Surely the big ole grinning president elect couldn’t wish his country harm! It seems clearer each day that he has us heading for a big SHAKEUP, into a new government with a new blueprint. Did 2025 stop just short of its real agenda –crumbling structure due to the need for an entirely different blueprint, probably during His lifetime. Hint: not very damn far away, in the long run. Trump won the vote of those who admit they “don’t pay attention to the news at all” by 51 to 32. Planned obsolescence isn’t a new concept–just not appropriate…or honest…or patriotic…just sneaky and dishonest and catastrophic on this scale.
Hint: Stuff the leadership with inexperienced leaders, then see what hits the fan,,,all part of the plan, his retributive destination not that far down the road.

Remember the 2010 Supreme Court Decision About Corporations? Just a reprint of the poem about one aspect of it by Patricia L. H. Black from my Life Issues page.
What’s Wrong with This Picture?
I met some corporations and
because I had a hunch they had
all been adjudged “persons,”
I invited one to lunch.
Oh, that naughty corporation!
As far as I could see,
it had not been taught its manners—
I got no R, S, V nor P.
But since I was the hostess
I had duties to perform,
though this corporation person
was so outside the norm
that making up the place cards
put my thinking to the test—
could I just write General
and forget about the rest?
And since Incorporated is so very long,
tell me what you think—
would it be uncouth of me
if all I wrote was Inc.?
Then, again, there’s gender
to complicate my tale.
Is corporation female
or is corporation male?
Somehow it seems that neither
is appropriate or will fit.
But it goes against my training
to call a person “It.”
Well, I had invited it
so I assigned it to a seat.
Now I had a problem—
What do corporations eat?
Was it carnivorous or vegan?
Lactose intolerant?
Some persons can eat seafood
while other persons can’t.
There were peanuts to consider
and corn syrup issues, too.
If I fed this so-called person eggs
would it suddenly turn blue?
What a jolt at lunch time
when the corporation knocked!
When the door was opened
I was shocked, I tell you, shocked!
I’m used to thinking “person”
as my neighbor or my dad
but I was sorely disabused
of all such thoughts I might have had.
There were janitors, clerks and typists,
lawyers up to you know where,
receptionists and file clerks
and scientists to spare;
there were bricks-and-mortar buildings
from here to Timbuktu;
fleets of trucks and warehouses,
the list just grew and grew!
Shareholders by the gazillions,
ships, public and private planes,
mortgage-holding entities
and miles and miles of trains.
There were CEO’s and CFO’s
and all sorts of other O’s.
How this “person” would fit
my dining room
the Supreme Court only knows.
