Today's Commentary: The "Medicare for all" scheme-- A disgraceful Congressman -- Hillary lies -- Protesting clowns -- No to shakedowns -- News Bits
READ THIS NEWSLETTER ON MIKEHUCKABEE.COM.
Robin,
When Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders first started pushing government-controlled single-payer health care, he was the only politician who would dare put his name on it. It's a signal of how far to the left the Democratic base has moved that he just proposed his "Medicare for all" scheme again, and this time, he's picked up several big name Democratic co-sponsors, including Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris.
Chances are that's just virtual signaling to the left because they know the bill has about as much chance of passing Congress and being signed by Trump as Bernie has of landing a job as a hairdo model. If they had to deal with reality, Sanders and Harris would have to admit that their respective states (Vermont and California) both flirted with single payer but had to drop it because it cost so much more than advertised. In California, it would have cost more than twice the entire current state budget.
Promoting single payer is a way for Democrats to voice solidarity with their constituents without fear that their promises will ever actually become reality. Sort of like how a lot of Senate Republicans repeatedly voted to repeal Obamacare until it counted. These days, it sometimes appears that both sides will fight valiantly and, of course, publicly, only for things they are certain will never actually pass.
Sincerely,
Mike Huckabee

-- A disgraceful Congressman
By Mike Huckabee
Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez angered veterans after he called White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, a retired Marine Corps General, a "disgrace to his uniform" for working for Trump and backing the end of the DACA program. Kelly blasted Gutierrez with a response worthy of a Marine drill sergeant. But Gutierrez just doubled down on the insult to Kelly's military record, telling the Washington Post, "I don't see [him wearing] a uniform. He's a politician who works for Donald Trump" and "not a general."
Gutierrez might be forgiven if he'd pleaded ignorance, since he's never served in the military. But instead, he pushed the insult further, smearing Kelly as unworthy of the respect due his military service, just because he holds a policy view Gutierrez disagrees with. The linked article has more, along with the good point that if Gutierrez thinks disagreeing with him on DACA makes you a "disgrace to your uniform," does that include all the current active-duty military members who happen to oppose DACA?
Gutierrez is lucky that's it's impossible to be a disgrace to the title of "Congressman."

Hillary lies...
By Mike Huckabee
Hillary Clinton took a break from her "And Then I Blamed…" Tour to insult the female White House Press Secretary (who – full disclosure – happens to be my daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.) Sarah was asked if Trump plans to read Hillary's book, "What Happened." She replied that she didn't know, but he's already pretty well-versed on what happened, as are most Americans: "Hillary Clinton ran one of the most negative campaigns in history and lost and the last chapter of her public life is going to be now defined by propping up book sales with false and reckless attacks. And I think that that's a sad way for her to continue."
Hillary laughed off the comment on "The View" in that strange, poorly-programmed robot-style laugh of hers, and replied: "I honestly don't pay much attention to what she says. I think unfortunately — and I don't say this with any kind of glee, I'm sad about it, we're not getting the kind of information from this White House that we should have, whether you agree or disagree, whatever your party affiliation might be."
In our house, people were raised to tell the truth, and after a lifetime of dealing with the Clintons in Arkansas, I don't think that can be said about their family. Just in that brief statement alone, she makes at least three claims that have my eyebrows raised to the ceiling: that she "honestly" doesn't pay attention to White House press briefings, especially ones that mention her…that she's "sad" at the thought of a high federal official not being completely honest and transparent with the public (says the woman who deleted 33,000 emails and scrubbed her devices before letting investigators see them)…and that she actually accuses other people of not being trustworthy. Go back and reread Sarah's statement. What part of it isn't true?
I'll be glad when this book tour is over. It seems to be taking longer to pass than Hurricane Irma and comes with a bigger hot air mass.

Protesting clowns
By Mike Huckabee
In New York City, a group of clowns plans to rally outside a theater tonight to protest the horror movie "It" for harming their image and hurting their livelihoods. And on the opposite side of America, at UC-Berkeley, another large group of clowns is planning a protest tonight of the horror of anyone voicing an opinion they disagree with. Biggest difference is that for the clowns at Berkeley, protesting IS their livelihood. Also, they'd probably cheer the violent clown in "It" if you just told them that the kids he targets were fascists.

No to shakedowns
By Mike Huckabee
Here's one of those "once in a blue moon" type stories: on the issue of civil asset forfeiture, I have to side with former Attorney General Eric Holder over Trump AG Jeff Sessions. But at least, I'm not alone. Tuesday, in overwhelming bipartisan votes, the House passed several amendments to block Sessions from rolling back the restrictions Holder put on civil asset forfeitures.
The program might have been instituted with the best of intentions – blocking criminals from profiting off their crimes while helping fund local police and government – but lack of controls on it have turned it into a legalized shake-down racket. There are countless examples of innocent citizens having their lawfully-earned cash and property seized and sometimes never getting it back, even if they aren't convicted, or ever even charged with, a crime.
If we are going to have such asset seizure laws, then they need to be strictly limited and policed to prevent abuse. And no American should ever be subject to having his or her property taken away by the government without due process of law. That's one of our most basic Constitutional rights, and it's heartening to see members of both parties for once coming together to protect it.

Remember the "outrage" that was ginned up over President Trump's warning that the leftist history-deniers who are tearing down Confederate statues would soon move on to attacking Washington and Jefferson? Well, he was more than right: they've already targeted Washington and Jefferson, moved onto to Columbus and now, they're even going after Francis Scott Key, writer of the National Anthem. Don't they realize that without the National Anthem, there would be nothing for NFL players to show disrespect to and drive away the fans?

A survey of pastors' spouses found that 60% say their churches don't pay them enough for their families to live off of. So I guess some things haven't changed since I was a pastor. It's nice when your church board believes you're filled with the Holy Spirit, but they should know only Jesus could feed the multitudes with a few loaves and fishes.

Re: Congress needs to fix this ban on Transgn
Friends –
Ever since President Trump took to Twitter to announce his ban on transgender Americans from serving in our nation's military, I've heard from brave transgender service members worried about what this means for their futures. They want nothing more than to serve their country, and it's morally wrong that President Trump has derailed their lives in an impulsive fit of bigotry.
An issue this fundamental goes beyond partisan politics. That's why Senator Susan Collins and I have introduced a bipartisan amendment to block the President's reckless and hateful ban.
No one who's willing to risk their life to serve our country should face discrimination just for being who they are. Will you join me in calling on the Senate to pass this critical amendment?
President Trump's hateful policy is astonishingly cruel – and it's not clear that it's even legal. Our transgender service members deserve better, and we owe it to them to stand with them now.
Thank you for speaking out.

אלול – אני לדודי ודודי לי
לכל ידידנו היקרים בארה"ב הנמצאים בעין הסערה,
אנו מתפללים שישועת ה' כהרף עין תגיע,
תרגיע את הרוחות החזקות ותפסיק את השטפונות וכל אחד יוכל לחזור לביתו
ולשקם את הנזקים הרוחניים והפיזיים.
אתם תמיד אתנו, לבכם אתנו וכעת ליבנו אתכם,
דאגתינו נתונה לכם.
האם אפשר לעזור? נשמח!
העולם כולו רועש וגועש. הקב"ה שולט בו. עלינו להתפלל ולעשות את הטוב בעיניו.
נלך אנחנו כאן למערת המכפלה לעורר את האבות לפעול לפני כסא ה' שישמור על כל ברואיו ובעיקר על בניו.
שנה טובה וברוכה, שנה של בריאות, פרנסה וגאולה
בהוקרה
יהודית קצובר ונדיה מטר
בס"ד
Elul – Ani Ledodi vedodi Li ( I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine)
To all of our dear friends in the United States who are located within the eye of the storm,
We pray that G-d's deliverance will arrive without delay,
Will calm the strong winds and stop the floods and that everyone will be able to return to his home
And repair both the spiritual and physical damage.
You are always with us, your hearts are with us and now, our hearts are with you,
We are concerned for you.
Can we help? We would be glad to!
The entire world is blustery and stormy. We must pray and do what is good in His eyes.
We will go to the Cave of the Patriarchs to arouse the forefathers to act before the throne of the Almighty, and beseech him to guard all of his creations, especially his children.
We wish you a good and blessed year, a year of health, good livelihood and redemption
With warmest regards and gratitude,
Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar

Back and Forth between Richard Allen JCCWatch.org and Jason Buberman of ASF (American Sephardi Federation) re:appt of David N. Myers as President and CEO of CJH (Center of Jewish History)
“pressure will grow on the American Sephardi Foundation to remove him from the CJH communal position.” “encourage the ASF to remove David N. Myers as President and CEO of the CJH.” – Again, we have no such power. What are you actually hoping to accomplish? It is a fact that David Myers reports to The Center for Jewish History’s Board, which is composed of a majority of independent directors plus representative of each of the five Partners. Your attacking ASF, let only your humble servant here, has and will continue not doing you any good.The email below is obviously not a defense or expression of support. It was a statement of fact and a question. However right you feel you are, dishonest methods are never justified.Sincerely,Jason-----------------------------------

Subject: David N. Myers unfit to lead the Center For Jewish HistoryDear Jason,Your support and defense of David N. Myers in the email below is inexplicable. The total picture is of an academic historian that has aligned himself with the most rabid organizations looking to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel. This makes him unfit to lead the Center for Jewish History.These new revelations are devastating:
Your assessment that this issue is mute is naive. David N. Myers is completely unfit to head the Center for Jewish History. As the wider Jewish community learns of his positions and his political activities to delegitimize the Jewish State, the pressure will grow on the American Sephardi Foundation to remove him from the CJH communal position.Sadly, his anti-Israel activities seem to not register with you. While you may support & fight for him to retain his position at the CJH, I doubt that view is held by your Board and financial supporters.As the person that helped organize the two large Klinghoffer protests at the Metropolitan Opera and the large STOP IRAN RALLY in Times Square, I promise you that we will work & mobilize the Jewish community to encourage the ASF to remove David N. Myers as President and CEO of the CJH.The anti-Israel views and activities of David N. Myers renders him unfit to head any Jewish Communal Organization.Best regards,Richard Allen, Founder

Indeed, ASF’s NY Sephardic Jewish Film Festival was attacked by Rashid Khalidi and 50 other BDSers. Curiously, not one of the people now expressing concern about BDS came to our defense then.JVP erroneously misappropriated Myers’ name years ago. Myers did not know. This should not be surprising considering he was not involved with them and thus did not receive the publication in question. Now, after you brought this mention to public attention, JVP issued a statement acknowledging that Myers had no connection, which confirms what Myers has maintained all along. Where is the “lie”?Best regards,Jason-----------------------------------

To:
Linked above is the Letter from Jewish Voices for Peace that David N. Myers is circulating on the Center for Jewish History website. It states he has never been affiliated with any JVP leadership Body.However, the JVP Website tells the Truth…for once ! See attached proof that he was on their advisory Board !Now as Board Members you must act to fire him immediately and publicly. There is no room for supporting BDS at the American Sephardi Foundation
