BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
John 13:34 KJV
The kneejerk media anti-Trump bias
By Mike Huckabee
I’m linking to John Kass at Real Clear Politics, but a number of media outlets are reluctantly admitting that the main reason they treated any suspicions of COVID-19 escaping from a Chinese lab as a racist conspiracy theory that had to be silenced is because President Trump suggested it.
As longtime readers know, I’ve repeatedly cited this kneejerk media anti-Trump bias, in which everything Trump said had to be contradicted, nit-picked, distorted and branded as a “LIE,” even if he just said, “Good morning.” If Trump said he’d seen intelligence suggesting that the virus might have escaped from the Wuhan lab, then the media had no choice but to deny it in the strongest possible terms, even if it meant, to quote PJ Media’s Stephen Kruiser:
“…the American mainstream media was willing to take at face value any claims made by agents of the Chinese Communist Party, all the while rejecting and denigrating anything that was said by the president of the United States. It was a new low even for that group of professional bottom-dwellers.”
Remember, these are the same people who spent over two years giving us breathless updates on Trump’s lies about not colluding with Russia to steal the election, until their one-time hero Robert Mueller announced that he’d found no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia to steal the election. It makes you wonder how many other things they claimed were lies and conspiracy theories were actually just things Trump said, so true or not, they had to be denounced, denied and destroyed.
Here’s what happens when a "news" outlet foregoes professional journalistic standards in exchange for biased, kneejerk attacks on one political figure to drive him out of office…and it succeeds.
Fun Read
By Mike Huckabee
From health warnings against kissing chickens to a political headline that somehow manages to name-drop J-Lo and Ben Affleck, Brad Slager at Redstate.com presents the latest nominees for his Parody Pulitzer Prizes for Journalism.
Hilarious Metaphor
By Mike Huckabee
Leave it to Sen. John Kennedy to come up with the perfect hilarious metaphor to describe the relationship between the Chinese government and the World Health Organization.
Biden prevents ICE from doing its job
By Mike Huckabee
Leftists who have long demanded the abolishment of ICE, the agency that enforces US immigration laws and deports criminal illegal aliens, have practically gotten their wish thanks to President Biden. He’s so thoroughly blocked ICE from doing its job that deportations are at the lowest level on record, even as illegal entries are skyrocketing (178,622 Border Agent encounters in April alone, with almost none being deported and most just released into the US without even scheduling a court date to determine if they merit asylum.)
Despite Biden’s rhetoric and denials and the media’s covering for him, the border is open, it’s a humanitarian and national security disaster, and it is entirely of his own making.
Divine Justice
By Mike Huckabee
Last year, Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown voted to cut $73 million from the city’s police budget. Naturally, that was followed by a crime wave that anyone with more brains than a garden slug could have predicted.
Now, the “Defund the Police” proponent is running for Mayor. Wednesday, while he was attending a campaign stop at a ribbon-cutting ceremony, four kids, estimated ages 6 to 12, jumped into his car and stole it in broad daylight at high noon.
Brown, who is running on a campaign platform he calls “Reimaging Public Safety,” seemed surprised, saying, "You don’t immediately think, ‘Oh, these kids are going to steal my car.’” Actually, intelligent people might think that, if they knew that some lunatics had slashed the police budget.
At least the voters of Atlanta don’t have to imagine the condition of public safety if Brown becomes Mayor. God just gave them a perfect illustration of it.
Few Americans have ranked climate change very high on the list of things to worry about
By Mike Huckabee
According to the Biden Administration, climate change is the #1 issue that the government must deal with, and they’re willing to spend $93 trillion of our grandkids’ money on a “Green New Deal” to try to stop it.
However, polls have long shown that few Americans rank climate change very high on their lists of things to worry about. And now, a new poll by the Competitive Enterprise Institute shows that while a majority say they are concerned about climate change, it doesn’t weigh heavily in their voting decisions and they aren’t willing to spend anywhere near what liberal Democrats want to spend on it.
When asked how much they would be willing to spend out of their own pockets to mitigate climate change, 35% said “zero”…not a single buck. Fifteen percent would spend between $1 and $10. Twelve percent would spend $41-$50, 14% would spend $91-$100, and only 1% would spend $1,000. Also, 53% would be somewhat or very unlikely to spend any money to replace their gas-powered car with an electric vehicle.
They’re in for sticker shock, since the price tag of the Green New Deal averages out to $600,000 per US household. I predict that it will be a cold day in July before anyone will voluntarily pay that.
Gas Money
By Mike Huckabee
If you’re planning a driving trip this Memorial Day weekend, better budget some extra money for gas. Triple A reports that the national average for a gallon of regular is now $3.035. That’s 17 cents higher than just last month and $1.12 more than this same time last year. In fact, it’s the highest gas price since 2014. Remember who was in the White House in 2014? That’s right: Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
And a note to all the liberal media outlets trying to claim that the steep rise in gas prices has nothing to do with Biden’s anti-fossil fuel policies and is simply a cyclical price rise because of the start of summer travel season: this same time last year – indeed, this same time every year since 2014 – was also the start of the summer travel season. What’s different now? Think hard…
A Reader Writes Back...
Thank God, I live in Texas. I pray that all the people moving here from other states leave their left wing insanity in the state they came from!
