Judge Emmet Sullivan IS Captain Ahab
By Mike Huckabee
President Trump has announced a full pardon for Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, but Judge Emmet Sullivan, who presided over Flynn's case for many long months after he hired new representation and attempted to change his plea to "not guilty," doesn't seem to know or care. In the obsessive/compulsive style of Captain Ahab, who could never stop chasing the Great White, he still has not dismissed the case and might just continue his pursuit of Flynn.
After all, a pardon doesn't necessarily include acts that are committed AFTER the pardon is issued! I am not kidding.

Should the President concede the election to Joe Biden?
My newsletter readers, Facebook and Parler followers have voted. The results are:
57,826 votes for NO
779 votes for UNDECIDED

Herculean Task Department
By Mike Huckabee
The Battleswarm blog has a round-up of all the latest news stories about voter fraud. But is the Internet big enough to hold it all?
Georgia Debates
By Mike Huckabee
The two Georgia Senate runoffs have been dubbed “national elections” because the winners will determine whether the Republicans keep the Senate or there’s nobody to hit the brakes if the Democrats take over the steering wheel and veer hard left toward a steep cliff. So every American – and certainly every Georgian - should be interested in this past weekend’s debates. Tyler O’Neil of PJ Media did a good job of recapping the most important points.
Sen. Kelly Loeffler did a great job of highlighting the radicalism of her opponent, Raphael Warnock, while Sen. David Perdue refused to show up to debate Democratic rival Jon Ossoff. Ossoff called Perdue a “coward,” but Perdue’s campaign said there was no point in a debate since the runoff is an extension of a general election where 52% of Georgians already voted against Ossoff. Perdue had 85,000 more votes, and under most other states' laws, he would’ve already won.
Still, it’s usually not a good idea to decline to debate, although in this case, it did give Ossoff the floor to promote his agenda, such as blanket amnesty and a national virus lockdown, which might have hurt him more with viewers than Perdue could have. Perdue’s campaign manager told The Hill newspaper, “Tonight we witnessed something we didn’t know was possible: a candidate lost a debate against himself. An epic failure.”
More Bad News For Dead People
By Mike Huckabee
Texas Rep. Brian Babin has introduced a bill that would cut off some federal funding to counties that don’t check the Social Security Administration’s death records every year and remove dead people from their voter registration rolls. He calls it the “You Must Be Alive to Vote Act.”
I don’t expect it to garner much support from Democrats, since it would disenfranchise one of their most loyal constituencies.
"Tax the rich"
It’s often been said that one of the hallmarks of socialism is that only the very rich can afford it. In that spirit, for the socialist on your Christmas…sorry, “winter holiday” gift list, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s online merchandise store is offering a “Tax The Rich” sweatshirt for only $58.
You’ll be pleased to hear that it’s “union printed” and “gender neutral.” You might be less pleased to learn that if you can afford $58 for a sweatshirt, then you are in the income bracket that “Democratic” socialists classify as the “rich” who should be taxed more.
Déjà vu
By Mike Huckabee
Why is it that every time Joe Biden announces another pick for his (potential) Administration, I get a tingle of déjà vu, and think, “Why do I remember that name from the past and associate it with either rabid partisanship or outright incompetence?” Well, I guess you know why.
Latest example: Biden reportedly plans to tap California Attorney General (Kamala Harris’ successor) Xavier Becerra as his Health and Human Services Secretary.
Republicans immediately began voicing strong opposition, calling Becerra an unqualified pro-abortion radical who prioritizes partisan politics over the law and people’s civil rights. Oh right, that’s why his name should be familiar to longtime readers of my newsletter!
Many of Becerra’s more shameful moments in office have involved abuses of power to promote abortion advocates and persecute pro-life activists. His name is enshrined in the title of a losing SCOTUS case, NIFLA (National Institute for Life Advocates) v. Becerra, in which the Court struck down California’s law that attempted to regulate free speech as professional conduct and force pro-life pregnancy centers to refer women to abortion clinics. Conservative legal experts hailed the decision against him as having “saved the First Amendment.”
Becerra also took over from Harris in the shameful pressing of multiple felony charges against undercover reporters who exposed Planned Parenthood’s barbaric practices. Planned Parenthood being a major supporter of California Democrats, he’s made no secret of how deep in their back pocket he is.
Deep enough, in fact, that it even sparked a lawsuit against him, PP and Harris.
And abortion isn’t the only topic upon which Becerra is known to place partisan politics above the law or his sworn duties.
HHS is the department in charge of protecting all Americans’ health and providing essential services. Becerra has a demonstrated history of protecting the right of a political donor to continue slaughtering babies in the womb while prosecuting critics for exercising their essential First Amendment rights. Is that who you want in charge of America’s health? Especially when Planned Parenthood is already planning what it will demand of a Biden Administration as payback for its support.
You’d think that if the media were ever going to stop acting like tranquilized lapdogs toward Biden, it would be over the elevation to such a high level of a man who tried to railroad reporters into prison for doing the same kind of undercover video expose that every major media outlet has been doing for years. That's the kind of dictator-like behavior they falsely accuse Trump of. But so far, not a yap…
