Phyllis Fong, Isn’t Wrong

Phyllis Fong isn’t wrong
They mishandled those vandals,
Dragooned the Chief away
She’d worked there longer
You just don’t say.
She knew the rules
So come what may
Phyllis Fong had a right to stay.

The dragoons from Musk and Trump were wrong, to escort away, the agricultural executive inspector that reckless feckless day.

She knew her rights, all along
They shuddnah done this to chief Inspector Phyllis Fong.

She’ll have her day in court no doubt
If right has not fled the court, and with it basic justice put to the rout.

They sent their goons to drive her away
They acted lawless that winters day.
The inspectors generals take a solemn oath to follow the law, not some orange painted oaf. To follow the law was her duty
She would not play at their clumsy Punch and Judy .

She told her colleagues to stand their ground, not to let the Trumpsters push them around.
In the end, that winters day, she was forced by thugs, to leave, and give way.

She explained:
“The independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time.”

She would not cry out, she would not be carried, she kept her dignity, not like Larry. Who’d been a Trump supporter all along, only to find out, under the new regime, he’d no longer belong.

He knew the riddle, he repeated it often, DEI would bury us all in its crummy tin foil coffin. He sobbed and whined, when ordered out.
He thought his rich old uncle had more clout.

The USDA inspector general has a broad mandate, pursuing safety for foods, which few would hesitate to back

The USDA’s involved in bird flu research, a current concern. In 2022 the began to study the Neural-Link company of Elon Musk, so in an attempt at retribution he’d like to grind’s to dust.

Ms. Fong served as the first head of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. So therefore she’s suspect, in $Trump delinquency!
