Governor, you have so much to be proud of in Sarah. She is a truly gifted communicator with a unique ability to work (process and answer questions) under pressure. And clearly her mind and heart are in the right place. She speaks with authority because her values are rooted in something infinitely greater than self-preservation, personal gain, or partisan politics. She knows that her highest loyalty is owed to God. She has strength of character. I am sorry to see her step down as White House Press Secretary, but I know she is doing the right thing because she has her priorities in order. 

You likened the White House Press Corps to a room-full of angry, unruly toddlers who daily throw tantrums because their candidate lost. So true! Similarly, I would say each press conference is like one round of a boxing match. I feared the corps would brutalize Sarah. To the contrary, she handled the corps, as you described, with grace and dignity. In fact, her strength, cool head, and wit changed the dynamic of the match entirely. They couldn't land those trusty low-blows or "Left" hooks anymore. Sarah floats like a butterfly, stings like Huckabee. Her ability to focus on the issues and dodge the jabs (rumors, lies, and personal attacks) while landing truth-blow after truth-blow kept the press corps on the ropes. The decision is unanimous. Sarah Huckabee Sanders won the fight, never even lost a round.

Laura Ainsworth: a follow-up to skeptics on Michelle Obama theory

As I can tell from the outpouring of kind messages (much appreciated!), I’m sure you’ve already heard the news that my daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will be stepping down as White House Press Secretary at the end of June.  I know that many people are disappointed that she’s leaving, but remember: she’s not only held one of the highest-pressure jobs in Washington for two years while raising a family, but prior to that, she was the Deputy Press Secretary, worked on the Trump campaign, and helped run my 2016 campaign.  That’s a long time to spend on the political treadmill without a break. 

I agree with you that she’s been the best person ever to hold that job, and she’s held it under some of the most trying conditions in history.  I once thought that her lifetime of growing up and working in politics made her uniquely qualified for the job.  I didn’t realize that her experience as a mother of three in dealing with unruly toddlers would turn out to be her most valuable asset, as she daily had to face a White House Press Corps that had devolved from professional adult journalists into a pack of angry children throwing a never-ending tantrum because their preferred candidate lost.

A reminder for all the media members and Democratic Presidential hopefuls clutching their pearls and calling for impeachment over President Trump saying he might hypothetically look at negative info on an opponent offered by someone from a foreign country like Norway:

Not only did Hillary Clinton and the DNC actually spend millions of dollars on Russian oppo dirt on Trump in 2016, but in 2017, her campaign spokesman went on record defending it.  Here’s the money quote: “I probably would have volunteered to go to Europe myself to try and verify if it would have helped get more of this out there before the election.”

To be fair, that’s also hypothetical.  Clinton’s campaign operatives didn’t have to go to Europe to get foreign dirt on their opponent into the media quickly.  They had campaign operatives like James Comey to leak it to the media for them.

Attention, parents of teenage girls, particularly if you’re pro-life: If you let them read Teen Vogue magazine, you should know that publication is advising them that it’s okay to get abortions without even telling their parents because, hey, “accidents happen,” and “access to abortion should be your right, regardless of your parents’ beliefs.”  Besides, pro-life parents are probably hypocrites who would approve of abortions for their own daughters anyway.

If you think that’s just a one-time punk opinion piece from an advice columnist, a study found that in 2017, Teen Vogue had printed 63 pro-abortion articles by the end of February (you know: the SECOND month of the year.)  Amazingly, the magazine also finds room to cover other issues aside from promoting abortion, like pushing leftwing politics and instructing young readers on how to perform various kinky sex acts and how to “safely” send nude selfies to their romantic partners.

If you wouldn’t feed garbage into your children’s mouths, why would you let someone feed garbage into their brains?  What should be in vogue right now among responsible parents is canceling subscriptions to Teen Vogue.
