Never . . .

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/never-again.html


(from https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/27/opinion/adam-kinzinger-jan-6-committee.html a Republican United States representative from Illinois and thanks to Frank Diventi)
". . . On Jan. 6, hundreds of our fellow citizens stormed the U.S. Capitol, armed and ready for battle. For hours, broadcast live on television and streamed on social media, rioters attacked law enforcement and eventually breached the halls of Congress in an effort to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election. . . Their goal was to subvert America’s democratic process — and their means to this end was brute force and violent assaults on the men and women of the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department. . . How did this happen? Why? Who spurred this effort? Was it organized? When did our government leaders know of the impending attacks and what were their responses? What level of preparation or warnings did our law enforcement have? Was there coordination between the rioters and any members of Congress, or with staff? . . . We need answers and we need accountability, and the only way to get that is a full investigation and understanding of what happened to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. . . "

Traveling . . .

Traveling about
To see what you can see
Expands your perspective
By enormous degree.
Whether air or by car,
On a train, or by ocean,
You'll see new, you'll see different,
In both calm and commotion.

Funny . . .

(from https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/10/donald-trump-has-fundamentally-changed-late-night-comedy.html [November 10, 2020])
". . . in 2017, there were more than 3,100 jokes made about Trump during late night programs. . . “He’s turned comedians into watch dogs,” [Robert] Lichter [professor of political communications and sociology at George Mason University]said, noting that comedians aren’t just poking fun at the president, but dissecting his policies and speeches on-air. . . Political humor has always been a staple of late night television, but under Trump, the line between news and satire has blurred. However, just because Trump will be exiting the White House in January to make room for President-Elect Joe Biden, it doesn’t mean he’ll disappear from late night. . . When Clinton left office in 2001, comedians continued to take jabs at him. Throughout George W. Bush’s first year in office more jokes were made about Clinton than Bush, Lichter said. . . “I fear he’ll never leave the public eye,” said Zack Bornstein, an Emmy-nominated writer and director who has worked on “Saturday Night Live,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and for Netflix and CBS. “This isn’t the kind of evil dude who goes quietly into the night and starts painting watercolors. He’s going to start his own media company to fuss 24/7. And then there will be the trials. We’re going to have to talk about those.” . . . Trump isn’t ‘good’ for comedy . . . “We’re not writing about Trump all day because we want to,” said Jenny Hagel, a comedian that writes for “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and works as the executive producer and head writer for “The Amber Ruffin Show.” . . . “We are talking about Trump because he just somehow manages to dominate every minute of every news cycle. I look forward to the day that he doesn’t.”. . . "

Who . . .

. . .  said it, stole it, corrupted it?  Who knows?

(from https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/blood-sweat-and-tears.html)
". . . The expression 'blood, sweat and tears' is usually said to have been coined by Sir Winston Churchill in his famous "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" speech in 1940, when he warned the British people of the hardships to come in fighting WWII. . . translated from the Welsh by J. Davis, 1837:
Christ the High Priest of our profession, when he laid down his life for us on Calvary, was bathed in his own blood, sweat and tears. . . Christmas Evans knew the Bible by heart and was no doubt influenced in his choice of words by this passage from The King James Bible, Luke 22:44: And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. . . The French and Italians, also Christian nations, have their own versions of the phrase - 'suer sang et eau' (sweat blood and water/tears) and 'lacrime e sangue' (blood and tears). . . "

Hocus-Pocus . . .


". . . 'But it is well for a man to respect his own vocation, whatever it is; and to think himself bound to uphold it, and to claim for it the respect it deserves; is it not?' Arthur reasoned. 'And your vocation, Gowan, may really demand this suit and service. I confess I should have thought that all Art did.' . . . 'What a good fellow you are, Clennam!' exclaimed the other, stopping to look at him, as if with irrepressible admiration. 'What a capital fellow! You have never been disappointed. That's easy to see.' . . . It would have been so cruel if he had meant it, that Clennam firmly resolved too believe he did not mean it. Gowan, without pausing, laid his hand upon his shoulder, and laughingly and lightly went on: 'Clennam, I don't like to dispel your generous visions, and I would give any money (if I had any), to live in such a rose-colored mist. But what I do in my trade, I do to sell. What all we fellows do, we do to sell. If we didn't want to sell it for the most we can get for it, we shouldn't do it. Being work, it has to be done; but it's easily enough done. All the rest is hocus-pocus. Not here's one of the advantages, our disadvantages, of knowing a disappointed man. You hear the truth.'. . .
