Huckabee’s “Top 5 Takes” of The Week!

TAKE #1:

Warning: Disturbing Story

Over Labor Day weekend, thousands of useful idiots (actually, useless idiots) filled the streets of New York City to protest against Israel, despite the tragic news that Hamas terrorists had killed six hostages held since October 7th, 2023. They included Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a 23-year-old Israeli-American citizen. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to their families.

The IDF was closing in, so instead of releasing the hostages, these conscienceless murderers videotaped them making last words, then executed them with shots to the back of the head.

This was in an area that Kamala Harris said the Administration had warned Israel to stay out of because they were certain no Hamas members or hostages were there. This is the woman who wants us to make her Commander In Chief.

Biden finally returned from his vacation where he seemed to be harder on Israeli PM Netanyahu than on the terrorist murderers. Biden said he was pushing Israel to work harder on a ceasefire deal (says the man who just got back from three weeks on the beach.) To his great credit, Netanyahu was having none of it.

TAKE #2:

Fake News

No, Kamala Harris is NOT “the official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles,” and the company that runs the bus stops where those unauthorized posters appeared is quickly removing them.

She’s also definitely not the official candidate of the Patriots, although judging by her tax proposals, I’d think she might be a fan of the Raiders or the Buccaneers.

TAKE #3:

Putting Your Money Where Your Ballots Are

Before Harris’ long-awaited “interview” on CNN, the gambling website Polymarket had her and Trump rated with equal chances of winning. After it aired, Trump is now favored to win by 50-49%.

If you’re keeping a list of musicians who are threatening to sue Trump for playing their music at his rallies so you can stop listening to their music, you’ll find this handy.

Also worth noting: Trump’s venues have a blanket ASCAP/BMI performance license and can play any darn song they want that’s covered.

Until these “artists” put their money where their mouths are and yank all public performance licenses for their music (and give up all the profits), this is just empty leftist virtue signaling that insults half of their potential audience. They can go whistle their precious songs up a rope.

TAKE #4:

De Nile is Not Just a River in Colorado

Colorado’s leftwing Gov. Jared Polis dismissed reports of armed Venezuelan gang members taking over apartment buildings in the ”sanctuary city” of Denver’s suburb of Aurora as “largely a feature of (Aurora city council member) Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”

This is in spite of surveillance video of the men stalking the hallways carrying weapons. Well, maybe the cameras just have very vivid imaginations.

TAKE #5:

Tax-Free Gift?

Many people think their employers pay their FICA taxes and other expenses for them as if it’s a tax-free gift. It’s actually a cost of employing them that might go to the worker if the government weren’t taking it before they even see it. Here’s a great example of that:

https://rumble.com/v5cv9xn-store-owner-enlightens-employees-on-how-much-she-pays-in-taxes-just-have-th.html

The owner of a small business asks her young female employees to guess how much it cost her in payroll taxes to employ them over the last three years. They all make guesses but are shocked when they learn how much it was. One exclaims, “I could buy a house for that!” Yes, you could have…
