You'll love this one!
By Mike Huckabee
Guess someone didn't get the message that standards of speech and behavior have done a 180-degree flip since the Democrats took over. A Twitter troll tweeted this comment about members of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's staff:
"If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore anywhere."
Not surprisingly, this elicited outrage from Democrats, including members of the New York Assembly, who denounced it as hateful, a thuggish incitement of violence and outright facism.
I couldn't agree more! Except they somehow didn't recognize it as a direct quote from Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters in 2018, only directed at Cuomo's staff instead of President Trump's staff. It was the very same incitement to hatred, violence and intolerance that led to my daughter Sarah and her family having to leave a restaurant in Virginia.
As the writer of this article notes, how many of these Democrats will now call out Maxine Waters for using the kind of hateful, violent, indendiary rhetoric they reflexively attribute to Trump supporters? It would be nice if they'd done it three years ago, but better late than never.
Cicely Tyson Dies at 96
By Pat Reeder
The family of groundbreaking actress Cicely Tyson announced that she passed away Thursday afternoon at 96.
Ironically, many fans first saw her in makeup that made her look 110 in the 1974 TV movie, “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman,” in which she played a former slave who lived to see the 1960s civil rights movement (she was only 50 at the time.) That role won her two of her three primetime Emmy Awards. She also received a Tony Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, an honorary Oscar and many other awards, nominations and honors over her long career.
However, by the time “Jane Pitttman” made her a star, she had already enjoyed years of success, first as a fashion model, then an actress. She made history in 1963 by becoming the first African-American to star in a TV drama, the CBS series “East Side, West Side." She appeared in "The Blacks," which became the longest-running non-musical off-Broadway show of the 1960s, and in the soap opera, “The Guiding Light.” She was also in a number of films, including “The Comedians” and “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.” In 1972, she was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the movie “Sounder.” Shortly afterward, “Miss Jane Pittman” made her a household name.
Tyson went on to appear in many plays, TV shows and movies, including “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All,” “The Help” and “How to Get Away with Murder,” the ABC series for which she received Emmy nominations in five different seasons while she was in her 90s.
Some things you might not know about Cicely Tyson: she was married to jazz great Miles Davis throughout the 1980s (he credited her with saving his life by getting him off cocaine, but it didn't save the marriage.) And like fellow celebrated actress Cloris Leachman, who just died at 94 after a similarly long, healthy life and brilliant career, Tyson was a vegetarian. Maybe there’s something in those Brussels sprouts after all.
Executive Order Update
By Mike Huckabee
Make that 40 executive orders, actions and memorandums in nine days:
"Vote At Home Act"
By Mike Huckabee
Thursday, Congressional Democrats introduced a bill called the “Vote At Home Act,” which would allegedly “fight voter suppression” by massively expanding mail-in ballots.
It would certainly prevent the unfair suppression of voting by people who are voting in multiple states, people who just like to vote several times, people who harvest ballots from nursing homes and fill them in themselves, dead people and other notable Democrat constituencies.
But don’t take my word that universal mail-ballots are not secure and a formula for massive vote fraud and untrustworthy elections. Take it from renowned Trump hater and owner of Amazon and the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos.
Is A Supreme Court Change Coming?
By Mike Huckabee
During the campaign, President Biden refused to say whether he would back expanding and packing the Supreme Court with liberal judges, to turn it into a rubber stamp for a Democrat White House and Congress. Instead, he let the media bamboozle the public into thinking they were voting for a cautious, consensus-seeking moderate. Suckers!
Biden is already appointing a “committee to study Supreme Court reform,” and one of his chosen members is on record as advocating for expanding the Court.
For those who weren’t paying attention in civics class (and I assume that includes most of this Administration), the Supreme Court is not meant to be subservient to the President or Congress. It’s a separate, equal branch of the government, specifically created to put the brakes on the other two branches when they try to pass laws or issue orders that violate the Constitution. It’s shocking that I should have to remind the President of the United States of that fact. But then, it’s also shocking how many members of the current Supreme Court also seem unaware of it.
