BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
Job 12:9 KJV
Humiliating
By Mike Huckabee
Well, this is humiliating. American movie tough guy John Cena, obviously forced by the studio to issue a groveling apology (in Mandarin, no less!) to the communist Chinese government for saying in an interview that Taiwan is an independent nation (it is, by the way):

This proves in shocking terms just how desperate Hollywood is for money from China, which also explains why they’ve turned their backs on American audiences and are making so many awful movies composed of equal parts dumb CGI explosions and leftist politics. That’s not just my opinion as a conservative. Here’s a video with the founder of Film Threat magazine, explaining why 97% of big studio movies these days are garbage, and one of his main reasons is that Hollywood is so dependent on the Chinese market.
After this cringeworthy John Cena capitulation/apology, they might as well tear down the HOLLYWOOD sign and replace it with one that reads “BEIJING EAST.”
Meet a Huck's Heroine
By Mike Huckabee
97-year-old Lily Ebert, originally from Hungary and now living in London. A survivor of the Holocaust who was liberated from Auschwitz, she also survived a battle with COVID-19 in January. That didn’t deter her from her mission: running a TikTok account that answers questions about the Holocaust and educates younger people who are ignorant of what that horrific chapter of history was all about.

And apparently, there are a lot of young ignoramuses out there because her TikTok account was recently flooded with hateful, threatening, anti-Semitic comments and idiotic comparisons of Israel’s defense of itself against Hamas terrorists with Hitler’s treatment of the Jews.
TikTok replied, “We have reviewed the comments received by this user, and removed any that violated our guidelines.” To which I reply, “That’s it? You removed the COMMENTS? How about removing the vile anti-Semites who made the comments?” Conservatives get banned from social media for saying things as innocuous as “Only women can give birth,” but people who praise Hitler and threaten a 97-year-old Holocaust survivor can keep attacking away, even as violent assaults are being launched on Jews all over America.
Even so, Mrs. Ebert has certainly faced bigger threats than these disgusting trolls, and she refuses to be intimidated. In thanking followers for their support, her great-grandson tweeted, “Hate breeds hate and we will not let this vile anti-Semitic abuse stop us in our mission of educating the younger generations about the horrors of the Holocaust.”
It sounds as if he’s part of the younger generation who paid attention in history class. Or better yet, who listened to his great-grandmother.

Another anti-Trump narrative goes up in smoke
By Mike Huckabee
I can hardly believe anyone is still flailing this dead horse, but some Democrats have been pushing for a memo to be released that would reveal why then-Attorney General Bill Barr declined to prosecute President Trump for obstruction of the Russia Collusion investigation. They were certain it would show that he ignored advice to prosecute Trump.
Well, it’s finally out. It shows that the Office of Legal Counsel advised him against prosecuting Trump because, aside from the issues about whether you could prosecute a sitting President, there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute him even if he weren’t President. So another cherished anti-Trump narrative goes up in smoke.
Personally, I’d think that all the evidence you’d need that Trump didn’t obstruct the investigation was that it dragged on for years, cost taxpayers $30 million and found absolutely nothing. It was based on partisan lies, falsified evidence and imaginations fired by the fever of Trump Derangement Syndrome. America would have been better off if it had been obstructed by an outbreak of common sense in DC, but that’s not likely to happen in our lifetimes.
New Hampshire Audit Update
By Mike Huckabee
I told you about the audit in Windham, New Hampshire, that found that voting machines were misreading folds in ballots as votes, causing them to be rejected for “overvoting” or having too many spaces filled in. It proved that a Republican who won by only 24 votes on election night actually won by 420 votes (that many Republican ballots had been falsely disqualified.)
Officials claim this was isolated to only that county, but other researchers claim they’ve identified neighboring counties with the exact same issue.
I wonder if someday, we’ll look back on the people who declared questioning the 2020 election results to be a “Big Lie” the same way we’re already starting to look at the smug “fact-checkers” who said the same thing about questioning whether COVID-19 really came from eating bats out of a wet market?
A New Poll Is Raising Eyebrows
By Mike Huckabee
A new AP/NORC poll is raising eyebrows because it claims that President Biden has an overall approval rating of 63%.
https://apnews.com/article/biden-coronavirus-approval-rating-efcc859a21a0ab6c43dfb4157987bf80
Considering he had an approval rating of 54% shortly after taking office, and almost all Republicans and even some Democrats are appalled at his far-left lurch, where did those 9 extra points come from? Are there people who actually like having a crisis on the border, more racial animosity, exploding crime rates, disappointing jobs numbers, rising inflation and higher prices for gas, when you can even find it? The only thing Biden’s touched that hasn’t been a disaster is the COVID vaccine developed under Trump that he takes credit for.
Personally, I always take polls with a pillar of salt, particularly ones that claim their sample is representative of the population, but don’t give any details (the population of the New York Times editorial room, maybe.) But this one seems especially mind-boggling in light of another new survey from Gallup.
It shows that the economic confidence index which measures Americans’ confidence in the economy fell from +2 in April to -7 in May. That’s where it was in March, so confidence in the economy is moving backwards even as the pandemic is ending. The survey also found that only 43% of Americans think the economy is getting better, while 53% think it’s getting worse.
If James Carville was right, and what matters to Americans is “the economy, stupid,” then anyone who really believes Biden has a 63% approval rating when 53% of Americans think the economy is getting worse must be pretty stupid about either polls, math or both.
Triple
By Mike Huckabee
When Democrats claimed they could increase employment by spending federal money, they didn’t tell you they were going to do it by tripling the number of IRS agents. Because who doesn’t want more of those?
