Anyway, I appealed the ruling but it's been two weeks, and I never heard anything back from Twitter -- so I figured the grifter's third lady just wasn't worth waiting for a response from Twitter so I deleted the tweet. Sooo....now I'm back.
Our Twitter account was offline for awhile due to this issue: LOL -- I was suspended for telling a has-been porn star to "jump in the Cement Pond." That's just talk from the Beverly Hillbillies TV show for "swimming pool." And why not? A swimming pool is an expected extension to a tennis pavilion, no?

Emmett Lee Dickinson's 1853 poem "Show me a Elephant, and I will show you Memory" (below on the left) eerily parallels Donald Trump's recent claim of having "aced" a cognitive assessment test where he could identify a picture of an elephant and he could repeat back a series of five words, "woman, man, person, camera, TV."
Below left: The New Yorker published a portion of the actual test Trump took. Information is HERE. Below center and right: Other exclusive photographs from Trump's test. Click the images to enlarge. By the way, rumor has it that Melania Trump lifted "Be Best" from the last line of Dickinson's poem to give her hollow, meaningless & laughable campaign a name. Dickinson's poem also inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem, "Show me Eternity, and I will show you Memory" (above on the right).
Let's face it folks, our so-called president is a freakin' moron. November can't get here soon enough. From Anderson Rudge: We're in the grips the coronavirus pandemic. The president is muzzling the CDC so that people can't be tested and the truth is concealed (so "his numbers" look good) -- AND HE'S OUT GOLFING! Then, the Third Lady tweeted this: The "Tennis Pavillion"?!? I was outraged -- and not because Melania misspelled "pavilion" (there's only one L) -- but then I became infuriated when she followed that "let them eat cake" sentiment with this: The narcissism & greed of this former porn star — and all the entire Trump family, honestly — is simply disgusting! The gall this woman has to tell us to "Be Best" is beyond words. The Third Lady's absurd, indifferent and elitist comments called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "She'd hoped for Pity -- not for Pain" (below on the left). Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "I cried at Pity -- not at Pain" (below on the right).
From our political correspondent, Dorothy Dawe: There's been some argument lately over what to call the cages of children at the border. Trump and the GOP insist that living conditions are tolerable, and they have referred to the cages as "Tender Age Shelters" -- and they've compared the conditions to a summer camp for a children. Others have referred to the prison-like facilities as "Concentration Camps," and they've been criticized for it by the GOP and the "Christians" who support them -- and I'm baffled as to why. "Concentration" means "a close gathering of people or things" -- like a concentration of geese on the front lawn; or a concentration of racists at a Trump rally; or a concentration of children in the cages (and therefore a Concentration Camp). Below: Melania Trump tweeted about the addition of "Be Best" Ambassadors to her hollow campaign about bettering the lives of children everywhere. She included a photograph of a "Be Best" banner she hung at the Central El Paso Concentration Summer Camp for Children. The entire idea of separating children from their parents, caging them, and amassing them in concentration camps is repugnant, and we -- and all of mankind -- must bring the Trumps and the GOP under scrutiny for we are duty bound to act! The entire sordid affair calls to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "They're left to perish with forethought" (below on the left). His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "The right to perish might be thought" (below on the right).
From our current affairs editor, Lemuel Stuart III: In a recent poll conducted by the American Heart Association, Americans overwhelming picked Donald Trump as the “Man with the Smallest Heart.” The choice was not so easy, though, when it came to the women. When asked “Which woman in America has the smallest heart,” six women ended up in a dead heat – far ahead of any other nominations (were there even any other nominations?). Who are the six contenders for the title “Woman with the Smallest Heart”? In no particular order, the candidates are the following: When Betsy "Cruella" DeVos heard that the vote was tied, she vowed to take the title -- by giving herself a raise and by defunding the Special Olympics. Then, when asked about her decision, DeVos said flatly, "Who cares? If I have the ability to be hateful, manipulative and deceitful, I'm going to take full advantage." Word has it that last minute votes just pushed her over the top -- and DeVos will win a plaque engraved with Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "For smallest Woman’s Heart we know" (below on the left). Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "For largest Woman's Heart I knew" (below on the right). DeVos will NOT receive a copy of Emily's poem.
From our current affairs editor, Lemuel Stuart III: "Fake Melania" theories arose in 2017 when it seemed that Trump was traveling with a body-double for the First Lady. The suspicion resurfaced this week when Trump traveled to Alabama to see first hand the devastation brought on by destructive tornadoes there. The hashtag #FakeMelania began trending after this photo was published:
From our current affairs editor, Lemuel Stuart III: Have you heard the news? Melania Trump is going to take her "I Really Don't Care. Do U?" tour on the road, and she is going to visit three states to speak to children about her "Be Best" initiative (I'm not making this up). Do you know that FLOTUS' "Be Best" campaign has three pillars? Can you name them? First, civil social media use. Can you believe that? How can the woman even show her face in public and even utter those words. Second, a focus on opioid abuse, certainly a major concern of school children across the country. Third, proper hygiene habits for middle school students. This is, of course, an extremely important issue of our day (just ask any middle school teacher). Trump will visit elementary schools during her three-state sweep, and every child will receive a complimentary pack of Trump-brand Be Best Candy Cigarettes. Ten students in each school will win Melania Trump Be Best Paper Dolls, and one lucky winner in each school will receive Melania's Be Best "On the Pole" Doll. Of course, FOTUS' upcoming three-state "Be Best" tour called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem, "Look back on this with rolled-back eyes" (below on the left). Dickinson's poem inspired his third cousin Emily to pen her poem, "Look back on time with kindly eyes" (below on the right).
From our entertainment editor, Qwerty Lee Dickinson:
Melania identified Dickinson’s “A love devoid of depth and grace” (below on the left) as the poem that epitomizes her romance with the Donald. Dickinson’s poem also inspired third cousin Emily to write “A face devoid of love or grace” (below on the right).
From our 19th Century historian, Eudora Dickinson: Have you made any resolutions for the new year? Do you plan to hit the gym? Lose weight? Quit smoking? Drink less? Read more? Travel? Did you know that the idea of making New Year's resolutions was first introduced by Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request)? On January 1, 1853, he resolved to spend more time with his family. The notion of abandoning a New Year's resolution was also pioneered by Dickinson -- on January 2, 1853 -- the day after he had spent the New Year's Day holiday with his family. His lack of resolution prompted him to write his poem "Unfulfilled to Observation" (below on the left). His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem with the same opening line (below on the right).
From our executive director for development and expansion, Emerson Nettles: We are thrilled to announce an EXCLUSIVE arrangement with the White House to offer Melanie Trump's "BE BEST" toy kit for children -- a perfect gift for children of all ages this holiday season!
