WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
Gerard Van der Leun
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
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 GRIEVANCES.
These are the original. I think we could come up with some new variations on the theme– He/She has endeavored to keep us thinking that our individual safety was more important than our individual liberty.
“He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.” These would be the State Karens who decide how many people you can have at Thanksgiving Dinner.
This is not a political blog, but I’m an American and so from time to time, I recall our history in light of the day.
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
I’m sorry. That did not work as I intended.
Trumpslide!
Nothing succeeds like success. I googled 1 day prior predictions 2016 and actual 2016 electoral college votes.
Get some!
If I could, I surely would vote for Trump. Unfortunately, I am Canadian and cannot. Thanks, Gerard, for bringing the excellence of this man to the fore. We need more like him.
We are going to have the biggest landslide in history
My prediction- President Trump will WIN AGAIN, and with at least 354 electoral votes.
MAGA and God bless America.
So happy bureaucracies like the vaunted CDC has our back. Fuhk! They are smart sunsabitches! The actually saved us in the epidemic.
Now I have your attention. This morning, on the radio, the news that the pandemic is going into its deadliest phase ever, and also the CDC says that even though this is the case, we are encouraged to go out to the physical polls and vote. If you have been quarantined, it’s okay to vote. I shit you not. COVID is deadly, but voting (of course they want you to lean Biden, don’t they?) is more important.
Following the “science,” no doubt. I hate the CDC and all doctors in charge of groups. I hope to hell somebody has the courage to grab them by the pussy and frikkin destroy their action. That radio report this morning was so insulting it is indescribable.
Today. Election Day. 2020. A reality show. A cliffhanger.
I’m holding my breath, waiting to hear shouted across the nation:
DEMOCRAT PARTY,
YOU”RE FIRED!
In a just world:
Place the AG and the State Auditors in NV, AZ, MI, PA, GA and NC in jail immediately. They sit atop a throne of lies.
The Libertarian candidate in NV has taken half of the votes Trump needs to win. Happy, now, Libertarians? The time a 3rd party candidate cost America her freedom and threw the world into a thousand years of chaos. File her candidacy under: “fuck around and find out.”
