Always . . .

. . . and forever (to be expected, that is)
 

(from https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/520549-tax-records-show-200-companies-groups-and-foreign-governments)
". . . A New York Times analysis of tax records showed that more than 200 companies, special-interest groups and foreign governments have funneled millions of dollars to President Trump’s properties while reaping benefits from the president and his administration. . . Nearly a quarter of the entities have not been previously reported. . . Sixty patrons who promoted specific interests to the Trump administration spent almost $12 million on expenses associated with the Trump Organization during the first two years of Trump’s presidency. The Times reported nearly all of these customers saw their interests move forward. . ."

Slow . . .

. . . ride
I'm not always able to move mountains tall.
But I try my very best if I want to try at all.
If seem full of optimism,  could be bigger than I've eyed.

Roomful . . .

 

Love,
Triumphs I’ve heard,
Over all.
Is it really true?
One 
Many-splendored thing,
Conquering 
Obstacles revealed.

Gathered for this occasion, 
Politely civil in a social dance.
Mannerly; respectful discourse,
All in a room that’s full of elephants.

Talk,
Civility, 
Must be maintained
So we don’t set them free.

How many people 
Exist right here in this place,
So much the same?
Pride always goes
Before the fall so they say.
It’s like a parade.

Don’t 
Think its your own 
Imagination ‘cause its it’s real.
Though, 
Circus-like true, 
These pachyderms cannot be viewed.

In Case . . .

 

. . . you missed it . . . 

You may have tried,
Or not even known,
That we're again playing live,
And we're not all alone.

The crowds may be smaller;
But spaced safely apart.
It doesn't take a scholar
To more-wisely restart.

Still . . .

. . . more progress 

. . . on the new tune 'Elephant.' 

Gathered for this occasion 
Politely civil in a social dance
Mannerly; respectful discourse
All in a room that’s full of elephants

Pro- . . .

. . . what?

(from https://www.christianpost.com/voices/fri-2nd-embargo-for-noon-we-are-pro-life-evangelicals-for-biden.html?fbclid=IwAR1-4EYKrAIJttzUOnqG6gQmHQvM4abHfOMxZpaZM96_2Ci0vO83YxNLSJ0)". . . Prominent evangelical leaders have just released a statement urging pro-life evangelicals to vote for Joe Biden. . . The signers are diverse: a Trump voter in 2016; a lifelong Republican who refused to vote for Trump or Clinton in 2016; people who never before in their life publicly endorsed a presidential candidate until this year. . . Their statement acknowledges that “as pro-life evangelicals, we disagree with Vice President Biden and the Democratic platform on the issue of abortion.”  “But we believe,” the statement continues, “that a biblically shaped commitment to the sanctity of human life compels us to a consistent ethic of life that affirms the sanctity of human life from beginning to end. . . “The statement points out that many problems that better politics could correct violate the sanctity of human life. Poverty, lack of health care, racism and climate change all kill persons created in the image of God. They are all pro-life issues. . . Poverty and diseases we know how to prevent kill millions every year. . . Lack of health care kills people. Studies have shown that people without health insurance are less likely to visit a doctor, are more likely to have poor health, and die younger than persons with health insurance. . . Racism kills. We know that racism killed African-Americans in slavery and then later in thousands of lynchings. But even today, African-Americans are several times more likely than white Americans to be killed by the police. . . Climate change already kills untold thousands and will soon kill tens of millions unless we change. The overwhelming scientific consensus is that unless we quickly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases causing global warming that we send into the atmosphere, many millions will die. . ."
