"Huckabee" Preview
Tune in tonight for a great new episode of “Huckabee” on TBN! I’ll talk to New York Rep. Claudia Tenney and Rev. Jim Harden about protecting pro-life pregnancy centers from violent radicals. Bestselling author Larry Loftis will discuss his latest book, the first biography of World War II heroine Corrie ten Boom. On the lighter side, I’ll check out some crazy news on “In Case You Missed It,” and welcome back hilarious comic Leland Klassen. And I’ll top it all off with one of our favorite country voices, back for his third appearance, the terrific Tony Jackson.
It airs tonight at 8 and 11 EST, 7 and 10 CST, and Sunday at 9 EST/8 CST on TBN.

Some Democrats confront reality
At a panel discussion in Washington, DC, hosted by the African American Mayors’ Association, New York City Mayor Eric Adams complained that his city is being “destroyed” by President Biden’s illegal migrant crisis.
And outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Democrats need to speak the truth about violent crime in their cities, and it does no good for police to arrest criminals when leftist prosecutors and judges keep letting them out to prey on the public again and again. She said if someone works up the courage to identify the person who shot up their neighborhood only to see him back on the street two days later, that tells the public “that the criminal justice system doesn’t care about victims and witnesses.” She said, “I know that there are people in my city that are wreaking havoc every day and need to be off the streets. That’s reality.”
As Nick Arama at Redstate.com notes, anyone hearing this is probably suffering from whiplash now.
Legal Round-Up
We’ll have more on some of these stories on Monday, but just so you know:
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg dropped his appeal to prevent former Trump-hating New York prosecutor Mark Pomerantz from being subpoenaed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, after a judge pretty much left him no choice.
The election software company Konnech Inc. dropped its lawsuit against True The Vote, after founders Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were outrageously imprisoned, strip-searched and put in solitary confinement for refusing to reveal their sources. True the Vote released a statement reading, “Konnech’s litigation was meritless and intended to harass this organization. They have failed. We are evaluating our options with regard to holding them accountable for their unwarranted actions. We believe Konnech dismissed its lawsuit because it saw that it would lose.”

And the Supreme Court issued an administrative stay on a lower court’s ruling that the FDA violated its own rules in approving and removing safeguards from the abortion pill, mifepristone. This isn’t a ruling on the merits of the case, but it means the pill will remain available for now. The Alliance Defending Freedom, which filed the suit on behalf of doctors and medical groups, said it’s “common practice” for the Court to maintain the status quo until they can hear an appeal and issue a ruling. That’s been fast-tracked with oral arguments set for May 17.
