Thirty-five opus 684

4 November 2025 1135 Hours Politics, Food
Today, a record has been reached--Thirty-five days.
A second record by one president
To preside over the two longest government shutdowns in US history.
It is, yet sure, that the second one will continue even longer.
Leadership has done nothing to reach a breakthrough
And has even been out of Washington and the country much of that time.
When will our leadership focus less on new ballrooms and gold faucets,
And labor diligently to end this catastrophe,
Affecting all citizens, including our own government workers?
Please, may wisdom and judgement
Start to reign for the future of this great country!
