The Biggest News Around My House
By Mike Huckabee
Okay, I know there’s a lot of national news out there, but this is the biggest news around our house, so pardon me for making it the top headline.
I hope you will get behind Sarah’s campaign and offer her your full support. I can’t think of anyone who is more knowledgeable on the workings of the Arkansas government, or who could possibly do a better job. And that’s not just her dad’s pride talking!
Here’s her announcement video and a link to support her campaign.
Elections Have Dire Consequences
By Mike Huckabee
It appears that not enough Americans subscribe to this newsletter, or else they would have no excuse for casting uninformed votes for Joe Biden and other Democrats and now be expressing shock and dismay at what they’re doing. The warnings were right here, every day for a year. And yet, getting rid of Trump’s mean tweets was all-important.
Now, buyer’s remorse is already setting in with a vengeance. A rising tide of complaints is coming from labor unions, entire states, other nations such as Canada, women (black women in particular, who benefit from sports scholarships that will now be dominated by “trans women”), and even an Indian tribe that’s accusing Biden of making “a direct attack on our economy, sovereignty, and our right to self-determination” with his 60-day moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal land.
Texas has already filed a lawsuit to block one of Biden’s executive orders.
New Mexico voted for Biden by 10 points, and their economy is heavily dependent on oil and gas drilling, much of it on federal lands. Now, panic is striking New Mexico. Many of those fuel companies will just move directly east to Texas, where they can drill on non-federal land. A study by the University of Wyoming found that if Biden’s ban on new federal land fuel leases stays in effect throughout his four-year term, New Mexico would lose “36,217 jobs, $22.1 billion in GDP, $9.8 billion in wages and $6.3 billion in tax revenue.”
And here are a couple of stories about shocked Biden voters who thought they were getting a moderate centrist (or in some cases, a $2000 check), and instead are watching Biden sign one executive order after another that will destroy thousands of jobs, devastate the economy and end border security.
Here’s a typical post: “Jeremy just called and yelled at me. He said everyone on the job site are freaking out thinking they are going to lose their jobs. He’s blaming me for voting for Biden. You know I hated the way Trump acted. Is it true that Jeremy could lose his job?”
Yes, chances are he will, as will many other Americans. But at least he won’t have to read any mean Trump tweets while standing in the unemployment line.
Who else is kicking themselves for supporting Biden? How about all the unions whose members’ jobs will be wiped out by Biden’s executive orders?
Frankly, it’s too exhausting and depressing to try to keep up with all the economic carnage being wrecked so quickly, but Jeff Dunetz at The Lid blog is giving it a go. He estimates that in just his first 72 hours in office, Biden has killed over 70,000 jobs directly (he also quotes some of the howling from various union leaders who helped put him in office, prioritizing politics over the good of their members – something the members should remember come voting time.)
Of course, those are just the immediate, direct job losses. There will be many more, due to the snowball effect. Because of Biden’s war on domestic energy, fuel prices are already going up (one month ago, the average cost of a gallon of regular was $2.25; today it’s $2.40, and that’s only the beginning.) Higher costs of fuel and more regulations will make American products more expensive to produce and transport, which will make them less competitive in the market, which will lower sales and revenues, which means fewer jobs and lower wages. These are things you know if you’ve ever run a business, but not if you’ve drawn an always-increasing government paycheck for decades.
Finally, here’s Stephen Kruiser’s morning recap of the first five days of turning the White House over to the captain of the Titanic.

A New Gas Tax?!?
By Mike Huckabee
Just in case all the other Biden initiatives to cancel the Keystone Pipeline and clamp down on domestic fuel production don’t make it too expensive to drive, his pick for Transportation Secretary, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, is worried that gas taxes aren’t high enough.
Say, remember when Joe Biden vowed that his tax increases wouldn’t cost a penny more to people making less than $400,000? Yeah, those were the days…
A Welcome Reminder
By Mike Huckabee
A hat tip to David Harsanyi at the New York Post for reminding us that while former CIA Director John Brennan is routinely given an unchallenged forum by liberal cable news outlets to give hypocritical moral lectures about Trump supporters being an “insidious threat to democracy,” he is actually “a congenital liar” who “deserves to be in prison.”
At the link, a few reminders of why Brennan, not conservatives or Libertarians, is the one who should be residing in a federal correctional facility.

Heartening News
By Mike Huckabee
After a number of big cities foolishly elected George Soros-backed district attorneys whose idea of “criminal justice reform” was throwing open all the jail doors and not prosecuting anyone for breaking the law, a backlash finally appears to be rising. Even in Los Angeles, where their new county prosecutor George Gascon only took office in December, his dangerous policies are sparking rebellion among local prosecutors.
Of course, it will be that much harder to do anything about it because he’ll now have a Biden DOJ backing up his radical “social justice over justice” practices. You see – and I guess I have to keep pointing this out – the only way to keep these leftist idiots from sowing havoc to turn out at the polls and vote to keep them out of power in the first place. It’s like lung cancer: if you want to avoid it, the first and best step is to not start buying cigarettes.
Democrat Tulsi Gabbard Shares Her Views
By Mike Huckabee
I’ve called former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard a “unicorn” because she is that rarest of creatures: a sensible Democrat who’s alarmed by the demonization of conservatives, Christians and Trump voters, and the attempt to weaponize government power to silence, persecute and even arrest people who don’t express the “right” (that is, left) views.
This article by Tyler O’Neill takes off from some of Gabbard’s comments for a wider look at how this branding of people guilty of “wrongthink” has spread from the slanderous activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center, once a noble organization that fought for civil rights, but now a corrupt racket that gins up donations by branding mainstream conservative and religious organizations as “hate groups.”
If you missed “Huckabee” this weekend on TBN (and seriously, there’s no excuse), she was one of my guests. Watch that interview here, and I’ll forgive you.
