Pome lover,
Well, this is a long poetic rant. Good for you for speaking your mind.
I agree with most all of what you have written..though Trump started Operation Warp speed and is/was a puppet too.

Anna Linda, thanks for responding and saying what you think. this is what I hoped would happen. good, friendly discussion.
question: who do you think was pulling Trump's strings? I think he was his own man.
-
He's a Freemason - their loyalty is to their visions above all other vows.
It would be difficult to find this information...but it can be found.
Even his Trump tower has Freemason signs all over it. Also, he was quite disturbed over the Albert Pike statue being attacked. Not that I'm a Biden fan...They are all corrupt. Some just play a different part with a different personality.
-
well, personally, and 75 million people agreed, I think he did an excellent job, and the present administration's ONLY concern is undoing it, which is despicable.
-
That is despicable.
Biden is roaring for war.
It probably won't be long off.
-
well, I certainly hope not. The awful thing is those who are "running the show" don't know what in the heck they are doing. Or rather, maybe they do, but they are creating one mess after another.

You were brave to outline and share your thoughts and feelings, Pome Lover. You have great, verifiable facts to support your comments. You presented this in a non-judgemental way. You are entitled to your opinion. I enjoyed reading it. Those high dollar athletes who disrespect our flag should be dropped of in another country like China or Iran to see what would happen.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from judiverse
Wow! Don't hesitate to tell us how you feel. I share many of the same feelings. We are going down the wrong path, for sure. My state of Indiana is getting criticism for its proposed new voting law. I don't know why it's such a hardship for people to come up with an ID. They don't even have to have a driver's license, as other forms of ID will work. Because of more people voting by mail, I think it's only right to do what Georgia's doing and
make changes to make the mail in ballots secure. You could probably make this sound more poetic by omitting some words. judi

I am venting, Judi, for sure, because I am afraid for this country and what is being done to it right now. I invite people to tell me why they aren't upset also. What they like about what Biden is doing? Maxine Waters, if she were a conservative, the press would have crucified her.
I think only citizens of the US should be allowed to vote, period.
Having an ID doesn't make anyone a US citizen.
If we don't stand up an say something, people will just sit by and let things go on like they are.
I think more people should speak up.
I appreciate your response. thank you.
-
I know what you mean. I'm very concerned about what's happening to the country. judi
Comment from Jennifer L Newcomb
One of the freedoms we have is the freedom to agree to disagree. There will always be some that believe this and others that believe that. How we treat one another, well that is a condition of one's heart. BLM is about Banishing Liberty because freedom matters. I am with you, sick down to my inner core, praying without ceasing for the sleepers to wake up! We are slaves in a system and it has always been. Just because we didn't recognize or see it, doesn't make it less true. This is a spiritual war not a physical one. God is no longer going to protect or prosper the United States. The people have spoken and put their creator in place (so to speak). The long suffering and patience that He has already shown, to me is the epitome of His grace and love. A Great falling away of faith and love growing cold are the days we are in. Those of us who are awake who know the Lord God should be as anguished in our hearts for the lost and He is. Forgive them for they know not what they do! Perishing for lack of knowledge, sadly not wanting knowledge of any kind. The cross is foolish to those that are perishing and I would be confident in saying that for every 1 believer there are 10 who don't. No one is willing to sacrifice one hour to watch and pray. The matter of the heart IS the heart of the matter!

Jenifer, thank you for the lovely 6 and for your comments. My sister who is a good Christian and prays constantly, thinks God is watching and waiting to see if we do a turn around. There are Christian groups training young people to combat the horrible thing kids are being taught today. She used to think He would step in and save us, now, I think she believes He is letting us "make our own bed and lie in it" as the old expression goes. Hopefully that won't happen.
Comment from robyn corum
Katharine,
Great message. I'm not sure exactly what this WAS - in form or style, but it reads like a perfectly justified rant. *smile* I agreed with one hundred and fifteen percent of what you said and how you said it. These are some crazy times. Thanks!

thanks, Robyn, I think I just got so involved, any style or form went out the window. As you could tell, I just feel we need to speak up, and maybe get people to really think and hopefully speak up, too.
I think Conservatives have been quiet and nice for too long.
Thanks again.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
I am so sorry I don't have any six stars left. This is a superlative post.
Everything you say is so utterly true and hopefully will be read and noted as an important document, by many.
The Constitution was a well-drafted document produced to safeguard the population against what the Founding Fathers left behind. Has everyone forgotten why they sailed the dangerous sea to an unknown land?
Bravo!

Thank you so much, Ralf. As you can see, I feel very strongly that we are in big trouble.
It will be interesting to see the response. So far, three positive ones. Several read it but didn't respond.
I truly do not understand the Democrat view, though I understand they are losing members in New York and other places where they mishandled the pandemic with over long, too strict lockdowns, etc.
What the pundits are saying is that they know in 2022, they are going to lose a bunch of seats in the House and Senate, so they are going all out, Katy bar the door! to get what they want. They care not for the people.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Wow! This is a powerful write. The mood in America of unrest is worrying and the people are suffering. It was noted in the UK that racism was on the decline and much progress had been made in this area. Then a black MP fought back and ranted about how untrue it was. No matter how positive we are, there is always someone who is unhappy with themselves and wants to tear down the good in people. A poignant write, love Dolly x

Thanks, Dolly.
The pundits on FOX News are saying that the Democrats know that in 2022 they are going to lose seats in the House and the Senate, so they are going "balls to the wall" to get what they want. They don't care about the people.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
If somebody can hear you, but they choose to go with the flow: "Our children are being taught that America is a bad country, that we are racist, that white supremacy is rampant. Lies. They are told that they can be either sex they want to be and be surgically or hormonally altered without their parents' permission! These teachers should be fired." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

well, they may just "flow" themselves into a life of total government control.
I wish they'd speak up and answer my questions.
What did they not like about their lives before Biden? And what do they like about it now?

At least your States are opening, we are closing :( and as you know already I don't like the mummy from the White House
Comment from T B Botts
I applaud you for speaking what's on your mind. It's unfortunate that so many people are afraid to say what they are really feeling, but others are so bold as to say whatever comes to mind without any concern of repercussions whatsoever. I, too would like for us to have pride in our country again, to return to a sense of integrity and moral responsibility, to have politicians who represent all the people all the time, not just the K street lobbyist in Washington. We're living in a different time, but the natural laws don't change just because we say they do. There is still a law of sowing and reaping. You can't plant grapes and grow potatoes. Neither can you put God on the back burner, as America has done, and expect his blessings. Thanks for sharing what's on your heart.

thank you, Tom, for understanding and for expressing your thoughts, too!
I can't help but wonder what God is going to do about it, or if there will be something that just finishes us off.

You have used several literary techniques. Your alliteration is catchy and will capture the reader. Your hard sounding consonants carry the message of firmness.

Liz, that is the kindest response from someone who probably disagrees with me. Thank you for your positive input and restraint.

I most often review as I did when I taught. I heard a teacher who is on you tube reviewing some poems, & songs. She said something that struck me. She said now that she's not teaching writing, she is satisfying that need by doing her you tube program. I realized doing reviews here satisfies that need for me. Two of my best friends & I have agreed to never discuss religion or politics. Because of this, I have kept one friend since '72 and the other since the 80's.

if they don't feel the same way you do about politics and you are old friends, I can see why you don't.
sometimes I use this platform to say what I think and ask for opinions - if they want to give them, fine, if not, okay too.
