Remember the Raskin family in your prayers
By Mike Huckabee
Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin and his wife Sarah released a heartbreaking statement announcing the death of their 25-year-old son Tommy, a Harvard Law student. No cause of death was given.
There is no worse tragedy than for parents to lose a child. This is a time for putting political differences aside. We offer our sincere sympathies to the Raskin family and hope you’ll remember them in your prayers.
Five Historic Achievements
By Mike Huckabee
As we all celebrate the end of 2020, here’s a reminder that it wasn’t all bad. Tyler O’Neil of PJ Media counts down five historic achievements of President Trump in 2020 that will keep bearing dividends long into the future.
Ten Worst Governors
By Mike Huckabee
Looking back, here’s a list of 2020’s Top 10 Worst Governors. Biggest surprise: neither Gavin Newsom nor Andrew Cuomo made #1. But there’s always next year.
And while we’re at it, here are the Ten Worst Mayors of 2020. Biggest surprise: Bill DeBlasio didn’t make #1.
Refreshing to hear
By Mike Huckabee
A lot of people who had nothing to do with the rapid development of a COVID-19 vaccine – and who mocked President Trump for saying it would happen – are now brimming with suggestions for who should get it first: other nations, non-whites, “essential workers,” and of course, themselves (we all know how essential Democrat politicians are.) That’s why it was so refreshing to hear what Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in explaining why he would not cut the line to get the vaccine before Florida’s elderly population does:
"I’m willing to take it, but I am not the priority, they’re the priority. I’m under 45. People under 45 are not going to be first in line for this, so when it’s my turn, I will take it. I want my parents, our grandparents to be able to get it. I’m an elected official, but whoop-dee-doo. At the end of the day, let’s focus where the risk is."
"I'm an elected official, but whoop-dee-doo" is not merely the quote of the day, in a year in which too many elected officials acted as if they were kings, gods or dictators, it might be the quote of the year.
Warning to Los Angeles
By Mike Huckabee
Welcome to life in a city with criminal-coddling, leftwing city attorneys. Warning to Los Angeles residents: this is your future. Warning to everyone else: this is your future if you aren’t vigilant over who you vote for in local elections.
"No Realistic Path"
By Mike Huckabee
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the idea of a blanket $2000 coronavirus relief payment has “no realistic path” to approval in the Senate.
He’s linked it to President Trump’s other two demands (repealing Section 230 that protects Big Tech companies from lawsuits and an investigation of election irregularities), which Democrats oppose for mysterious reasons. So it looks as if the $2000 checks are stalled for now.
McConnell also says that with the national debt skyrocketing, we need to pass targeted relief to people who really need it, not turn on a “fire hose” of borrowed money that will end up in the hands of the Democrats’ rich friends who don’t need the help.
FYI: Here are a couple of examples of what happens when the government starts throwing around money without paying close attention to where it’s going.
It’s like the episode of “The Simpsons” where Bart and Lisa get a job and their paycheck is sent to their Grandpa. They ask him, didn’t he think it was odd when checks started arriving for no reason? He said, “I thought it was because the Democrats were back in power.”
