Welcome To Trumpistan

In Saner Thought

This is what the state of Florida should be known….Trumpistan…..thanx to the authoritarian BS by the governor….De Santis.

The gov and the Repub legislature is giving America a true look at the heart of the GOP

It has been a long and painful month in the Florida legislature for opponents of the state’s Trumpist governor Ron DeSantis and his loyal band of rightwing Republicans. A slew of bills has advanced attacking everything from diversity rights, abortion protections and free speech in schools, in addition to a proposal that would legally shield white people from feeling “discomfort” over the state’s racist past.

And last Wednesday, an anti-masker physician, hand picked by the governor and apathetic about the value of Covid-19 vaccines, was backed unanimously by a Republican senate panel as the next surgeon-general following a walk-out by Democratic politicians frustrated by Joseph Ladapo’s evasiveness.

To hear DeSantis tell…

A Voice from Iran

“2nd story”

A story by Laleh Chini:

First published: Aug.25,2017

Back then in Bushehr, there weren’t any big supermarkets or grocery stores. There were some local small shops or sellers on the sidewalks to sell vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry, baked goods, etc. It was common for maids to do all the grocery shopping. Therefore, my mother never went out to buy produce.2905503088_ac81ca4e73

However, once a week my mother drove us to downtown Bushehr. We went to the bazaar to purchase personal needs or just to have fun. Bushehr is located south of Iran and has a desert climate. Its coastline is more than 700 kilometers in the Persian Gulf and is known for its old architecture.

Y llegó febrero

Y llegó febrero. Enero concluyó; sus 31 días -los primeros del año- se mudaron a otros rumbos, o quizá se disolvieron, o tal vez fueron pequeñas estaciones que quedaron atrás, con recuerdos y con olvidos. Y llegó febrero. Enero acabó, y solo queda en la memoria, en los almanaques, en la historia, en el olvido. Y llegó febrero. Enero se disolvió, como se deshilvana la vida, y sus colores y perfumes quedaron yertos. Y llegó febrero. Enero se desintegró porque acaso fue una ilusión y un sueño, o probablemente nunca existió, o sin duda se trató de una invención humana o de una necesidad cotidiana. Y llegó febrero. Enero se desplomó, y nadie sabe dónde quedaron los proyectos, el confeti y las alegrías de inicio de año. Y llegó febrero. Enero se fue y ahora es febrero -el más…

Another large vintage 1970 art work

Roadtirement

De Wain Valentine was born in Colorado in 1936. He is known for his translucent glass, fiberglass and polyester resin minimalist creations. Of the same time as Robert Indiana of the LOVE sculpture, Valentine has a fine piece in the same gallery room at Newfields (IMA) in Indianapolis.

Vintage 1970 Double Concave Circle (Deep Violet-Red)

Above is the ID plaque at the museum with information about Valentines art

This is an impressive 8 foot tall circle of polyester resin. What we found fascinating was the fact that this striking red circle is a mere 20 feet or so from the Robert Indiana LOVE sculpture. Both were made in 1970. De Wain Valentine lives in California, and developed a unique resin for large scale pieces.

No Surprise Here

NANMYKEL.COM

Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas has filed a lawsuit seeking to block an immigration program that legally brings Central American children to the U.S. to reunite with parents who are already here and have legal status. Not only does the policy help facilitate family reunification, but it also allows a child to avoid the often dangerous journey north.  It’s a smart, and humane program that has allowed thousands of kids to embrace their parents again. So Texas and seven other Republican-led states want it shut down.  Excerpted from Daily Kos

You got, we got

Lolsys Library

So I saw a Trump supporter write this:

We’ve got…

Eric Clapton

Van Morrison

Ted Nugent

Kid Rock

Them: Neil Young Peter Frampton Bette Midler The guy who sang “Two Princes” There’s no contest who wins the rock genre.

Firstly Ted Nugent and Kid Rock?????

None of their songs are on my ipod, and never have been. Funnily enough the guy who sang Two Princes, is and always has been, lol. Also his name is Chris Barron =D

Also though we (the pro-vaccinations) also have. Also there is nothing actually wrong with Neil Young (who survived polio when there was no vaccinations), Peter Frampton, Bette Midler and Chris Barron.

We also have:

The Boss

Willie Nelson

Dolly Parton (who helped to create some of the vaccinations)

Metallica

Paul McCartney

We could do this all day.

Facts are, the right could have everybody as far as I’m concerned. Having a celebrity…
