A Common Theme
Never have we seen so many stunningly unaccomplished leftists getting into office and then speaking down to everyone else as if they actually know more about everything than everyone else does.

Blessings on you and your family, and from all the Huckabee Post staff! Thank you again for subscribing!
Next week is Fourth of July week, when many Americans, including the Huckabee Post staffers, are taking a break. Don’t worry, we’ve prepared plenty of material in advance for you. And as always, if anything major happens in the news, we’ll drop our corn dogs and rush back to our keyboards to report it (fortunately, World War III breaking out suddenly seems a lot less likely.)
As a reminder the Morning Edition delivers Monday - Saturday.

And he said, things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

“Huckabee” Fix
As we get into a patriotic week of celebrating the birthday of the greatest nation on Earth, we’ve picked an appropriate clip for our weekly look back at “Huckabee” on TBN. Let’s revisit the time that singer/songwriter Brent Loper performed his patriotic song that became a viral sensation, “Let Freedom Ring”…
Go for it
A lot of New York City Democrats seem determined to follow the same suicidal socialist path as San Francisco and Chicago. Derek Hunter at Townhall.com has a suggestion: Give them what they want, good and hard.

Parliamentarian blocks changes
We told you about the Democrat-appointed Senate parliamentarian who is trying to gut the GOP’s “Big, beautiful bill” by ruling that many portions of it have to reach a 60-vote threshold to pass. Her latest pronouncement: reforms to Medicare can’t be included. Sounds as if someone is just itching to hear the words, “You’re fired.”
New York City Panics
No sooner had anti-Israel, pro-Hamas socialist Zohran Mamdani clinched the Democratic primary win for mayor of New York City than New York City’s luxury real estate brokers started getting a flood of calls from wealthy and successful people seeking to sell their homes and get out of town. They should rest easy because former Mayor Bill DeBlasio went on Fox News to assure voters that Mayors don't have the power to do all the city-ruining things he's promising. And if anyone proves that a bad leftist Mayor can't possibly destroy New York City, it's Bill DeBlasio.
Mamdani is a 33-year-old failed rapper who is good-looking, has a popular Tik-Tok site, and got the votes of other young “progressives” who were miseducated into loving socialism and the party’s notorious bloc of wealthy white wine women. Interestingly, the poor and working class people he claims to want to shower with “free” stuff didn’t vote for him. Either they’re smart enough to know that nothing is free, or else they’re immigrants who fled to the US to escape exactly the kind of failed socialist rot he wants to inflict on New York.
The thought of him as mayor is so terrifying to anyone with half a brain that even the New York Times editors urged people not to vote for him. But his win, even if it is due to a plurality vote in a ranked choice primary, should not only send up red flags to Democrats but also to Republicans.
For Democrats, it’s a sign that their aging and aged old guard can no longer count on the lock step support of voters just because they have the unions and other pressure groups behind them. They invested so much into taking over the schools and radicalizing students into anti-American revolutionaries, and now it’s coming back to bite them as those brainwashed students reject them for attractive young radicals with zero real world experience or accomplishments.
For Republicans, it’s a signal that they will have to devise new strategies to appeal to younger voters (they already seem to be doing that, thank God), and to be prepared to campaign against a new generation of leftists who are glib, attractive and social media-savvy, but also even more dangerously radical left (like, outright communist) than anything they’ve faced before.
A Common Theme
Speaking of the stunning lack of experience or accomplishments of Democratic New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, have you noticed that that has become a common theme among young radical Democrat politicians?
They go to colleges that brainwash them into hating America and Israel and loving socialism and the “Palestinians.” Then they get out, and if they get a job at all, it’s not a consequential or managerial job, but something like “failed rapper” (Mamdani), bartender (AOC – we can’t ask if she was a good bartender since policies she favored drove the bar out of business), or working for Democrat campaigns and/or leftist “nonprofits,” which are basically slush funds to support young radicals and pad their resumes until they can get elected into safe blue seats and start doing some real damage.
The concept isn’t new: Joe Biden reportedly handled only one case after barely making it through law school and was so distraught at losing that he went into politics and spent the next half-century+ warming a chair in DC. But he was utterly convinced that he knew more about business than Donald Trump.
Still, never have we seen so many stunningly unaccomplished leftists getting into office and then speaking down to everyone else as if they actually know more about everything than everyone else does, when they’ve never done jack squat.
The Founders envisioned political office as something that accomplished citizens would take on as a public service, do it for a while, then go back into the private sector to live under the laws they created. But the rise of the professional politician has given us people who spend their entire lives in government until they have to be removed from office in a body bag, never having worked a day in the real world or been subject to the laws they inflict on the rest of us, and somehow becoming fabulously wealthy on a “public servant’s” salary. Obvious case in point…

Another annoying habit of today’s leftists is their assumption that their opponents are less qualified than they are when they have no qualifications at all. Examples:
MSNBC finally jettisoned the loathsome extremist Joy Reid, only to have CNN invite her on, where she defended Manzoni by claiming that when Trump became President, he was just a TV star on “The Apprentice.” She also cited Dr. Oz.
Fact Check: Trump was on “The Apprentice” because they needed someone who was synonymous with business success, which his years of building and running a multi-billion-dollar, international conglomerate had made him. As for Dr. Oz, yes, he was a TV star, but he also had other accomplishments. Joy, see if you can guess what they were by looking closely at his name: “DOCTOR Oz.”
And Rep. Jasmine Crockett used a House Judiciary Hearing on immigration to attack First Lady Melania Trump. Before becoming a US citizen and marrying Donald Trump, Melania moved to the US in the 1990s on an EB-1 visa, which she obtained because she was a successful model and entrepreneur. Because those are sometimes called “Einstein visas,” Crockett claimed Melania wasn’t a model on the level of Tyra Banks or Cindy Crawford, and she didn’t have a significant achievement like winning a Nobel or Pulitzer Prize, so “It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the math ain’t mathin’ here.”

Crockett’s incoherent attack on a successful legal immigrant was widely criticized. One Melania defender asked if Crockett could speak five languages like Melania. Judging from what we’ve seen, we’re not sure Crockett can even speak English. In reality, it’s not necessary to be another Einstein to obtain an EB-1 visa. And it’s obviously not necessary to be another Einstein to get elected to Congress.

Enough is enough
After President Trump ripped Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as “stupid” for pushing to impeach him over ending Iran’s nuclear threat, she wrote back that she wasn’t scared because she’s a tough Bronx girl. Since most of what comes from young “progressives” these days is political theater, it’s not surprising that that was exposed as fantasy, too.
Republican New York state Assemblyman Matt Slater dug out his yearbook from suburban Yorktown High School, an hour north of the Bronx, and shared a class portrait of AOC when she was his freshman classmate. Slater told Fox News, "When I saw the tweet making her out to be this tough Bronx girl, I'd just had enough. I literally just reached behind me and grabbed my yearbook, clicked the photos and said: ‘Listen, enough is enough.’ You're from Yorktown. Let's end this charade and come clean."

See, it’s true what they told you in school: you can never escape your permanent record.
The latest anti-Trump moron
Proving that young communist idiots with social media accounts aren’t just an American trend, here’s an anti-Trump, pro-immigrant protester from Cuba who happens to be Fidel Castro’s grandson.
The story notes that he gets to live a life of privilege that only the communist leaders enjoy while the people of Cuba suffer. He doesn’t go into the fact that “immigrants” from Cuba are trying to escape the hell his grandpop created, and they’re put into actual prisons for trying it.
Because he’s on social media, he’s called an “influencer.” At least that’s better than the method his relatives used to influence people: firing squads. Coincidentally, that was also a favorite practice of Che Guevara, whose face was probably on posters in the dorm rooms of all the young “progressives” running for office in America.

Finally, as a bonus: How 12 Media Outlets Covered the Iran Bombing Story:
https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-just-bombed-iran-heres-how-12-media-outlets-covered-the-story
Great newsletter but I'm surprised of no mention of the Supreme Smackdown of Ketanji Brown Jackson from fellow jurist Amy Comey Barrett. We all know Jackson is an DEI insert. A woman who can't explain what a woman is who should have never been selected to the highest court of the land. It's points to the deeply flawed process of sitting judges. When Marsha Washburn asked Jackson to explain what a woman and Jackson responded that she couldn't that should have eliminated her on the spot. Yet bonehead lawmakers sat her anyway to decide other peoples lives. This makes no sense. Big wins for the president from the court to reign in the leftwing kooks judges attempting to block the Trump administration. Better late then never. Great week for the president, great week for America.
Great week for the Greatest President in US history. Started with the outstanding Air Force and Navy "Operation Midnight Hammer" and culminated with the SCOTUS decisions. Hopefully the Big, Beautiful Bill will hit the desk of POTUST on July 4th signed, and go into law. POTUST has delivered - MAGA - is enriched in our proud nation!
