Before getting started, if you didn't see our weekend commentary on Elon Musk's revelations about Twitter's collaboration with Democrats (both in and out of government) to make sure Biden won in 2020, and the related reading, here it is… https://www.mikehuckabee.com/latest-news?id=D984885B-4F96-47EF-A547-E10556A03B29 And I had plenty to say on my weekend TBN show about what the Democrats have done to change the "rules of engagement" to an outrageous degree and how it's our responsibility to fix that. With their new (albeit slim) majority, Republicans in Congress have got to get a handle on what's happening on a variety of fronts and put a stop to it before we lose it all. I'd say to them what Margaret Thatcher famously said to President George H. W. Bush: "Don't go all wobbly on me now!" Or as Alice Cooper famously said and still does, "No more Mr. Nice Guy." We have HAD ENOUGH...  Our whole system is at stake. "...We are living under an increasingly threatening police state under the Democrats and Joe Biden, and in fact what they are doing is so destructive to this society," said Mark Levin on Sunday. "I don't know if we can reverse course." He was speaking within the context of Republicans in Congress and the Senate cutting deals with Democrats. "The Democrat Party does not give a damn about the Bill of Rights, it does not give a damn about your liberty," he said. "In fact, it views you as an obstacle. That's why you are the deplorables, the semi-fascists." By now you know, thanks to new Twitter CEO Elon Musk, that officials at the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were conspiring with top executives at Twitter to affect the outcome of the 2020 election. There is no question they participated in this highly unconstitutional activity. The government can't use private companies as fronts to do its dirty work. And, in an update, Miranda Devine knows just how they were able to anticipate the publication of her Hunter Biden story and get in front of it by warning social media about the coming "Russian disinformation" Recall that they were "investigating" Trump attorney (and source) Rudy Giuliani on the ginned-up charge of a FARA violation that only recently was dropped; this gave them cover to spy on him and all his contacts, including her and even John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer repair technician with whom Hunter Biden had abandoned his laptop. Devine also notes, "The FBI agent who organized those weekly meetings with Big Tech was Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan, whose postgraduate thesis claimed that Russia interfered with the 2016 election to help former President Donald Trump." Chan is also a personal acquaintance of former FBI general counsel (and Russia Hoaxer) James Baker, who conveniently moved from there to a similar role at Twitter. Baker is also connected to some of the 51 former intel officials who signed that laughable "classic earmarks" letter. In between his jobs with the FBI and Twitter, Baker worked at ...(drum roll, please!)...the Clinton-connected Brookings Institution, writing for the Lawfare Blog, which is published by one of the ex-intel officials who SIGNED the "classic earmarks" letter. As Devine reports, six other signatories are linked to Lawfare. Clearly, while the FBI was maintaining that the laptop story was "Russian disinformation," they KNEW it was real. Much more on this tomorrow, but here's Devine's story in Saturday's NEW YORK POST. https://nypost.com/2022/12/04/fbi-warned-twitter-of-hunter-biden-hack-before-censoring-the-post/ Even (yes) the ACLU is on alert. Recall our commentary from a few days ago about the government gaining cooperation from Google through controversial "geofence" warrants and see that a piece at their website called "Surreal stingray secrecy: Uncovering the FBI's surveillance tech secrecy agreements" says "the FBI has refused to confirm or deny it has recent records about its practice of requiring local police to sign strict nondisclosure agreements prior to purchasing invasive cell phone tracking technology. But the FBI acknowledged imposing these NDAs [non-disclosure agreements] on local police years ago, and even recognized problems created by the practice. So what is the FBI trying to hide now? And do the feds really not appreciate the irony of refusing to confirm or deny the existence of secrecy agreements?" Important reading… Facebook has been involved, too. As the NEW YORK POST reported a month ago, a House GOP report (that 1,000+ page report they recently released) found that through "Operation Bronze Griffin," Facebook was giving the FBI anti-Republican tips. The story made reference to the revelation of a secret Facebook portal through which authorities could request the deletion of alleged "misinformation." (Aside: Speaking of Twitter working with Democrats, it seems to have been happening at the state level, too, with Arizona Governor-Elect (?) Katie Hobbs allegedly taking advantage of that relationship to silence her critics ahead of the election.) Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said on Sunday night in an interview with FOX NEWS' Trey Gowdy that James Baker was "the Michael Phelps of gold medal winning performances when it comes to election interference.' In case you didn't see the interview or could still use some help connecting the dots, this transcript will be of value: …………………... As I've said over the past few days, I don't want to hear one more word from this administration or its minions in the press about the need to suppress so-called "misinformation" or "disinformation." Just STOP IT. We're on to you, and you're just looking like idiots now. At the same time, though, some courts are actually going along with some of the invasiveness of this police state. House Democrats are now able to comb through six years of President Trump's tax returns. Also, as Levin said, "Since when do you appoint a special counsel to investigate somebody who's announced for President in the opposite party...?" He went on to point out the blatant partisan leanings of the person who is chosen to be the special counsel. If you read this newsletter, you know about those. "We've never seen this any time in our life," he said, outlining a number of other issues in which the police state has sunk its talons. "If this isn't a police state, then what the hell is? You're not safe online, your emails and your texts are not safe, your communications with your lawyer, they're not safe; they're unleashing 87,000 new IRS agents, the same IRS that went after conservatives before; they're trying to put an ex-president in prison, violating every standard and tradition we've ever had in this country..." He goes on; here's the whole monologue. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6316588702112 And pay attention now to the fallout on Elon Musk for revealing the truth. Even before he came out with the real story on Twitter's collaboration, the White House chillingly said the administration was "keeping a close eye on Twitter." And by that, they meant Elon's Twitter, not the old Twitter, which they didn't have to worry about. Of course, the left's default setting, when they can't handle the truth, is to ignore or suppress it. That's why it's no surprise that CNN's news page didn't even report the story on Saturday, in effect proving Musk's point about the collaboration between the media and the left. They should be ashamed, but, of course, they're not. Scott Adams, bestselling author and creator of the comic strip DILBERT, was outspoken about CNN's failure on his Saturday podcast, "Real Coffee with Scott Adams." I hesitate to link to it because of the extremely rough language, but just let it be said that Adams considers the new CEO of CNN, Chris Licht, to be the scumbag of all scumbags for promising a less political CNN and them utterly failing to keep his word. (Licht had said back in February of this year, when he took the job, that he was "a journalist at heart" and that "CNN is uniquely positioned to a beacon of meaningful, impactful journalism for the world." Hilarious!) Adams spared no words, believe me. Victor Davis Hanson spoke in more gentlemanly terms about the same thing and implicated not just CNN but most of so-called journalism. "In sum," he said, "there is no media. It has ceased to exist, and the public plods by assuming as true whatever the Pravda-like news outlets suppress and as false whatever they cover." Well, let's hope they do. https://amgreatness.com/2022/12/04/how-corrupt-is-a-corrupt-media/ Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson appeared with Maria Bartironmo on SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES to talk about the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which he said was "just part of a much larger story" about the censorship of conservatives. He and Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley have been looking into the foreign business dealings of the Biden family ever since Miranda Devine broke the story in October 2020. Sen. Kevin McCarthy, also on the show, said that Google and Facebook have also "become arms of the Democratic Party, arms of the Biden administration." Finally, what if we could get in the Way-Back Machine and find out what the world would've been like if the Hunter Biden story about foreign influence peddling hadn't been suppressed and Joe Biden had been defeated as President? We'll never know for sure, of course, but it's interesting to speculate. Stacey Lennox at PJ MEDIA has found at least five areas in which the world would surely be very different. …………………. RELATED: Hunter Biden has had nothing to say since Elon Musk's revelations about how social media protected him and his family. At the black-tie event Sunday to celebrate the Kennedy Center honorees, two reporters from the WASHINGTON EXAMINER asked him to comment on the Republicans' plans to investigate him and also revelations from Elon Musk about the suppression of the laptop story. Hunter just smiled and walked away. https://justthenews.com/events/hunter-biden-confronted-about-laptop-after-release-twitter-files You're currently a free subscriber to The Morning Edition.
