Joshua 1:9


Keystone Pipeline Politics

By Mike Huckabee

If President Biden was going to make other nations love us more by replacing Trump, he’s not doing a very good job of schmoozing Canada. After leaving them holding the bag for billions by abruptly and pointlessly canceling the Keystone XL pipeline (while approving a Russian pipeline), the Biden White House is now begging OPEC to increase oil production to ease skyrocketing gas prices. And if you think his unfathomable actions are infuriating now-unemployed pipeline construction workers, try talking to the Premier or the Energy Minister of Alberta, Canada.

Related: Having killed the Keystone XL Pipeline project just because Trump approved it and environmentalists opposed it, the Biden White House is trying to quietly allow the lesser-known Line 3 Pipeline in Minnesota to continue construction, despite similar environmentalist protests. Critics say it’s an admission that Biden knows there was no legitimate reason to kill the Keystone project other than politics.

For those who insist that we had to kill Keystone to somehow save the Earth: one way or another, we need energy, and it’s better that we create it ourselves than have to depend on OPEC for it. It’s also a lot safer for the environment to send it through a carbon-neutral pipeline than on big ships that can leak into the ocean, trucks that can turn over or trains that can derail.

As I’ve noted before, one study found that using diesel trains to transport the same amount of oil to the refineries that would have flowed through the Keystone XL Pipeline will generate pollution equal to putting an additional 400,000 cars on the road. But I guess that’s okay, as long as you’re doing it to “save the planet.”

“Even a Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day” Desk

By Mike Huckabee

From our “Even a Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day” Desk: Kudos to National Public Radio, of all outlets, for calling out the CDC for spreading misinformation. The CDC claimed that the Delta variant of COVID-19 is “as transmissible as chicken pox,” one of the most contagious viruses known. As NPR pointed out, that’s only true if you overestimate the contagiousness of Delta and underestimate the contagiousness of chicken pox. It’s two to three times as contagious as the original COVID-19, but it’s no chicken pox.

Republicans And Democrats

By Mike Huckabee

I’m still trying to figure out why 19 Senate Republicans thought we needed to spend $1.2 trillion on a Democrat wish list “infrastructure” bill that spends only about a fifth of its budget on what most people would consider infrastructure. But I’m sure I will never understand why a Republican Senator thinks that now is the perfect time to create a whole lot of new federal judgeships to let the Democrats fill.

The Big Wheel of Random Outrage

By Mike Huckabee

It’s Saturday, so let’s spin the Big Wheel of Random Outrage and select today’s common term that we’re suddenly no longer allowed to use because it’s OFFENSIVE! And the wheel clicks to a…stop…on…”Female!” According to an op-ed in the UC-Santa Barbara newspaper, it is now “uncomfortable,” “dehumanizing” and “overwhelmingly sexist” to use the term “female” to refer to people who are…uh…female.

https://redstate.com/alexparker/2021/08/13/university-of-california-op-ed-insists-calling-women-females-is-dehumanizing-n425743

So, what are we going to call females if we can’t call them females? Maybe we should let the brilliant creative minds at the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine come up with a new term. They’re up for the task. When trans activists complained that “mother” had to be banned because it somehow offended the many men who give birth, the government came up with the laughable term “birthing person.”

But even more creatively, to affirm its “commitment to gender equity and health equity” in creating terminology for “lactation-related” language, the ABM coined the new term “chestfeeding” (I feel sorry for those poor babies, they’re gonna starve); and instead of the offensive sexist term “breastfeeding mother,” they suggest “human milk-feeding individuals.”

That could also apply to the wait person at Denny’s who brings me milk for my corn flakes. Speaking of that, do you know what’s a perfect term for these people? “Flakes.”


High Profile Allegation

By Mike Huckabee

Realizing that most of my readers don’t watch “Saturday Night Live” anymore, I should probably still take notice of this latest high-profile sexual abuse allegation against former cast member Horatio Sanz. In his defense, his attorneys deny the woman's claims and say she’s trying to shake him down for money. Left unanswered: why would the parents of any young teenage girl allow her to go out all night with hard-partying, heavy-drinking celebrities who were twice her age? Warning: disturbing sexual content in this story:

    I have said for a long time that the democrat party is nothing more than an organized crime syndicate that is bleeding the American people blind. I also have to believe that the Republican party is actually part of the same syndicate and they are all in it together. Nothing ever seems to get done by either party. That is why they all hate Trump so. He accomplished quite a bit and he kept his promises to the American people. I don't understand how liberal voters cannot see the evil that is starring them right in the face.

    “The Big Wheel of Random Outrage” mentions the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and their invention of the term “chestfeeding”. You take that a step further and intimate that children who are chestfed will starve. If properly advised, these men who want to be female are using artificial lactating systems to provide milk for their babies. These lactation aids have been used for years by women producing insufficient breastmilk and also in adoptive situations.

    If read thoroughly, the ABM article on inclusive language for breastfeeding covers terminology accuracy in research and the difficulty in addressing all viewpoints worldwide. They (apparently) are attempting to make everyone feel comfortable and, at the same time, be precise in medical terms. After all, men and women really are different at a basic genetics level and genericizing research could be damaging.

    For example, research has shown conclusively that women who breastfeed have a lower incidence of breast cancer; however, men who “chestfeed” will not, simply because they are not really breastfeeding (unless they are females choosing to be men, in which case any male hormones they have been given will also play a part. See? It’s complicated!).

    Children who are breastfed with human breastmilk also have lower incidences of dental caries and otitis media, but those studies would be negated by a generic acceptance of the word breastfeeding to include “chestfeeding”.

    I know nothing about the ABM except what I read on their website, but it would appear they are making a genuine effort to maintain the balance between this crazy new world of inclusiveness and the bottom line: that men are different from women, especially when it comes to scientific research.

    How can we possibly be calm with this latest idiocy of the Biden presidency. Kill our energy producing industry, then beg OPEC to up their production because our economy depends on their oil. There is NO way they spin this to be anything other than. . . . oh, Good Grief! Words fail me. This is on the same idiocy as demanding we turn to electric cars and at the same time killing the coal industry which produced so much of our electricity. Where is Mary Poppins when we need her. She could teach us how to fly, and also to provide energy just by singing for it.

    The people running our country are certified fools unless their goal is to ruin the country and to discourage any outsider from ever attempting to disrupt the entrenched bureaucracy. Bureaucracy has become a dirty word. These people actually want this to be a Socialist/ Communist nation. Progressives like Bernie and AOC are, in fact, Marxists. Why the people of Vermont, one of the original 13 colonies, would vote for this Communist is a mystery to me.
