News Alert
By Mike Huckabee
By her own definition of refusing to accept legally-certified election results, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is considering committing treason and insurrection.
But then, it would hardly be the first time Pelosi attempted to abuse her powers to overthrow a duly-elected political office holder in a potential coup attempt.
If we really want to protect our democratically-elected government from a serious insurrection threat, maybe we should put razor wire fencing and a few thousand troops between Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol.
ICYMI: New Blog

Not everything my team and I write makes my newsletter, or for that matter my website. The new blog on my website, is a place to find everything you might have missed and then some. It is updated throughout the day and will be a new way for me to share information with you.
We started blogging on Tuesday and will keep it going if people take an interest.

Joe Biden and school closures
By Mike Huckabee
The $1.9 trillion “COVID-19 relief” bill just signed by President Biden showers money on public schools, but he’s still not ordering teachers’ unions to go back to work. This, despite multiple vaccines and scientific studies showing that schools are an extremely low risk for spreading the coronavirus. Now, there’s even more evidence of the necessity for union teachers to do what grocery clerks have done all along and start acting like essential workers.
A new report examined 130 studies of the effects of school closures and online-only classes on students, and the results are grim. Kids’ learning has been set back so much that achievement gaps may persist until they finish high school, harming their longterm prospects in life and reducing their likely future earnings. The damage has been particularly bad for poor children, minorities and at-risk students whose parents don’t have access to options like tutors or private school. Of course, this is just the academic damage; it doesn’t even get into the psychological, emotional and physical problems caused by forcing kids to stay isolated in the house for a year.
The report concludes that “closing schools should be a last resort and done only after all other community mitigation measures have been deployed. In such cases, there should be extreme urgency to reopen schools as quickly and safely as possible.”
If the politicians who are boasting about the effectiveness of the vaccines and exhorting us to wear masks because they prevent the transmission of the virus really believe what they’re saying, why aren’t they ordering teachers’ unions to give their members shots and masks and tell them to get back to work?
"Run, Herschel, Run"
By Mike Huckabee
Former President Trump has been urging his friend, NFL legend Herschel Walker, to "run, Herschel, run" for Senate in his home state of Georgia. The state’s far-left incumbent, Raphael Warnock, just won the runoff election, but it was to fill the unexpired term of Johnny Isakson; so Warnock has to run again in 2022 for a full six-year term. A new Trafalgar Group poll shows him beating several Republicans, but losing to Walker, who has an 81.3% approval rating.
Incidentally, the same poll found that 70% of Georgians said they would vote for Trump in 2024, and 55.5% disapprove of the job Biden is doing. Makes you wonder how Biden could have won Georgia, but you’d better not wonder that out loud.
$27 Million
By Mike Huckabee
The city of Minneapolis agreed to pay a record $27 million wrongful death settlement to the family of George Floyd.
As the article at the link points out, paying such a settlement before jury selection has even been completed in the murder trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin makes it appear even less likely that an impartial verdict can be reached in Minneapolis. That was already in doubt, with the city bracing for riots and jurors fearing death threats if they voted to acquit, no matter what the evidence might show. If ever a case screamed “Change of venue,” this is it, but will the same politicization that makes a change of venue imperative for justice also make it impossible to get officials to agree to it?
Shocking NYT Move
By Mike Huckabee
As I pointed out yesterday, President Biden’s first primetime address was filled with blatant lies that anyone with a memory longer than a fruit fly would have immediately noticed. At least, I called them blatant lies, for that is what they were. The New York Times would have called them outrageous lies if Trump had said them, but with Biden, the Times just called them “exaggerated” or “misleading” statements.
Still, give the Times credit: I’m astounded that they actually fact-checked Biden. And it must’ve killed them to give Trump any credit for developing the vaccine that Biden is taking bows for. I don’t want to quash this miraculous development by criticizing how gingerly they did it. As Abraham Lincoln reportedly said, when you see a dog walking on two legs, you don’t criticize its posture, you just marvel that the thing was accomplished at all.
