“It is an object of vast magnitude that systems of education should be adopted and pursued which may not only diffuse a knowledge of the sciences but may implant in the minds of the American youth the principles of virtue and of liberty and inspire them with just and liberal ideas of government and with an inviolable attachment to their own country.” – Noah Webster (1790)
“If you’re the most powerful person in the world and you can’t field questions from the media without losing your temper, maybe you’re in the wrong business.” – Olivia Nuzzi in response to Joe Biden going off on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for asking a question about his meeting with Putin
Somehow Clinging by Michael Doyle Slipped halfway down The edge of the rabbit hole The Cheshire Cat in his crown Ripped apart his soul Seeking to find a path through To the center of the maze Somewhere between half to and want to The Hatter is left spinning in a daze Who is to say what is real In a world where spin doctors operate In a realm beyond think and feel And where even the innocent quietly manipulate Somehow clinging on for this wild ride Just over the ledge of the garden's wall Humility spills out at the price of pride It's all to suffer for a debt most don't recall I am certain we are meant for more As a believer, I solemnly remain Somewhat twisted and no longer pure The rusty chains buckle at the strain Fortune tellers practiced at deception Tell the story sold as solid advice Twist of fate painted in misconception The sinless savior still pays the price Somehow clinging on for this wild ride Just over the ledge of the garden's wall Humility spills out at the price of pride It's all to suffer for a debt most don't recall (c) June 25, 2021 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved

“One day I was speeding along at the typewriter, and my daughter — who was a child at the time — asked me, “Daddy, why are you writing so fast?” And I replied, “Because I want to see how the story turns out!” – Louis L’Amour, novelist (1908-1988)
Let's Rest Here A Little While
by Michael Doyle
Let's rest here a little while
Your hands in mine
You give me reasons to smile
As my thoughts refine
What it is I feel deep inside
As I look into those eyes
Talking soft as we confide
The love we have realized
In all the miles yet to walk
There is lightness in our hearts
The sweetest expressions we talk
This is what love is and imparts
And maybe it is just that true
That our journey has only just begun
But as I sit here beside you
I know that the hardest part is done

“He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of this country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man….The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people.” – Samuel Adams
“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.” – George Washington
“There is great anger in our country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open and obvious hostility and report the news accurately and fairly. That will do much to put out the flame of Anger and Outrage and we will then be able to bring all sides together in Peace and Harmony.” – Former President Donald Trump
