DAILY BIBLE VERSE
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:38
2020 Election Update
By Mike Huckabee
I’m sure some readers wonder why I don’t write daily updates on all the 2020 election audits and questions and challenges. It’s because if I did, that’s all I’d ever have time to do. The general flow of these stories is that the auditors request information, the officials refuse to hand it over, the Democrats attack the auditors and say “Jim Crow” a lot, Republicans go to a judge to force the officials to turn over the evidence, the officials refuse again, the Republicans go back to court, lather-rinse-repeat.
Occasionally, the auditors will come up with something that stinks like week-old fish, and the election officials and Democrats will insist there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation that they would have seen if they’d only examined the evidence that the election officials and Democrats fought like panthers to keep them from seeing. Pardon me if I don’t want to cover that five times a day.
I bring it up only because that’s the basic story of the latest update to the Maricopa County, Arizona, audit story. The auditors reported last week that about 74,000 absentee ballots had been mailed in and counted for which they could find no records of anyone requesting them.
The county officials have now responded that the auditors were wrong and nearly 400,000 more ballots were requested than received back. The auditors said they didn’t accuse the county of criminality, they just said they couldn’t verify the records because the county officials kept fighting them to keep from showing the records. I won’t bore you with all the details and serial numbers of forms and he said/they said, etc., but if you want to see it, it’s here.
Read that and you’ll understand why I’m cautious about reporting any stories that come out of an election audit until they're verified. I do NOT want this newsletter to read like that every day.
I will point out, however, that just a couple of days after the election, I called on Joe Biden to join with Trump in requesting an open, bipartisan examination of the vote, warning that if he didn’t, a cloud of suspicions, whether legitimate or not, would hang over his Administration, undermine his credibility and make it difficult for him to unite the country and govern. I got attacked from the left just for saying that. Well, we’re now six months into the Biden Administration, and how is that plan of telling skeptics they’re crazy while fighting to keep the evidence hidden working out?
Latest Victory For Wokeness
By Mike Huckabee
In the latest victory for wokeness, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved language in its annual defense policy bill that would require women to register for the draft. Yes, the same leaders who think the job of the military is not to be prepared to defeat our enemies on the battlefield but to promote social justice and root out white supremacist extremists (i.e., Trump voters) now thinks that in a nation with over 150 million men, if we needed to reinstate the draft, we should force our daughters to go into combat.
The Daily Wire has the story, along with plenty of commentary. I like Bridget Phetasy’s question: “Oh, now we’re ‘women?’” As Dana Loesch explains, these same liberals called women “birthing persons” until they wanted to draft them.
Tell you what, I will go along with drafting women, as long as we only draft women who spent most of their lives as men before they “became” women in order to compete in women’s athletic events.
Same Story, Different Blue State
By Mike Huckabee
I reported this week about Philadelphia mothballing an entire fleet of Proterra electric buses it bought in 2015 because the batteries didn’t hold a charge long enough for the bus routes and were so heavy, they were cracking the buses’ chassis. Well, in suburban Los Angeles, it’s déjà vu all over again.
This is what the Biden Administration wants to spend trillions to go all-in on, assuring us that it represents “the future of mass transportation.” I’m afraid that if they get their way, that might be true.
Another Victory For The Wokesters
By Mike Huckabee
The wokesters scored another victory Friday (please note that I did NOT say they “claimed another scalp”) when the Cleveland Indians finally caved in and announced that the team would be renamed the Cleveland Guardians. They had to explain the name’s origin, I assume so nobody would think it meant “Guardian Angels” and trigger the anti-God protesters.
Paula Bolyard at PJ Media (a lifelong Indians fan) has a write-up of this story that treats it about as reverently as it deserves for taking a tomahawk to the team’s history and traditions.
She also notes that surveys showed nine out of ten Native Americans had no problem with the name Cleveland Indians. Most of the outrage, as is often the case, was driven by offended white liberals taking it upon themselves to speak for a minority that didn’t care. I wonder how many of them have ever visited a reservation and asked Native Americans what they thought? For that matter, how many of them have ever even attended a Cleveland Indians baseball game? I also wonder how many longtime Cleveland Indians fans will ever do that again. If they do, Ms Bolyard says they’ll probably be wearing vintage or black market Cleveland Indians gear.
Weekend Time Killer
By Mike Huckabee
A big collection of recent conservative political memes, some of which will probably get you banned from Facebook for sharing them. Some are serious, many are hilarious, a few are just for fun.
