4 Things to Know About Sarah Huckabee Sanders Ahead of Her State of the Union Response

A former White House press secretary, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will deliver the Republican response to Democratic President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
“She is a servant-leader of true determination and conviction,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said of Sanders in announcing the selection Thursday.
“I’m thrilled Sarah will share her extraordinary story and bold vision for a better America on Tuesday,” McCarthy added. “Everyone, including President Biden, should listen carefully.”
Meanwhile, Democrats chose Rep. Delia Ramirez, a first-term Democrat from Illinois, to rebut Sanders.
Here are four things to know about the former presidential press secretary-turned-Arkansas state chief executive:
1) Who Is Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Sanders was elected as the first female governor of Arkansas on Nov. 8 and took office on Jan. 10. She is currently the youngest governor in the country at 40 years old.
Sanders served as President Donald Trump’s White House press secretary for nearly two years, from late July 2017 to early July 2019. Sanders published a memoir, “Speaking for Myself,” in 2020.
The mother of three children, Sanders graduated in 2004 from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where she studied political science and mass communications.
Sanders and her father, Mike Huckabee, are the first father-daughter duo to win the same governorship. Huckabee served as Arkansas governor from 1996 to 2007.
“Love the people. Serve them, regardless of whether they voted for her,” Huckabee advised his daughter.
Huckabee ran for president in 2008 and 2016. Sanders served as her father’s campaign manager in 2016. With a background as a Baptist pastor, Huckabee hoped to win the evangelical vote, but dropped out of the 2016 race after a weak showing in the Iowa Republican primary, a state he had won in 2008. He hosts the news talk show “Huckabee,” which started on Fox News but has since moved to the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
2) What’s She Done as Arkansas Governor?
Since taking office, Sanders has signed 15 executive orders, including directives freezing government hiring, reducing government rules and regulations, limiting government overreach and bureaucracy, improving the integrity of the Unemployment Insurance Program, lifting COVID-19 restrictions, and improving education.
Executive Order 5 prohibits the teaching of critical race theory as “indoctrination” opposed to “traditional American values.”
“It emphasizes skin color as a person’s primary characteristic, thereby resurrecting segregationist values, which America has fought so hard to reject,” Sanders said in the order.
Education is her top priority in the 2023 legislative session, she said. An executive order, “Arkansas LEARNS,” called for an expansion of Arkansas charter schools, a review of parental access to public school curriculums, and more financial incentives for high-performing teachers.
Arkansas’ 47th governor also banned the TikTok app on state devices, citing concerns about “significant ties to the Chinese Communist Party.” Another order will eliminate the politically correct term “Latinx” from state documents because “one can no more easily remove gender from Spanish than one can remove vowels and verbs from English,” Sanders said.
3) How Was Her Stint as Trump Press Secretary?
Sanders was the third woman and first mother to hold the position of White House press secretary.
Before stepping down in 2019, Sanders shortened the daily press briefings, which traditionally ran for about an hour, to about 20 minutes, before reducing them to once a month or less.
“I have loved it. I love the president. I love the team I’ve had the opportunity to work for—the most incredible and talented people you could ever imagine. It has been a special experience,” she said after her resignation. “The only one that I can think of that might top it a little bit is that I’m a mom. I have three amazing kids, and I’m going to spend a little more time with them.”
Sanders recently sidestepped a question about whether she would support Trump for president in 2024.
“My focus right now has been on 2022, winning the election in November, preparing through transition and getting ready to take office, as I did this past week,” Sanders said on “Fox News Sunday” on Jan. 15. “I love the president. I have a great relationship with him. I know our country will be infinitely better off if he was in office right now instead of Joe Biden.”
4) Is a Return to White House in Her Future?
Pundits have already begun speculating on Sanders’ political future, but she insists her focus is on the 2022 Arkansas General Assembly legislative session, not on 2024.
“Right now, my focus isn’t 2024. It’s focusing here, in Arkansas, in doing what we can to empower the people of this state, and make sure that I’m delivering on the promises that I laid out over the course of the last two years,” she told Fox News.
Arkansas talk-show host Roby Brock said Sanders would make a strong Republican vice presidential option in 2024.
“On the strength of the fact that she’s got some national brand already from her time in the White House, the fact that she will have accomplished something in the next two years as governor, particularly with the legislative session coming up, and she’s just a well-known commodity and she’s from the South, that may help out,” Brock said.

Steven Weinberg Discussion (4/8) – Richard Dawkins
I am grieved to hear of the death of Dr. Steven Weinberg who I have been familiar with since reading about him in 1979 in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE? by Dr. C. Everett Koop and Francis Schaeffer. I have really enjoyed reading his books and DREAMS OF A FINAL REALITY and TO EXPLAIN THE WORLD were two of my favorite!

Steven Weinberg Discussion (5/8) – Richard Dawkins

Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist Steven Weinberg, who helped produce theories about the fundamental forces of the universe, died aged 88 on Friday.
Weinberg was born in New York City in 1933 and began pursuing science as an interest when he was a teenager, spurred by encouragement from his father.
He studied at Cornell and then at the University of Copenhagen, before obtaining a doctorate at Princeton. He went on to be a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, and eventually the University of Texas at Austin in 1982, where he worked until his death
William Rory Coker, a professor in the physics department at University of Texas at Austin, tweeted on Saturday that Weinberg died in the ICU of a local hospital late on Friday evening.
“He was considered to be the greatest living theoretical physicist by essentially all his colleagues, certainly by me,” Coker said.
Weinberg’s Nobel Prize-winning work regarded the four forces of the universe: gravity, electromangetism, the strong force, and the weak force. Since the 1970s he produced research on a theory in which electromagnetism and the weak force could be unified.
Jay Hartzell, president of The University of Texas at Austin, said in a statement: “The passing of Steven Weinberg is a loss for The University of Texas and for society. Professor Weinberg unlocked the mysteries of the universe for millions of people, enriching humanity’s concept of nature and our relationship to the world.
“From his students to science enthusiasts, from astrophysicists to public decision makers, he made an enormous difference in our understanding. In short, he changed the world.”
He also gained public recognition for his ability to explain complex scientific ideas in an understandable way, demonstrated in his 1977 book The First Three Minutes, which explains how the universe was like just minutes after the Big Bang.
Below are some quotes from Weinberg on science, humanity, and religion.
“In the beginning there was an explosion. Not an explosion like those familiar on Earth, starting from a definite center and spreading out to engulf more and more of the circumambient air, but an explosion which occurred simultaneously everywhere, filling all space from the beginning, with every particle of matter rushing apart from every other particle.” From The First Three Minutes, 1977, page 5.
“Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather.” From The First Three Minutes, 1977, pages 154 – 155.
“The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.” From The First Three Minutes, 1979 edition, page 144.
“If there is no point in the universe that we discover by the methods of science, there is a point that we can give the universe by the way we live, by loving each other, by discovering things about nature, by creating works of art.” From a PBS interview, date unknown.
“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion.” From a PhysLink article based on a talk he gave at a 1999 science conference.
“Scientists have discovered many peculiar things, and many beautiful things. But perhaps the most beautiful and peculiar thing that they have discovered is the pattern of science itself.” Page 1, Chapter 2, Dreams Of A Final Theory.

Handwritten Letter sent on 8-5-14
Sent August 5, 2014
I know that I had written you about Israel back in May of this year, but Israel has jumped into the news a great deal since then so I thought I needed to write you again. Zechariah 12:3 (KJV) notes, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.”
The rise of the Moral Majority is another new feature of the American landscape that baffles Jews…One of the reasons—perhaps the main reason—they do not know what to do about it is the fact that the Moral Majority is strongly pro-Israel. Some Jews, enmeshed in the liberal time warp, refuse to take this mundane fact seriously. They are wrong… In short, is it not time for an agonizing reappraisal?
I later corresponded with Mr. Kristol and shared with him some of these same Old Testament Prophecies concerning the Jews returning to the promised land once again.
In a letter to me dated September 21, 1995 Irving Kristol wrote this comment, “I am leery of taking Biblical prophecies too literally. They always seem to get fulfilled, some way or other, whatever happens. They are inspiring, of course, which enough for me.”
It is my view that there is a master plan that is getting played out on the world stage and Israel is in the center of the plan. Jesus spoke to the skeptical Jews of his day with his words from John 7 :16-17, “My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.” In other words, if you are an honest doubter and are willing to search out the truth and live by the results then God will reveal to you that Christ is his son. However, if you are a dishonest doubter then you are just unwilling to serve God and that is the core problem. You can’t find God for the same reason a thief can’t find a policeman.
Just recently I got to visit with Irving Kristol’s son Bill in a political meeting in Hot Springs, Arkansas on July 18, 2014. I gave him copies of letters I had received from both his father and their family friend Daniel Bell. He was amazed. He read the letters on the spot and thanked me for them. I told that Old Testament prophecies concerning Israel was the subject of the letters. Then I told him how much I respected his mother’s historical work and asked how she was doing.
Is there a master plan and does the universe have an ultimate purpose? The events playing out in the Middle East today seem to indicate that these Old Testament prophecies concerning the country of Israel returning to prominence are correct. Do you wish to explain them away like Irving Kristol did?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Everette Hatcher, P.O.Box 23416, Little Rock, AR 72221, everettehatcher@gmail.com,

Steven Weinberg: To Explain the World
I have a friend — or had a friend, now dead — Abdus Salam, a very devout Muslim, who was trying to bring science into the universities in the Gulf states and he told me that he had a terrible time because, although they were very receptive to technology, they felt that science would be a corrosive to religious belief, and they were worried about it… and damn it, I think they were right. It is corrosive of religious belief, and it’s a good thing too.
