Unwell . . .

 . . . or confused

http://clipart-library.com/delusion-cliparts.html

(from https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/mike-lindells-plot-destroy-america/619593/ with many thanks to Frank DiVenti)
". . . (Pillow Guy Mike)Lindell’s thinking contains a large dose of Christian millenarianism too. This is a man who had a vision in a dream of himself and Donald Trump standing together—and that dream became reality. No wonder he believes that a lot of things are going to happen after August 10. It’s not just that the Supreme Court will vote 9–0 to reinstate Trump. It is also that America will be a better place. “We’re going to get elected officials that make decisions for the people, not just for their party,” Lindell said. There will be “no more machines” in this messianic America, meaning no more voting machines: “On both sides, people are opening their eyes.” In this great moment of national renewal, there will be no more corruption, just good government, goodwill, goodness all around. . .He will not, on August 10, find that “the experts” agree with him. Some have already provided careful explanations as to why the “packet captures” can’t be what he says they are. Others think that the whole discussion is pointless. When I called Chris Krebs, the Trump administration’s director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, he refused even to get into the question of whether Lindell has authentic data, because the whole proposal is absurd. The heavy use of paper ballots, plus all of the postelection audits and recounts, mean that any issues with mechanized voting systems would have been quickly revealed. “It’s all part of the grift,” Krebs told me. “They’re exploiting the aggrieved audience’s confirmation bias and using scary yet unintelligible imagery to keep the Big Lie alive, despite the absence of any legitimate evidence.". . . He is our country after all, or one face of our country: hyper-optimistic and overconfident, ignorant of history and fond of myths, firm in the belief that we alone are the exceptional nation and we alone have access to exceptional truths. Safe in his absolute certainty. . . "

Slowride . . .

https://www.fastcashforcars.ca/blog/2018/09/22/fast-c

I got in my car,
But had nowhere to go.
Saw a few friends
On the corner I know.
Told 'em 'get in the car'
Leave the grass to just grow.
We're takin' a ride
But it's gonna be slow.

Sensible . . .

https://www.pinterest.ch/pin/294282156871862881/

(from https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/07/27/mike-enzi-retired-wyoming-republican-senator-dies-after-bike-crash/5383267001/ and thanks to Pamela)
". . . Retired Sen. Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican known as a consensus-builder in an increasingly polarized Washington, has died. He was 77. . . His “80-20 rule” called on colleagues to focus on the 80% of an issue where legislators tended to agree and discard the 20% where they didn’t. . . “Nothing gets done when we’re just telling each other how wrong we are,” Enzi said in his farewell address to the Senate in 2020. “Just ask yourself: Has anyone ever really changed your opinion by getting in your face and yelling at you or saying to you how wrong you are? Usually that doesn’t change hearts or minds.”. . . "

Dust . . .

. . . and gas
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/asteroid-meteor-
meteorite-and-comet-whats-the-difference/

Meteors that come once a year;
Quite a show of fireworks 
When you’re there to see them.
Shooting stars fantastically glow.
All too soon no one can say
Where they are or gone to.

Back on earth we average reside.
Most of us will never know such adoration.
So I go my ordinary way.
Do my job and feed my kids;
This world and wonder.

Dust and gas -
That’s what they’re made of.
Why all the fascination?

Fabulous! They’ll take your breath away.
They will dazzle with their style 
And their savoir faire.
Improvise; they make their own moves.
All the cattle follow close 
Behind from the pasture.

Why couldn’t I be
One among those many millions?
Why can’t someone see
My astrological worth?
What causes the sea
Of heavenly bodies to glow like they do?
Shining so brightly for me and for you.
Sooner or later they burn themselves out
But oh so beautifully.

Meteors have nothing to fear.
From their distant firmament
They shine for the masses.
Safe above, removed from earthly life,
From uncertainty that lines the 
Cloth of our mortal existence.

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 By Adam Kinzinger, 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 . . .

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-a-selection-of-travel-guide-books-
and-leaflets-about-cornwall-in-england-28442630.html

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 . . .

https://www.shutterstock.com/search/laughing+cartoon+man

(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.”. . . "

That day was January 20, 2021
