Truth is the First Casualty of War

The scenes from the Vietnam War were horrific, dead and bloodied casualties were evening TV fare.

If it bleeds it leads or so the televison news thought as they fought their own battles for viewing share

But somehow Walter, Chet and David could look at the camera, read the news, and what they spoke was accepted as the truth

Today we watch what passes as news with a jaded eye as we listen to the deceitful press and Presidential sound bites becoming more and more uncouth

The silent majority suffers through the constant daily drumbeats of the threat of war

This isn’t a nuclear threat as the President has begun to callously toss around, this is the war on everyday Americans this administration seems to abhor

Biden has been in office for almost two years and his appeal that he’s not Trump is rapidly subsiding

His accomplishments to this date has been in all races, genders and religions completely dividing

His misguided obsessive climate change policies are killing the once thriving economy by driving up inflation and forcing America into a recession and further in debt

Let “em shiver in the winter, keep them immobile with the price of gas, and keep the fearful shaking with another lockdown threat

The fact is this reckless ineffectual pawn was elected by being a first class liar

He and his second class family are only in Washington as figureheads and for all the riches their position can acquire

His tired demented eyes view the migrants streaming across the border as indentured servants for the ruling class

While citizens watch their paychecks and rights dwindle, their tax money being pumped into a puppet foreign government and into the pump for a tank of gas

The solutions are painfully simple. Close the gate, reopen the efficient oil industry, and wean Zelensky from “Big Mama’s tit”

End the scientifically proven ineffectual vaccine mandate, hire the fired vaccine refused personnel back, stop catering to a small leftist mob and best of all, pack up the entire Executive Branch and quit

The American people deserve better. You looked into their eyes and deliberately lied

You’ve failed as a leader, a statesman and as a man. Resign now while you still have some pride

White House Friend Requests

The current resident Commander in Chief has been sending a lot of friend requests lately and hasn’t had many positive replies

While cutting off his nose to spite his face, he’s been asking foreign leaders for part of their oil supplies

“Because I want the US oil industry gone, I’m willing to pay big taxpayer bucks to keep my economy from collapsing”

“You see, I’ve been bragging about my Build Back Better campaign and now the escalated gas prices has a stagnate economy relapsing”

“I’m sending this request to you, Mr. Supreme Leader of Iran, because I need your oil for our gas”

“We’ll make you happy with a new Nuclear deal and let your uranium enrichment program become first class”

“I’ll just look the other way and turn a deaf ear to the fact you’ll be stockpiling nuclear missiles if we reach an agreement”

“I’ll use my creepy whisper voice to emphasize consent even though the American people’s opposition is vehement”

“I’ll also be sending friend requests to Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. They have oil I can use to keep the price at the pump high”

“I’m sure they won’t take advantage of me knowing I refuse to tap into our own supply”

“Maybe someone will positively respond to one of my requests. I’d send out more but most of the other oil producers have ties to BRICS

“Maybe if I do some more groveling, one or more may accept my request, after all it’s just a few mouse clicks”

“To keep my unrealistic and distorted vision of a zero carbon footprint, to the friend requests I received from Canada, the US oil industry, and a majority of American people, I’ll click ignore”

“Because in reality I don’t serve at the pleasure of the American people, I only serve to those few groups that can line my pockets with laundered funds in a bank offshore”

The Unemployed Union Meeting

“Okay we need to get started. Will everyone please pull up the footrests on their recliner as we need to bring to order the Unemployed Union Meeting”

“Please focus your attention on the screen as this online meeting is for your benefit from the comfort of your home and your laid back seating”

As soon as the meeting was called to order, fingers flew on the keyboards as the members were outraged

The time for free money had ceased, the stimulus checks had stopped meaning this group from society could no longer remain disengaged

“How are we expected to survive?” was the predominant question lighting up the chat side of the screen.

“We have fully anticipated for this free spending administration to acknowledge our financial problem and by now to intervene”

Some of the members had rocked forward in their chairs with a furious look while cursing the digital figure on the flickering display

“We’re in the process of demanding action on this right now,” screamed the Union boss. Her voice cracking in dismay

She had taken her list of demands to the White House for immediate action but so far her ultimatums were only in discussions

She did have a plan B as attention from the Build Back Better plan was currently concentrating on voter rights as that issue could potentially provide far greater repercussions

The members mantra had been “We’ve hidden under the guise of waiting for a better opportunity to provide for us”

Unable to answer when another stimulus check might appear, the participants’ lights begin to blink off in disgust

“This Union is a joke!” wrote one. “They take us away from sleeping in once a month and can’t share a shred of good news”

“This SUCKS!” wrote another. “I’m going to be forced to drink regular grocery store coffee and cancel my appointment for new tattoos”

“Just hang in there a while longer,” stated the Union Boss. “If my plan works, the new immigrants will have all your old jobs, and we’ll be a large enough unemployed team to force the President’s hand”

“They’ll have to pay us to save face while showing the stimulus package employs all these new people and you’ll be able to continue your current lifestyle and won’t that be grand”

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

When More Is Never Enough

The American citizens tired of Trump’s raucous rants and hearing the words rigged, fake news and witch hunt were elated

Their Big Guy had been elected, they marched to the polls and did what Facebook, Twitter and Instagram had dictated

They all watched with joy as the Big Guy sat down next to a stack of executive orders and commenced to sign

The groveling media and leftists everywhere were ecstatic as the Big Guy autographed the bottom line

While half of America watched in horror, he signed away individual freedoms while taking major bites from their pocketbook

Time to strike before the new Congress can argue as they’re not necessary because the Big Guy has a phone, a pen and the public on the hook

Quick to rejoin the Paris Accord, the economic crippling agreement using US taxpayers to essentially fund China and other countries to take our manufacturing jobs

Indifferent to the cry from the right as the new left regime treats all citizens not in the socialist breakfast club as doorknobs

With a quick stroke of the pen he eliminated the Keystone XL pipeline and put 16,000 out of work

When asked about this one of his toadies replied “we hope they can find other work,’ he said with a smirk

This means dependence on foreign oil as this man seems willing to trade blood for oil demonstrated by US tanks rolling into Syria immediately increasing US presence in the Middle east

How are we going to pay for more troops abroad and the Paris Accord, the taxpayers of course as they are just a month away from feeling the fleece

This will be a demonstration through the deaths of Americans and foreign nationals that dependence on oil is bad while alternative energy is to be revered

We won’t discuss how the manufacturing plants needed to supply goods for this new energy are coal powered and landfills will soon be brimming with their toxic waste but compliance to the policy must be adhered

Soon the taxpayers will be shelling out for the healthcare and welfare benefits for thousands of soon to be illegal aliens now currently living in Guatemala

Because they all know American citizens will be paying their expenses as the USA is their big piňata

So shortly when the the left voting taxpayers realize their vote was a disastrous decision they have no grounds to bitch

Because in reality every left leaning device they used to mindlessly control their thoughts there was always an on/off switch

Views From The Basement

The voice from the basement came through loud and clear
His speeches had been rehearsed and edited so on his video he’s normal it appears

But all around him his handlers seemed concerned about his next big gaffe
Causing his detractors to enjoy the moment and all have a big laugh

The virus happening at this point in time for the Democrats is very fortuitous
Hoping the stay at home orders are in place through November frustrating Americans and him being victorious

America’s buoyant economy and the man in charge were dealt a very lousy hand
The Dems in their perfect 20/20 hindsight state how prepared they’d have been to take command

Perhaps they could use as an example their highly successful cash for clunkers incentive
But one will never hear that from the media as that might prove insensitive

Viewing from his cellar through his periscope he wants to make 11 million undocumented people citizens
Guaranteeing the leftists stay in power for the foreseeable future supporting the New World Order visions

Taxes would be raised exponentially to support these new people as most small businesses were shuttered due to state mandates
The new poor would have to rely on the government for subsistence, all part of the devious plan of the candidate

When a vaccine is developed there will be orders issued to implant proof of procedure chips in all residents
Without regard to peoples’ privacy, to keep citizens under Big Brother’s thumb will become the new precedent.

So the dems are prepping a angry woman to assume the reins when the newly elected man is sent to Shady Acres Rest Home
Already rejected once by her own party she’ll show the world who’s in charge with an intense leftist retaliation syndrome

All this can be seen by the presidential candidate peering into the shaken world through his periscope
Using his impeccable hindsight to continually push his anti capitalistic taxation heavy envelope

Gone with the Wave of a Wand

IMG_1120Keeping up with the Jones’ in the well heeled neighborhood was easy not so long ago

Money was blown that hadn’t yet been earned but borrowing and terms were easy so you could owe

Critical items were needed like ten dollar coffee stops and hair and nails done by appointment

Knowing you had to put off the new phone because the note was due on the luxury SUV was a disappointment

But there was food in the fridge and eating out three times a week seemed like money well spent

Still at the end of the month after all was paid you wonder where it all went

Then came the pandemic a disease that was supposed to happen in other countries but not here

Yet local businesses closed, the income flow ceased peeling away the comfortable veneer

Formally sociable people turned common sense into panic and panic into hoarders

The media and government had every citizen contagious and to slow the spread closed the borders

An ugly realization that bills were still due, the ATM show zero balance and credit cards were maxed

Hoping like crazy the mortgage company’s late fee policy would be relaxed

The news reporters were showing the daily casualty numbers and stores’ empty shelves

All advising the merits of staying at home while broadcasting remotely themselves

The pantry and refrigerator are now empty and the family just finished the last box of cereal

Suddenly poor and humble, the humiliation of asking for assistance seemed immaterial

With hair tucked under a scarf and chipped nails you inch along in the the food line watching the gas gauge point to low

Wishing you’d had fewer dinner parties with thirty dollar bottles of Merlot

This can’t be happening in America, it’s a birthright ticket to easy street

Not sitting in a sweltering line of cars hoping for a box of food so the family will be able to eat
