U.S. stock markets ended their worst
week in more than two years on Friday
after China threatened to respond in
kind to President Trump’s imposition
of $60 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports.
When shooting off his big bazoo
Let’s hope Trump knows what he’s to do
When nations combine
To commerce confine
And stock markets go in the loo.
When Haspel’s nomination was
announced earlier this month,
McCain warned that she would
need “to explain the nature and
extent of her involvement in the
CIA’s interrogation program”
during her confirmation hearings
and that she “must pledge without
reservation to uphold” the prohibition
on torture.
When torture is used for the good
It’s often so misunderstood.
The pain so produced
Has never seduced
The CIA into falsehood.
Weeks after the White House released
its budget request, which provided a
massive increase in defense spending,
Congress took over and added even
more money for ships, aircraft and
missile defenses in what amounts to
a spending spree on major weapons systems.
Nobody has ever gone broke
With making the weapons that croak
The world’s residents --
In fact it’s immense,
The money they make with one stroke.
