Tulsi Gabbard
By Mike Huckabee
I don’t know whether Rep. Tulsi Gabbard represents the last of a dying breed of rational Democrats or the first flowering of a new backlash against the far-left radicalism that’s taken over the Party in recent years, but I hope it’s the latter.
In recent weeks, Rep. Gabbard has backed bills to protect girls’ sports from males claiming they’re female, to bar abortions of babies that have developed to the point of being able to feel pain and to require doctors to give a base level of care to babies born alive during abortion procedures. Not long ago, all three of those measures would have struck the average American as unnecessary because how could anyone in their right mind think that a boy who claims to feel like a girl really was a girl, that doctors shouldn’t give life-saving care to any newborn baby, or that babies in late stages of development should be allowed to be butchered in the womb?
Unfortunately, we've not talking about people in their right minds, we're talking about people with left minds. Today, the Democratic Party has become so radical in its embrace of transgenderism and abortion that Rep. Gabbard is being vilified by the left for tiptoeing even one inch outside their approved circle of insanity.
Rep. Gabbard was a guest on my TBN show when she was running for President and being treated very badly by her own Party (that claims to stand up for women, but only certain women with certain beliefs.) We disagree on most issues, but we had a friendly conversation about things on which we found common ground. I’m sure she was vilified by the left just for talking to me, too.
It’s long been said that a conservative is a liberal who got mugged. I’m hoping and praying that Rep. Gabbard, if she stays in the Democratic Party at all, represents the start of a coming awakening and revolt by Democrats with common sense who are tired of having their grasp of reality mugged by radical left insanity.
Cool news
By Mike Huckabee
Friday was the first anniversary of the creation of the new US Space Force, and Vice President Mike Pence marked it by announcing that Space Force members will be known as “Guardians.” No, not “…of the Galaxy.” But I’ll bet you were all thinking it.
Congressional Rule I Bet You Didn’t Know
By Mike Huckabee
It would take only two Senators challenging the voting in suspect swing states to trigger a debate and vote on rejecting the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden. Here’s a story about more than two Senators who might be considering it.
Peak 2020 Democrat Behavior Roundup
By Mike Huckabee
The Democrat Mayor of New Orleans banned a popular Christian singer from appearing on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Eve special, ostensibly because she appeared at another show not wearing a facemask. What makes this peak Democrat behavior is the assumption of power the Mayor doesn’t have. Also, the eagerness to assert power and virtue-signal that overrides all else, including bothering to find out that this singer was never booked on that show in the first place.
In New York, where small businesses are going under everywhere thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s endless, science-free shutdowns, Cuomo decided now would be the perfect time to sign a bill forcing them to pay a higher minimum wage. Proponents claim that “anecdotal” evidence suggests it won’t further drive businesses into bankruptcy. New York doesn’t need an anecdote, it needs an antidote to its liberal government.
And back in Los Angeles, where new District Attorney George Gaston is instituting “justice reform” by opening up the jails and refusing to prosecute criminals, he was caught on video telling the mother of a murder victim who objects to him releasing murderers back onto the streets that she’s “uneducated” about the issue.
I hope this educates people about what happens when you elect Democrats to run anything. And while I know the truth hurts, I have to remind the people of New Orleans, New York and California (and Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Detroit, Baltimore, etc. etc. etc.): this misery only exists because you keep voting for it.
