BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
CNN Ratings Drop
By Mike Huckabee
The latest theory on the right about why liberal media outlets have suddenly become obsessed with attacking Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is that with Rush Limbaugh and Donald Trump gone, they have to attack some conservative bogeyman because it’s the only way they can attract viewers. Here’s some proof of that in the latest CNN ratings.
The best thing you can say for them is that they’re not down quite as much as the ratings for the Grammy Awards.
Higher Taxes
By Mike Huckabee
Remember when candidate Biden promised that “if you make less than $400,000, you won’t pay a penny more (in taxes) under my Administration”?
Yeah, about that…turns out that by “you,” he meant your family. Your combined incomes, like if there are two earners making over $200,000 each.
I’ll let you know when it gets down to extended families with 10 members making over $40,000 each.
States Are Fighting Back Against Biden Power Grab
By Mike Huckabee
I mentioned yesterday that the Ohio Attorney General is suing the Biden Administration over the “COVID-19 relief bill’s” ban on states lowering taxes if they take relief money. Ohio might soon have some company in that lawsuit if the bill isn’t altered fast. A letter protesting the policy was sent to Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. It’s signed by the Attorneys General of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. That's quite a chunk of real estate.
They make the point that while the stated purpose might be to prevent states from specifically using relief funds to cut taxes, the vague language of the bill allows a state’s acceptance of relief funds to serve as a pretext for the feds to seize the power of the states to determine their own tax rates. Considering that Sen. Ron Johnson forced the Senate to read the bill out loud (and most Democrats refused to stay around and listen), they have no excuse not to know that, so I assume it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Many more details and the full text of the letter are at the link.
"Killer"
By Mike Huckabee
President Biden’s agreement that Russia President Vladimir Putin is a “killer” who has “no soul” continues to spark international conflict. Russia already recalled its ambassador and threatened other actions, and now, Putin has challenged Biden to a debate on live TV with no tape delays, in front of the entire world, as early as this weekend. Putin said, “We are ready at any time convenient for the American side.”
Unfortunately, it appears that President Biden’s schedule is just too busy this weekend:
I’m not surprised. I’d already put this down under “Christmas Day” and “The Apocalypse” on my list of things that were highly unlikely to happen this weekend. Unless, of course, President Harris wanted to take him on.
President Harris
By Mike Huckabee
I’ve often explained that in Washington, a “gaffe” is when a politician slips up and accidentally tells the truth. By that standard, was it a “gaffe” when President Biden referred to his Vice President yesterday as “President Harris”?
Fortunately for him, the official White House record of the transcript had its automatic gaffe eraser turned on.
The best line on this came from Stephen Kruiser at PJ Media: “It’s a bit disturbing when the President of the United States can’t remember who the President of the United States is.”
Special Podcast Episode
By Mike Huckabee
Special guests Callie and Cameron Kimball (and their attorney) join this bonus addition of "The People's Podcast with Mike Huckabee" to discuss their "outrageous" experience of getting kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight because their four-year-old son, who has autism, was not wearing a mask (despite having a medical note explaining why he's unable to wear one).

Pray For Canada
By Mike Huckabee
If you think that countries where people are thrown in jail just for committing thought crimes only exist in other parts of the world, then cast a wary eye northward toward our neighbor, Canada. That’s where a father has just been jailed for contempt of court for referring to his 14-year-old daughter, who identifies as male, as “she” and “her” and his “daughter.”
Not only that, Canadian courts ordered that the…er, offspring (who, again, is 14) receive testosterone injections without obtaining parental consent, and declared that “if either of her parents referred to her using female pronouns or addressed her by her birth name, they would be considered guilty of family violence.”
The father (if I’m still allowed to use gendered terms) responded, “The government has taken over my parental rights. They’re using (the girl) like she’s a guinea pig in an experiment…Is (British Columbia) Children’s Hospital going to be there in five years when she rejects [her male identity]? No they’re not. They don’t care. They want numbers.”
Let’s hope that doesn’t land him in solitary confinement. Again, let me repeat, this is not Iran, China or the Middle East. This is Canada in 2021. I will pray for Canada to once again start identifying as a free nation.
