Henry on the border.
Obviously. You just have to think it through.
At first, I was a bit taken aback when I saw this:
Gov. @henrymcmaster is headed Friday-Saturday to the southern border, where he’ll receive briefings and meet with @SCNationalGuard members on the ground. #sctweets https://t.co/thwxLB7gyG

All I could think at first was, “Huh. I didn’t realize that was in any way the governor’s responsibility.”
In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s not. Nor should it be. Unless I’m looking at the map wrong. I mean, I’m about as sure as I can be that South Carolina doesn’t even come close to bordering on Mexico, so… how does it get to be a state issue? Well, it doesn’t. It isn’t.
Of course, this brings up a festering question: What in the world are South Carolina National Guard troops doing down there, anyway? Were they federalized for this purpose? I vaguely remember something like this happening in the course of one of the many insane nightmares of the past four years, but I guess I had blocked it out. It’s rather startling, in an unpleasant way, to be told they’re still there…
But then I got to thinking further about it, and it suddenly hit me that this was very good news!
Think about it: If Henry’s got time to do this, taking a vacation from his duties and all, it means everything that is actually his job has been taken care of. South Carolina is now perfect. COVID is gone. Everyone has healthcare coverage. Our schools are the best in the country. Racism, which seemed to be making a big comeback, is flat gone. Malfunction Junction? Fixed, without running an Interstate through my front yard.
And Yankees have stopped coming down and overcrowding all our beaches. This must be. Otherwise, everybody in South Carolina would be rising up and saying, “Henry! What the hell are you doing down there? Get back here and fix this mess!”
Awesome! As y’all know, I was for the other guy in 2018. But how was I to know that Henry would SC perfect, in less than three years? I’m just blown away.
And remember, you read the good news here first…

Wait! Is that… is that the Wall? Is Henry posing at the Wall itself? My, my…
