BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY 

 

Note to Rhode Island Democratic Senator and conspiracy theorist Sheldon Whitehouse

By Mike Huckabee

If the FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh failed to turn up the unsupported sexual assault accusation against him, maybe it’s not because of a vast conspiracy to corrupt the FBI with Trump using all that power he had over them that somehow didn’t stop them from trying to undermine his presidency at every turn. Maybe it’s just because there had never been a hint of scandal about Kavanaugh to find until the moment he was nominated for the Supreme Court, when the left became frantic to do anything to stop his confirmation.

I’d like to introduce Sen. Whitehouse to something called “Occam’s Razor.” It’s the principle that the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

The Atlanta Shootings

By Mike Huckabee

I didn’t write yet about the tragic series of shootings at three massage parlors in Atlanta on Tuesday because it didn’t appear to have a political aspect to it. But leave it to today’s left to find racial politics in everything.

The alleged shooter is a white male while six of the eight victims were Asian women, so some commentators immediately leapt to the conclusion that, of course, it was a racially motivated shooting by a white supremacist. The shooter told the police race had nothing to do with it, so they assume he must be a racist because denying you’re a racist means you’re a racist (as does admitting you’re a racist…so basically, everyone’s a racist.) The digital magazine The Root even published an article about it titled “Whiteness is a Pandemic,” comparing some people’s skin color to a deadly disease.

This may be a crazy idea, but since the shooter told the police why he did it, maybe we should consider that as a possibility. He claims he’s a sex addict and blames the massage parlors, and he wanted to eliminate them. That sounds crazy, but then, so does going on a shooting rampage, so it fits. Maybe his victims weren’t Asian because he’s a white supremacist who wanted to kill Asians but because he’s a nut and that’s who works in Asian massage parlors. That’s a whole different issue that society could deal with, but the current obsession with seeing every problem in terms of nothing but race has made it impossible to deal with anything rationally.

Personally, I pray for a day when good people of all colors can come together in agreement that there’s no longer a place in society for the sickening racism of so-called anti-racists. And I’m not the only one saying that.

Biden and Putin

By Mike Huckabee

Maybe this is why President Biden’s staff is so terrified of him holding an unscripted press conference: in an excerpt from an upcoming ABC interview, Biden was asked if he agrees that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a killer. He replied, “I do.”

That’s now sparked an international incident, with Russia recalling its ambassador and threatening additional actions. The deputy chairman of the upper house of Russia’s Parliament called Biden’s answer a watershed moment in the relationship between the US and Russia and said such a comment "is not allowed from the mouth of a statesman of such a rank."

So wait: does this mean that when Trump was cordial to Putin, it didn’t mean that he was a Russian puppet but that he was just acting diplomatically because that’s the President’s job? Why didn’t someone explain this to Joe Biden?

Biden Administration Clamps Talk Down About The Border

By Mike Huckabee

President Biden’s thoughtless reversal of all of Trump’s border security policies has created a massive surge of illegal immigration and a security and humanitarian crisis on the border. Attempts to blame it on Trump were greeted with appropriate eye-rolling. So he’s falling back on another favorite tactic: holding the press behind barriers so they can't see what's happening. Reporters and cameras aren’t allowed into the detention facilities that are reportedly at over 700% capacity with children forced to sleep on the floors. And border officers have been put under a gag order and told not to talk to or cooperate with the media.

When pressed about this cover-up of his disaster, Biden’s spokesperson Jen Psaki insisted that he still supports “transparency,” but they have to observe COVID protocols and protect “the privacy of people who are staying in those facilities.”

News flash: it’s not a five-star Hollywood rehab resort. And if he cares about COVID protocols, why is he allowing so many COVID-positive migrants to enter the US at all? At latest report, that’s up to 50% of the ones who’ve been captured.

The only thing that’s transparent about this Administration so far is its transparently bogus excuses for its own ineptitude.

Republicans Fight Back

By Mike Huckabee

Republicans are finally wising up and using the left’s own tactics against them. Just as the left used countless lawsuits to stymie President Trump’s executive orders, red states are doing the same to counter President Biden’s flurry of radical, destructive EO’s.

Wednesday, 21 state Attorneys General, led by Texas and Montana, filed a federal lawsuit accusing Biden of overstepping his authority by canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline project.

The lawsuit argues that by unilaterally canceling the project and voiding agreed-upon interstate and international contracts, Biden usurped the power to regulate international and interstate commerce that the Constitution reserves solely to Congress. He also violated the rules set by Congress for what actions the President may take regarding the Pipeline. In addition, by doing this under the auspices of his global climate initiatives, he is illegally altering US domestic policy with the intention of conducting foreign policy.

They also point out, just incidentally, that there isn’t even a real environmental justification to canceling the Pipeline beyond virtue-signaling to the environmentalist lobby. As I wrote here before, the oil still has to get to the refineries somehow, and if it’s not flowing through a carbon-neutral pipeline, it will have to be transported by diesel trains with the pollution equivalent of adding over 400,000 new cars to the highways.

I’m not a lawyer, but that sounds a lot more solid than some of the cases that hamstrung Trump, like arguing that he had no power to enforce immigration laws that had been on the books for years.

Also joining in the legal battle: Ohio’s Attorney General is suing the Administration to overturn the part of the $1.9 trillion “COVID-19 relief” bill that bars states that accept relief funds from lowering taxes. The case claims that infringes on Ohio’s sovereign authority to set its own tax rates.

I hope there will soon be many more such lawsuits, from states, conservative legal groups, individuals, churches and any other entities that care about preserving America from the aggressive and out-of-control left. If the unconstitutional HR1 Legalizing Vote Fraud Act makes it past the Senate, I trust that the lawsuits to throw it out are already prepared for filing the second Biden signs it.

A Reader Writes Back...

Thank you for endorsing "Recall Gavin Newsom." Often times, I feel no one from Washington is listening to us or cares. I'm from California, my husband is white and I'm African American (true African American, born in Africa and naturalized American). We are not white supremacists and it's not about color or party (no shocker there pulling out the race card). The governor needs to do his job! Ask Newsom why he locked down small businesses throughout California, but his wineries in Napa were fully operational and how he dined out, mask free, to celebrate a birthday at a very expensive restaurant. This, along with his other inabilities to run our state, except into the ground, is WHY we want him gone. Perish the thought he should some day be our president! I honestly believe Newsom didn't think the recall would get this far, because the other attempts failed. Just like the democrats didn't think Trump would take the presidency, govenor gav, thought he was untouchable!

    This is so much like past corrupt and debilitating governments corralling guaranteed rights of citizens that led to civil and world wars. What is your advice to soooooo many patriots that hold judgement against the betraying authority?

    Democrats reflexive attempt to blame everything on President Trump reminds me of a story my grandfather told me about my uncle and mom. Mom (Jean) was the oldest of 3 and my uncle (Harvey) was next. At about age 2, he developed the habit (as many siblings do) of blaming his older sister. One day he had obviously had an accident (pants wet to his knees) and was asked "Harvey did you wet your pants?" His instant reply was "Nope, Jean did it".
    So basically Democrats are acting like two year old children and refusing to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

    Biden voters your leader is a comparison to a marshmallow held over intense heat a dripping mess. Biden has called Putin a killer, soulless and Putin responded Biden’s handlers had to get a fresh set of clothes as Biden soiled all his garments and accessories yes he needed a diaper change and a shower to cleanse himself Biden is a coward and crying pity and he is your president

    As the msm broadcast’s American fifty laundry to the world I wonder if our enemies are getting ready to take advantage of America in a hostile form. China’s influenced media in America is now ready to show the brain dead leadership to the world and I wonder if they may think the time is right to invade. Oh wait the challenge on the southern border has been happening for the last 2 months is the leadership defending America? only in one area, the nation’s capital Americans how safe does it feel with Biden in charge of our security??????

    Mr. Huckabee, I owe you a profound apology from the bottom of my heart. After the bad comment that I made to you, I informed my family. In a not so polite manner, I was told that I was arrogant, egotistical, and a total jerk for what I did and definitely not Christian. As I reflect back on what I said, I am ashamed. You are a good man with a great heart for this country and the truth. I have asked God for forgiveness and I am asking for yours. Please keep doing what you do, the American People need you.

    Hey Gov Huckabee,
    thank you so much for your news report everyday I read it all. So much honest news I can depend on.
    I just have one Question for you after reading this news letter: does that mean that Joe Biden after 47 years in Congress on tax payer money still does not know the laws of the Constitution. Since most of Biden’s EO have been Constitutionally challenged by Republicans in Congress or By State Governor’s and States Attorney General. President Donald Trump, on the other hand, who had never held a Government job, yet managed to stay within the laws of the Constitution and accomplish so many truly great things for America and WeThePeople. When you put their lives side by side there is no real comparison. I’m talking about how different their life making decisions have been and where it will take them now.
    President Trump is truly the best President of America and the best President of WeThePeople in my 88 year lifetime. He loves America and wants what works best for the American people. I am not sure there has been another President in my life time that cared except Reagan and he gave up after he was shot. The Democrats have always wanted the power to control everything and quite frankly they have shown they have no respect for the religious majority in America. There are some truly good Republicans in Congress if they are willing to stand strong against the tyranny this country faces now, I believe they will win because I believe God will be standing with them. I am praying for them. God Bless America and God Bless WeThePeople

    Your note to Congressman Whitehouse about Occam's razor was particularly on point. Unfortunately, it is the most reality challenged (and apparently in Whitehouse's case intellectually challenged) who can not apply Occam's Razor.

    Gov. in addition to the email I sent my Virginia Senators to oppose the anti-gun bill, I also wrote and asked them both to oppose the nomination of Dr. Rachel Levine for the assistant secretary of health position. I wrote, in part:

    "Please vote NO on the confirmation of Levine for assistant secretary of health. The views held by this person are extreme, and do not reflect the views of the majority of Americans. The Democrat party considers itself to be the "party of science", but IGNORES science when it comes to gender (there are only TWO, male and female) and the ability of a child to make such a potentially life-changing decision as to decide to "change genders". Why when I was a youngster, I wanted to be a cowboy one week, a fireman the next week, and an astronaut after that. Please use common sense and oppose this nomination."

    I am from California too and signed the recall for Governor Nonsense as many of us here call him. I agree with the comments from the other lady from California. I am retired with time on my hands to keep on top of events in my state. We want the recall and are in a process to make a listing of men and women more qualified that he. We have many problems and you have outlined many in your newsletter. We made a grave mistake in closing facilities needed for mental health people. We are learning many homeless need this kind of facilities especially veterans with mental scares from their military experiences. We have a public school system which needs revamping and control of this education back in the hands of parents and local communities. Teachers don't want unions; they want to teach. I could make this list longer. We have two senators that need to go and one leading the house who Archie Bunker would have called a ding bat. We pray a lot here; we are back in church 350 at a time, some clergy hold services enough on weekends to cover their church population. We sanitize the church so much we can't smell anything but the stuff. Confession is some churches are Toot and Tell--Priest comes to your car and you go to Confession. I have to say I smile at times how people together can still rule their destiny. We are called the state of fruits and nuts but even that has taken on a new meaning. God Help Us!

    Thank you for the update on the Atlanta shootings. I saw the interview w/Harris and no one seems to have filled her in as to the reason for the shootings. She took it upon herself to speculate on her own and of course she was wrong. Biden's days are numbered and to think someone is going to have to train this incompetent individual how to do her job. Oh the horror of it all!!

    I just sent messages to my two Virginia Senators Warner and Kaine on their "Contact" websites, requesting each of them to vote NO on the House-passed anti-gun bill, the "Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021" when it comes up for a vote in the Senate.

    I told them that (a) the bill will do nothing to deter crime, since criminals get their guns illegally, and do not undergo background checks, (but it will adversely affect us law-abiding citizens' self-defense efforts), and (b) the bill, if passed, will be unconstitutional, since our 2A rights were granted by God, and not the government.
