BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Cancelled
By Mike Huckabee
Fox Business News announced that it was cancelling its highest-rated show, “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” The network said it was part of programming changes that are “regularly weighed” and was a planned post-election change. However, speculation is rampant that they were distancing themselves from Dobbs after he was named in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit by the voting technology company Smartmatic over claims of 2020 election fraud.
And for the record: no, I have no inside information on what happened. But I wish Dobbs the best and assume he will soon be back on some other media outlet.
The Ship Is Sinking
By Mike Huckabee
Another of our moral superiors from the slanderously-misnamed “Lincoln Project” has abandoned the sinking, rat-infested ship…
This is what pulled the plug…
As they turn on each other, let me remind you that even liberals long ago blasted them as grifters, although it would have been nice if someone had also spoken up earlier about the alleged pedophilia.
Bombshells
By Mike Huckabee
Two bombshell pieces of news struck the country music world at once this week. A rising star found himself “canceled” by radio, his record label and the ACM Awards after video emerged of him drunkenly using a racial slur, while another rising country performer came out as gay. Personally, I miss Don Williams.
Hot mic
By Mike Huckabee
Here’s why politicians should remember when they’re wearing microphones: Rep. Steve Cohen and other House Judiciary Committee Democrats were overheard ridiculing Rep. Matt Gaetz’s proposal to say the Pledge of Allegiance before hearings. Cohen mocked people who have flags at their homes and say the Pledge. There were also some snarky comments about people who get on their knees and pray. Funny, I’d suggest Rep. Cohen do a lot more of that.
"America Is Back?"
By Mike Huckabee
After issuing 40 executive orders that will weaken America’s borders, undermine America’s economy, take away Americans’ freedoms, destroy Americans’ jobs and empower America’s enemies, President Biden declared that “America is back!” Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had an excellent follow-up question to that.
My question would be, “Do you mean America is in the back of the line? Because after Trump put America first, that’s where you seem intent on putting it.”
Ken Starr Weighs In On Second Impeachment
By Mike Huckabee
Former appellate judge and US Solicitor General Ken Starr denounced the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of former President Trump as “a flagrant violation of the text, structure and history of our Constitution,” as well as historical precedents, such as the way talk of impeaching of Richard Nixon immediately ended when he resigned.
Noting that all Senators (believe it or not) take an oath to defend and support the Constitution, Starr urged them to, for once, leave “politics at the bloody door” and drop this before they establish a pernicious precedent that will open up all former officials to being “impeached” for political reasons.
Starr also suggested that Senators write a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, asking him to explain his decision to refuse to preside over the trial, since the Constitution requires that in real impeachments of Presidents. Roberts declined to preside or to explain why. Starr thinks Roberts knows this farce is unconstitutional and it would kill it quickly if he’d just say so.
All I can say is, “He wants Chief Justice John Roberts to actually say that something is unconstitutional? Doesn’t he know Justice Roberts thinks that’s not his job?”
Stop Doing Nothing
By Mike Huckabee
I know I’m getting a lot of flak in the comments for telling Republicans to knock off the suicidal third party talk and the despondency and the “I’ll vote Democrat just to show how mad I am at the Republicans” nonsense. I know that a lot of people are feeling that, and here are the numbers to prove it.
Look, if you want to cut off your nose to spite your face, do it with a pair of scissors, not by voting Democrat. That will make the entire country bleed.
Taking your ball and going home literally means you let the other side win by default. The Republicans have an excellent chance of retaking both the House and Senate in 2022 and stopping this full-scale assault on our rights, freedoms, security and economy, but not if we don’t show up to vote. And I mean vote for a major party that actually has a chance of winning, not a splinter party that just splits the conservative vote and elects the left with a plurality. Republicans in Georgia didn’t show up for the runoffs in the same numbers as they did in November, and that gave us two of the most radical Senators in history and a tied Senate controlled by Kamala Harris.
I’m sorry if you don’t like me telling you the truth, but there are any number of media outlets that tell people only what they want to hear, regardless of reality. Here are some cold facts: If you claim to be a conservative yet you vote to empower leftists, you’re not a conservative. As for just sitting out future elections, I’ll remind you of the wisdom attributed to Edmund Burke:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Latest Jobs Report
By Mike Huckabee
The latest government jobs report shows that due to the endless pandemic lockdowns, only 49,000 jobs were created in January. The unemployment rate dropped from 6.7 to 6.3%, but only because of people being so discouraged that they dropped out of the job market and stopped looking for work.
Meanwhile, President Biden is issuing one executive order after another that seem to indicate he’s more interested in destroying jobs than in creating them. As this post at Instapundit makes clear, Biden knows that workers are struggling, but he still plans to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and open up the borders anyway. I like the question at the end of this post. My answer: “Heck, yes!”
Democrats’ New Definition of “Terrorist”
By Mike Huckabee
Anyone who voted for Trump or who expresses doubts about the 2020 election: “Terrorists.”
Members of Yemen’s Iran-backed militia: “Not terrorists.”
Hold Democrats To The Same Standard
By Mike Huckabee
I mentioned yesterday that if Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is to be stripped of her committee assignments, then it’s only fair that Democrats be held to the same standard. So thanks to Matt Margois at PJ Media for compiling a list of them.
