Take Me Home (as long as you pay your TAXES)

During the recent Super Bowl, Rocket Mortgage produced a commercial showing people on the way to their new home

With a John Denver tune playing in the background these newbies apparently have yet to hit the “tax everything you ever want or own syndrome”

Yes, the real estate agent might cheerily say, “you’ve been approved!” But approved for what?

Officially you’ve been approved to lease a residence from the local government, but you will forever pay into the county’s money glut

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve paid property taxes, your age, number of children, or dependents living in the household

You miss paying taxes for your house that you allegedly own and just like that you’re out in the cold

The commissioners don’t want to hear any complaints. They’re all on their pretentious power trip

Since their word is final and they have dinner scheduled at the club, they can cut the meeting short as they rule with an iron grip

The stern unflinching stares from behind the walnut dais tell you all you need to know

Mention any tax increase on your property assessment without any increase in services rendered and the translated word salad reply is “go blow”

They’re always quick to point out the money is needed to support the local schools

It doesn’t matter your school system is spending $13,000 a year per student only for high schoolers to read on a third grade level. Rules are rules

City services then chime in with the cost of personnel, vehicles, and maintenance while violence and burglaries are at an all-time high

Or the fact the infrastructure hasn’t been upgraded since the civil war as the collective municipality for years had turned a blind eye

Keep in mind the various levels of governments will place a tax on everything you do, eat, or think about buying

To improve your house, lifestyle, or start a business you will taxed without mercy and you better be complying

You’ll need your costly permits for all thing associated with building a home or upgrades on your existing one or any enhancement to your land

This is after approval of the detailed drawings of improvements you have planned

And after the work is completed the man with the camera shows up to take pictures to make sure the county can tax you at a higher rate

So once the new taxes are figured, you’ll pay these or be living in a refrigerator box under a bridge on the the interstate

This is in addition to the vampires from the insurance companies showing up to notate the upgrade and increase their premium charge

Suddenly realizing the $2800 note on your home comes with multiple bills creating a monthly invoice that is large

And before you know it you’re having to do without just to make rent

Because the county is ready with the foreclosure sign as they are aware you’ve overspent

There was a Crooked Congress that Rode a Crooked Train

The crazy clock that is Washington just keeps a spinning

The DC time piece resets every four years, so a new countdown is only beginning

With the Celebrity Apprentice in charge and Moondoggie as his assistant the formerly smug democrats are scheming frantically for their political lives

Grasping at hearsay, conspiracy theories, and looking for new leadership while hoping anyone survives

Enlisting the aid of partisan appointed federal judges in a desperate attempt to head Trump off at the pass

Or at least keep him at bay while escaping Washington in anything powered by reliable gas

All the talk is centered on the frenzied USAID spending projects when members of congress are guilty of earmarking their own pork projects

The massive 2741 page OMNIBUS spending package approved in 2022 included more that 4000 earmarks over 360 pages that no one inspects

No one read it. No one cared. The blatant money grab was so the elected officials could say “look what I did for you”

Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer himself was connected to 142 earmarks not caring once for the American citizens he was about to screw

Like swarming guppies at feeding time most of congress threw their personal requests into the package

Making a yes vote be heard when the pork heavy package is put to a vote and the democrats had the advantage

So the special interests and their various contractors were gearing up with champagne and caviar for their “party favors”

Spending the little guys money and treating them like suckers, this is the kind of function Washington savors

And all this pork was rolled into the spending bill under the guise of keeping the federal government from shutting down

While the rest of the world stands around with their hand held out waiting for cash from the biggest ATM around

Milking the Americans has potentially reached the end of the line

Flooding the US with migrants was all by design

Control the peasants with small government benefits and little to call their own

Was the aim of Washington and the power behind the throne

But Biden short-circuited and his replacement couldn’t cobble together a coherent thought

And the once formidable gravy train came to a screeching halt, ruined by a lust for power, greed, and two people that couldn’t be bought

The Last Train To Rehoboth Beach

The train left the White House station for the last time early Sunday afternoon

On board for the final ride was the President, trailing so badly in the polls he was forced to change his tune

He was to quit his campaign to repeat another four year term as leader of the free world

But he’d grown too old, feeble, and lost the last debate now with his future at stake rumors swirled

Headed to his beach house on the train he claimed to have ridden over one and half million miles

He travels across the collapsed Francis Scott Key bridge, the one that never had railroad tracks, looks back at Washington DC and smiles

He will be remembered by children many generations from now still trying to pay off his debt

But that matters not to him as he played the Biden name for all it was worth and he still gets to drive his Corvette

He rides through areas where unsatisfied citizens would have thrown eggs at his train

But due to his economic policy and the price of eggs the people can only shout something profane

He is cheered however by non-citizens lining the bridges as they don’t work, live in nice hotels with free wifi and TV

He was sure he could have won by campaigning again from his basement and a huge number of preprinted ballots sent in by questionable voters in absentee

But the puppet masters said no, too many people are angry and demanding a change

So the obvious choice falls to the next in line to the VP, the person the current first lady spent the last three years trying to estrange

So the Border Czar will now be tasked with winning the election really hoping the illegal migrants will be able to vote

Crossing in huge caravans the people offer limited skills and a huge burden on a bloated national debt that has a struggling America barely staying afloat

But the man with the weary eyes journeys on waving at nine of his supporters twerking at his car from an overpass

Going by four charging stations with cars that are lined up for a hot and sweaty twenty minute wait for enough juice just to get them home wishing they had bought gas

Angry at being forced out he realizes his office is leaving behind a multitude of unresolved plans

Will the new leadership accept his visions of total greenscape, continued advancement of two foreign wars, and forcing the education of children in gender dysphoria and everything trans

So its with great trepidation that he is returning home knowing he’ll have listen every night to his wife screaming like a banshee

And hiding from the phone constantly ringing with calls from an irate Mayorkas, Blinken and Zelensky

Team Cell Block vs Team Memory Care

This years political World Series has been decided. Team Cell Block will try to best Team Memory Care for a winner take all

Trying to take home all the marbles, the Vegas odds makers are expecting a bare knuckles brawl

There will be no rules on this one. Name calling, mudslinging, and whispered unfounded rumors will all come into play

Under the guise of a debate, America’s pathetic and dismal political scene will be on worldwide display

In one corner will be the twice impeached ex-President and in the other will be the current President, a demented and angry old man

One fueled by burgers and fries and one by medicated applesauce and oat bran

Expected to come out swinging, the debate will be monitored by the always reliable CNN known for pushing stories like Russian collusion, laptop disinformation, and whipping migrants from horseback as they crossed the river

There should be no such bias from these broadcasters as they prepare to do their best for a non-partisan debate to deliver

Included in the specified rules were the demands from both parties in order to proceed in this spectacle of political gaming.

This should keep it fair for all as four years ago the debates were fumbled by all networks and moderators as both sides are claiming

The ancient guy is specifying no live audiences that could interfere with his train of thought

He is also demanding a couple of breaks as he may head back stage before looking too distraught

Muted mics are also in demand to keep accusations of incompetence silenced after the time limit expires

This gives the other debater time to counter with their own version of immigration, economy turn around, and enemy ceasefires

Another demand being bandied about is the candidates submit to a drug test to prove they are not medically high

And in order to watch this debacle, since weed now seems readily available, most of the viewership will probably be smoking their own supply

It should be interesting to watch Cell Block Trump duking it out with Memory Care Joe

The hatred will be instantly evident as the insults will immediately flow

America will sit in awe as these two spend a couple of hours achieving little but deepening the disdain between her citizens

And the wagons will be circled in an ever tightening knot as each ethnic group feels more and more isolated by these divisions

When Biden Wins

The ballots were stacked high and waiting to be counted. Trucks with ballot boxes were still being unloaded

The once insurmountable lead for Trump was diminishing as the votes for Biden had exploded

Like a warm knife slicing butter, Biden had forged his way through solid red states

Even when currently on vacation for all the election campaign and not bothering with any debates

Kids, dead people and a multitude of migrants all somehow cast their ballots for this leader of the free world

Democrat voters seemingly ignored the fact this liar, money launderer, decrepit plagiarizer, was rolling to victory as rumors of his alleged rape swirled

Shouting with glee from his victory podium he announced his plan for the next fours years

His inane speech addressed all Republicans as they realized their worst fears

Their previous sixteen years of inaction, only surfacing to feed out of the public trough, were coming home to roost

Thinking back over their lip service bills of self-rightous anger questioning foreign wars and impeachment that all died in committee before they were introduced

In short order he emphasized he was here to save America from the Russian invaders

Also to save the Ukrainian people, wage war on the next pandemic, and provide aid to the southern border river waders

Effective immediately the draft will be reinstated. All unemployed men and women living on American soil will be given a uniform and a gun and pledge to America to be loyal

Homeowners will be taxed on the number of migrants they take into their personal dwelling

The more migrants fed and sheltered result in a much lower tax bracket to make the inconvenience more compelling

The new vaccine will be mandatory for all people regardless of religious belief

The shots will be administered just in case a new pandemic is unleashed and if people die their relatives can deal with the grief

The United States pushed to the brink of war will begin to rebuild Ukraine at the taxpayers expense

With the National Debt completely out of control building a country with a corrupt government makes perfect sense

So why bother to vote in the upcoming election. The democrats will keep counting ballots marked only for Biden until he wins

Then the loyal subjects may bow as the Supreme Ruler passes as all peons have done with previous kings

We’re A Little Worried About Joey

Wikipedia defines paranoia “as an instinct or thought process that is believed by anxiety or fear to the point of delusion or irrationality”

Knowing his days are numbered, Paranoid Joe wants to make his mark as his thoughts are increasingly occupied by his own mortality

“Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs or beliefs of conspiracy causing a perceived threat towards oneself (i.e. everyone is out to get me)”

Poor Joey doesn’t realize in his anxiety, those that disrespect him the most are the real powers that be

Those powers forced a pig in a poke on the American public and just now are beginning to realize the extent of their folly

Now the hand-picked flunkies surrounding this figurehead stand helplessly by as Russia fires volley after volley

The tanks rolled into Ukraine over a year ago and tons of money were thrown in that direction to prop up the puppet regime

“We need more money, we need more weapons, we need jets, and now we need soldiers,” the T-shirt continues to scream

“Why is this happening to us?” The lapdogs wonder. All thought they reinforced the idea that every crisis could be blamed on Putin and Trump

Now China is meeting with Russia, Russia is blowing our drones out of the sky, and the last thing the world remembers of our retreat in Afghanistan is a picture of a fleeing uniformed American rump

An unhinged Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny had his marbles, Joe appears to have his printing press. By printing money he doesn’t have he thinks all is cured and everyone will like him

And from that pool of unaudited money his crooked family will continue to skim

His caretakers advise him to answer no questions as he hides from one disaster after another

And questions yelled as he staggers stiff legged from the podium go in one ear and out the other

So he hides on his private beach making America’s problems all based on climate change and race

While hoping some other world power big meany doesn’t run up and kick sand in his face

King Kong He Ain’t

The chest thumping had ceased as the man caved like a sand castle at high tide

He agreed to his thirty pieces of silver and figured the shallow citizens to take it all in stride

The ridiculously named, Inflation Reduction Act is now just a single vote from passing

The payola feeding trough must be filled before mid terms and the spend heavy policies start collapsing

Like explaining this concept to two year olds, this bill isn’t at all about spending its about investing

What’s not explained in the very small print is all about making the rich richer, increasing taxes on the middle class while hiding behind closed doors to eliminate Republican contesting

Trumpets are blaring and announcements made that the wealthy and richest businesses will now pay their fair share

That load of farm yard fertilizer will be served up warm and steamy as no one has yet to figure how to get blood from a turnip or a billionaire

That will not change as now Mr. Manchin’s West Virginians will have their mountain tops dotted with windmills from Canada and Mexico

Allegedly, a deal was struck to increase gas and oil production by the same administration that hates all things Texaco

They’ve lied before, and they’re lying now. Gas prices will remain high and ever poorer citizens once again have been hoodwinked

There is no inflation reduction, it’s only about controlling and fleecing citizens as the elites running the New World Order are all interlinked

With a tiny nod to some Medicare recipients, this bill is all about spending for the New Green Deal and will continue to squash America’s dream

So thank you, Mr Manchin, we appreciate you shedding your wolf costume exposing your party’s jersey as a true member of the socialist team

When Only Thugs Take Your Call

It seems that yesterday, the alleged leader of the free world tried to make a couple of phone calls

Knowing this person is locked in to ruining the oil business to push his own agenda, the Mideast oil producers refused to talk no matter how much he crawls

The countries that would talk to this administration are sworn enemies of the US but American dollars are being waved under their noses

Figuring they can strike while the iron is hot, they’ll accept charges for the call before this demented soul nods off and dozes

Turning his back on the very people that put him in office he welcomes foreign oil rather than producing his own

But the clock is running on the Green Deal as it needs to be implemented before midterms and the popular vote for open Democratic seats boots most from their throne

So he’ll side with evil bad actors that would like nothing better than kill every man, woman and child living in the United States

It’s really sad to see this individual riled up over false voting rights perceptions, but he’s willing to kiss the ass of terrorist dicators he supposedly hates

It probably irritates him that Zelensky is still alive as this Ukrainian leader continues to call him out making him look weak

Since trying to hide behind Poland didn’t work, at least he can use the blocking of Russian oil to conceal his yellow streak

It’s now only a matter of time until the daily price escalation of all goods sends this country into a raging recession

And the driving force behind all policies, the huge conglomerates, realize their own profits are beginning to sink then maybe just maybe the current leadership might be forced to ease domestic oil suppression

We’re the Guy with the Broom and the Pooper Scooper

The parade is over. Congress had passed their bills and all the little Biden supporters are mostly happy.

It’s now time for the American taxpayers to bring out the broom and garbage can to clean up the glitter, ticker tape and all the horse crappy

Oh, it’s not going to cost you one cent is the liberal DC rallying cry

But someone with a five dollar calculator did the math and could cause that statement to go awry

It seems that some members of Congress want to be re-elected and a vote for this hot mess will result in them looking for a real job

Secretly wishing this bill would just go away but they feel that making a stand would raise the ire of the liberal mob

The bills passed the spineless legisature and the White House will say America will get better if you continue to pay through the nose writing those checks for the hidden taxation

And hope the taxpayer will quietly sit by simmering in their anger and despair in quiet resignation

The liberal squad will continue to be unhappy as they weren’t able to spend more of non-existant money

The homeless, the illegal and uneducated continue to stream across the border knowing the leftist agenda will offer relief in the land of milk and honey

Industry will be compromised as the New Green anti oil Deal will cause commerce to grind to a halt

The supply chain is seriously broken, no one wants to work, transportation is handcuffed and it’s all the previous administration’s fault

The pandemic is raging. The CDC appears to be a hapless group of Washington mouth pieces

Vaccine mandates, booster demands, and weekly whispers of a new variant headline every newscast as faith in all of Washington decreases

Left leaning DC is in line for a free fall of voting reality. Playing to special interests for cash and prizes they have over stepped their boundaries and yet continue as though they haven’t a clue

When they are all voted out for terminal stupidity someone is going to have to fix this mess as this group is in way over their heads and bitten off more than they can chew

This job was just too big for the ill prepared, insolent selfish children left in control

So grab the big broom and the pooper scooper as this group will disappear after midterms like dog turds on a dookie patrol

Failure Is Now An Acceptable Option

Failure is now an acceptable option and no further action will be taken
The new mantra of the current administration has left America shaken

Create one disaster after another and then walk away
The lack of policy has left the professional politicians and their campaign promises in disarray

The demented one in his foggy thought process spurned on by bad advice has the pooch hollering for more vaseline
His drive for all things electric has caused prices to jump on all consumer goods as the economy still functions on gasoline

There is chaos at the southern border, the illegals have paid the passage fare to the cartels so their entrance to America should be okay
And when trying to maintain some semblance of order by agents on horseback Biden growled, “those people will pay.”

The Statue of Liberty should be moved south with a new insciption stating, “send us your diseased, your gang members and drug runners”
We’ll just add our open border to our ever growing list of presidential blunders

There has been nothing for the US citizens to hang their Build Back Better hat on. Take the Afghanistan War—please
“Sound retreat and run” has become the motto for the new woke military and leave behind an undetermined number of detainees

Then create a vaccine mandate to disenfranchise the last remaining workforce in the States
Bring in the National Guard and appoint everyday store clerks to enforce the jab and determine all’s fates

One should have realized during the election campaign this guy is not a leader and not one to unite
Hiding in his basement, unable to answer any questions and too cowardly to fight

So Joe continue to pick the pills out of your applesauce and keep the prune juice flowing
And remember to use your numerous gaffes to befuddle your listeners so the world leaders aren’t sure if you’re coming or going

Picking The Good Beans Out Of Weasel Poo

The demand for the exotic Kopi Luwak coffee has remained high

In their quest for a unique experience people are willing to pay big bucks just to buy

Like very fine bourbon from Kentucky or a single malt scotch from a small family owned peat bog

In an effort to separate themselves people are willing to shell out to be looked upon as the big dog

But unlike sour mash in whiskey or the peat smoked barley in Scotch the coffee beans in Kopi Luwak are harvested from weasel dung

So yes those beans giving off that that wonderful aroma came from weasel poo as the luscious liquid rolls around your tongue

Though technically not a true weasel the civet is close enough in size and looks to be considered one

Training for the poo harvester involves identifying good crap from bad crap, ten minutes of field instruction and your education is done

The American citizen in the last few months has a lot in common with the guy holding the weasel pooper scooper

It seems the average citizen is suddenly knee deep in hooey and the daily fumes emanating from DC leaves him in a brain fog stupor

Trying to pick a few good beans out of the muck shoveled on Americans requires skill and dexterity

As this administration will preach unity but if you don’t toe the leftist line this sermon lacks in empathy and sincerity

It seems the weasels of Washington have gifted the American public with monthly inflation, a border crisis and a huge increase in national debt

And yet they show no remorse in adding more misery to the citizens in a sick game of Russian roulette

Which crisis will be the one to finally cause America to crash and fail

So we pick through the Washington weasels’ excrement holding our nose trying not to inhale

Hoping the beans of stimulus checks or perhaps the numbing effect of legalized pot will be enough to brew

While holding on for eighteen months wearing hip boots and wading through the doodoo

We’ll Start The Bidding At $25

The auctioneer mounted the steps to the podium, looked at the assembled group and announced, “Well start the bid at $25 for this loaf of day old bread

The crowd nervously peered into their sacks of money hoping they’d have enough to spend as inflation was rampant and widespread

Fuel was scarce and the car hadn’t been cranked in months, the electric car experiment had been an abject failure and now food was hard to find

Cities were starving, there was no transportation to deliver food to market. Pipelines had been shutdown and cyber attacked leaving America in a bind

The national debt was too large to overcome. Trump figured he had eight years to eliminate the liabilities and was defeated in four

He had spent huge in various programs adding almost 5 trillion to the deficit while watching the economy soar

But a pandemic, the biased malicious media, and his own bombastic attitude stopped the eight year run and had turned the reins over to the masked buffoon and his idiotic sidekick

Figuring to quickly make his mark as a decisive leader he canceled all things that had the economy recovering and started giving away futile stimulus checks like toys from St. Nick.

Free medicare for all, canceling student debt and a green new deal will all cause the national debt to balloon

Much like Tinkerbell with her magic wand, the President was awarding his cronies with their pet projects as he thought himself as the omnificent tycoon

The economy had been led to the inevitable crash. The democrats had thrown the term trillions around to the point of no meaning

The citizens were hungry, the service sector jobs weren’t needed and crime was unchecked. America was no longer worried about greening

So a small group had assembled in a last ditch effort to bid on some food items to help the desperate kinfolk living in their small house

Wishing for a do over as history had been ignored allowing the USA to be hustled by their own apathy and a relentless media to elect a self centered despicable louse
