Sarah Huckabee’s answer to Joe Biden – who has served the Executive Branch for ten years – was to remind Republicans that farming and worshipping Jesus – made America Great&Free – and not Crazy Wokism! To understand this very surreal rebuttal, I take you back to the truth, if Michael Huckabee had not played hard to get, then, he would have been the Vice President, and not Biden. Obama would not have been President – or Donald Trump! Of course this is the assessment of Sarah’s Dad – after all these years. How much does he hate Crazy Trump – and Sarah?
The President of the United States – masterfully destroyed what was left of the Republican Center. The Speaker of the House – saw it coming! Did he understand Greene’s white balloon stunt was aimed at making Congress look like the next Republican Convention where – The Female Savior is chosen?
Wooing the Evangelical Vote – IS WEIRD!
When I grew up, Republicans and Democrats lauded the Peaceful Jesus. Most of the fathers on my block fought the Japs and Nazis – and were tired of fighting! Not so…THE REPUBLICAN ELECTION DENIERS AND INSURECYIONISTS! It didn’t take long for the Rightful President of the United States to get them all riled up – and acting like wild and outraged primates! Is Marjorie wearing – real fur? What a great painting that pic would make, in the style of the Dutch Masters. Then, I noticed the ornate door./ Is that the same door armed men put a barricade up against – then drew their automatic handguns? How many Americans thought something was going terribly wrong, then held their breath – and counted bullets? Did these men have – enough? Did the January 6th. Committee – identify these men? Why would they not? Many evangelical suggested these angry rioters – were ANTIFA – and white Christian would never act like this.
Que the white cartoon balloon coming out Greene’s mouth as she screams
“LIAR!”
Did you see McCarthy cringe and close his eyes, he getting a clear picture of what the Money Shot will be today?. There they are, captured in American History – forever – they still hot to trot! It ain’t over to the fat lady sings.
Since that Evil Day, that will go down in infamy, how many of my readers, and Americans, have read on social media the pledge many fake patriots made, that they are willing to use guns to protect America from THE LIARS? Did you see Paul Pelosi? There was some talk about police violence against Black Folks. Many Americans asked;
“Would those armed men have opened fire – if the rioters were black members of Antifa?”
Is that guy using a wood sign – to poke at the raging out of control mob? Did Putin watch Russian T.V. last night, and did he do a little dance, he assessing We The People are on the brink of Civil War.
Now, if you excuse me, I got to compose an open message to Governor Kotek about the vote for Oregon Counties to secede. Wasn’t Todd Palin into Alaska seceding. Remember the white polar bear?. And what about Sarah Huckabee talking about the doors being opened to black school kids in Arkansas? How about we put George Bush, and Mike Huckabee, on T.V. to talk about how scared they would have been. Did President Biden show the enemy – any fear? I think he said;
“Just try to shut down the Government – while I sit in the Oval Office – and not the REAL LIAR!”
I hope several theologians interpret Sarah Huckabee’s Republican message, and not leave it up to me. Why would Oregonians believe Idaho, represents – their values? Well, the Christian-right and Christian Nationalists are having a hard time with King-Jesus being God, who came to establish his kingdom – in a Democracy! This worked fine with the Puritan Pilgrims who saw themselves as subjects of Monarchs, but, when We became a Democracy – that kingdom flew out the window! Gone with the wind! Depicting the Democrats as the promoter and defenders of BIG SECULAR GOVERNMENT, is forcing True Believers to become Armed Insurectionists. Million of Democrats are getting the BIG PICTURE, and thus they want a STRONG FIGHTER PRESIDENT to defend them. What did Biden mean by saying this’
“I am for conversion!”
He is talking about SAVING Social Security that millions of Christians see as Satanic Socialism. Thousands of ministers tell lies every Sunday about Satan, who may not be – real. Satan is…
THE SECULAR LIAR
Donald Trump was a GOOD LIAR – for Jesus! You have to defeat The Liar – with lies! And, this is the Real State of Our Union.
John Presco
As believers in Christ, we are engaged in a spiritual battle. Who is our enemy? Satan. The devil is a liar.
Since the Fall in the Garden of Eden, Satan has waged war on humans. His agenda is to kill and destroy us, to lie to us, and ruin our relationship with God (John 10:10). For that reason, “he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
However, there is no need to fear, for the more we seek God’s presence and study His Word, the more revelation we receive that the devil is in fact a liar and a defeated foe through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
On September 2, 2008, the Alaska Division of Elections had records that Todd Palin, husband of Governor Sarah Palin (a Republican and vice-presidential candidate), had registered in 1995 as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party. He remained registered with the party until 2002.[10]David Niewert and Max Blumenthal wrote in Salon about the third party’s influence in gaining election of Sarah Palin as mayor of Wasilla in her first political office.[11]

“It was a striking contrast to the reception that Mr. McCain received from the same audience the day before, when he was jeered and booed by some.
Mr. Bush strongly defended the parts of his record that critics and opponents view as his greatest liabilities: taxes, government spending, the handling of terrorist suspects and, especially, the war on Iraq.
“There’s another philosophy, and it’s advanced by decent people who see the world differently,” Mr. Bush said of the Democrats, returning to a refrain of speeches that have become increasingly partisan as the national campaigns intensified late last year.
“They tend to think Washington has the answers to our problems,” he went on. “They tend to believe our country only succeeds under the expansive federal government. They tend to be suspicious of America’s exercise of global leadership unless, of course, we get a permission slip from international organizations.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appeared to be the first legislator to try to bring a white balloon to the State of the Union address, an appeal made to Republican lawmakers on extremist and conspiracy websites in recent days.

Online forums associated with domestic violent extremist groups and conspiracy theories have been calling for Republicans to show up to Tuesday night’s event with a white balloon to register a protest against President Biden’s handling last week of a Chinese surveillance balloon that flew over the United States. By mid-afternoon, Greene posted a video of herself in the halls of Congress holding one.
McCain Seeks to Unify Support, but Huckabee Is Steadfast
By Steven Lee Myers and Michael Cooper
- Feb. 9, 2008
WASHINGTON In an effort to unify the Republican Party around his candidacy, Senator John McCain was spending Saturday making telephone calls thanking his supporters, and trying to line up more endorsements.
But even as Mr. McCain was portraying himself as the inevitable Republican nominee, Mike Huckabee, a pastor before he became governor of Arkansas, insisted Saturday that he would not bow out even though he is far behind in the convention delegate count.
“I didn’t major in math,” Mr. Huckabee said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them, too.”
Mr. Huckabee said he intended to stay in the race at least until one candidate had accumulated the 1,191 delegates need to win the nomination. Mr. McCain has 703 so far, Mr. Huckabee, 190, and Ron Paul, a former Congressman from Texas, 42.

Asked if he saw any cost to staying in the race, Mr. Huckabee thought for a moment before answering: no.
“I have nothing else to do,” he added with a smile.
Mr. Huckabee did not mention Mr. McCain by name in his speech but sought to draw an implicit contrast by underscoring his commitments to social conservative issues. Among other things, he called for the impeachment of judges who cite international law a group that includes members of the United States Supreme Court.
In a nod to the fact that there are still some convention delegates to be chosen, Mr. McCain’s campaign strongly hinted that Mr. Huckabee could win in the Kansas caucuses Saturday, noting the state’s many evangelical voters and the McCain campaign’s weakness in caucus states up to now. The campaign is still embracing the mantle of overall front-runner.
Speculation about why Mr. Huckabee remains in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, though his chances are slim, has settled recently on the notion that he wants to be Mr. McCain’s vice presidential running mate.
At a news conference after his speech Saturday, Mr. Huckabee confirmed that “a McCain-Huckabee ticket” has already been achieved.

“My wife’s maiden name is McCain,” he said with the raised eyebrow and mischievous grin that have done much of the heavy-lifting in his enduring, if unlikely, candidacy so far.
Janet McCain of Hope, Ark., married Mike Huckabee, a classmate at Hope High School, in 1974, when she was 19. Beyond that precedent, however, Mr. Huckabee said there were no other plans for a McCain-Huckabee union. “I’m not having any illusions that Senator McCain would seek me out as a running mate,” he said
On Friday in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference here, President Bush sought to unify the Republican Party and focus on the general election.
Mr. Bush did not mention Mr. McCain by name. But he said that “soon we will have a nominee who will carry the conservative banner into this election and beyond,” in what was widely interpreted as a message of reassurance about Mr. McCain, whose relationship with Mr. Bush has been strained in the past, and who faces misgivings from the Republican right.
As the party began to coalesce around Mr. McCain, Mr. Bush’s remarks were part of a broader Republican move over the last day and a half that has set the stage for a campaign focused on the nation’s security.
Beginning with Mitt Romney, who withdrew from the race on Thursday, warning that he would not abet “the surrender to terror,” Republicans, including Mr. McCain and Vice President Dick Cheney, have warned darkly that the Democrats were ill-suited and ill-equipped to protect the nation, the same theme that Mr. Bush struck in his successful 2004 re-election campaign.

On the first day as the likely nominee, a status he achieved when Mr. Romney withdrew, Mr. McCain on Friday turned his attacks toward the two Democratic candidates, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, not his remaining major Republican challenger, Mr. Huckabee.
“I guarantee you this: If we had announced a date for withdrawal from Iraq and withdrawn troops the way that Senator Obama and Senator Clinton want to do, Al Qaeda would be celebrating that they had defeated the United States of America and that we surrendered,” Mr. McCain said at a rally in Wichita. “I will never surrender.”
For Mr. Bush, Friday’s speech presaged a role his aides said he would play all year: using the power of the presidency to shape the agenda, defend his own record and attack his Democratic critics on national security as relentlessly as he has since the 2002 midterm election.
“Listen, the stakes in November are high,” Mr. Bush told the boisterous audience in Washington. “This is an important election. Prosperity and peace are in the balance.” Some of Mr. Bush’s closest associates have already begun officially to fall in behind the McCain campaign.
Ken Mehlman, a former political director under Mr. Bush who managed his re-election campaign and went on to lead the Republican National Committee, announced his endorsement of Mr. McCain on Thursday evening. Mr. Bush’s political guru, Karl Rove, said on Friday that he had contributed $2,300 to the senator’s campaign, confirming a report first published by Time magazine’s blog, The Page.
Mr. Bush himself refrained from any explicit endorsement of Mr. McCain on Monday, in keeping with what one adviser called “studious neutrality” during the Republican primaries and caucuses. (“We’re Switzerland here,” the White House counselor, Ed Gillespie, said in an interview.) But Mr. Bush did refer to the Republican candidates as “good and honorable people,” and made clear that he would vigorously campaign for the ultimate nominee.
A White House spokesman, Scott M. Stanzel, said it remained premature to discuss a presidential endorsement, despite Mr. Romney’s withdrawal.

“That gets us one step closer to having a nominee,” he said, traveling with Mr. Bush to Tennessee, where he toured cities damaged this week by tornadoes, “but we’re not there yet.”
Mr. Bush and Mr. McCain were bitter rivals for the Republican nomination in 2000, and Mr. McCain has at times infuriated the White House by parting company with Mr. Bush, notably with his refusal to support the president’s first round of tax cuts in 2001.
But Mr. McCain actively campaigned for Mr. Bush in 2004. When it came to the 2008 campaign, many of Mr. Bush’s top contributors and advisers dispersed to support other Republicans in the primary season, but most are expected to regroup behind Senator McCain.
Mr. Bush’s speech, his first to the annual conservative gathering since he was a governor running for president in 2000, amounted to a valedictory summation of his presidency and a full-throated articulation of what he repeatedly called “our philosophy” on everything from taxes to Supreme Court nominees.
Although deeply unpopular, with an approval rating at historic lows below 30 percent, Mr. Bush still enjoys strong support among conservatives like those who gathered to hear him speak on Friday.
“Four more years,” the audience chanted after Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, introduced him, and again during his speech. The crowd roared, too, when Mr. Bush declared Mr. Cheney “the best vice president in history” and joked that “Mother may have a different opinion,” since his father served as vice president for two terms under Ronald Reagan.

They tend to be suspicious of America’s exercise of global leadership unless, of course, we get a permission slip from international organizations.”
Mr. Cheney joined the assault on Friday at a Republican Party fund-raiser in Harrisburg, Pa., saying: “The important thing for all of us to remember is that six and a half years after 9/11, the war on terror is still very real, that it will not be won on the defensive, and that we have to proceed on many fronts at the same time.” Mr. Bush’s role in the coming campaign remains unclear.
But they said that speeches like Friday’s were an example of how he would be of use in a general campaign, especially with the party’s conservative base.
A prominent booster from the party’s conservative core could help soothe some of the anger and bitterness from the right over Mr. McCain’s candidacy, even as Mr. McCain reaches out to independents and others in the political center.
