Dull Moments I feel numb. My wits have been fried, at the ends... It happened, more than once. It was a little each time I watched the TV, and they talked about the "free". Who are they speaking of? Who are they talking about? Free money for those that are too lazy to work. Free money for those that came here, to do harm. Free education, and a free vacation, at the expense of all the citizens who came to stare too long into the box. They are all asleep now, and repeat the process, of voting in... and toting the baggage of the elite. Building a better today than yesterday? Do you buy that now? Do you need a cow? Are you short of milk... for your children? Better, What is better about today? High food, high gas, high cost of shelter, illegal's and wild beagles on the streets, in tents for homes and no one to pay the bill, much less the taxes or the tip, to get their fill. Back, to the "basics"... are all in their speeches... like leaches, they make up new ways to draw blood. "Believe in us, and do as your told." The mantra of old, rings true... even today in every way!

I can relate to all of this…. Imagine.,You worked allyour life and what was free? Millions from all over the world crossing the border, The solution? Each issued an ID card for free health care, free food, free housing and free education. And we will pay for millions of them. Their gift to us? Drugs and crooks. And motherless children. Thank those who don’t love the USA but were elected anyway. Panagiota xxx
