really starting to take offense to being called white Supremest. I equate that to how black people feel when called the “n” word. I am born the way I am with the color skin and am not any way granted any supremacy and take offense.

    Everyone is so worried about the increase of covid cases now because of the Delta variant - has anyone put two and two together and said maybe we have an increase in covid because of all the illegal immigrants coming into our country who have not even been tested. Biden so wants to push vaccination for all Americans especially childlren - where is the push to vaccinate all the illegal immigrants?
