Not. My. President

 American (Rotten) Pie

Long, long time ago 

I can still remember how history used to make me smile 

And I knew if we had a chance that government by the people could make those people dance 

And maybe they'd be happy for a while 

But January 6 made me shiver 

With all the hate MAGA Brownshirts could deliver


Bad news on the doorstep 

I couldn't take one more step 

I do remember that I cried 

When I read about his election pride

Then something touched me deep inside 

The day American democracy died


So bye-bye, Miss American Pie 

Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry 

And them MAGA boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye 

Singin', January 20 will be a day of lies

This'll be the day that truth dies

This’ll be the day that democracy dies.


With apologies to the great Don McLean

Ben Cline a hypocrite when he says he supports law enforcement

In his recent Sixth District Perspectives, Representative Ben Cline touted his support for National Police Week and stated that he wants “ to improve officer safety and help those who protect our communities.” Hum… what a crock of bullshit!  He saw nothing wrong with the January 6 insurrection when Donald Trump’s treasonous thugs stormed the United States Capitol, violently attacked police officers, and chanted hang Mike Pence. Wonder where Ben was hiding that day… probably shaking in fear behind a scummy mop in a janitor’s closet. He continues to support Trump’s “Unified Reich” where red ties have replaced the brownshirts of Adolph Hitler but the violent authoritarian filth remains. Yes, it is abundantly clear Bobblehead Ben supports the MAGA jackboots who care little for legitimate law enforcement officers who protect our communities and the rule of law.

The Sixth District of Virginia deserves so much better than the not-so-smart loser Ben Cline. Check out Ken Mitchell. He served over two decades in the military and in the White House under both parties. Ken will get things done in a bipartisan spirit, unlike the hyper-partisan and unimaginative Bobblehead Ben Cline.
