There are many important public jobs that involve community service. By any measure, a policeman is one of the most important positions in our government structure. They protect us around the clock and give us a sense of security because they are there for us whenever anything goes wrong.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a national policeman who could keep the political parties from doing dangerous and stupid things?

The first place I would send the national cop would be Alabama. Recently the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Alabama legislature was required to draw new legislative maps giving black communities one extra member of Congress.

Considering that 27% of the state’s population is Black, this is a fair decision. But the legislature has said “no” and defied the court. If only there was a national cop to make an arrest.

My next stop would be Florida, where they should arrest the officials of the state Education Department. These supposedly smart people have approved a curriculum that states that slaves “developed skills that could be used for personal benefit.”

Somehow the department thinks that slaves forced into agricultural work, domestic service, blacksmithing and tailoring really were getting vocational training while being whipped and beaten.

While in Florida, the national cop should examine the policies of Gov. Ron DeSantis. In his quest to out-Trump former President Trump, DeSantis has targeted the gay population with various restrictions on their free speech and how the issue of being gay should be handled. He has chased thousands of school teachers out of the state, with official threats of firing if they are not careful about what they say and what classroom books they use. He is currently trying to dictate what courses private colleges can teach.

The next stop for my national cop is at the office of U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-OH). Grassley, who is 88, and planning to seek another six-year term, should definitely retire along with Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA). He broke the law by releasing a confidential FBI document  in an effort to smear President Biden and insinuated, with no absolutely no proof,  that the president was involved in a bribery scheme.

There is enough criminal work in Washington that a national political cop could spend months locking up people who are a threat to society. He should visit with House Speaker Kevin Mc Carthy (D-CA), who in his desperation to keep his job, keeps coming up with schemes to satisfy the thirst of his crazy Freedom Caucus. McCarthy should employ a criminal defense lawyer in his offices to keep him from being arrested.

Next stop is at the office of Sen. Tommy Tuberville(R-Al). To date, Tuberville has held up over 200 military appointments and promotions, because of his objection to abortion policies. His latest hold is on the position of commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps. At no time in the history of the nation have the Marines been without a leader, which jeopardizes national security. Tuberville is a football legend in Alabama, but he disgraces the Senate with his conduct.

The last two candidates for serious scrutiny are U.S. Reps. George Santos (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). It is a disgrace that Santos has not been removed from office and he continues to collect a paycheck at taxpayer expense. His latest contribution to the House agenda is his announced support for the impeachment of President Biden.

Congresswoman Greene has succeeded in becoming one of the best-known Republican members due to her daily pronouncements. Her latest contribution to the reputation of the House is her display of a naked photo of Hunter Biden at a congressional hearing.  To the shock of no one, her leadership didn’t criticize her conduct and they never will as she is the closest adviser to House Speaker Kevin Mc Carthy.

Sadly, there is no national cop to help restore sanity and safety to our nation. We are stuck with a whole houseful of lawbreakers, zealots, misfits, bigots and similar type creatures holding public office around the country and there is no one to step in and blow the whistle. Superman was a mythical figure and so is my national cop.
