BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
New Study
By Mike Huckabee
Say, remember how we had to shut down the world because the COVID-19 virus was so contagious, it could leap into your face if you were surfing on the ocean or walking alone in the woods without wearing a mask? It was the first time we ever had a disease where we quarantined all the healthy people who didn’t have it.
Well, a new study of over 7,000 households in Boston found that even if a family member who lives in your house has COVID-19, if you’re healthy, there’s only about a 10% chance that you’ll catch it. If you have comorbidities, your risk of catching it increases. The worst is liver disease, which more than doubles your risk. But that still means it goes from 1-in-10 to 1-in-5.
But we’re all supposed to remain hunkered down indefinitely, staying socially distanced and wearing three masks even after we get vaccinated. I think somebody is trying to pull the masks over our eyes.
Peak Wokeness
By Mike Huckabee
The Harvard Business School Club of New York canceled a speaker after someone complained about his planned topic: cancel culture. That's right, he was canceled because someone complained about him planning to say that people now get canceled just because someone complains.
I understand that some people at Ivy League schools want to rescind degrees that were earned by conservatives and Trump supporters. I don’t have a Harvard degree, but I can assure them that if I did, I would happily return it.
Quote of the Day
By Mike Huckabee
From Sen. Tom Cotton at CPAC, talking about how his column suggesting using federal troops to quell riots “caused a total meltdown with all the little social justice warriors at the New York Times… all these children that have been marinated in the language of the campus seminar room.”:
“They said things like, ‘your words put my life at risk,’ as if typing on their phone, sitting on their futons, was as dangerous as being a cop trying to stop rioters in the streets. Or, ‘your words are violence.’ No, I’m sorry kiddo: words are words; violence is what your friends are doing out on the streets of America.”
Sorry if reading those words caused you any physical pain or left you “literally shaking.” If so, see your doctor immediately.
Most Corrupt City
By Mike Huckabee
A new study by the University of Illinois ranked Chicago #1 as the most corrupt city in America. Based on DOJ records, Chicago had nearly 1800 corruption convictions between 1976 and 2019. And note, that’s just convictions. Chicago is the city that gave us the joke about the mobster saying he had a perfect record: 500 arrests, no convictions.
Chicago was followed on the “most corrupt cites” list by Los Angeles, with New York City in third place. Hmm…as different as those three cities are, what could they possibly have in common that would make them all so corrupt?...
