The Good Old Days
By Mike Huckabee
This exchange between a Democrat and Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee about the corrosive effects of government handouts on people’s work ethic (which the Oklahoma Republican saw firsthand in his stepdad as a kid) reminds me of the good old days when Ted Kennedy used to lecture Republicans about how we didn’t know what it was like to be poor. I think John Kerry fulfills that role now.
Twitter Strikes Again
By Mike Huckabee
The latest victim of Twitter’s war on unapproved free speech from conservatives is James O’Keefe Project Veritas. That account has been permanently suspended for “repeated violations of Twitter’s private information policy.”
That suspension (and a since-lifted suspension of O’Keefe’s personal account) was sparked by a video of a Project Veritas reporter confronting Facebook Vice President Guy Rosen about their policy of freezing accounts for alleged “hate speech.” The reporter asked Rosen, “How do you define hate speech? Is it just speech that you hate?” Rosen wouldn’t answer.
Twitter demanded that the clip be taken down, and O’Keefe refused. Twitter claims they are guilty of repeated violations of Twitter’s policies prohibiting sharing or threats of sharing other people’s private information without consent. Normally, sharing private information of public interest that someone doesn't want shared is called “journalism,” just like “60 Minutes” and every other undercover journalism outfit has been practicing it for decades. Except Project Veritas does it to expose the left, so that doesn't count.
O’Keefe said Twitter offered to lift the suspension if the clip was taken down, but he refused, comparing it to their same demand that the New York Post remove its tweets about Hunter Biden’s laptop, even though the story turned out to be true. He said, “I will not kneel. Twitter is wrong. Let them kneel.”
This is just the latest prominent conservative voice to be silenced by Twitter, following radio host Wayne Allan Root, who warned, “I’m just telling you, they took me. Soon they’re coming for you.”
This is why I maintain my own website and email newsletter, as well as social media accounts on as many platforms as possible. I urge all conservatives to sign up for alternative services such as Parler (when it comes back), Rumble, MeWe and others that I expect to pop up at an ever-increasing rate (and subscribe to me wherever you land.) Let’s make Twitter rue the day that they thought they were so powerful and important that they could bully, censor and silence 75 million Americans.
Help Twitter discover to their regret that they needed us a lot more than we needed them. May they be the MySpace of the 2022 election.
How Bad Were The House Impeachment Managers?
By Mike Huckabee
If anyone is actually keeping up with the “impeachment” farce (I can almost feel the public’s interest evaporating, like the air being sucked out of a room when a dying comic stays on too long), this is a good article from a lawyer’s standpoint about how bad the House impeachment managers’ case is:
I’m not an attorney, but it seems obvious that when you have to start dragging up out-of-context quotes the defendant said years ago that are irrelevant to the issue at hand, and including known fake news like the “very fine people among the white supremacists” hoax, you might as well just say, “We have no case. Sorry for wasting everyone’s time. The prosecution rests.”
Rising Oil and Gas Prices
By Mike Huckabee
In case you hadn’t noticed, just since the election, the price of oil has risen by nearly 50% and gas prices are up by 18%. And with President Biden using executive orders to kill the fossil fuel industry so that we can all drive electric cars charged by wind power from the flapping of magical fairies’ wings, an expert from Princeton Energy Advisors estimates that gas could cost over $4 a gallon by 2022.
Maybe Biden isn't worried since he figures all our businesses and schools will still be locked down, so we’ll have no place to drive, anyway.
Another energy industry expert added, “In four years [under Trump], we had made the U.S. energy-independent and denied the bad guys the ability to control global oil prices. The Democrats undo it in two weeks. Just incredible.”
Naturally, he asked to remain anonymous. Telling the truth is dangerous these days.
“Hey, They’re Good Folks!”
By Mike Huckabee
Have you been worried about all the recent stories of university academics being busted for their hidden ties to the communist government of China? Like this…
Are you concerned about Beijing infiltrating our universities, stealing our information and indoctrinating your kids into their totalitarian communist worldview?
Well, worry no more! President Trump’s rule requiring schools to reveal their partnerships with Confucius Institutes that have been called Chinese communist propaganda outlets has been revoked by President Biden. That should lead to far fewer stories about academics who collude with the Chinese communist government being exposed.
