ELIZABETHTOWN —The Bladen County Sheriff’s Office and Elizabethtown Police OVER Department joined forces to conduct an under- cover operation over the last eight months and, on Saturday, that effort paid off with the arrest of a local drug dealer.

Jose Serrano (D-New York) — once again — to push a bill in Congress that would repeal the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that places term limits on the office of president. Serrano himself is a career politician, currently serving his 12th term in office. And he’s been at this since 1997, when he first introduced a similar resolution during President Clinton’s second term. He also proposed the bill in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011. Liberals will hail his persistency, espe- cially as they have pipe dreams of an Obama presidency for life campaign, but right-minded Americans should see Serrano as clueless and guilty of wasting Congress’ time. The 22nd Amendment was passed by Congress in 1947 and ratified by 41 states over the next four years. America’s first president, George Washington, set a precedent of serving just two terms in office that all presidents who came after him followed, with just one exception: Franklin D. Roosevelt. It’d be better if parties were relevant Roosevelt served three full terms in office and died during his fourth term at the age few weeks ago, the do their own fundraising, and build special-interest backing. of 83.

Nationwide Standings 1. Brad Keselowski If not for an overheating issue late in Fontana (while running fifth), Keselowski would most likely be five- DRIVER (WINS) POINTS BEHIND for-five in the top-5 finishes category. The defending champ has come out swinging. 1. Sam Hornish Jr. (1) 210 — 2. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Junior has a quintet of top-10 runs thus far in 2013. He will not ascend to the top of this list until the 2. Regan Smith 182 -28 No. 88 team proves it can win on a consistent basis. 3. Brian Scott 179 -31 3. Jimmie Johnson You just know ace crew chief Chad Knaus has used the off-weekend to widen the chasm between 4. Justin Allgaier 178 -32 teams that have and have not figured out the nuances of the Gen-6 car. 5. Austin Dillon 172 -38 4. Matt Kenseth Not surprisingly, the veteran Kenseth has comfortably made the transition to Joe Gibbs Racing in a 6. Trevor Bayne 163 -47 seemless manner. In fact, he may be ranked a bit low on this list. 7. Kyle Larson 156 -54 8. Parker Kligerman 154 -56 5. Kyle Busch Busch is riding a three-race streak that has witnessed finishes of fourth or better, punctuated by a 9. Elliott Sadler 154 -56 dramatic win at Auto Club Speedway. This bunch is going to be hard to handle this season. 10. Alex Bowman 152 -58 6. Kasey Kahne Kahne and crew chief Kenny Francis have a full season under their belts at Hendrick Motorsports. The duo has led the No. 5 team to consecutive showings of second, first and ninth. Truck Standings 7. Carl Edwards Somewhat of a feast or famine team, the No. 99 bunch has a win (Phoenix) and two additional top-5 DRIVER (WINS) POINTS BEHIND runs in 2013. Those showings are offset by 18th- and 33rd-place stinkers. 1. Johnny Sauter (1) 47 — 8. Greg Biffle Going about things the way only Biffle can. Through five races, he has zero top 5s and two top 10s, yet 2. Ron Hornaday Jr. 41 -6 finds himself fourth in the point standings. He’s nothing if not consistent. 3. Justin Lofton 41 -6 9. Paul Menard Menard’s No. 27 Richard Childress Racing team are off to their annual semi-hot start, with three top 4. Ty Dillon 40 -7 10s and an average run of 13.6. The question this year, as it is every year, is can they sustain it? 5. Jeb Burton 39 -8 10. Ryan Newman Yes, he’s an uninspiring 20th in the point standings, but Newman is actually carrying the Stewart-Haas 6. Miguel Paludo 37 -10 Racing banner with three top 10s. Like Edwards, this is a feast or famine group, albeit without a “W.” 7. Ryan Blaney 36 -11 8. Matt Crafton 35 -12 11. Clint Bowyer Can this team avoid the dreaded championship runner-up hangover? The thinking here is they can. 9. Ryan Sieg 34 -13 12. Joey Logano How about a nickname change, from “Sliced Bread” to “The Tempest.” 10. Todd Bodine 34 -13 13. Tony Stewart It’s been a tough go thus far for Stewart, but he’s too good to stay down long. 14. Kurt Busch With two straight top 5s, Busch is delivering results to Furniture Row Racing’s potential. Compiled and written by Matt Taliaferro. 15. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The rookie has completed every lap thus far this season and is 12th in points. Nice start, kid.
