“These two manuscripts are clearly plagiarisms,” the editor said,tossing them angrily on the floor. "Melania Trump has clearly lifted  much of the content from the former 2008 speech of FLOTUS Michelle Obama".

"Oh, I almost forgot...We are the champions of the world!"

P.S. Turns out Melania is a college drop-out, as well; and she lied about this BIG-TIME!

AS YOU ONCE STOOD WITH US, WE (AGAIN) STAND WITH YOU...

*BASTILLE DAY 2016*

Before the terror comes the tyranny.
A bloodstained flower has roots in bloodstained soil.
Some would steal the fruit of others' toil,
Then claim it as a right of property.
In revolutions, though, if chaos reigns,
Legitimacy is lost, and many will
Look back with less distaste at former ill,
Eager more for order than for gains.
Days of terror yield dictators new,
As the many yield power to the few,
Yearning for the clarity of chains.

Beware of inequalities too wide
And chasms that cannot be bridged by dreams.
Societies fray first along the seams,
Then rip apart, exposing rot inside.
In chaos hopes for liberty abide;
Life in its Edenic newness gleams;
Longing is more brutal than it seems;
Ecstatic demons 'cross the wastelands glide.
Do, then, recall the day of the Bastille
As one whose burst of glory would reveal
Yearnings that would stain the turning tide.

VIVE LA FRANCE

THOSE "DOGGEREL DAYS" of SUMMER…

THEY ARE  A COMIN'

Sirius rises late in the dark, liquid sky

On summer nights, star of stars,

Orion's Dog they call it, brightest

Of all, but an evil portent, bringing heat

And fevers to suffering humanity…

GREAT JOB, NICOLE W. …

A MOST FAIR AND BALANCED INTERVIEW…

THE PROBLEM IS CLEARLY "THE PEOPLE"; THEY'RE SIMPLY NOT THAT BRIGHT…

WHEN IGNORANT PEOPLE CHOSE A 

SCHOOL-YARD BULLY, THIS 

SPEAKS VOLUMES

ON A RATHER PERSONAL NOTE, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE MADE OUR INTENTIONS EXTRAORDINARILY CLEAR: 

It matters not whether we are dealing with family, friends or mere acquaintances: those members who chose to cast their vote for Trump this November will no longer be welcome in our home. PERIOD.

Furthermore, we'll hold you in shame. It would be better to just stay home.

MY OWN PICS WILL NEVER MEASURE UP !!!

here are my best attempts!

HAPPY 
FOURTH!!!
