Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Reflections on America's Independence Day

 
  We naturally reflect on America’s past 
    this July 4, 2026, Independence Day
       Could be America’s last
       So, take a minute to pray 

  With Momdani running New York
     Muslims to ban Christianity, alcohol and pork
  As corporations flee Katie Wilson’s Seattle
     #1 company there soon will be 
       ‘Gramma’s Baby Rattles’ 

   In Chicago, there’s Brandon Johnson
     who doesn’t like to call a thug a thug
     even when all they do is kill and mug
  Progressive judges sentence them to summer camp in Wisconsin

  (And if AOC is elected President in November of 2028
     She’ll serve up free LSD and cannabis on the White House lawn)

  So, let’s hope that by the time July 4, 2029 comes around
     Putinville, Iowa won’t be America’s premiere town

Kim Rodrigues June 5, 2026 at 12:06 PM Our country was made great little by little with the hope of freedom and rights, however it is being destroyed from within with nefarious agents bringing immorality into view. Freedom has never meant do whatever you want. It gives people the ability to choose life via God and a true love that knows the difference between good and evil. More could be said. Very good, my friend!

Ilene Bauer June 5, 2026 at 11:14 AM We have some different viewpoints, Gershon, but I think we are in agreement that America right now it not what it used to be and certainly not what it’s supposed to be. I will be out of the country on July 4th and see no reason for celebrating right now. Sad! John Lawless June 6, 2026 at 5:34 AM so if I have a "bad" year should I NOT celebrate my birthday? Gershon Wolf June 5, 2026 at 3:14 PM You're right, Ilene. Celebrations seem forced this year.... And you have soup mail. ~ Gershon

Joseph P. DiMino June 5, 2026 at 3:46 AM Brilliant! A FAV! Thank you, Gershon. Could not have been said better. Rigged elections in DEM states is major issue. We need election reform. Mail-in ballots only for age and medical related exemptions and for the military. Everyone else in person and ID to prove citizenship. California style elections are a disgrace, an affront to Democracy. Power should be in the hands of the people and not political thugs. Gershon Wolf June 5, 2026 at 3:06 PM Appreciate the FAVE, Joe. At this point, the poison is like the creature with many heads --- you kill one, and two new ones pop up. What to do?
