A tough week for America

By Mike Huckabee

This has been a tough week for America. It’s been an embarrassing and disgusting week for those of us who believe that the recent Presidential election was tainted with unanswered questions about fraud and massive voting irregularities. Whatever hopes we had that there might be a sincere investigation into the evidence that the media claimed didn’t exist was wiped out by a hot-headed mob at our nation’s Capitol. To be clear, of the tens of thousands of protesters and demonstrators who descended on Washington, most really were peaceful, law abiding patriots who love God, their families and their country. But those who stormed our Nation’s Capitol, ignored and fought the police, broke windows and doors and vandalized the offices of members of Congress and the Capitol itself were not patriots. They were a mob. A violent, lawless, and reckless mob engaged in criminal acts. Some of those participating in this mayhem or who tried to defend it tried to compare the actions of the mob to those of our Founders in the American Revolution. The violence at the Capitol this week was not at all like the American Revolution.

The Revolution of 1776 was carefully thought out. It was meticulously planned, and carried out by people who had exhausted all avenues to peacefully secure their liberty and to rid themselves of the intolerable behavior of their mother country, England. They declared their independence in a carefully crafted document and pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. They did not act spontaneously or compulsively. Their actions were thoroughly contemplated and the consequences were fully understood. What happened this week was carried out by hot-headed people moved by raw rage. There was no rational consideration of the consequences. There are no excuses or explanations for endangering innocent people, destroying public property, and challenging the authority of law enforcement. Even if 95% of that crowd were God-fearing law-abiding citizens who are rightfully angry that their beloved Republic is being taken over by Marxists and the useful idiots in the media who follow along, there is still no justification for the mayhem. Some of the rioters even quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but Dr. King NEVER got so fed up with the horrible and unjust treatment by the government and said, “That’s it—let’s storm the Capitol and break windows and occupy the chamber.”

The American Revolution indeed became violent and resulted in a war but they were not a mob, who in a blind rage launched something they had no plan to fulfill. They articulated their grievances, requested relief, and only after all possible remedies were rebuffed did they declare independence.

WE must be the voice of reason and rationality. The mob set back the conservative patriotic cause of limited government and a government that provides justice equally. This angry mob of played right into the hands of the press and the left.

I support the many policies President Trump implemented to put America First. I’m glad he stood up to China and Russia, brought manufacturing jobs back to America, cut taxes because he believed that you could spend the money you worked for better than the government, fought to protect the lives of unborn children, protected religious liberty, stood with Israel against those who sought to annihilate her, and who appointed Constitutionalists to the courts. I don’t blame him because some who supported him devolved into criminal activity and tried to take over our nation’s Capitol. But to be fair and honest, his language about the election being stolen probably cost us 2 Senate seats in Georgia and gave some people the false sense that it was justifiable to storm past police barricades and take over the Capitol. Joe Biden will be the next President. It’s not who I voted for but I won’t burn down the country because he’s President. I will speak out for my views and I will faithfully vote in every election. But as disgusted as I was when Black Lives Matter and Antifa followers were burning our cities, looting stores and attacking police officers, I’m equally disgusted when people who may share many of my views do the same thing. I don’t care what their politics are, they are lawless thugs and need to be found, charged and prosecuted. I can’t teach my children and grandchildren to obey the rules of my house if I can’t be trusted to obey the laws of my nation!

Washington is stained Nancy

By Mike Huckabee

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are calling on Vice President Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and immediately remove President Trump from office, blaming him for inciting the violent protesters who vandalized and broke into the Capitol. Pelosi said, “The gleeful desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple of our American democracy, and the violence targeting Congress are horrors that will forever stain our nation’s history — instigated by the president of the United States — that’s why this is such a stain.”

She’s right, Washington is as stained as an old pair of farm overalls, but those mud stains didn’t all appear yesterday. Just as a reminder:

Throughout spring and summer of 2020, up until polls showed it was hurting Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer were publicly supportive of violent “protesters” who rioted, burned and looted America’s cities nationwide, including Washington, DC. They not only attacked and vandalized national monuments and federal buildings in the nation’s capital, they staged longterm assaults on local and federal officers, seized private property, threatened citizens, and laid siege to a federal courthouse in Portland, throwing Molotov cocktail-like fire bombs into it. That courthouse is just as much federal property and a temple of American democracy as the Capitol is.

Pelosi’s response to all that was to support the violent protesters, dismiss concerns about old buildings, and smear officers who were trying to protect federal property as Nazi “stormtroopers.” When called on it, she tried to split hairs by claiming she only said they were “acting like stormtroopers.” Well, that’s different!

I am upset with Trump’s rhetoric, too, and I’ve condemned the violent hotheads who set back the conservative cause with their illegal behavior. But I have zero interest in listening to Pelosi, Schumer or any other Democrat who spent much of 2020 egging on rioters and attacking police piously lecture me about the dangers of irresponsible rhetoric from public officials. Their “moral high ground” is a muddy sinkhole.

DC Statehood push 

By Mike Huckabee

The Mayor of Washington, DC, has been doing such a crackerjack job that she thinks she deserves to be promoted to Governor. She’s calling on the new Congress to send legislation to President Biden’s desk in the first 100 days to make the District of Columbia the 51st state (with, of course, two more permanent Democrat Senators and at least one more far-left voting Representative.)

That article explains why this would be blatantly unconstitutional, although I doubt that would prevent it from happening, considering the makeup of the incoming Congress and White House. It would require a massive and expensive court fight to block it. I fear this is just a preview of what the next two years are going to be like.

Sharp observation

By Mike Huckabee

Mark Steyn, speaking on Wednesday’s TUCKER CARLSON show, had a sharp observation: “It’s always interesting to me that people are surprised when a tactic that’s proved effective for one group of people is then suddenly taken up by other people of whom they don’t approve.”

"There’s been a complete collapse of equality before the law,” Steyn explained. “The more [people on the left] are not subject to any laws, the more onerous the burden that falls upon the law-abiding.” Those on the left can do anything, he said, while those law-abiding souls on the right are “micro-regulated.” (To quote Victor Davis Hanson, “Ideology trumps accountability.”)

"At some point, that has to give,” he said. “And whoever is behind this, to a certain degree, that ‘gave’ today in Washington.”

If that’s what we’re seeing, we conservatives will have to be careful not to become the thing we hate, as so often happens to people. (It’s certainly happened to the left, who used to be pro-free speech.) It may sound cliché to say it at this point, but we really are better than that.

Focus Group-Tested Word Alert

By Mike Huckabee

I’ve noticed that anyone who points out that the same Democrats who supported violent leftist protesters who attacked federal buildings are now condemning violent rightwing protesters who attack federal buildings is being accused of “whataboutism.” For those unfamiliar with this word, it’s a made-up term that means “Stop pointing out my hypocrisy.”

    President Trump speaches didn't cost two Senators from Georgia, it was Dominion, votes were taken away right on live TV. It wouldn't have mattered if every voter turned out. Have they gotten to you Governor, your demenior on TV last night was different. At first I thought it was smug but the more I thought about if seemed as if the threats had gotten to you. Yes, the attack on the Capitol was horrible but we both know it was part of the lefts plan. All of the other riots through the summer the Capitol was protected by so many more police and then they just let them in. For All President Trump has done How can you blame him is not God still in control?

    I agree with every word. Socialism is sure to come and I fear churches will be threatened for “inciting violence” as they teach about end times. It’s scary and yet exciting to see prophecy unfold. The church needs to wake up! Come Lord Jesus!

    Sir:
    I don’t think his words, President Trump’s, incited a riot. Instead the left planted antifa thugs in their midst. I do not condemn my President.

    Much of the information I am seeing is BLM/Antifa were more involved in the violence and ‘storming’ of the capitol. It was all a false flag operation to make trump and his supporters take the fall. Considering the protesters were basically escorted into and around the capitol, no real storming occurred. The window smashing and property damage was done mostly by Antifa.

    I also do not approve of violence and the destruction of property. I don't know a lot about the law or politics, but I believe that if the Republicians in DC has taken a firmer stand and helped President Trump get the battleground states to do a audit on the Dominion voting machines, I think there would have been a totally different outcome Wednesday. As I have heard you say, if Dominion and these battleground states had nothing to hide, they would have been glad for a forensic expert to audit these machines. Then if no fraud was found, President Trump is the one who would look foolish. Is it too late to make that happen? I read most of President Trumps speech, and I did not see where he said one thing to incite violence. Everyday news comes out of DC and although some sources have not been able to confirm, two videos have been shown. One man says he is with Antifa, another says he was paid to riot. There is no excuse for what happened but I will never believe President Trump was to blame. I also believe it is never too late to do what is right. If anyone in DC is guilty of inciting violence it is Pelosi. She also is guilty of endangering the lives of other senators by allowing several senators who had been diagnosed of Covid to vote for her in person. As I read my Bible this morning, I came across Roman's 13:1-7. This teaches us that rulers are ordained of God. One commentary in my Bible said that "even the Roman emperors, cruel and wicked as many of them were, were so ordained to fulfil God's purpose in the world program". Sometimes it is very difficult to be obedient to our leaders , almost impossible for me. We are also supposed to "render" our political leaders their dues. Another reading is Psalm 37:1-11. These verses give me hope for our country.

    I live 20 min. Outside of Portland, OR. My daddy was a Portland cop for 28+ yes. He is turning over in his grave! This would never have happened when he was in the PPO. We had mayors that took their job seriously to keep the public safe! Not such liberals that run Portland now! What happened to our country? They don’t respect authority anymore! WHY? Why has God let us get to this point? We need to get back to be a God fearing country! My prayer ?? is for us to get back to that but how! This seems like such an uphill battle but I know with Gods help we can do it! WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Thank you for the great work you do Gov. Hucksbee!????

    GOP members that cave in are my great disappointment at this time. Are you one of them? There is ample evidence of left set up in the Capitol display. I for one will stand and intercede and wait for the Red Sea to open even if the Egyptians are at my back.

    I agree with what I say mostly but I do think that some of the people entering were Antifa. I am not sure what to believe since the media is so skewed.

    How much damage, vandalism and theft occurred? Was anything torched/set on fire? How do you know this wasn't staged or planned? You just jump on the bandwagon with everyone else and attack Trump rhetoric! Yup, like a good Republican, he is supposed to accept the results of a fraud-filled election. We don't want him too before it is thoroughly investigated and he shouldn't have too! Trump didn't create what happened at the Capitol, the Dems and RINOs and our Supreme Court did. Trump and his followers are just supposed to move along - nothing to see here! If you haven't noticed, everything is Trump's fault including him making the mistake to date run for President and win. Instead of letting voters decide whether Trump stays or goes, all your Washington swamp friends decided early on that they must get rid of him. Over 4 years of it and we're supposed to remain calm as our country is being "stolen" from us. We want answers and we are never got to get them if Biden is allowed to take the oath. You need to look at who really is to blame and it is not President Trump!
