What we don’t know

We don’t know what we don’t know. We do know we won’t be told what they do know. Just a privileged few were informed. A very limited investigation was allowed and we’re not told who was questioned, nor whether the questioners had expertise in that. We’re told no polygraphs were used, but not why. We do know there were a good number who asked to be interviewed but were not. We’re not told why.

Suffice it to say that if they don’t want answers that differ from what they want, then just don’t ask those who claim to have information. No, friends, we got a fast shuffle so the Republicans could put a partisan judge on the Supreme Court for life.

Full and public examination of the judge’s record of work for Kenneth Starr wasn’t allowed, nor whether he advocated for torture while serving George W. Bush.

Like the local press, it’s what they don’t tell you that is damaging to us in the long term. Merrick Garland was not even given a hearing so that the black president would be frustrated in any way possible, as they’d promised.

Governor Asa’s first college degree and the first lady’s, as well as his brother’s, was from Bob Jones University. It seems he left that out of his biography online before the last election. Now you get religious-themed laws signed by him. We either fight them or we must live their religion. Next to catering to the wealthy, it seems his priority.

Folks, we have the best government money can buy—and they bought it. The love of money is the root of evil. Don’t you wonder why the evangelicals funded and back this mess? I sure do! KARL HANSEN Hensley
