Tanks for the memories!

 A few weeks ago, the North Carolina State Auditor, Beth Wood, parked her state issued car on top of another car on a street in downtown Raleigh. She walked away without reporting the accident to police or the state agency that owns her car. The next morning, she called the office that maintains her vehicle to report it. I will put aside my beliefs about America's ruling class, politicians, just long enough to ask how long it would have taken the NC Highway Patrol to locate me if I had performed in a similar manner. I am guessing that they would have been at my front door before I arrived back home. 

The Wood accident happened on Dec.8. It was mid-January before the story appeared in the news. Why the delay? Was alcohol involved? She had just left a holiday social. She left the car running when she walked away. Really? If there was honor among politicians, she would just resign. There isn't, she won't.

Nothing like a change in the majority party to cause the lights to come on at media outlets as they suddenly demand an end to partisan politics. Democrats being partisan is okay, Republicans are required by the leftist media to act in a bi-partisan manner. 

I read an editorial from a few weeks ago in the Winston-Salem Journal about Richard Burr and the end (hopefully) of his political career. While they were almost objective with their recounting of Burr's performance, they showed their true beliefs when they wrote that "he opposed the Trump monster". I voted for Burr several times. My family and I met him in his Washington office on a vacation visit to "The Swamp" one year. Another time, his office arranged for my wife and I to take the "Members Tour" of the White House. Richard was supposed to escort us on the tour, but his plane was late getting out of Greensboro, so his Chief of Staff filled in. Great tour though! I met several other Congressmen while we were all standing out in one of the gardens. Tom DeLay was actually really funny. But back to my point. I did not agree with much that Richard did in the last ten years that he was in office. In 2016, I sent him a letter telling him that he was receiving my last vote of support. I am certain that he wept for hours upon being informed of my decision. However, I still get the last laugh. Whenever I rant about the need for term limits, Richard Burr is my example for the cautionary tale.

Memo to the above-mentioned Winston-Salem Journal: People won't pay to read swill that insults their intelligence and denigrates their beliefs. That's why this is free, you should give yours away also. 

How do you get the media to stop using the term "election denier"? You get the Democrats to elect one as their Minority Leader of the House. Thank you, Hakeem Jeffries. 

I watched the Pelosi body cam video yesterday. This is one of those things that you watch and say, "I can't put my finger on it, but something just looks wrong with that." I haven't done a survey, but I think that the number of older men who sleep in boxer shorts and a long-sleeved oxford dress shirt is pretty low.

Did Zelensky really send Biden an email that read, "Tanks for the memories"? Was that a trade?
