So just out of curiosity, how many IKEA allen wrenches do people have? Seems I myself must have a half dozen at least.

Sam, I also thought of Downtown Julie Brown... I think we share a birth year (77).

The ICE That Froze Our Freedom

In a town by the tracks, on a warm Monday night,

Came the rumble of boots that delivered a fright.

Not boots full of courage, nor service, nor grace—

But ICE in the shadows, invading each place.

They stormed into kitchens, they stormed into pews,

They frightened the children, they threatened the crews.

They bothered the clergy, the helpers, the kind—

With cold, bitter tactics that twisted the mind.

They banged on the doors with a knock and a sneer,

They targeted neighbors who’ve lived many years.

They questioned the citizens born on this land,

As if freedom itself was too foreign to stand.

With papers or not, it was all just the same—

A cruel little circus with Trump’s name on the frame.

He cheered from the tower—“Go harder! Go fast!”

“Make examples of people! Make fear ever last!”

But communities rose in a powerful wave,

From teachers and nurses to the ones who were brave.

They linked up their arms, they refused to step back,

They defended their neighbors from ICE’s attack.

They shouted the truth through the chaos and din:

“America’s promise is for ALL to begin!”

Not for cages or cruelty, not for hatred’s design—

But for families, love, and the dignity divine.

And clergy stood tall with a lantern of light,

Declaring with courage: “This isn’t God’s fight.”

They sheltered the weary, they shielded the scared,

They showed what a nation of good hearts declared.

So gather, dear friends, let the message ring through:

When freedom is frozen, we warm it anew.

With truth as our banner and justice our drum,

The people will rise—

and the tyrants will succumb.

Thank you, Adam and Sam. This reminds me that I learned when I was quite young that Dean Martin didn't actually drink! He and our family doctor were good friends who often played golf together.

The GOP has been re-branded. The new formal name is the Grand Old Pedophile Party!

Thank you Sam for trashing Stephen A Smith. He's such a blowhard and I can't stand him. Calling him a POS is right on but his commentary is more like un upchuck of explosive diarrhea.
