Grassroots Versus Astro Turf
Dear Friends, It seems to me we live in an AstroTurfed world. Nothing we see is organic. Everything we are allowed to see is fabricated to form and protect a narrative to enable the extraction to continue. When social media … Continue reading

Dear Friends, When you’ve vilified someone to dithers,But they refuse to attack from the withers,A false flag will do,Another one too,From the faction that sneaks and slithers. Violent leftists and media are in bed,Telling a story not right in the … Continue reading

Government Accountability
Dear Friends, It seems to me, if an accountant messes up your taxes, a plumber ruins your plumbing, or an electrician shorts out your wiring, they are accountable to repair it… a government should be just as accountable for its … Continue reading

Dear Friends, There once was a senator shrill,She came across as a bitter pill,Ranting away,A donkeys’ bray,With her hand in big pharma’s till. Migrant workers undercut our wages,As the deadly fentanyl crisis rages,The elite don’t care,Aliens on welfare,And H1-b visas … Continue reading

The UN
Dear Friends, It seems to me, the UN is one example of how utterly corrupt, irrelevant, and counterproductive central planning must become. At that prestigious institution highly paid functionaries debate world events with all the gusto, intellect, and effect as … Continue reading

Law Serves The Unreasonable
Dear Friends, It seems to me, villains don’t follow the law, they exploit the law, while patsies follow the law and are exploited by it. Why? Because the law serves the politically favored unreasonable. Even as the politically disfavored reasonable … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Arguments for war bounce about like a cue ball in pool,Dictate from a throne and fought by people on a stool,It’s a protected club,But here’s the rub,If they shouldn’t have nukes they shouldn’t rule. Our Constitution gets in … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Don’t attack Bondie she’s doing her job,Ducking and clucking for an inky blob,She doesn’t serve us,A double standard cuss,And faithfully serving her master Boss Hogg. The elite in the administrative state are the anointed,Democratically elected are overruled by … 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 →
