". . . some of the planners of the pro-Trump rallies that took place in Washington, D.C., have begun communicating with congressional investigators and sharing new information about what happened when the former president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. . . The two sources also claim they interacted with members of Trump’s team, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who they describe as having had an opportunity to prevent the violence. . . The two sources, both of whom have been granted anonymity due to the ongoing investigation, describe participating in “dozens” of planning briefings ahead of that day. . . “I remember Marjorie Taylor Greene specifically,” the organizer says. “I remember talking to probably close to a dozen other members at one point or another or their staffs.”. . . the pair both say the members who participated in these conversations or had top staffers join in included Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas). . . "

Moment . . .

https://www.wired.com/story/stay-in-the-moment-take-a-picture/

Hey you down there on the ground

Don’t you think that it’s time 

You should fly

And do you consider the cost

Of the pride that you wear 

Like a smile

Take this moment

You’ve got here

You may not 

Get another try

Sometimes only

One chance comes around

At a time

It’s two that’s the number required

For the dance that we do

To get by

A few drag you into the mire

But they’re strong

Many wiles they devise

Doomed if you don’t learn

Farce is what you earn from the tragedy

What have we to gain

By being stubborn?

Moment
- the the forthcoming release 'Grains'

Aces . . .

 

https://pixels.com/featured/3-pocket-aces-aaron-geraud.html

When I see that look upon your face

I know that I’ve been dealt an ace of hearts.

Something starts.

Pulse is pounding like a conga drum.

The blood goes rushing to and from my head,

Turns my face to red.

So ante-up and hit me once then hit me twice.

The stakes are high. 

You know I’ve got to keep as cool as ice.

This game we’re in together

Could end as quickly as it starts.

But I’ll just take my chances.

I’ll just take my chances

Cause I know that I have you

And you’re my . . . 

Ace of hearts.

I know that I have you and you’re my 

Ace of hearts.

Deal me in I’m staying for the course

And if I lose don’t feel remorse for me.

You will always be

In my every breath and in my soul.

When chips are down you take control and then

Bring me back again.

Deluded . . .

http://searchingforlaugh.blogspot.com/2020/08/eating-shrub-of-delusion.html

Would I just dare to review all the facts

And reach a conclusion,

And accordingly act?

Is it genuine influence

That these actors exert

To convince me that truth

Is a thing to pervert?

Is there nothing not tried 

To increase my confusion?

Is the price well worthwhile

To promote this delusion?

By Jeff Slate)

". . . (Eric) Clapton may have been branded Rolling Stone magazine’s second-greatest guitarist of all time, and is a three-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee who has inspired legions to try to follow in his footsteps, but the shiny veneer papering over his belief systems has always been paper thin. . . Since last year, Clapton has repeatedly used his vast platform to do his utmost to undermine expert medical advice. . . . He has opposed lockdowns and made suspicious claims about the dangers of vaccines. This spring, he said . . . that scientific studies, expert opinions and public health recommendations extolling the importance of vaccines were “propaganda,” . . . But many fans still seem to have been caught by surprise. In a lengthy piece this month by writer David Browne in Rolling Stone — which has treated the artist with reverence for more than half a century — Clapton is painted as a conspiracy peddler of the highest order, and a racist of the lowest. . . The article also revisits Clapton’s 1976 racist rant from a stage in Birmingham, England, where he repeatedly shouted slurs and voiced support for the British demagogue Enoch Powell, known for his divisive, race-baiting “rivers of blood” speech in 1968. . . lapton has joked about or laughed off accusations of racism, as well as a 1968 Rolling Stone interview where he low-key insults Jimi Hendrix’s guitar playing and suggests the allure of Hendrix and other Black artists has to do with their genitalia. . . Clapton certainly has his defenders, especially among conservative anti-vaxxers. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, himself no stranger to crackpot conspiracy theories or race baiting, tweeted a picture of himself with Clapton backstage during the guitarist’s recent tour of red state arenas. . . But Clapton’s fans may be turning their backs on this legend amid what is likely to be his final act. . . It may be a sad end for one of the legends of the Golden Age of rock and roll, but it also feels fitting. Bigotry and ignorance, in the age of the internet, has a way of catching up with you. In a time when many of us are re-examining how our life experiences and information sources have shaped our world views, Clapton’s racism and conspiracy theories can no longer be ignored. . . "

Ambience & Wine

Super . . .

http://clipart-library.com/super-hero-cartoon-images.html

Should every man yield to the yearning unashamed
Without hypocrisy and wastefulness;
Squander the strength he’s been endowed with;
Feign superiority as tunnel vision’s all he sees?


I’m trying to develop a superman;
Dionysus evolving into perfect humanity.

Gadding about helping each other get along
Won’t make us build the kind of man I see.
Inferiors are weak copies of betters
Printed on bad paper from old and worn-out plates now gone.

Selection, survivors mastering;
Bettering the species, irrespective of
Everything you’ve ever learned
About what’s right or wrong.

You hear the word, you’re quoting scripture that you learned
Originating from a deity.
But should that motivate your actions?
Such self-serving rewarding scheme.
Yours or mine, that’s what both seem.

Superman
- from the forthcoming "Grains" by Ray Jozwiak - Gonzo Piano
