Copperhead means—referred to a group of Northern Democrats who were also known as Peace Democrats. They opposed the Civil War and favored an immediate peace settlement with the Confederates. The name “Copperhead” was used pejoratively by their opponents and was derived from the venomous snake, the eastern copperhead, symbolizing their perceived treacherous and sneaky nature.
Doughface means—Typically it was applied to a Northern Democrat who was more often allied with the Southern Democrats than with the majority of Northern Democrats. In the years leading up to the United States Civil War, "Doughface" was used to describe Northerners who espoused sympathies with the Southern Slave Power.   Muscovites--Russians

[ There will be AID to the three Countries mentioned in my "Speaker" this means the children who are starving shall get aid, now!  Ukraine's aid will help them to fight off Russian aggression! Last but not least Taiwan to defend themselves from Chinese aggression! ] This is thanks to the speaker of the house who introduces the bills to the house of representatives before they continue to the senate, very important! Because of him; Aid shall happen.

Speaker, speaker I'm listening... You’re doing the right thing! Unswayed from Kremlin propaganda Isn’t how our country should swing Faith changed; policies rearranged Soul-searching, amazing grace you’ve seen the light Unveilings of the autocrat, Eluded the venomous snake bite Boldly repelled the takeover of the Muscovite Three foreign aid bills, thanks to you and Democrats! Aid to Orient’s Formosa! Aid to Eastern Europe! Aid to Middle East! Unwavering commitments A revelation at the least God’s saintly ears? Send hope to the starving children of war and genocide Listen to their screams and let them feast They need YOU! by their side Foreign war package they say does nothing for America, Yet …it bolsters our reputation and saves our souls! Keeps our sons and daughters home, out of harms way Speaker, speaker Oyez! Oyez! Now women need your help with rights of the Miranda …---...SOS …---... This will unfold, as I shall explain, Again and again, more propaganda There is a time for trifle idling, there’s always time to dilly dally With hard won rights now unbridling But as for now, for our rights we rally Crucial help for those will finally arrive Good folks, unlike the Copperheads of yesteryear, Or the Doughfaces, who let it happen, no ego here just strive Women don’t live in fear! Speaker, speaker I’m listening... First and fourth amendment, 1864 Gone now, it isn’t anymore Criminalizing women Criminalize their travel Pull over and pee on the strip! Cops shall ask you for a pregnancy test Ill fated, before you even begin your trip Soon you’ll be stopped from your life’s zest God’s saintly ears? Send hope to the starving children of war and genocide And for women’s automony A unsettling Ad just viewed Young women pulled over Not an exaggeration Speaker, speaker, I’m listening… Your own want you gone, Because to the other side you compromise and fawn, All is music in God’s saintly ears? You did good as statesmen should, risking all I quote you now when you say, “Let the chips fall where they may”

Since I am Maltese, I will bypass the pollical (though I do agree with them). Let's stand up for what is right. I'm fed up with this corrupt world. Great poem.

Just thought of the day's events, very important for starving children and dying women who no longer have a say with integrity of their own bodies! Sorry but it has to be political, dear Victor, trust me, hugs ;)

A passionate plea for reason and common sense to prevail. In my poem, Humpty Dumpty - The Sequel, I also touched on the subject of lawmakers speaking ostensibly for all.

"The bell hung by its strong cannon. The bell knelled for lost key tenon. All the righteous and all the judges’ men Witnessed her tumble down the steep court stairs." Fascinating its emphasis on the abortion rights....VIVA LA FRANCE! ;)

Dear Anaya, what a great passionate plea for action and justice, blending together themes of political integrity, humanitarian aid, and women's rights. I love that it’s a powerful call to resist propaganda and uphold moral principles, even in the face of adversity. Your words highlight the importance of unwavering commitment to truth and righteousness, urging leaders to prioritize the well-being of the marginalized and oppressed. Thank you for using your voice to advocate for those who need it most and all of our duty to stand up for what is right. - Blessings, Daniel

Especially in the face of adversity, we need to stand, shoulder to shoulder. I hear the calling and shall continue with my strong beliefs for humaties rights. I thank you, Daniel, you're a wonderful listener and commentator, and constructive critic, when need be. Hugs, ~Anaya

Agree, agree, agree, Anaya. Finally, someone (other than Mike Pence on Jan 6, 2001) who stood up for what was/is the right thing to do, at great risk to his own career. I hope the GOP does not depose Johnson. He seems to have his head screwed on right. Nice job, Anaya. Here's to the coming week! Excelsior! ~ Gershon
