Dear Katharine, I'm so sorry to hear bout your dear sister and this makes me feel very guilty because I've been taking a bit of an elective break from my own sister (only sibling). I've been missing your lovely, humorous posts, always a pleasure to read. I don't know what to say anymore about US politics. The country is so divided. But your frustration and disbelief in these two are evident in your well crafted 5-7-5. Good luck and take care Debbie

    Thank you, Debbie!. You are truly a lovely person, always so kind.
    I do miss my sister so much. We talked on the phone everyday, and I am really at a loss.
    Sometimes taking a break is good. My youngest sister has disengaged herself from me and my sister who died, for years and when I called her to tell her about Pat, she immediately wanted to take charge of the funeral. Couldn't believe it.
    Anyway,as to our politics, I can hardly watch the news. sometimes I don't.
    BUT, I truly thank you again for your always neat responses!

    It's always a pleasure to review your work, Katharine. It's a difficult time for you but your profile pic and your humour always suggest to me that you'll get through life with a smile, come what may:) Love Debbie xx

I've often thought the same thing! We'll have to see what happens at the convention. Michelle?? Thank you for the poem, and good luck in the contest.

    thank you. Their machine is so huge, it is truly scary and maddening.

Hi Katharine,
I'm glad to see that you're writing again. I'm scared to death that the election will once again be stolen. A friend mentioned, rightfully I believe, that whoever wins this year, at least half of the country will be up in arms. We can't afford another four years of Uncle demented and the people who are pulling his strings. When China owns us totally, will those who sold us out be safe? They should probably consider that. There is no honor amongst thieves.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

    I am, too and I fear for Trump's life.
    I don't think they will be safe (those who sold us out). If they can sell us out they can sell others out, too, if need be.
    I started to write something funny, but there's nothing funny about what's going on.
    I hope you can go on your vacation and just enjoy. You got some good music to play in the car? Don't turn on the news. :)
    I hope you survive the long drives.
    Thanks for reading my poem. Going to try to get away from politics!
    Hard to do, though.
    Take care,

    I hope I can enjoy myself. It's so blasted expensive to do anything. I'm not looking forward to the traffic, but as much as possible I'm going to avoid the bigger cities and go on the back roads.
reply by the author on 06-Apr-2024
    might as well see the countryside when you're going on vacation - backroads are scenic - except they take longer.

Well maybe if they hadn't been yelling impeach, impeach, to the one guy who was trying to set things straight, maybe we wouldn't be looking at these two bozos on your post right now. I'm not saying I love Trump so much but the whole time he was trying to do something for our country, that is all I heard from the dems, IMPEACH!! What were they afraid of, that biden's shady behavior in China would be found out, or hunter would be caught? Both of these guys are jokes. In fact, why don't you draw a little clown make up on your picture. Now that would be funny. What a couple of idiots. Hmmmm, can you tell I am not a democrap??
For you, great job! Sorry, I just don't have the time for the guys who have ruined my grandchildren's future.

    I had originally written a vitriolic blurb in the author's notes, but decided to leave it be.
    Thanks for reading, Deb.
    Sad note. My precious sister, Pat, died last week in S.C., unexpectedly. She had a heart attack by herself on her horse farm, and had presence of mind to call 911. She's out in the country and they took soo long getting there, she had another one. She had papers saying she didn't want to be resuscitated, so she died. We usually talked every night on the phone. I really miss her.

    Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry: can I let others know or would you like to keep it private? I feel so bad for you!

reply by the author on 05-Apr-2024
    Whatever you think, Deb.
    We were only 22 months apart and very close. I always thought I'd be the first to go, being the oldest. the thing that kills me, she died by herself.
    Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it.

It is a sad situation. Biden needs all the help he can get, even if it's from Obama. I wish we had some better choices. Your rhyme is a great addition. Biden definitely isn't up to the job of president. Obama wasn't so hot as president, either. I can't believe that Michelle would be seriously considered for president. Best of luck to you. judi

    thanks, Judy. Michele doesn't even like America, but I can't believe she would be considered either, except look at empty -headed Kamalahaha. I wonder who has the most gaffs to date, Kamala or Biden? Bet it's close.

I found it very funny! Anyone who thinks President Biden is running this country is either a fool or a fool!

Unfortunately, I think it is much more sinister than a mere Obama puppet. I think the dems are financially beholding to the Chinese government. It is why they are always pandering to them. Bad times ahead for America.

I expect these two will support each other, but the look on Obama's face says it all. Who is this man called Biden? Is he of sound mind? I think not. A poignant post. Love Dolly x

    He is the destroyer of a nation! A criminal in my mind. Everything he does is for himself (power and riches) and our enemies - NOTHING for this country.
    Thanks for reading Dolly. We are in a pitiful state. The judges, blue state dignitaries, the FBI and CIA are with him, also and very importantly, the press. And saddest of all, a lot of American young people who don't know what they're talking about. And the Democrats, of course.

I know, really I do. The thought of Biden/Obama for the fourth misery tour, makes me nauseous. Hopefully, something cataclysmic will happen before the election. I have a write in vote planned for now. Neither Biden or Trump is satisfactory to me. Praying a new horse enters the race, a good horse.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the vote.

    Thanks, Sally.
    Sad note, here.
    My precious sister died last week, and I am just devastated. We talked on the phone every single day and I catch myself reaching for the phone. She lived in S.C.
    Thanks, again, sweet lady.

I don't understand what you are trying to say and so I will ignore that and mark it on the fact it rhymes and that it has the correct number of syllables. Good Luck in the competition maybe Americans will get it. I am not American.

    Sorry not to be clear. Obama was a disaster President for 2 years, then he, with the help of George Soros and the World Economic Forum, and others, are putting millions in to get Biden back in office in 2024, who is an empty shell that can control- pardon - a lying empty shell, with Obama again coaching him. It is sickening.
    Thank you for reading it and for marking it for your reasons! It is much appreciated!
