1.  A Dumb Move On Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Part

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the governor of Arkansas, and she is also the daughter of the former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. During President Donald J. Trump's first presidential administration here in the United States, she was one of his most loyal subordinates in the White House.

Well, lo and behold, Governor Huckabee Sanders has gotten herself into somewhat of a mess. She ran a political advertisement in which she attacked the welfare system in our nation and in which she complimented her welfare-to-work requirement there in Arkansas. This video can be found on her own YouTube channel. Watch the video below.

Interestingly enough, Governor Huckabee Sanders shut off her comments section for this video. Hmmmm. I wonder why. Anyhow, many people are very unhappy about this same advertisement of hers. What is very interesting is that these same people that are unhappy about it are from both sides of the aisle. Below is a video in which YouTuber Joker criticizes it on his channel named Better Bachelor.

Now, don't get me wrong. I agree with most of YouTuber Joker's points and arguments in his video above. However, this topic goes much deeper than most Americans care to realize.

First of all, Governor Huckabee Sanders made a bad choice in portraying a video gamer as a welfare queen, because fact has it that many video gamers make good money online. Below is a video that contains information about how much money a video gamer can earn on YouTube.

Second of all, Governor Huckabee Sanders overlooks the fact that this Brad in her video appears to be no older than perhaps 23 or 24 years of age. Therefore, instead of receiving Medicaid, he would likely be still on his parents' private health insurance policy.

Furthermore, I find it a disgrace that our nation doesn't have Universal Healthcare as other nations in the Anglosphere do. The private health insurance industry treats its customers horribly. I once saw a story on YouTube about an American woman who traveled from the United States to Canada and ended up in the hospital there. After the attending physician discovered that she had a serious ailment, he arranged for her to get an emergency visa that would allow for her to stay in Canada until she was cured.

The reason that the attending physician was able to obtain an emergency visa for this woman was because she would have a good chance of surviving her ailment if she received medical care in Canada under their Universal Healthcare system, whereas the private medical insurance she had in the United States would have definitely led to her death in that it provided her with insufficient coverage.

The sad part about this story was that this same American woman could not go down to the United States to visit with her elderly mother without losing her visa. Her mother was very, very old and could not travel safely to Canada to spend time with her daughter because of her severe health conditions. Therefore, this woman had to choose between never seeing her mother alive ever again or dying in the decadent American healthcare system.

For these reasons, Governor Huckabee Sanders doesn't really make herself look all that good. In fact, she looks like a callous elitist in her advertisement above who couldn't care less about those less fortunate than her as she is married to a wealthy Jewish man. I don't like to badmouth any of the Huckabees, but facts are facts.

Governor Huckabee Sanders' depiction of a welfare queen, so to speak, in her advertisement above could not be any more inaccurate than it is. Moreover, instead of imposing Medicaid cut, our nation should be thinking about enacting Universal Healthcare. If people are too sick to work all the time, how is it going to benefit them to cut off their Medicaid by imposing a work requirement they are incapable of fulfilling? It doesn't make any sense.

Governor Huckabee Sanders is friends with Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar. She could get that couple's daughters off of welfare by forcing them to pay back all the money that they owe their daughters that they pocketed from what TLC was supposed to pay that entire family for their television shows on that network. What is outrageous about it is that Mr. Duggar once bragged about never taking welfare, while he has forced his daughters into such poverty that they've had no choice but to accept welfare.

2.  A Reputation-Saving Strategy For Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders

There can be no question that Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders shot herself in the foot by making the above-described political advertisement and putting it out to the American public. However, all may not be lost for her.

There are constructive things that Governor Huckabee Sanders could do with her welfare-to-work requirement that could really recover her popularity with the people of Arkansas once again. She could push to get a law passed in her state that would prohibit employers from obtaining credit bureau reports on job applicants. New York City did it, and their number of welfare cases plummeted significantly.

I don't think that most people on welfare choose not to work. It's more a matter of employers refusing to hire them because of some of the stupidest roadblocks they confront such as a bad credit report that has absolutely nothing to do with their work ethic. It is so easy for elected officials like Governor Huckabee Sanders to pass laws that would noticeably change that situation for the better for job applicants in their state.

Never mind how much revenue the credit bureaus would lose. They've been thriving off of other people's misery for way too long. It is time that our lawmakers kick them all in the butt and put them in their rightful places. No job applicant should ever have a negative credit report standing between them and a job for which they highly qualify.

Now comes the elephant in the room here; and perhaps it won't save Governor Huckabee Sanders' reputation in the short run, but it will make her a popular state governor in the long run. The marriage laws in Arkansas pertaining to the age floor to be wedded in that same state need to be put back to what they were before former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson took office.

Once upon a time Arkansas allowed for underage girls as young as 16 years old to get married in that state with parental consent. It was 17 years old for boys in that event. Before 2019, if a girl was pregnant, then she could get married in that state at an age younger than 16 years old provided that a judge authorized her to do so. The English Common Law dictated the age floor of 12 years old for girls and 14 years old for boys to get married in that state back then.

In 2019, former Governor Hutchinson signed a bill into law that would not allow minors to marry in Arkansas before their seventeenth birthday under any circumstances. I won't be voting for him in any future presidential election. You can bet on that. Men-hating femi-Nazis like Vivian Flowers from the Democratic Party pushed that bill right through the Arkansas legislature in Little Rock in that they have this dogma that incarceration is the answer to everything.

In the intervening seven years since then, there are likely more 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-, and 16-year-old mothers on welfare, because the fathers of their children are on the opposite side of the legal age line from them and are probably doing ridiculously harsh prison sentences as a result. You ask, "What about the girls' parents?" My response is, "What about them?" They may not be able to afford another mouth to feed, and, therefore, they have no other choice but to help their underage daughters apply for welfare benefits.

When the adult fathers of these girls' babies get out of prison, these men are going to have a difficult time finding employment inasmuch as they will likely have to register as convicted sex offenders. Therefore, these men may have to take welfare as well. Their offspring will then grow up in poverty. It is a lose-lose situation for everyone involved except for the arresting officers and the prosecutors, of course.

Governor Huckabee Sanders could introduce a bill to her state legislature that would restore the marriage laws in her state back to the way they were before former Governor Hutchinson messed them up. If middle-school and high-school girls younger than 17 years old are allowed to marry the adult fathers of their babies, then the number of welfare recipients will plummet in Arkansas. Marriage is not a loophole for statutory rape, but rather it is an alternative for a 20-something-year-old man when his 14-year-old girl is pregnant and he wishes to do what is right.

While Governor Huckabee Sanders is at it, she could also add a provision to her welfare-to-work requirement that would establish an easy pathway for those same men to get their names and personal information removed from the sex-offender registry. When employers see that an applicant is on the sex-offender registry, they're not going to hire him, period; and employers do ask job applicants if they have any criminal history inasmuch as there is no "ban the box" law in that state.

If Governor Huckabee Sanders took her work-to-welfare requirement down this same pathway that I have proposed, then she may not be very popular for it in the short run. However, once Arkansans witnessed how beneficial this move would be for their state on a fiscal basis, she might just go down in history as the best governor that state has ever had.

I don't envision Governor Huckabee Sanders being against such an idea, because, after all, most elected officials in the Republican Party oppose a blanket ban on teenage marriage inasmuch as they view it as government overreach. We have way too many men being needlessly sent to prison for frivolous and malicious sex cases, and many of these men get gang-raped while serving time.

Does anyone honestly believe that the offspring of these same men praise the criminal justice system for conducting their activities in this manner? I don't think so.

Also, YouTuber Joker mentions in his video above that more black men are on welfare than white men are. If that is the case, it's probably because African-American men don't have as much financial means to hire a good criminal defense lawyer whenever they are confronted with a frivolous and malicious statutory-rape case against them. They may wish to marry the underage girl they got pregnant in order to do the right thing, but going to prison only throws a monkey wrench in the entire situation.

3.  Final Thoughts

I realize that there are going to be little minds that will insist that allowing marriages between female teenage minors and adult men is a form of legalized pedophilia. If they believe it, then they need to read up on the real definition of pedophilia in the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ("DSM-5"); and they'll find that pedophilia has nothing to do with teenage marriage or teenage sex.

These little minds' viewpoint that teenage marriage and teenage sex are forms of pedophilia could explain why our nation's illiteracy rate has gone up to 21 percent of all people in our nation. It also explains why 54 percent of people in the United States read at no higher than a third-grade level. These little minds simply can't seem to get the definition of pedophilia right.

Social-justice warriors and other know-it-alls may even go as far as accusing me of being an enabler of pedophilia. Well, if any of them are reading this article here of mine, I can assure them that I am not pro-pedophilia, not even by the farthest stretches of the imagination.

Governor Huckabee Sanders? If you're reading this article here of mine, let me say this one thing to you. Don't believe for one minute that if something legally goes up age-wise, it cannot come back down. Laws are not written in stone. You could even introduce a bill to restore the marriage laws to the way they were before 2019 in the form of a referendum on your state's November ballots.

Allow the voters instead of the elected officials to decide whether they wish to continue to be held hostage to a minimum marriageable age floor of a solid 17 years old in Arkansas. You'd be surprised at how many people likely oppose the current marriage laws in your state, Governor Huckabee Sanders.

Fraidy Reiss of Unchained At Last and Jeanne Smoot of the Tahirih Justice Center can both drop dead as far as I'm concerned, because they don't care about anything other than their own agenda. Neither one of these women are grounded in reality, and they're clearly waging war against all men in view of their obvious hatred for men. They're living in a make-believe world of age-appropriate perfection and wholesome purity.

The statutory age of consent in Arkansas is 16 years old. Should Governor Huckabee Sanders attempt to get it lowered? I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole, because that would be a high mountain for her to climb. She needs to concentrate on restoring the marriage laws back to what they were before Governor Asa Hutchinson screwed them up.
