DAILY BIBLE VERSE
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:6
Ted Cruz Saved American Democracy Last Night
By Mike Huckabee
We should all give a big thanks to Sen. Ted Cruz for being awake and alert at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and saving American democracy.
After 15 mind-numbing hours of amendment votes on the Democrats’ $3.2 TRILLION spending orgy bill, Senate “Majority” Leader Chuck Schumer attempted to sneak the “For The People” Act (aka, the “Legalize Vote Fraud” Act) into the mix, in hopes that sleep-deprived Republicans wouldn’t notice and would fail to object, thereby approving it by unanimous consent. But Cruz rose and objected repeatedly, stopping Schumer in his tracks.
Cruz called the bill a “federal takeover of elections” and a “massive power grab by Democrats” that would do the opposite of its title by ensuring that the people can’t vote politicians out of office. He elaborated that it would “strike down virtually every reasonable voter integrity law in the country, including voter ID laws supported by the overwhelming majority of this country, including prohibitions on ballot harvesting, again widely supported by people in this country. It would mandate that felons be allowed to vote, and it would automatically register millions of illegal aliens to vote. It would profoundly undermine democracy in this country…”
Yes, but “for the people!”
The defeated Schumer hilariously grumbled, “Let there be no mistake about what is going on here. We have reached a point in this chamber where Republicans appear to oppose any measure — any measure, no matter how common sense — to protect voting rights and strengthen our democracy.”
That’s funny, because if you replaced the word “Republicans” with “Democrats,” that would be a perfect description of what Democrats are trying to do all over the nation to block common sense election integrity measures and to destroy them completely with the “Legalize Vote Fraud” Act.
The Biden Administration Is Thinking About Mandating Vaccines For Travel Between States
By Mike Huckabee
One of our rules here is that we only comment on news that’s actually happened, not rumors about things that might happen. So to be clear: the Biden White House has not decided to try to make Americans show proof of vaccination if they want to travel between states, like Nazis making people show their papers at border crossings. The news is that they have actually thought about it.
Also, while I haven’t mentioned this story yet, since he no longer holds any political power, the story at that link does discuss Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent controversial comments in which he inadvertently came up with the perfect slogan for today’s Democratic Party: "BLEEP Your Freedom!"

Must-Read Twitter Thread About Afghanistan
By Mike Huckabee
With the Taliban now reportedly seizing 60% of Afghanistan (as of this writing), and possibly also seizing large amounts of US weaponry, author, former NSC staffer and Afghan vet Paul D. Miller wrote a must-read Twitter thread before what he considers to be myths about US involvement in Afghanistan turn into accepted truths.

Kudos
By Mike Huckabee
Kudos to the Newberg Public Schools Board in Oregon (and I don’t get to say that about school boards too often these days) for voting to bar BLM and LGBTQ Pride flags and other items from school property.
They are under heavy attack from the left, with the usual false accusations of promoting racism and anti-gay intolerance. But the point is to get back to what schools are supposed to do: educate students without the distraction of divisive political messaging of ANY kind.
I wonder what the people attacking them for this would say if students were allowed to come to school wearing MAGA caps and waving Trump flags? I’m sure they would be “literally shaking” and demand that that be banned. I wonder how any of them would have survived under the school behavior rules and dress codes we had to follow when I went to school.
Narrative Buster

According to a new survey of over 5 million Americans by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburg, the group of Americans most hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID are those dumb, knuckle-dragging, low-information…people with Ph.D.s?!
