Rocky Mountain Foreboding Sky, in Colorado

Thomas Jefferson once said, “That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part”

Presently the Colorado State Supreme Court decided to look no further than their partisan beliefs for their ruling to the state’s voters to impart

Rocky Mountain Why, In Colorado

At just under 4.5 million registered voters, this group decided a man not convicted of any crime cannot be a candidate as he is not suitable to run

Throwing the Constitution aside, by a 4 to 3 vote this gang of justices tried to pull a fast one

Rocky Mountain Guy, In Colorado

By keeping Trump off the ballot pointing to currently unproven facts about the January 6th insurrection

They would happily include the names of the candidates lagging behind and change the election’s overall complexion

Rocky Mountain High, In Colorado

By rejecting Trump, the justices were probably hoping the marijuana laws and Biden’s promise of college debt reduction would put the democrats over the top

Seeming to forget the likes of Denver, Boulder, and Aspen would soon become more third world slums as the migrant march to the north continues non-stop

Rocky Mountain Cry, In Colorado

The Colorado Secretary of State has since relented and said Trump will now be on the ballot as the Republicans have filed an appeal to the US Supreme Court

Although emphasizing the State Supreme Court was right in their ruling, she is now going to wait for the US Supreme Court’s decision and report

Rocky Mountain Die, In Colorado

The idea these judges feel empowered to decide an innocent, at this point, US citizen cannot appear on a ballot because they don’t like him

Is the equivalent of trashing the very foundation of America’s right to vote. One can go ahead and prime the organ to start the funeral hymn

Rocky Mountain Buy in, Not In Colorado

Meanwhile another pompous state official has popped up to keep Trump away from the voter citizens in Maine

Perhaps it’s time to realize America is on the train to destruction and the people driving the locomotive really are insane

Ask Not What You Can Do For Your University

Recently the President of a prestigious east coast university came under fire accused of plagiarism

She countered stating the claims were racist and typical of unfounded journalism

In a prepared statement she stared down the press and said “I have not yet begun to fight”

Shaking her finger at the assembled reporters she added “I will not go gentle into that good night”

The university’s multi-billion dollar endowment hangs in the balance as the President’s testimony condemning anti-semantic chants seemed vague

Reading her hand written statement the embattled president, denying the accusations said “The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague”

Implying that the newspaper and press was on a mission to defame her position and achievement she sneered at the reporters and stated “You cannot help small men by tearing down big men”

Terrified by the position they suddenly were in, the university soon realized the president was really a lazy researcher and plagiarized other writings time and time again

The university noting their choice for president has given them quite a scare

Issued the following statement. “Trust takes years to build seconds to break and years to repair”

Quietly acknowledging their mistake, the chancellors met to discuss how to keep their chosen one from becoming an enigma

And leave a foul taste in the mouths of their boosters of a less than stellar stigma

Now threatening a lawsuit, the president wants to keep her job in spite of the allegations

The quicksand of wokeness has sucked this university into the quagmire of receding donations

And sending the clear message to their future med, law, and business students that it’s okay to cheat

As long as you’re president of a university or a government official and have already lied your way into being considered one of the elite

It’s Not Fair, Putin Has The Center Square

In the game of Tic Tac Toe, if a player claims the center square, they are usually the winner

Exceptions do apply but to lose when you own the center means you are new to the game and a beginner

On TV for many years Hollywood Squares used to feature Paul Lynde in the center square

Many government ideas, politicians, and celebrities were skewed by his snarky answers seemingly formed from thin air

Now in real life and time the non-comedian, no nonsense Vladimir Putin controls the center of the Ukraine Tic Tac Toe game

He’s rolled his armies into Ukraine to take back the territories he wants to claim

Figuring he can outlast Ukraine’s limited fighting forces he can keep sending soldiers to the front lines

With his much ballyhooed counter offensive now mired in the muck, Zelensky is out of warm bodies, ammo, and money or so he whines

Hoping for a vertical three in a row in the Tic Tac Toe game, Zelensky had not counted on the American people to push back

Even more so, he was worried about being yesterday’s news due to the Hamas on Israel attack

Since Biden occupies the top right square, Zelensky hoped he could goad the dementia poster boy into more American aid

But he left DC with only promises and a lot of yesterday’s weapons to continue his bloody crusade

But secure in the whispered knowlege the Senate would approve the additional spending

By tying the corrupt payola to American troop pay raises and not give a nickel to the border war they should be defending

Secretly wishing to have Biden to commit American troops to his frontlines and turn his war into the next Viet Nam

Discovering quickly the House didn’t want its own troops to suffer through more years of Russian napalm

In 1983 the movie War Games centered on a character able to crack the main computer that controlled the military nuclear weapons

By supplying the right code the world would be destroyed in a matter of seconds

The horrified character convinced the computer to solve its issues with a game of Tic Tac Toe

The computer quickly realized the game was unwinnable when the center is occupied even with all systems on go

Perhaps its time for Zelensky to realize he doesn’t own the center square and is fighting an unwinnable war

He needs to begin negotiations, rewrite the Minsk agreement, and quit begging the US before the fed up Ukrainian citizens show him the door

Singing The Insurance Blues

Grandpa Smith was in a panic. The new insurance rate quote lying on the dining room table had him reaching for his heart pills

He’d been with this company for better than thirty years had done the bundle for home and auto, always paid on time and yet the new quote left him with cold chills

The note on the bottom of the bill advised that for further clarification please call this 800 number.

The nice young man expressed appropriate empathy while stating that everything was more expensive from labor for car repairs and for home storm damage the price of lumber

“But I’ve never filed a claim,” stated Grandpa. “I live in old house and drive a nine-year-old car.”

“That’s considered a bit of an issue Mr Smith,” explained Ajai, the voice on the phone. Should a strong wind damage your older roof the price of shingles has sky-rocketed and your rates go up the older you are.”

“Also repair rates for autos has drastically increased due to inflation. Have you seen what a body shop charges to replace a front grill?”

“And yet when an uninsured motorist runs into you, we’re required to pay the bill”

“Think about this Mr Smith, everytime you see a riot, a tornado, or a wildfire everyone files a claim”

“And with the number of undocumented migrants trying to drive, the new uninsured motorist rates currently being figured will make this current quote look tame”

“So what happens if I file a claim for a damaged roof after a wind storm?” asked Grandpa Smith.

“Oh, we’ll pay for the roof,” stated Ajai. “But realize this, it maybe with you we’re over and done with”

Astonished, the old man observed, “So after thirty years and paying all the premiums you’ll drop me just like that.”

“As much as we appreciate your business Mr Smith. If you file a claim we’d drop you in nothing flat”

“Gee Ajai it seems like you ought to rebate some money for never filing a claim. You don’t treat you existing customers very well at least at the bank they offered me a free blender”

“Mr Smith, we don’t have any rebate program but if you stop by our office you can pick up a free desk calender”

“Ajai, I don’t know where you live or what you drive but I think you know what you can do with your calendar and your quote”

“Mr Smith, I’m sorry you feel this way, but for your information I live in Bangladesh and drive a cart powered by a goat.”
