This thing didn’t make folks die.
\nThat was all a great\u00a0big lie.
\nHistory will be amended.
\nOther truths have been upended.
\nOh, sure, we defeated ISIS.
\nAnd there was no climate crisis.
\nIraq’s WMD’s
\nwere a true fact, if you please.
\nIran-Contra did not happen.
\nThat was just the left’s mouth flappin’.
\nJFK’s assassination:
\none man, one gun, no sensation.
\nAll that talk of Great Depression,
\nmade up in a bullshit session.
\nNow this trend to balk at police,
\nanarchists’ new golden fleece.
\nHistory always re-edits.
\nThat’s how good guys get their credits.
\nSome facts live and some are buried.
\nLies and truth have long been married.
\nThose who criticize our past
\nfind the future changes fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
