It’s after elections that makes my brow furrow
‘Though problems could happen the seventh and eighth
A terror attack could occur on the marrow
Or poll nastiness by those of little faith

All of that will not alter election results
The Demos will win Senate and at the top
The House, maybe no, which will keep many dolts
Who will prey after Clinton, her programs to stop

My concern, post election, is centered on Putin
Unlikely it is that the Russians will quit
With Wikileaks and Donald Trump theirs for certain
They’re sure to continue their hacks and their hits

It appears Clinton’s term as our new President
Will be plagued by releases of unfounded “news”
To disrupt and discredit will be their intent
As a gift from the Kremlin to alter our views

Last June I posted “The Art of Tough” which was about a book of the same name written by Barbara Boxer. This poem draws on the same theme as it applies to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

We’ve seen accusations, we’ve heard epithets
With negative rhetoric flung forth and back
These last days the campaigns are more intense yet
A wonder that, pressured so, neither has cracked

However, a difference there is in demeanor
In how they react to the barbs they receive
Where one shrugs them off while the other grows meaner
One’s tough, and one talks tough and tries to deceive

Don Trump goes off script at the least provocation
He calls it a foul when he hears his own voice
Making nasty remarks in adds aired to the nation
By Hillary, showing that Trump’s the wrong choice

The stuff thrown at Clinton is hard to believe
From Putin, from Trump, even our FBI
Concoctions so gross all designed to deceive
“Lock her up! Lock her up!” his supporters all cry

This rolls off of Clinton, a keeper of cool
She’s been in the trenches. She’s got the right stuff
While Trump’s a get-back-er and acts like a fool
It’s clear Clinton’s mastered the art of the tough

I find it disturbing and even unnerving
The FBI’s role in this race
They’ve sullied their image and done themselves damage
Respect may take years to replace

A cabal of agents from Manhattan region
Are leaking pronouncements untrue
Their goal is to pillory candidate Hillary
Favoring Trump as they do

These are reprehensible and indefensible
Acts by the FBI
In spite of this faction and all of its actions
Still Clinton will win bye and bye

Republican “homers” I’m loathe to observe
Are those whose allegiances back and forth roam
They’re voting for Donald and then they reverse
Then later reverse again “coming back home”

One wonders what rationale sanctions these moves
It’s clearly not fitness to be President
They learned early on lack thereof to be true
So what’s lying there ‘neath their skull resident?

It’s simple: self interest became their end all
They choose, if it’s safe or not voting for him
Based only on polls, did they rise did they fall
Ignoring the consequence should Donald win

The Donald’s a con man; it’s deep in his brain
Two archetypes exist to him outside himself
His gullible base whom he largely disdains
For buying his rhetoric, since he has wealth

And those who oppose him, the other archetype
Are evil and ignorant, worthy of hate
To be taken down both by insult and hype
Republican ‘homers’ will suffer both fates

I am reading Malcolm Nance’s book, “The Plot To Hack America”. This poem uses information and opinions deriving from that book without specific references, since poetry is not amenable as such.

Putin’s Bears

The Bears have been active from right from the start
Their mission: ensure that it’s Trump who will win
The US elections; attack at the heart
With cyber technology, do Clinton in

The Bears are the Cyber Bears, Fancy and Cozy
Their boss is V. Putin, his game, kompromat.
The hacking of foreign affairs, being nosey
To influence outcomes toward what Russia wants

It’s clear that the timing of hacks was not random
Nance says that coincidence takes lots of plans
The timing of leaks published with such abandon
Was such as to hurt Clinton max with her fans

There also is evidence of strings attached
Directly to Donald, his Russian based ventures
Where Putin promoting the schemes that he’s hatched
Could pressure a President Trump with strong measures

It’s clear that the Russians are meddling in
The US elections to render us weak
And they’ve found their agent, if only he’d win
But he’ll lose. I truly with confidence speak

Acting as though everything has gone strange
Democrats liken this to the sky falling down
But most post ‘letter’ polls indicate little change
In renewed desperation Trump makes claims overblown

Clinton clearly asserted points She’s made before
That she’s unconcerned with whatever they find
Her confidence surely will drive up her score
And give wavering Democrats more peace of mind

There’s an elephant ‘midst all this noise in the room
Neither pundits nor candidates mention at all
In a fight instrumental to ISIS’s doom
Battle looms in a Iraq: Mosul’s postured to fall

It is wise at this time to put things in perspective
Mails pale in importance compared to the choices
That Hillary faces when she gets elected
As President, winning despite ugly voices

Let’s all take a breath and assess things more coolly
July’s FBI statement made by Jim Comey
Asserted some Emails in Hillary’s server
Were classified, stirring up hate-Clinton ferver

However, no Clinton intent was perceived
There’d be no indictment; to Clinton’s relief
This new situation will make little difference
And Comey’s new letter was wrong in it’s inference

The worst case is that they find classified mails
There’s still no intent so indictment would fail
And Comey knows this, which just raises suspicions
Of other agendas that shake our convictions

Be that as it may, Clinton still is ahead
Most voters that matter won’t be so misled
They see through shenanigans; give them some time
We’ll see Clinton’s poll numbers soon start to climb

10/30/16

‘Bout you my dear followers I have no doubts
One hundred percent I expect to turn out
My utmost concern is with family and friends
To take time to vote before voting will end

This latest announcement by Comey last night
Implying, unfounded, more problems in sight
With Hillary’s Emails without any basis
Has made this a tougher election she faces

That’s why I am sounding this clarion call
For you to contact your acquaintances all
And urge them on voting; it’s really important
Or else our Democracy soon could be dormant

The bomb shell that landed was really a dud
Jim FBI Comey to Congress revealed
Some new information that should have stayed sealed
About Clinton’s Emails that’s now drawing blood

The FBI probing A. Weiner’s activities
Found Emails to Clinton on Huma’s computer
(Huma, estranged wife of Anthony Weiner,
Is Clinton’s assistant performing these duties)

So Comey’s revisiting Hillary’s case
Some thirty three thousand new Emails to search
‘Though both camps want info to strengthen their reach
Results will take months. That’s a fact we must face

So why am I saying this bomb will have died
Both Huma and Hillary, schooled in the rules
No way would they knowingly behave like fools
And traffic in documents marked classified

10/28/16

A landslide it could be, be that as it may
That Clinton will conquer, but little the doubt
I’m nagged nine November, the end of the day
By what loser Donald’s next moves are about

He won’t admit losing; his base would diminish
Gross fraud at the polls, he is certain to claim
Pres. Clinton’s a fraud and he’ll fight to the finish
Destroying democracy will be his aim

A wise man observed an historical truth:
The Third Reich gained power post World War I
Not through great force but within voting booths
Democracy crippled so, weakly succumbed

Republicans, Democrats having true faith
In our democracy, that it survive
Rise past your differences; challenge Trump’s baits
And relegate Trumpism out of our lives
