Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think.

The functionally illiterate youth are canceling her for praising the classic novel.

Outrage continues over the Uvalde massacre of last Tuesday, May 24, in which 21 people were killed and 17 wounded. The assault on this elementary school stands out for many reasons: the youth of the victims, the apparent mishandling of the situation by law enforcement officers, and the heroism of the parents, for example. After all, there have been at least 14 mass shootings in the U.S. since the Uvalde murders, killing at least 10 people and wounding another 61, and they have gotten much less attention.

Everything we are seeing is fruit of the Big Lie. And it’s going to get worse.

The Supreme Court just raised the stakes astronomically.

Smears from the press and pro-Israel influencers are a dangerous distraction from real threats to our safety.

The latest episode of ‘We’re Not Kidding’ tackles some of the Israeli propaganda that followed the horrific attacks of Oct. 7 and laid the groundwork for genocide.

Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior. It’s not just a shrug of the shoulders and a resigned sigh of, “What are you going to do?” Far too often, people resignedly accept Trump’s behavior because they believe there’s no alternative. The zeitgeist is: We can’t make him stop, can we?

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” With these words, Justice Sonya Sotomayor concluded her dissent from the majority opinion in Trump v. U.S. She was joined by Justices Jackson and Kagan. She is right. In today’s decision, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court told us in no uncertain terms who they are, and I believe them. Their decision signals that they believe it’s more important to create a powerful presidency—

Thoughts about heightism

Friends, Apologies for sending you a second letter today, but like many of you, I’ve been going over Chief Justice John Roberts’s presidential immunity decision, trying to understand the distinction it sets out between “official” acts of a president, which are immune from prosecution, and “unofficial” acts, which are not immune. And I wanted to share with you a particularly troubling aspect.

Teachers in Manatee County, Florida, are being told to make their classroom libraries — and any other "unvetted" book — inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. The new policy is part of an effort to comply with new laws and regulations championed by Governor Ron DeSantis (R). It is based on the premise, promoted by right-wing advocacy groups, that teachers and librarians are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

On Monday, six members of the Supreme Court granted Donald Trump — and every future president — broad criminal immunity. The court found that, as president, Trump was free to use his "official" powers to commit crimes. Considering the President of the United States is the most powerful position in the world, this is a breathtaking pronouncement.

As our model launches, either Biden or Trump could easily win — but the odds are in the ex-president’s favor.

All the numbers you really care about.

How painfully, cringingly super-woke must a comedian get to stay relevant?

The truth is what it is

Effectively, the American president is now a monarch

Besides Diet Coke and rage

Our only hope is to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

“Two weeks ago, no one even heard of Katie Britt,” the senator said. “Now, my kitchen will be in the Smithsonian right next to exhibits about Custer’s Last Stand and the Titanic. Not bad, y’all.”

In a farewell message to the ex-justices, Biden thanked them for giving him virtually unlimited power.

The next installment in my series on the plan to remake American government

This is a story about lying. Public lying. It is a story about Senator John McCain’s lying, and the damage it has done to many people, including me. It is also a story about my lying because, ultimately, John McCain’s lie became mine. Over time, that lie has become heavier as I have been abused by the family of the man I worked for

Two hundred and forty-eight years ago today a vote was taken on the Lee Resolution. It read: These United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and Independent States, that they are absolved of all allegiance to the British Crown and that all connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved.

Joe Biden came up short in the first debate. Now what?

From my piece today in The Big Picture: * * * Nearly 250 years ago, the American colonies rebelled against a monarchy. In place of it, after the Constitutional Convention, they set up a Republic where, through democratic elections, a president—not a king—would govern as the chief executive. Unlike a king, the president would be subject and accountable to the laws of the land and the new Constitution.

Proud of my country, proud of my President, proud of my party!!!!!!!!!!!!

The night before the insurrection, a large group of Trump family and advisers held an urgent meeting with January 6 organizers at the president's private residence in DC.

The debate performance Trump just turned in was the most shameful in U.S. political history. It doesn’t matter who’s running against him because he’s nonviable. And now some breaking news confirms it.

Democrats need to push past our 2016 emotional trauma and project confidence.

The ruling in the immunity case raises the stakes in the election. Democrats must respond in kind.

We have crossed 1000 deaths in the United States. Here is the present number in the situation. A lot of people want to push the narrative that we are just like Italy, things will wind up like Italy, and we are all going to die. But events change things. We have better medical capabilities. There are parts of the country that may have problems, but overall don’t believe the scare scenarios. The situation is bad enough. There are real concerns. But we’re not all going to die. The worst-case scenario is a scenario, not reality.

A number of months ago, a Politico reporter distinguished Christians and Christian nationalists by claiming the latter believed their rights exclusively come from God. As Heidi Przybyla doubled down on the statements, she was roundly mocked for failing to see that according to this definition, the founders of this country were the original Christian nationalists.

If Donald Trump ran for President, why would you vote for him? Or, why not? Please leave me a comment here and thank you so much for subscribing to my newsletter. Sincerely, Mike P.S. The Sunday Standard will deliver later this morning.

Blessings on you and your family from all the Huckabee team! Programming Note: My staffers and I are taking the week off for vacation and to celebrate the Fourth of July. But don’t worry: We’ve prepared plenty of material for you, so keep watching for the newsletter to appear as usual! The Prayer Tree will resume on July 8th.

Dear Criminal Defendant #4913961R: Thank you for showing up without incident yesterday for your arrest and arraignment. You appeared somewhat bewildered as to why you were there. As this is only the first of a number of criminal charges and arraignments for you that will follow from other prosecutors, I think it’s only fair that I give you the lay of the land as to what’s ahead and why this is happening.
