The real poem and it’s meaning always brought tears of joy that we had such a noble nation. That was before I learned the extent of the decimation of the 1st nation peoples. That was way before we gained a xenophobe in a position to wield great power to turn away the poor, the needy and the people who need asylum to join us. Also I want to thank Brian Carroll, whose great grand parents probably came here to escape from a deadly famine, for having such an up to the hour comic strip.
Ooh! My Irish and German ancestors came about that time as the “old immigration”. Then my Polish ones came in 1907 as the “new immigration”, which led to restrictions in the 1920’s.
While our leaders may have backwards, unpleasant opinions and policies, America, on the other hand, still manages to live up to our promise. America is still a land of hope where an immigrant can come and do well. America proves how strong it is by surviving the cancer that is DJT.
Brian…. beautiful work as always…. and special kudos because of how incredibly rapidly you were able to create something so GOOD with such a short time window for submission!!!!!!
Trump made it a whole year without saying the N word in public – I already lost the pool. He is just saying what the Republican party thinks about countries that aren’t full of blonde haired blue eyed people. He sides with Nazis and the Klan, do you really think he respects Haiti, El Salvador or Africa? Do you think any Republicans do?

Well done, Mr. Carroll.

Remember when they didn’t have to warn parents to send their children out of the room during a presidential address?

Dumb Donald just went two for two with his INSANE comments about the New U.S. Embassy in England!

Again, I am astounded by the brilliance and rapidity of our wonderful mentor. BRAVO! BRAVO!
One final caveat, however— you may need to take care, as Mz Emma may rise from her grave to avenge this wee bit o’sacrilege. ;-)
