Abetting Crime

Regarding leaks, the media are in a double-bind,

Since they’ve run stories based on them for some time.

Was the tapping done illegally?

And leaking itself is a felony.

Either way, the media are clearly abetting crime.

Harming National Security

In January, before Obama had to go,

He made it easier for the feds to share info.

Trump believes this was not nice

Because we’re now paying the price.

Did Obama know that the number of leakers would grow?

Red Money

The Dems want us to believe that Trump is a Mephistopheles.

Yet, they forget that Bill Clinton took money from the Chinese

The red money was for his campaign

And the media didn’t complain.

They were so sweet that Bill was at risk for diabetes

Riding Free

Many professional women are filled with great pride,

So their Day Without A Woman could not be denied.

One message they sent is clear,

Re the day they now hold dear:

It’s a metaphor for the liberal free ride.

Another Washington Swamp

Washington State Governor, Jay Inslee,

Is willing to perpetrate felonies.

He said that his state

Won’t cooperate

With the feds re immigration policies.
