Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
Gerard Van der Leun
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.

…”the impression that he’s not speaking his own thoughts from his own mind.” What mind?
J.P. is mildly amusing, but I’m just not finding the humor in the willful destruction of our country by a half-wit political hack, who bullshitted his way through life, and oh yeah, he didn’t win.
I refer to the current occupant of the White House (is it okay to say White House anymore?) as the current Resident and his sidekick as the Vice Resident. There is nothing amusing about them.
+1
I’m upset that Joe shit on the White House floor and bit a staffer, and they’re blaming the poor dog!
Didn’t watch it. The dood in the picture is annoying.
I’m with Kevin, I can’t find any humor in anything communist.
Cept maybe, if it was on fire and dragged, while bystanders shot bullets and arrows at is as it bounced by. That might raise a ghostly chuckle.
the cat’s got weird hair.
as cited by others I don’t find any of it humorous.
I’ll iterate from another site-
“This kabuki will be dropped soon, I don’t know why they bother with it now- the government has been seized and a pinheaded outlaw placed atop it, the military is being woked, the borders are breached.
Payback for having a people and constitution that stood in the way of globalism.”
Riffing off of gwbnyc,
Russia will soon initiate a Ukraine adventure, maybe chase us out of Syria also. At pretty much the same time, China will re-annex Taiwan. It’s likely that the Persians will seize the day and do something spectacular.
The United States will do …. nothing. The Fraudulent is a meat puppet, his puppet handlers are ideological morons, and our hollow military is incapable of engaging in three overseas adventure. And no one in this country has the stomach for it.
Our time is over being the world’s policeman. You’re on your own, TaiwanJapanUkraineIsrael, you’re not our problem anymore. We’re busy having a nervous breakdown and we don’t really care what happens outside our borders anymore. We don’t care much about our borders either.
We’ve backed ourselves into a mess, we have.
John A Fleming sed: “We’ve backed ourselves into a mess, we have.”
========
Some have, some haven’t.
All must pay attention.
There are producers and there are parasites and many ride in between.
Stay the course, I say, for yourself.
You can’t change others but through example, but you can change yourself, instantly.
So keep producing, keep bettering yourself, keep moving forward, and try your best to ignore others and lessen their impact upon you.
Country?
Where.
There is no national allegiance because there is no nation, just one big free for all.
This place, defined by imaginary lines on a globe, is mostly illusory and bogus.
Local, local, local.
Your sphere of influence, both ways, decreases as radius increases.
They, way over there, have little influence over you nor should you let them distract you from your goals.
That old phrase is still true, “Do the right thing.”
Peace, Onward.
Uncle Jefe for the win!!! Wish I would have thought of that one.
Mr. Fleming, Taiwan is screwed. Japanese will put up a protracted fight, and we won’t let them go without jumping in. Israel is like a rabid badger when threatened, which is all the time, and they can handle themselves. Don’t screw with God’s chosen people.
Taiwan and Israel can probably stand on their own, at least for longer than some would guess.
Taiwan destroyed is of no use to China, if they didn’t have nukes before they started assembling them the day Xiden got non-elected.
Israel is in a much better place today, in part thanks to President Trump, most of it’s neighbors are finding that working with Israel and against their common enemies beats getting the crap kicked out of their military every decade or so.
China is going to be busy looting the former Republic of the USA for a long time. Russia must be jealous, they should have offered more for Biden in the draft.
I am still trying to decide which T to buy. I guess I’ll have to buy them all as I don’t wanta run ’round nakid. LOL. Too bad this ad didn’t run during the stuper bowl. The election outcome mighta been different.
Ridicule is a good tactic. Many are fine with a dementia patient as President in Name Only as long as Trump wasn’t POTUS. Others may be under the illusion that PINO is competent and need to be made fun of. The question: who is really in charge? needs constantly to be asked.
This didn’t start in 2021.
I wouldn’t trade Biden for Trump. One thing you can say for woke, nobody gets to remain asleep.
Let’s lose this whole “woke” thing. It’s retarded. And, like everything else about communists, it’s a fucking lie. This rotten cancer is anything but woke. Braindead.
Ghost- I AGREE!
I actually cringe when I hear the term. Or cuss.
Let me know if you’d like one of my new tee shirts I’ve printed up- they say;
CHOKE
the
WOKE
’til they
CROAK
ghost;
We’re tracking. The only good use of “woke” is exemplified by Kurt Schlichter when he points out that real conservatives will no longer tolerate RINO’s, nor let granny winebox’s minions off the hook.
