Price Controls, Gouging, and Groceries

Recently the Democratic nominee and VP of the US accused grocery stores of price gouging their shoppers

In trying to sound like she’s concerned and trying to deflect the effect of her personally endorsed Bidenomics, she’s telling another one of her socialist whoppers

Since the price of groceries affect everyone the grocery stores were easy prey for the bobblehead democrat bottom feeders

And by stating she’ll institute price controls where she feels necessary she flashed her socialist credentials just like other failed leaders

There are many products and services that could be rightfully accused of price gouging but groceries ain’t one of them

Starting with a simple product with a couple more to follow, these are products she might try to condemn

Greeting cards used to be a mainstay of the daily mail. A simple note of warm wishes and all was well

Now for a picture of a cute kitty and a happy birthday message, to forward that sentiment $5.99 is what you’ll shell

Mobile phones used to have roaming charges. A very limited area in which calls were included in your plan and outside that (usually the end of your driveway) the price of any call would jump

Now all the plans have their own ways of extracting your hard-earned dough from your wallet as it all comes out of the hidden charges in a monthly lump

The healthcare industry has gotten away with highway robbery for years

Now because the insurance companies are calling the shots, for any kind of malaise you’ll need to see multiple doctors for colds, cuts, and pap smears

The docs all need their piece of the pie since insurance companies are making money from them and the insured hand over fist

The doctors have had to put their patients on a medical merry-go-round just to remove a cyst

TV used to be simple. A person could erect an antennae and get three network stations and if near a city maybe on a clear night get a UHF station

Now with cable and streaming services for only $99.99 one can get the same stations, some completely unwatchable programs, and stations that only appeal 1% of the population

There are many industries that have made their billions by price gouging the consumer year in and year out

But don’t pick on the grocers like some ranting ignorant lout

Because people know when they’re cash strapped due to your inflation, and they’re trying to get their family something to eat

You’ll find them at the discount food warehouses looking for dented cans of 59 cent black eyes and “use by tomorrow” gray meat

Your Social Score, Your New Life

With the re-election of the demented one, the US adopted a social credit score system. Where Big Brother is finally able to control your every movement like never before

Be a good little socialist and you’ll be able to provide your family with food and heat, but any balk at the stringent rules and regulations will result in a bad credit score

Electricity, gasoline, internet access, and everyday purchases will all be granted based on your behavior

One will have to toe the line because once implemented, on the horizon there rides no savior

Try posting something on the internet that doesn’t lean to the left, buying a gasoline fueled car, or too much beef and you will be stopped

The rules for life are all posted. Follow the guidelines without push back, You will adopt

The system will work flawlessly. The newly armed agents will enforce all mandates and lock downs

However, this new system didn’t allow for one forgotten component that should have been obvious to these government clowns

The never ending Ukraine War, the New Green Deal, and the border crisis were all costing money the government didn’t have

Desperately the government will begin seeking other sources of income like a hemorrhoid needs salve

To soothe the never ending cash itch it was decided that a credit box be installed in citizen’s abodes

You need something but your credit score is stopping the transaction. Swipe your card for the needed item as your income steadily erodes

Need some additonal rationed ground beef to feed the guests? Tap your government issued bank card

Just remember, with that purchase, next month’s sale of beef will be barred

More gas for the vacation, download an additional movie, power for Christmas lights? Feed the box

Don’t even think about buying any property, a second car, or any stocks

Major purchases are prohibited unless one obtains a phenomenal social credit score awarded to very few

You will obey every command if you ever want to own a boat, a pet, or even an approved tattoo

Once running afoul of the new laws, remaining rights and privileges are removed and quiet resignation takes place

As liberal judges in their kangaroo court wave their wand and sides with extreme socialist idealism in every case

Remembering after the fact that Washington DC is full of liars, promises are cheap and votes are easily bought

So now the citizens can sit back in their drab marginally heated room and watch the rest of America rot

A Hater’s Holiday

The room was bright, the sun was up as he groaned and opened his eyes

His all consuming addiction to hatred left him hungover as last night’s anger lit up the night skies

Because now all that fake holiday spirit was thrust again on the public and someone has to pay

He’s learned to despise this season with all the plastic decorations, prejudiced well wishers and Santa’s faded sleigh

Forget the fact that kids might for a short time believe in something good

Their parents should concentrate only on his philosophy, understand he’s right and then he won’t be misunderstood

He was dealt a bad hand by being one of the chosen few born a free-thinker in the USA

Preaching regularly he renounces all capitalism as that only leads to society’s decay

Longing to be recognized as a freedom fighter and rally the socialist ranks to overthrow the government oppressors

His persona had been formed early by public education and pretentious leftist professors

Harshly passing judgment on those saps trudging to work every day to earn a living wage

Serving only to fuel his inner resentment of having no bankable skills or sense of responsibility both stoking his barely controllable rage

And now he has to listen to those unauthentic holiday greetings and wishes of good will

Well, he has news for those chumps. A revolution is coming and this ain’t Whoville

Laughing to himself, he knows who’s right and those despicable fools can sing Jingle Bells around their pathetic celebration

Content in his knowledge it’s only a matter of time before this yearly occurrence falls victim to cancel culture politicization

The Snake Pit

The snakes had been freed, last November America opened their cages and out they crawled

The Spitting Cobras then proceeded to spout fictional stats, half truths and bald faced lies and any attempt to counter was stonewalled

Question the expertise and one can see the serpents coil and hear them begin to rattle

One’s expected to accept their spoken word as gospel and follow like cattle

Big Pharma is slithering around looking for another massive payday by enlisting the rat snakes to vaccinate kids

There is no long range data on possible harm from this serum but no one is to question this as the chief Worm Snake forbids

The border is not open or so the Puff Adder the big reptile appointed to Washington states

But those ain’t water moccasins crossing the river overwhelming communities and leaving them in dire straits

There’s still a multitude of people stuck behind enemy lines in Afghanistan

That’s what happened when their escorts out dropped their weapons and ran

The dismal retreat was ordered by the Chicken Snake in charge completely bungling the end of the war

Only to run back to Delaware and scream he was backed into a corner and lay the blame at someone else’s door

Campaign for the no count Sidewinder in charge of the west coast

Shout his praise over the din of homeless encampments, the noise of businesses shuttering and the crackle of forests that are now toast

Finally after your relentless attempt to destroy the United States and ruling over one disaster after another

Send your Copperhead out to face the press with her uncanny ability to act like any question is not worth her time and goes in ear and out the other

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

The Yellow Expedient Opportunist

Merriam-Webster describes Expedient “usually implies what is immediately advantageous without regard for ethics or consistent principles”

The Free Dictionary describes Opportunist “one who takes advantage of any opportunity to achieve an end, often with no regard for principles or consequences”

As redundant as this title sounds any number of like adjectives may be applied to the man currently masquerading as the Commander In Chief

As he shuffles through his daily routine issuing paranoid mandates and destroying America while the nation watches in disbelief

Back in the old days when a man was labeled yellow he was considered a coward

Curiously the man in the White House made a career of standing in the shadows but the voters left him feeling empowered

Apparently America didn’t realize that on the man they pinned their hopes and dreams was constructed of Jello

And failed to notice as he emerged from his basement on his back was a streak in a bright shade of yellow

Consider for a moment that he hid for most of his alleged campaign and rarely showed his face

And when he did, he only read teleprompter feeds, yet the strategy seemingly worked in the electoral race

The fact he rarely shows should not be a surprise as he spent eight years peeking from behind his Boss’s pants

Only nodding along or parroting to the press the emptiness of one of Obama’s America last rants

Currently not taking questions or appearing before Congress to ease the concerns of the nation’s population

Calling anyone in disagreement a racist for questioning his horribly failed policy on immigration

Hiding behind executive orders and a Chatty Cathy press secretary trained in the art of double talk

He is in and out of appearances tossing wise cracks over his shoulder giving the nation at his yellow stripe a chance to gawk

This man and his cohorts demonstrate daily their hatred for America and her can do attitude

And to the hard working people that had voted for him in the past, he shows no gratitude

He won’t be remembered as a Nathan Hale. His only regret will be he couldn’t stomp on more American lives

Keeping his tax heavy agenda and his socialistic cronies in power is all that matters regardless of the citizens’ future his order deprives

He’ll have to live out his days content in the knowledge his cowardice kept him from standing for American ideals

And to the grandchildren growing up under his spending and rules he’ll be remembered as the yellow pirate as their paycheck will be one of his steals

BLM-Who’s It Really Helping

MEXICO-HONDURAS-US-MIGRATION-AFP PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2018
AFP Picture of the year

The megaphones are loud and the chanting relentless, people are injured and any effort to contain the violence is cause for a counterattack

Feeling cheated in life because of failures both perceived and real and it’s all the fault of America because the skin color is black

America is a pathetic place to live as skin color is the sole determinant of your lot in life

The high school diploma opens only entry level jobs, the pay can’t get you ahead and the media accelerates your strife

The new left is furious, three decades of socialist public education has reached the boiling stage

The democratic puppet masters are delighted as any opinion stated otherwise is a cause to enrage

The fanatical socialist democratic leaders have known for centuries to change the thought process it must be taught at a young age

Get them while they’re young and vulnerable as their open minds are easy to engage

Brainwashing was used by Hitler, currently used by Kim Jong-Un and our country’s socialist school teachers to educate our youth

America is a place to hate, freedom is to be controlled by the government, ambition is frowned upon and that’s the truth

It took years but the population as a whole is an election away from being in their control

Pull the cops off the streets, send the public behind barricaded doors and let mobs patrol

The question is in the end will this movement cause any group to advance

Or perhaps it’s an organized effort by the democrats to leave nothing to chance

Roads are blocked, businesses burned, monuments ripped down and people parade

When the harsh reality to this mob rule demonstration is the participants are being played

Has this movement improved the impoverished or quelled the hunger in a small child

Blame it on the opposition, their idea of working for a living, tolerance of others and family life is to be reviled

Will this idea of new American government dependency be embraced

Or will the people in the movement wind up being further displaced

Will the human resource person in trying to manage diversity scrutinize the black job candidate

If employed would this person fit in, be a team player and pull her weight

Or would there exist a sense of chip on the shoulder entitlement based on the color of her skin

Feasibly it would be easier to go with the Latino candidate’s appreciation of employment and that would be a win win.
