Godspeed Jimmy Carter

• December 29, 2024

I am sad to hear of President Jimmy Carter’s passing and while I am in Georgia at this time just a few miles from Plains I will simply send my condolences to the family from here, rather than visiting in person, while I continue my journey home to Alabama.

Mr. Carter and Roslyn occupied the White House during my high school years when I was honored to be elected first as President of my junior class and then reelected to serve as President of my senior graduating class of ’80, and so I’ve enjoyed a rare affinity with other members of “the presidents club.”

The politics of the day led by President Carter was impactful on myself and others and are times that will always be remembered. Life does have its limits so RIP and Godspeed to Jimmy as I’m sure he and Roslyn will be gratefully together again.

He is a total fraud. Advertisement

The current, totally ridiculous, classification of THC by the FDA causes weed to run afoul of various federal laws and that then creates a regulation gridlock. The answer is simple.
