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.
I voted for him when he ran for President of the United States.
Sadly, he died on December the 5th at the age of ninety-eight.
Bob Dole fought and nearly died during the second World War.
If it hadn't been for men like him, we wouldn't have freedom anymore.
When it came time for him to fight for the United States, Dole willingly fought.
But when it was time for Bill Clinton to serve his country in Vietnam, he did not.
Bob Dole fought for his country and was even paralyzed.
When Clinton beat him in the 1996 election, I was surprised.
Dole was a Senator and in 1976, he was Gerald Ford's running mate.
He was a great man and he left this world at the age of ninety-eight.
[Dedicated to Senator Bob Dole (1923-2021) who died on December 5, 2021]
The President of the United States called last night,
he spoke most curtly, demanding to know her middle name.
She sent him packing with a stinging rebuke.
Her middle name is Gertrude;
that secret she will take to her grave.
Powerful people have always sought her out.
Edison visited in the summer months,
he proposed many times,
but a man that would electrocute an elephant
just to make a fake point
could never have turned her head.
Poor Topsy.
She enjoys the half-light now,
dreams of other voice that had wooed her.
Sometimes she spies little Gertrude
peeking over the foot of her bed,
but she is not at all ready to permit her existence.
Elderly hands cover eyes.
Gertrude has taken on a life of her own
a neglected life but still able to come when called
or to follow behind or hide in the middle
of those other names.
The lady has kept many a romantic secret.
Most of her best erotic memories
she has written down with a fine cursive hand,
she keeps these missives in a carboard box
under her bed.
Perhaps with a tinge of remorse,
upon the box lid, she has printed the legend:
‘For Gertrude when I am gone.’
When I was your age some bad guys bombed a church
In the deep south, and four Sunday School girls were murdered
The President of the United States was assassinated
And then his brother was gunned down
We saw this in black, white and gray,
On TV sets that are smaller than your computer monitor.
It was a crazy, uncertain, scary time, and we were fearful.
Told the Russians were going to kill us with an atomic bomb
Some of us had bomb shelters.
We also had drills at school
Where we hid under flimsy desks
Putting our hands over our heads.
Elvis Presley came out and wiggled
And our mothers and fathers shut off the TV
We were told he was a bad guy
When I was your age.
Tonight I’ll watch the Yankees
On TV and I can’t wait,
Though the stands will sit there empty;
Loyal fans can’t congregate.
For me, the highlight’s sure to be
The first pitch, always tossed
By a person on whom such an honor
Won’t be seen as lost.
I’ve heard that POTUS* turned it down,
A movement many viewed
As self-preserving, since he would
Be obviously booed.
The final choice is quite a treat
For it is Dr. Fauci,
Who’ll make millions cheer while also
Making POTUS extra grouchy!
*President of the United States
