Friday Fish Fry: In our time of crisis, where's Jerry Brown when we really need him?

From Gaetz to RFK Jr. to the dog-shooting governor of South Dakota, are we in good hands?

CERTIFY THIS ... I'm sure President-Elect Trump will be understanding when sitting Vice President Kamala Harris refuses to certify the Electoral College vote on January 6, 2025, since that decision is hers and hers alone as declared by Donald Trump himself on January 6, 2021.

A CHANGE IN BORDER STRATEGY ... After realizing that rounding up 20 million undocumented immigrants and shipping them out of the country would require so much manpower that it might bankrupt the federal government, Donald Trump has announced he will now be deporting all cats and dogs instead and hopes the immigrants will follow them out of the country.

SPEAKING OF DOGS ... I think the appointment of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as head of homeland security is a good one. After all, in her recent attempt at writing a book she openly bragged about how she taught her puppy a tough lesson by shooting it in the head, and heaven knows we already have enough dogs in this country.

In terms of keeping an eye on our homeland's security, it's the Canadian border she should be worried about as confused and terrified Harris supporters try to migrate north to Manitoba.

Let's build a wall and have Canada pay for it.

THERE'S ALWAYS A LOCAL ANGLE ... In 2016, when Bernie Sanders was trying to wrest the Democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton, he brought his whirlwind campaign to the UC Davis intramural field just behind the campus baseball stadium.

This, after he had broken bread with his staff at our local Black Bear Diner in an attempt to show everyone he was just a regular guy.

Bernie brought an opening act with him on that beautiful afternoon and she gave him a rousing introduction.

Her name: Tulsi Gabbard.

THE DOCTOR IS IN ... I didn't realize RFK Jr. had gone to medical school, but I'm sure he'll do a fine job resurrecting polio, measles, mumps, rabies and smallpox.

What a wild ride we are all in for.
