Why Write to Rep. Clyburn?

   He is in South Carolina. We're in Florida; not his constituents. 

   James Clyburn is the only SC Democrat elected to the U.S. House (1993) His district is the largest of seven. We don't fault him for naming buildings and seeking $ millions for his district.  

   He is the House Majority Whip - who helps set agendas, unite his party, and broker deals. Remember "broker deals," because deals can affect all of us.

   "People say the president has blood on his hands," I wrote. (Yesterday, that was sadly evident when 13 service members lost their lives - not fighting - helping desperate people escape on airplanes. Another 15 were injured.) 

   "If that's so," I continued, "we haven't forgotten that candidate Biden was going absolutely nowhere until South Carolina's primary, when you rallied Democrats to his candidacy, and all the other states dutifully fell in line. Credit your experience brokering deals." 

   Remember, readers, there is little disagreement about our Afghan exit. The woeful, inexcusable decision was to discard Trump's muscular plan. [Fly out American civilians and Afghan loyalists first, remove or destroy $85 billion of amazing military aircraft, vehicles and weapons, and draw down soldiers and marines last - all while threating the Taliban to be nice, or else.] 

   Meanwhile, we're not buying the president's "sad face" and promise to hunt down the ISIS guys who sent two of their own on suicide missions. What an actor. They could be in Pakistan or Iran by now, if anyone even knows who they are.

Back to Rep. Clyburn

   "Did you know (in 2020) of Biden's extraordinary ego," I asked, "his suspect record on foreign policy, his loose connection with truth, his declining mental state?" 

   And I tossed in - "If FDR had Biden's 'expertise' on December 7, 1941, he might have let the Japanese capture Midway and continue their rampage over southeast Asia. Biden is another James Buchanan." 

   "With your 27 years in Congress," we concluded, "we assume you knew the real Joe Biden. What we'll never know is who put you up to it. No doubt - the same people who muzzled him for most of the 2020 campaign. Disgusting."
