Three Cheers

 THREE CHEERS

I'm giving three cheers to our four representatives in Congress:  Randy Feenstra (my favorite), Ashly Hinson, M. Miller-Meeks, and Zachary Nunn.  In their work for us, the citizens of Iowa, they have voted for the impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.  However, it is somewhat unclear the reason and as usual, I would like some clarification.

Is it because his name is not Smith or Johnson, but some foreign sounding name like Mayorkas?  Is it because he lives in the wrong neighborhood in DC?  Is it because he hasn't issued any orders to gun down refugees crossing the Rio Grande?  It is unclear.  In regard to the latter, you simply can't have bodies floating down the river bloating and causing trauma in young people.  So just exactly what is it that causes our representatives to give their attention to something that has no effect of any kind on our lives here in Iowa?

They must be in contact with our governor who has decided that our national guard and law enforcement are not sufficiently busy so is sending some of our extras to the border with Mexico to do what, I'm not sure, is the answer to under employment and idle time.  Why be idle in Iowa in February when you can be in Texas on the border with all the snow birds?  Somebody must have got to the governor and convinced her to give them a free winter vacation at our expense.

What we have here are our elected representatives doing nothing in the guise of doing something that will garner them votes from those who somehow believe they are doing something when they are in fact doing nothing.  It is actually interesting to see.  And apparently it works - - at least one can assume so since they continually make these gestures in the guise of accomplishing something.  

Now, I understand that in some unidentified manner, impeaching the Secretary of Homeland Security and sending national guard members to Texas are somehow suppose to be to my benefit - - but for the life of me, I can't tell you what it is.  So I am asking for clarification.  M. Miller-Meeks is my representative in Congress and I am asking her personally to address this issue.  Hopefully, she'll have staff members scouring the pages of local newspapers for signs of disaffection and address whatever issues seem to be of concern.
