“I’m going to be very clear about this, good for Michelle Obama. She is practicing capitalism in the private sector and I say why the heck not. My speeches never get $4,200 a ticket, but for $4.20 I’ll speak in a Holiday Inn breakfast room and everybody just has to share their eggs and biscuits with me. That’s all they …

“It’s a horrible thing, but let’s be real clear. The common denominator in all of this is not the particular weapon. It’s the hate inside the heart.

Mother Jones reports: Mike Huckabee built his dream house on a public beach, a spot where some of the more than 4 million spring breakers and tourists who come to Walton County each year had been parking their lawn chairs and fishing poles since time immemorial.

“There was a conspiracy, a cover-up and attempted coup d’état. But it was not by anyone in the Trump campaign. It was by people inside the government who tried to upend this President and overturn the election. That’s serious. It absolutely demands an investigation and charges if they find evidence. For all this time we were told Donald Trump didn’t …

The Daily Beast reports: If Ann Coulter is going to dictate the policies of the Trump administration, then maybe she should just run for office herself.

“What scares me the most is, is if the FBI can decide on its own to go and investigate a duly-elected president of the United States and just decide to go after him because they want to. Guys, I’m going to tell you something, this is incredibly damaging to the way our constitutional republic is supposed to work, and for …

“This is not just mere incompetence, because it continues to happen in the one county in Florida that is heavily Democratic, that has shown that it has incredible levels of corruption, as we saw from even the fallout from the Parkland shooting and the sheriff’s office, and the fact that elected officials in that county don’t even have the confidence …

The Guardian reports: Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, has laid a ceremonial brick at a Jewish settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and said he might one day buy a “holiday home” there.

His relentless douchebaggery just never ends: Just when you thought the “to own the libs” meme couldn’t get more out of hand, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee mocked his one-year-old grandson today by suggesting he is lazy and might be “a Democrat.” While Huckabee is known for his nonsensical, cringe-inducing dad humor, his jokes just haven’t been landing recently. Just …

His assholery has no limits: Former Arkansas Gov.

Mediaite reports: So, to recap, everybody: Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and a former presidential candidate, wants the world to know that he had his tush looked at by a Russian doctor, and that he thinks it’s a funny joke to call a medical examination of his rear “meddling.” Feast your eyes, folks: The most gag-inducing five words …

Over at The Friendly Atheist our friend Hemant Mehta has purchased a copy of Kim Davis’s book and provides some amusing commentary. A few excerpts: Both Davis and Huckabee go on and on about how Pope Francis met with her to express his support.

Via press release from Tony Perkins: Through all of the cultural ups and downs, country music has always been a place conservatives felt welcome.
