BREAKING NEWS: Parler sues Amazon after being shut down

By Mike Huckabee

On Monday, Parler filed suit against Amazon for violating their contract by taking them offline, and also for breaking anti-trust laws, as Amazon continues to provide service to Parler's competitor, Twitter.

They also claim that this action was taken not just to help Twitter but out of political animus, violating Parler's civil rights. Details here.

Problems with impeachment

By Mike Huckabee

I already told you about the quixotically dumb idea of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats to impeach President Trump with less than two weeks to go before he leaves office anyway. They’re even saying that it could go on beyond January 20th, so he would be impeached even after he’s already left office. They’re like a deranged dog with a fixation on chewing the mail carrier’s leg off.

In an interview with “60 Minutes,” Pelosi even admitted that the reason why this pointless partisan exercise is more important than, say, providing relief to people suffering from Democrat virus shutdowns is because they’re trying to prevent Trump from being elected again.

Pelosi declared, "This president is guilty of inciting insurrection. He has to pay a price for that."

Apparently, she didn’t learn from her first failed attempt at impeaching Trump that you have to have actual evidence. I criticized Trump’s rhetoric myself, but legal experts have gone over what he said last week, and nothing in his speech meets the legal definition of inciting violence or insurrection. He even specifically called on his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices be heard.” As law professor Jonathan Turley points out, it would damage the Constitution by setting a precedent of impeaching a President for comments protected by the First Amendment.

Here’s the lack of evidence of incitement explained in even more detail, with a little Latin thrown in for good measure:

After all, it’s not as if he supported and cheered on protesters who stormed into and occupied Pelosi’s office, as Pelosi and AOC did in 2018. Or urged people to commit violence against the President and his supporters, as at least ten Democratic members of Congress did.

There are also a number of other problems with this impeachment scenario. As law professor Alan Dershowitz points out, Senate rules won’t allow the case to be taken up until 1 p.m. January 20th, an hour after Trump leaves office, “and the Constitution specifically says, ‘The President shall be removed from office upon impeachment.’ It doesn’t say the former president. Congress has no power to impeach or try a private citizen, whether it be a private citizen named Donald Trump or named Barack Obama or anyone else.”

But others claim it can be done, and what they really want is to disqualify Trump from being able to run again (wow, they sure seem terrified that he would be reelected after four years of them in charge, which I’m inclined to agree with.) Here’s an article from Reuters making that claim.

However, law professor Glenn Reynolds argues impeachment only disqualifies someone from holding “offices of trust or profit,” which are appointed, not elected offices. Senators can’t tell the voters whom they’re allowed to elect as President. They don’t get a veto on that.

Besides, conviction in the Senate would still require a two-thirds vote, and I don’t know how many Republican Senators from solid Trump states really want to flush their careers down the porcelain convenience just to impeach a President who’s already left office. Maybe, if they try really hard, they could think of something more productive to do with their well-paid time.

Try again Nancy

By Mike Huckabee

How can you tell when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reeeeeeally on the wrong side of an issue? When even PBS and CBS call her on it. And wow, does she not like that!

Stop the presses

By Mike Huckabee

A major liberal media outlet has finally run an article about Hunter Biden. It’s a puff piece in Vanity Fair about him starting an art career, but it’s a start. Personally, I can’t wait to find out how he ends up making $50,000 a month as a starving artist.

Big surprise

By Mike Huckabee

Big surprise, movie box office receipts took a major hit in 2020, dropping from $11 billion a year in North America to $2.3 billion, and $42.5 billion to $11 billion worldwide.

Frankly, I’m surprised it was that much, considering how most theaters were shut down completely for much of 2020. Theaters in some non-blue states are back open at limited capacity, but people are still wary of returning. The revenues came largely from pay-per-view home streaming releases, which doesn’t help theater chains, and a bit of good news: drive-in theaters, a great American tradition that was dying out, suddenly got a revival. Let’s hope that after the pandemic passes, people remember how much fun drive-ins can be and keep supporting them, especially since many are locally-owned.

By the way, here’s a note from our pop culture expert, Pat Reeder:

“Laura and I already had the Covid, so we go to the movies to help support our local businesses and because we like to see movies on the big screen. However, we haven’t seen a new movie in ages. We’ve recently seen ‘Rear Window,’ ‘The Blues Brothers,’ ‘Fiddler on the Roof,’ ‘Anchorman,’ ‘The Birds,’ ‘Spaceballs’ and we’re going again soon to see the Marx Brothers in ‘Duck Soup.’ I honestly tried to find something new last weekend, but there wasn’t a single thing we had any interest in seeing. Here's a crazy thought: Maybe if Hollywood wants to get people back into theaters, they should try making good movies again.”

CCP comes to USA

By Mike Huckabee

Joy Pullman at the Federalist has a must-read round-up of the Great Purge of wrongthink people by Big Tech and other large corporations, and the push for total personal destruction of political opponents by the slanderously misnamed "Lincoln Project" (Abe must be spinning in his grave that they've stolen his name.) She makes the point that they learned these tactics from the Chinese Communist Party’s “social credit” system and are bringing it to America.

This is something that’s long been in the works under the guise of “cancel culture,” social media outrage mobs and public shaming. In case you’re not familiar with it, China uses social media, phone records, thousands of public surveillance cameras with facial recognition technology and other “Big Brother”-like means to keep tabs on everyone’s words and behavior.

If you say or do anything – ANYTHING, even jaywalking – that displeases the government, it goes on your record. Then, when you attempt to exercise any freedom, such as buying a train ticket, you may find that you are not allowed to because your social credit score is too low. The stated goal – indeed, a line used to sell this as a wonderful idea – is that if you follow all the rules and never do or say the "wrong" thing, you can do anything you want. But if you are a bad person who violates the rules or says the “wrong” thing too often, you won’t be allowed to step outside your house. It’s the ultimate in totalitarian control, and notice how it relies on the aid of high tech companies to enforce?

When asked about this, the Chinese will tell you it’s a wonderful system, and they support it completely – but then, what else are they going to say? They're terrified to tell the truth. Here in America, we still have the freedom to call it what it is: an Orwellian nightmare of censorship and intimidation that should be stopped at all costs – but for how long will we keep that freedom? If some people who currently hold a lot of money and power and falsely believe they occupy the moral high ground have their say, not for very long.

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY

    Big tech is never going to be silenced by the Congress or the Senate. Our congress and senators talk, talk, talk but never do anything but harass a President who has done more in four years than Clinton, Obama and both Bushes (dont get me started on those two). Our government now are now paid actors and internal terrorist. They all support the left when push comes to shove. There are so many RINO's, there is no longer a Rep party. Sorry Elephant no more money from this boy until you people get serious about representing Americans, not you back pocket and China.

    How do you get control of big tech and Siliconia? Simple cancel them out. Do without the stinking sites for a month and they will crash. Try it. I don't have any of the "social media" channels nor to I intend to. I saw this censorship coming a long time ago. Big tech etc is now your master. Get a grip and cancel them NOW. Go back to emails and leave them to crash. Seriously it could be done, but who will do it? Nobody, everybody wants to Twit and Facebook.

    It appears we don't have a functional FBI anymore. The DOJ is dead on arrival even at the state level. Media is the communist party/KG? whatever, The Supreme Court is a sham. They can't hear the evidence in the "Election" farce but they can take up the LBGT group's case! Boy is our country in great shape or what? Welcome to USSA (United States of Socialism &Anarchy) .

    Sorry Gov I had to write this or kick my dog. OOPs I dont have a dog.
    God Bless America, PLEASE

    Where is the ACLU? I cannot find anything on line where the ACLU is protecting Parler or any of the conservatives speech????

    In my county the .school Board just suspended, with pay, two school teachers, with more to come, for attending the Wednesday rally in DC. Certainly if they actually stormed the Capitol the should not only be suspended but fired and arrested. However, it was a very small number of the crowd that participated in the fiasco. If they did not and were just part of a peaceful protest, are school teachers no longer allowed freedom of speech and assembly? Frankly, although I am not much of a sue for everything person, if I only attended and did not break the law, I would sue them for millions for defamation of character. First you investigate, then you suspend.

    What is wrong with conservatives. It is so against conservative principals to try to do what they did. However, .I will say to liberals that they may have pushed the buttons too far. People are on,y going to put up with so much defamation. No, they could not prove that there was enough fraud in the election to make a difference. I am no conspiracy theorist cut do think there is enough testimony yo make one believe that he fix was in. I am so afraid that there is going to be a Civil War. The Libs just cant seem to win graciously. Talk about bring over the edge, that’s Nancy. She has let power go to her expensive little head. She cares so much about the poor she wears very expensive designer clothes and has to have a special plane. No doubt the plastic surgery was pretty expensive.

    Any other Pope would probably have excommunicated Joe and Nancy fir there support of unfettered abortion. How can any priest offer communion to them?

    Hi Governor,
    I noticed in your section about "Problems with impeachment" that you referred to senators flushing their careers down the porcelain convenience.

    I believe that concept may be a very large part of our trouble in government today.
    TOO MANY politicians have CAREERS as politicians.

    Just read “CCP Comes to the USA”. I think you’re mistaken regarding the name of the Lincoln Project. I assumed it was named after Lincoln Rockwell; an American Nazi leader. Just a thought

    Keep the faith

    President Trump should have a contest for great nick names for Nancy Pelosi and Shumer as a present for them before he leaves. He might leave behind the idea that ALL LIVES MATTER

    I find it very sad that so many, including some Republicans, have turned against President Trump. How quickly people forget all that President Trump did for our country. When I looked out at that sea of devoted Trump supporters last Wednesday, I thought it was amazing that so many citizens could be squeezed together without any violence or trash left on the ground, etc.. I maintain that Antifa was involved in the initial break-in, but will the FBI ever tell us the truth? I hope and pray this horrific incident doesn't tarnish Trump's reputation forever. That would be so cruel to this man and his family who worked so hard without salary to make America great again.
