The concrete barriers were in place, the iron fence was nine feet high and topped with razor wire
The 25,000 troops were camped out days in advance should another march of protesters transpire
It seems two weeks earlier a pack of goobers stormed the Capitol and caught Washington with it’s pants down
“That can’t happen again” screamed all “We must make sure the inauguration is orderly when the man receives his crown
So, much like Hitler and Kim Jong-un reviewing their troops a call was ordered to all the National Guard from surrounding states
This excessive show of force shows no logic as the inauguration will be private and no one is to be allowed through the gates
Since the man rarely pokes his head out in public the taxpayers would have been better served by spending the funds involved on the covid pandemic
Maybe this points to a small man whose show of force seems purely academic
A private ceremony in the White House reception area with family and friends should have sufficed
And a week of a close quarter “super spreader” and time with family by the encamped troops need not to have been sacrificed
The inauguration will only be day one and the man has already shown he has no limit to spending when he has his hands on taxpayer’s money
And in the first 100 days he will demonstrate he will drain America’s future and that will strike no one as funny
There was an old lady that lived in a shoe
She controlled the phone company and there was nothing anyone could do
She ruled with an iron fist, she owned the land lines, the rates and most of the the phones
She alone decided what you’d pay to use her phones and there was no choice in dial tones
She made you pay for party lines, more for private lines and way more for a long distance call
She owned the yellow pages and their crazy rates for a ¼ page, she owned it all
Before social media came to be, you needed Ma Bell to “reach out and touch someone”
But momentum started to change and this monopoly was broken into Baby Bells and all thought Ma Bell was done
“Monopolies are bad” screamed the public and lawmakers in DC
“From businesses that control us and our interests we must be free”
The Sherman Antitrust Act introduced in 1890 was an attempt to stop an industry from controlling all free thought and trade
Then in 1914 Congress passed the Clayton Antitrust Act and formed the Federal Trade Commission to see the ruling against monopolies must be obeyed
Fast Forward 97 years and new monopolies are formed and band together to control what is now all digital communication
Twitter, Apple, Google and Amazon formed the super oligopoly showing contempt for the law with no limit to their overbearing deprivation
So you may wonder what happened to free thought and speech when it is gone
Blame it on now Grandma Bell, her children may not have made a ripple but her grandchildren are evil spawn
Everyone knew it was coming, that pesky Constitution and those annoying Amendments needed to go away
Those seventy four MILLION citizens that voted against their rights being stripped from them need to pay
The far left vision of government control has always worked so well in Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea
Yet here they are, the unmotivated, the Tik Tok dancers and the socialist educated youth all enamored with the idea
The people that believed in individual freedom had lost and it was time to attack the rules of the land
The Constitution and it’s Amendments need to be demolished and the new Congress had that all planned
The surprising aspect to this onslaught was how fast it transpired
The President elect was still two weeks from office when a coven of Tech giants in the first amendment ‘s demise had conspired
The first amendment’s destruction sure didn’t take long and if working in numerical order next will come the right to bear arms
This new country needs it’s citizens defenseless, standing up for your freedom can cause the left’s rampant march harm
It’s easy to to patrol the streets and round up unarmed defenseless dissenters before sending them to 2021’s version of a concentration camp
“The Nazi party should not become a constable of public opinion but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the masses but their master.” says a quote from Hitler’s Mein Kampf
Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures as advised in Amendment IV is going by the wayside
When online communication is controlled by fawning toadies in private companies who feel only they can decide
The FBI will be moved to the forefront in search and seizures as over the recent past this pack of lackeys has demonstrated how honorable they are
Compromise will not happen and pushback seems inevitable, as my way or the highway will make life in the new America quite bizarre
So America you have a ringside seat to watch what happens when fanatics are given total control
You truly will be bystanders to the formation of a dictatorship that will first steal your rights and then come for your soul
The fan blades had stopped turning as dripping brown matter had choked down the motor
The left lunatic fringe had achieved their goal and started their campaign to crush the non-left leaning American voter
Divide and conquer was their ideology but when in front of the fawning media the sermon was one of unity
But being played the fool was obvious by citizens in any party and not fooled by this amateurish show of alleged ingenuity
Big Tech backed by their new found crazed leftist power seized the moment by censuring anyone not worshiping at their feet
While the freshly empowered left was still a couple of months away from deciding who was really in the driver’s seat
Meanwhile the American worker is harboring that ever increasing eerie feeling that his rights are about to disappear
Feeling powerless as Howdy Doody in their own home with the new regime being the puppeteer
But are citizens really that vulnerable or might there be an alternative
Could a line in the sand be drawn with a possible solution for a moderate or conservative
What Washington doesn’t want the average citizen to realize is that individual holds all the cards
The old motto “Money talks bull poo walks” is a phrase that has brought down many courtyards
Control the taxes and when the current war chest is depleted suddenly those in power become all talk
Eliminate the two blue coasts some government subsidized urban areas and the new leftist agenda is on the sidewalk outlined in chalk
Thirty three states pooling their taxes would become a force Washington would need to handle
Compromise would happen no violence or protesting needed and the new president would be free to cover up his own scandal
These states could form their own Union representing all people with NO past or current elected official included
The Blue States could fund themselves by Silicon Valley, celebrities and highly overpaid sports stars as by the new Union they would be excluded
The defunded police could seek employment in the new Union and gangs could be used to enforce the Blue State laws
The migration of people to the new Union would be swift leaving the new administration clutching at straws
All people with skills and determination would be welcome and everyone would once again follow the Constitution and respect all’s rights
Because in reality fair trade, job satisfaction and a feeling of belonging is the ideology that unites
Joe Biden appeared from his basement version of the Little White House and commenced to shout
Since his oratory style lacks persuasiveness he feels his third world rhetoric if spoken loudly carries more clout
Charlie Chan the great fictional Chinese American detective once stated “Mind is like parachute, only functions when open”
And for a few minutes a day when awake, Joe considers himself as America’s savior, the progressive Utopian
“In my first 100 days” begins every sentence on Joe’s teleprompter and is his common theme
Being a one trick pony boy he figures it’ll take that long to destroy America’s dream
He is now the real Big Guy as called in an e-mail by his son
But Big Guy only holds true in the US as in the last election it was really China that won
Biden yells he will immediately join the Chinese controlled World Health Organization
The WHO praised China for it’s handling of the covid crisis looking the other way from online censorship and whistle blower incarceration
Biden also howls he will rejoin the ridiculously flawed Paris Accord
The fact Mother Nature is constantly changing is to be ignored
Now the largely American funded Accord restrictions can shutter manufacturers and send those jobs abroad
To third world countries not held to the same carbon standards in an agreement horribly flawed
“Come on man” shouts Biden if once in a blue moon someone asks a question
Blame it on the Russians if it’s personal and blame Trump for all other transgressions
What should have been a shining moment for a career politician
Will spiral into unanswered questions about Chinese connections, laptop memos and a deteriorating medical condition
Will his new green deal, The Paris Accord and an immigration stampede be more than the taxpayer can bear?
Just don’t ask the President, remember he’s China Joe, he’s fragile, handle with care
The Vanderbilt football team was struggling through a winless season
Covid cancellations, players opting out and a very tough schedule were the given reasons
Socially distanced fans were keeping their distance by staying miles away
To keep the team relevant a soccer player from the women’s team was brought in creating a feminist red letter day
The teams regular kicker had tested positive and was on virus restrictions
Adding a woman to the team could generate interest and boost contributions a cure all prescription
Praising the move as bold, celebrities and sports networks lined up to sing their praises
But does this really provide equality on the the field is a question this move raises
Sure it was was a touchstone moment created watching a point after a touchdown sail through the goal posts
But in reality women’s sports shouldn’t be raising their glasses in too many unbridled toasts
This appears to open the door for the elimination of women’s’ sports as we know it today
The original idea of Title IX will be steamrolled and become passe
It’s been years since jokes were heard about Russian women competing with their low hanging widget
Swearing to all that would listen in the Olympic world they were 100% female and were legit
But now all that is off the table as equality has to work both ways
Because women, women born men and men can now take their place on the women’s dais
A guy looking for a free ride can take his low handicap even lower by hitting from the red tees
He can charge through the field in women’s golf tournaments and win in a breeze
Pick a sport and all genders can compete for a roster spot on the same team
The idea that genders can compete only against other like genders might just be a vanishing dream
The door has been opened for true gender equality and women’s’ sports will be redefined
As it may have been two points for the Vanderbilt football team but a giant leap backwards for all of mankind
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone
When she got there the cupboard was bare as Nancy Pelosi hadn’t blessed the old lady from her throne
You see Congress had a shot at loading up a bill written on the backs of working Americans with their own pork
It was an opportunity to cram the “stimulus” bill with their vested interests, do some back slapping and pop the cork
Congress then can sound the trumpets and shout triumphantly about what they accomplished for the taxpayers
You’re not supposed to notice they have spent the last year doing their utmost to quash the citizens’ hopes and dreams as politicized naysayers
So they sent a bill to the floor that took a guy with a hand truck to deliver
The bill was 5,593 pages long with expected approval in a measly six hours to continue to sell Americans down the river
Both Senators and Representatives were expected to know what was in this pork package in a very short period of time
After watching clips on television from the various dim witted representatives for them to say they read the entire package would be a lying crime
And by the way The House did remember it’s electorate after locking them down for ten months with fabricated stories that the sky is falling
With a big $600 stimulus check to spend any way one wants on such luxuries as food, heat or lights but that is not what is really galling
The downtrodden are supposed to take solace in knowing the bill does provide millions in relief for Cambodia, Burma and Nepal
Sure it seem like a slap in the face, but to quote Pink Floyd “It’s Just Another Brick In The Wall”
And just maybe with 25 million earmarked for the Kennedy Center, Pelosi could be bestowed with Honors while the rest of America has cut expenses to the bone
As business owners are struggling to keep their doors open, food banks are empty and the elderly are dying alone
The free spending list goes on with such goodies as ten million awarded for Pakistani Gender Studies of all things
An easy way to solve this dilemma to to peek under the partung to see if the body part is stationary or if it swings
The money grab continues as the Smithsonian is to be tossed a billion and funds are set aside for the Dalai Lama
While Americans suffer both sides of the aisle are immovable in their demands all adding to the drama
There is no limit to the vile corruption, payola and collusion of an elected official
So when that official looks into the camera and states they’re turning Heaven and earth for you, remember that smile is painted on and completely artificial
The rain splattered off the heads of the reindeer and the lighted plastic Santa
It was the time of the year when the faded decorations were pulled from storage as part of seasonal Americana
The Black Friday sales started in August as online shopping was recommended
Percentage discounts were offered for a minimum purchase and free shipping was extended
The Sears toy catalog wish book and layaway had become memories of yuletide past
The throngs of mall shoppers and walking through a mist of perfume in department stores were remembrances that were disappearing fast
Cards had become a well wishes greeting that could have easily been sent in June
And if one signs up for a charged monthly app the kids can watch a yearly Christmas cartoon
Christmas parties are frowned upon and are restricted to a gathering of ten
More than five cars in the driveway can create a knock on the door from the pandemic lawmen
Mistletoe kisses are thrown from across the room providing not too much air is moved
And eggnog is presented in single serve cups that are CDC approved
Finally the living Nativity scene has all the participants masked
Including the animals wearing modified muzzles in case anyone asked
The fact that joy is being squeezed out of the season by hysterical naysayers is a disgrace
But even the arbitrary restrictions vanish when one sees on Christmas morn the wonder in a toddler’s eyes and the delight on her face
The line had formed in mid January, the numerous MBA’s were waiting for the government dole
They had signed up for student loans now due and cancellation of their obligation was their goal
The new President was being coerced into eliminating the loans with the wave of his new wand
Leaving the lending institutions to eat those funds owed and previous debtors feeling conned
“It’s great for the economy,” preached the newly empowered left leaning lawmakers
“That’ll be an extra 200 or 300 dollars a month and help turn those degree holders into movers and shakers”
They now will be able to trade in their old minivan and park that new BMW in their driveway
Just like winning the lottery their next 10 years of debt will be forgiven and the current balance they won’t have to repay
This debt cancellation will help the future elitists but do nothing to help the struggling working class
They’re the ones worried about working two jobs, the price of daycare and the next tank of gas
Who’s gonna cancel their debt? Perhaps congress can cancel the next ten years of monthly rent
That would put more bucks in their pocket rather than receiving a paycheck with half of it owed and already spent
It seems a good way to stifle an economy is to eliminate all obligation
Entrepreneurship and determination can easily be replaced by new legislation
The dreams of starting and running your your own business will vanish when sitting in front of the institution lender
Because that bank official understands that if things get tough that client only has to give up and surrender
The grit and hard work that formed small town America when Hershey bars were a nickel
Will go the way of the Pledge of Allegiance unless you happen to be saluting the hammer and sickle
