BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Psalm 104:24 KJV
Bad Weather Alert: Stay Safe
By Mike Huckabee
Those of you in the South, from Texas to Florida, please keep an eye on the weather for the next few days. Forecasters are predicting strong storms with a possibility of damaging hail and tornadoes. Please take all precautions, stay safe, and remember to keep your animals safe, too.
51st State Update
By Mike Huckabee
On party lines, House Democrats passed their bill to make DC the 51st state, and let us hope that, like so many politicians who end up in the Senate, it will remain there until it dies of old age.
Naturally, supporters of the DC statehood campaign railed that the only reason anyone would oppose it is racism. This is their fallback excuse for opposition to all of their terrible ideas. They refuse to entertain the validity of the argument that it's a blatantly unconstitutional, naked power grab that would give the people who profit most from the federal Treasury and federal power an even bigger voice in how those things are handled.
But while many opponents are pointing to the clear Constitutional ban on DC statehood, very few have cited the history and the reasoning behind why the Founders specifically created the District of Columbia and put it under the control of the federal government instead of placing the seat of the US government in any state. So let's give thanks to Darlene Click at the Victory Girls blog for digging up that fascinating story and offering a history lesson that the left would prefer nobody learn in schools – along with a lot of other actual American history they don't want kids to learn in schools.

Earth Day: President Vows To Cut Carbon Emissions
By Mike Huckabee
Thursday, in an Earth Day virtual summit, President Biden vowed to cut US carbon emissions in half by the year 2030. I don't think he'll still be in office then, but it does seem like he's been there for ten years already.
In an interview with Fox News, a spokesman for the Heritage Foundation said their analysis of Biden's plan found it very similar to what's already been tried in Germany and California, with negative results (California has the highest gas prices and costs of living in the US, plus regular power shortages.) They estimate that it would cost far more jobs than the number of "green jobs" created. It would replace reliable energy sources such as natural gas with unreliable sources such as wind (frozen wind turbines were what caused Texas to suffer a blackout during a recent Arctic cold snap.) It would raise energy costs by about 30%, not just for consumers but for businesses that use energy, which is all of them, so that would increase costs across the board. American families would pay thousands of dollars more per year for energy and consumer goods.
At the link, Rick Moran at PJ Media examines Biden's words and his "never mind the price, it's an emergency, but it will pay for itself in the long run" rhetoric (sounds like he's selling aluminum siding.) He also compares it to previous, very similar plans, warnings and promises.
I find it interesting that Democrats keep telling us that we need to be more like Europe. Well, France is in Europe, and they get over 70% of their reliable energy that doesn't create greenhouse gases from nuclear power plants. There are 56 in France alone. Try building a new one here and see what happens.
Final postscript to Earth Day 2021: Remembering all the doomsday predictions from previous Earth Days and comparing them to reality.
2020 Arizona Vote Audit
By Mike Huckabee
Voting equipment and more than 2 million ballots have been delivered to a facility in Maricopa County, Arizona, for an audit of the 2020 vote, in which Biden was the first Democrat presidential candidate to win in decades. Workers from four audit firms will conduct the audit, which will be streamed live for public viewing on One America News Network and online at www.azaudit.org.
Despite that transparency, some officials tried to resist subpoenas for the ballots from the state Senate, but were overruled by a judge. The Democrat secretary of state claimed the audit will be "biased," but didn't elaborate on how.
Personally, I don't understand all this resistance to examining ballots and voting machines. The same people who've assured us that it's tantamount to treason even to voice doubt about the results of the 2020 election are now telling us we can't trust an audit of the ballots that's taking place right in front of our eyes. Surely they know it was the most secure, trustworthy election in American history! So why not drop all the objections and show those doubters how wrong they are, so we can all move on?
Georgia Mom Goes Viral
By Mike Huckabee
Gwinnett County, Georgia, mom Courtney Ann Taylor has gone viral and become a national celebrity overnight thanks to a video of her at a Board of Education meeting, ripping school officials for continuing to force facemasks onto children, despite mounting evidence that the coronavirus barely affects kids and masks on small children do more harm than good.
Click the link to watch that must-see video and read more about this tiger mom. And then, before you quote her and have someone sneer, "But the science" at you, read this:
It's an interview with a Stanford University medical professor who agrees that masks on children do more harm than good, and he explains the reasons why, from the way they interfere with developmental needs of children to the fact that kids usually don't even wear them properly.
31 Days And Counting
By Mike Huckabee
Thursday, Republicans ripped Vice President Kamala Harris for going 30 days after being put in charge of overseeing the disaster created at the border by President Biden without visiting the border or even holding a press conference.
This makes it 31 days, but the good news is, she's finally leaving DC today. The bad news: she's going to New Hampshire.
Someone please tell her that thousands of illegal migrants are not streaming across the Massachusetts border into Nashua.
A Reader Writes Back...
At this time of national strife I am reminded of the courageous work you did, as Governor, equalizing the sentencing of black Arkansans to correspond to the sentencing of whites. I am not aware of any comparable effort elsewhere in the nation. I wish that your strength on that issue was better known.
I was glad to have it confirmed that Officer Sicknick's death was likely natural, and not a consequence of the previous day's riot. That said, I have too much respect for those who daily put themselves at risk to keep the peace in our cities and Capitol building to feel anything but disgust for those who would blast him in the face with bear spray.

Even the U.S. POST OFFICE spies on Americans
By Mike Huckabee
Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night stays the United States Postal Service from the swift completion of its appointed task to monitor the social media of American citizens.
That's not exactly the motto of the USPS, but we've just learned that it might as well be. Your snail mail (maybe even your ballot) might be delivered weeks late or end up in a dumpster in Poughkeepsie, but the Post Office knows what you've been saying on Twitter and Facebook and, if they find it "inflammatory," are forwarding it to the appropriate agencies . This is yet another example of Big Tech's cozy relationship with the current administration.
Remember when the date of March 20 was in the news as a possible right-wing "domestic terrorism" follow-up to the January 6 Capitol Hill breach? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was using reports of social media activity surrounding this date to justify keeping thousands of National Guard troops on duty and the fencing with razor wire around Capitol Hill. Believe it or not, those reports came not from the FBI or the National Security Agency but from a special police force within our own U.S. Postal Service, called the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS).
The USPIS, which has about 1,200 members, is the oldest continually-operating federal law enforcement agency in our country, with the stated goal of protecting the postal service, its employees and its infrastructure. Their jurisdiction is supposed to be limited to crimes that affect the use of the mail, the postal service or postal employees.
But they've expanded operations and are now apparently in the surveillance (SPYING) business. These days, who isn't?
The POST MILLENNIAL reported about the interception of communications regarding March 20, saying, "The U.S. Postal Service's law enforcement arm is monitoring the social media activity of Americans to share 'inflammatory' content across government agencies. They quoted from this government bulletin: 'Analysts with the USPIS Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored significant activity regarding planned protests occurring internationally and domestically on March 20, 2021. Locations and times have been identified for these protests, which are being distributed online across multiple social media platforms, to include right-wing leaning Parler and Telegram accounts. Mar 20 was set for the World Wide Rally for Freedom and Democracy, an umbrella protest involving many anti-government groups and movements."
As they reported, the bulletin also included screen shots of people ostensibly planning protests on social media, including Parler and Facebook. (I would add that Parler, said to have a right-wing user base, was hardly used to plan the Capitol Hill breach, while Facebook and Instagram were.) The bulletin justified its surveillance by suggesting that "Parler users have commented about their intent to use the rallies to engage in violence."
Gosh, that sounds pretty serious. But at the same time, the report included this disclaimer: "[NO] INTELLIGENCE IS AVAILABLE TO SUGGEST THE LEGITIMACY OF THESE THREATS." (Emphasis mine.) Incidentally, did any sort of violent protest by Trump supporters take place on March 20? NO.
"ICOP analysts are currently monitoring these social media channels for any potential threats stemming from the scheduled protests and will disseminate intelligence updates as needed," the bulletin said.
In other words, the USPS defends their monitoring of social media by saying there was activity suggesting protests by "anti-government" groups would happen on March 20, even though they had no intelligence to support that such threats were even real. Doesn't matter, though; they'll continue monitoring for potential threats!
The USPS, in response to questions about this program, responded with typical bureaucratic boilerplate blah-blah: "The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is the primary law enforcement, crime prevention, and security arm of the U.S. Postal Service. The Internet Covert Operations Program is a function within the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which assesses threats to the U.S. Postal Service employees and its infrastructure by monitoring publicly available open source information."
That answers none of our questions. So why is the Post Office monitoring social media posts? Unless mail delivery is going to impacted by a rally on Capitol Hill –- which seems unlikely, considering these are quite common –- this work doesn't appear to be within their jurisdiction.
Geoffrey Stone, who has investigated the National Security Agency's surveillance program, has said he doesn't think "the Postal Service has the degree of sophistication that you would want if you were dealing with national security issues of this sort." He wondered why some other federal agency wasn't carrying out this mission. "There are so many other federal agencies that could do this," he said, "I don't understand why the Post Office would be doing it. There is no need...you've got FBI, Homeland Security and so on, so...I don't understand why the government would go to the Postal Service for examining the internet for security issues."
And, again, monitoring Americans seems beyond the scope of their assigned duties. Rachel Levinson-Waldman, who works at the Brennan Center for Justice, questioned this, too. "Based on the very minimal information that's available online," she said, "it appears that [iCOP] is meant to root out misuse of the postal service by online actors, which doesn't seem to encompass what's going on here. It's not at all clear why their mandate would include monitoring of social media that's unrelated to use of the postal system."
She added that if this is "lawfully protected" speech, even the kind we might think is objectionable, then monitoring it raises "serious constitutional concerns."
It appears that even when we find platforms such as Parler that don't ban us outright for perfectly legitimate speech about vaccines, masks, the election and other largely forbidden topics, we will still be monitored (SPIED ON) by the government. I wish I could tell you more about how, specifically, the Post Office is coordinating with Big Tech to conduct this monitoring; when they started doing it; or if the Internet Covert Operations Program continues its undercover work. Our guess is that it does –- why should the Biden administration stop spying on "insurrectionist" Trump supporters? –- but those details continue to elude.
THE GATEWAY PUNDIT reported on this as well , and they believe the Post Office developed their list of conservatives to spy on from a list of "Build The Wall" donors they obtained a few days before the 2020 Republican Convention. They can't prove it, but they offer circumstantial evidence. And if you think Post Office cops aren't as rough as regular cops, check out how a team of 15 USPIS officers conducted the arrest of Trump supporter and wheelchair-bound triple-amputee war hero Brian Kolfage.

FBI: Congressional Baseball Shooter Wanted "Suicide By Cop"
By Mike Huckabee
Just what Americans need: one more reason to lose respect for the FBI. It's been revealed that when a deranged leftist opened fire on Republicans during a Congressional baseball game practice, nearly killing Rep. Steve Scalise, the FBI ruled that his motivation was "suicide by cop." Yes, it wasn't a politically-motivated hate crime. He just wanted the police to shoot him.
Republican Rep. Brad Westrup of Ohio revealed that stunning ruling in a hearing this week, adding that even FBI agents who investigated disagreed with it. Westrup said he was there that day: "We know from [the shooter's] social media posts that he hated Republicans and that he hated President Trump. He loved Bernie Sanders and he held left-wing beliefs. We know he carried in his pocket that day a target list with names of Republican congressmen…that included their physical descriptions." He noted that the shooter was carrying 136 rounds, when it only takes one shot at the cops to get them to kill you.
Westrup said the shooter may have believed he could change the balance of power in the House by killing 20 or 30 Republican members, which would mean this was what a real attempted insurrection would look like. Westrup wants an investigation into why top FBI officials ignored the facts and their own agents to arrive at such a preposterous conclusion.
And maybe he'll get one, since even some Democrats said they supported him. Calling that deliberate, planned assault "suicide by cop" is like claiming that the 9/11 hijackers committed a botched landing.
While we're on the subject of sweeping armed assaults on Republicans under the rug, Tucker Carlson is getting flak from the left for saying that the Capitol police officer who fatally shot unarmed Republican protester Ashli Babbitt should be held to the same scrutiny as Derek Chavin, instead of having his name kept secret and his job protected. I'm hearing a lot of outrage from the left, but not a lot of rational arguments for why he's wrong.
The 51st State
By Mike Huckabee
Yesterday, on a 216-208 vote, House Democrats voted to make the District of Columbia the 51st state . It's wrapped in a lot of rhetoric about taxation without representation (Democrats oppose that?), but it's really about padding Congress with two more Democrat Senators and at least one more guaranteed House seat.
You can read more about it at Townhall.com, where Spencer Brown gives this naked power grab the respect it deserves. Unless Democrats can eliminate the Senate filibuster, I assume this is as far as it will go. If they do accomplish that, who knows? Although Brown points out that this is expressly forbidden by the Constitution, so they're trying to amend the Constitution with a party-line vote in Congress. One hopes that even Chief Justice Roberts would recognize that as a constitutional no-no.

Democratic Leadership
By Mike Huckabee
If you're attempting to make any logical sense out of the current Democratic "leadership" of America, try to wrap your head around this :
It's an unconstitutional imposition of government on the right of physicians to practice medicine when states bar them from giving unproven drugs and hormones or irreversible body-altering surgery to minors who think they're transgender. But it's perfectly okay for President Biden to force religious hospitals and medical practitioners to perform those exact same procedures against their consciences and their Hippocratic Oath.

Biden Gets The "Armenian Genocide" Right
By Mike Huckabee
For those who think I'm only critical of President Biden, please note that when he gets something right, I acknowledge it. And here's an example : after a century, Biden will reportedly risk the wrath of Turkey's dictator by calling the Ottoman Turks' murder of 1.5 million Christian Armenians the "Armenian genocide."
I hope it won't take another hundred years before some people in Washington have the spine to call other genocides by their correct name as well.
