It was reported today that at the White House briefing, President Trump said he was encouraging Vice-President Pence to avoid calling governors who are not "appreciative" of the work being done by the federal government. Mr President, our State Governors are responsible to do all that is possible for the benefit of their respective State residents. The constitution does not require them to show you "appreciation or adulation ". You, on the other hand Mr President, are required to do all that is possible for the benefit of our country. This means for the benefit of all US Citizens and residents without expecting appreciation, adulation or any type of personality cult; Republicans, Democrats or Independents, we are all Americans. So, Mr President, please do you job and lead by example.  

I hate to say this.
This leadership spell,
is your responsibility
and you wear it not well.

My ears are ringing.
It's ringing; not a buzz,
while my head feels
like it is covered in fuzz.
Perhaps it's my body,
giving me a hint,
that my old grey matter
is full of old lint.
It's surprising to me
as my mind does recoil
and what I see in the news
makes my blood boil.
The ignorance that is seen,
in this great land,
is in both parties as they
await the command.
Get out to vote.
Vote where you can.
Vote for your choice,
Woman or man.
