Even More . . .

. . . hours

An idea is conceived
Amid so much 'who knows what'
Whether forced
Or just flowing
Bringing contentment

Then building upon
That initial idea
With a flourish
Or lyrical twist
That you hear
Gives a character to it
And promotes growth
Not unlike raising a child
Or meeting the love
Of your life

More Lying . . .

(from http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/even-iraq-trump-cant-bring-himself-tell-the-troops-the-truth?cid=sm_fb_maddow&fbclid=IwAR2M2ILJV7xVfBWY5CBMshrG2H5P6Hy4cUdAX998g1xjuYF1A8-82AiirNI)
". . . as part of his pitch, Trump repeated a claim he must know isn’t true. . . “You just saw that because you just got one of the biggest pay raises you’ve ever received. . . It’s great. You know what? Nobody deserves it more. You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years – more than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one. I got you a big one. . .“They had plenty of people that came up. They said, ‘You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3 percent. We could make it 2 percent. We could make it 4 percent.’ I said, ‘No. Make it 10 percent. Make it more than 10 percent.’ Because it’s been a long time. It’s been more than 10 years. It’s been more than 10 years. That’s a long time. And, you know, you really put yourselves out there, and you put your lives out there. So congratulations.”. . . It’s one thing for the president to peddle this lie at pre-election campaign rallies, but it’s worse when he travels halfway around the world to lie to the troops’ faces. . ."

More Hours . . .

On and on flow the hours
Like rolling waves upon the sea
And like so many and so varied flowers
Each one some nectar for the bee

We're keeping tabs and writing numbers
Logging each minute in the book
We have a choice to
Either dread the counting
Or see the forest if we look

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

There’s no protection from the power
Generated everyday
The blazing lights shine
From each lofty tower
To illuminate the way

Things that never occur to you
In the spring
Become clear with each
Passing season

All options must be on the table
All points of view be understood
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing you’re able
Make sure you do those which are good

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

The Hours

Thou . . .

. . . shalt not generalize . . .

(from https://www.facebook.com/RFValues2/ [Republican Family Values])

". . . After two years in office, at least one thing about Trump has become predictable, writes James Risen. He reacts violently whenever Mueller appears to be making progress in his investigation. Never forget that everything Trump does is about saving his own skin. . ."

Achievement . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-approved-government-shutdown-fitting-end-paul-ryan-s-disappointing-ncna951176)
". . . in 2017, (Rep. Speaker of the House, Paul) Ryan led the charge for more tax cuts that the Congressional Budget Office estimated will increase deficits by nearly $2 trillion. The tax bill was arguably one of the biggest special-interest giveaways in modern history. Ryan called it his biggest achievement. . ."

Which One . . .

. . . did he really mean? . . . or. . . does he even really know?

(from https://thehill.com/policy/defense/308364-trump-picks-mattis-for-defense-secretary-report)
". . .Mattis has been seen as a top contender for the job since he met with Trump earlier this month. . . After the meeting, Trump heaped praised on Mattis, calling him the “real deal” and a “brilliant, wonderful man.”. . ."

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/23/us/politics/trump-mattis.html)
". . . After initially praising Mattis in announcing his resignation last week, Trump jabbed his top military official on Saturday, tweeted that he gave the retired four-star general "a second chance" after former President Barack Obama "ingloriously fired" him. Mattis led U.S. Central Command from 2010 to 2013, but his time at the helm was cut short because of disagreements with the Obama administration on Iran. . ."
