Dear Friends, Blind hate requires no logic,Progressives make lives tragic,Gaslight on the go,Hoping it were so,And only think in ways demagogic. A Democrat is a foul mouthed cad,Saying anything they hate is bad,Attacking unfairness,Without self awareness,And their blind hatred makes … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Free healthcare for illegals is grand,Only the heartless wouldn’t join the band,Unlimited money,With jars of honey,And the citizen gets a nail in his hand. A foolish person will cast shade,Projecting in ways retrograde,Give him the mike,We must think … Continue reading

Birds Of A Feather Flock Together
Dear Friends, It seems to me, “birds of a feather flock together.” We can take from this that like-minded people hang out together. Moreover, this suggests that when people hang out together and support one another… they are like-minded. It … Continue reading

Dear Friends, When asked a true believer once vied,It doesn’t matter how many have died,History is gone,You’re a pawn,Because real socialism has never been tried. Bureaucrats consider themselves philosopher kings,With wisdom honor and righteousness the air rings,Far above the law,As … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Hollywood can’t leave it up to fate,A thirst for power they can’t slake,Why’s it going wrong,Singing that old song,Because over politics they self immolate. He called for the murder of kids, (Virginia AG Jay Jones)But it didn’t raise … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Mamdani’s smarmy and scolding,A proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing,Selling absurdity,Later atrocity,And in the end he’ll inspire loathing. Barack Obama is a true hater,A rabid arrogant race baiter,Dumb as a stump,His brain is a lump,And to his foolishness they … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Numbers may not lie,But the BLS sure does try,Snowden’s blurt,Political dirt,Because the deep state is so sly. The heartless are an efficient lot,Always on time and on the dot,Eggs are replaceable,Rights are defaceable,And they’ll end up in a … Continue reading

Lessons From Iran
Dear Friends, It seems to me, people are people and if you push them far enough, they will erupt. Even a rabbit will bite. I have to wonder if that’s what’s happened in Iran? The recent turmoil with hundreds perhaps … Continue reading

Canada And The Central Planning Trap
Dear Friends, It seems to me, Canada is on the path to Venezuela. Venezuela was the richest country in South America after the oil boom. Once the communists gained power it went from the richest to the poorest. Not because … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Obama care made costs skyrocket,Putting big pharma firmly in his pocket,A corruptocrat’s game,Seeking power and fame,And putting our finger in a light bulb socket. Life is just grand for an NPC,They don’t think like you and me,Emotions rule,A … Continue reading →
