Itโ€™s January 20th. 1 year. Day 366. 1,094 to go.

Tariffs, Venezuela, Minnesota, Ukraine, Greenland, political violence, Dept of War, Trump Kennedy Center, Gulf of America, Epstein files unseen, and on and on. Affordability? Nope.

Trump accepted a peace prize from FIFA today. What an embarrassment for the president, the US and especially for FIFA. Who the he$$ cares about a peace prize from the soccer organization (which has its own history of corruption) as they suck up to Donald?

Rep Johnson defends eliminating tax on gun silencers due to 2nd Amendment protection of a fundamental right. Its BS. The Dec of Independence states the fundamental right of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. With Johnsonโ€™s logic shouldnโ€™t we eliminate taxes on groceries? We need food to live.

Dear Chuck
I get 10 emails a day asking for $$ to the help Dems โ€œlead the fightโ€ and at the first opportunity to do the right thing you show you have no spine.

Fighting isnโ€™t fun, but rolling over doesnโ€™t stop a bully.

Can we stop calling it โ€œShock And Aweโ€? There is no awe. โ€œShock And Hubrisโ€ perhaps, โ€œShock And Stupidityโ€ certainly.

NPR has been removed from their press office space and replaced with Breitbart. Breitbart News now has office space in the Pentagon. NY Times, Politico and NBC News also removed.The Hegseth era begins. Yikes!

My painting โ€œFuture:Hopeโ€ is currently featured in the main gallery window of Grafica in Webster Groves, MO (St Louis) We all need a bit of positivity right now and this painting gives me pause to reflect and refocus on our ability to create a positive future. Art matters and rekindles the spirit.

โ€œKaleidoscope Of Choicesโ€ is part of my Pathways series of oil paintings which focuses on the idea that we all have choices to make along our individual journeys. I appreciate all those who support my creative journey and invite everyone to follow along. More to come.
