Book Recommendation: Dallas ’63: The First Deep State Revolt Against the White House. Peter Dale Scott, the lefty writer, originated the term Deep State in 1969 with this text from the fun Forbidden Bookshelf series.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26833392-dallas-63

Art of the Day: The Cigar Study, a future dream project when the time accompanies the aspiration. The deep, rich leather chairs, the scent of a good cigar, the old cognac bottles on the shelf, and the friendly conversation in the old school style. A kind of high end, stylish man cave connected to the lounges and studies of centuries ago. A perfect venue for a Bourbon w/ Barnes, Pappy’s 23 preferred. The integration of the aesthetic exterior to the thoughtful interior.

Wisdom of the Day: “Tobacco is the plant the converts thoughts into dreams.” Victor Hugo.

The turtle skull

This fine is really incredible. The turtle shell doesn’t smell at all. The skull was dangling by a dried tendon.

Look at the detail in all of this!

More trans madness

Washington state is quite clearly a dystopian hellscape.

A female wrestler assaulted by a “trans” athlete - i.e. a male. The assault consisted of a move called “checking the oil” where the wrestler jams a finger into the butthole. Extremely dirty (pun intended) and very difficult for a ref to see.

The girl asks for permission to not be forced to wrestle against boys for season, without penalty.

The school refuses.

Holy hell.

The 2SLGBTQIA+ movement is fundamentally intolerant and irredeemably misogynist.

A. Art of the Day

Another artistic expression of my own self-impression, the contemplative thought of looking out into the world through the oversized window amidst the shadows of dark and light, in between them both, uncovering and discovering along the way, a singular, solo figure in the space empty of objects but full of opportunities, sparse in materials but rich in ideas, waiting to be realized.

A. Art of the Day

The early morning hue, the fog of the dawn, the invitation of a new day, the beckoning of a promising journey, a simple man with a suitcase awaiting the train, to someplace, somewhere, maybe escaping, maybe seeking, the attractive allure of a new day.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

A. Art of the Day

The mirrored reflection creating a paralleled world above and below, the fearsome crocodile coasting in the waterways made from centuries ago, a reminder of the power of the past and the potential of the present in the majestic ancient animal of our past and potential.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Animal communication is like any other form of telepathic, intuitive conversation. The thoughts and feelings of people and animals carry energetic signatures, communicated through very primal, nonverbal channels.” Elizabeth Eiler.
