"Deranged Orange Excursion" - Postcard

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon", which made a joke out of the deaths of men, women, and children, offended me, but apparently some thought those deaths were "hilarious", so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.

The Five Eyes State Run News propaganda and lies about the US Government’s War for Israel against Iran are astounding.

In 2024, Trump campaigned on "No New Wars", but he is calling the US Government’s War for Israel against Iran an "Excursion", so he will probably claim that means he did not lie.

Back in 2008, Obama campaigned on "Bringing Home The Troops", but he did not do that. Most of the 2008 "anti-war" people stopped protesting US troops being in Iraq and Afghanistan after Obama was elected.

In 2011, when Obama bombed Libya, Republicans in Congress said Obama needed Congressional approval to bomb Libya, while Democrats in Congress said he did not.

Now, in 2026, while Trump bombs Iran, Democrats in Congress say Trump needs Congressional approval to bomb Iran, while Republicans in Congress say he does not.

Yet most people remain in the Divide And Conquer trap that the Uniparty put them into, and argue with each other, while the 1% Parasites continue enriching themselves.

This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Daring Dorothea Tanning".

I struggled with this theme, so it is not very surreal.

Seasons don't fear the Reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.
We can be like they are.

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on.
The curtains flew and then he appeared.

Saying, "Don't be afraid."
And she had no fear.
And she ran to him.
"Baby, take my hand.
We'll be able to fly."
Then they started to fly.
She had taken his hand.
Don't fear the Reaper.

"How Was Your Winter" - Postcard

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "How Was Your Winter".

I am hoping that a picture tells a thousand words, and that my art piece shows how my Winter was. And Winter is not done yet: although rare, Connecticut can get snow in April.

I live in the southwest coastal area of Connecticut, which is also called the "tri-state" area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Because Connecticut has Long Island Sound, and the rest of the "tri-state" has the North Atlantic Ocean, our snow is typically "wet" snow. Having grown up here, I never knew that nice, light, fluffy snow, that states like Utah get, even existed until I was older: the snow here is usually heavy like cement. ;-)

This Winter has been unusually cold, unusually windy, and in addition to "normal" snowfall events, we have had two major snow storms that each dumped about 1.5 feet (0.4572 meters) of snow on us. During the first 1.5 foot storm, because the temperature was much lower than freezing, it was light, fluffy snow, except where I live, it ended as sleet / freezing rain, so there was an ice crust on top. During the second 1.5 foot storm, the temperature was close to freezing, so it was heavy, wet snow. And to add insult to injury: that snow stuck to the snow shovel like glue.

My name for my 2025-2026 Winter is: The Winter From Hell.
