First Black President of the United States of America, Barack Obama
Altruist in politics, he being one of the fewest, Obama no drama
Aloha spirited & elegance, known for The Affordable Care Act
#47 tries to taketh away, bet by now you wished #44 was back
Guess who is coming to dinner?
Didn’t expect it
Didn’t even invite
It was the President’s request
Give or take
The President of the United States wants to have dinner at my house
Why my house, go figure
He won’t be a king
I am the king, and it’s my house
Dinner won’t be anything fancy, just cheap
I will order from Burger King, McDonald’s and Chicken Delight
You know the slogan, “Don’t cook tonight call Chicken Delight”
Why should I cook?
The President has prices in a mess
In fact, I feel as a voter, I should be invited to the White House
The President will have to bring the wine if he is going to dine
Since the President is cheap on “We the People”
He will get a taste of his own menu
My house is plain and simple
I should invite the GOP and Democrats to be witnesses at this dinner
Make a party out of it
Invite the media
I intend to show the President in how to be a Humanitarian
I will take action
Just watch me work
The President is lucky I won’t be serving layovers.
July 4th, 1776
Declaration of Independence
A brave path towards our independence from the British
A revolution with courage
Blood spilled on American soil
To fight for our land and freedom
Determination with strong leadership
A tyrant invading our homes
To preserve our American heritage
An instrument of war
A draft document written
13 colonies signing towards our declaration
Philosophy of our human fights
Marveled to become our liberty
The right to defend your very own property
To finely live in prosperity
To be free under sovereignty
On April 30th, 1789
George Washington was sworn in
As the 1st president of the United States of America
Barack Obama*
enabled ICE enforcement
and nobody cared
Hypocrisy:the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform ~Oxford Languages
* 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017
OVERCOMING THE STORM
Into the storm I must venture, knowing that any attempt to flee only prolongs the ravages.
Like any storm, it is relentless and destructive, just as a well-organized group of savages.
It rips and tears at the flesh with sharp talons, trying to gouge deeper into the muscle.
Perceived as high and lofty, it disregards those trying to survive by a legitimate hustle.
The storm of the century has crept into the present timeframe,
offering nothing but clouded truths, in-your-face deceptions, and false narratives.
While poverty sinks its talons deeper into the benefits of Veterans of the United States and the honorably retired, there is no remorse.
It is time to load up all the ammunition of facts and truth and attach it to a rocket.
Push the button, light the match, and for president of the United States, I nominate Jasmine Crockett.
Today’s blessing comes from the 32nd president of the United States
most of us remember him as FDR:
Rules and laws are not necessarily sacred…he said
but principles always are.
Two Presidents convened on this date,
reportedly to negotiate, the end of the
war and Ukraine's fate..
Instead the President of the United States,
and his very arrogant running mate,
chose to publicly bully and intimidate,
cause that's how we "make America great."
President Zelensky didn't take their bait.
He's a man of character, a Presidential trait,
and Ukraine's still a democracy. It's not
the "deep state".
God gave us ability to create crimes.
Each one of these are breaches of laws.
Breaches have been assigned penalties.
Penalties are designed to be equally applied.
Penalties are to prevent crimes from occurring.
Trump was convicted of felonies 34 times.
Therefore, Trump has been a convicted felon.
Convicted felons cannot either be successfully
vetted or pass a National Agency Check (NAC)
by Office of Special Investigation (OSI).
He cannot join the military, cannot be able to
vote or ever be able to receive a security clearance.
He is in violation of Declaration of Independence,
Constitution and Amendments and Articles of
Confederation.
These items were created to prevent a person
from being President of the United States (POTUS)
and should properly be enforced.
It nigh but happened in the US,
LOTUS almost bloomed unto POTUS.
If things turn as they do,
Ere Trump has any clue,
If he loses peace and focus.

No Surrender
There are those who stand proud
and salute when Old Glory is raised
where one has fallen to protect his daughter,
while others surround a wounded president
of these United States of America
who has been grazed by an assassin’s bullet
(as if it were a wake-up call for freedom’s sake
to bear arms to defend that which is rightfully ours)
and rises with his arm raised and fist clenched
and blood on his face, determined to win
(as the sun shone down on Butler, Pennsylvania,
on Saturday, July the thirteenth, two thousand and twenty-four)
under the red, white, and blue Star-Spangled Banner,
"Fight, fight, fight!" No Surrender!

Assassination attempt of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump: Saturday, July 13, 2024, 6:11 PM EDT (UTC–4), Butler, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
I think President Biden, politically, is as dead as fried chicken. He can now quit, he can be replaced ... Or he can run and lose. You can’t successfully run for president of the United States when your campaign slogan is, ‘I’m only senile some of the time,’ as one commentator pointed out today. ~Senator John Kennedy (R), July 5, 2024
All the donkeys start to bray
Please old Joe you cannot stay
And so we plead
You must concede
And graciously just go away.
Sometimes obtuse
Mostly acute
Right on the money
Straight to the point—
You always appeal
To my better angles

The last two lines are a play on words from President Lincoln's first inaugural address when he took the oath of office to become the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln closed with the phrase "... the better angels of our nature." I'm just trying to be honest, Abe :)
The Founder of the Company
The Chief of Staff
The Chairman of the Board
Titles synonymous with 'Lord'
All rise. Pindrop silence
Here comes the Judge
Hearts frantically beat
Tremble as you take your seat
But the President of the United States
What excitement does his presence create
Can you hear that Trumpet call,
Mr Trump, you're about to fall,
The whole world will shout hooray,
When you face your judgement day.
No more lies and foolishness,
When at last you must confess,
To the crime and humiliation,
That you have committed without hesitation,
Or thought of others,
To your so-called sisters and brothers.
Your head should hang in shame,
Using your power to pass on the blame,
To simple people who do not understand,
Politics and the rules of the land.
A country that you had the privilege to rule,
How could a President be so greedy and cruel?
Mr Trump, you've had your day,
You've led too many people astray,
45th President of the United States,
How do you think you will rate,
When your presidency goes down in history,
Half of which will remain a mystery.
Too many hidden secrets and lies,
Historians will find it impossible to devise.
Mr Trump, most won't care a hoot,
When they march you off in an orange suit!
I took a career assessment test when I was twelve.
I apparently have more in common with race car drivers
than any other people who have careers and like them
That’s not going to work! My counselor said.
You are a female. Females are not race car drivers.
I instantly despised him for this.
My second match was football player.
Also not working in 1964.
Let’s look at your third choice, he said.
The third choice was President of the United States.
What is wrong with you? He asked me.
What is wrong with you? I wondered.
