This might be a busy holiday weekend, but I hope you and your family can spare an hour for a brand new, Easter edition of “Huckabee” on TBN. Country superstar Josh Turner will perform a classic gospel song that will lift your soul. Best-selling author and former investigative journalist Lee Strobel of “The Case For Christ” fame will tell us about his latest book, “The Case for Easter.” I’ll welcome Ashley Bratcher, star of “Unplanned,” the new hit movie that’s changing (and saving) lives. On the 20th anniversary of the Columbine school shooting, survivor Chris Scott will talk about a new documentary on how he and other survivors found healing, hope, faith and forgiveness. From the political front, we’ll have part two of my interview with Bill O’Reilly, plus catch up with the latest developments in DC with Rep. Devin Nunes. And toss in a few Easter eggs, like my news commentary and some crazy news “In Case You Missed It.”
It’s all coming your way tonight at 8 and 11 EST, 7 and 10 CST, and repeated at the same times on Easter Sunday, only on TBN. To find your local TBN channel and stream previous episodes online, visit https://www.tbn.org/programs/huckabee

Today’s Must-Read Column: It’s fashionable these days to try to blame all the bad things in history on the Christian religion, or to exalt other cultures and religions over it as equal or superior. In this article, Jack Kerwick, author of “Christianity and the World,” provides a much-needed history lesson on what life was like before Jesus Christ, and how He and those following his teachings have made more changes for good than any other force in human history. This first installment concentrates on how much better Christianity has made life for women and children.

Excellent article by Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept, summing up the key findings of the Mueller report and all the media “bombshells” it debunks, and making the irrefutable point that Trump’s rabid opponents in politics and the media spent two years promoting a “fictitious espionage thriller” filled with “unhinged” claims, none of which proved to be true. Greenwald contends that Mueller didn’t merely reject the conspiracy theories, “he obliterated them.”
The Trump haters got the prosecutor they demanded, and went ballistic over rumors that Trump might fire him (he didn’t; he also didn’t “obstruct” his investigation in any way.) As Greenwald notes, “He assembled a team of prosecutors and investigators that countless media accounts heralded as the most aggressive and adept in the nation. They had subpoena power, the vast surveillance apparatus of the U.S. government at their disposal, a demonstrated willingness to imprison anyone who lied to them, and unlimited time and resources to dig up everything they could.”
Result: No proof that Trump or anyone in his campaign (no matter how low-level) or even any American citizen colluded with Russia to influence the election.
You’d think with Trump having been the most thoroughly investigated President in history, and having come through that unconscionably partisan investigation unscathed, we’d all be relieved to learn he’s clean as a hound’s tooth and let him get back to work. But no, Democrats are now denouncing the investigator they hailed until recently as a savior and denouncing the very report they had previously touted as if it were the Holy Grail. They insist that it must be wrong because the only alternative is to admit that they were. To quote Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men,” they can’t handle the truth.
And so, their ranting goes on, but I believe that most Americans are fed up with this never-ending tantrum and are ready to tune them out - and if they don’t shut up and get back to work, kick them out.
The Democrats who continue to push the “Obstruction! Impeachment!” hysteria should take note that when the snarky jokes and memes start targeting them, it’s a sign that the jig is up.

From the very start, the whole “Russian collusion” story was just a feeble excuse to explain Hillary Clinton’s loss without admitting voters simply rejected her for darn good reason. But it also gave cover to NeverTrumper Republicans, who didn’t want to admit that their revulsion over Trump was really a class issue. It had little to do with his policies, which were mostly mainstream conservative, but with his style. He was a billionaire, but one who didn’t make his money on Wall Street but by building things. He talked more like a construction worker than a banker. He was more at home surrounded by factory workers or farmhands than at a big money fundraiser in Beverly Hills or Martha’s Vineyard. He simply “wasn’t one of us.”
(This elitist disdain for “flyover country” and blue collar Americans existed well before Trump: I wrote about it in my book, “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy” before Trump even ran for President.)
Now, with the Mueller report having torn away the mask, some of the elites are finally looking down their snoots and admitting that, guilty of anything or not, he’s just “not the kind of man” who should be in the White House.
Prof. Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has a great history lesson to remind us of “the kind of man” they think was just fine in the White House.

It’s said that the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. So I guess we should congratulate Buzzfeed for being the first media outlet to finally, at long last and way past the point after it had been officially debunked, kinda sorta admit that maybe one of their false claims about President Trump wasn’t exactly true.

Hey, it’s better than CNN, MSNBC, all the late night shows and every Democrat in Congress have managed. They’ve been stuck in stage one (“Denial”) since Election night of 2016.

It’s nice to hear that despite the juvenile, partisan piffle coming out of the cable news channels and Congressional PR carnivals, someone in Washington is actually trying to take care of the people’s business and keep the nation and the world safe.

Democratic Presidential wannabe and California Rep. Eric Swalwell has made it obvious that his forceful opinions cannot be influenced either by the Bill of Rights (he wants to confiscate guns and “nuke” anyone who refuses to comply) nor by irrefutable evidence (he still insists there’s evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.) So it’s hard to imagine anyone willing to take on the frustrating job of debating him, which would be like arguing with a cinderblock. But NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch gladly accepted his challenge to debate gun control and the Second Amendment. His response: no.
Swalwell claims that while he really, sincerely wants to debate NRA President Oliver North, he will not “aim down” and lower his magnificent self to debate a “mouthpiece” like Dana Loesch (as for “aiming down,” one Twitter commenter noted that more people probably know who Dana Loesch is than know Eric Swalwell.) Is his dismissive refusal to debate her born of arrogance, cowardice, sexism? Or could it be that Swalwell knows the NRA presidency is largely a ceremonial position, and the person who really knows all about guns, gun laws and their effects is the group’s official spokesperson…Dana Loesch?
Swalwell continues to insist that the NRA is “afraid” to debate him while Ms Loesch keeps openly taunting him to debate her. So which one is really afraid? I doubt that the woman who packs a gun and knows how to use it is afraid of any blustery male on Earth – which is one of the best arguments for preserving the Second Amendment.
But click here to read their tweets and decide for yourself which one would actually win a debate. Personally, I think this would be the most lopsided fight since “Bambi vs. Godzilla.”
