Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2023!

‘Twas the night before Christmas And all through the night, Biden's pet puppies Were ready to bite!   The Dems will run Biden GOP will have Trump While most of the nation Want both of them dumped!   Biden's their man. The race is but done, Yet most of his party Don’t want him to run. Biden is fit! His mind is so keen, Part of his charm? His gaffe-making machine!     Trump is in charge. His nomination can’t fail. But will he be running From a federal jail?     The country’s divided Will this be our fate? Who needs peace and love When we’re nourished by hate?   McCarthy was in. McCarthy was out. Santos was in. Now Santos is out!   With a few civil trials, And 91 counts Trump's polling goes up And his legal bills mount.   The best news for Trump That fits well with his style Was the political gift Of criminal trials!   GOP in the House In search of a speaker, Thumbs down on Jim Jordan

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2022!

  The Dems were all nervous Back in October. The Red Wave was coming! Would their blue reign be over? The tables had turned, After November, This midterm result Will be long remembered.   Deniers fell short, One by one, And the public ensured That democracy won.   With the House barely red, And the Senate still blue, Might we move beyond ‘I win so you lose’?   The last 2 guys standing Were Raphael and Herschel. We were finally spared Their endless commercials.   On his own time, Trump did announce, While a new special counsel Is ready to pounce.   Lurking in waiting, A stealth praying mantis, Eyeing his prey Is Ron DeSantis.   Biden is 80 Is he the Dem’s best shot? If he steps aside, Who else have they got?   Wishing you all, Good health and good cheer, And prayers to enjoy, A much better year.            

Independence Day 2022

We are not, thank the Almighty, engaged in a civil war.  But it does seem that we are waging a war on civility.  Rage, anger, violence, division, hate and fear have crept into every corner.  Politics is increasingly regarded as a zero sum game.  Compromise and accommodation are considered by many to be signs of weakness.  If I can't get everything I want, then you will get nothing.  Should this be our modus operandi? And the country is in pain.  We are still suffering from the aftershocks of a horrendous pandemic.  Our kids lost a year of education.  Inflation is roaring ahead with no clear end in sight.  A recession with rising unemployment may be just around the corner.  Folks are scared.   A war in Europe reminds us that democracy is at risk. Political campaigns have taken on a coarse vulgarity that mirrors the erosion of etiquette and decorum at large.  The January 6th hearings, while necessary, are only further dividing a fractured nation.  And as all of this was boiling over,

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2021!

       ‘ Twas the night before Christmas And all through the House, Progressives were screaming, ‘Are you a man or a mouse?’   They wanted it all. No matter the cost. They wanted it now. So much would be lost.   The voted for Biden, Who now is their tool, And dream of ‘reforming’ The filibuster rule.   Pelosi’s been smacked, And Schumer’s been bruised. Does Biden realize That he’s being used?   And while Biden is napping In the White House mansion, The man of the moment, Is Senator Joe Manchin.   And while mainstream Dems Fight with the ‘Squad’, The real threat they face? A circular firing squad! GOP are no better. They have no spines. Trump is their leader. He is divine!   Liz Cheney is out For telling the truth. While others are praised For being uncouth.   How do Republicans The few decent legislators, Run in a primary When they’ll be called ‘Traitors!’?   Kevin McCarthy Unhinged and unraveled,

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2019!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the House, All the creatures were plotting, Claiming Trump was a….RAT! We have Schiff and Nadler And, of course, Madame Speaker, Who are as transparent, As the Anonymous leaker! Our Democracy might fail, Our Dem statesmen teach, So what choice do they have But to hold hands and impeach. When Mueller fell flat, They all felt the pain, But, the Lord heard their prayers And POOF – came Ukraine! With so many versions How could we know If Trump really offered A quid pro quo. The witnesses swore Trump’s plan was – Extort! Jim Jordan responded With a loud bleating snort. And with all of this static Some can’t be heard, When the candidates speak, We hear nary a word. So Warren and Bernie, (And Blitzen and Dasher) Have been squelched and muzzled. By the Candidate Crashers. When it all ends And the Senate says, No! No minds will change. I told you so!

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2018!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the House, The creatures were stirring, And ready to pounce! Why wait for Mueller? What could he teach? We already know That we must IMPEACH! With Dems in the House So anxious to blame, Their strategy is… Ready! Fire! Aim! Both Chuck and Nancy, Will not take the fall, Not on their watch, Will there be a wall.  The Dems are all joined, In salivation, At the prospect of, Investigation! We watch GOP Twirl and deflect, Supporting a man, They just won’t reject. The only Repubs Who show any fire, Are senators who Announced they’ll retire.  While all of us watch With ire and confusion On Russia and Stormy And ‘No Collusion!’ The press and our pols Care nothing for us It’s ratings and votes That drive their bus.  Is there no honest man True to the bone Who can rescue us all, Perhaps, Michael Cohen? And Dancer and Blitzen And Warren and Boo

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2017!

Dashing through the swamp Through caves of muck and mire Where folks are much afeard That someone wears a wire. Repeal, replace went down Mitch played a losing hand Which traitor killed the bill? Susan, John or Rand? Now, onto tax reform, With just a minor glitch, It crushes us with debt Excepting all the rich! Does Rexie have to go, For someone with more steel, Who believes with heart and soul. In Art of the Deal? The Dems kicked Franken out Of this they were so sure, They needed to stampede To prep for Judge Roy Moore. The Dems and GOP Whose mantra is ‘Attack’! Sometimes face to face, Or sometimes in the back! Soon this year will end, Will next year be duller? I doubt this will occur Once we hear from Mueller! Some want Trump to go. But does this move make sense? Would they really want President Mike Pence? Joy and Peace!  W

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2016!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Romney’s at the door, Standing there with cup in hand, “Please sir, may I have some more?” Who will be the chief at State? Mitt or Dave or Rudy? How ‘bout tough guy JR Bolton? Isn’t he a beauty? Kellyanne, she’s our man! Smiling like a shark, Oh what fun it is to see Her ever present snark. Hillary, gets shellacked! Trump has doused her flame, Except for Comey, racists, assorted haters, Fox News, deplorables, poor messaging, Russians and Wiki leaks, She freely accepts the blame. How did he win? How did she lose? Did she have disdain For forgotten heartland’s pleas, While he felt their pain? Will we ever see the wall? Mexico pays the bill? Or was that just campaign red meat. A huckster’s ‘sugar pill’? The game is done. We must move on And think of lessons learned. Demonizing couldn’t halt Millions who’ve been spurned.  I challenge you to reach inside And summon your good sense Is P

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2015!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Cruz is ridin’ high, Jeb is lagging way behind, But tells us he’s our guy.  Trump is here, Trump is there, Trump is everywhere, Promising we’ll be as great, As his golden hair.  Walker’s gone, Perry’s out, And Jindal, “Not my time”. Lindsey Graham is begging us, “Please send me a dime.” Carly has a pretty face, Christie’s slimming down. Pataki sports a comb over, Santorum wears a frown. Huckabee, with a smile Gives fire and brimstone ash, Carson says, “I stabbed a guy!” Kasich trolls for cash. Who among these flapping jaws, Will be the next to fall? Who can make the case for ‘Prez’? Pataki or Rand Paul? Hillary’s in the catbird seat. Bernie just can’t hit. The GOP in unison ‘Oh where, oh where is Mitt!’ Wishing you Joy and Peace!

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2014!

T’was the week before Christmas And all through the House, Boehner was stirring No longer a mouse The Senate as well In GOP hands Girding for battle With toothless demands. No government shutdown That never played well. Impeachment would surely Damn them to hell. Executive orders, No self-deport. Why diss the Congress? He does it for sport! In 2016, Are Repubs aware, That they need a candidate With Romney’s hair? GOP are no saints They carp and complain, Blaming Obama With dripping disdain. “He’s a king or a czar. It’s all been a ruse.” We know this is true It was on Fox News. So will there be progress? Will they join hands? Can we have hope? As we watch from the stands? Or can we expect, More of the same, Bickering, sniping And pointing the blame? Will Jeb give the nod? Can Hillary lose? Or Dancer or Prancer, Or maybe Ted Cruz? Sit back and relax, For the start of the show,

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2012!

Jingle Frost Romney Lost Obamacare is here Brought to us by the Dems With promises and fear. Fiscal Cliff Might be teriff! Sailing through the air Watching Boehner and the Pres Pretending that they care. Susan Rice Playing Nice Charging in reverse Kissing up to GOP Who now say she is worse. Taxes Rise Before your eyes While the masses cheer Will Medicare go on the block? Let’s punt this 'til next year! Obama plan Kick the can And claim that it's progress. Who's to blame? You know his name. George Bush has caused this mess! Wishing You Joy and Peace!

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2011!

Jingle Bells, jingle bells, Romney cracks a smile, Oh what fun it is to watch The Gingrich pompous style. Bachman bleats, Cain retreats, Huntsman tries to please. Oh what fun it is to watch, When Perry’s brain goes freeze! Ron Paul’s weird, Very weird, Santorum has no chance, Oh what fun it is to watch His Tea Party romance. Who will win? Who will Spin? Who won Debatorama? The winner dancing in the streets Is Barack Obama! Wishing you Joy & Peace

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2010!

Readers immerse In my rhymed universe And decide if my verse Is for better or worse. An imam, a rabbi Along with a priest, Were seated together At a holiday feast. They smiled and they laughed And enjoyed swapping jokes. Can you believe They ducked out for a smoke? Was their bonhomie real Or just a facade? Didn’t they pray To the very same God? When together as men Without enmity, Walls can be broken They realized, all three. Can you still scorn a man And give him the blame? When you raise up your glass And toast him by name? When it’s all over And the three of them part Will they remember The warmth in their hearts? Or will the noise and the static And political din, Return them once more To division and sin? Who will you choose To your table this year? Family and friends Who come year after year? Perhaps, there are guests Who could join you this time, Who could sing at your hearth. Together in rhyme. There are friends on

Whistleblower Holiday Cheer 2009!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, In the Senate and House, Health reform creatures Were giddy and soused. The horses were traded, And promises made, Nelson and Landrieu Were handsomely paid. Some will be winners, And others will lose. The majority strategy?  Scare and confuse! The conference is coming Where sausage is made, Which plan will survive? Neither! We prayed. A government option And sugarplum fees, Isn’t the cure Of our health care disease. “Now Harry! Now Nancy! On Dodd and on Baucus!” With a wink and a twinkle, They held tight their caucus. The Dems all agreed One item must fall. Now dash away! Dash away! Tort reform all! Then with a crash Through the chimney that night, Popped out Barack With a smile of delight. He promised reform Turning debt into wealth. The better plan may be To pray for good health. He raced through the chambers, Looking merry and droll Giving Dems sparkling diamonds To the GOP - coal. In a flash he was gone, And away sailed his sleigh. Why do
