Read My Lips

“Read my lips: no new taxes” is a phrase spoken by American presidential candidate George H. W. Bush at the 1988 Republican National Convention as he accepted the nomination on August 18. (Wikipedia)

Read my lips: stop paying federal income taxes!

I’ve been thinking about this lately only because the Democrats are trying to run America into the ground with their reckless spending, open borders, and a goal to make everything “free” to certain people living this great country of ours – people who are not legal citizens.

Let’s just call it what it is: socialism/communism.

Each morning, I read the headlines from a few online newspapers. Each night, I watch a couple of news programs on FOX. And, each day, I feel like something big is about to happen and not necessarily in a good way.

Then again, the sane people living in this country just might surprise us all and take back control of the USA.

Hand to God, I hope so!

How did it get to this – this craziness that is out of control? Did it start with President Trump who wanted nothing more than to make America energy independent, put people back to work, improve our economy, get out of agreements that caused more harm than good, and secure our southern border?

Wait. President Trump accomplished all of the above.

That can’t be it. Maybe it started with the insanity coming from the liberals who want to tear down our country and make her a socialist/communist nation. I think that’s it.

Which brings me back to let’s stop paying federal income taxes. If we stop supporting a reckless Congress with our hard-earned dollars then maybe they will have a collective reality check and understand that American citizens – the sane ones – are really pissed off.

Love Letters From the Past

Dear Love of My Life,

Today is your birthday. I did not forget.

Just the other day, I remembered one very special night when we danced in the moonlight out on that old wooden dock.

There was a chill in the air, so you slipped off your coat and put it around my bare shoulders. You gently pulled my hair out from under the collar, twisting it just a little.

The moon’s reflection on the water gave off just enough light for me to see your wonderful eyes and trace your lips with mine.

Do you remember that night? I will never forget it.

I am so very happy that I met you. You will stay in my heart, forever.

Dear Love of My Life,

You were always the smart one, in so many ways, and you never made me feel small or insignificant. You showed me a world I had never known before … a world through your eyes. Don’t blush, darling. It is true.

Late one afternoon in early spring, we drove to an island in Georgia and we got lost. Did you do that on purpose? I think you did.

We had dinner at a beautiful restaurant on the waterway. If the weather had been nicer we would have stayed outside, but it was very windy with threats of rain.

We dined for hours inside where we had a full view of the waterway and the ominous clouds. No one tried to rush us out the door.

Listening to you became one of my favorite things to do in this entire world. Did I tell you?

A year later, I visited the same restaurant in Georgia – alone this time. You were away flying the friendly skies.

I sat at the same table, and I ordered the same meal, and I looked out over the same waterway, and I thought about you.

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone

Apparently, if you live in Texas, the border patrol agents on horseback are going to be investigated for using long reins to control their horses.

If you are a screaming liberal like Maxine Waters or Joy Reid, you are accusing them of whipping illegals coming to this country from Haiti.

Give me a break!

Those two harpies have never been on a horse, much less know a thing about how to control a horse with reins. Someone should control their disgusting, filthy mouths that spout hate for all conservatives. Truly, they are about as dumb as a rock.

In all honesty, I don’t know why these agents stay in their jobs. If it were me, I would be taking early retirement and telling Joe Biden to take his border crisis and move it to Delaware.

Joe Biden is the worst president ever. Hand to God, the man is an idiot.

As for these agents and all law enforcement, they have my full support. Unlike the harpies on the left, I actually appreciate what they do in the name of law and order.
