50 former intelligence community officers

You can make anything funnier when answering a question by adding, “according to 50 former intelligence community officials.
“Honey, does this make me look fat?”
“absolutely not, according to 50 former intelligence community officials!”
The burying of the Hunter Biden laptap news in the immediate leadup to the 2020 presidential election, beginning with the censorship of the New York Post article breaking of the story, the studied shunning of the story by other media, and the ultimate attempts to paint it as Russian disinformation, may well mark the the moment when Americans first sensed the vulnerability of the American system.
So I thought I should preserve this document.

Everything is Beautifuil

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL

Everything is beautiful,
life is ours to share.
And if we know where to look
it will not be so bare.
Everything is beautiful,
trees and flowers bloom.
And I for one will never be
a disperser of gloom.
Everything is beautiful,
we can laugh and sing.
Things taken for granted
really mean everything.
Everything is beautiful,
smiles light roads of life.
Jesus makes us equal
to the pains of strife.
Everything is beautiful,
faith and hope are new.
Nothing is impossible
for those with will-to-do.
Everything is beautiful,
be you black or white,
for we have the privilege
to fight for what is right.
So we must think positive,
be thankful for what we’ve got.
Everything is beautiful,
whether it is or not.
