A tough week for America

By Mike Huckabee

This has been a tough week for America. It’s been an embarrassing and disgusting week for those of us who believe that the recent Presidential election was tainted with unanswered questions about fraud and massive voting irregularities. Whatever hopes we had that there might be a sincere investigation into the evidence that the media claimed didn’t exist was wiped out by a hot-headed mob at our nation’s Capitol. To be clear, of the tens of thousands of protesters and demonstrators who descended on Washington, most really were peaceful, law abiding patriots who love God, their families and their country. But those who stormed our Nation’s Capitol, ignored and fought the police, broke windows and doors and vandalized the offices of members of Congress and the Capitol itself were not patriots. They were a mob. A violent, lawless, and reckless mob engaged in criminal acts. Some of those participating in this mayhem or who tried to defend it tried to compare the actions of the mob to those of our Founders in the American Revolution. The violence at the Capitol this week was not at all like the American Revolution.

The Revolution of 1776 was carefully thought out. It was meticulously planned, and carried out by people who had exhausted all avenues to peacefully secure their liberty and to rid themselves of the intolerable behavior of their mother country, England. They declared their independence in a carefully crafted document and pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. They did not act spontaneously or compulsively. Their actions were thoroughly contemplated and the consequences were fully understood. What happened this week was carried out by hot-headed people moved by raw rage. There was no rational consideration of the consequences. There are no excuses or explanations for endangering innocent people, destroying public property, and challenging the authority of law enforcement. Even if 95% of that crowd were God-fearing law-abiding citizens who are rightfully angry that their beloved Republic is being taken over by Marxists and the useful idiots in the media who follow along, there is still no justification for the mayhem. Some of the rioters even quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but Dr. King NEVER got so fed up with the horrible and unjust treatment by the government and said, “That’s it—let’s storm the Capitol and break windows and occupy the chamber.”

The American Revolution indeed became violent and resulted in a war but they were not a mob, who in a blind rage launched something they had no plan to fulfill. They articulated their grievances, requested relief, and only after all possible remedies were rebuffed did they declare independence.

WE must be the voice of reason and rationality. The mob set back the conservative patriotic cause of limited government and a government that provides justice equally. This angry mob of played right into the hands of the press and the left.

I support the many policies President Trump implemented to put America First. I’m glad he stood up to China and Russia, brought manufacturing jobs back to America, cut taxes because he believed that you could spend the money you worked for better than the government, fought to protect the lives of unborn children, protected religious liberty, stood with Israel against those who sought to annihilate her, and who appointed Constitutionalists to the courts. I don’t blame him because some who supported him devolved into criminal activity and tried to take over our nation’s Capitol. But to be fair and honest, his language about the election being stolen probably cost us 2 Senate seats in Georgia and gave some people the false sense that it was justifiable to storm past police barricades and take over the Capitol. Joe Biden will be the next President. It’s not who I voted for but I won’t burn down the country because he’s President. I will speak out for my views and I will faithfully vote in every election. But as disgusted as I was when Black Lives Matter and Antifa followers were burning our cities, looting stores and attacking police officers, I’m equally disgusted when people who may share many of my views do the same thing. I don’t care what their politics are, they are lawless thugs and need to be found, charged and prosecuted. I can’t teach my children and grandchildren to obey the rules of my house if I can’t be trusted to obey the laws of my nation!

TO LEAVE ME A COMMENT, GO HERE---->

Washington is stained Nancy

By Mike Huckabee

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are calling on Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and immediately remove President Trump from office, blaming him for inciting the violent protesters who vandalized and broke into the Capitol. Pelosi said, “The gleeful desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple of our American democracy, and the violence targeting Congress are horrors that will forever stain our nation’s history — instigated by the president of the United States — that’s why this is such a stain.”

She’s right, Washington is as stained as an old pair of farm overalls, but those mud stains didn’t all appear yesterday. Just as a reminder:

Throughout spring and summer of 2020, up until polls showed it was hurting Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer were publicly supportive of violent “protesters” who rioted, burned and looted America’s cities nationwide, including Washington, DC. They not only attacked and vandalized national monuments and federal buildings in the nation’s capital, they staged longterm assaults on local and federal officers, seized private property, threatened citizens, and laid siege to a federal courthouse in Portland, throwing Molotov cocktail-like fire bombs into it. That courthouse is just as much federal property and a temple of American democracy as the Capitol is.

Pelosi’s response to all that was to support the violent protesters, dismiss concerns about old buildings, and smear officers who were trying to protect federal property as Nazi “stormtroopers.” When called on it, she tried to split hairs by claiming she only said they were “acting like stormtroopers.” Well, that’s different!

I am upset with Trump’s rhetoric, too, and I’ve condemned the violent hotheads who set back the conservative cause with their illegal behavior. But I have zero interest in listening to Pelosi, Schumer or any other Democrat who spent much of 2020 egging on rioters and attacking police piously lecture me about the dangers of irresponsible rhetoric from public officials. Their “moral high ground” is a muddy sinkhole.

DC Statehood push 

By Mike Huckabee

The Mayor of Washington, DC, has been doing such a crackerjack job that she thinks she deserves to be promoted to Governor. She’s calling on the new Congress to send legislation to President Biden’s desk in the first 100 days to make the District of Columbia the 51st state (with, of course, two more permanent Democrat Senators and at least one more far-left voting Representative.)

That article explains why this would be blatantly unconstitutional, although I doubt that would prevent it from happening, considering the makeup of the incoming Congress and White House. It would require a massive and expensive court fight to block it. I fear this is just a preview of what the next two years are going to be like.

Sharp observation

By Mike Huckabee

Mark Steyn, speaking on Wednesday’s TUCKER CARLSON show, had a sharp observation: “It’s always interesting to me that people are surprised when a tactic that’s proved effective for one group of people is then suddenly taken up by other people of whom they don’t approve.”

"There’s been a complete collapse of equality before the law,” Steyn explained. “The more [people on the left] are not subject to any laws, the more onerous the burden that falls upon the law-abiding.” Those on the left can do anything, he said, while those law-abiding souls on the right are “micro-regulated.” (To quote Victor Davis Hanson, “Ideology trumps accountability.”)

"At some point, that has to give,” he said. “And whoever is behind this, to a certain degree, that ‘gave’ today in Washington.”

If that’s what we’re seeing, we conservatives will have to be careful not to become the thing we hate, as so often happens to people. (It’s certainly happened to the left, who used to be pro-free speech.) It may sound cliché to say it at this point, but we really are better than that.

Focus Group-Tested Word Alert

By Mike Huckabee

I’ve noticed that anyone who points out that the same Democrats who supported violent leftist protesters who attacked federal buildings are now condemning violent rightwing protesters who attack federal buildings is being accused of “whataboutism.” For those unfamiliar with this word, it’s a made-up term that means “Stop pointing out my hypocrisy.”

    "FBI begins Frantic Search for info on DC rioters. Hmmm, fbi shows up suddenly ?? Pelosi's laptop missing ? "OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS" ? Watch how many visitors to DC on Jan 6th have their homes raided, their places of business raided, family removed "Roger Stone" style.

    I believe there were BLM in that group of rioting. I think the group needed a leader and a plan. They had to know their march wouldn't work without a leader and a thought out plan. I am still very strong for Trump and these Socialists are just making me madder as they attack Trump. I'm afraid what the Socialists Weill do to our country and our savings. Later,

    I respect your opinion that you did not like Trump’s choice of words. But the majority of the people heard the same speech and they didn’t storm the capital. You can’t blame him for them being nutcases. And the election was stolen and there was fraud. Why would he not say that if that’s the truth? It’s still the truth and I hope others continue to get all the facts. I cannot believe that someone who is on the slippery slope of dementia is going to be our president. And that the state legislatures, the judicial system and all the politicians jus relooked the other way. So disgusted with all of it. Thanks for being a voice of sanity. BTW I read your daughter’s book and it was really good.

    Best regards,

    Absolutely ALL inequalities before the law came from donkeys and blue states because donkeys are the very same fascist communists and it is high time they were banned and criminalized for propaganda of violence!

    Please have your researchers go back into the speeches of
    Adolph Hitler as he was coming into power and his early days in power. I am struck by how much of the Democrat rhetoric mimics many of Hitlers talking points. Both the Third Reich and Stalin’s Russia started with the shut down of true public reporting. If the had the tech media we now have they would have started with censoring the communications apps. People went along with these things because they had been living in such poor conditions and though they these were new waves of justice. Most people were quite poor as they had been serfs or in a depression. The rich were rich and stayed rich. The poor were poor and stayed poor. What little middle class there was , merchants, tailors, artisans, became poorer. The ballerinas, sports heros, well known artists, entertainers of note, political leaders all maintained their high living style one way or the other. Now look at what is happening in this country. We are in the midst of a revolution and soon liberals will be saying, I didn’t know it would come to this. Previous Popes might well have excommunicated the likes of Nancy and Joe but not this very liberal Pope. These are two people, who among other things, promote late term abortion, bear false witness, lie, and in the case of the upcoming VP soon to be president commit adultery that is well known Not one Dem seems to care. Character only counts if you are a Conservative. These tech people, sports stars and entertainers have gotten so full of themselves the have no respect for “little people”.

    Let Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats introduce Article of Impeachment.
    Look at your calender he has only 8/`1/2 days until Senile Joe and
    this Administration come to power and then you are really have a
    financial problem on your hand and this one you cannot blame
    on Trump.

    You better go and do some financial homework with all that money
    borrowed and the money that Joe plans to spend and Janet Yellen
    getting rid of the Trump Tax Cuts as a revenge act. You and your
    fellow Democrats and RINOS. This money has to be paid back and
    if the economy keeps going down, all you will have is empty buildings
    and bankrupt blue states and you will be able to say what happened
    Joe, what do you mean the Chinese have called in the loans and
    demand CALIFORNIA be turned over to them immediately or we
    could be a real financial problem called a DEPRESSION and i will
    have to give my Ice Cream to the poor.

    If Biden could actually think If you are as popular as used toilet paper as is Biden what would you do if you were Biden. You do not want this election investigated by an unbiased investigator. The number of violations are apparent no way did Biden win the Presidential election legally. The truth will come out however the toothpaste is out of the tube. It is like a play in Football where a ruling on the field was erroneous and the offense knows it so they hurry up and run a play before the ruling can be challenged. The impeachment is a smoke screen that is all the media is reporting allegations keep coming out about the fraudulent election this is the perfect cover. The first Amendment is eroding the 2nd amendment will be eroding the 25 th amendment is coming soon maybe after the CCP Iran get what it wants then America welcome Harris yes the same wonderful woman that was sleeping with Willie Brown while Willie's wife looked on Nice. While Biden in office took unwanted liberties with a young daughter of parents that were defenseless against this mongrel. America will be good hands with the two of them just like Fang Fang and Swalwell its a wonderful world while the taxpayer pays pays pays. America we have become a fire hydrant and Biden and Harris are the dogs.

    Thank you for me to say as follows: on the BLM Website before Jan 6 encouraged them to go to the Capitol, Permit granted for 5000 attendees to protest. i took a picture of their poster before they removed it. Poster is proof who Rioted not Trump law abiding supporters. And who granted the Permit 5000 to go? I can email the poster picture. I have supported your faith effort for the election.

    I hope President Trump starts his own big Tech company that supersedes FB, TW, and GGL! May those three companies go belly up in a matter of weeks! If they cancel accounts of all conservatives, then they will have to argue among themselves. That could possibly cause them to kill each other! Hmm! All conservatives need to get rid of their iPhones, too, as well as all other i-devices! Start depleting the income from these companies. That will wake them up! iPhones are made in China, you know!

    This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same.
    I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.

    You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.

    We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

    Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

    People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

    Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.

    Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

    Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

    People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

    After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

    It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.

    People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

    Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

    Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.

    $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

    If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free...and pointing out this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!

    Nothing makes sense anymore. No values, no morals, no civility, and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.

    We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.

    Wake up America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast.

    Are we back to civil reigion?

    AMEN! Mike you say exactly every day what I am thinking. Thank you for being a God fearing, God honoring person with a platform where you can influence people, and for putting into words this mess we are in as an a nation because we have forgotten God. There are many of us who are praying every day for our nation, but that effort was completely undone by a few hot heads on Wednesday. It is sad.
