Go, Nancy, Go

Seems the Chinese are saber-rattling near Taiwan Making the headlines and stoking some fears, While the Speaker of the House has moved on To be greeted in the Far East with lots of cheers. I say, “Go, Nancy, go!” Let all the world know We are not afraid of those nations who bluster Americans, free to travel from Paris to Borneo, Or, wherever, as an 82-year-old, I do trust her! Would that we had more ladies of her capacity Our nation would be in a much better condition, We have far too many men of rank mendacity Taking our country rapidly into awful perdition.

I think it is amazing what she has done and will continue to do. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is no doubt cheering from her heaven seat.

I think so, too, Caren. And my what flak this women has taken from the far right. Shameful. She's 82 and still clickin'.

A very complex woman! One day she sports a fantastic bust, the next she is flat as a pancake, yet still has her wits about her! She never feared Trump, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, nor Putin or his dog! Aloha!

She has taken a lot of flak, but I admire any woman of her age who is still as actively involved as she is. She's sort of like the energizer bunny. Frankly, I never noticed her bust.

She is, indeed, Ilene. I wish I had her energy and pizzazz!

I'm with you Milton, if the Chinese don't like it tough I say. We need more like her to stand up to the bullies in the world. Tom

I think so, too, Tom. She has a lot of guts!
