BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY 

Biden Says No

By Mike Huckabee

Any young people who voted for Democrats because you think they’re “progressive” might be interested to hear that President Biden is reversing Trump’s emphasis on space exploration and going to Mars and the FAA has ordered Elon Musk to cancel his upcoming SpaceX Starship prototype test launch.

No reason was given, but I’m sure the prediction that kneecapping space exploration puts 50,000 American jobs at risk must’ve been a strong incentive. My personal theory is that because Musk said a Martian colony wouldn’t be ruled by “Earth-based laws,” Biden is afraid that after a year or two under the Democrats, everybody in America will be demanding to move to Mars.

Military Stand-Down Ordered

By Mike Huckabee

New Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has ordered a 60-day stand-down to address “extremism” in the ranks of the US military. Toni Williams at the Victory Girls blog has more background, and makes some excellent points.

For instance, if this is intended to root out genuine extremists, such as Major Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood mass shooter, and other dangerous characters of all stripes, then it should be applauded. If it’s an attempt to redefine “extremism” to mean pro-lifers, Trump voters, Second Amendment supporters and other law-abiding conservatives, then it will be an unconstitutional witch hunt and an unconscionable slander of America’s troops.

I will try to be hopeful that it’s the former. But considering how Hassan’s growing extremism was deliberately overlooked for fear of accusations of “Islamophobia” and how the Obama/Biden Administration tried to pass his deadly, radical Islamic terrorist attack off as “workplace violence,” I will have to be convinced.

Fantastic Proposal

By Mike Huckabee

Here’s a fantastic proposal by Mark Tapscott at PJ Media that would not only rein in the too-big-and-powerful tech companies, it would also put money in all our pockets:

Make them pay us our share of the profits they make from selling our personal data, which should belong only to us.

Tapscott compares this to the music industry, where artists and songwriters must be paid royalties whenever anyone uses their creations to make profits.

Tapscott suggests changing the law so that 90% of the profits generated from selling our data would be redistributed back to all Americans (Democrats should like that because it has the phrase “redistributing wealth” in it.) That means that instead of raking in a combined $130 billion in ad revenue last year, Google, Facebook and Twitter would have to scrape by on just $13 billion. The rest would be evenly divided between all of us, who provided them with the data that they sold to make that profit. It would be a big help to all the people in radio, TV and print who’ve lost their jobs or taken pay cuts because those three companies are soaking up so much ad revenue.

Of course, the stockholders of those companies would not be happy, but maybe this will serve as a warning that they need to order their executives to prioritize shareholder profits and customer service over pushing their radical left political views.

Tapscott’s proposal sounds much fairer (“fair” is another word Democrats claim to love), although Democrats might not love the fact that it would leave these tech companies with a lot less money to interfere in our elections and make it harder for them to try to censor, slander and cancel half their customer base. To me, that would be an even bigger bonus than the annual royalty check.

Trump Drops The SAG

By Mike Huckabee

SAG/AFTRA, the union of movie and TV performers, decided to do some self-righteous, anti-Trump virtue signaling (this routine is getting as old as telling Nixon jokes) by threatening to expel him from the union. It blew up in their faces when he released a letter to them that’s such an epic “in your face” smackdown that it gave Trump voters and the world a much-needed reminder of why they supported him in the first place.

Here’s the story:

And here’s an easy-to-read copy of the entire letter.

Also worth mentioning: how many actors have you seen over the past four years wishing horrible violent deaths on Trump and anyone who supports him, and calling for insurrection against the Trump White House? How many of them have been expelled or even criticized by SAG-AFTRA? Perfect example: Kathy “Severed Bloody Trump Head” Griffin is still a member.

The “Party of Science!”

By Mike Huckabee

White House press secretary Jen Psaki declared that even though the COVID-19 vaccines are “obviously an incredible medical breakthrough,” Americans will still have to keep wearing masks and social distancing even after they’re vaccinated.

Apparently, we’ll all be expected to continue obeying these draconian government edicts to avoid a virus that we’ll all be vaccinated against until the end of time, or until she credits President Trump with that “incredible medical breakthrough,” whichever comes last.

I know it’s been a looooooooooooong time since the White House Press Corps practiced journalism, so they’ve probably forgotten how, so I’m going to give them a refresher course in how to do their jobs: When you hear a political figure tell you that Americans will have to keep following strict government mandates even after the point at which they’ve been rendered completely pointless, that’s your cue to all shout in union:

“WHY?!!!”

Hold On To Your Teeth

By Mike Huckabee

CNN actually ran a story questioning the propriety of Joe Biden’s family members using their name and political connections to make money.

Sure, it comes about a year too late, but whenever CNN commits actual journalism, it should be noted. It’s like the old saying about a dog walking on its hind legs: you don’t criticize its posture; the miracle is that it’s done at all.
