Headline News Today

Headlines are all about the Sussexes and royal Palace news I hurry past them because I don't care about their issues Seems to be about betrayal, and which side will win out Too much attention is paid to them, their money and clout Everyone has an opinion, and if you differ that's alright, There's so much more than we know about their plight. I have no respect Camilla or Charles, adulterers, the pair It's awful that Harry's long been referred to as the 'spare' It'd probably be best for everyone if Harry would let it go I understand, maybe not, the road the Sussexes had to tow If I chose a side, it would be Megan and ginger-haired Harry Maybe it's true the Royal family didn't want them to marry. It could be that race played a role in many of their troubles That's for them to work out while living in privileged bubbles. It might be true, I don't know, what tabloids have written but it seems the young prince and his bride are truly smitten. It's big news on both sides of the pond now that they moved. We have our own dissension now that McCarthy's approved. It was a literal fight for him to become Speaker of the House He sold his soul for the position, which makes him a louse. Kissed the ring of Trump after calling him guilty of treason, There lies the mark of a politician...selfish beyond reason. I'm so sick of hearing about Donald running again in 2024 Vengeance he seeks against those who oppose his civil war. I don't buy newspapers or read tabloid gossip magazines Don't care about royal princes, or their kings and queens but Americans need leaders who'll uphold our Democracy, not ones whose bureaucratic words reek with hypocrisy.

Very enlightening, Jenna, as I'm literally clueless about the Poli-World. I see pics of brothers walking and not talking, then talking and not walking, along with the appropriate captions beneath headlines splashed in bold print. Admittedly, Harry's more about town in the social circuit than William who's more royal court and family role. As for Trump-De Santis 2024--ugh! The impetus of my clueless factor is being realized. An enjoyable exposé you've composed, Aloha William

Still the headline about Harry - his brother William pushing him, made me laugh. If you hang out with brothers this is the norm and the little brother is always fighting to be on top. Also every royal gossips and backbites it seems. Look at the whole lot. I do admire Queen Elizabeth II still I never knew her personally so who knows. My mom threw a tea party when Harry and Meghan got married. I miss my mom! She was the queen that day that commanded our attention. We watched at the onset. <3

I agree with this poem from top to finish "He sold his soul for the position, which makes him a louse." this I really agree with.

Good one Jenna....methinks it's all a bit of "wag the dog" eh? as real world threats like...we are closer to nuclear war than ever in history, yes, the end of current reality....COVID vaccine injuries and sudden cardiac deaths now even admitted by who & cdc ..but what global entity is behind it, and what's to gain? nothing to see here, it's football playoff weekend!

Thank you very much, James. It's much better to enjoy the playoffs than to dwell on the wickedness in the world. I'll be joining you.

It's a sad world we live in, but there are some good things as well. I try to focus on the good, but it is not an easy task.

Looking for a silver lining in every tragedy is a good idea. It's too bad that there isn't always one. Thanks, Mark.

Jenna, a great poem, it's too bad there's so much corruption and dishonesty out there!

It's a sad state we're in when childish pettiness by politicians takes precedence over the welfare of the country. Thanks so much, Jo.

Jenna, wonderful writing, you have an amazing gift! Agree the Royals and the political scenes play out like Soap Operas which I have never been fond of, well done, Constance

Hi Joe. Too many people pay more attention to kings and queens, presidents and dissidents than they do to God, when it's only His opinion that counts.

you have written this so well, jenna! i enjoyed your take on the latest headlines and i am in full agreement. i bet that nancy pelosi is getting a kick out of all the mccarthy stuff on some level, although she's too honorable to have wanted it to go on as long as it did.

Right, Ilene. The gop’s petty arguments were power plays. Certainly not in the country’s best interest. Government shut down while they maneuvered for positions. Thanks for the read and comments.

You go girl! I chose Harry as well, though I don't devote much time to all of that but it seems inescapable!! Happy Tuesday xxoo

Thanks, Mike. He seems sincere in his delivery.

It's getting to the stage now where I get more of a kick out of watching paint dry. Kings and Queens are from a bygone era, there is no longer a British Empire, an empire that has got blood on its hands. Not sure of this Mccarthy fella, I'm not a big fan of politics here or anywhere else. Well written Jenna. Tom

Same controversies over and over. I don't want to hear about anyone's dirty laundry. McCarthy berated and cursed Trump for doing nothing while he and the rest of Congress were being attacked on 1/6. Not long after that, McCarthy went to Mar-a Lago to make nice with Trump. It took a record number of GOP votes for him to be selected as Speaker of the House, and to get the position he had to make many concessions. He got the title but sold himself out to bang his gavel. Nancy Pelosi must have loved it.

Trump would be king; Harry can't. Donnie is a megalomaniac; The Spare is a pawn to his wife's desires. Fractured entities on a world stage. The ocean is a more richly interesting topic. Perhaps a papillion? Thx 4 posting, JL. ;~]

He would if he could, he just tried to act like he was royalty. I'm sure Megan has influence over Harry, but he's an adult and only he knows the truth about what went on behind palace walls. I'm intrigued by what lies deep in the ocean, but it's not domain. Too many sharks in those depths. Butterflies live for too short a span. Thanks, AP.

Jenna, I feel the same way. There's far too much in the news, and most of it repetitive about the snooty royals. Politics has gotten so far out of line that it's no longer about serving the people. It's about self-serving themselves. You've made excellent cases about the tedium of reading any of it. Well done! Milt would've loved this one ;)
