I HAVE NO IDEA

We have billionaires
Who declare they are
Protecting free speech
Unless it needs censoring
We can hear applauding
By the misfits in the background
Who are the misfits?
A valid question
I believe they are the
Misbegotten main stream media

Where is our country heading?
A president who brought us
Back from the brink
Defeated in a flawed election
Bring to us a corrupt occupant
Who with his family have
A financial relationship with China
Who alone commits a “quid-pro-quo”
Protecting his son and 
The income from foreign sources

Who by executive order
Stopped the construction of the 
Fence on our southern border
And ended the agreement with
Mexico to retain the asylum seekers
Until their cases could be heard
The occupant also stopped the
Keystone Pipeline and the
Drilling for gas and oil on
Federal properties and in
Doing so left hundreds of 
Thousands without jobs and 
This in the midst of a pandemic

Where are the cheerleaders
Just the compliant media
The occupant has a press conference 
His first since becoming president
The questions were filtered
Not open to everyone, just
The ones who could throw
Softball question which he answered
Using cards he always carries with him

The occupant was good at
Blaming Donald Trump
Who had secured the border 
Not perfect but getting there
The occupant lied about the 
Wind which blew him over
Three times as he attempted
To board Air Force One

The occupant was blame 
Transferring about all of the
Children stacked in horrible
Conditions at the border
He had no idea about
The extent of this crisis

The occupant did say
“I have no idea”
For once the truth
The main stream media
Ignored this solemn admission
They are quiet when
It serves their purpose

I hope and pray during
This Easter Season that
We do not have to wait
Forty years before we
Will be led to the 
Promised Land

I SIGNED MY NAME

The slip asked for the group leader

I signed my pen name “Stanski”

Someone asked who in hell Stanski was

Do you believe in God, I asked

What has that to do with it?

It has a lot to do with it

God has an angel in me

The angel uses pennames 

Sometimes they are my names

This is one of them

I believe in evolution someone said

Then I can answer that, too

Stanski evolved over the years

First it was Stanislaus Kuperski the Firski

Then Stanislaus Kuperski

Then Stansberry McKricken

Followed by A.H. McKricken

Sometimes I used my own name

Some people called me Stans

Then Stanski evolved

Pretty easy to follow, isn’t it?

Yes, except the part about the angel

I believe in angels and also in miracles

I have been a part of small miracles

Only angels can partake in them

People have called me their angel

What more must you know?

The critics were all silent

They knew they had been had

There was no false worship, but

They were not true believers

Standing back they said, well 

I guess that is it

He made his point validly 

Both the spiritual and the evolutionary

Covered every possibility 

Did it persuasively 

That’s Stanski for you

ECHOES OF MYSELF


A guy writes to me about my poem.  
“Echoes of Whitman”, he says.  
“Echoes of myself”, I say.  
Me and the other guy who is also me.  
I am not just one being, one thought, 
one copy but an entity of much.  
Many songs, not just of myself, 
many marches, none of which I composed.  
Many parades, some of which I organized 
are all part of who I am. 
 
I heard an echo of my own cry.  
It was a lovely echo, consoling in a way, 
though, that bothered me.  I enhanced my cry.  
The echo shouted back in such a way as to rile me.  
That is more like it, I thought.  
I want nothing to do with timidity.  
You go nowhere with it and no one cares.  
I will walk above the river, not wishing 
to be lost in its currents for no good purpose.  
The bridge is a safe place with the advantage of 
being able to observe and then make decisions. 
 
I have no longing to be someone else or 
a decoy set out to attract the real thing.  
One of my selves is real, so I use pen-names 
to keep the things of life unsettled.  
My other selves will speak for themselves.  

My concepts of the high-desert and a marshland, 
except for the intrinsic differences, 
may be very much alike.  
I see the spiritual in both and 
that is my high-hand or go to in life.  
I do not wish to use vagueness in 
an effort to skim over reality.  
I know the food of the soul 
just as I know troubled waters.  
We walk swiftly, me and the other guy, 
knowing time is so precious.  
We will not take time to be measured 
on this perpetual journey.  We know
Who will be waiting for us.

Stansberry McKricken aka Stanski

I THINK

Hoping this day is going well for you
It sounds like you are busy
lots and lots to do
I can only caution you
do whatever you do
because it is right for you
if you were all alone
with only you to think of
what would you do
what you do should line up 
with that thinking
I think

you have been through
the gauntlet of life
you’ve survived
you are strong
you have to understand
it is okay to lay down your façade
and just be your true you
live up to your own expectations
of you for you
I think

deep down
you are tired
exhausted
existing
with burden
I think

what is best for
your true being
only you can know
life is moving on
like lightning
it will be over
in a flash
what will be important then
make that important now
lighten your load
if that is what you think
I think

you are a joy
you are sunshine
soft rain
gentle breeze
you are a delight, but
your kindness to others
needs to be directed
to yourself
for a little while
I think

Stans has his landscaping
has his writings and poems
he does what he does to
satisfy himself
he obeyed his natural instincts
in the garden and with pen
in pleasing himself
he is pleasing everyone
who is lucky enough 
to know him
in person
or through his writings
I think

you are my sapient
my sapphire; no longer a
sapling, not a willow
not an oak
but somewhere in there
is a little of both
you have what it takes
to make life best for you
and only you can do
what is right for you
no one else can do
for you what you can do
for you
I think

Meet the New President of the United States…Barack Obama
February 22, 2021 
By Wayne Allyn Root

I’ve written thousands of columns and commentaries.
This is the most important I’ve ever written.

This is my chance to play the modern-day version of Paul Revere. “The commies are coming. The commies are coming.” Yes, I am reporting a communist takeover. But the leader of this attack is not whom it appears to be.  Republicans, conservatives, patriots, and capitalists are sick right about now. We’re in shock. We can’t believe Trump isn’t president. We can’t believe Americans voted against the greatest economy, perhaps in history. And the greatest jobs picture ever. And the greatest improvement in middle-class incomes ever. And after the Covid lockdown and economic collapse, Trump produced the greatest economic comeback ever. Remember 33% GDP in Q3 2020? That was the biggest number in history. Who would vote against all that? You’d have to be self-hating and suicidal.

We also can’t believe America voted for a feeble old man with dementia who mumbles “I don’t know what I’m signing, but I’m gonna sign these Executive Orders.” And who says “There was no vaccine before I became president.” Even though he got his two vaccine shots before he became president.  We all believe the election was rigged and stolen. We all know the feeble old man now called “President” would be more at home in an assisted living home, than the White House. That man can’t be our new president.  I have news for my fellow conservatives, Republicans, capitalists, and patriots. Biden’s not the president. He’s a puppet. Yes, we have a new president. But his name is…Barack Obama.  Admit it. Now that I’ve said it out loud, it all makes sense. Obama is the real president, back for his third term, to finish the job.

Biden’s job was to stand there and look moderate, and credible, and reasonable. So as not to scare the voters. But Biden isn’t the real president. Obama is the man with the power.  Look at the radical Executive Orders, the most in history. And they all sound like Obama wrote them. This third term is “Obama Unmasked.” With Biden as the frontman, Obama can finally be himself. Obama is able to do all the radical things he never dared do as the actual president.  Look at the executive orders and new laws and policies proposed…Open borders.

No more wall. Everyone gets in, during a pandemic, with no testing for Covid. Illegal alien felons must be released from jail. Halt to deportations. Full legalization for millions of alien lawbreakers.

Include illegal aliens in the US census. Once into the country, give them the right to bring all their relatives in too, with no requirement for education, skills, or background checks. Ban the use of the word “illegal alien.”

*Make every action and economic policy about “racism” “social justice” and “racial equity.” Even climate change is about “racism.”

*Re-start the Iranian nuclear treaty. Give murdering Mullahs everything they ever dreamed of, and then some, endanger our best friend Israel’s existence and get absolutely nothing in return. And for good measure, wait over a month to call Israel’s Prime Minister, so the whole world knows we no longer have Israel’s back.

Kill the lucrative US energy industry and make us dependent on foreign oil from our enemies again. Kill the Keystone Pipeline.
Kill oil, coal, natural gas, fracking, even permits for drilling. Re-enter the Paris Climate Agreement that kills all our jobs, while allowing China to pollute all it wants. This will decimate our economy and make us dependent on the same kind of green energy that just caused the meltdown in Texas.

*Ban the use of the term “China virus.” End the trade war with China. Give China access to the US energy grid.

Even the players in Biden’s cabinet and staff are all Obama re-treads.

Trust me, I’m Obama’s Columbia college classmate. I know how he thinks. I understand his plan. This has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. This is the Cloward-Pavan plan we learned at Columbia University, almost 40 years ago.

This is the 3rd term of Obama. In his first two terms, Obama tried his best to destroy the economy, high-paying jobs, healthcare, the US energy industry, the great American middle class, our relationship with Israel, American exceptionalism, and capitalism itself. He damaged us badly, but he fell short.  Now Obama’s back to finish the job.

WHO ARE WE AND WHAT ARE WE DOING

Disinformation to fit their Trump-hating narrative

It is because of him that Asians are being attacked

Mostly by black activists, paid to do so by the left

This is going on but not covered by the media

We encapsulated the Japanese during WWII

Turned around a ship with 300 Jews who were

Fleeing from the Nazis’ during the same war by

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt 

This fact was not apparent in the media and 

Those who knew praised the President

And so it goes and continues 

Responsibility denied and then transferred

Then the opposite takes place—Blame Trump

And then take credit for his accomplishments, which

Took place during five years of duress and investigations,

As well as impeachment exercises which failed

We can count the lies told to the delight of the haters,

Later discredited, but too late to make an impact

Power is the name of the game.  The election was lost

But many questions remain including the integrity of

The United States Supreme Court which failed to hear

Valid objections because they arrived too early or late

So we have what we have, which includes buyer’s remorse

Our new occupant cannot answer questions unless

They are softball, predetermined, with the answers on Teleprompters

His first address was dour, sour, no real stimulation

We may have hot dogs on the 4th of July with our families,

That is if Comrade Napoleon Fauci says it is okay

Why didn’t he ask for schools to be reopened or businesses

To reopen?  Because it goes against the socialist agenda

People are talking---separating fact from fantasy
 
Most do not want dependency on the government

The occupant’s speech is Pablum---expectations are low

Goals already disconnected as the puppeteers 

Cannot get their stories straight, but what else is new?

W M A Q

We Must Ask Questions
The ideologues must not have their way
We have to see through
Their disguised path to socialism
We pass a 1.9 trillion dollar Covid-19 Relief Bill
Which only contains 9 percent relief for Covid-19
The other 91 percent goes to Blue State bail outs,
Infrastructure and other previously covered projects
But we must ask questions about debt
And the open borders and energy independence 
When science shows that the climate will change
Regardless of what we do and carbon dioxide is
A fertilizer for vegetation, shrubs and trees which
Give back to us life necessary oxygen 

We are foolish people loyal to our parties without
Noticing that they have changed over the last
Sixty years, mostly to our detriment as the players
Enrich themselves by selling their souls to the
Chamber of Commerce, open border advocates and
Other lobby interests, while we the taxed pay
We must ask if we need career politicians or
Would term limitations without the lifetime fringe benefits
Be desirable or would that be cruel and unworthy of us
Is the media and big tech ready to be overhauled?
Are billionaires going to be the ones calling the shots?

Is this still the country of the people, by the people and
For the people?  We must ask questions
We have all suffered personal loss.  We have collectively 
Lost soldiers in numerous wars, which were fought to
Preserve our freedoms.  This has been a heart-breaking burden
And now the right to life is being denied as we fund 
Planned Parenthood, here and abroad with our tax dollars
What kind of people do this---destroy the precious gift of life?
We are sick and need counseling, but then
Who do we go to for this?  We must ask questions

GOOD OVER EVIL

I see goodness

Many times

Am brought to tears

And cannot understand

The evil which exists

Many times because

We don’t know

What brings happiness

It is not control

As control leads to misery

Goodness is so great

When you see one person

Serving another in need

You cannot help being overwhelmed

On the other hand, when

We read about senseless murders

On the streets of our cities

We are halted and stunned

Our emotions are tattered

We will witness a person

Successfully leading a cause

Where many people

Will benefit equally

It makes us sing with joy

Attitude seems to be the difference

Love, honor and respect

Are all not bad

I see our country turning left

Socialism has never worked

Multi-millions have been murdered

By Mao, Stalin, and Hitler

We are better than this

Life is a precious gift

Let us not take it away

PABLUM PUKE

I listened to the occupant’s speech and

Thought of “Dr.” Morton Downey Jr. now deceased

But began to use the term Pablum puke

Here we had the occupant reading from

Prompters which he had rehearsed several times

He made it through without a blunder

But it was soft without credit to 

The previous administration even

Though he had run on the theme of unity

The occupant took credit for what already

Had been in place, never tipping the hat

To the previous administration which

Had developed project “Warp Speed” with success

Beyond expectations; just look back at

The fake news comments.  Not possible 

It takes at least five years, but the outsider

Came through in the midst of the pandemic

And the investigations and impeachments

We now have vaccines, thanks to him

The occupant propped himself up with the

Taking credit of the previous president.  He made no 

Mention of the threat of China or of concerns 

Of the border crisis.  We are being invaded

While his policies have stymied growth by stopping

The Keystone pipeline and the exploration of

Fossil fuels on federal properties; however

You cannot ask the occupant about this

Because his prompter was blank

This is serious and no one should mock his condition

He is easily confused and may react dangerously

Those who are making up his executive orders 

Are taking advantage of a man with early dementia

He, the occupant, has stated that he didn’t know 

What he was signing but went ahead and signed

Someone or a group of vile people are eating his lunch

A SOFTBALL QUESTION CAUSES A FUMBLE


Against the Chinese Communist Party

The Trump Administration held a firm stance

But the new occupant has a wavering view

And with the genocidal CCP wants to dance

One can understand pre-election posturing

But despite public hyperbolic political criticisms

The policies are usually kept in place

Called intellectual honesty versus ideological automatism

But then what was good was stopped by a fumble

A softball question answered in confusion

China’s Uyghur genocide was attributed to different culture norms

Giving the totalitarian nation a green light for more intrusion

The occupant undermines his own staff

Sends potentially ambiguous and dangerous signals

To an adventurous and on the move nation

This is not good; a historical miscalculation; the bell jingles

Similar fumbles have led to war; history paints the picture

World War II; North Korean Invasion: Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait

Inconsistent view points on the Chinese Situation

Allow their analysts to reposition; they will not hesitate
