The message you have just received was delivered by Mike Huckabee and includes a message from Huck PAC, his political action committee.  Robin, Who knew that I would ever be so euphoric over words and actions by three of the most partisan Democrats ever to hold elective office? And I'm not kidding. I am genuinely grateful to them because they have unwittingly given to President Trump and the Republican Majorities in the House and Senate a gift to top the past 100 Christmases. When President Obama brushed back John McCain in what was supposed to be a "dialogue" about health care, he icily said to the Senator, "John, the election is over and we won." He would later tell Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander in a similar forum, "Elections have consequences." In other words, "Shut up," he explained. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid rolled over Republicans in the minority on Obamacare even though they didn't have a clue what the impact would be. As then-Speaker Pelosi famously quipped, "We'll know what's IN the bill after we PASS the bill." I thought then it was like saying "I'll know WHAT I had for dinner after I PASS what I had for dinner." Whether it was judicial appointments or packing the Labor Relations Board, when Democrats owned the stage and supplied the actors and the script, they were indifferent to anything the Republicans thought of proposing. It was one-party politics—the kind I faced in then one-party Clintonista Arkansas. President Trump will enter office with not just a mandate from the American people. He shows up with the permission of what would normally be the opposition party to do anything he and the Republicans in Congress feel like doing. Will the Democrats scream about it? Of course! But their voices will be as credible as Carlos Danger demanding that we vigorously prosecute Internet predators who send pictures of their naughties to little girls. President Trump can go ahead and build that wall. He can cut the business tax rate to 15%. He can tear to shreds the agreement to give Iran a license to steal and kill. He can move the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and encourage Israel to build neighborhoods in Judea and Samaria. He can renegotiate NAFTA and send TPP to the landfill. He can appoint authentic constitutionalists to the Supreme Court. He can pass real reforms about the revolving door of lobbying and legislating. He can proceed with repealing and replacing the ill-named "Affordable Care Act" since it's become so unaffordable for many American families. He can ask that a real Department of Justice clean the cesspool IRS—a three letter acronym that smells like a four letter word. He can send people to lead federal agencies who will roll back job-killing regulations and impose a moratorium on any new regulations. He can take hundreds of executive orders issued by President Obama and use them to stoke the fireplace in the residence of the White House. He can do all of that because President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid said he could. Surely no thoughtful, self-respecting Democrat would say a word about it because the Republicans will simply be playing by the rules that the Democrats wrote and lived by. So while I didn't think it so great at the time, I can now say, "Thank you, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. You will make it much easier to reset our great republic with reforms.

And in case you missed these:   Some people never learn By Mike Huckabee Some people refuse to learn, even after being dead wrong for over a year. Late night comics and liberal commentators barely wiped the shock off their faces before going right back to branding Donald Trump as an uninformed know-nothing and an uncontrollable hothead. They accused him of not respecting the Constitutional right to protest because he tweeted that it was sad that "professional" protesters who refuse to accept the election results are rioting in a number of US cities. They seem never to tire of letting their partisanship blind them to the truth. They adamantly deny that the protests are organized by any George Soros-funded groups, even though they have the organizing emails from MoveOn.org, which has even bused in protesters to some of the cities, where photos show people in various locations carrying the exact same pre-printed protest signs. BTW, these protests have been accompanied by vandalism, looting and violence. That's not a "peaceful protest," it's a riot. As this story makes clear, those actions are not examples of Constitutionally-protected free speech. They're felonies. And law enforcement in those cities is losing patience with these illegal public tantrums.

Media Hubris By Mike Huckabee Interesting commentary on the political news media's huff over Donald Trump not inviting reporters to accompany him for his historic first trip to Washington to meet with President Obama. They are indignant that Trump is not following "protocol" in his dealings with them, the way Obama would. Seriously? Obama is famous for running the least transparent Administration in history. The candidate they openly backed went over 270 days without even talking to the press. And what about the "protocol" that news organizations cover all candidates fairly, and not openly cheerlead for one while vilifying the other 24/7? Read the full account of their hubris here. The A.P.'s outrage at Trump's snub reminds me of someone who spent 18 months kicking a dog being surprised that the first time the dog got off the leash, it bit them. ------ Message from Huck PAC:   HUCK PAC NEEDS FINANCIAL HELP: Support conservative Republicans in 2017 and beyond.

Trump and Obama at the Barbershop Posted: 10 Nov 2016 11:45 AM PST Trump is shaking Obama's hand on the fuzzy screen of the big television hanging precariously over an empty barbershop chair. It's a hot day outside. The limp flag of the barbershop hangs low. Inside a circle of black and Latino men peer up at the television and shake their heads. "Sheeit," one says, dragging the sound out. It's not hostile. It's as much wonderment as anything else. Like the rest of us, they are seeing the impossible. "It's like a miracle," another says. "I stayed up all night and I couldn't believe it." The noise of three barbers, black men working their trade in the second most hallowed neighborhood institution after the Baptist church, makes it hard to hear what Obama and Trump are saying to each other. Despite the best efforts of the Democratic Party machine, there's no hostility toward Trump here. There's bafflement, amusement and respect. "Sick" is a common term of approbation for him. The media had sought to depict Trump's birth certificate comments as racist, but few here buy that. "He did what he had to do," one says. "He played the game." There's nothing personal about it. Trump did what he had to do to win. Just like they do what they have to do. The election was a rap battle where you can say anything you want about the other guy, but it doesn't matter. It's just machismo and bravado. It's a game. Trump was a player. And they're not gonna be playa haters. Even if it's the biggest game in the world. Trump and Obama compliment each other in a scene that strikes much of the country as surreal. But not at the barbershop. "When it's out there, they fighting. When it's just the two of them, they good," one says. "They gonna smoke a blunt together," another says and laughs. There's a holographic picture of Obama at his first inauguration on the wall. When you tilt your head, he almost seems to be coming out of it. Next to him is an old black and white of Martin Luther King. To reflect the neighborhood's changing demographics, there's another one of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, one of Caesar Chavez and an Asian man in a khaki suit that I can't even begin to identify. The live Obama on the television looks old and shrunken compared to his holographic doppleganger. Like today's Bill Clinton, you wonder that he ever seemed so vital a nemesis once upon a time. Obama is still an icon in the black community. He's the first black president. But nobody here expected that to last forever. They still like him and his picture will hang on walls for generations. But they're also moving on. Trump is the kind of Republican they can understand and respect. "We need money," one man chants. "We don't wanna be on welfare. We want the money." A barber takes a call while working on a customer. "Gotta get that money," he says apologetically. The Koch Brothers flavor of free market education would fall flat here. But Trump's kind of capitalism they can get behind. "He's got his own plane. He's got an air force," a customer observes. "If I were a billionaire, I'd be an asshole too," says another. Trump thanks Obama. The event wraps up. "That's all," Obama tells the press. "You tell 'em to get out," a barber shouts. "That's right." The media tried to get men like this to hate Trump. But black turnout lagged. At the barbershop they don't hate Trump. They didn't vote for him, but they respect him. They want to pull together now. They want the country fixed and made right again. The violent freeway protests, the shutdowns and fires, the vandalized police cars, baffle them. "What are they trying to do?" they wonder. The left has lost nationally. But its grip even in places like this was always shaky. The left excelled at manipulation. It played on grievances and offered freebies. But there's a hard ambition here and a culture that the left never had a grip on. The barbershop is one of the more conservative outposts of the black community, but it'll never fly the elephant or vote GOP. But it has much more culturally in common with Trump and his voters than it does with the left that waged war against him. Black culture has been crippled and twisted, but it's still about ambition and achievement. The left has seduced the black community, but it doesn't truly understand it or control it.

ZOA Op-Ed in NY Jewish Week about Brooklyn Food Coop and BDS Share       For more information contact Morton A. Klein 212-481-1500 NEW YORK, November 11, 2016 By Susan B. Tuchman, Esq. and Morton A. Klein When the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn was founded in 1973, it had a worthy mission: to make healthy and affordable food available to everyone who wanted it. But recently, the Coop appears to have lost its way. In April, it suspended four loyal, long-time members for a whole year – three of them members from the Coop's inception. The reason? Allegedly, the four disrupted a Coop meeting. But they were singled out from among hundreds of Coop members who vociferously objected to a hateful and bigoted anti-Israel presentation at a Coop meeting, which was aimed at getting the Coop to boycott an Israeli company called SodaStream.  This wasn't the first time that an anti-Israel boycott was proposed at the Coop; the membership had already considered and soundly rejected one in 2012. But the Israel-bashers were persistent, this time displaying inflammatory anti-Israel photos at a Coop general meeting. The photos weren't verified, they had no context, and the boycott proponents did not even establish their connection to SodaStream. Members at the meeting reported that not only was Israel viciously attacked; Jews were, too, with incendiary comments like "Jews are aggressive toward black children." New York's Human Rights Law prohibits boycotts based on national origin, among several other protected categories. The law doesn't require evidence of a formal boycott campaign; it's enough if there's a pattern of conduct that commercially disadvantages members of a protected class, which describes the anti-Israel vendetta at the Coop. The four suspended Coop members were no doubt passionate and vocal about their objection to this anti-Israel boycott effort, and they had good reason to be: A boycott of Israeli products such as SodaStream would violate New York State law and could subject the Coop to liability. Boycotts that protest unlawful discriminatory practices do not violate the Human Rights Law, but that exception couldn't possibly apply to a boycott targeting SodaStream, a company that exemplifies fairness and peaceful Jewish-Arab coexistence. When the SodaStream factory was located near Maale Adumim — an area in Judea (part of the so-called WHOA! West Bank) under Israeli control according to the 1993 Oslo Accords, and an area that would likely be included in Israel in any future peace deal with the Palestinian Arabs – approximately 500 Palestinian Arabs worked at the factory alongside Israeli Jews, receiving equal pay and treatment. The factory even had a mosque for Muslim employees. The Coop was targeting SodaStream for one reason only: It's an Israeli company and the boycott promoters are hostile to Israel, which is precisely what the law is aimed at addressing. "The four suspended Coop members were no doubt passionate and vocal about their objection to this anti-Israel boycott effort, and they had good reason to be." Recently, New York State made its prohibitions against anti-Israel boycotts even stronger. Last June, Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order to prevent state agencies and authorities from engaging in or promoting "any investment activity that would further the harmful and discriminatory Palestinian-backed Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign in New York State."  The Coop isn't a state entity but it does receive both state and federal benefits. In addition to the federal money it receives from the food stamps that some customers use, the Coop has been authorized by the state to operate as a nonprofit tax-exempt organization. The Coop thus doesn't have to pay taxes derived from the revenue it collects. Given these benefits, it is difficult to believe that New York State would indulge a Coop decision to target and discriminate against Israeli companies, including SodaStream.  These kinds of liability concerns prompted the GreenStar Food Coop in Ithaca to reject a boycott of Israeli products. The coop's legal counsel wisely concluded that the boycott could render GreenStar liable under the Human Rights Law.  The four members' vehement rejection of the Park Slope Food Coop's anti-Israel boycott efforts made sense for a second reason:  Targeting and boycotting the one Jewish state in the world – and the only thriving democracy in the Middle East – flies in the face of the Coop's own mission statement. The Coop purports to be committed to "oppose discrimination in any form," to "make the Coop welcoming and accessible to all," and to "lead by example" and educate about such topics as "cooperation and the environment." The four members, together with hundreds of others who also opposed a boycott of the environmentally-friendly SodaStream, strongly reacted so that the Coop would stay out of a complicated political situation and remain an accessible place for everyone.  The injustice of the Coop's suspension of its four loyal members led the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) to intervene and urge the Coop to first, reinstate the members immediately, and second, stop promoting discriminatory and potentially illegal practices targeting the Jewish State.  But the Coop has stayed silent, keeping the harsh punishment in place, which is directed against not only the four members, but also all the members of their respective households who have not been accused of any wrongdoing. Everyone in the community – especially our public officials – should be calling on the Coop to stop indulging a group of Israel-bashers who seem obsessed with singling out and discriminating against Israel, in violation of public policy.  Instead, the Coop should stick to its mission to make healthy and affordable food available to everyone who wants it.
