Premium Member Saigon Times

Why have we not opened our heart borders to the truly desperate,
To the men and women of Afghanistan
Who've fought long and hard for basic human rights,
Now we're leaving them behind in the shadows of wicked knives.

We've known for some time that Kabul would fall.
So why haven't we emptied our embassy yet?
Have we forgotten the hard lesson from Hillary's Benghazi?

Again, we've tried in jest to lipstick the bride of Frankenstein.
In vain we tried making her into a runway model. 
The devil wins yet again.

Joe, if you have one last flicker of light left. 
Don't leave our loyal friends and war dogs behind.
Like we did back in those bloody Saigon times.


Premium Member A Role Model For the Ages

Hillary, dear Hillary—where do we begin?
In your tale of deceit and corrupt political spin.
First lady, poor victim—
‘Vast Right Wing’ to blame,
A Chicago born, carpet bagging, New Yorker—how lame.
For over four decades, you ruthlessly fought,
Every virtuous ideal the forefathers sought.
With convictions as sound—as a lifeboat that sinks,
You’re a Chameleon, Hyena, a slithering snake,
  who for votes flip flops often—just whatever it takes!

Stolen funds meant for Haiti, Clerical errors to blame,
at the foundation “helping po folks,” that bears your last name,
  problem is—no one knows, where this ‘help’ can be seen.
  while your net worth exponentially expands to obscene!
Fat chance ‘crooked Hillary,’ parts with the cash  
  from your “pay to play” system, illegal and brash.
Your condescension exceeds, what most tolerate,
  like a child who needs spanking, or a belligerent inmate.
The fawning from media, won’t take you to task,
  over emails, Benghazi, Russian Uranium—they won’t ask!

Liberals, dead voters, and criminals don’t care,
  ‘bout your pile of dead bodies, or ELITIST fanfare.
Just a history of coincidences—corpses intact,
  and secret home email server, foreign governments hacked.
  while two former presidents’ lies had your back!
You’re the Eva Perón of the United States,
Your red badge of courage—a life of mistakes
As queen of all feminists, their abortion namesake
Whose politically correct mantra remains,
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

Premium Member Girl With the Gimlet Eyes

Her golden hair and gimlet eyes
Caught me completely by surprise.
With her I felt virile and strong                                                      
As she slowly led me along.                                     
Into her dark web I was drawn                               
Only to be her little pawn.
                                                                                
Her secrets I feel I must share
But she will track me anywhere- 
To Benghazi, Rio, and Cathay.
She now seeks to put me away
With no need of high-powered lead, 
Loving subtle poisons instead.

I seem to hold a dead man’s hand
As I scurry from land to land.
Carefully choosing what I eat
All my travels must be discrete.
I now move around in disguise
Avoiding words that are unwise.

Just a shadow on the world stage, 
Seeking a journal to confess
Where she will be without redress
As it spreads wide my sorry tale
Stripping her empire of its veil
Before she crumbles in her rage.

Daily I fear knocks on my door
Stretched in darkness beneath my bed  
With pounding heart and aching head 
Awaiting my next meal in dread 
That fresh pizza will be, instead, 
Puffer fish pie to square her score.

Premium Member Flesh and Time

War elephants and jackasses
with their endless stomping and braying
from Saigon to Afghanistan.

Siamese scripts depicting
blood for oil
death for profit
blood for lithium
death for "prophet".

From tricky dicky's Saigon saga
to  
Hidin' Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal debacle
to
Obama's sacrificial lamb ambassador in Benghazi
to 
Mr. Peanut's 444 days of terror in Tehran

(It's all been a horrible waste of time and flesh).

Nothing gained 
from a half-century of war
the grunts and the poor always pay
when terror regains the reins.

You cannot ever scrub clean the stains of a bad regime.

Premium Member Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton


Mrs. Clinton, First Lady, became
well-known fem of political fame;
   special policies made
   and with Whitewater, played
that long, fact-finding, criminal game.

Later she became Senator, won
New York State in two-thousand and one.
    Sponsored new bills galore,
    Total passed...numbered four
during two terms before she was done.

Secretary of State her next move.
Tried to help ties with nations improve. 
   She attracted the news
   which would sometimes confuse...
disapprove, turn around, then approve.

Like, ambassador killed...much at stake;
everywhere was announced this newsbreak.
   But Benghazi assault
   was judged not by her fault,
"for what difference now does it make?"

Quite politically savvy was she
backed up big with support...was to be
     voted in President
     but more votes, counted, went
to elect her proclaimed enemy.

Some insist, missing emails to blame;
that her server was wiped, what a shame.
   But done just "with a cloth"
   she declared by her troth,
so her innocence, we must proclaim!

Now, one thing that she did very well...
she stood up for her man through that hell
   of Lewinsky's blue dress,
   as he did so confess...
more worth staying than bidding farewell.

Premium Member The Teflon Queen

The Teflon Queen
  

That Hillary Clinton- our own Teflon Queen-            
or others might say- just a harsh 'queen of mean'?
Mistakes and misdeeds disappear quite unseen
by blinded supporters who think she's pristine.

Whitewater's long scandal was never resolved-
and Travelgate, Filegate- two more never solved.
With Teflon's smooth coating, so thick, undissolved-
she slipped right on by- that she was not involved.

Along with Vince Foster- we add forty-five
who met their sad death, possibly did contrive-
for each had a tie to the Clinton 'beehive'.
Go search out the Web for the facts that survive.

Ambassador killed, with the details opaque-
upsetting it was when this sad news did break.
Benghazi, her nightmare- not her piece of cake!
Her answer- "What difference now does it make?"

Ignoring Chris Stevens' "please help" all along,
so boring to her- that annoying singsong.
She turned a blind eye!  But slick Teflon stayed strong.
And then, once again, she slid out of a wrong.

And, what of those missing emails- such a shame!
It was a no brainer- she should take the blame.
Her server was wiped- with a cloth- she did claim!
"She's innocent"- followers blindly proclaim!  

None other than power and glory- her needs,
so evident in her self-gaining, masked deeds.
The Clinton Foundation grows with stealthy seeds
of donors repaid for cloaked greedy misdeeds.

She slipped through the cracks for unethical acts,
but still to this day, blames all others with facts
for losing her throne- from the truth, she distracts.
To stop Teflon Queen, voters' choice now impacts.

Premium Member Ode To President Trump

Ode To President Trump

Benghazi fatal fiasco where four Americans and NOT illegal aliens met their fatal end and for that reason was the impetus of me casting my vote for him and not for her.
Trump is a businessman and by hook or crook, the American people and its economic future are stronger.
The impeachment vote falls along party lines with the House leaning left and the Senate leaning right.
I am guessing people are afraid to align themselves with somebody who is been demonized by Democrats, whereto, I am not. As I speak on behalf of the Republican party, I am unashamed but have due respect for those who choose otherwise, because we, Americans, have the freedom of choice and we should be proud and not waver along the fence of indecisiveness.
I and my working family who does not live on government handouts will vote for Trump again.
God bless the American people
God bless America
