Several states and the District of Columbia are at it again with initiatives to allow illegal immigrants to vote in local elections and now the President wants to issue them a Federal ID. Hasn’t there been a lot of fear about the influence of foreign governments in our elections? How do you safe guard against other countries sending groups of special interest parties here to vote? Maybe we should start letting dead people vote too. The same logic applies. They reside in the community and have an interest in local government matters, like not having the cemetery moved for a new commercial development. Amazing that we live in a country where we can be arrested for fishing without a license but not for entering illegal.

Read an article this morning that Dr. Fauci’s wealth went way up during the pandemic. Nothing surprising here, just rewards for a lifetime of public service and filling your pockets with big pharma. Meanwhile, the good doctor still receives taxpayer funded security and car service. UNBELIEVABLE! Nothing will happen to him or anyone who profited off this disaster that upended the world. These Congressional hearings are nothing but theatre on both sides.

Speaking of Congress, there’s lots of hullabaloo over the new dress code to accommodate Senator Fetterman. Wonder what the people of Pennsylvania think about Uncle Fester now? With the new dress code some of the older Senators can wear their hospital gowns on the Senate floor. Where has professionalism gone? All you have to do is look at the leadership of the Senate. There is none. As for the people working there, they’re still required to wear a suit and tie. Tells you everything you need to know, doesn’t it?

Times have changed. Ran across this item in the Enterprise from November 1899. “James Martin and Ida Whitney are not married, but they ought to be.” The Constable arrested them yesterday for “Maintaining scandalous relations prohibited by the statutes of Missouri and an important commandment.” The next week this appeared: “James Martin and Ida Whitney plead guilty in court to lewd conduct and were given 20 days in jail.” If they jailed everybody in Benton County today who….well, never mind….but Sheriff Knox would be putting prisoners in trailers and the County Commission would be screaming about the the food bill.”
With that happy prospect, I take my leave. Take care Old Buddy.
