PC Stand Killing MIZZOU In Terms Of Enrollment And Donors

MIZZOU may have a great football team
But when it comes to graduation rates it is getting creamed
At MIZZOU, in four years less than one in two students graduate
And after watching journalism professor Melissa Click strong-arm  the press, its touted journalism school is third rate
Americans are not stupid especially parents who have to scrimp or borrow to send their kids to school
An outrage by parents and donors after disruptions and protests at MIZZOU became not the exception but the rule
Almost 10 grand a year for an education that appears to be only an education  in name
Entering a job market with a lack of skills that should this university shame
No wonder enrollment and donations have continued to drop
With ideologues like Melissa Click on PC ideas over the top
College should be a time for students to the discussion of ideas and issues exchange
Where academic exploration should be given an unfettered range
Not a time to close inquiring minds
To not see the whole world but to view it as biased blind
A warning shot to the PC world of schools like MIZZOU
Your donor base and enrollment will be poisoned by your sating on PC diversity brew

Wave Of Heroin ODs On New Haven Streets

When it comes to buying heroin on the street
No FDA labels or standards and an overdose a user is likely to greet
New Haven in the shadows of that great university known as Yale
Is now facing a wave of heroin overdoses sad tales
Not because the heroin is exceptionally strong
No because of chemicals in the fix that do not belong
The Mexican cartels that continue to push into this country their illegal drugs
All the while killing rivals, judges, cops and ordinary citizens are a bunch of ruthless thugs
More dangerous that even radical Islam
A ticking, explosive for our youth time bomb
The Trump wall would be a great idea to this scourge try to stem and prevent
Along with millions more on border security to block the flow to be spent
Unlike his reluctance to use radical Islam in the PV world to Muslims offend
Obama on this could get on board  and this flow of deadly drugs try to end
Mexico is to corrupt and the cartel drug money opens all doors and closes all eyes
But unless it and we resurrect a Phoenix program on cartel leaders like El Chappo more and more American youth will die

Britain Leaves the EU

There may always be an England but today not in the confines of the EU
Britain voted to leave and other countries may also drop their respective other shoe
Nationalism can run very deep
Control over one’s borders and laws a proud county will want to keep
Unelected bureaucrats in Brussels above any sense of voters’ laws
In Britain exposed the EU’s fatal flaw
Open borders with a flood of Islamists with havoc and Sharia seeking to impose
A time to a proud nation to rise again and its borders control if not close
We pulled the idea of a union off as a union of colonies and then states
But nations with separate languages, histories and customs and past wars face a different fate
This poet has long since given up on reactions to change to predict
 Only that in the short term financial chaos in the markets will on us all inflict
But the EU without England will move forward as will England without the EU
But Brussels bureaucrats removed from the people will suffer when as to the people’s will they are without a clue

Another Day Another HRC Email Scandal

As the Clinton email scandal continues its deceptive drip
Another disclosure in the Clinton lying and non transparentency trip
Anyone who believes this potential felon when it comes to coming clean with us has told the truth
Is a person who believes in the fairy who puts money under a child’s pillow after he or she has lost a baby tooth
Another email involving a HRC lap dog not turned over as required
Another email concealed in the Clinton deceptive fog, hidden in the nontransparent mire
When will this nation rise up and demand that the rule of law must even with a Clinton stand?
No longer will we tolerate a money grubbing quid pro quo mordida outstretched Clinton hand
When will we be rid of this felon who traded favors at State for millions of cash?
Above the law, immune, tossing any semblance of ethics into the trash
If Obama whose presidency has been a complete deceptive and dishonest joke
Wants a legacy that history might in passing have some praise to evoke
He should do the right and proper move and to Lynch instruct
Time to indict this felon for all the justice she has chosen to obstruct
A pipe dream sadly and we will muddle into the fall
With any chance to restore trust and faith in government in a mortal stall

Houston VA Scandal When Will It End?

When it comes to scandals and inefficiency the VA tops the list
Another VA Hospital in Houston caught fraudulently trying to hide wait times that continue to exist
The VA is the poster child for the disaster of the single payer health system Sanders wants to adopt
If wait times become too long the  Houston VA staffers would from the wait lists the vets drop
A nation that puts its men and women into harm’s way and then on their return with respect to care throws them under the bus
Is a nation uncaring, callous and not worthy of our armed forces’ trust
Obama provides lip service to the idea of commitment to  veterans’ medical care
While with the wait times, fraud and lack of accountability his  medical cabinet is bare
Trump really hit the problem nail squarely on the head
Due to delays many vets are ending up dead
Illegal aliens are receiving better and prompter care rather than being deported
Without firing dishonest or inept staff and managers substandard care is being supported
Obama has failed the vets and Hillary is an Obama clone
Leaving Stevens to die in the dessert; I  doubt if a devotion to vets by her will be shone
Trump will not hesitate to incompetents fire not transfer to another VA place
We owe our vets the obligation to correct this national disgrace!

Lara's Senate Bill 1146 Attacks Christian Colleges

When it comes to intolerance Ricardo Lara is easily the leader of the pack
Openly gay his Senate Bill 1146 puts faith based private universities and colleges under direct attack
No school would be able to require its students to take Biblical courses or chapel services to attend
Yet another straw in an alarming war on Christianity trend
This thin skinned politician who appears to have never held a private sector job
Is hell bent to the First Amendment from Christians try to rob
His rationale must be that if gay, bisexual, lesbian, transgender or sexual identity confused
You can’t be a Christian and so requiring chapel or Bible studies members of the LGBTQ community will be abused
He justifies the bill also by claiming all students should feel safe and secure
Granted but removing the First Amendment makes about as much sense as wallowing in a field of manure
This politician the son of illegal aliens should be the poster child of why we need a wall
And why with the anger over illegal immigration Trump may win in the fall
The left wing State Senate has already passed his bill
In this left wing state a good chance the left wing Assembly also will
Brown who actually in his earlier career wanted to become a priest
Will most likely sign it into law another example of the War on Christianity being increased
These are not public schools so the establishment clause will not allow this law
Can hardly wait to see the law challenged as this pathetic attempt to attack religion goes beyond the pale
Thank God for term limits that sooner than later will get rid of this fool

Dunce hat for him in the corner sitting on the intolerance stool

Blue Rep Fattah Convicted Of Fraud And Resigns

When it comes to corruption in Congress, corruption is party blind
Another long term Congressman has had his life unwind
To paraphrase an observation made by Lord Acton that is universal and almost impossible to refute
“All power tends to corrupt and absolute power’s corruption is absolute.”
11 term Chaka Fattah another victim of the long term power corrupts absolutely will be facing prison time
Conspiracy to defraud by misusing federal funds to repay a $1,000,000 campaign loan was his crime
Congressmen however idealist and motivated to do what for the public is right
Start changing in their idealism, some slowly, some quickly after their first election winning night
They are like the salmon in pristine color scheme returning to the streams of their birth
The idealism slowly dimming as more and more time a search for campaign funds they need to unearth
By the time a returning  salmon reaches the end of its spawning line
The pristine color scheme has long since been left behind
Purple, red, black, the skin falling off and showing increasing signs of rot
The quest for funds to stay in office making it so much easier to be bought
So much harder with the lobbyists in exchange for funds wanting to call the shots
To summon the idealism to charge the hill for the people’s needs to try to have fought
11 terms and like the salmon who spawns and then dies
The idealism of a long term member of Congress can no longer the lure of campaign funds defy
His ethics, integrity and honesty now totally bankrupt
Without term limits and campaign funding limits a political system now corrupt
The lessons of history we seem to never completely learn
Political office was supposed to be a temp calling not a means of lifetime salaries to earn.
