Warmer oceans
Fearsome winds drive clouds of water bombs
Caught in a storm surge
In Aleppo
Lives mean nothing to take out Assad
Caught in a storm surge
Video tape
Unmasks groping billionaire
Caught in a storm surge
Hacked email files
Reveal deception of Favored One
Caught in a storm surge
U.S. & Russia
In stalemate over Syria
Caught in a storm surge
Temperatures rise
War drums roll between nuclear powers
Caught in a storm surge
Whatever our choice
Come November at the polls we are
Caught in a storm surge
Winds gather force
I hold onto Wisdom to save us
Caught in a storm surge

I hope and pray everyone’s vote is guided by wisdom such as yours.

Wisdom is great if you have it (you do). A little luck is helpful too. Looks as though Mr. Trump can’t help himself from providing Secretary Clinton that luck.

Thanks, Dr. Stein. As I see it, Secretary Clinton doesn’t need any luck. She’s got the Russians to blame for all those email leaks. It’s a smart strategy of misdirection that is already creating problems in our relations with Russia.
