DAILY BIBLE VERSE

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 119:105


Recall Gavin

By Mike Huckabee

A new Emerson College/Nexstar poll shows that Californians are warming to the idea of recalling and replacing Gov. Gavin Newsom.

https://emersonpolling.reportablenews.com/pr/newsom-clings-to-lead-in-recall-while-crime-becomes-a-top-issue-for-ca-voters

Only 48% of likely voters now say they’d vote to keep Newsom with 46% wanting to fire him, his narrowest lead yet, and 6% undecided. Among Republican replacements, Larry Elder is by far the most popular, but 40% are still undecided.

Among the noteworthy details: Newsom is only in positive territory in two places (L.A. and the San Francisco Bay area) which you could argue have deteriorated the worst under his “leadership.” Over 54% of Independents want to deep-six Newsom, as do 22% of Democrats, while 16% of Republicans want to keep him, which I can only attribute to sunstroke or smoke inhalation. Oddest of all, voters who self-identify as “non-binary” gender prefer Larry Elder to Caitlyn Jenner. So maybe some people think not every election should be determined by gender politics. And in California! Imagine that!

Facebook: It Was An Honest Mistake

By Mike Huckabee

Facebook insists that it was an honest mistake for them to take down ads for a raffle of a Harley Davidson motorcycle by a pro-police nonprofit raising money to help poor children and the families of officers killed in the line of duty. The ads were flagged for possibly being “political” or “about sensitive social issues that could influence public opinion, how people vote and may impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation."

In fact, they weren’t at all (although even if they were, why should you not be allowed to run such ads? I digress.)

The ads are supposedly back up, but I wanted to run this story (A.) to emphasize how important it is to watch Facebook like a hawk, and (B.) because I thought you might want to buy a chance at winning a Harley for a good cause.

Obama Scales Back

By Mike Huckabee

UPDATE: Facing criticism for their plans to host nearly 500 A-listers such as Oprah and George Clooney at a lavish party for Barack Obama’s 60th birthday during the COVID resurgence, the Obamas announced that the event has been drastically scaled back and will now include only family members and close friends. So that’s what, about 400 A-listers?

Gwen Berry Misses The Podium

By Mike Huckabee

I can promise that if you turn on the Tokyo Olympics, you won’t have to see hammer-thrower Gwen Berry scowl at the anthem, pull some political demonstration, or turn her back and put a T-shirt over her head to keep from seeing the American flag as she accepts a medal. That’s because she came in 11th out of 12 competitors.

https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/08/03/more-go-woke-go-broke-olympic-hammer-thrower-gwen-berry-goes-down-to-humiliating-defeat-n420720

I don’t know whether this is because these SJW athletes are putting more effort into signaling their leftist political views than practicing their sport, or God just doesn’t like ingrates. But either way, the rule of “Get woke, go broke” seems to be holding up even in the world of amateur sporting events.

Olympians Who Get It

By Mike Huckabee

Those who’ve been turned off of the Tokyo Olympics by the handful of athletes who are using it as a platform for leftist, anti-American political statements might have their interest rekindled and their faith renewed by this story about Tamyra Mensah-Stock.

https://www.westernjournal.com/patriotic-wrestler-elated-historic-gold-medal-freaking-love-living-america/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=huckabee

She just won the women’s 68 kg freestyle wrestling finals, becoming only the second US female ever to win the gold in wrestling and the first African-American woman. The daughter of an immigrant from Ghana, she admits she was scared and nervous, but she didn’t give up. And after winning the gold, she didn’t put on a sour face and turn her back to the flag. Instead, she cried tears of joy, embraced the flag, gave credit to God and said, “I love representing the U.S. I freaking love living there. I love it, and I’m so happy I get to represent USA!”

Another US Olympian who won the gold, set a new world record and gave the glory to God and her gratitude to America was sprinter Sydney McLaughlin.

I hope those bits of good news make you click through to read the full stories. They might even make you want to tune in to the Olympics again. Some events, at least.


Excellent Column

By Mike Huckabee

Roger Simon has an excellent column at the Epoch Times. Unfortunately, it’s a premium article, but if you’re not a subscriber, I can give you the gist in one sentence: If you want to save America from a bleak, socialist, racially-divided future, don’t dream of running for Congress or the White House; run for your local school board.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/to-save-america-run-for-school-board_3933758.html

This is where the left has put all its chips: on taking over education and misleading younger generations into hating their own nation and culture, and trading their rights and freedoms for false promises of state-supplied security. They’re like termites destroying our foundation, and if you want to halt the damage and repair it before it’s too late, then get these poisonous ideas out of our schools by running for your local school board. Stop thinking of those elections as the unimportant little races nobody cares about and start viewing them as the front line in saving America for our children and our children’s children.

(My writer Pat Reeder adds an amen to that. He says his late dad was elected to his school board, and that’s when much-needed changes that had been blocked for years finally started happening. And yes, that included some much-needed firings.)

    You wrote that Obama perhaps reduced his birthday guest list to 400 a-listers (which I agree is probably more likely than what he would want you to believe than what it will actually be). I do take exception to the term a-listers. I am most certainly not, and far from a privileged white person. But I prefer the correct way to categorize these rich, snobby people as ones who burp and fart the same as I......LOL! Have a great day!

    Only one comment. African American is a meaningless word created by people who rejected simply being an American I have native and European ancestors
    I knew a man from Kenya who rejected that wording. One of the List Boys. Stated "I am a Kenyan from Africa" so that makes me an "American from Europe and America!" How silly can that talk be?

    Governor Huckabee.
    I finally figured out why Biden wants all the illegals here, he wants to infect Americans
    with more Covid and Delta so we can be locked down again, kill the economy again, stop our schools again, and cow down to his communists ways...........it's plain, now they want us to have "papers" or phone apps! NO NO NO, this is still America..........it has to stop! And it has to stop at the border!

    Yep, and if you remember Tip O'Niel said,"all politics are local". This is what he meant, because if you control the education system for 2 generations you can force communism to take over. Reference "Yuri Bezmenov" interview with G. Edward Griffin.
    We need to reverse this mess.

    yes! Education has been the key for 100 years and we are just waking up? Then you have to understand why so many Attorney Generals are Socialist? The answer is SOROS FUNDED! Then you have to ask how could so much of America believe Biden is in CONROL? Because the Media told me so! How many people even have a hint at how close America is to LOSING our Republic? The ones still watching CNN, MSLSD, ABC, CBS, NBC, and NPR for starters. How can the media all be so left-leaning? They all drink from the same cup and matriculated from the ELITE journalist schools. The rest are just beyond redemption indoctrinated morons. I know it's not polite to call people morons but at least I didn't use Caps!

    Facebook does not make honest mistakes. Their mistakes are intentional. I would sooner trust a used car salesman than Facebook.
