Trump Threatening 10% Tariff On Denmark and European Nation Nations Opposing U.S. Greenland Acquisition

 

Trump needs to drop his plans to force Greenland to be purchased by the U.S. or become a state to acquire
imposing tariffs of 10% on Denmark and European nations  that deny U.S. obtaining Greenland may cause NATO as bulwark against Russian aggression to expire
Russia invaded Ukraine because it was not a member of NATO protected by Article 5
If all European NATO members, Canada and the U.S. responded the slaughter of Russian troops in WWII would be revived
If in desperation Russia used its nukes
To save from destruction its troops
The conflict would quickly escalate
And destruction of both sides, China and North Korea would be their fate
And a nuclear winter would affect the entire planet
With population reduced by starvation returning to the stone age all small bands of survivors would regret
To insure NATO continues as a deterrent and the nukes fettered remain
Make Greenland a member of NATO or enter treaties that provide that Article 5 for Greenland reigns

IOC Refuses To Ban 2028 Olympics in L.A.

 

The U.S. Olympic Committee was breathing a sigh of relief
The IOC was being asked to ban the 2028 Olympics in L.A. that would have caused us a world of grief|
The IOC refused the request keeping politics from interfering with sports
The ban would have been a financial disaster to L.A. if the 2068 Summer Olympics were subject to abort
Good chance a few countries in protest may the Summer Olympics Boycott
But given Maduro’s record of smuggling drugs it should be a minor onslaught
Too dollars in construction for the host city to put at risk
The IOC could levy sanctions if a large number of boycotters exist
It is tragic that politics have corrupted sports
Newscasters have strayed from results when they report

Shades of Rocky Mountain Hig; 4 Rocky Mountain States Awash In Illegal Drugs From Mexican Cartels

 

John Denver wrote and sang Rocky Mountain High in 1972 to reach number 9 on Billboard’s Hot One Hundred and was viewed as by drug use encumbered
Denver responded extolling the beauty and the pristine mountains’ destruction
Caused by all manner of high priced construction
The FCC briefly ruled that the song was promoting drug abuse and banned the song
The 7^th stanza “Friends around the campfire, everybody’s high” soon did not belong Denver died in 1997 when his ultralight aircraft ran out of fuel fell out of the sky
The 7^th Stanza now should be changed to “Friends around the campfire getting high to soon die
In Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming—the DEA seized approximately 8.7 million fentanyl pills and over 3,000 pounds of methamphetamine in 2025
Probably enough to leave very few in the Mountain States alive
The drugs in a flood are flooding into the Mountain States by drug cartels
The vans, trucks and cars smuggling the drugs should be treated like narco boats and sent to Hell
Mexico will not lift a finger stop the illegal drug flow
We must prevent dollars to into the U.S. go

Leaving Pinecrest Ridge as Result Of Insurance and Medicare Budget

 

Appreciation Poem for Staff At Pelican Ridge

The New Year’s celebrations have come to an end
Along with resolutions that our behavior to the trash can we send
But at Pelican Ridge the staff does not adhere to that trend
Outstanding patient care from meds, rehab, cuisine, diaper changes, to room cleaning never end
Too many staff to accolades to disburse
From the CMA’s to the long hours of supervision by the nurses
Sadly, given Medicare and insurance budgets a patient’s stay here is cut short
Despite Pelican Ridge’s best efforts too soon a patient’s stay is subject to abort
Never a complaint or at the patient pointing a finger of blame
When a patient when being moved suffers pain
A patient quickly hears “I’m so sorry” refrain
This poet has gratitude beyond belief
And leaves here thanking all the staff and in departing feels a lot of grief
I wish all the staff well and to proceed to advance their careers
It has been a real pleasure being here!

when Will Putin Run Out of Troops Willing to Die In Ukraine?

 

Before making a frontal charge the Soviets would large amounts of vodka guzzle
Yell “Hurrah!” then be slaughtered by massed German machine gun muzzles
Repeat the charges again and again with more Soviet corpses on the ground
In numbers that even to the Germans manning their Spandau’s would astound
Not Having gained any ground and  having lost too many troops to another frontal charge mount
But for certain the dead lying on the ground were too numerous to count
In Afghanistan the Soviet’s ill-fated invasion of that nation lasted a little over 10 years
While some 20,000 dead Soviets in cemeteries appeared
Too many Stingers causing dead and caused the Soviets to withdraw
Invading a  nation that fought invaders to the last man and killing some 2 million civilians was a fatal flaw
During the war, Putin was a Lieutenant Colonel in the KGB
Serving far from the battlefields in Dresden, East Germany
Explains why for four years he is not willing despite some 20,000 Russians a  month killed, ready to quit
And will his declining number of troops to Ukraine battlefield commit
Until Russian draftees ape those in the U.S. to Canada choosing to flee
Putin at the table negotiating an end to the and U.S. sanctions we will see
He needs to relearn history that bombs, V-1’s and V-2, did not bring England to its knees
Nor Germany that endured 1000 plane bombings day and night
Despite their cities reduced to ruin the German military did give up its fight

Clintons Facing Contempt of Congress While Monica Moves On

 

The Clintons subject to a valid subpoena before an House Oversight Committee refused to appear
He faces a fine of not more than $100,000 and imprisonment for up to one year|
Blues when it comes to Trump have “chanted no one is above the law”
But if a Blue official denies a subpoena the sounds of silence show their chants are flawed
The Clintons were subpoenaed for their roles in the Epstein sexual scandal
A coverup of which the MSM will have a hard time to handle
At the same time Monica Lewinsky while admitting her part in the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal
Blasted Clinton for his abuse of power that left her life in shambles
Driving her into isolation with thoughts of suicide
After seven years the suicidal thoughts would finally subside|
She’s moving on as an activist, speaker and producer and becoming part of Hollywood’s elite
While Bill is becoming in another scandal to his legacy defeat
Full circle again as Clinton’s possible sexual misdeeds this time with Epstein and his Lolita Express Where female minors did more than just undress|
nd Clinton’s sexual escapades moved to the White House
And involved probably more than Lewinsky removing her blouse
Doubt if voters were polled whether they wanted in the White House a pervert as the First Man
Which was another reason why HRC’s expected coronation was tossed into the trash can

Soros Major Threat to Condservatives

 

Philadelphia for many years had the “City of Brotherly” name
But in recent years the name was lost with neighborhoods of violent crime to blame
Certain areas were unsafe in the day and night, experiencing poverty and white flight
Violent crime is enhanced by the selections of George Soros a noted philanthropist
|Who contributes moneys to causes and candidates to leftists who conservatists resist|
In Philadelphia Blue D.A. Larry Krasner is attacked for being soft on crime,
A charge levied against Krasner any many Soros funded candidates too many times|
Soros, with his inexhaustible funds for liberal candidates, is to conservatives opponents a major threat
No matter how many volunteers, contributors or strength of platform, Soros’s donations may his advantages offset
