POEM OF THE DAY

Work Bench

Life has morphed into a jigsaw

puzzle with all pieces accounted

for, but fewer and much larger.

And I work and rework the same

chunks day after day after day,

grateful for seeing the biggest ones

fracture, until I am inside

struggling to revision content.

Will I come together in time?

Only angels and fairies know.

Nan  Dec. 2024

For You: Trump Terminates Fauci’s Government Security Protection. Mr. Trump inaccurately characterized FEMA’s role, which is to support state and local officials only if those officials are unable to respond to disasters on their own, and only at the request of a governor.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is stripped of Government Security protection.  Trump told  reporters he would not feel responsible if harm came to Fauci. The day before, he removed Government Security protection for Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook, former top aides. “Both these men  faced continuing Iraq threats because of actions they took  on Mr. Trump’s behalf during  his first administration.”
