Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
Marin-An
sun breaks over the eucalyptus
grove below the wet pasture,
water’s about hot,
I sit in the open window
& roll a smoke.
distant dogs bark, a pair of
cawing crows; the twang
of a pygmy nuthatch high in a pine –
from behind the cypress windrow
the mare moves up, grazing.
a soft continuous roar
comes out of the far valley
of the six-lane highway – thousands
and thousands of cars
driving men to work.

Effin eh from Vancouver Canada.
I am SO down with that!!!!!
One of the magnificent things about MY President, DJT, is that he has exposed and continues to expose the so-called Progressives as the very worst POS to ever exist in a free nation. And he enjoys doing it.
His posts are offensive to the Left but he’s usually spot on, their behavior over exposes their mental illness and its rash marxist desires and he’s got a great sense of humor….does not give a flip about how butt hurt the Leftist trash becomes.
I still can’t bring myself to be a Trump *fan* exactly. But I’m impressed with the way he’s dealt with all the bullshit that’s been heaped his way since … sometime back in 2015.
And even if I weren’t, the democrats and their constant ranting – and especially the 2020 candidates with their incessant totalitarian “plans” to Make America More Like California – are the best advertisements for Four More Years he could hope for.
