DAILY BIBLE VERSE
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
Letter from father of Jan. 6 "detainee" reflects the injustice
By Mike Huckabee
Nancy Pelosi's embarrassingly political "January 6 commission" is underway as planned. (Was there ever any doubt that she wouldn't go through with this carefully staged farce and take great delight in it?) Her handpicked "commission" purports to "find the truth," but her search for truth is like looking for your misplaced glasses way over in the corner of another room because the light is better in there. Where she's looking, she's guaranteed to miss a big part of the truth, and that is on purpose. But we do get to see Adam Schiff cry.
Those who really want the truth surrounding the Capitol breach –- and Pelosi's role in letting it happen –- are going to be kept in the dark.
There's a more personal story, too, that this charade is going to miss. Part of it was reflected in a letter we ran a couple of days ago from retired Army staff sergeant Joe Biggs, a man who was arrested after peaceably entering the Capitol Building and who, after three months, is still being held without bail in a Florida jail in what he describes as extremely poor conditions. Then, yesterday, we received a similar letter from a reader of this newsletter, whose son is also one of those incarcerated, this one in Washington, DC. What this father told us will touch your heart...
Dear Gov. Huckabee:
My son Alan Byerly is in DC Correctional. Did not enter Capitol Building, but had a confrontation with a reporter and policemen. But the charges are much greater [than what] was done. I do not know exactly what happened, because phones being monitored in jail.
Most Jan. 6th folks are somewhere else; there are only two in this jail. When they first arrived, the population (mostly black) thought they were pedophiles, and that is very dangerous, to be one in jail (where did they get that idea?). Anyway, Alan spoke up the next day and told them who they were, and things simmered down, although most were not happy about them being Trump supporters. He has not had a bail hearing in DC yet and expects that bail will be denied.
Greg Kelly on 7/22/21 reported on the mistreatment of Jan. 6 people –- Alan was mentioned in that list of folks he read out. I guess if you are a Democrat, you can burn a city or burn a federal building with agents inside; you may get arrested but will be out the next day without bail.
Sorry I had to vent. Since Alan was saved, he is not the same as he was...What he did was wrong, and he's sorry for what he did. Thank you for the opportunity to express my frustration. Good bless you and yours.
………………
We looked for the Greg Kelly report and found a write-up on it by THE GATEWAY PUNDIT. Kelly read out the names and showed pictures of all who have been arrested and held in "pretrial detention" without bail. Their trials might not even begin till next year, so these detainees (Kelly's apt term was "political prisoners") could be spending 23 hours out of every 24 in a small cell, even denied private conversations with their attorneys, until 2022. Unbelievable.
As Kelly reported, over 500 Americans were arrested, and dozens have spent the past six months in solitary confinement, some of them for simply walking into an unsecured building, unaware that there was violence going on in another area. (Alan apparently didn't even go inside; we still don't know the details of his confrontation outside.)
And now, as part of the politics surrounding this "commission," everyone who even peripherally took part has been labeled a domestic terrorist and white supremacist, though no one was armed and race had nothing to do with it. The crackdown is happening step-by-step; for example, in Florida, the agriculture commissioner, Democrat Nikki Fried, has moved to suspend the concealed-carry licenses of 22 people who were charged in connection to the Capitol breach. In her words, "The deeply disturbing events that occurred at our nation's Capitol on January 6 were sedition, treason, and domestic terrorism –- and those individuals involved in the insurrection must be held accountable for attempting to subvert our democratic process."
That's odd; I thought our democratic process included such basic concepts as "innocent until proven guilty."
But never mind the Constitution –- this is politics, Fried blamed Trump, and she happens to be one of the top two candidates for the Democrat nomination for Florida governor, trying to unseat Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. She did this to rally the Democrats...around herself. And since when do Democrats care about the constitutional rights of Trump supporters?
I've made my disapproval of what happened at the Capitol crystal clear. It was a stupid stunt that led to the death of an unarmed woman and caused tremendous, lasting political damage to the conservative cause. (That's true even if the FBI had a role in encouraging it, which is another aspect of this story that won't be addressed by Pelosi's "commission.") The comments by Fried, above, illustrate just how it played right into the hands of Democrats itching to tar Trump and his supporters as insurrectionists.
Whenever possible, even when it doesn't make sense, Trump support will be linked by Democrats with race and white supremacy. It doesn't matter that they made it up. Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University Eddie Glaude, Jr., appeared on MSNBC to respond to what he'd heard on Day 1 of Nancy's "commission," saying how "moved" he was by the "powerful testimony." He said that "this is in some ways a white mob arguing for a white nation."
If you're mystified as to where he got this idea, I'll try to explain. Those who are contesting the election process are doing so in black-majority cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta. So if you challenge the results in those places, it means you are against black people. Um, got that?
He says that, given our nation's history of inequality, a third of America is "still in the soil of our American republic. It has not been excavated in a way to to remove the poison of it." That's right, we, as conservative Trump supporters, are poisoned with racism. The only solution: excavation, removal.
"And Donald Trump," he said, "give Donald Trump credit for one thing. Donald Trump recognized that when he came down the escalator."
This is all political theater at its worst. Sadly, "detainees" such as Joe and Alan are being used as props. Yes, some of them were confrontational and might deserve to be charged with something, though not held without bail for months on end. Yet all have been branded domestic terrorists and white supremacists when all they might have done was walk peacefully into our nation's Capitol –- a public building –- take a selfie and ask where the restroom was.
Please pray for Alan's father, as he watches helplessly while his son is caught in what is obviously a two-tiered justice system.

Update On Simone Biles
By Mike Huckabee
The Olympic gymnast who was expected to dominate the Tokyo Games pulled out of all team events and has now dropped out of individual events as well and will not defend her title.
Without her, the US women's gym team lost the gold for the first time in 13 years, coming in second to Russia.
Ms Biles explained that she was not physically injured, but was feeling too emotionally shaky to go on. She said, "Once I came out here (to compete), I was like, 'No, mental is not there so I just need to let the girls do it and focus on myself.'"
Her last-minute withdrawal drew harsh criticism from some analysts, who accused her of being self-centered and said if she couldn't compete, she should have let someone else take her place rather than leaving her team in the lurch. Kylee Zempel at the Federalist took that view.
https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/27/theres-no-i-in-team-but-there-is-in-simone-biles/
Others took Biles' side, noting that she had been one of former team doctor Larry Nassar's sexual assault victims, and people shouldn't judge her if they don't know what she's going through.
One of the best commentaries was from radio host Mark Davis, who didn't rebuke Ms Biles but considered what this says about how attitudes have softened and how the value of exhibiting mental toughness when the going gets tough is slipping away.
As for me, I will pray for Ms Biles to achieve her peace, and also root for the US Women's Team to call on their mental toughness to succeed without her.

Leftist idiots blow whistle on GOP for asking questions
By Mike Huckabee
Four Republican members of Congress --- Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar --- walked to the doorstep of the Department of "Justice" headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue at midday Tuesday to express their concerns about treatment of those jailed for participating in the Capitol Hill "breach" on January 6. They had serious unanswered questions for Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The doors of the DOJ building were closed to them. The members of Congress were not allowed inside.
But guess what happened? Some leftist protesters showed up who seemed to take their inspiration from January 6th. No doubt the only reason they didn't "breach" the DOJ headquarters themselves is that the doors had been shut to keep out the Republicans. Would those leftist protesters have been tossed into sweaty jail cells and held without bail for three months (and counting)? I think we know the answer to that question.
It was only a matter of minutes before the four Republicans speaking outside the entrance were swarmed by leftist protesters, one of them incessantly blowing a shrill whistle to keep them from being heard from their podium.
The Right Side Broadcasting Network aired their press conference live, not knowing, of course, what it was going to turn into. So now we can see from their recording the lengths to which intolerant, idiotic leftist protesters will go to shut down attempts at reasoned discussion. Video starts about 30 minutes before the press conference begins, but this time is used by reporter Liz Willis to read the letter to AG Garland and give some background, detailing some truly horrific allegations of beatings and denial of sleep and medical care.
Note: their video was removed from YouTube, but as far as we know, you'll still be able to see it in its entirety here. If sometime between this writing and your attempted viewing it has been taken down, C-Span should have it.
As soon as Greene took to the podium and started asking substantive questions, the loud, piercing whistle started, and it never let up. "We're here standing up for due process," Gohmert said as the whistle shrieked nonstop. Gohmert is a former defense attorney and Texas district judge, so fighting for due process and other basic civil rights has been an integral part of his career. He said that when he was a judge, he used to make unannounced visits to jails to make sure the conditions weren't abusive.
Matt Gaetz spoke through the whistle as well, pointing out that Antifa "set fire to this country for months" when law enforcement didn't seem to be concerned about that.
Rep. Gosar (yes, through the interminable whistle) called for all 1400 hours of security tapes from that day at the Capitol Building to be released and for all those taken into custody to have their due process rights respected.
Leftist protesters edged closer and started circling, to the concern of staffers and security personnel. To interrupt the press conference, they simply invaded, walking right up to the podium area and causing participants to scatter.
I hope you will listen through the headache-inducing whistle; they used this appalling tactic it to try to keep anyone from hearing. As it went on, they also used drums, horns and other instruments along with the whistle to prevent the members of Congress from speaking. They did manage to speak for about 15 minutes, mostly to stress that they were there to get answers concerning January 6.
As THE EPOCH TIMES has reported, "According to numerous reports, January 6 inmates have been beaten, held in solitary confinement, and denied access to evidence about their own cases." The attorney general should provide thorough answers to questions on this, but he has responded with silence for months.
"To the guy who's blowing the whistle, we are not deterred," Taylor Greene finally said. They were there to ask questions, she said. It was at that point that the leftists stormed the podium and created a situation that made them have to leave. Cars were blocking traffic, and a loud band with crashing cymbals played as well.
As it turned out, the loud whistle-blower interrupting the speeches was standing directly behind the reporter and refused to stop when he was asked. She said after the event that her ears were still ringing. That's "the intolerant left," she said. "You're being censored if you're a conservative," she said.
I would encourage you to watch the entire video, as there are some great comments from onlookers after the event ended. "These savages, they belong in jail," said one onlooker after the speakers dispersed. She called for an investigation of what Nancy Pelosi knew about plans for the Capitol breach before it happened.
Another bystander called for interested persons to contact their representatives for an appointment to tour jail facilities where detainees were being held. She said that in one facility, the temperature had reached 114 degrees. We would add that during the winter it was freezing --- that's how long these people have been detained! There have been reports of beatings, and of at least one detainee losing an eye in one.
THE EPOCH TIMES has a "premium" report of today's event.
On the same day this happened, the hearings called for by Speaker Nancy Pelosi into the events of January 6 began, with an extremely dramatic depiction of what happened from the point of view of the Capitol Hill police. Republican committee member Adam Kinzinger of Illinois got all choked up. California Rep. Adam Schiff also appeared to weep at one point (right), and a staff member was handing out Kleenex. Tucker Carlson had a field day with this on Tuesday night.
Here are more highlights –- or perhaps I should say lowlights.
We'll have more on this as it unfolds. If only it could be a nonpartisan attempt at fact-finding, but it won't be. Recall that Pelosi rejected two of the Republican choices for committee members (a first), Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana. Pelosi says the "bipartisan" panel "will pursue the truth," but I have no confidence that it will do so, as that is not its purpose
A real investigation would do what that bystander at DOJ headquarters suggested: find out what Pelosi herself knew and why she didn't order even the barest security, when President Trump had offered her the National Guard and essentially anything she wanted. We also deserve to know more about the killing of Ashli Babbitt, but what do you think are the odds of that?

Kamala Harris: take another look as Biden falters
By Mike Huckabee
"So when I was a young girl, Uncle Sherman taught me to play chess. He said, 'You need to know, life is like that chessboard. There gonna be all kinds of players on that board. They'll have all kinds of different moves. You have to think strategically. You have to learn to think about what that tenth move will be before you make that first move. And if you're smart,' he taught me, 'that pawn can take out that king."
--- Kamala Harris, July 2019
With President Biden in the news because of the horrendous, incomprehensible performance he gave at a townhall meeting on Wednesday, it seems like a good idea to take another look at the person who is positioned on that chess board to take his place. We've known her lately as someone who seems in over her head, who is given huge areas of responsibility and then ducks them, who giggles and cackles uncontrollably and inappropriately. Who is she, really? How did she get to this position on the chess board, and what does it mean for the country if (when) she "takes out the king"?
On October 14, 2020, Trevor Loudon at THE EPOCH TIMES had a detailed article about her background, and it seems like a good time to revisit that.
Loudon, an author, filmmaker and public speaker from New Zealand, wrote the book "ENEMIES WITHIN: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress," and also filmed the 2016 documentary ENEMIES WITHIN. Here's a trailer from that movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMQQDQhipYg
Of course, we knew Kamala was raised around radical leftists; her father was an professor in the Economics Department at Stanford University, where he used to say he was too far left even for them, and her mother was a longtime political activist, first in India and later in California. "Uncle Sherman" was an activist lawyer. Recall that Kamala, on the campaign trail, spoke of being wheeled through protest marches in a stroller, calling for "Fweeedom!!" (We don't know if THAT story is true, but we do know for certain that her parents and their circle of acquaintances were radical left activists.
But there's much more here, about specific organizations, their heroes (such as Fidel Castro and Che Guevara), and their ultimate aims. RedState has a good summary, which also first appeared in October 2020, of the information turned up by Loudon. (All of it was available to the curious BEFORE the election, even though the mainstream media seem to have put it in the same category as Hunter Biden's laptop and pretended it didn't exist.)
The RedState piece was written by retired U.S. Navy Capt. Joseph R. John, who's formerly with the FBI is currently chairman of the Combat Veterans for Congress PAC.
https://www.combatveteransforcongress.org
It's not disputed that Harris got into politics after having an affair with then-California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, Jr., who was 60 and married at the time. We know he guided her fledgling political career, which led to her being elected attorney general of California. But aside from that, I wonder how many know that when Brown ran successfully for mayor of San Francisco, he strongly endorsed Marxism and was, in turn, endorsed by the Communist Party USA. In the RedState article it states, "Willie Brown is widely regarded as one of the Chinese Communist Party's best friends in the San Francisco Bay area."
I don't want anyone to be tarred with guilt by association. For example, Van Jones is mentioned in Loudon's piece and is perhaps overzealously described as a Communist, but the fact that I count him among my friends --- a brother in Christ who has been a guest on my TV show --- should never convince anyone that I share his views on politics or economics. He might be far to the left on those issues, but if Communists are atheists, he isn't either of those things.
That said, Kamala Harris has been steeped in radicalism her whole life through her closest connections. (Imagine if a conservative candidate and his family and friends had associated exclusively with John Birchers and such.) Read on to learn about the Chinese Communist ties of Kamala's husband Doug Emhoff and also of her younger sister Maya, whose close associate is one of Kamala's major financial sponsors, the wealthy leftist Steve Phillips. (How is it that so many leftist, even Marxist, men marry very wealthy women?)
If Harris had been appointed to a federal position that required confirmation, Loudon's article postulates, she would not have passed the background check because of her 40 years of close ties with Marxists, Communists, Maoists and Communist China. But as an elected official, she is not subject to the security clearance process. (I would add that this observation applied to Barack Obama as well.) As the article states, "Harris would never have been approved for acceptance to any of the five military service academies, been appointed to a U.S. government sub-cabinet position, or would have been approved to fill a sensitive position for a high-security defense contractor. Yet if Joe Biden were elected, Harris would be a heartbeat away from the President."
The article goes on to cite not only Harris' ties to the Communist Chinese, but Hunter Biden's business dealings there. (Remember –- this came out BEFORE the election, but only conservative media were focusing on it.) As RedState says, "If the American voters read the background information [in Trevor Loudon's article] about Kamala Harris, they would never support her election as Vice President of the United States. Joe Biden...will continue to decline in cerebral awareness; he will never be able to fill out a four-year term of office. If Biden is elected, the Socialists, Marxists and Communists who control Kamala Harris are planning to enact provisions of the 25th Amendment in order to remove Joe Biden from office, so Harris can become the first Communist President of the United States."
Obviously, Bernie Sanders, as a Democratic Socialist, wouldn't have been able to win the general election, but "moderate" (ha) Joe Biden, with a female and black running mate to check a couple of boxes, had a much better chance. So that's how Kamala's chess piece ended up where it did on the board. The moves started much earlier.

A New Biden Administration Plan For Immigration
By Mike Huckabee
Tuesday, the Biden Administration released a 21-point plan for processing asylum seekers more quickly.
It would allow some to bypass immigration courts, which have a 1.2 million-case backlog, and let their cases be decided by asylum officers. (FYI: the courts would be backlogged even worse if Biden would let immigration authorities schedule court dates or if those who did have them were actually showing up for them.)
They claim the plan would also promptly deport those who don't qualify (question: would there be any of those under Biden?) There's a lot of nice talk, like, "We will always be a nation of borders, and we will enforce our immigration laws in a way that is fair and just," but is that just camouflage to hide the devil in the details?
Color me skeptical, considering that the White House statement declared that "asylum and other legal migration pathways should remain available to those seeking protection."
Do you know who's currently seeking protection from deadly threats by a genuinely oppressive government? Cubans.

Two-Tiered Justice
By Mike Huckabee
I find it hard to believe that America has such a shortage of criminals that the FBI has to go out and manufacture them. But that seems to be the case, considering that the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is starting to smell like an entrapment scheme that might not have existed if FBI undercover agents hadn't lured people into it. And now, another example:
A now-former DEA agent lost his job and is facing up to 15 years in prison for his alleged part in the January 6th Capitol violence. But he told Tucker Carlson on Fox News that he only came to Washington because an FBI informant invited him there. He says he brought his sidearm and stood outside with the informant because he thought he had been invited to help keep the peace and protect the public.
He's now accused of breaking 40 US Code 5104. That's what? Brace yourself: it makes it a felony to "step on or climb on any statue, seat, wall, fountain or other architectural feature or any tree, shrub, plant, or turf" on the Capitol grounds.
So this man who served his country for decades has lost his job and is facing up to 15 years in prison, not for taking part in a riot inside the Capitol but for standing outside on the grass. Meanwhile, leftist anarchists who actually did climb on public monuments, topple them, smash them and set them on fire are being released with no charges filed.
It should outrage every American to see such corruption of the legal system usher in the kind of two-tiered "justice" we used to see only in banana republics. It's especially infuriating to see the media covering it up to protect the Biden Administration after railing for four years that Trump was "shredding the Constitution" without giving any concrete examples of how he was allegedly doing that.
Glenn Greenwald has more on the FBI creating terrorist plots, and how this isn't really new.
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/fbi-using-the-same-fear-tactic-from
Byron York has some things to say about Nancy Pelosi's bias in picking members of her committee to "investigate" the Capitol violence.
And leave it to the satire site the Babylon Bee to summarize the FBI's actions perfectly (aside from this newsletter, about the only outlet left that's still interested in jokes that are funny because they're true):

President Donald J. Trump Statements~ August 1st Update
Statements by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
 Donald J. Trump August 1st, 2021 The New York Times, and others, always insert a clause into their stories, "WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that the election was decided fraudulently." As usual, this is FAKE NEWS. There is massive and unconditional evidence that the election was shattered with fraud and irregularities at a level that our Country has never seen before. Much of it is already public, and a great deal more is coming out in the very near future. Every time you read a statement that there is "no evidence of election fraud," about the 2020 election scam, just attribute that statement to a crooked and collusive media (they work closely together with the Radical Left Democrats) that will do anything to hide the real facts of this election fiasco. After seeing the irrefutable evidence from numerous states, others are talking about doing deep forensic audits. This election was a scam, and the Lamestream Media is doing everything in their power not to allow the people to see or read about what really took place. We no longer have a free and open media (they don't cover the truth), but the word is getting out stronger than ever before. Even the Justice Department has no interest in the crooked and corrupt 2020 Presidential Election. They are only interested in hurting those who want to reveal how totally dishonest it was. The Justice Department should be looking at the people who rigged the election, not the Patriots of our Country who are seeking to find how our Nation was defrauded. We must also look to the future and fight for State Legislatures to reform their elections so that this will NEVER happen again. In the end, truth will WIN! Contribute to Save America and DonaldJTrump.com in order to keep continuing this fight.
Donald J. Trump July 31st, 2021 President Donald J. Trump Affiliated Political Committees Announce Nearly $82 Million Raised in Jan 1-June 30, 2021, Report President Donald J. Trump announced today his affiliated political committees raised nearly $82 Million during the period between January 1st and June 30th, 2021, from 3.2 million contributions. The committees have approximately $102 Million cash on hand.
Donald J. Trump July 31st, 2021 The corrupt and highly partisan House Democrats who run the House Oversight Committee yesterday released documents—including court filings dealing with the rigged election of 2020—that they dishonestly described as attempting to overturn the election.
In fact, it is just the opposite. The documents were meant to uphold the integrity and honesty of elections and the sanctity of our vote. The American People want, and demand, that the President of the United States, its chief law enforcement officer in the country, stand with them to fight for Election Integrity and to investigate attempts to undermine our nation. Our country has just suffered an incredibly corrupt Presidential Election, and it is time for Congress and others to investigate how such corruption was allowed to take place rather than investigating those that are exposing this massive fraud on the American People.
We are up against the FAKE NEWS media, their Democrat Partners, and Big Tech who all want to see us FAIL. We need to do whatever it takes to get the TRUTH out. Thank you,
