BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Georgia Election Official Pleads With Biden Administration To Stop False Claims
By Mike Huckabee
The COO and Chief Financial Officer in the Georgia Secretary of State’s office has written an op-ed in the Washington Post, pleading with President Biden to stop telling lies about Georgia’s election law. He warns that Biden’s false claims about the law, such as claiming that it reduces voting hours and criminalizes giving voters water or that it’s a return to Jim Crow laws, are the type of thing that inflame the passions of the misinformed and spark riots and death threats. He writes, “Someone is going to get hurt. Your words matter. The facts matter.”
I like his conclusion: “Let’s tell the truth. Let’s make elections boring again.”
Sadly, I think if Biden were concerned about his words and policies harming people, he would be paying a lot more attention to what he’s saying and doing about our Southern border, which has led to headlines like these:
Texas Border Patrol Agents Apprehend 3 Convicted Child Sex Offenders in 2 Days
Police Find Woman's Body in Trunk of Car, 4 Suspected MS-13 Gang Members Charged
AZ Cop Finds 17 Illegal Aliens in Car, Forced to Set Them Free When Border Patrol Refuses to Help
That last story caused Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to become so fed up, he issued a blistering statement about Biden’s border policies, accusing him of defying all logic and being asleep at the switch (I could believe that literally.) He declared that “the Biden/Harris administration needs to get its head out of the sand.”
I commend his admirable restraint in using the phrase “the sand.”

Example of Bias: In An Effort To Take Down Trump, Media Spread False Russian Bounty Story
By Mike Huckabee
During the 2020 campaign, the New York Times, quoting their famous unnamed sources, claimed that Russia was paying bounties on the lives of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Since President Trump had just announced plans to pull our troops out of Afghanistan, the media and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) used this as a weapon to accuse Trump of being afraid of or in cahoots with Vladimir Putin, with some demanding military retaliation. This unsourced story was reason enough to them to replace our President and start a war with Russia.
This week, we learned that an investigation found no reliable evidence to back up that story, and that it was most likely made up by a detainee to win release. But at least partly because of that fake news, we replaced our President with one who appears poised to blunder into a war with Russia, or at least a new Cold War.
You would think that after running wild with the “Russian collusion” fake news for over two years, they have been more skeptical, but that would have required them to care more about the truth than about harming Trump. But with Trump now out, what is the current excuse for the media and the Democrats not caring at all about the truth?
Biden press secretary Jen Psaki was asked if Biden regretted attacking Trump on such a flimsy allegation. No, of course not, and she even implied that the discredited allegation might still be true.
Glenn Greenwald, who with Matt Taibbi is one of the dying breed of honest liberal journalists, has a deep dive into this story, reminding us of who flogged it endlessly and called reporters like Greenwald “conspiracy theorists” for questioning it, even though there were obvious hints from the start that it wasn’t reliable.
As Greenwald points out, these people never get tired of acting as conduits for unsourced shaky accusations. Even as they were being forced to admit they’d been had by an “intelligence source” on one fake Russia story, they were trumpeting a new one: a claim by the Biden Treasury Department that Russian-Ukrainian political consultant Konstantin Kilimnik “provided the Russia intelligence services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy” that he received from then-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. As Greenwald points out, once again, “This is nothing more than a U.S. Government assertion that lacks any evidence.”
I hope you’ll read the entire thing, and to encourage you, let me just quote from Greenwald’s summation:
“Any journalist who treats unverified stories from the CIA or other government agencies as true, without needing any evidence or applying any skepticism, is worthless. Actually, they are worse than worthless: they are toxic influences who deserve pure contempt…
These are not journalists. They are obsequious spokespeople for the CIA and other official authorities. Even when they learn that they deceived millions of people by uncritically repeating a story that the CIA told them was true, they will — on the very same day that they learn they did this — do exactly the same thing…These are agents of disinformation: state media. And when they speak, you should listen to them with the knowledge of what they really are, and treat them accordingly.”
I’ll bet you want to read the entire thing now, don’t you?
New Exhibit Upends Alamo "White Supremacy" Lie
By Mike Huckabee
This is a must-read article for students of history – real history, not the anti-American woke propaganda that passes for history these days.
It’s about a new exhibit in Texas honoring one of the heroes of the Alamo. In fact, he may have been the last man standing in the battle against overwhelming Mexican forces. His name was Jose Toribio Losoya. He was one of the Tejano defenders of the Alamo, and his story and that of fellow Tejano Texas Revolutionaries upends the slanderous “fighting-words-in-Texas” claim that the Alamo and the fight against Santa Anna were about “white supremacy.”

Bill Maher Takes Blue States To The Woodshed Over COVID Response
By Mike Huckabee
How badly have blue state leaders and the media botched their response to COVID-19? So badly that even Bill Maher took them to the woodshed over it.
You know the Democrats have done a spectacularly rotten job when Bill Maher is praising Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and blasting New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But as he put it to his shocked liberal viewers, "Those are just facts. I know it's irresponsible of me to say them."

The Babylon Bee Gets The News Right
By Mike Huckabee
It’s the weekend, and after a week as nerve-wracking as this one, why not relax by catching up with the Babylon Bee’s hilarious take on recent news?
Here are just a few of my favorite headlines:
“Losing Baseball Team Suggests New Rules Allowing Them to Add Four Players to the Field”
“Minneapolis Target Holds Semi-Annual ‘Everything Is Free’ Sale”
“‘We’re Not Tearing Up The Constitution, We’re Untearing It,’ Say Dems While Ripping The Constitution Apart”
“’It’s Still Not Safe to Go Outside,’ Says Fauci’s Head In A Jar in Year 2739”
“BLM Founder Calls for Abolishing Police in All the Areas Where She Doesn’t Live”
“Man Can’t Wait To Get Vaccine So He Can Go Back To Isolating While Wearing A Mask But Now Doing So While Vaccinated”
…Those are just a few favorites. But to save the Facebook and Twitter “fact-checkers” the trouble, I must point out that these are satire. They are NOT actual news stories! Are we all clear on that?
However, they are much more accurate than most actual news stories these days.
Also, check out my favorite comic strip of the past week: “Pearls Before Swine” presents “Imagine There’s No Twitter…”
