BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
How do you think this is working?
By Mike Huckabee
Even since Los Angeles elected its far-left District Attorney George Gascon, and he began emptying jails and refusing to prosecute criminals under the guise of “justice reform,” crime in L.A. has been skyrocketing. Here’s how brazen criminals have become: a convicted murderer currently serving 40-to-life in San Quentin released a video of him partying with his cellmate and toasting Gascon with prison moonshine, to celebrate what he calculates will be his impending release under Gascon’s “compassionate” new policies.
Personally, I’d prefer to see him stay in prison and send him a new cellmate. Guess who I’d nominate for that position.
ICYMI: New Blog
By Mike Huckabee
Not everything my team and I write makes my newsletter, or for that matter my website. The new blog on my website, is a place to find everything you might have missed and then some. It is updated throughout the day and will be a new way for me to share information with you.
We started blogging on Tuesday and will keep it going if people take an interest.

"Hero's Pay" leads to lost jobs
By Mike Huckabee
Ignoring warnings that it could harm workers, the Los Angeles City Council voted to force groceries and pharmacies to give a temporary $5-an-hour “hero’s pay” increase to their workers. In response, Kroger announced that it was shutting down two local Ralph’s markets and a Food 4 Less supermarket.
Kroger said it didn’t want to close the stores, but between the increased costs of operating during the pandemic and an extra $20 million added to salaries over 120 days by the City Council, it had become impossible to keep them open. Kroger had previously shut two stores in Long Beach at a loss of 200 jobs after politicians there passed a $4-an-hour “hero’s pay” mandate.
I agree that grocery workers have been heroes during the pandemic, but liberal city council members, not so much. The workers would've been better off if the politicians had just stayed home from work since last March.
But go ahead, Washington Democrats! Double the minimum wage! What could possibly go wrong?
ID Needed
By Mike Huckabee
Dan McLaughlin at National Review reports that Washington, DC, officials announced that to ensure only DC-residing essential workers are receiving their doses of COVID-19, recipients will be required to show some form of ID such as a work ID badge, paystub or letter from their employer.
As McLaughlin notes, liberal officials have no problem requiring people to show an ID when it’s something they actually care about, unlike making sure the vote is honest.
Smashing the Narrative
By Mike Huckabee
Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) keep trying to tar every Trump voter as a violent insurrectionist. But Dr. Jordan Peterson shared the results of a study that found that conservatives are the group of Americans who least support the idea of violence ever being justified in pursuing political goals.
“Very conservative whites” were the absolute least supportive of violence (4.2%.) Meanwhile, the number of liberals who support using violence to advance political goals is rising, with “very liberal whites” the most supportive (33.5% compared to 13.1% in 2018.)
This might explain all those tweets from leftists who want to shoot Trump supporters or put them in concentration camps because they think conservatives are Nazis. Their self-awareness is almost as lacking as their knowledge of history.
New York's Two Senators Speak Up
By Mike Huckabee
Add New York Democrat Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand to the list of powerful people calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign. This after a seventh woman came forward to make sexual harassment allegations against him. Cuomo is still refusing to consider quitting.
In a joint statement, the two Senators said, “Due to the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it is clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners and the people of New York. Governor Cuomo should resign.”
Other big name Democrats who’ve called on him to resign for the same reason include Reps. Jerry Nadler and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Considering that the sexual harassment allegations are still just allegations that have yet to be verified, but we know for certain that he forced nursing homes to take in COVID patients, leading to thousands of deaths of elderly residents that were undercounted in order to cover up and dodge a DOJ investigation, it would have been nice if they’d mentioned that slight bit of misconduct, too. But Democrats will be Democrats, and these are their priorities.
In a stunningly ironic twist, Cuomo blamed “cancel culture” and “politics” for the calls for his resignation, which he refused to heed, and insisted he’s telling the truth. Click the link to see how this differs greatly from what he said when then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was hit with sexual abuse allegations that were far less credible.

A Reader Writes Back...
I love it. You used our line. “You win a cookie.”. My husband and I have been saying that for years after Don Rickles said it at the end of “Kelly’s Heroes”, when they were dividing the gold bars they took from the German bank behind enemy lines. Thank you Mike. You made my day.
