Root of Evil

What is it that can cause a person to steal from friends and relatives. What is it that can drive us to risk the well being of ourselves, our friends, our community and our nation.

Some have indeed abandoned oath of office and the good of constituents. It has caused judges and upstanding citizens disgrace and ruin.

I am sure, by now, most of you have figured it out. It is as Jesus said. The root of all evil is the love of money.

Indeed, when a man loves money more than than his brothers, then his brothers are not safe from him. When a president loves money more than his country, you get someone who looks a lot like Old Joe.

When a husband loves money more than his wife and family, he loses that which he has in casinos because of sicknessof greed. Moreover, he will steal so as to lose even more.

The love of money will drive a soldier or sailor to betray his country and the nation that loves money more than God will fall suddenly. For the one citizen will not trust the other.

Money causes man to do ugly things such as selling his fellow man into slavery and the woman into evil so as to increase his wealth. t will destroy the guilty man’s conscience so he knows no guilt.

In a strange ugly way, there are those evil men who seek money by distortion of God’s word, by promising wealth to those who will only have faith.

Logic 101

The consonances of the libs is never chase the criminal unless they have committed a violent crime. Okay. No problem. New instructions for police. Just let them continue to commit crimes until they commit a violent crime. Then, go get them.

Down here in Desoto County, we don’t do things that way. If we catch him the first time, we just might keep him from committing that violent crime. That way, we don’t have so many violent crimes. That way we don’t have so many folks killed while sitting in the living room watching the football game.

I wonder if I could interest anyone on bullet-proofing their home. I think I can do it for the right price.

Now That Just Gets My Goat!

Three Memphis news men and a woman were talking about the elections in Mississippi and how we will regret voting for the Republicans, especially Tate Reeves.

Well, maybe those three men and one lady should sit at the state line and watch all the U-Hauls go by. I’ll give them a hint. They ain’t headed north.

If they were to put up a 90 foot fence between Memphis and Mississippi, it’d be to short form me. Moreover, no one should be permitted to move south through the gates unless they produce proof of being a Republican.

I don’t mind them providing entertainment on their big stations, but I would prefer they not try to run our state or our lives from their side of the line. They should deal with their own problems of which they have many. I mean, down here we believe in justice. When we are able to prove someone did something wrong we send them to prison, which is the likely reason the smart criminals have a tendency to stay on the north side of the state line. It is also a likely reason the victims are headed south.

Speaking of victims, maybe City Gear should move to Southaven MS. The stores present in Memphis have been held up, I think 6 or 7 times, twice in one day. It’s not just that; but they also destroy parts of the buildings. Right now I would not want to have a store of any kind in Memphis, or for that matter, any city run by dems. Actually, come to think of it, that’s just about any major city. They all have the dem illness and it shows on just about every night on the news. Since the dems took over Memphis, they have had, it seems at least one murder or attempted murder a day. It’s 2 or 3 a day Saturdays. It seems they have bought the lie that locking up guns solves problems instead of locking up criminals.

I learned better. I don’t go north of that state line anymore. I don’t have to. And I am very grateful Desoto County is not Memphis. I am very grateful that, other than Jackson, most of the state is run by folks who actually know how.

I am thankful for the police, the judges and all the rest that keep me safe at night, well, except for those few dumb criminals that venture down here from Memphis.

So all you Memphis newscasters, just keep your opinions about Mississippi to yourselves. We neither want nor seek your ideas on what to do with the bad guys.

Just had an afterthought. You really look and you will see where those who live in Memphis are going for food, shopping and entertainment; in some cases to live.

It would likely cost a bundle, but I would sure like to see research done on just how many southbound Shelby County cars get off I-55 at the first three off ramps south of the state line after 4 in the afternoon. I would also like to find out how many people in Memphis illegally send their kids to Desoto County schools. If Memphis is so wonderful; if Memphis really has these wonderful leaders, why is there such an influx of people moving from there to here?

If those news folks can’t provide a good reason, let them keep their mouths shut.
