Headlines & Verse. Sunday. July 30. 2017

FORMER KANSAS GOVERNOR SAM BROWNBACK CHOSEN AS NEW AMBASSADOR AT LARGE FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM 

Religion is all well and good,
Tho often tis misunderstood --
Some think it a sham,
Or giant grand slam --

It just means you do what you should.


CHINESE CONGLOMERATE GIVES BILLIONS TO AMERICAN CHARITY -- BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO OWNS THE COMPANY OR WHY THEY GAVE THE MONEY AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE
from Michael Forsythe in the NYTimes

A gift horse is never refused,
Although its background is confused.
A charity must
Take money on trust --
Although its ideals may be bruised.



AMERICA STILL CONSIDERED LAND OF OPPORTUNITY BY INCOMING IMMIGRANTS

When immigrants come to our shores
We give them a smile and s’mores.
A pat on the back,
A sturdy knapsack,
Then make them do our dirty chores.
