Hot-Off-the-Press

Begun on July 4th: completed on July 9th I wanted to follow-up The Oldest Profession with something trite suggesting that the POTUS likes \”naughty\” women (with a-bit-of-an-edge to them) — like Ivana; Marla Maples (not as naughty as the others); Stormy Daniels; Karen McDougall; and of course, current Wife, Melania.

May 15, 2018 All animals are created equal… But some animals are more equal than others…(reflections from Animal Farm) I wanted to title this piece: Enter the New Jester — in honor of a person who can apparently say anything to — and around — the king and still keep his job as Fool.  And

Stick a Fork in US

February 17, 2018 My writing is becoming like a woman\’s period — it only seems to happen once-a-month these days… I thought I would be saying President Pence before I ever said President Putin — but at-the-time I suggested a President Pence, I didn\’t know that the Trump Brand had been engaged in money laundering
