Law and Order

So, it starts years ago, with protests in the streets
People allowed to lay on the road, block traffic
Then, start fires, attack police, as they’re told to stand down!
Criminals with 18+ offenses free to roam as they please
Thousands others were released from prisons by Obama
Illegal immigrants were allowed to surge into our country
All while violating laws, without consequence!

Now, we have a new president accused of obstruction
While Congresswoman Pelosi, obstructs congress
Withholding articles of impeachment, after the vote!
Hollywood actors and actresses are threatening our president
Even offering to accept money to assassinate him, take his head!
All of this without consequence!

We have the group ANTIFA attacking supporters at rallies
Assaulting people, spitting in their face, without consequence
Then, we have sanctuary cities protecting illegal immigrants
They don’t even allow ICE to do their job accordingly!
Instead, they release them onto our streets to be free,
With prior records of rape and murder!


Now, we have all these problems with Iran happening
But if you look back in time, Obama sent 1.7 billion dollars
He sent the money on pallets to Iran, funneled to terrorists!
All of this was without consequence, no accountability!
This is only touching upon part of what is happening 
These are things happening in the United States!
We are losing law and order and without it we will fall!

A FAV!When you post like this, you are swimming against the current here! How I admire you for that! And you might be disliked for speaking your mind. Too bad, truth trumps popularity. Don't even use the word "vent"~ it takes the wind out of the sails of your message. Yes the billions "O" gave them, were used for weaponry that was dropped on USA troops.how nice?Thanks, you fine courageous Poetess! Riled up~ applies to a person out of control, in my book. Hardly you. Panagiota xx

Chris' comment below, citing Nikki Hailey says it all. Sounds like you're pretty riled up about all this. Thanks for letting it out. Best wishes, Gershon

And he sent that cash secretly without letting anyone know...where was the outrage from the Dems over that...didn't happen. Really loud and spot on my friend. It is like Nikki Hailey said this morning, the only people outside of Iran who are mourning the death of that terrorist are the Democrats. That should say something...

Chris..Dems are working with Iran, probably promising 100 million. Anything to get elected in 2020. Good luck! They think "they" are the President, whom they think stole the election from Hillary~ OMG. Panagiota-)) Panagiota
