WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2001-2022
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

The Vivaldi violin concerto is pleasantly ironic background music, but “Entrance of the Gladiators” would be fitting too:
Here it is, played by the U.S. Marine Band:

In the same genre with entertaining commentary, for those still on Facebook and wanting more.

These are the “soldiers” General Biden commands. lol
Only special retards stand in the way of 2 ton moving vehicles.
The police ain’t shooting enough of these sob’s
I prefer a Kinder, Gentler America…
Cars can kill;
Use re-education camps instead.
Have a nice day.
Quite uplifting!
Very special!!
Yeah, okay . . . but, but, but Trump! Racism!
I rather liked the ATV accident (jackass hits pedestrian, falls off ATV, ATV runs HIM over) as it proved a point I once made watching MotoGP with my Mrs. To wit: “It’s not a motorcycle accident until you fall off your bike, and your bike runs YOU over.” 🤦🏻♂️
Do the drivers who reverse or U-turn and go back for another get extra points?
I needed that. Laughed so hard I was crying. WooHoo!!!
My choice of soundtrack for that video montage would be the version of “Yackety Sax” that The Benny Hill Show used to humorous effect.
To Fat Matt…Yes.
Just like Bolshevik agitators. Creating chaos and discord.
The huge plume of pepper spray out the window as you drive along was a good idea.
I also loved the ATV dude!
But the entire thing warmed the cockles of my heart😂☺️❤️❤️!!!
