I contacted other artists of Italian American heritage and found that we all shared similar stories. I also talked to artists who were born in Italy but make a home here. Then I reached out to artists in the Italian diaspora, in Canada, Australia, and from Argentina. From those conversations I created a website and then a book (links at the bottom of this post).

Calandra Italian American Institute in Midtown Manhattan has been extended to run through the end of April. The exhibition is co-curated by Joseph Sciorra, director of cultural and academic programs at the institute, and me. We made a great team, Joseph and I, sharing a vision for what was possible in the institute's relatively small gallery space. We selected the work of 21 artists whose paintings and sculptures reflected one of three themes: <i>Mapping Routes, </i>with a reference to immigration histories and vernacular expression; <i>A Legacy of Making</i>, which reflects the tradition of handwork in fiber, clay, and wood; and <i>No Accent on the Italian, </i>work that doesn't necessarily speak to an ethnic identity, but whose makers were undeniably informed by the immigrant experience. We didn't install the work according to our categories but rather in a way that allowed for a visual flow. </div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><b>Exhibition particulars </b></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">. <i>A Legacy of Making is </i>at the John D.Calandra Italian American Institute in Manhattan</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">. 25 W. 43rd Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), 17th floor</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Exhibition extended:</span><span style="color: #990000;"> </span></b>The show is up through the end of April, 2024</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">.

Connections to a discernable Italian art tradition--or for that matter to Italian American aesthetic practices more specifically--vary across the exhibition, ranging from the explicit to the suggestive to the nonexistent. A dynamic tension operates in which a usable past is employed to create not only art of the moment but a reimagined and reconfigured ethnic sensibility. Ultimately such creative diversity is predicated on a heterogeneity of experiences, sensibilities, and understandings that serve as inspiration for transformative acts of beauty.</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-align: center;">Below: the two curators with audience.

which the veil between worlds is pierced and spirits make their way back into the
land of the living. It is a lovely concept, so strongly held onto over the centuries, that even Christianity incorporated the ritual into a holy day, All Souls Day, on November 1.</span></span></h2><div><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;">Here in Salem, Massachusetts, where I live part of the time, Halloween is celebrated all month, mostly by tourists eager to dress as goblins and witches and by the businesses that cash in on the reveling.

<p class="MsoNormal">As we crack open our Kit Kats, we might remember that
branding a woman as a witch was a way to control her. And what better way to
control her than by killing her—by burning, as was done in Europe in the Middle
Ages and by hanging, as was done in Salem, Massachusetts. Consider Joan of Arc,
who was burned at the stake in 1431 in Rouen, France, for being a heretic, sorcerer,
and crossdresser. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Burning continued in Puritan England for
almost 300 years. According to the magazine <i>Historic UK,</i> “<span style="background: white; color: #232323;">From 1484 until around 1750 some 200,000
witches were tortured, burnt, or hanged in Western Europe.” <br />I remember reading
of advice offered to women of the time: Breathe deeply of the smoke so that you
will be killed by asphyixiation before the flames char your flesh.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The numbers were much smaller in Salem, and the manner of
killing different, but the deaths were no less appalling. In a year between
June 1692 and May 1693, 19 people were hanged as witches, 14 of them women, including
the women whose names you see on the monument at Proctor’s Ledge in Salem. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tituba" target="_blank">Tituba</a>,
an enslaved woman of Barbadian or indigenous South American origin, was
reputedly the first woman to be accused. She was not hanged but spent a year in
jail after accusing others of the crime. That “confession” was beaten out of
her. After she was released, she disappeared from Salem’s historical record.
(Of the five men, 81-year--old Giles Corey was pressed to death with heavy
stones.)</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit56EqutsIiqqsRRHEjbW1tFL5Lff58H7MonU9oNtFnuWpF6lXJwkRhWis4pyN9kiWYAnZElzY2ITsphs0vlBqijwo5UyrFrEkreJmjgwUUjEMZVOVKCtCKrRC9vcf324ZQ_OjEHd31JykOQhSX9vbYz2QduSqnyUavu_Sd1NOx3RtOTYCG1gCWu_YenVr/s680/2021-06-16.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="680" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit56EqutsIiqqsRRHEjbW1tFL5Lff58H7MonU9oNtFnuWpF6lXJwkRhWis4pyN9kiWYAnZElzY2ITsphs0vlBqijwo5UyrFrEkreJmjgwUUjEMZVOVKCtCKrRC9vcf324ZQ_OjEHd31JykOQhSX9vbYz2QduSqnyUavu_Sd1NOx3RtOTYCG1gCWu_YenVr/w640-h480/2021-06-16.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Contemporary memorial to the women and who were hanged as witches at Proctor's Ledge, on Gallows Hill in Salem, Massachusetts, where the killings took place.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Photo Jim DeGennaro from the internet<br /><br />Below, a closer view of one stone<br />Image from the internet</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihsdYvUkF0bvKkP_DJj-tZZpV24vZoIW18OgJdu-EK9tU8Qui2yVm7qQ7qRK6ZAHcXrn7stoDH8hK06OMErAN-in4XO31V0N1gHzitl6XjAK0CElf_ynAdYyzn76_vIb_mFKetWaJAdpJXqCcyVPPOr_FrhxgrOwDIbd1Oh93EdPLZxEKc_0KNbCRVuHeR/s614/6%20REbecca%20Nurse.PNG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="449" data-original-width="614" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihsdYvUkF0bvKkP_DJj-tZZpV24vZoIW18OgJdu-EK9tU8Qui2yVm7qQ7qRK6ZAHcXrn7stoDH8hK06OMErAN-in4XO31V0N1gHzitl6XjAK0CElf_ynAdYyzn76_vIb_mFKetWaJAdpJXqCcyVPPOr_FrhxgrOwDIbd1Oh93EdPLZxEKc_0KNbCRVuHeR/w640-h468/6%20REbecca%20Nurse.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs-x8pZquJWgFl6FhqYW8fMiql90vk6eTreziUSYyBmOqWu2Z6El_Z7YYBmIkK6nCNXF2hcL-L3kurLASoQqjU-O4RV9Ynu3qBVGeprDbxSRnJ2JhdRiy2JQVpkAFnkyOlI0NPkwIFDVF9AInEXON8XnVkNc-jKB1FvK0lAEPgIkNayFl7hZSTetaWnblQ/s2400/7tituba.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">The inquisitioners in both England and Salem had a unique method of determining
if a woman was a witch: dunking. They dropped a bound woman into a body of water. If
she somehow survived, she was a witch and was burned or hanged. If she drowned, she was
innocent.</p><p class="MsoNormal">If she escaped the flames or the noose, there were other punishments in store for an outspoken woman. In 16<sup>th</sup>- and 17<sup>th</sup>-century England and Scotland, her head might have been strapped into what was called a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scold%27s_bridle#/media/File:Scoldengravingalpha.jpg" target="_blank"><b>scold’s bridle</b></a>. This was not just a muzzle, but a <a href="https://allthatsinteresting.com/scolds-bridle" target="_blank"><b>contraption</b></a> that contained a metal plate that pressed on her tongue. In its most extreme form, the plate had a spike that pushed into the tongue itself. So much for having an opinion. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Do I need to add that this unspeakably cruel punishment was meted out only to women?<br /> </p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuKsxAbe17X61R9fNeYgMzho9y3VAWQvN9MWoCasyKDouOyRnX2fcJFiDuW6iWfdpqXV3c0Cthl6XCx6pVhDgu1zQWVrku5Z7Z83cVhwhMEkesk5M3eilGD8aYs2nWlgvWYG28N3WXuSCa6zfTy0kQn7-5FS967av_COi8cXpahlBl4A6XqhH9Jgr91Kfd/s1024/8.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1010" data-original-width="1024" height="632" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuKsxAbe17X61R9fNeYgMzho9y3VAWQvN9MWoCasyKDouOyRnX2fcJFiDuW6iWfdpqXV3c0Cthl6XCx6pVhDgu1zQWVrku5Z7Z83cVhwhMEkesk5M3eilGD8aYs2nWlgvWYG28N3WXuSCa6zfTy0kQn7-5FS967av_COi8cXpahlBl4A6XqhH9Jgr91Kfd/w640-h632/8.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Worse than being branded with a scarlet A, the scold's bridle encased a woman's head.

In this post are installation shots from Arden Gallery in Boston, where
my solo, the eponymous <i>Tutto,</i> is up through November 29; a little teaser
from <i>Radical Chrome</i> at Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, Connecticut,
where I am part of a five-artist show that focuses on, yes, color (I’ll soon have
a full-length post on that show, which is up for a long stretch); and <i>Pique</i>,
a group show that opened the season at Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta in September.</div>

"Paint, gilding, and inlaid materials animated and enlivened marble, bronze, and terracotta figures," we read in the wall text that opens a surprising show in the museum's Greek and Roman galleries. This traveling exhibition was conceived and executed by Vinzenz Brinkman, head of the Department of Antiquity at the Liebieghaus Sculpture Collection in Frankfurt, and his partner, Ulrike Koch-Brinkman, an art historian and archeologist. Based on their photographic and spectrographic study, they reimagined what the sculptures would have looked like.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGF-F-oP-oQJWjJf0Zk3RHtqgNN0nP3LzuPy7K8LqmJgiZQ0i3txzPI_HvpQCPcXnHa2eH5QX3RMCvTF_eIZ8QGqtJ8dCgSSjUpSQHaZlGP8ny1DhmgvX8rVSVYUX5ZytBXwueIFpKKMeQAm4KLsRzEjgxuAZHbtpRwrrsr7BfMYmOrbUMMIH0gvbi_A/s815/2.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="815" data-original-width="604" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGF-F-oP-oQJWjJf0Zk3RHtqgNN0nP3LzuPy7K8LqmJgiZQ0i3txzPI_HvpQCPcXnHa2eH5QX3RMCvTF_eIZ8QGqtJ8dCgSSjUpSQHaZlGP8ny1DhmgvX8rVSVYUX5ZytBXwueIFpKKMeQAm4KLsRzEjgxuAZHbtpRwrrsr7BfMYmOrbUMMIH0gvbi_A/w474-h640/2.PNG" width="474" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Reconstruction of the marble funerary statue of Phrasikleia,</i> 2010-2019, marble stucco on polymethyl methacrylate, natural pigments in egg temperea, gold foil, gemstones</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Viewing the exhibition is a bit like going on a scavenger hunt.

This krater is the only known vessel showing the painting of a marble sculpture with wax. Here Herakles (Hercules to the Romans), down from Mt. Olympus, is depicted watching a painter polychroms a sculpture of himself. The painter is shown applying encaustic paint to the figure. We know it is encaustic because the assistant at left is tending a brazier for tools that would have been used to melt and apply the wax <br /><br />One other thing about the polychromed sculptures: They depict an ancient world that was not just white, something we maynot see when viewing all that white marble. (A look at the diversity of faces in the Fayum Portraits, painted during the era of Graeco Roman Egypt, makes this immediately apparent.)

Painters Stephen Maine and Melissa Staiger and sculptor Naomi Cohn engage in lively chromatic badinage in which color zips and jumps between two and three dimensions.<br /><br />Maine has perfected a painterly version of printing directly onto canvas. His palette is limited to a couple or three hues per canvas, but he packs a retinal punch, wresting plenty of gesture, nuance and surface from his materials and technique. Cohn matches him in color and gesture. Her ceramic forms are bold, their color via glaze. Cohn's forms are echoed in the geometry of Melissa Staiger's compositions while her deeply built-up surfaces engage with Maine's.<br /><br />Dare I call this a chromatic<i> menage à trois?</i></span></h3></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuqF3etclL7Aqby0Mut1et_JharWy9qmyWfEwNxrukjhpYMep110NoWy6-mXhC-9XgJG9cmHk0B51AxM8ba4ZDG1O-3CUW-N54lVqryvcQK0VzO8prlTnOC038AygsY2SzO8GsEa6_BKuiOW78re-2eQwD56HdwjUJtDdmUZW8yyS9l2qjLwGw9QPoxg/s3264/13.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuqF3etclL7Aqby0Mut1et_JharWy9qmyWfEwNxrukjhpYMep110NoWy6-mXhC-9XgJG9cmHk0B51AxM8ba4ZDG1O-3CUW-N54lVqryvcQK0VzO8prlTnOC038AygsY2SzO8GsEa6_BKuiOW78re-2eQwD56HdwjUJtDdmUZW8yyS9l2qjLwGw9QPoxg/w640-h480/13.JPG" width="640" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Foreground: Naomi Cohn, <i>Untitled (deep blue/deep purple/ vertical), Untitled (deep red/purple/double vertical, </i>and<i> Untitled (deep yellow w/ shelf), </i>all 2022, glazed ceramic; back wall: Stephen Maine, <i>P22-0405</i> and <i>P22-0406, </i>both 2022, acrylic on canvas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn093FTOMMbRTVzjSgVCh0tdwlEEqMbFiWu1myPMVpCiYNqzoXI1T2Ei2AauGHxmBAChLQMJVWRZhfjfAtbTQbxfNbhr170DSCCgbNQ9Ye3Hw2Y2ZeNSwOw5jn87mzf9UBinBe5aOlPJ806aqzTr8aQh5TyescAPOi9gybnmb-qWawAZGDqI2rVvXWVA/s3264/14.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn093FTOMMbRTVzjSgVCh0tdwlEEqMbFiWu1myPMVpCiYNqzoXI1T2Ei2AauGHxmBAChLQMJVWRZhfjfAtbTQbxfNbhr170DSCCgbNQ9Ye3Hw2Y2ZeNSwOw5jn87mzf9UBinBe5aOlPJ806aqzTr8aQh5TyescAPOi9gybnmb-qWawAZGDqI2rVvXWVA/w640-h480/14.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Over mantel: Stephen Maine, <i>P22-0318, </i>2022, acrylic on canvas;<i> </i>Naomi Cohn, <i>Unbtitled (red/white/blue)</i> 2022, glazed ceramic;<i> Melissa Staiger, Wave No. 22, </i>acrylic on panel</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkY0k-294VjgjeMpWEL15VRgTMCw_G_mcWKK4wQZQ3QYDHgfpeiXRe3IxkUp-5IDGswTvAPnlUSeOAcZG2ASAcSA0se42nyYNe7AMCDuuJD407R1DTRPfAXMGbarm325RaJaA3yirMu5g8VTjRJpg4dxHC05-rSDqyn5HpOWn1TmAjjNBMzJXvLrQZTA/s3264/15.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkY0k-294VjgjeMpWEL15VRgTMCw_G_mcWKK4wQZQ3QYDHgfpeiXRe3IxkUp-5IDGswTvAPnlUSeOAcZG2ASAcSA0se42nyYNe7AMCDuuJD407R1DTRPfAXMGbarm325RaJaA3yirMu5g8VTjRJpg4dxHC05-rSDqyn5HpOWn1TmAjjNBMzJXvLrQZTA/w640-h480/15.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Continuing around the gallery<br />Left: Melissa Staiger, <i>Multi-Color Yellow, </i>2022, acrylic on panel; on pedestal at window: Naomi Cohn, <i>Untitled (notched/orange/red),</i> 2022, ceramic, glaze, oil paint</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnmolloygallery.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #444444;"><b>More info on the John Molloy Gallery website</b></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Exhibition up through November 12</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At the Jennifer Baahng Gallery: <i>Sharon Butler: Next Moves<br /></i></h3></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sharon Butler has long worked with a geometry that suggests open structures, like towers, closed structures like circuits, or systems like maps. She also spent four years, from 2016 to 2020, posting a digital drawing a day on Instagram, using a phone app to make and post the drawings. In her new work at the Jennifer Baahng Gallery on Madison Avenue, aptly titled <i>Next Moves, </i>Butler has produced a new body of work that appears to draw from her earlier efforts.<br /><br />The structure in her paintings--off-balance elements that are stacked, often teetering or suggestive of falling--are of a piece with the construction of the paintings themselves. Stacked and pieced, often askew, they contain a visual mishmash, sometimes flat, sometimes deeply spatial, that comes together just right. I'm not on Instagram, but I'm told that the pixelated grid that appears throughout the new work relates to the pixels in those small drawings. Those little squares provide a stabilizing element that is paradoxically jumpy and off kilter.<br /><br />So if I'm reading these paintings correctly, Butler's next moves are to work larger and to keep the viewer a bit tipsy without falling.

Oh, easy to say, “Just divorce,” but I have not only myself to think of—Barron and parents, too. So I wait.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I have many burger sent to Donald apartment (extra ketchup, of course). I am hoping for heart attack. I have chic black outfit all picked out, nicer than one for Ivana funeral. Yes, I worry Barron will lose father, but he is very close to his Dedek—grandfather—so when Donald die, almost the same. Barron say to me recently, “Mom, have you ever noticed how much Dad and Grandpa look alike?” (Yes, I notice.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I am sitting in air-condition suite here at Melan-a-Lago. Actually, not so much air condition as that I chill air with my own attitude. More squint, more cool.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I watch January 6 hearing while getting mani pedi, same as I do on January 6. Then red. Now coral. I do not understand why people so upset. Donald act the same on that day as every day.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />My suite of many room is coolest of entire villa, which I have rename Melan-a-Lago. After funeral (which I hope soon), I will sign paper to make legal. In meantime, I am working. Not soft porn (take your mind out of gutter). I have not done that since I engage to Donald and he call me “supermodel.” I am working on freezing Ivanka out of inheritance. She and skinny-man husband have so much money I think sometimes they print in basement. They have $24 million mansion here in Florida, plus skinny man buy entire beach for another $30 million. They do not want people see them, but joke on them. People do not want to see them anyway.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />With Ivanka out of will, there is just Junior and Eric. Eric you can distract with shiny object, but Junior need the money. I have start sending many burgers to his apartment, too. Also, I switch his Lipitor with Tic Tac.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In meantime I write First Lady memoir. What I have so far: I was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, in house my father build.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I do not let Donald into my suite.

Nothing say “I am sorry” like diamond. If sex good, bonus. If not, you have jewelry. If come from Kay, not OK. No sex. Get rid of boyfriend and find man with more money.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">My fiancé is of modest means.

Many blend and mix family enjoy each other company and get together even if husband/ father is not giving out money. However, if grown daughter continue to call father “Daddy” and call you “Gold digger,” nothing you do will fix.

You he do not like (sorry, not in will). Eric he feel sorry for (because not too smart, also have big gummy mouth). Barron he often forget about. I must remind is son. Tiffany, he say "Tiffany who?"

Just move into different suite in your villa. You have life you want, he continue to pay. No sex unless you need new home for parents. But if you must divorce, make him think he decide. Then big alimony. If he is much older, just be patient in your own suite. But make sure your name on villa and bank accounts. He die, you get everything. Better than alimony. </p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">August 11, 2022</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">KEEP THE CHANGE</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">All my life people call me hot, except for early teenage when they say I look like ostrich.

I do nothing illegal (except when lie for Genius Visa, but that is long time ago). Sex for diamonds is not crime if with husband.

Yes, I am listening.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />OK, so I give safe combination. (In this way, they leave mine alone. Also, no papers in mine.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But they go through my clothes. Do they think I have papers in my pockets? This I tell you: I do not break law.

For instance, after I spoon out giant blob of mash potatoe, I say to scraggly man, “I give you extra. Take with you what you not eat. Later you can add caviar and creme fraiche for second meal. Heat in microwave. Goggle Martha Stewart recipe for twice-cook potatoe, very good.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Heavy woman ask for more pasta. I say, Yes, I give you, but you must watch figure. Pilates will trim for you. Also I suggest Spanx to hold in middle.

Man come in wearing button-down shirt that look very much like Barron shirt I donate. (Barron now over seven feet, growing out of clothes.) I say to button-down man, “Nice shirt. Check around in donation bin for navy crested blazer and repp tie. You will look very prep for country club.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Grooming advice I offer as well. I tell man with big ugly hair on face that he would look so much handsome if he big trim. Wash often, I say. Beard oil is must-have product for you. Use beard brush. And moisturize rest of face.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Supervisor come over, ask I not offer advices, just smile and make peasant conversation. OK, so I talk about weather. Is hot. People come because hungry. Sorry poor. No home? How can you live without pool?

I am looking normal, like every pretty girl, with eye and cheekbone still far apart.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />We start to date in 1998. He call me “supermodel” and I become famous. Then he propose me to marry and give big diamond ring. I am surprise because still he is marry to Marla, but I say yes and take ring. Its worth very much money, and I think if he does not divorce Marla, I will sell ring and move into better apartment.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But he divorce Marla and I move into Trump Tower. Also I get Green Card. We marry at Melan-a-Lago (when still call Mar-a-Lago) in big—$2.5 million. (Is entire earning of Slovenia for one year.) I am now American and wealthy woman.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Well, maybe not so wealthy. I sign prenup. This is American word, mean <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">you do not get half.</i> So although I marry rich man, money is not mine. I think maybe he do not really love me. Or maybe not as rich as he say. I sign prenup but only after he promise very big allowance, my own credit card (no limit, of course), and give me many jewel, which I put in safe place (in hem of jacket in case I must leave quickly).<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But I learn business from Donald. When he win president and want me to move from big gold tower to White House, I say, “Let’s talk.” Legally I cannot tell detail, but I will always have big house to live in with plenty room for parents and plenty money for spending. Barron also will have what he need for rest of life.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Also, after Stormy situation when I am so mad, I get more jewelry.

Suddenly hut flush. Sales lady say to me, “Oh, honey, don’t worry, it happens to all of us.” She do not make me feel better. I am not like sales lady. I do not sell dress in store. I am wealthy woman. do not work. But I am so shame sweating in try-on dress, I buy. Dress so wet plop out bottom of paper shopping bag. I leave on street.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Another time dress up for big event in Ballroom downstairs at Melan-a-Lago. I so much sweat that diamonds wet. Yes, I like to be dripping diamonds, but not when diamonds actually dripping. I go into ladies room and lock door. Take off tiara and stick in front of hand dryer.

I put on extra pounds. Maybe pool boy do not notice yet, but I do. More in middle part. Now must eat half as much just to stay same. Already I eat almost nothing to keep model figure. How much less I can eat? I am hungry! In Slovenia I am poor starving girl. Now I am here at Melan-a-Lago, wealthy woman, still starving.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Also, feel big rage. Since marry Donald often I am angry, but this is very more. Very angry at everything. Especially him. He is big and bloat. Nobody say to him fat.

Once time leaking and need to be replace. I have good surgeon. Replace bigger and better than ever. Be Best! What explode was head when Donald talk about “grab pussy” and when I see news of Donald and Stormy woman. Still have head.

He know what I like: puff sleeve, pussycat bow, full skirt, waist-cinch belt, high heel. Yes, I have ignore decades of feminism and instead dress like June Cleaver.

Sometimes wear fatigue style like Fidel Castro, but much better tailoring to show off model body (and of course much more expensive fabric). Sometimes even brass button like general. When I wear, Donald salute. Even his, how you say, little bone-spur soldier stand at attention. One time he ask, "Can't you dress more like Goebbels?” I tell him I cannot.

His father is not going to leave him much. Eric is just stupid, but very lucky, because he married a girl who is smart and greedy.” (Not so much soap opera these people as <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Beverly Hillbillies</i> in <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dallas</i>.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Ivana not talk about accident that kill her.

I suggest all pose naked on fur rug. This work so good for me, I think, why not everyone, but he say no. Some things I must say yes to because to keep money coming. So I wear white dress, very tight. Yes, a little see-through because still have model body. Also low cut to show off new bigger breasts. (Surgeon know me well, make what he call “science joke.” Say, “Many big diamonds will come from that extra bit of silicone.” I do not mind. He is right.

I do not think spy documents wants to go for swim.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Even Fox News think is OK for FBI to take back boxes. This is big surprise to Donald. He think anything he do will be defend by Fox. This is no more true. Fox people now do not take his calls. Rupert Murdoch getting tired of him. This I very understand.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Until boxes arrive here at Melan-a-Lago, only leak Donald make is into diaper. Now people thinks he leak secret information. This I think also. Many Top Secret folders empty. Where go information? But I tell you one thing: He say nothing to me. I think he talk to Ivanka. I wonder what information she put in application for Chinese trademark. Maybe nuclear secret?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I think Donald have affair with Putin they so much text. Well, mostly Donald text. Putin just write back, “Tell me more.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Anyway, whatever he have not give away or flush into toilet, FBI take back—even folders Donald change with Sharpie from "Top Secret" to "Not Secret."<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I do not like they call my home Mar-Illegal, but I like that Donald will be arrest. This will be happy day for me. If I cannot soon be widow, I will be married woman without husband. Donald will not like prison, but lock him up will be very good for me. Please soon.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />After take Donald away, I call Hillary. I learn new American word I wish to share with her: gloat. Come for lunch, I will say. We will gloat together over salad. Maybe get mani pedi together, too.</p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Septermber 10, 2022</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">GOLDEN HANDCUFF</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I hear people say behind back I have golden handcuff.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Why is bad?

Nothing to do. How many times I can get mani pedi? How many hour I can watch TV soap? How many sex I can have in cabana with pool boy? I am, how you say, crawling the wall.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mother suggest I learn to knit. This I remember from Slovenia when babica unravel feed sack and knit for me sweater from the threads. Scratch, yes, but made with love. She even use my baby teeth for button. Babica Knavs—this is my grandmother--is best knitter in village. Knit for everyone. All my classmate have feedbag sweater made by my babica. So much we scratch that teacher think we have insect in clothes, but I say, no, is babica sweater. Babica so famous, teacher understand.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">So, I think, yes, I learn. But no feed sacks for me. I go to Hobby Lobby in West Palm Beach to buy yarn. I am thinking something nice and soft with, of course, gold thread. This is what I find out: Hobby Lobby is like Costco for making. Also I find out that English put words together, call rhyme. (Too late I find out rhyming hobby store worse than husband.)</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I buy many nice yarn and many different size knitting needle. Also glitter and glue gun. Very much I like the glitter. Like diamond but very, very tiny. Also potholder loom, paint by number, and coup d’etat kits. I will have not just one hobby but many! I will make, make, make! So much I will make that I write book: “Melania Big Book of Hobby.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">OK, first must learn. Mother learn from Babica how to knit. She teach me. Needle in, yarn around, make loop. Again, again, again, again. Then purl (is backwards knit). So much looping! I am still bore. Plus is Florida here. Who wear sweater?<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />But I keep knitting. Have plan. I say to nobody else, not even to mother. I think Donald will fall on me while I am making him sweater. This is why I buy the very big needle.</p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">September 20, 2022</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">I READ HOROSCOPE</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I am born April 26.

We have very expensive painting by Renoir in Melania Tower apartment, call <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Two Sister on a Terrace</i>. Is pretty, with soft brush strokes in style call “Depressionism.” Show big girl and little girl sitting together. They do not look depress. Big girl wear blue dress and red hat; little girl wear blue hat with many flowers. Nobody naked. Some people say is fake, but I do not believe. Name “Renoir” right in corner.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I return to New York this week to talk about art. Soon we go to Met to see more Renoir, but this time go to MoMA. Is closer to Melania Tower. This museum show Modern Art. Is not always pretty. I have some opinion. Come with me,<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />We stop first at “Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh. Picture famous. Very swirl, like many galaxy in sky. I think he see something other people do not. Maybe hallucinate. Is this good or bad? I do not know. But this I do know: “Gogh” is not pronounce “go.” Is more like you are coughing up extra almond you eat for lunch: “Gockch.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />We go in next gallery to see Monet painting, “Water Lilies.” Picture is pretty color, and very big, but do not look like the jewelry. I am disappoint.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Next we go to see fur-cover teacup. Artist name is Meret Oppenheim. What she is thinking? Who will pour water into such thing? You will get hairy tea. What is next, feather frying pan? Mink chopsticks? Snakeskin serving tray? Why museum show this?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Also Jackson Pollock painting I do not understand why museum show. Even I can do this. Take nail polish and drip, drip, drip. I do this sometimes when bored. Maid clean up after me.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Pablo Picasso paint face with two eye on same side of head and women who look like gorilla. Excuse, but I think he need glasses. Why not pretty little cottage in woods with smoke come out of chimney and flower in garden?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Now we see artist name Henri Matisse. He paint pretty pattern and color. I like. But this I wish to know: Why do he paint people with no bones? Here is “The Dance.” Figures flow in circle. Where bones? Is none!</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Frida Kahlo paint many pictures of herself. Make me craze! Why not pluck eyebrow and wax mustache? Instead look like furry teacup. She is marry to heavy man who fool around with other womens. How does she allow this if no diamond?</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Now we come to big flower paintings made by woman who look like old man and dress like nun. Name is Georgia O’Keeffe. This I tell you: flower look like coo-coo. I will buy such a painting for husband. Then when he want to peek at me, I say, Leave me alone. Go look at your painting.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />In room with many strange painting, there is one of woman and man kissing but faces cover with tablecloths. This painting give me idea. Next time husband want to kiss I say, We pretend we are painting call “The Lovers.” Then I do not have to touch him. Also do not have to see him. This painter, name Magritte, is genius!<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Do you ever see three basketball floating in fish tank half full of water? You will see here at MoMA. Floating balls, is no joke. Is art? Look like science project to me. Artist name Jeff Koons. I hope he have day job. Will never get rich with this.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ah, now a picture of melting clock tell me we are out of time.

This you know. But I am thinking will be fun to have Real Housewives show. All the womens in these show have breast implant, botox, nip and tuck, and much makeup. Entire Trump family women perfect for cast.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I invite Ivanka. Also, Kimberly, fiancée of Junior; Lara, wife of Eric; and Tiffany. I do not like any of them, and I am honest to tell you they also do not like me. Maybe also invite Stormy. More drama.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Everyone come to Melan-A-Lago. For taping first episode I tell them Donald change will and I inherit everything. Knifes will come out—and not just to cut tiny pieces of food to nibble. Everybody want Donald money. Tell true, he do not have much anymore, but I get whatever he have. (Plus, of course, my many diamond.) I let them fight over crumbs and Donald is not even dead yet.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Second episode, I will have table set with very much food. They will look, look, look. Of course want to eat but will not to stay slim. I tell them this is special food, no calorie. They will very much eat. Then surprise. I tell them, you eat many thousand of calories. I put marijuana in brownies. Angry and stone will be good combination for TV. Of course martini for lunch, so tipsy also. (Andy Cohen, you are reading this?)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Third episode, I wear all my biggest diamond at once. I want Trump ladies see how many I have, and how big is. They will be very much envy. Then, I introduce them to my pool boy and Secret Service man. Not only I will inherit everything, but have biggest diamond and getting best sex. I know Kimberly very envy, because . . . Junior. (Can you imagine sexing with him?) Or Eric? (Mr. Gummy Face, Barron call him.) Slender Man I do not think even have a Little Man. (If you look close you see do not shave. I think puberty never come for him.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Stormy have so much sex will not care about my hunky men, but I am sure will be jealous when see how many diamond I have and all she get is one check. Maybe I tell Kimberly and Lara that Stormy sex also with Junior and Eric. That will be good show. Many firecrack. Also firecrack when Ivanka tell Donald about my hunky mans. Always she wish to get me in trouble with him.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />So many women in these show end up go to jail for crime like embezzle and tax evade. Trump family perfect for this. Imagine take money from cancer children fund? And I know nobody pay enough tax for money have. Maybe I will tell IRS where to find Ivanka and Jared files. Would be very good episode, don’t you think? I do special episode on how to accessorize orange jumpsuit.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Last episode I wish for Ivanka to tip table so everything on floor like New Jersey housewife do. Very drama! Ivanka try to be so culture, but when forget to use breathy voice talk just like father. Also is cruel just like husband, who evict poor people from housing he own. Underneath ladylike pink dress is vulgar real estate wife.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Finally, reality show that is real! </p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">September 30, 2022</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">I WRITE HAIKU</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I learn the haiku.

Include breathe, stretch, and strength. Is good for health of body and mind. Already I know how to breathe—do not even have to practice— but I will like to be more flexible and strong.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />First I buy best yoga tight and tank, because of course always Be Best. Also I buy yoga mat. Is no gold color for mat. I must accept gray. Very bore.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This is what I learn in first class:<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />First is Tadasana, Mountain Pose. This is standing up.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Next is Uttanasana. This is bending <a href="http://over.so/" style="background-color: inherit; border-bottom: 0.01rem solid; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="http://over.So" style="box-sizing: border-box;">over.</span></a><a href="http://over.so/" style="background-color: inherit; border-bottom: 0.01rem solid; box-sizing: border-box; color: #555555; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="http://over.So" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></a>So far is easy, even if hold pose for long time.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Salute to Sun is more complicate. Up, down, back, forward, down, and up again. Can also do at night, but is still call Salute to Sun. Is not logic, but still, I am learning. We do many time. I am exhaust.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Then is bend back. This I am good at. I bend over back to show American people I am good First Lady and what they do? Make fun of my bloody Christmas tree and make fun of me.I even bend over back in high heel.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Yoga teacher tell me to stop complain, that in yoga I will be fulfill. I hope so.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Now we do Trikonasana. This is Triangle Pose. I have do this before with Pool Boy and Secret Service man together. They call it three way, but same thing. I am twist in two direction at once. Breathe! Breathe! Yoga pose not as exciting. I am more fulfill in cabana.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Last pose for class is call Savasana. In English is call Dead Man pose. I do not like name, but I like pose. Lie down and rest. Also, this is what we do after three-way yoga in cabana.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Even though tired, I feel good. I will continue.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Donald make fun of me for yoga.

But since I am still marry to him, sometimes I must. Coming in November, Tiffany wedding here at Melan-a-Lago.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Daughter everyone forget about is having wedding no one wish to attend.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I am not involve, just hear about. Tiffany marry man who grow up in Nigeria. When Donald hear, he go craze. Say, “No daughter of mine will marry an African.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Tiffany tell him, yes, born and raise in Nigeria but come from Lebanese family. “From Lesbos?! Donald orange face turn face red and hair stand on end, which is very hilarity because mostly it is glue to head. He scream, “No daughter of mine is going to marry a lesbian, even if he’s a man.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Tiffany make face I know very well. Face say, “You are idiot.” Fiancé she explain is not from Lesbos, not lesbian. Lebanese is from Lebanon in Middle East. I see, how you say, wheel churning in Donald head. “Will the children be white?” he ask.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tiffany roll not just eye but entire head. “He is from a billionaire family.” Now Donald interest. I am sure he think how he can get tiny hands on that money. “A billionaire? Then why the hell am I paying for the wedding?” he scream.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Much bustle and hustle already, planning for 500 guest. Tiffany afraid FBI raid again in middle of wedding. (Donald still have many paper hidden here, so is possible. I hope no one call . . .)</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Wedding is plan by Tiffany, Marla, and Donald. Donald say he will pay, but never do. (Stiffing small business is only thing stiff about him. This I know.) I hope florist, photographer, and caterer get paid cash money before do any work.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Save-date announcement already send. Tiffany very upset that Queen Elizabedth die. She have want Queen to attend. (only way for Tiffany to have royal wedding). Very disappoint that King Prince Charles and Queen Camilla say no. Harry and Megan, too. She invite many royal to come, and all say no. Jared suggest his friend, Saudi Prince MBS. Tiffany is pretend princess but even she say, “Prince Bonesaw? No thanks. I’d rather have Rudy Giuliani.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This I know: Donald will not let Rudy be invite. (Afraid Rudy will make a scene with passing gas and running hair dye down face, because Donald still have not paid him.) Also not coming: Bill and Hillary, and Barak and Michelle. (Obamas very nice to me on Inauguration Day when Donald leave me standing in driveway of White House.) I think Tiffany invite, but all say they will have Covid on day of wedding.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />MAGA people wish to come, but many in jail. Tiffany say no to anything MAGA, especially little MAGA hat for wedding favor. She want all wedding favor from Tiffany store. “I mean, like why did you name me Tiffany if you won’t buy my favors from there? My registry is there.“ Tiffany stamp foot and threaten to change name to Sheniqua. Donald start to pee in diaper.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Now I must talk about what I wear. Tiffany engagement ring is 13-carat emerald, so I will wear my many diamond, many more carat than Tiffany little ring. I wear expensive dress of red silk, with big embroider shawl. When bride and groom say “I do,” I wrap shawl around me.

Tell him how smart and good is. Say, “Who is best president? Who is smartest man ever to be in Oval Office? You are! Who had biggest inauguration ever? You did! Who win the 2020 election? You did!” But do not give dog biscuit.

Give her whatever she ask for.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Another anonymouse man write to me in Russian. I have translate. Say, “I had a bitch in my pocket, but then he lost his job. Do I continue to cultivate the relationship or look elsewhere for satisfaction?</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I think you do not talk about sex but about world domination. Since you are sick and will die soon, why not cultivate soul instead. Paint a picture. See a play. World will fall apart even without you.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I give such good advices I think maybe I will run for office once Donald in jail. I change name back to Knavs. If I become Democrat, Trump name will not be help for me.</p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">October 8, 2022<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">MIND MATTER</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I discover new magazine, call <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">Psychology Today.</i> And what coincident, I discover today!</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Donald call me “mental case.” This is because I try to keep distance from him for my own mental health.

Before this I am thinking he is just, how you say, donkey butt, but when I read about what is call “Narcistic Personality Disorder” I say to myself, this is Donald.

Do not pay help.If you can look person in eye while not pay, you will be big success</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">. Do not pay tax. This I learn from husband. If you are arrest, take your case to Supreme Court. (Make sure friend with Clarence Thomas)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />. If you do not know answer to something, make up answer. Call other person liar. This I learn from husband.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">. Here is another way: If you do not know answer to something, say nothing.

In Slovenia family have donkey cart. We take into village to buy grocery. Also we take Babica Knavs, my grandmother, for ride in cart on Sunday. No need for key or lice. Just climb into cart, click tongue, and donkey go.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />When I move to New York City, no need for car. I take subway to model job. Then meet Donald and we take limo everywhere. Now all the sudden I am suppose drive?

To get lice must first get Learner Permit. To get Lerner Permit must study and take test online—in English! Then I must go to DMV to take drive test. This mean I must drive car on street. If do not pass, cannot get lice.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Also this I wish to know: Why lice need for driving?

I tell you here.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">1. Moisurize</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Even before facelift, most important thing is to keep skin moisture. Otherwise look like old glove. Skin care line I develop—no more sold, but I use myself—rich with caviar. Who do not love luxury of fish egg on face? Use the Goggle to find product for you. Not only is good caviar, also avocado or olive oil. But this I tell you from own experience: Do not put face into salad.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">2. Never go out without makeup</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Facial, face lift, and filler make you into person you wish to look like, but no face is perfect. For that reason, after you wake up always put on face foundation, blush, contour, highlight, lashes, brows, lipstick. Body can be naked during day but face never.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Extra tip: Make sure foundation match real face color. I know man with pasty white skin who apply orange to skin. He is butt of many joke. (Also butt is many joke made.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">3. Lie about plastic surgery</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I learn to lie from Donald. Make no difference what photograph show from years before breast implant and face lift. Just say, “Is all natural. I never have work done.” Also good to say, “I go to hospital for procedure on kidney” or “I go on vacation to South of France.” Of course you are at home to recover. Many bandage, black and blue.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">4. Smile when you lie</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Husband do not do this. Always he yell. But I am different. When I say, “’I never have work done,’ I make big smile. This is nature facelift. Also, when show beautiful cap teeth and plump lip, which I say is 100% natural, nobody ask about cheek implant and tight skin on face.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">5. Eat very little</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Of course must not eat too much. Maximum 900 calorie a day. Breakfast is black coffee. Lunch is cube of cheese and two grape. Dinner is small piece of chicken or fish and salad. If food is tasty, too much salt. Salt make bloat, so no salt. You must decide: Do you like skinny or do you like food? Cannot have both.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">6. Drink very much water<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></b>Water have no calorie, so when hungry you can drink it to fill stomach. However, you will very much to pee.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">7. Cheat little bit with fruit</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Sometimes you will be so hungry you wish to kill for food. Eat small cup fruit salad so you get many mix of vitamin. But only one cup. Fruit have calorie! I hear of woman who blow up to 500 pound because she eat one extra cup of fruit.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">8. Exercise to stay tone</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Is not enough to be skinny. Must be skinny with some muscle on bone. Muscle give you shape. Implant can do just so much. So lift light weight, and stretch, stretch, stretch. Also to know: Exercise burn calorie. If you have glass of wine, five hour on exercise bike will burn off. Choice is yours.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">9. Get enough sleep</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Yes, you are sexing all night with hard body lover, but important to sleep afterward. This is why best to quit job so that you can sleep until noon. Is not enough to put face to sleep with moisturizer, you must actually leave awakeness for eight hour. You can live on husband money. This I remind you: Very important for beauty routine to marry wealthy man.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">10.

Every day I think how different be if you are president and Donald continue just to cheat tax in New York (also New Jersey, and Florida). I vote for you even though Republican wife.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I remember when Donald hulk behind you on stage. I ask him why he do. He say, “Putie told me to.” You are right he is puppet. But joke on him now. Putie no more call. Only Nazi man from Hungary, and of course MAGA crazy people. North Korea man with funny haircut no more write love letters.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Also I remember one day on stage during campaign, Secret Service come to protect you from someone. You stand tall, take breath, and keep on to talk. When happen to husband, he crunch down and run off stage.

Also cracker.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This I wish to tell you: I make apartment more modern, less Donald. I get rid of everything gold, so if you will like gold lamp or wall scone--maybe mirror?--or curly chair in style of fancy French king name Louis, I will like you to have. I am sure you do not wish any portrait of Donald, but maybe Renoir of two girls sitting on terrace? Is very expensive and famous picture.

I take my diamond to be appraise, because I am thinking is maybe time to make big move. (I do not get younger. Cannot claim forever age of 39.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />So I bring all my shiny gem in little sack. I hire body guard plus have my Secret Service man. Everything proteck.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Man in store put tiny telescope to eye to see each diamond. In mind I am counting my million. Maybe I will not live in Melania Tower. Instead buy big townhouse on Upper East Side. Very chic and close to shopping. Or maybe Upper West Side, in big apartment overlook Hudson River; is easier to get away to weekend home in New Jersey where parents will live.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Then floor fall out from under me.

I go home and try to think what to do. I am thinking kill. When shock wear off, I call reporter. I do not like to be public—try always to stay out of news—but this is story about Donald Trump again cheating. I do not care when he cheat small company out of pay and make many go bankrupt. But he have cheat me, Melania! I make sure everyone know what he do, but I am embarrass by headline:<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />.

Still, I am now only small rich, not big wealth.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Now I auction everything in Melania Tower apartment and sue big pants off Bloat Boy.

Why I do not know about these diamond before? So much time I waste on sex with BLOATUS when I could collect diamond myself.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I get to Jupiter. I ask where is diamond. Nobody know. I try beach. Expect to find diamond all over sand. Only shell. I look also in park where is many bush. No diamond. Even I look in dumpster behind McDonald. I find only rat. This make me think of Donald. (I am so angry he cheat me with glass I put ExLax in place of chocolate. Now is flushing even more.)</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I am thinking, who would know where is diamond?

Closet is my special place, where I go not just to get dress but to think. Also sometimes to scream.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Today I take you on virtual tour. Please to follow me. We are at doorway of large closet here at Melan-a-Lago. Ten room. Some have window and furniture. Lindsay Graham visit once. He is so jealous. Three Secret Service man have to drag him out crying. Floor still have scuff mark.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />First room is for accessory. I have very much jewelry, scarf, belt, and handbag. Maybe even revolver. If someone try to break into suite, I will be able to proteck myself. (Is terrible if I think someone breaking in and turn out to be husband I shoot.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Second room for lingerie. Is many sexy lace bikini and bra. Ooh la la! These I wear for pool boy and Secret Service lover. For Donald I wear sweat pant. Since “diamond” he give me turn out to be glass, he is lucky to see me in t-shirt and big panty.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Third room for shoe. Everything for feet. Yes, furniture here because I like to put on very high heel then sit and look at them on feet. Hurt to walk in some shoes, but never hurt to sit and look. So many shoe I have, some never wear. I buy because I like. (What you call “fun fact” is Manolo himself wear only comfortable shoe.)</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Next, a few room for dress, mostly for summer since Palm Beach so hot. Many dress so light is almost see-through, but with body like mine is OK. In these room many mirror. Always I like to look at me.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />One room is special for my military style. Yes, is hanging picture of Fidel. Politic I do not care, but style I very much like. If Secret Service lover salute me, something extra for him. But do not call me “jefe.” Sound like I am cow.<i style="box-sizing: border-box;"></i></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Next room for casual clothes. I have big chest for sweater and tank top. Please do not make joke. I am talking about furniture with, how you say, pull-out box where knits are fold.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Down hallway we come to big room with many ball gown. Must have much space so that gown stay full. If press together, too flat. Mostly I wear just one time. I keep to touch. So smooth and shine. When I am growing up in Slovenia, feed sack dress is scratchy rough. I come very long way from poor girl. But maybe soon I take never-again-wear gown to wear-again store.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Now we come to very special place. Behind this door is room for dominatrix Melania. Leather, spandex, even latex. Very tight, very black, very very power. Donald do not know of this room because I do not play this with him. I bring lover here. Now move away or I snap whip.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />One of these room hold safe, but I do not tell you which. I am sad and angry to tell you is now mostly empty since diamond turn out to be glass. But is still very much paper money. Also, some letter and picture I save. I can use when something from Donald I want. Also he do not know but I have copy of Pee Tape. I will use when time come.)</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p>OK tour over.

Today I join army. Salvation Army. I bring many ballgown to Army store.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">After tour of closet, I decide is time to make room for new ballgown and, how you say, donate, beautiful gown I will never again wear. Trump family do not give, only take. But I am from Knavs family, and in Slovenia always we donate. When a girl grow out of dress, she give to smaller girl. In this way, all girl have dress to wear.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I pick Salvation Army because I like that someone always outside of store ringing bell next to giant kettle. Remind me of Slovenia when community make soup of turnip, cabbage, and potato to celebrate harvest and feed entire village.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />When I walk in with many many ballgown, lady behind counter almost faint. She is so happy to see such beautiful dress. “You will make many women very happy,” she say.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />One thing I tell her: I do not donate these beautiful gown so that drag queen can wear and make fun of me, Melania.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />“Oh, hon, not to worry. We hate gay people here,” she say. That is relief.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Is so many clothing inside store. Smell of used. I hold breath. Then I see entire rack of brand-new dress with Ivanka Trump label. Now I know who buy these thing! I take many picture to post on my Facebook page.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />“We have them in all our stores,” sales lady say.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I wish to see Ivanka face when she read what I write: Big bargain at Salvation Army. New Ivanka Trump clothes at tiny price. Is much more where this come from.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />On way back, I get text from Lindsay Graham. He is asking which Salvation Army is gown. I give him wrong address. At least he will have Ivanka clothes to wear.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">November 7, 2022<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">I AM ENGLISH CONFUSE</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I work hard to be good speaker of English. To Be Best. But English is confuse to me.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">First I hear people call Donald “magnate.” Yes, is true thing to stick to him. Like when he eat in bed, which he always do. Sometimes I see him with Cheeto still stuck to behind. But how do anyone else know that? OK, maybe one time I say Donald attract trouble because always he cheat, but I do not call him magnate. Is scientific impossible. This I look up on the Goggle.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />News on TV that in civil suit from New York State, Donald may be arrest and must to make “pup walk.” Donald do not have dog. If do have, he pay someone else to walk. Maybe they put Donald on leash? This I think is good idea. Do also for Ivanka. (For Junior and Eric, kennel is better.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Also, why is called “suit”? Donald suit baggy and blue. Must be big enough to hide diaper. Law suit is just white paper.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">There is more.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I do not understand why I am call “First Lady” when there is many First Lady before me, and now after me. If Donald is 45 president, why I am not “45 Lady”? This make more sense to me. My English not so good, but I can count.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />“FLOTUS” worst word. Sound like trash on water.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Some people still make fun of me for “Be Best.” This I do not understand. Always I try Be Best, even Bester. Is better to “Be Worster?”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Also, I am call “polyglot.” How many times I need to say this is no more true. I stop that when meet Donald and he pay for everything. Why people continue to say that I do not know. Make me angry.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Also, why is expression “blow top” when angry? If my top blow off, I could be accuse of, how you say, indecent exposion. Yes, of course, breasts beautiful—cost very much money and must be maintain—but I do not expose. Tight top is enough. (Pose naked is different. Is art. And only with fur and jewel.)<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Now leave me loan. I mean it, leave me big loan. I need more shoes and already I spend allowance for month.</p></div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">November 9, 2022</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">NO HOT FLASH FOR DONALD</b></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Already I tell you I am English confuse. Now I tell you I am politic confuse. Why is call midnight election? Most people vote during day. Some also vote by mail. So why is midnight election? Do not make sense.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Donald expecting hot flash from voter. Husband always sweat too much, so why he want hot flash I do not understand. He call it Big Red Wave. This I tell you: Most candidate Donald push to win do not win. One TV news person say, “Donald Trump is in the rearview mirror.”<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I think Donald hear same TV because very screaming come from Donald suite. I send Secret Service to check on him. They say to me, “He’s throwing ketchup again.” I tell you where is Big Red Wave. Is in Donald suite. Cleaning staff do not wish anymore to work for him. Too much ketchup, too much toilet clog. Too much Donald.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I watch election while get mani pedi. I do not vote for Marco Rubio, but he win. Also do not vote for Ron DeSanto but he win. I am still register republican, but I vote for Crist. Is not Jesus, but is better than Ron.

People call Donald “political burden” and “biggest loser of election he is not even running in.” He is craze from anger! Still thinking everyone love him but finding out now is not so much true. Wait until DeSanto run for president. I will pop the corn and watch.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Yes, I continue to live at Melan-a-Lago (with many lock on door).

Nobody else from family. Ivanka announce, "This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family."

Undocument immigrant come here from England in tiny flower boat in 1620. Indian already living here. They hope these flower boat people leave soon so they make big dinner to say, “Thank you for coming. Now go away.” First Thanksgiving menu is corn, squash, bean and Butterball turkey.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Since that time, American tradition is to cook turkey. Also to take away Indian land.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />This year, for first time I cook turkey. If you buy frozen, is like rock and must defrost for many day. Important thing is to clean out everything inside. Best to have maid do. If you are poor, put on glove and do it yourself. Then you can stuff with many kind of food. Cookbook say cornbread and chestnut, or sausage and rice, or cheese and something call crouton, or apple and bacon, or cranberry. One strange stuffing resipe suggest oyster. What America is thinking? Will take forever for shell to cook!<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Another strange American resipe is to stuff turkey with duck and then stuff duck with chicken. Is call—I do not make this up—turducken. This is why I am so English confuse.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Mother, Amalija, suggest each of us prepare a turkey with different stuffing. This is like Big British Bakeoff except with dead bird. She choose cabbage and potato. (She choose cabbage and potato for everything.) Father Viktor choose lobster and sausage. He call it “surf and turf.” (I am thinking “clot and stroke.”) Barron stuff his turkey with tofurky (again I am English confuse) and season with what he say is oregano. I think maybe is something else.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We are in big Melan-a-Lago kitchen, singing while we stuff. We sing in Slovenian to thank anchor husband for many nice place to live and very much money to spend. (And very much money to hide.) Also we sing to say we hope he go to jail and we never see him again.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Donald hear singing and come to see what is happen. He say also he wish to stuff turkey. He have special resipe. Stuff with spaghetti. Excuse, I tell you wrong. Is shred document. Even cranberry do not make this good to eat. I tell him, Put ketchup on it and eat it yourself.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Do I mention we also make pie? Baron try something he learn about in school. Is call piecaken. This is turducken of pastry. Is pecan pie, pumpkin pie, spice cake, and apple pie layer together with frosting. Mother say is typical American: too much of everything. She make her specialty, cabbage and potato pie. Father make lemon pie with white fluff on top, name I do not know how to spell. Donald tell father is not manly to make pie, especially one so fluff. Father do not even look up. Say, “Odjebi, ti,” and keep pie making.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Donald demand to know what say father. I translate: ”You will be sorry later when delicious pie all gone.” When Donald leave we all laugh. Really mean “Fuck off.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p>Once all the turkey are stuff and pie in oven, mother say, “Now we plan for Christmas.” Fine, I buy present for everyone, but I wish nothing to do with tree.</div></div><div class="blockSectionContainer horizontalRuleTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><hr style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; width: 544.922px;" /></div><div class="blockSectionContainer textTextBlock" style="background-color: white; border: 1px solid transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.76px; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 690px; min-width: 240px; padding-bottom: 1.3rem; padding-left: 3rem; padding-right: 3rem; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">November 24, 2022<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">WE THANKS</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Four turkey in oven, almost done. Mother is mashing turnip—favorite vegetable of Knavs family. Many delicious pie is cooling. Everybody feeling, how you say, with light in head. Is aroma from Barron tofurkey seasoning. He admit is not oregano. Father so much light in head is dancing around his lemon pie with white fluff.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />I am thankful for American passport for me and for parents.

If you're an artist, studio visits are part of the conversation we have with other artists, with dealers--and, often, with ourselves as we enter the work space with fresh eyes for a new day. The paintings on our walls change as the work progresses. When completed paintings leave for exhibition, new canvases take their place. </span></span></div><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGWlm-GY-CFwfI2f6sWK1Sm9XnJpMfI8wc0xkKAj3FtLFmv_BER32NVs775dUW_XNzWfVwf88SDjCFkJjAZ_zHgu2M7fL-T-XKz-pP2WBUXxP6exMhp8qtDxSec-4-cLDW60bupsyDf0eFSAXKSmO4-StrMUU9ls6B2ZxNdKbSuCwKMKCd5vVbAubbfA/s2596/1.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2328" data-original-width="2596" height="574" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGWlm-GY-CFwfI2f6sWK1Sm9XnJpMfI8wc0xkKAj3FtLFmv_BER32NVs775dUW_XNzWfVwf88SDjCFkJjAZ_zHgu2M7fL-T-XKz-pP2WBUXxP6exMhp8qtDxSec-4-cLDW60bupsyDf0eFSAXKSmO4-StrMUU9ls6B2ZxNdKbSuCwKMKCd5vVbAubbfA/w640-h574/1.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-style: italic;">The Red Studio,</i><i> </i>1911, oil on canvas, <span face="Roboto, arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #4d5156; font-size: 14px;">62 x 83 inches, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div>Matisse's <i>The Red Studio</i>, painted in his suburban Paris studio in 1911, strikes a chord for most artists. We understand the arrangement of works--some orderly, others casual--and we are familiar with that space in the middle where we place ourselves to be surrounded by what we are making or have made. Our studios are not red, of course. But then neither was Matisse's. <p></p><p>"I don't understand why I painted it," he wrote. We understand it. Matisse was ahead of this time, flattening the dimensions of his studio into a roughly five- by-seven-foot canvas, reducing the compositional elements to their barest recognizable elements, and setting those elements into a dramatic monochrome of Venetian Red. The painting was ridiculed, even burned in effigy by art students. Its first home was a mirrored London nightclub.</p><p><i>The Red Studio,</i> now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, is the centerpiece of a delightful exhibition in which many of the objects and paintings depicted in <i>The Red Studio</i> are installed around it.

color on the walls. Within its chromatic embrace, one could see geometry,
reductive rigor, provisional playfulness, bold brushwork, sumptuous surface, sculptural construction, and allover patterning in paint, fiber, wood, and paper. Here’s a look at some
of what I saw. Some of the group and solo shows remain ongoing, while others
have closed.

Of course I hope we have a peaceful and bloodless transition on both counts. However, until President Biden and Vice President Harris take charge, I'm satisfying myself vicariously with the story of Judith and Holofernes.

express through her painting a realm beyond the physical. The exhibition, <i>Agnes
Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist,</i> opened at the Whitney in March as
the country went into lockdown, so for much of the run of the show it was dark.
I saw it in September just as the museum was reopening, when attendance was sparse. Pelton was part of the Transcendentalist Painting Group in Taos, founded in
1938 by Emil Bisttram (1895-1976) and Raymond Jonson (1891-1982). Not
coincidentally the work of the latter two was on exhibition at D. Wigmore Fine
Art, a gem of a gallery on 57th Street that specializes in abstraction and
realism within the Modernist period. This post looks at the work of all three artists. </span></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><i>Agn</i><b><i>es Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist</i> at the Whitney Museum</b></span></h3></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
The Pelton exhibition marks the second major museum show in recent years to feature the
work of a relatively unknown female visionary. In the 2018-2019 season it was
<b><span style="color: #444444;"><i><a href="https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/hilma-af-klint" target="_blank">Hilma af Klint</a>: </i></span></b></span><b style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #444444;"><i><a href="https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/hilma-af-klint" style="font-family: arial;" target="_blank">Paintings for the Future</a></i></span></b><a href="https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/hilma-af-klint" style="font-family: arial;" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #444444;"> </span></b></a><span style="font-family: arial;"> at the Guggenheim. I'd say that Klint’s was the more powerful, with large-scale paintings, many of them complex geometric abstractions owing their creation to her occult studies and
visions. Klint makes us rethink the origins of contemporary abstraction—it was
likely she who soared past representation even before Kandinsky— but
her wish that her work not be shown until 20 years after her death meant that
she would remain largely unknown for decades.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pelton, on the other hand, was an exhibiting artist with
numerous solo and group shows to her credit. She showed regularly in New York
City and had several paintings included in the 1929 Armory Show. Through Theosophy,
Zen Buddhism, and yoga she had been exploring paths to a higher consciousness. Seeking
solitude, she relocated first to the then-unpopulated eastern end of Long
Island (where she lived in a windmill) and
then to the desert near Palm Springs, California, where she could reconcile her
paintings with her longing for and experience of consciousness on a higher
plane. Born in Germany, with a career start in New York City, she nevertheless
found California to be her spiritual home.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">After early realist work,
Pelton settled on forms that are largely biomorphic, often
swirly, with veils of color achieved through glazing. Her iconography depicts vessels,
buds and flowers, stars, flames, circles, and terrestrial landscapes with a
sense of the otherworldly. A few of the paintings are reminiscent of Tantric
drawings. Her palette consists largely of celestial and aqueous blues and a
radiant lightness. </span></p><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">

were handsomely installed, some in dark-walled rooms. The intentionally small number of
visitors and relative quiet heightened the contemplative nature of the work. For
the most part I didn’t connect with Pelton’s deeply personal iconography. To be honest, I found many of the paintings kind of hokey—except
for the sublime painting that opens this post, which I could look at
every day for the rest of my life—but her longing for unity with the divine was powerfully
present in the work.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The artist died in 1961 of liver cancer at the age of 79.
She left behind a large body of work which depicts that longing. Let’s hope she
completed her journey.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Additional info:<br />.The exhibition originated at the Phoenix Art Museum, curated

Here, she underscores their transformative power by picturing them as host to ascending flames, which were central to Agni Yoga, a spiritual discipline based on fire as a metaphor for the powerful yet dematerialized inner force that can guide each individual to higher consciousness. Inspired by her study of the discipline, Pelton included fire imagery in a number of her works to signify the 'Creative fire of the Universe' within herself and others. As she noted in her journal, 'In the fire world I perceived beauty in the Abstract as a living power.'"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXCKmGfFf7fPn7B-29atK2ZyRBBcH7mnwtQjf9puBeBtQr1KKWikLnBZYghOEBaRn_45dfxbmIrFgfNFaPn0nhUIe4Ehg7u4rfeSIGFpY6wPCt7dmC_j-t3Aj523xg6TjU5kbC9K_lend/s768/20.+IMG_4774.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="712" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguXCKmGfFf7fPn7B-29atK2ZyRBBcH7mnwtQjf9puBeBtQr1KKWikLnBZYghOEBaRn_45dfxbmIrFgfNFaPn0nhUIe4Ehg7u4rfeSIGFpY6wPCt7dmC_j-t3Aj523xg6TjU5kbC9K_lend/w594-h640/20.+IMG_4774.jpg" width="594" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Focus,</i> 1951, oil on canvas</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl674d5J-Lv1ndVb36CZcK0pXCnDGnu7jptBaDvPFj9cenXwsaWDJ7sLgeEDanANCx2h-jJP3GCMonyA5ta7YSyHZDsR9j4sls9uTUDLuBpmBbl5NYWrf2WN8RVk7AfgJz6O8naeNGkD6Z/s768/22.+IMG_4814.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="586" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl674d5J-Lv1ndVb36CZcK0pXCnDGnu7jptBaDvPFj9cenXwsaWDJ7sLgeEDanANCx2h-jJP3GCMonyA5ta7YSyHZDsR9j4sls9uTUDLuBpmBbl5NYWrf2WN8RVk7AfgJz6O8naeNGkD6Z/w488-h640/22.+IMG_4814.jpg" width="488" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Messengers,</i> 1932, oil on canvas</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjSiYA_4ORF3zkfkdAlW02acok4t6f9gWIF6CN61I47d6BLxG6F6Tnv9BGzuKH2w-8BdzXUrCQUk2SrlF2LBAjWZiSiNiO720RUMO-1iT-NsUr7uIUBCuhmRY6-HKY-jenTFVLIrREXJvf/s768/16.+IMG_4797.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="670" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjSiYA_4ORF3zkfkdAlW02acok4t6f9gWIF6CN61I47d6BLxG6F6Tnv9BGzuKH2w-8BdzXUrCQUk2SrlF2LBAjWZiSiNiO720RUMO-1iT-NsUr7uIUBCuhmRY6-HKY-jenTFVLIrREXJvf/w558-h640/16.+IMG_4797.jpg" width="558" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Mother of Silence,</i> 1933<br /><br />From the wall text: "<i>Mother of Silence</i> portrays the universe's divine feminine force, or World Mother as it is known in Theosophy. A spiritual movement focused on self-knowledge and encompassing ideas such as karma and reincarnation, Theosophy was developed in the late nineteenth century by Helena Blavatsky, a Russian émigré to the United States. Pelton depicts the figure as a 'Mighty Angel' on a throne of jade, encircled by an ethereal glow. To Pelton, the image was a living presence to which she could turn for guidance.

Like many artists of her generation, she was deeply influenced by Wassily Kandinsky and his 1911 book, <i>Concerning the Spiritual in Art.</i> His theories affirmed her own belief in the inherent spirituality of art, as well as the need to dispense with realism in favor of painting from what the Russian artist called the 'vibrations of the soul.' Like Kandinsky, Pelton believed that art communicates the universal energies of both the seen and the unseen world through color, which functions like 'voice' or 'vibration' filling the viewer's consciousness. In her journal, she described the blue in this picture as an 'emotive color of astral body and astral wave' and the work's pale azure as a 'mystic blue . . . astral and spiritual.'"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">. . . . .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal"></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Art of Raymond Jonson and Emil Bisttram at D.

<p class="MsoNormal">Bisttram and Jonson were at the center of the Transcendental
Painting Group, which they founded in 1938. Pelton joined them when she moved
West. “Join” is probably the wrong word, because while she shared an affinity
with them, she remained in California, although she maintained a correspondence
with the two. <br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The group selected the term ‘transcendental’” to represent
them because of its universal sense of shared values that eschewed such
concepts as religion, politics, fashion, and commercialism in favor of
promoting a sense of the sublime, of connecting to the realm of the spirit.
While likeminded in their philosophies, the group was an eclectic bunch, with
differing painting styles, and not all of them lived in New Mexico the entire
time, although the core group did,” wrote Nancy Zimmerman in a magazine found in
the <a href="https://addisonrowe.art/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Transcendentalists_Archive.pdf " target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #444444;">Transcendentalist Archive</span></b></a> maintained by Addison Rowe Gallery in Santa Fe,
which, like D. Wigmore, retains an inventory of the two artists’ work..<br />
<br />
Both Bisttram and Jonson came to abstraction via realism. By the time they
founded the TSG, “both had progressed to full abstraction for the purpose of
carrying paintings beyond the physical world through new concepts of space,
color, light, and design,” writes Deedee Wigmore in her essay for the show. The
exhibition of paintings by Bisttram and Jonson at Wigmore are, like Pelton’s,
modestly scaled. To generalize, Bisttram, who worked in encaustic with a very
light hand, focused on hard-edge geometric forms, while Jonson crosshatched
with a fine brush in oil to achieve a uniquely textured surface for his curvilinear
compositions. For work on paper he sometimes used watercolor with an airbrush to
emphasize the softness of his shapes.</p><p class="MsoNormal">

Don't ask me how. The White House is mortified that these pages have come into my hands. If I tell you any more, they will kill me. You know how the president gets when he's hopped up on Adderall, meth, and ego. So let's keep this between us. I'll keep posting until the election, or until the inspiration runs out. Scroll down for the newest entries.</span></h1><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">September 28<br /><b>DONNY MUSES</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">People who can't buy food or pay rent think they have
problems? Please. I owe $421 million dollars, my laundry business is about to
be exposed, not one European leader likes me (except my daddy, Putin, and I'm
worried that I'm in for a Polonium Cocktail once I'm no longer of use to him)
and most of the world--including the shithole countries--think I'm hitler.
Everyone who has worked for me has written a tell-all book that says I'm a
moron--no, a fucking moron. No, a lying, grifting moron. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My golf score sucks, even though I cheat. My sons are
idiots. My third wife (the nude model who came over on a genius visa) sleeps in
a separate bedroom. Ivanka keeps reminding me that she's my daughter not my
girlfriend except when she needs another Chinese tariff exemption for her
handbag business. Stormy said I have a micro penis (which I do, but did she
have to tell everyone?). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I have to wear depends, and I hate when it gets all squishy
and I can't get changed. The mask messes up my face makeup. I can't do a thing
with my hair even though I've spent $70k of tax money on styling. Also, if I
don't get elected, the repugnican Senate will desert me and I will go to jail.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> <br /></o:p>September 29<br /><b>PREPARING FOR THE DEBATE</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I am getting ready for tonight's debate. My makeup was sprayed on first thing
in the morning (after I tweeted for four hours while sitting on the toilet), so
that's done. The hair is going to get styled just before I go on (the stylist
charges $900, but I don't have to pay her even though I claim it as an
expense). Shall I wear the blue suit or the blue suit? Or maybe the blue suit?
I will wear the longest tie I have. They always make me feel like my penis is
longer. (Take that, Stormy!). They're putting new batteries into Melania, so
she'll be there looking more attentive than usual. She's even getting a smile
chip so that she'll keep smiling at me even after I turn around.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I hear that Joe is preparing for this thing. What a loser! I
have a gigantic brain. I don't need to prepare. I've found that hulking is
usually a good strategic move. Hillary was unflappable, but maybe I can make
Joe nervous enough to stutter. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Putie just sent me a good luck email. "Break both
legs," it said. He owns, er, loves me.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p> . . . . .<br /></o:p> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">September 29<br /><b>A POST-DEBATE UPDATE</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Well, I DOMINATED! Putie told me to talk loud and keep all
the attention on me, and that's what I did. I was great if I say so myself. OK,
so Biden called me a racist and a clown--he even said, "Shut up,
man!"--but I just kept talking. I'm not even sure what I said, but I loved
the lights and attention. I am Donald, hear me ROAR!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And my hair looked fantastic. I breathed in some hair spray
when the stylist was working on it and got a buzz. OK, I sprayed the stuff
right up my nose. That high was better than the Adderall. But I took that, too.
I was really on. I felt twitchy, but I don't think anyone could tell. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I leaked a little into my diaper when Chris Wallace asked me
to speak out against white supremacy. Well, how could I do that? He might as
well have asked me to refudiate white hoods and robes. I mean, those are my
supporters. (They love me.) The Proud Boys are pissed because I told them to
stand by. Still, they sent me a bouquet. Well, not so much a bouquet as a
flower box with an arrangement of dead rats, but it's the thought that counts.
There's good on both sides. Especially theirs. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I got a little nervous about the tax issue, but deflect,
deflect, deflect is my motto. I said I paid millions. (Ha! Millions of
nothing.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My one weak spot was on Covid. I'll never admit it, but I
totally fucked up on that one. And it's so unlike me to fuck up. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">All in all, I think I'm on track to be Emperor for Life. I
mean, a second-term president. OK, dear diary, I've got to go tweet. I'm sure
everyone is saying how well I did, and I want to read every comment. But first
I need another hit of that hair spray. Where's the AquaNet?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">September 30<br /><b>THE DAY AFTER THE DEBATE</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I was on fire last night. Really. I lied so much my pants
are singed—and they are supposed to be fireproof. Fortunately the doody in my
diaper protected my butt. This was not how I wanted to cover my ass—for that I
usually rely on the Attorney General—but when you’re on the debate stage and
you have to go, the last thing you want to do is leak. So you go in a diaper. I
use the executive version with gold trim. I think they’re very presidential. I
asked Melania, “Do these gold-trimmed diapers make me look presidential?” She
didn’t say much, just, “Depends.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks to the Adderall I was so energetic I could have gone
for another couple of hours. (The hairspray was just a quick high.) Don Lemon,
the little weasel on CNN, called me “hopped up.” And the girls on MSNBC laughed
at me. I’d arrest Rachel Maddow but I’m afraid of her. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Joe really pissed me off. He told me to shut up. Me, the
emperor, er, president! I told Joe he had a working-class education. If he’d
had someone take his SATs for him like I did, he could have gotten into Penn.
It doesn’t cost anything. I mean, I never saw a bill the entire time I was
there. You know what else I hate about Joe? He’s slim and looks good in a suit.
And since he doesn’t wear a long tie, I’m assuming he’s comfortable with
what’s, you know, behind the tie down there. Jill seems to like him. Excuse me:
DR. Jill. Talk about flaunting a degree. My wife and daughter wife got their degrees
in larger breasts, but do they flaunt them? OK, never mind. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">When the debate was over the Cleveland Clinic tried to
detain me citing mental issues. They said I have a “tenuous grasp of the
truth.” That’s a lie. I grasp everything I can get my hands on: pussy, money,
Ivanka. Billy Barr made them release me. He said he would detain them. The
chief doctor laughed. She said, “Detain what? We’re already here.” What a
bitch! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Anyway, back to me. I was so bold last night I thought for
sure that Melania would (finally) sleep with me again. But by the time I got
home, removed my makeup, netted up my hair, and put on a clean presidential
diaper, she was in her room with the door locked. Does she really need a secret
service guy to stand guard outside that door all night? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I haven’t heard a word from Putie since the debate. Must be
the time difference. I mean, I did everything he told me to do, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">October 1<br /><b>DEBATE BLOWBACK</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I am getting just a little bit tired of the blowback from the debate—which I
won. I have been called Twitler and now Shitler. And Michael Keaton, the worst
Batman ever, said I didn’t have a plan. He says it like it’s an insult. Well,
it works for me. That’s how I run the country. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Stormy said the debate was the worst thing she’d ever
experienced since the time we did it. On Facebook I saw that someone covered my
side of the TV with a towel. And it wasn’t even a towel from a Trump Hotel,
which are the best towels. (Plush. Very plush.) I was bold, brilliant, and
beautiful. When I asked Ivanka about my performance, she just said, “Oh Daddy.”
(She’d be dating me if I weren’t her father. ) Melania said I was a bully, so I
removed her batteries. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And my hair looked the best ever. Completely natural.
Everyone said so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I want to say this: Joe started it. He’s the bully. He
laughed at me. Did he call me stupid? I thought I heard him say that. He
definitely called me a clown. He tried to make me feel small. Well, there is
nothing small about me. I have the largest hands and the largest penis, as well
as the biggest brain. Also, the largest diapers. They are trimmed in 24-carat presidential
gold, just like the faucets in Trump Tower. I wish I was back there right now
looking down on everyone instead of sitting on a regular porcelain toilet here
in the White House. But my base loves me. And I’m not talking about the ones I
pay to stand behind me with signs. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I read on social media that people want a kill switch for
the mic so that I can’t interrupt. Others want a kill switch, period. That is
just mean. You’d think I was tear gassing people. Or putting them in cages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">But I have some loyal fans, this I will tell you. The Proud
Boys are standing by with a selection of badges, t-shirts, and mugs. And David
Duke sent me a gold-plated hood. He knows how much I love the hoods. And, of
course, the gold. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">But I haven’t heard a word from Putie since my brilliant
performance. What does polonium taste like? I’m going to have Tiffany test my
food before I eat it. Melania suggested I just prepare my own meals. One more
comment like that and I’m going to sell that little robot for parts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Covid? Me? I’m going to ignore it. It will be gone, like a
miracle. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Today I want to talk about prizes. I am noble. Everyone says
so. Therefore I think I should win the Noble Prize. Ivanka, my daughter wife,
will accompany me to Norway. Or is it Sweden? Or Denmark? I forget. I like the
Danish pastry, though. I also like the Swedish meatballs and the leggy
blondes—especially the leggy blondes, that I can tell you. Ivanka is a leggy
blond, but she’s not Swedish. Actually she’s not blond, either—the carpet
doesn’t match the drapes—which I know because I “accidentally” walked on her once
when she was a teenager. Well, OK, at least four dozen times. Oops. (I did that
at the Miss Pubescent Teenage Universe Galaxy contest, too. Which I own, so I
can do that.) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The important thing is that being so noble, I should get the
prize. Obama got one, and he isn’t noble. He isn’t even white. (And let’s
not even discuss the birth certificate, which he showed, and Hawaii showed, but
I still don’t believe. So he had a white American mother. Big deal. He’s still
Kenyan.) <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">On the subject of prizes, Amy Coney Barrett is a Rhodes
Scholar. You know who else is a Rhodes <br />
Scholar? Rachel Maddow (what a dyke!), Pete Buttigieg (what a fag!), Cory
Booker (what a negro!), Susan Rice (I’m more afraid of her than I am of
Maddow), and Bill Clinton (President Blow Job, I call him). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Oh, wait, my bad, as Blondie, my press secretary, said.
Barrett was a student at Rhodes College in Tennessee. Well, that makes her a
Rhodes scholar in my book. Wikipedia says that “Students at Rhodes College are
in an ideal location for experiential learning and extracurricular fun.” At
first I thought it said “experimental” learning. That’s what I did at Wharton,
where one of my professors called me “the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” I
don’t know what “experiential learning” is, but I’ll bet that Barrett was tons
of extracurricular fun—member of the Jesus Prayer Group, member of the Holy
Ghost Ouija Society (“holy ghost,” ha ha, Happy Halloween!), the Student
Anti-Abortion Coordinating Committee (their logo was a dismembered fetus, which
doesn’t look all that human to me, but hey, the anti-choice thing is working
for my base), and a special private club called The Handmaidens. (The robes are
a bit much. They should show more cleavage.) Then she graduated to a secret
Catholic group called Children of the Corn. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Anyway, her husband gave her permission to be on the Supreme
Court, and that’s good enough for me. The National Republican Senatorial
Committee has already had t-shirts made saying “The Spurious A.C.B.” I hope
Ginsburg is furious. Brett Cavanaugh is furious, too. He never got a t-shirt.
But “Drunken Frat Rapist Who Likes Beer and Was Reduced to Tears by Kamala
Harris at His Hearing” is just too many words for a t-shirt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Speaking of too many words, I have reached my limit. It
hurts when I think. Everyone says so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, something positive for me in 2020. But why did it
have to be Covid? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Now I’m in the hospital. I wanted to be sequestered with
Ivanka for two weeks, but she said no. Then I asked Hope Hicks. She’s like a
daughter to me, and you know what that means. Usually I prefer blondes (except
for that horse face, Ann Coulter), but Hope turns me on. The long brown hair!
The aviator glasses! Cashmere and flannel. Doesn’t she look like a Ralph Lauren
model? I may be sick, but my tiny is getting chubby just thinking about her. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Melania put her foot down on Hope. And when she puts her
foot down in those high heels, she could drill a hole through your instep. Mrs.
Robot is quarantined at the White House. She has been mad at me ever since I
won the election—which I won bigly, by the way—and she got stuck designing the
Christmas decorations. Even I thought those blood red trees were too much, and
you know my taste for the garish is bottomless. (Ha, bottomless. My tiny is
getting chubby again.) She has not let me near her since I had my little
interlude with Stormy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">But give me an iPhone and a toilet and I’ll make the best of
it. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">This Covid is not my fault. I blame Connie Chung. She’s
Chinese. I blame Hillary. She should have known about Covid in December and
done something it. But no, she was busy running that pedophile ring out of the
basement of that pizza place in Seattle. I blame Obama. (I blame him for all
the things I haven’t been able to do which is pretty much everything, that I
can tell you.) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The evangelicals are chanting “Jesus is your vaccine.”
(Buncha dopes. But they’re dopes with votes.) What happened to the x-ray doctor
I’ve been touting? The voodoo bleach lady? They are nowhere to be found. Now I
have to depend on science and actual medicine. My base will be furious! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">At least I don’t have to do any more debates. I don’t like
to admit this, but I yell and interrupt when I am scared. If Mike catches it,
NANCY PELOSI WILL BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I’M NOT FEELING VERY WELL! WHERE’S THE BLEACH? WHERE’S THE
VENTILATOR? GET ME THE UV LIGHT! <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Melania and I have been talking about what would happen if
we die from Covid. Here’s what we have decided so far: Trump Tower will be
turned into the Trump Family Mausoleum. Our apartment will be the inner
sanctum. It already has the marble floors, the ceiling frescoes, the crystal chandeliers,
the posh furnishings, and the Renoirs. It will be a classy memorial to us. Very
classy. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">(Some people have said the Renoirs are fake. Wrong! These
are the same people who have said my hair looks like straw and Melania’s
cheekbones are implants like her breasts. Liberal media lies!)<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Melania wants to be taxidermied and displayed naked on a fur
rug in the living room, like those photos she took when she was a model. I
think this is a very great idea. Since she already looks like she’s
taxidermied, she will look lifelike forever. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I want to be gilded. I’m not sure how this will work,
because I also want to be bronzed. Behind me will be the eight-foot portrait of
me in my tennis whites—the painting I commissioned with the money I took from
the Trump Cancer Charity for Children. I am also instructing that a marble
statue of me be placed in the lobby. I’m thinking something like the David, but
with a much larger penis. Is that Italian guy, Angelo, available? I want
monumental, something that Andrew Cuomo will have to look up to. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The boys want my money, that I will tell you, so we have to
be clear in our wills. I trust Ivanka to execute the arrangements, because she
and Jared have made so much money while in the White House that they don’t need
any of mine. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I am leaving everything to charity. (Ha ha, that’s a joke.
We take from charities, we don’t give to them.) Each of the three boys gets an
equal share of Mar-a-Lago and the golf courses (plus the debt that comes with
each one). They’re going to have to share. Don Jr. will go ballistic. He has
always wanted to be my favorite son. They’re going to have to pay taxes on
everything, too. The IRS will love them. Putie will get any money the IRS
doesn’t seize. I mean, it was all his anyway. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Oh, I forgot Tiffany. I always forget Tiffany. Why start
remembering her now? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My niece Mary sent us a heard-you-were-sick card. She
suggested that we leave our blankets to Mitch McConnell, Steven Miller, and
Billy Barr. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I see that it’s time for the UV light to go up my butt. I
kind of like it. Makes my tiny a little bit chubby.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />October 5<br /><b>FEVER DREAM</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">That little joyride really wiped me out. I was needing a
little attention—I don’t get much from Melania, I will tell you that—but I
think I overdid it. When I returned to my bed I passed out.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I felt myself fall through a tunnel of light—not UV light,
like the one that went up my butt, but a giant floaty tunnel of soft white
rays. My dad, Fred Sr., met me at a big pearly gate. “Welcome, son,” he said,
pulling me close and putting his arms around me. It was the first time he’d
ever done that. Jeez, I had to die for a hug? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Putie was there, too. He was bare chested, like always,
riding a big white stallion, and I must admit that my tiny got a bit chubby
just looking at his smooth, muscular skin. He let us in. Heaven was all shiny
and silvery, but too tasteful for me. No gold. No fountains. I prefer showy,
like Mar-a-Lago. What’s eternity without glitz? But I was with my dad. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Did you know that heaven has neighborhoods? Fred took me
over to the Queens part of heaven, where I saw our apartment buildings. They
were cleaner and more beautiful than I remember, sparkling, with only white
people living in them, like when we owned them. Ah, this part of heaven really
is Heaven! I mean, I wouldn’t live in an apartment like that if you paid me,
but I liked that they were all white and that I was with my dad. I was just
starting to feel like the person I always wanted to be. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then everything changed. A powerful black woman with the
largest afro I have ever seen came over to us. Who is this bitch, I though.
Definitely not a 10. Somehow she read my thoughts. “I am beyond numbers, you
fool. I am god,” she bellowed. “And you three are in the wrong place.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Suddenly Fred pushed me away and called me “a worthless
little shit.” Putie grew fangs and kept saying, “Drink the polonium. Drink the
polonium.” I was back in the tunnel, falling, falling. It was dark and hot. I
kept going down. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">When I came to there was fire all around. It was hot as
hell. That’s when I realized where I was. I saw myself in a mirror wearing
flaming red robes. But it wasn’t a mirror. The devil looked just like me.
Melania was there, taxidermied, her face in a squinty grimace. Everyone in my
life was there, all of them taxidermied with their faces in squinty grimaces.
Except for Eric, whose gummy grin and eyebrowless forehead were exactly the
same as in life. My dad started chanting, “You are a worthless shit!” Then mom,
Mary, joined in. Ivana, Marla, Melania, Tiffany, Baron, Jared, Stormy, even
Ivanka, kept chanting, “Worthless shit! Worthless shit!” I heard Michael Cohen
laughing behind me. All the generals I fired or who quit were there with him
chanting “Worthless shit! Worthless shit!.” Kellyanne Conway, Billy Barr, Steve
Mnuchin, Mike Pompeo, and Mitch McConnell were there, too, stuffed and grimacing
and pointing their fingers at me. “Worthless shit! Worthless shit!.” (That
Billy Barr needed a lot of stuffing.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Don Jr. was the only one who was not taxidermied. He ran
over to hug me. “Dad, Dad, you’re everything to me!” I pushed him away. “You’re
a worthless shit,” I said. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Know who I didn’t see? Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and Schumer.
“Where’s Sleepy Joe and the others?” I asked. They answered in unison as if
from a higher place. “We’re running the country, you worthless shit. Covid is
gone, the Proud Boys are humbled, and we’ve restored Democracy.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I shrieked and screamed: Nooooooooo! Not Democracy! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then I woke up to a dozen doctors leaning over me. “The
fever has broken,” one of them said. I got another shot of bleach and felt well
enough to write down this dream.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I know you think I’m going to say that having seen the light
I’ve, well, seen the light. But I haven’t. Now get me a handicapped person to
make fun of.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />October 6<br /><b>FAMILY MATTERS</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">This Corona Virus has made me think about family. Normally I don’t pay
attention to my children. They’re just there and I give them money, but I
realize they could get sick and I could lose them. Then who would do my dirty
work? (Besides Michael Cohen, who I never trusted, plus he went to jail. What a
loser.) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ivanka is more than a daughter to me. Well, in my fantasies,
anyway. She’s the smartest of all four, or is it five, of my children. I have
said many times that I’d be dating her if she weren’t my daughter. But she went
to Jared. (A little joke. She always goes to Bulgari.) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I put up with Jared even though he shares Ivanka’s bed
because he’s my unofficial Secretary of State. He’s even buddies with the Saudi
head of state who prances around in robes like he’s a king or something. (That
guy is ruthless. He had a journalist killed and dismembered for saying bad
things about him. Hmm, maybe I should take a page from <i>his</i> journal.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Jared can be just as ruthless. His real estate company in Baltimore evicted a single mother who was dying of cancer. He also billed a woman for repairs to an apartment that had mold growing on the ceiling and maggots coming out of the rug. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Even Fred Sr. wasn’t that ruthless, although he did send in goons to scare
people who wouldn’t move out of his properties. Oh, wait, I did that.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Don Jr. has tried everything to win my affection, but he’s just a needy jerk. Needy. I
hate needy. And I have no patience with jerks, that I can tell you. I keep him
around, though, because he’ll do anything for me. I could ask him to shoot
someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he’d do it. He left his wife and five
children for Kimberly Guilfoyle. Now her, I like. Sure, she looks like the
love child of Leona Helmsley and The Joker, but she’s my kind of gal. Not to
sleep with—as I say, she looks creepy, plus she’s half Puerto Rican—but she’s
been sued for sexual harassment and I get that. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Eric was a cute kid, but his gums developed faster than the
rest of him, and, well, you can see what happened. He’s married to Lara who is
a senior adviser at the White House. Keep the power and the money in the
family, I always say.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I don’t know if Tiffany is married or if she has any kids. I don’t give her
that much attention. And I certainly don’t give her much money, so Tiffany definitely
goes to Jared. She’s going to have to marry rich, that I can tell you. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And, Baron, I almost forgot about him. I’m told he has a
Slovenian accent like his mother. I knew that would happen because she gave him to her parents to raise. They have an apartment in Trump Tower. That's some high-priced babysitting. High priced, believe me.<br /><br />
Speaking of Melania’s parents, her father looks just like me. He’s the same
age, too. Some people say that’s Freudian, but why would she want to sleep with
her father? He has no money.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /> </span></p>

<br />
Dear Donald Journal,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Today I write for Donald. I am still sick but feeling well enough to write on my
gold laptop in my bedroom at White House where I am quarantine. If I were in
New York, I would be in gold-trim bed with satin sheets in gold-trim room
in gold-fill apartment. I go back there soon and change locks before he get home.
(If he die, apartment is mine, but I change locks anyway because Ivanka will
try to take it over, like she did in East Wing.) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">My mother has come to cook for me, just as when I was little. Nothing
make me feel better than nice bowl of <span style="background: white; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Žganci with cabbage and sour milk. </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I</span><span style="background: white; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"> never eat too much because Donald want I stay slim. So stupid it is
because I have not let him touch me since affair with Stormy, but he want
people to think he still fucking a super model. <br />
<br />
Yes, I say fucking. It was first English word I learn when I get here. I am not
actually genius, even though I have genius visa, but I am smart enough to get
into country, have a nice place to live, have anchor baby, and bring my parents over. No cage for us! Also, I was never super model,
just pretty girl from Slovenia willing to do soft porn.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
<br />
Maybe this year I skip the fucking Christmas decorations. To outdo blood red
trees from last year, I will have to make them explode, and already I hear
enough bad things about Rose Garden. I just want to go shopping and have
affair. But I tell myself that when I am widow I will have plenty of time to shop
and have sex. Also, I would also like to be contestant on “Dancing with Stars.”
I have learned enough about cheating scores to win for sure. <br />
<br />
I will delete this before Donald read it. Instead I will say how smart and
powerful he is, that he really knows how to satisfy woman. And world respect
him—bigly, as he say. If Donald happy, he stay away from me. <br />
<br />
I do like to be writing, though. When I leave White House, I hope in January if not sooner, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will write memoir. I think of perfect title. I call it
“Becoming.”</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">. . . . .<br /><br />

</span><b>GATHERING STORM</b><br />
<br />
Ah, jeez. You fuck a guy a few times and then you get sucked into his
sturm und drang. Who knew that when we met at a celebrity golf tournament in
Tahoe our paths would not only cross but intertwine? I liked his power. He liked
my breasts. But I got bored once I realized he’d never put me on “The
Apprentice” like he promised. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Did you know that Sturm und Drang was going to be my stage
name? I even had cards printed, but my manager said it sounded too much like a
comedy team so we went with Stormy instead.<br />
<br />
Since Donny is still fighting off the “hoax,” as he calls it, I
thought I would try my hand at journal writing. Won’t he be surprised to see me
in here! (Melania, too, in case she peeks. Hey, Mel, "porn hooker" here. How's your prenup?) All I can say is that I’m glad I had that little interlude with him
well before this pandemic. I have caught a lot of things in this business but
Covid is not one of them, and I’d like to keep it that way. (Let me tell
you, giving a blowjob on camera with a mask on is not easy.) Anyway, “little” is the operative word with
Donny. I told reporters he has a little mushroom. I was being kind. Really, it
was more like an acorn. A tiny, stunted acorn. It’s no wonder he
overcompensates in everything else. <br />
<br />
Normally, I don’t care about penis size. I mean, after the pounding I take in
front of the camera, in my personal life I prefer a man who’s not so well
endowed. It’s the motion of the ocean, not the size of the wave, I always say.
But he is fixated on being known as the biggest and the best. The $130,000 he
paid me was not to keep quiet about the sex, it was to say what a
large power tool he has and how expertly he uses it. You’d think he
was the star of ”This Old House”—not the PBS show, the movie I did in which a
carpenter arrives to fix my back porch and ends up making a service entrance. (And you thought I was going to make
a joke about studs and getting nailed.)<br />
<br />
I like this journal writing. I think I will write a memoir of my own. I’m going to call it
“Coming.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /><br />
<br />
October 10<br /><b style="color: #2b273c;">DON'T CRY FOR ME</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">As I was leaving the hospital, I heard several of the doctors say, “What an asshole.” I wondered what proctologists were doing in the ICU, but not my concern. I just wanted to get out of there. A Presidential Motorcade took me back to the White House. I love a parade. I’m just sorry we didn’t have tanks leading the way.<br /><br />Before I went into the Presidential quarters I paused on the balcony to show myself to the handful of people who had gathered. I mean, the enormous crowd waiting for a glimpse of me. Some jerk from CNN called me “Covita.” I got the reference, even though Broadway is for fags. The truth is I am much more powerful than Juan Peron ever was. Besides, I was channeling my brother from another country, Benito. When it comes to power and showmanship, Mussolini is my man. He could work a balcony like nobody's business. Melita, I mean Melania, was in bed in her room recovering. She keeps her distance. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I barely made it to my own bed I was so out of breath. When I was napping in the Presidential quarters, the giant disembodied head of Dr. Fauci appeared to me. It came right up close and whispered, “I told you so.” (Well, more like “Oi told you so.” That Brooklyn accent is nothing like my perfect Queens English.) Then Dr. Birx wrapped one of her scarves around my face so tight I could hardly breathe. I woke up gasping for air. <br /><br />The medical staff at the White House gave me more meth, or whatever it’s called, and I felt better. In fact I haven’t felt this good in 40 years. I feel pretty, oh so pretty. Sorry, wrong musical. I just need a little. . . more . . . air.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The doctors think I might need a lung replacement so that I can breathe better. Do you know that my new lungs will come from another person? I told them: no women, no blacks, no Jews, no Mexicans, no queers. I want lungs from a straight white male, preferably good looking. If not, they can take them from Don Jr. He always says he’d do anything for me. He can have Eric’s. I want the new lungs monogrammed with “45,” like my shirt cuffs, and trimmed in gold. Can they do that?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hope says I should tell my supporters that Covid is not a hoax, and that everyone should be wearing masks and socially distancing. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">What a comedian!</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Tell my supporters to wear masks? My base would desert me like rats from a sinking ship. (Not that I’m a sinking ship. I float. I’m the best floater, believe me.) </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In between tweets I’m watching <i>Weekend at Bernie’s </i>on my phone. Hilarious. I love the premise. <br /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Now what the hell is this? I find everyone has been writing in my journal. Who’s next, Kellyanne? The Lincoln Project? Get off my lawn!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /><br /><br />October 11<br /></span><b><span style="font-family: arial;">AMY’S SUPREME DILEMMA</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My Dearest President, <br />
<br />
I am writing in your journal so that you, and only you, will see this. I have a
problem from which I cannot recuse myself. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">You are getting an antibody drug to treat your Covid virus. I am grateful to
heaven that you are feeling better. But the medicines that have given you a
miraculous recovery were made using embryonic stem cells. I believe that life begins at fertilization. I understand you feel the
same way. If you take a medicine that uses the
stems cells which come from aborted fetuses, are you not a murderer? How can you have been sent by God to lead us if you are
willing to accept so many teeny tiny deaths? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Please pray with me as I try to resolve this dilemma.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">If I say nothing, I can be confirmed to the Supreme Court and
go on to deny women agency over their own bodies and help roll back all the advances
they have made—fair pay, the right to own property, the right
to vote, even the right to hold office—all the better for them to serve their
husbands. I
may even be able to bring burkas to our country. I know you agree that the sooner we can return to the Middle Ages, the sooner Jesus will return to us. And, of course, I will be in a
position, along with Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh, to eliminate LBJFK rights,
including gay marriage. Queers, eww.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">But if I don’t speak out against your murderous hypocrisy, I will forever be
marked with the stain of hypocrisy on my own soul. Even worse, I will lose
the respect of my religious family, Children of the Corn. I will never again be
able to look Father Cob and Mother Maize squarely in the eye and tell them that
I have been a good Handmaid.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Either way I am fucked. Oh, Jesus lord, forgive me! I mean, <i>fornicated.</i>
(As the teachings tell us, fornication is permitted by god—indeed, it is holy
and blessed—only if between a man and a woman, and only if they are married to
each other and wish to procreate).<br />
<br />
I asked my husband to tell me what to do
but he said, “Kiddo, you’re on your own with this one.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Dear lord, I am spiritually adrift! I do not know how to
make a decision without the guidance of a man.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since I mentioned my husband, perhaps you can help me with another dilemma, Mr.
President. Recently when he and I were procreating, he yelled out “Stormy!” a
number of times. I jumped up to close the window so that he would not catch a
chill, but there was not even a hint of bad weather. What do you suppose he
meant?<br />
<br />
I remain yours faithfully in the Holy Kingdom of the United States,<br />
<br />
Amy<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><span>October 12<br /></span><b>DEBATABLE<br /></b><br />So after that debate between me and Sleepy Joe—the one I won
bigly because I wouldn’t stop interrupting—the Commission on Presidential
Debates said the next contest will take place virtually to “protect the health
and safety of all involved.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Just because I was infectious
they went and changed the format? </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Wrong!</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">I
will not waste my time on virtual. What if the moderator presses the mute
button when I start ranting? I want to be heard. If I can’t sound like a lunatic at the podium, what’s the point
of debating? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And what is this Town Hall idea they've come up with? I have
to take questions from regular people? From peons? Forget it. (You know what
Steven Miller says about peons: Piss on 'em. That's the Trickle Down
theory in action.) </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">My 27<sup>th</sup> campaign manager—not Brad Parscale, who
just got arrested for threatening to shoot his wife and then the cops; not Cory
Lewandowski, who assaulted a reporter and also beat up his wife; not Steve
Bannon, who was arrested on federal fraud charges; not Paul Manafort, who was
convicted for witness tampering, bank and tax fraud, and conspiracy against the
United States; not Rick Gates, who worked with Manafort and was also charged
with financial crimes and conspiracy—Bill Stepien, the new one (who has not yet
been arrested), says it is “pathetic” for the Commission to have changed the
format. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Stepien called the Commission members “swamp creatures.” I
like this guy. (Well, until he comes out with his book and calls me a moron. Then
I will say, “Bill who?”) He has urged the swamp creatures to postpone the rest
of the debates until after the election. This I like.<br /><br />And good news on the election: I have just been endorsed by the Taliban. I've already got the support of the KKK. If I can get the Mafia behind me, I'll have a trifecta of oppression, racism, and grift. This is unpresidented! Take that, Obama.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the meantime I will hold a series of rallies. Why share the debate stage with Joe when I can have entire audiences to myself? Bus 'em in. Pay them $150 each. They'll all wear the same t-shirts, great for the photos. No masks! No
distance! I feel most powerful when I am spewing slurs, lies, and germs. <span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I am a super
spreader—the best, that I can tell you—and I want it to remain that way. <br /><br />This
will be my legacy: Donald John Trump personally infected not only everyone in
the White House but the entire United States. It is a great legacy, believe me.
I just hope I live long enough to enjoy it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />October 13<br /><b>RETURN OF THE FLY</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I get around. Before I landed on Mike Pence’s head at that debate in Utah, I was
at a vacuum cleaner store in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It’s amazing what you see
from the wall and, equally important, what you hear. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the basement of the store a bunch of white guys were
sitting around fondling their guns and talking civil war. They were planning to
shoot up the state legislature and take hostages. They even planned to kidnap the
Governor and put her on “trial.” Maybe kill her. Now, I buzz around fecal matter all day,
but these guys were so disgusting that even I wouldn’t land on them. They’d
clearly been reading too many Trump tweets. (Yes, I have an account.) <br />
<br />
“Liberate Michigan,” the president tweeted not too long ago. Liberate Michigan
from what? Intelligence? Decency? Masks? Yeah, Covid for everyone! Even I’m
afraid of that shit. <br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">At one point I was spotted and one of them tried to blast me
with Raid. But karma being what it is, turns out the raid was on them. The FBI had
been following their every move with bugs of their own. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">You notice that these domestic terrorists men are all white, and
the ones most proud of their “white supremacy” are the ugliest, stupidest, most
out-of-shape people on the planet. And get this: The guy who hosted the event
was living in the store basement unbeknownst to his boss. That’s even lower
than living in your mom’s basement. Maybe the only thing lower would be living
in the crawl space under your neighbor’s trailer.<br />
<br />
Back in May President Trump tweeted that militia guys like these are “very good
people, but they are angry.” Well I’d be angry, too, if I had to live in a
basement under a vacuum cleaner store. Talk about sucking big time. But whose
fault is that? If they have enough money for guns and ammo, they could have
used it to rent an apartment instead. Maybe clean themselves up a little. (What
is it with these militia types and their beards? I could lay eggs in them, but
I wouldn’t want any of those yahoos to be my Baby Daddy.) "Good people?" I don't think so.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
So you understand why I had to wing it to Salt Lake City for the debate. There
was at least one intelligent person on that stage, and I wanted to see her.
Plus, there was the matter of the eggs I had to deliver to Mike Pence. I just hope he doesn’t try to baptize them when they hatch.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
There are those who will ask me, “Why didn’t you say something about what you
heard in Michigan?” What am I, Lassie?
No one follows a fly. Although I must say, after that debate my Twitter numbers
are way up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;">. . . . . <br /><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;">October 14<br /><b style="background-color: transparent;">THE DOCTOR IS IN (CENSED)</b></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never openly endorsed any
political candidate. You can quote me on that. But all of a sudden I find
myself in a Trump ad, my words taken out of context to make it sound as if I am
praising him. <br />
<br />
“I can’t imagine that anyone is doing more,” is what the clip of me says. But
it wasn’t Trump I was referring to. It was about what my colleagues and I have
been doing. <i>Mamma mia,</i> we’ve been working around the clock since
February, continually undermined by the White House<i>.</i> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Do you really think I would shill for that <i>stoonad?</i> He actually suggested
injecting bleach to kill the virus. Bleach! I have worked with some clowns in
my career, but this guy doesn’t even rise to the rank of an actual Bozo. Did
you see the face palm I made on TV when I heard him talk about the bleach? I
hadn’t intended to, but I’m Italian and my hand just went to my forehead.<br />
<br />
At first I was able to speak freely, but the President was so annoyed that my
approval rating was higher than his he yanked me off TV. That’s OK. I am not Dr. Phil. I'm the Director of the National Institute of Health. I have
plenty to do in the office (and I am here until <i>I</i> decide to go). The problem is that he is bringing in people
who are totally ill equipped to deal with the pandemic: the strip mall preacher who
blames the virus on witchcraft (I didn't see that coming), the osteopath who has no experience with
infectious diseases, and the palm reader who sits in a window in Greenwich
Village offering to read your fortune. <br /><br />Dr. Phil will arrive next week. I think the chief of Staff wanted the TV doctor on the team because he understands the president: "Whatever you must do today, do it with the confidence of a four-year-old in a Batman cape." Or in the president's case, a Superman t-shirt.<br /><br />The president needs to be talking
with epidemiologists. I think part of the problem is that he can’t pronounce
the word.<br />
<br />
By the way, you’re probably not aware of this, but every scarf that Dr. Birx
wears at a press conference contains a message. You just have to know how to
read the symbols in the print. Her messages trace the arc of the epidemic: <i>This
thing is not the flu . . . . Dear god, it’s a pandemic! . . . Trump knew about it in January . . . There’s
no miracle cure . . . Herd immunity? What herd immunity? . . . Wear your mask! .
. . Listen to Dr. Fauci . . . Bleach is not a cure . . . Rich people will get the vaccine first if there is a vaccine . . . We won't get back to normal until 2022 . . . We may never get back to normal . . . Trump is a liar . . . Trump is a </i>stoonad<i>. . . We could see a million deaths . . . The CDC has been taken over
by lizard people . . . </i><i>Vote Biden/Harris! . . . </i><i>Help! </i><i>I’m being
held hostage in the White House infirmary. </i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The FBI is mobilizing now.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And, Mr. President, since I’m writing in your journal I know you will see this
entry at some point, so let me say directly to you: I can’t imagine that anyone is doing
less.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">October 16<br /><b>TOWN HELL</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Last night I had my rally, I mean Town Hall meeting, on NBC. I was phenomenal. I
bluffed. I lied. I praised myself. I blamed everyone else. The audience loved
me, that I can tell you. One contestant, I mean participant, told me I was
handsome and had a great smile. (My hair looked good, too.)<br />
<br />
The event was held in Miami. A bunch of Cubans showed up, but they are the good
Hispanics—the ones who like me—not the rapists from Mexico. The Spanish language station, Univision, covered the event in addition to
NBC. Do you know that Univision is not pronounced <i>yuna-vision </i>but <i>ooh-nee-vee-zee-on?
</i>That was news to me. Why add all those extra syllables? Say it in English! Keep it short, like <i>Proud Boys.</i> Better still, just use letters, like KKK or GOP. They’re
easier to remember and you don’t even have to know how to read. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">A few people have called the timing of my rally, opposite
Joe’s, “egregious.” I’m glad they liked it. Just about everything I do is
egregious. And let me say that I like the media when it does what I want.
Otherwise, Fake News!<br />
<br />
But I am not very happy with Savannah Guthrie. She was relentless. I had to keep
speaking over her to show who was in charge. <br />
<br />
“You’ve repealed but you haven’t replaced,” she said about health care. The
nerve of her! And then, when we were talking about conspiracies (I love them, that I can tell you), she had
the audacity to say, “You’re the President. You’re not someone’s crazy uncle
who can retweet whatever.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: arial;">She made me so mad I had
steam coming out of my whatever—which was scary, because I was wearing the
Presidential Diaper, and I had you-know what coming out of my you-know-where at
the same time.<br />
<br />
Then she brought up the issue of money. I hate when women do that. She asked
about the $750 I paid in taxes, as if that wasn’t enough. Then she asked about
the $400k I owe. And then she asked if I
owe that money to Russia. “Hillary was dealing with Russia, not me,” I said.
(She’s the puppet.)<br />
<br />
“You could clear this up tonight by releasing your tax records,” Savannah said. Wrong! Well, right, but I
couldn’t say that, so I just said that I have been treated very badly by the
IRS. (Right after my performance was over, I texted Don Jr. to shred the
remaining tax papers in my office.) <br />
<br />
I also said that I have done more for the African American community than any
other president, maybe even Abraham Lincoln, and that I caught Covid from the
Gold Star families. I was on a roll, so I kept going. I said that 85% of mask
wearers get Covid and that Osama bin Laden was still alive. When she asked me
why I should get a second term, I answered honestly, for maybe the first time
ever: “Because I’ve done a great job.”<br />
<br />
What did Joe do? I watched him on tape after my triumphant rally, and this I
can tell you: Boring. All he had was facts and figures. And plans. He even
looked like he cared. What a sucker. And then he made me laugh out loud and
leak a little into my diaper when he said, “In politics, grudges don’t
work.” Wrong!<br />
<br />
My niece Mary texted me after the rally: “Savannah is right about the crazy
uncle.” What a bitch.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">. . . . .</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />October 19<br /><b>JESUS IS PISSED</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Although I’m not scheduled to return
any time soon, I’ve made a quick unofficial visit to remind my followers of Christian values. I am starting here on your
Journal, President Trump, because I hope you will share this with the people of
your base since they invoke my name and message so often (and so incorrectly).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">First, your personal televangelist
minister, Paula White, said, “Jesus walks in the White house.” Let me be clear
on this:<i>I do not. </i>Like any decent person or invented entity—living, dead,
resurrected, or existing in non-corporeal form—I respect the division of Church
and State, as do my BFFs. I have spoken with Allah, Buddha, Jah, Yahweh,
Jehovah, Shiva, Zoroaster, and the mighty Durga, and we are in complete
agreement that none of us would set foot anywhere near the building. That’s a
big multi-denominational no-no. However, we make no such claims for Beelzeebub,
who seems to have moved into the suite next to Melania’s. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since I mentioned televangelists, let
me say to them directly and in the strongest possible terms: Practice what you
preach. If you are railing against the Seven Deadly Sins, then do not disregard
them in your own life. Take greed, for example. When your compound is the size
of a small country and your followers can’t pay their rent but you continue to
ask them for ever more money, you have not grasped the concept of
Christianity. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">So it is with sex. I don’t care what
consenting adults do together or alone; just do it safely. Every creature in
the universe does some version of it. (Those bonobo monkeys, OMG!) So please
stop talking incessantly about it. And for God’s sake, stop taping yourselves;
you are not as smokin’ hot as you think you are. That includes the Pee Tapes,
Mr. President. Also, do I really have to tell you people to stop cheating and
lying? I am not kidding. Fly right or prepare to be smote. (Apologies on that
verb. The past participle is ridiculously irregular: smitten, smote, smit—they’re
all correct. English is not Dad’s first language.) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then there was the laying on of hands
in the Oval Office. WTF, Republicans? You do not have a monopoly on me. In
fact, I can say unequivocally that the biggest hypocrites are members of the
GOP. You talk holy but you’re not. We text, Beelzebub and I. We know who’s
doing what and who’s going where. Also, it should be clear by now that your
effort at raising up your president did not work, because if he descends any
lower he will be in another electoral district, if you catch my drift.<br />
<br />
Mr. Trump, you looked like a sanctimonious orange jerk holding up a Bible in
front of St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C. Now I have nothing against photo
ops—we had them in Nazareth, too, but when I showed up, you just had to make a
mental picture—however dispersing peaceful protesters with tear gas to
demonstrate your faith was way off the mark. (Plus, I know what you really
believe in.) BTW, Beelzebub loved the upside-down Bible. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Don’t put words in my mouth about
abortion or gay rights. I never said anything about either issue. Why? Because
I believe women have a right to make their own reproductive choices, and
everyone has the right to love whom they wish. In fact, Dad was all set to
create Adam and Steve but at the last minute changed his mind and went with the
heterosexual version. He has asked me to tell you that he takes full
responsibility for the overpopulation and misogyny that has resulted. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, I am not white. I know you
want to think of me as blond haired and blue eyed, but for the love of God, look
to geography. I’m from the Middle East. My skin is brown, my hair is woolly. It
even says exactly that in the Bible—look it up—but I guess you people just pick
and choose the parts you want. Also, I am Jewish. You know that, right? So stop
already with the slurs. It’s a <i>shanda</i> when you speak that way. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span>In short, get your shit together. You
do not want to provoke me or my Dad. (And just so you know, Covid was not our
doing. That was Beelzebub, with a big assist from your disinterest and incompetence,
Mr. President.)<br />
<br />
P.S. To the Trump supporter with the pickup truck that’s painted with confederate
flags and the image of a ghostly me (looking like Charles Manson) with my hands
on Trump’s shoulders: That is taking the lord’s name in vain, except with
paint. I have reported you the Department of Motor Vehicles. You will be called
to appear in person. I want you to have a little taste of hell before you
actually get there.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">

he is off on a rant. He said I could talk about anything I wanted as long as I
didn’t call him a moron, the way everyone who works for him has done. So I’ll
start off by saying this: President Donald Trump is not a moron. <br />
<br />
After he loses the election and resigns, I will become president and pardon him,
so writing in this journal is good practice for me. My journal will be called <i>Lord
of the Flies,</i> although Mother is pushing for <i>The Most Heterosexual President
Ever in the History of Presidents.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Let me tell you a few things about myself. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">1. First of all,
about the fly: No, I didn’t know it was there. I have no nerve endings on my
scalp. In fact, I have no nerve endings anywhere. I was born with nerves, of
course, but I have never used them so they’ve atrophied to nothing. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
2. The lack of facial nerves explains
why my expression is a combination of serene, upset, perplexed, amused, quizzical,
and pissed off. Also, a lot of the time I just don’t know what’s going on.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
3. I was hoping the GOP would want to groom
me for President in 2024, but Mitch McConnell has informed me that they prefer
I return to Indiana and groom my dog. <br />
<br />
4. I am not gay. The Conversion Therapy
made sure of that. Now, when I look a hunky guy, I feel nothing. Nothing at
all. But I must admit I have an insatiable craving for corndogs. <br />
<br />
5. I have a wonderful bear collection.
Big, furry bears. Pierced bears. Bearded bears. Nothing gives me more pleasure
that dressing them in tank tops and bikini bottoms—and then undressing them.
Ooh, I love to hug them when they’re undressed. Mother once walked in on me
when I was rubbing one up against me. “Oh, sure,” she said, “you’ll do that
with a bear but not me.” She was so mad that she took a strap to my bottom. Oh,
my, I was a naughty boy. I have made a point of being so naughty with the bears
that Mother puts the strap to me several time a week. <br />
<br />
6. Mother once asked, “Mr. Pence, is
there anything I can do to make you find me more attractive?” I thought about
it and asked her to not shave her legs. We already wear hairshirts, so she’s
almost like my very own bear. Well, except for the missing extra bit. But the
Conversion Therapy says I don’t need it. Besides, I recently discovered that I
have an extra bit of my own.<br />
<br />
7. Mother and I have three children. I have
no idea how that happened. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">8. I describe myself
as a Christian, a Conservative, and a Republican, in that order. However, most
people call me an Asswipe, a Hypocrite, and a Dolt.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
9. Once time, however, I was called a
thief. In 1991 when I was 31 and running
for state Congress, I used campaign donations to pay my mortgage and
other bills, including car payments and groceries, lots and lots of groceries. “It
was a brazen act of hypocrisy,” is how my opponent’s campaign manager described
it. I lost the election. But I still have a freezer full of those corndogs.<br />
<br />
10. Don’t tell President Putin, but I
have my own stash of videos: The Pooh Tapes. Oh, Winnie! That little
bare-bottomed fuzzy wuzzy really turns me on.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">October 21<br /><b>PETE AND RUDY: AMERICA’S MAYORS</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">It was not an easy decision for me to drop out of the Presidential race, but having
done so I am all in for Joe Biden. What intelligent person wouldn’t be? And I say that not because I’m a member of
Mensa, but simply as someone who espouses a free press and responsible
journalism over Fox News and lies. <br />
<br />
Before you call me elitist, let me say that you don’t necessarily have to be
book smart to be intelligent, just as having an advanced degree doesn’t guarantee
resourcefulness and common sense. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Case in point: Rudy Giuliani, a self-described
“cybersecurity expert” who locked himself out of his phone. The guy puts the <i>rude
</i>in Rudy. He has been hounding me ever since <i>Newsweek</i> referred to me
as “America’s Mayor.” Rudy just won’t let
up with the emails and texts. “I am America’s Mayor, not you! I am! Me! Me!“ He
even called me a few times. The shrieking, my god, I thought he was being
stabbed with an ice pick. <br />
<br />
Now he’s being investigated by federal prosecutors in Manhattan for illegal election
activities in Ukraine. Again, the shrieking. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Yes, he had that brief shining moment after the attacks in
2001. I was just a kid in South Bend then, but I remember watching on the news how
he made his way to Ground Zero, even as Donald Trump was on Fifth Avenue proclaiming,
“Now I have the tallest building in New York City.” How Rudy rose out of his
own muck to lead the city during that time—most New Yorkers hated him (and
apparently still do)—was a bit of a miracle. Unfortunately for him, after that
stratospheric rise in popularity he had a meteoric fall back to where he had
been—lower, actually, when he tried to stay on for an additional term. Since
then all he has done is stick his foot in his mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And have you seen what else is in his mouth? Those teeth!. Not only does he
look like a baboon with those incisors, the veneers on top are about 50 shades
whiter than the originals on the bottom. It’s the dental version of
the-carpet-doesn’t-match-the-drapes. His dentist should be impeached.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And what is it with all the wives and girlfriends? I don’t know much about
heterosexuality, but surely those women can do better. Do you know his first
wife was his second cousin? Then Wife #2, with whom he had two children,
learned he was divorcing her when he announced it on the 11 o’clock news.
Surprise! She was followed by Wife #3, a pharmaceutical executive, whom his
friends called “a cross between Lucifer and Marie Antoinette.” Since then he
has been romantically linked with a few women he has described as “big
breasted.” Well, I guess we know what his priorities are. Intelligence? Wit?
Compassion? Looks? No, tits.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
My apologies. I don’t normally talk that way. I’m an even-tempered Midwestern
guy, but between that loudmouth bully, our bloviating and incompetent
president, an out-of-control pandemic, and the prospect of a Medieval judge on
the Supreme Court, I am really pissed off. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: arial;">The <i>LA Times</i> called
me a campaign asset for Joe, saying that I “speak softly and carry a sling
blade.” I’m not really sure what that means. I don’t speak softly so much as
Joe’s opponent never stops ranting and yelling, so by comparison the rest of us
seem quiet. As for the sling blade, well maybe. I have reached the point where
if you are a science denier, a homophobe, a bully, or a virus spreader, I will
cut you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . .<br /><br /><br />October 22<br /><b>CRUELLA DEVOS IS GOING DOWN</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mayday! Mayday!<br /><br />As I write this, my husband and I are on our 400-foot yacht,
The Wealthy Oppressor, taking on water fast. We have been calling for help, but
to no avail. We’re sinking! If you are reading this, Mr. President, we may have
already drowned. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our trip up the Potomac started out as a little R&R cruise.
I had just gotten an eyebrow replacement—the ones I had, eww, total Alfred E.
Neumann—and was recovering nicely when we had a mutiny. Our peons, I mean crew,
said they had had enough of our disrespect and mistreatment and then took off
on the motorboat we keep on the yacht for emergencies. Come on, they’re just
the crew. We don’t have to be nice to them. So there we were in the wheelhouse
trying to figure out how to skipper our vessel when we hit something. We
started taking on water almost immediately. <br />
<br />
A group of teachers on a tourist boat motored over to assist, but when they realized
it was me they cheered at our predicament, revved up their engines, and sped
away. Unions, bah! We took on more water in their wake. The same thing happened
when a boatload of parents and schoolchildren saw us. Their vessel pulled up
close to ours. “Tell her, tell her,” urged one parent to her First Grader. “I
hope you drown,” said the child. A father yelled out, “You need help? Call your
local charter school!” They left us to die.<br />
<br />
Mayday! Mayday!<br />
<br />
I was born Cruella Prince on January 8, 1958, in Holland, Michigan, the oldest
of four children. My father was a billionaire industrialist, so of course I
attended private schools. I grew up with absolutely no understanding of middle-class
life and thought that poor people existed just in Dickens novels. Who knew? (Poverty
is so unseemly.)The only sibling I truly admire is my brother, Erik. He founded
Blackwater, which he calls a “private security agency.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
I married Richard Devos Jr, son of the Amway founder, in 1979, the year I
graduated from college. We have been good republicans, donating to many
right-wing causes and supporting the idea of using public money to fund private
schools, especially those focused on a christian education. Believe it or not, we founded a group in 2003
called All Children Matter (but of course, we believe wealthy white christian
children matter more than the others).<br />
<br />
Between the Amway money, our exclusionary philanthropy, and Eric’s mercenary
killing, we are a trifecta of republican perfection. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the 2016 primaries I donated to Jeb Bush and Carly
Fiorina before throwing my financial support to Marco Rubio. To be honest (and
I’m not always), I supported Fiorina so that people would see that we were not
the same person. In the public perception, skinny uptight republican ladies
seem to be interchangeable, but it has not helped my cause that Fiorina hasn’t
been seen since I became Education Secretary.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">President Trump doesn’t know this, but I called him “an interloper
. . . who does not represent the
Republican party.” (It’s in Wikipedia. Look it up.) Nevertheless he nominated me to be Education
Secretary in 2017. Perhaps he thought I was Carly Fiorina. It was the narrowest
of margins, 50/50, with Mike Pence stepping in to break the tie in my favor.
He’s an odd duck, that Pence—I can’t read his face at all—but he voted me in,
and that’s all I care about.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">As soon as I got the job I cut the education budget and eliminated many civil
right protections. Handicapped children don’t need to go to school; everyone
knows that. I also believe that if homosexual students insist on getting an
education, they should not be protected from harassment. Bullies weed out the
weaklings. That’s what Jesus says in the bible. But did you know I am a big supporter
of HBCUs? Who wouldn’t be? They help keep the black students out of white
colleges. <br />
<br />
Now that we’re in a pandemic, which our president has handled so deftly, I have
been pushing to open the schools anyway. In fact, I have redirected millions of
taxpayer dollars to private and religious schools. Sure, that money was intended
for the public domain, but my christian duty is to keep wealthy christian
children safe (especially the white ones). </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mayday! Mayday!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
With the water in our yacht well up past my knees and inching up to my chest, I
have not been able to get on my knees to pray. But I did call out to my lord
and savior, Jesus Christ. "Dear Jesus, I beg you to save us. We are drowning!"</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Imagine my surprise when I heard his holy voice boom: “Insufferable bitch, you
are on your own.”<br />
<br /><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;">. . . . .</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />October 23<br /><b>THE SECOND DEBACLE </b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I came. I saw. I conquered. That’s what Julius Caesar said
when he conquered the Nile in 1492. And that’s how I felt last night. It may
sound bragadocious, but I was magnificent. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
This was my best debacle, I mean debate, ever. Everyone said so. And by
everyone I mean the people who live upstairs in my head. I didn’t shout or
yell. I used my inside voice and kept everything in. Except for the little bit
of poop that leaked into my presidential diaper each time I broke wind. When I
told Joe I know more than him about wind, I wasn’t kidding. Believe me. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I practiced debate points ahead of time:<br />
. A vaccine is going to be ready within weeks <br />
. We have the cleanest water<br />
. I am the least racist person in the room<br />
. The coyotes did it<br />
. You have made millions from China<br />
<br />
OK, so a vaccine is not ready, but soon. Maybe by the election. Or definitely
by Inauguration Day. Or maybe not until
the end of 2021. Or sometime in 2022. But it’s coming. In the meantime, we’re
learning to live with it. (And damn Joe for answering, “We’re dying with it.”)
Well, it’s China’s fault, not mine. I really thought that if I ignored Covid it
would go away. I have done that with my children and with everyone I owe money
to, and it works with them.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
And we don’t really have the cleanest water. When I said it was clear and
sparkling, I was thinking about diamonds, like the ones Melania insisted I give
her before she would marry me. (And what did she do after the debate? Instead
of hugging me the way Joe’s wife did, she stood next to me like a robot. Not
even a smile or a, “Caesar, you were magnificent.” How hard is it to say
something nice to me?) The actual water in places like Flint, Michigan, is
brown and smells of gasoline. Since I am personally responsible for cutting
over 100 environmental regulations, what I meant to say is that we have the
cleanest water possible under the circumstances.<br />
<br />
But I was definitely the least racist person in the room, if you define “room”
as the three-foot-square patch of stage I was standing on. I have done more for
black people than any other president, maybe even Abraham Lincoln. Just ask my
African American friend over there. They love me, those African Americans. The
Mexican rapists, not so much. Well, most of them are not really rapists. But
they are drug dealers. Or if they’re not actually drug dealers, they are brown.
Definitely brown, that I can tell you. So
are the Muslims. I was really surprised when Joe said, “Abraham Lincoln here is
the most racist president in modern history.” I think he was mocking me. <br />
<br />
And I really resented it when the moderator, Kristine Walker, brought up the
issue of kids in cages. I didn’t build those cages, Joe did. All my ICE people
did was take the kids after they were brought here by coyotes. Now I’m not
exactly sure why those kids would want to come in with wild dogs, but Mexicans
do things differently, that I can tell you. <br />
<br />
And the thing about Joe and his family making millions from China, brilliant
strategy if I say so myself. I should write a political playbook. My strategy
is: Whenever I blame someone for something, I’m the one who has actually done it. I can’t
believe no one has figured this out. I was surprised that Joe didn’t mention
how Ivanka and whats-his-name have made billions off China. And since we’re
talking playbook, I have gotten a lot of mileage out of that
I’ll-show-you-my-taxes-as-soon-as-I’m-no-longer-under-audit line. I’m actually
starting to believe it myself.<br />

is here that Jeffrey Epstein resides, naked, as horned demons whip him
endlessly. He awaits Alan Dershowitz, who began a legal career with forceful
mind and ended it by inflicting the flaccid appurtenance at the other end of
his torso on underage girls. Your Ghislane Maxwell, will be here, too, one of
the few women consigned to this hideous ditch.<br />

state this in your contemporary terms, not only are they full of shit, they are
soaking in it. Followers of Ghengis Khan, Hitler, and Mussolini are here, as
are all the “yes men” who, often knowing better, followed orders nonetheless.
This pit has been readied for Mitch McConnell, whose necrosis has already set
in, as well as all those republicans who did not speak out against the
wrongdoing they saw but instead praised the wrongdoer. A place has been
reserved here for Michael Cohen, but he is using his earthly hours to atone for
his misdeeds and may yet ascend to a higher ring of hell. He will pass Lisa
Murkowski, who is fast moving in the opposite direction. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>In the Third Pit</b> are the Simoniacs, who sold religious
favors. You would know them in your contemporary world as televangelists who
promised salvation for donations to their ostentatious and tasteless churches.
These evil predators, who worshipped only gold, are stuffed headfirst into
stone tubes as flames lick continually at the bottom of their feet. <br /><br /><b>In the

boiling pitch These are the people who sold public office and took bribes.
Lucifer has prepared a special place for Rod Blagojevitch, the former Governor
of Illinois, who sought to sell the U.S. Senate of a vacating Barack Obama.
Although your Trump commuted the Governor’s sentence after he served eight
years, Lucifer plans no such commutation. Rudolph Giuliani will be here soon
enough, complaining as if to a maître d’, that he should be at a better table.
I assure you, Mr. Giuliani’s place here has been secured for all eternity. He
will be joined by a ruler from beyond the Bosporus, a bare-chested czar who
interfered with the honest election of your leaders. Evil of eye and malicious
of deed, he seeks to consume all power for himself. This despicable creature
will be dipped first in polonium, a material that had not yet been discovered
in our 14th Century, and then tossed into the pitch with the others. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>In the Sixth Pit</b> are the hypocrites, which is where the
religious extremists Pence and Pompeo will be placed, as well as the troll-like

forced to wear clothing made of lead, a metaphor for the weight and poison of
their words. <br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Recently, however, the Ruler of Hell instituted a change to
the Sixth Pit. The men, henceforth to be known as Donaldians, must now wear
ill-fitting blue suits, long neckties over which they trip at every step, and
height-enhancing shoes which constrict their feet in ever increasing pressure
until their bones are reduced to splinters and still they are required to walk.
The women, known as Melanians, will see their faces become ever tighter until
their feet are drawn up into their eye sockets and they become misshapen balls
of bone and Botox. The Melanians float in a pool of sewage chattering, "Maralago, Maralago, Maralago." Mrs. Schlaffly and Mrs. Reagan are afloat here
awaiting their kinswomen: Mrs. Cheney, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Ernst, Mrs. Bachmann,
and lesser known members of their Tea Society. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>In the Seventh Pit</b> are thieves who are bitten by reptiles.
Lucifer has already welcomed many of the Watergate break-in team and awaits the
arrival of Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort and much of the West Wing. The reptiles
are replaced at regular intervals because of the toxicity of the creatures on
which they gnaw. Lucifer salivates at the arrival of the lizardly Steven
Mnuchin who, as a banker, foreclosed on a 90-year-old woman who mistakenly
neglected to pay 27 cents of her mortgage. Upon his entrance, all remaining
vowels will be removed from his name, so that he will live on in ignominy as

individual columns of flame, never to be consumed by the fire but ever to burn.

egregiously, the bankers who lured working people into mortgages they would be
unable to pay. Judge Jeannine Pirro will be here, her flame to burn more
brightly because of the alcohol in which she soaked herself in life. Columns
are being kept lit for the three eldest Trump Children who stole from a
children’s cancer charily to fill their own coffers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

here, as will the blood-and-soil torchbearers, and the men who intimidated with
enormous weapons to compensate for their own tiny swords. Rush Limbaugh has
already begun his journey down. As a fitting end to their divisiveness, each of
these offenders will be split in two. Hitler eagerly awaits their arrival, not

I-don’t-care-do-u jacket because I do not give a <i>leteči kurac</i> (which in

you say, body double—vote for Joe.<br />
<br />
As soon as I will be out of White House I divorce Donald because deal over. <i>Dokončano.

Once no protection from White House, everyone will go to prison except me. Decorating
for Christmas and digging up Rose Garden have keep me very busy. Also, do you

With my father off campaigning, I am stepping in to fill his shoes. Except that
I am wearing spike heels of my own design. (Yes, they are similar to Jimmy
Choos. Can I help it if he copies me? That’s what my lawyers will argue
anyway.) I don’t wear a mask when the TV cameras are on, but I do in in the
Oval Office because I am terrified of getting the virus. The entire West Wing
is terrified because the entire West Wing is infected. I blame Hope Hicks for
that—she’s the Typhoid Mary of Covid—but she blames Daddy. Do you see the way they
lean into each other? He calls her “the daughter I never
had.” (Well, in fairness, he calls me “the wife I always wanted.”)<br />
<br />
After the election, I hope Daddy abdicates and Mike Pence pardons him. I am
tired of being First Lady, er Presidential Adviser. But there is the matter of
liability once we’re out of office. New York State is ready to indict. And I
suspect that Manhattan society will turn its back on us. We have become
personas non gracious, even among the right-wing Republicans. Daddy infected
all of them at his recent fundraisers and they are not pleased. I would rather

of the New York State Attorney General. Jared will stay in New York to run
his real estate empire (or face charges). The kids will stay home with a nanny;
they’re used to it. My first stop will be Italy to visit my mother and her

good week for me. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">First Lesley Stahl bullied me on <i>60 Minutes</i> with questions that were too
hard. She did say they were going to be hard, but she’s a woman so I didn’t
think they would be. She started off with the pandemic (which I ended), and
then suburban women (who love me), and then unemployment (everyone is working),
then preexisting conditions (no problem under my non-existent plan). Every time
I answered she said, “That’s not true, Mr. President.” I may not tell the truth, but no one calls
Donald J. Trump a liar, that I can tell you. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">When Stahl said, “<span style="background: white; letter-spacing: 0.25pt;">You’re the
President. Don’t you think you should be accountable to the American people?” </span>I
did the Presidential thing and walked out. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then Barack Saddam Hussein Obama hit the campaign trail to mock me. And he’s
not even running for president. He said if, “If the President can’t stand up to
60 minutes of questioning, how can he stand up to four more years in the White
House?” and “How can he stand up to the dictators who would tear this country
down?” Well, I don’t stand up to
dictators. I write them love letters and sometimes give them classified
information. Otherwise Putie would poison me and my whole family. OK, so I only
care about Ivanka, but there would be a lot of dead bodies, that I can tell
you. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Obama kept mocking me, just like at that correspondent’s
dinner when he made me a laughingstock and I wanted to crawl under the table,
except I was too big to fit under it. And he doesn’t slur or lie, the way I do.
He has never called me a name, unlike what Donald Jr. does behind my back or Mrs.
Robot does to my face. He just uses my own words against me. What kind of
sadist does that? Lock him up! And Alec Baldwin, too. (I am much better looking
than both of them.)<br />
<br />
And then everyone made fun of me for dancing on stage to <i>YMCA. </i>Not my supporters,
of course, but the Democrats. And the fake media, which described my moves as
an “awkward Dad dance.” SNL, that Antifa show, mocked me. Yes, I was a host on
it once. That was a mistake. Huge mistake, that I can tell you. Also, the
Village People issued a cease and desist on using their music. Hope says to
ignore them because I am a Macho Man. (Was she mocking me? I think she was
mocking me.)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
There’s more. I left thousands of people stranded in the freezing cold after my
rally in Omaha. My enemies are calling it the Trump Death Tour. We hired buses to
bring them to the airfield outside of town where I was set up to speak, but
then the buses didn’t show up when it was over. (Maybe because no one was there
to pay them, as they were promised? I don’t know. It’s not my fault.) Good
thing I had Air Force One to get me out of there. Those MAGA hats don’t keep
you warm, that I can tell you.<br />
<br />
I don’t care that all those people were left in the middle of nowhere for three
hours— in the dark, by the way—but Hope says it did not reflect well on me. “Bad
optics,” is what she said. (Who does she work for, LensCrafters or me?) We should have had the buses wait while I
rallied. A company official said it was because none of my supporters were
wearing masks and they were singing <i>YMCA</i> at the top of their lungs on the way
over, spewing Covid everywhere. And no one from the campaign showed up to pay
them as promised, so the drivers decided to leave. That bus company is never
getting paid now. Not that we actually planned to pay them. Dozens of old
people ended up in the hospital. If they die, I just hope it’s not until after
they vote for me. The Omaha Police Department sent me a bill for overtime. They
can line up behind the bus company. <br />
<br />
But there is one bright spot. Crowds of Trump supporters with automatic weapons
are showing up at early voting places to oversee the election process. They are
tremendous, those militias. Tremendous. The jeers! The threats! This is
Democracy in action, using their Second Amendment right to exercise their First
Amendment right. I’m quoting Hope on that. I don’t know my Amendments from my
Commandments.<br />

It’s always kind of scary in the nation’s capitol, what with the gang wars between
parties, the roving bands of unmasked tourists, and the occasional arrival of armed
troops sent by the president for one of his photo ops. But these days the town
is more frightening than usual, and not only because the election is imminent.
It’s almost Halloween. Here’s how some of the government’s key players plan to
celebrate.</a><b> </b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="background-color: white;">CANDY<br /></b><br /><b>
President Trump</b> is ready with full pumpkin makeup, but he’s not giving out goodies
to anyone making under $90,000 a year. In fact, he’s enlisted Attorney General William
Barr to seize the candy of anyone in that income bracket and give it to
corporations and the wealthiest one percent. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Senator <b>Mitch
McConnell</b> promised candy for everyone, but he’s hoarding it in the Senate until
after the election. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Education Secretary
<b>Cruella DeVos</b> does not believe children deserve candy.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Senator <b>Susan Collins</b> says she’ll give you candy, then she says she won’t give you candy.
Then she will, then she won’t. She does this every year. The District’s trick
or treaters know better now. They just run past her house. In Maine it’s worse;
kids avoid her neighborhood entirely. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Senator <b>Lisa Murkowski</b>
knows that giving out candy is the right thing to do, and she wants to do it,
but first she needs to see if Mitch will allot some extra candy for her state
before she makes her decision. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Representative
<b>Maxine Waters</b> will give out orange t-shirts with the slogan, <i>A prison jumpsuit
to match his makeup.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Melania</b> will give
out tiny red Christmas trees.<br />
<br /><b>
Joe </b>and<b> Kamala</b> will go door to door, masked of course, giving candy back to the
homeowners. “We understand the financial burden they carry,” said Kamala. They’re
calling it the Snickers Initiative. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Andrew Yang</b> will
give out $1000 worth of candy to every trick or treater. The line to his front
door is already around the block.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>
Joni Erns</b>t is back in Iowa where she had a literal ton of soybeans covered in
chocolate to give to her constituents. “Soybeans!” they fumed. “We have
freaking silos full of them, the result of Trump’s China tariffs.” Ernst was
last seen being chased down Main Street by a mob of farmers with pitchforks. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Senator <b>Elizabeth
Warren</b> will be handing out candy from her home in Cambridge, Mass. Visitors may
select from a tray laden with goodies as she reminds them that they didn’t get
there on their own. “I want to be clear. You got here on roads and sidewalks the
rest of us paid for. You are safe because of police forces that the rest of us
paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize your
candy. God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract
is you take some of that candy and pay forward for the next kid who comes
along.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Mike Pence </b>and<b> Mother</b> were planning to give out tiny plastic statues of Jesus that are
suitable for prayer and contemplation. Last year they gave out a chocolate
Jesus to every trick or treater, and most thought it was a riot to bite off its
head or watch it melt. The Pences vowed to offer something more lasting.
However when an advance visitor mentioned that this year’s Jesus is just the
right size for a butt plug, Mother collapsed face first into a fresly baked
pie. Mike was heard screaming, “Oh, god,” from an upstairs bedroom. <br /><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a name="_Hlk53855510"><b>COSTUMES<br /></b><br /><b>
Ben Carson</b> loves Halloween. This year he will dress as a brain surgeon. Is that
hilarious or what? Next year he wants to be the floppy inflato-guy you see at
car dealerships.</a> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Steven Miller </b>will
be dressed as a vampire—the fangs, the bat wings, the rabid look. Oh, I’m sorry.
That’s him in street clothes.<br />
<br /><b>
Rudy Giuliani</b> will wear a pinstripe shirt with a message scrawled in Sharpie on
the back: <i>Jeffrey Toobin is the masturbator. I was just tucking this shirt
into my pants. </i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">As always, <b>Lindsey
Graham</b> will dress up as a French maid. Even he’s getting tired of it, but he
has no room for extra costumes. He’s been living in his closet since 1963. <br />
<br /><b>
Ted Cruz</b> is dressing up again as Grandpa Munster. He likes it because he
doesn’t have to do anything but put on a cape. This year, however, Amblin
Entertainment, which owns the rights to the characters of Morticia, Gomez, and
the others, has issued a cease and desist order, noting in part, “This monster
is giving The Addams Family a bad name.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Dr. Birx</b> plans to
wear an orange scarf with a festive pattern of haystacks and cornstalks. What? You
though she would let this occasion pass by without a scarf? She will accent it
with a pumpkin-print babushka.<br />
<br /><b>
Dr. Fauci</b> is working. He has no time for frivolities. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Over at the Supreme
Court, <b>Brett Kavanaugh</b> is wearing one of those beer hats with tubes that
deliver the brew directly down his throat. This is not so much a costume for
him as another day on the bench. He usually has a keg concealed under his
robes.<br />
<br />
Justices <b>Sonia Sotomayor</b> and <b>Elena Kagan</b> have already put on white lace collars
to keep the memory of RBG front and center as the Stepford Wife prepares to
take her place on the bench.<br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>John Roberts</b> is
dressed as a Chief Justice. May he now act like one.<br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Nancy Pelosi</b> will be
in head-to-toe black leather. She dominates! House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn
came up with the idea, and House members have requested that she wear the
costume until inauguration. “Anything that keeps Trump in line is fine with
us,” said Clyburn.<br /> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>THE HOLIDAY ITSELF<br /><br /></b>Senator <b>Mitt Romney</b>
doesn’t believe in pagan harvest festivals, but he has been known to indulge in the
occasional slice of pumpkin pie.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Secretary of State <b>Mike Pompeo</b> hates the hoopla of Halloween, preferring
instead to spend November 1, All Saint’s
Day, reading scripture and praying—with sufficient time allotted to malign Muslims,
Jews, and homosexuals.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Finally, <b>Amy Coney Barrett</b> says that since Halloween is not mentioned in either
the bible or the Constitution, she’s not celebrating it. In fact, she believes
that no one should celebrate it, and she will use her power to make it so. On a
personal note, Mrs. Barrett would like it to be known that she does not appreciate
her religious family being mocked as Children of the Candy Corn.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Here’s hoping for a big election Treat. With no Russian, er, Republican tricks. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Also, may Donald
find a razor blade in his apple.<br />. . . . .<br /><br />November 2<br /><b>IT’S COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE: CONTAGION AT 1600
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE</b><br />Part 1</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The sinkholes on the front lawn should have been a warning,
but at first everyone thought it was just Melania digging up more of the
grounds in her high heels. Then Kellyanne Conway resigned citing family issues,
as if she had a human family. And then Jared weighed in on black American life
as if he had any understanding of the living. By the time Mike Pompeo’s head
started rotating and puking up green slime, we knew we had a problem. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
After that it’s kind of a blur. The lights kept flickering. All the smoke
detectors started going off at once. The shriek was deafening. No, wait, that
was Mike Pence after he found himself alone with the Press Secretary. Every TV in in the building turned on
simultaneously, tuned to Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. The remotes didn’t work. Someone
yelled, “Put Fox News back on!”—except he called it “Pox News.” They couldn’t even change the channel by
hand. Bombarded relentlessly by fact and informed opinion, staffers cowered under
their desks. The computer screens were all flashing the number of the CDC. But
what really scared me was the deep rumbling, a very low bass vibration that
seemed to rise up from the depths of the earth. That rumbling coalesced into a
wave and the wave into a message: “YOU'RE NEXT!”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Reporters scrambled out of the Press Room, dictating stories of doom into their
phones as they fled up Pennsylvania Avenue. Mark Meadows, the White House Chief
of Staff, should have taken charge, but he was trying to channel the ghost of
H.R. Bob Haldeman, because the last time anything like this happened Richard Nixon
was in the Oval Office. Then his head started rotating and he started puking up
green slime, too.<br />
<br />
I’m the Chief Butler at the White House, so I stepped in. It is my duty to see
that things run smoothly—which they weren’t—but I did the best I could. The
West Wing offices remained full of people coughing and sneezing, not a mask in
sight. Bill Barr, looking pale and bloated—not unusual for him—asked for a
Depends and then I think he left. (From the window I saw a large figure lumbering in fits and starts away from the building.) At least the East Wing was empty, which it had
been since the First Lady went into quarantine. Her assistants were working
from home, trying to avoid Christmas decoration duty. <br />
<br />
The generals convened in the Situation Room, prepared to bomb, but they didn’t
know who, what, or where the target was. They needed their Commander in Chief
to issue orders, yet they knew he would know even less than they.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
Meanwhile, the Commander in Chief was up in his quarters tweeting on the toilet.
When the Secret Service arrived to pull him to safety, they disappeared into a
vortex of virus, misinformation, and lies. Poor guys. They just dematerialized
into the ether.<br />
<br />
The President kept rage-tweeting: SPACE FORCE!<a name="_Hlk53071900">—</a>VOTE!
. . . RELIGIOUS LIBERTY! —VOTE! . . . 91% APPROVAL RATING—VOTE! . . . BIDEN IS A GIRL FOR WEARING A MASK! . . . NO
MASKS! NO MASKS! . . . I
GOT IT FROM THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES! . . . METH FOR EVERYONE! . . . DON’T TRUST THE
DOCTORS! . . . WE’VE ROUNDED THE CORNER!<br />
<br />
By then the walls were dripping blood. <br /><br />Ivanka was beside herself with
excitement. “Pantone Sceptre Red!” she exclaimed. “It’s exactly the right hue
for my final collection.” (As the White House butler I pay scant attention to
fashion, but even I knew that her Marie-Antoinette-in-the-enchanted-forest-of
red-Christmas-trees theme would be headed straight to the Marshall’s Clearance
racks.)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">
The air became foul, sulfurous, as a venomous creature rose from a hole in the
basement. “President Nixon!” Pence
shouted, dropping to his knees and touching his forehead to the floor. Not
quite. It was Cthulhu, King of the Underworld.
“YOU’RE NEXT,” he rumbled. The
sound was so deep I thought my insides would be cooked from the vibration. <br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pompeo and his Children of the Corn prostrated themselves
and began to pray. Cthulhu vaporized them, leaving only the stain of Pompeo’s
ego on the floor. Pence ran out so fast he forgot to collect Mother. Hope Hicks
hissed back at the creature, whipped her hair, and fled, the click, click,
click of her high heels doing double time. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I passed out from the sulfurous fumes. When I awoke, everyone
was dead or gone except the president, who was still rage tweeting upstairs on
the toilet. <br /><br />. . . . .<br /><br />November 3<br /><b>WHITE HOUSE CONTAGION: THE CLEANSING</b><br />Part 2<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">[In Part 1 the White House is occupued by a sinister force. Yes, him, but also something else. The White House butler tells the story.]<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">By the time I came to, a Special Ops team dressed head to
toe in hazmat gear had arrived and was disinfecting the building. As the Chief
Butler, I can tell you there are 132 room, 35 bathrooms, eight staircases, and
three elevators in the White House. Ops was going through them methodically, office
to office, room to room, cleaning and spraying, cleaning and spraying, even as
Cthulhu threatened to take the building down. I fled.<br />
<br />
The rest of the story was recorded on the Presidential Drone, which I accessed
remotely. The drone is used by the Secret Service to make sure the President
has not wandered off. That happened to President Reagan a few times, and no one
wanted it to happen again. (We recognized Trump’s dementia the day he strapped
himself to the flag pole on the roof of the building and screamed, “I’m the
king of the world.”) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We tell the
President it’s the White House’s pet fly, which Pence thinks is hilarious.
Anyway, that’s how I know an Elite Relocation Team from within Ops made its way
to the Presidential bathroom and carried the president out, toilet and all, as
he was still tweeting on the pot. POOR PEOPLE SUCK! . . . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>MORE TAX BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES!! . . . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>PRINT EXTRA MONEY! . . . <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NOBODY LIKES ME <span face=""Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">☹</span>!<br />
<br />
“Mr. President, put on a mask,” one of them said. “Mask? He’s butt naked,” said
another. Someone on the team pulled out a printed silk scarf and wrapped it
around him like an apron. <br />
<br />
Then the drone followed a lone figure who had broken away from Special Ops and was
making its way down to the White House basement, braving the darkness and foul
air. Someone said it was Mitch McConnell, but that was incorrect; Mitch was
last seen cowering on the Senate floor whimpering, “I want my power back.” Lindsey
Graham was there, too, stuck in some kind of demonic loop that couldn’t be
turned off: “Trump is a racist. Trump is not a racist. Trump is a racist. Trump
is not a racist.” The last time I saw that happen, it was Susan Collins
debating with herself about Kavanaugh. But the word had a <i>p</i> not a <i>c.</i>
<br /><br />I know it wasn’t Justice Kavanaugh making his way to the basement, because when
things get tough he taps a keg and doesn’t stop until he has passed out.
Justice Thomas doesn’t go out of his way to help anyone. My god, he hasn’t said
a word since he got that pubic hair stuck in his throat in 1991.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I was also able to rule out Ben Carson. The poor
guy is no longer coherent, although he comes to work every day and sits at a
very nice table in his office tracing his hands to make Thanksgiving turkeys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
No, this figure in full hazmat was a warrior, striding toward the terrible
unknown armed only with the ardor of righteousness and the protection of a
powerful spirit. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Steven? Steven Miller,” is that you?” the figure
inquired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Cthulhu raised himself up, ready to strike. It was indeed
Miller, fangs bared, red eyes ablaze, his hairless skull a Medusa of maggots.
The hazmatted figure stood<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>tall, shoulders
squared, refusing to yield a centimeter of ground. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">“Tiananmen Square! Tiananmen Square!” I heard myself
shouting in solidarity as I watched the feed. I could see that the figure,
powerful as it was, was being protected by a good and even more powerful spirit.
The King of the Underworld hissed, but weakly. Though enveloped by the ghost of
Hitler, he realized he was outmatched in intelligence and integrity and like a
defeated cur slunk into the damp earth under the White House, the foul odor
following behind him. The ground shuddered and then calmed. Suddenly the air throughout
the building smelled almost sweet.<br />
<br />
The heroic figure removed her helmet and let out a deep sigh. Feeling the
presence of the good spirit still with her, she said, “Thank you, Justice
Ginsberg. I wish we had more time together.” <br />
<br />
“Not to worry. I will be right here with you.”<br />
<br />
Satisfied that evil had been vanquished from the White House, and protected by
her invincible Ruthian shield, Kamala made her way back up to the first floor,
wiping her sneakers before setting foot on the polished floors. Like a miracle,
Special Ops had thoroughly cleansed the premises. Kamala inhaled deeply, the
first time in almost a year that she had felt safe enough to do so. Calmly she
placed a call.<br />
<br />
“Joe, the place is ready when you are.” <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">. . . . . </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><span>November 9<br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>P.S.

Her state went blue. And what’s that other M state? Oh, Minnesota, with that annoying lady senator who speaks her mind. I hate women who have opinions. That went blue, too. When Fox News called Arizona for Sleepy Joe, I passed out from the shock. That’s when the ghost of John McCain appeared to me. “I don’t like losers,” he said. “Not only can you not win at golf, you can’t win a second term. And you only got the first term because you cheated.” Then I turned a shade of blue that Melania described as “Prussian.” That I liked.

She wouldn’t touch me with a 10-foot pole. One time I offered her a larger plane for her trips to the hairdresser if she agreed to use one of those extension grabbers. “You turn me into trash picker,” she complained, and then she squeezed so hard I passed out. That’s the night I made the midnight chopper trip to Walter Reed Hospital.

OK, I tried to set fire to them, but I know the moment I’m out of the White House, she will file.

<b>PARDON ME
</b>Today I pardoned a turkey. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was big, white, and kind of creepy looking, with a mass of waggly flesh under its chin. No, not me. It was a bird named Corn. <br />
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett called to ask me to be clear that Corn,the turkey, had absolutely no connection to her husband, the Colonel, nor to Father Cob and Mother Maize, the leaders of her religious group, Children of the Corn. “I can’t be too careful now, what with those heathen Democrats mocking me at every turn,” she said, speaking from the grain-filled silo that serves as the international headquarters of her sect. “The jokes and bad puns are a grind,” she said, her voice cracking. “I’m about to pop.”<br />
Melania weighed in, too. Perhaps because she was procrastinating on her Christmas duties, she spent a few hours on Google researching the tradition of the President pardoning a Thanksgiving bird. I caught her laughing, something she doesn’t do too often because it stretches the tight skin on her face.<br />
“A lame duck pardoning a turkey. That is funniest thing I have hear all year,” she said.
Well, that put me in a fowl mood.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then she got serious and said, “Do you know that most turkeys die just a few months after a Presidential Pardon?” <br />
I felt faint, that I can tell you, because I am planning my own pardon as a grand exit, just after I set the Oval Office on fire. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m sure I heard Melania say “Flock you” as she left the Pardoning ceremony. She would have moved faster, but her spike heels kept sinking into the Rose Garden lawn.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">November 29
<b>FAMILY TIES
</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although I have lost three times in Georgia, and twice in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin—and even the judges I appointed are ruling that my evidence of fraud is “strained”—I will continue my fight to hold onto a job I don’t want. I haven’t made America great yet, but I will.<br />
So on Joe’s Inauguration Day, after the Secret Service drags me out of the Oval Office, I will hold a rally for my candidacy for the 2024 election. I will be a tremendous president, even if I have to reign from jail. (New York State is not going to let this go, that I can tell you.)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">I am thinking of having Ivanka as my Vice President. I’ll be divorced by then, and if Jared gets convicted of treason, Ivanka will be free to marry me. My daughter would become my VP and my wife. Barron’s half cousins would then become his step brothers and sisters, and his half sister would then become his stepmother. Confusing? Not to my base. They’re all married to one another. (I think that’s why they liked Rudy so much, even if he is eye-talian, because his first marriage was to his cousin.)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">Melania will continue to live in Virginia with her father, who looks like me. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">I know Don Jr. would like to run for President, so it’s possible that we will be running against each other in the 2024 primary. If Joe decides not to run for a second term (Too old! Too old!) our Democratic opponent in the Primary could be California Governor Gavin Newsom, who used to be married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, Junior’s girlfriend, possibly second wife by then. That would make her a former First Lady and potential First Lady. (And she’s no lady, believe me.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;">On her way out the door, Melania said that with the family ties, and the crime, our family saga would make a good movie. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">No, it would make a GREAT movie. A TREMENDOUS movie. Maybe even win an Oscar. (And if it doesn’t, I will demand recounts and charge fraud.) I will ask Francis Ford Coppola to direct. He knows his epic family dramas, that I can tell you.<br />
It could open with my grandfather, Friedrich Drumpf, a handsome young man who emigrated to America in 1885. History will tell you that he left to avoid serving in the German Army, but really he came to seek his fortune in America. He headed west for the gold rush and worked as a pimp for a brothel in Alaska. (And you wonder where my obsession with gold and women comes from). On a trip home he met my great grandmother, Elizabeth Crist, and brought her here. But she was homesick so they went back to Germany—except that the Germans didn’t want him. They called him a draft dodger and gave him 48 hours to leave and never come back. (Which neatly explains both my attraction to immigrant women and my hatred for immigrants.) After Friedrich died, Elizabeth bankrolled my dad, Fred, in a small real estate business. Sound familiar? (The themes! Coppola will love it!)<br />
So although I don’t have much to do with Melania now that I’ve lost, er, not won, I will give her the last work on this one: “Donald, tell Coppola I have great title for movie. You should call it <i>The Godfather.”</i></span><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><i>. . . . .

<b>RUDY'S A GAS!</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Rudy farting made me laugh so hard I shit my Presidential Diaper.
In the middle of an election hearing in Michigan, the Rudester passed gas not once but twice. I want to say that the lamestream media edited in the sound effects but I know Rudy, and he is so full of gas he could be a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. (Which we didn’t have this year because Mike Pence screwed up on Covid.)<br />
The press was not kind to Rudy, that I can tell you. Buzz Feed showed a clip of Jenna Ellis, his assisting attorney, giving him the side eye at the first toot and then kind of laughing after the second one escaped. This made the news as far away as New Zealand.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Darrin Camilleri, a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, led the questioning. “Your team has now lost 39 court cases in the aftermath of the election . . . Yesterday we learned that U.S. Attorney General William Barr has similarly found no evidence of widespread irregularities. If our local clerks, state and federal judges around the country, and the highest ranking law enforcement official in the United States cannot find any substance or any merit in any of your arguments, why should we?” <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rudy responded with a resounding air biscuit.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Of course this is not the first time Rudy has looked like a buffoon—and I am not talking about his press conference over by the dildo store. A few weeks ago at another hearing a brown liquid began to drip down his sweaty face. I joked that he’s so full of shit he’s leaking. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The one question I have is this: How can Rudy be full of shit and full of gas at the same time. Wouldn’t he just explode?</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. . . . .

<b>OY VEY
</b>
What is it my Jewish daughter, Ivanka, says when she’s feeling put upon? Oh, right: <i>Vey </i><i>iz mir. </i>Well, vey is mir bigly. No one has been more put upon than me, that I can tell you.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>Every lawsuit I brought against the states in my rightful quest to overturn the election results was dismissed. Then Mr. Fartbag went and got Covid just when I needed him most (not that he has accomplished much, but he’s so incompetent he makes me feel better about myself, plus my dentures are tremendously better than his veneers). And then the damn Supreme Court dissed me with one-sentence: “The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied.” I don’t understand most of those words, but I know a No when I hear it. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>What’s the point of installing your own people on the Supreme Court if you don’t own them? I could have saved myself a lot of <i>tsouris</i> (Ivanka taught me that one) and just let the Court shrivel like Mike Pence’s testicles. I expected the Frat Boy to be my Yes Man. What does he do? He says No. And Mrs. Jesus? I just gave her the job of a lifetime for an actual lifetime. And she refuses to hear my case? What a bitch. Plus she’s not even a three.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>Now any normal person would accept this loss, but I am not normal. I am abnormal, and I mean that in the best possible way. I will not let it go. If I can’t be President of the United States, I will do my best to undermine the country. My next move will be to pardon anyone I have ever met (except for the undocumented workers at Mar-a-Lago). I will even pardon myself. “Pardon me, Mr. President, you’re pardoned.” I like the sound of that!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>But then I think about New York State and I feel sick. I can’t pardon myself for state crimes. And there’s no one to get me off the hook. New Yorkers hate me. Andrew Cuomo hates me. And Letitia James, the Attorney General, is out for blood. She has 67 sealed indictments that will be opened on January 20, 2021. If I get a year for every charge, that’s—let me do a quick calculation--almost 60 years in prison. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>I won’t be at the inauguration, that I can tell you. I plan to take Air Force One (my last trip on that big bird) to Mar-a-Lago that day, so just about the time Joe is putting his hand on the Bible, I will be at the podium for my “Trump in 2024” rally. I may have to rethink the MAGA idea, though. Maybe MAIA—Make America Infectious Again. That will undermine Joe’s efforts. Or how about KACA: Keep Americans Clueless Assholes. Or my favorite, GRIFT: Go Republicans in Full Throttle.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>My only fear is that while I'm rallying, I will be arrested and brought back to New York for trial. Oh, the unfairness! After I pardon my kids, the entire West Wing, my Cabinet, all my donors, and any republican senator who needs it, will I be the only to end up in jail? There goes my 2024 run. There goes my hair. There goes the rest of my life. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>Oy, vey iz mir.<span style="color: #050505; text-align: center;">

<b>TIME OUT</b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>Excuse me, <i>Time Magazine,</i> but I am still here. And I am still president. And I won the election. Why would you ever give your "Person of the Year" cover to those two losers, Joe and Kamala? Am I angry? Bigly, that I can tell you.<br />
I was one of four contenders, but <i>Time</i> was not kind. This is what they said about me:<span style="color: #313132;"> “Since losing the election, he’s baselessly claimed that there was fraud and falsely said that he’s the winner. His Administration has been highly criticized for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”</span><br />
Baseless? I have a base. A tremendous base. There are millions in my base. Sure, among them they have a few dozen teeth and a combined IQ of 70, but they are my base. They love me, that I can tell you. They’d vote for me again, multiple times, if I asked them to.<br />
Who else was in the running for the <i>Time</i> cover? Dr. Fauci, that’s who. Now I am really pissed off. Some little dago with a Brooklyn accent should get the cover before me? My accent is full Queens, and I am taller than Fauci—and much better looking. (And I'm not eye-talian.) I have more money, too. And I’m still the President, dammit.
<span style="color: #313132;">As for the fourth contender, the Movement for Racial </span><span style="color: #313132;">Justice, what the hell? That’s not a person! </span><span style="color: #313132;"> </span><span style="color: #313132;">And what about the white race? Where’s our </span><span style="color: #313132;">justice? Nobody has been treated more unfairly than white people, especially </span><span style="color: #313132;">white men. I am doing my best to infuriate the ones with guns, that I can tell </span><span style="color: #313132;">you.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><span style="color: #313132; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">And as if that’s not enough, Germany has decided to weigh in with their magazine. This week <i>Der Spiegel </i>(which translates to <i>Duh, who can read it? It’s in German</i>), called me “Loser of the Year.” And I didn’t even make the cover. My head is going to explode! You know what they wrote? They wrote that I refused to concede the election and that I’m “</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #111111;">a man who ... was never concerned with the common good, but always with one thing - himself."</span><br />
Tell you what: With all the money I’m raising for my “recount,” I’m going to start my own magazine. I’m going to call it <i>Time for Me</i>. I will be on every cover and in every feature, except for a column called “Losers.” Everyone who ever said bad things about me will be in that column. Yes, that “Losers” column will be long, but the coverage of me will be bigger, much bigger, tremendously bigger. Every issue will focus on me. There will be articles about Me at Mar-a-Lago. Me in the White House (OK, outside the fence; we’ll crop out the secret Service with guns drawn). Me in Trump Tower. Me with big-breasted glamorous women. (I wonder if Stormy is available?) Me at my golf courses. We’ll Photoshop the pictures of me golfing so that my butt doesn’t block the solid-gold golf cart. (OK, gold plated, but it’s still gold.) And we’ll do a Special Issue on my wedding to Ivanka.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><span style="color: #050505; text-align: center;">Of course I will be the <i>Time for Me</i> Man of the Year. (None of this “person” business.) Man of the Year. Every year. I might have Friends issue so that I can include Putin, Duterte, Erdogan, Little Kim, and even America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani. And a special Nostalgia Issue so that I can include Mussolini, Hitler, and Genghis Khan. We’ll Photoshop me in.<br />
OK, I am feeling much better now. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><span style="color: #050505; text-align: center;">. . . . .

<b>BENCHED! </b> </span></span><span style="color: #050505; text-align: center;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Screw the Supreme Court. Jenna Ellis, Rudy’s assistant lawyer (who has been spreading Covid at all the Christmas parties, my kind of gal), tweeted that our case is not over. “The corrupt Supreme Court is in the pocket of the Democrat Party. We are going to appeal this to The Hague andUnited Nations!”<br />
Yes, we’re fighting on! But not like that. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">First of all, I don’t know what the Hague is. Sounds vague to me. And after the things I said about the UN, I don’t think they would rule in my favor. I mean, I did call it weak, incompetent, and an underperformer and said their marble looked cheap. (I offered them a makeover with better marble and gold trim but they never got back to me. Losers.) </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I think it should go to a tribunal of TV judges instead. Get Mark Burnett on this. We’ve got a tremendous reality series here, even better than <i>The Apprentice.</i> Picture it: Judge Judy, Judge Mathis, and Judge Wapner sitting at a gold plated bench with diamond-encrusted gavels. Adding Wapner will really boost the ratings because he’s dead. We’ll bring in the Long Island Medium to reach him via séance. <br />
No, wait, instead of a tribunal we’ll have nine judges—our own Supreme Court. We’ll call it the Tremendously Supreme Court Everyone Says So. To Judges Judy, Mathis, and Wapner, we’ll add Kim Kardashian (she’s in law school); Ted Cruz, because he was willing to try my most recent case before the (Un)Supreme Court, and I don’t even care if his wife is ugly (I don’t have to sleep with her); and Joe Pesci, who was recommended by Rudy. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ivanka will bring tremendous class to the bench, plus she can design the robes (cleavage for the women, broad shoulders for the men, no RBG collars for any of them. (We can sell them on QVC and make a fortune, too.) Also my daughter, Tiffany. It’s time to give the poor girl some attention, and she did graduate from law school. No, scratch that. I’m giving that spot to Omarosa. She said I had to, and I’m afraid of her. (Sorry, Tiff.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Chief Justice will be the Honorable Rudy Giuliani. Before he ascends the throne, though, he’s got to get a makeover to be more telegenic: hair implants, a better dye job, and matching teeth. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Of course I will have back-up justices for when I start firing the original team. I’ve got Uncle Phil from <i>Fresh Prince of Bel Air,</i> Judge Roy Snyder from <i>The Simpsons,</i> Judge Sardine from <i>Sponge Bob,</i> and Judge Reinhold who’s not only an actor but he has played a judge and he has the perfect name: Judge Judge.<br />
Once we win my case and I’m back in the Oval Office, we can film in the Supreme Court Building. Who cares if they don’t like the gilding. That’s their problem.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The ratings will be tremendous, that I can tell you</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span><span style="color: #050505; text-align: center;">

And then I find out that Norton, I mean Billy Barr, has resigned. Oh sure, he said he wants to spend more time with his family. That’s what all the losers say. Who’s going to cover my ass now? Even Scott Baio doesn’t want the job. And on the home front, Melania won’t let me near her and Ivanka keeps reminding me that I am not her husband.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s a good thing I have a big ego, because if I didn’t, I would be crushed. Waaah! Who am I kidding, I am feeling like a flat tire, but I wouldn’t admit that anywhere by here in my journal. My ego is now the size of my penis, and that has been shrinking with every recount. It’s now so small it’s like an inverted belly button. Waaah! </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Oh wait, there’s more. The (Un)Supreme Court will not roll back marriage equality. I blame Ruth Bader Ginsburg for this. Jeez! First I learn the Mexican kids have to be returned to their parents, and then the polar bears are safe from Arctic drilling, and now queers have the same rights as everyone else? Amy and the Frat Boy have been a huge disappointment so far. That’s what I get for not giving them enough money. <br />
On top of that I find out that Michigan congressman Paul Mitchell is leaving the GOP.

</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">“Let me leave you with this plea: Resist.” </p><p class="MsoNormal">Preparing for her departure, Secretary of Education Cruella
Devos urged the career staffers to fight whitened tooth and manicured nail
against any Biden administration attempts to overturn her legacy.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In brief remarks during a virtual meeting, Mrs. Devos reflected on what she called her "numerous accomplishments” and urged staffers of the Education Department to “resist the efforts of the liberal elite to reestablish equality in education.”</p><p class="MsoNormal">One of her greatest achievement, she feels, is jailing
students and graduates who cannot repay their student loans. “Why are they
being so difficult? All they have to do is ask Daddy to pay off the whole
thing,” said Devos, whose personal holdings include large investments in debt
collection agencies.</p><p class="MsoNormal">She is also extremely pleased with her removal of equal
opportunity protections for students with disabilities, as well as gay
students, transgender students, and children of color. “When I walk into a
class, I want to see the beaming white faces of well-dressed, well-fed children,”
she says. “I want to see a crucifix in every classroom, with ample Jesus time
for prayer and the singing of hymns. But not gospel music. I don’t want
anything suggestive of black culture. I also don’t want to see Black Lives
Matter signs or rainbow flags. If the flag is not red, white, and blue, it does
not belong in the classroom.” (She has made exceptions for confederate and nazi
flags.) </p><p class="MsoNormal">But perhaps her greatest achievement, she said, is
protecting school-age rapists and abusers. “Those poor boys are victimized by
being called rapists by mean girls. Look at what happened to poor Brett
Kavanaugh.”</p><p class="MsoNormal">She continued: “In everything you do, please put students
first. And by students I mean the white able-bodied kids, especially the
christians, and most especially the boys.” Then she flipped a deaf staffer the
bird saying, “Here’s your sign language,” before ending the meeting.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Rumors that Devos has put out a hit on Dr.Jill Biden are
being investigated by the FBI in light of the outgoing Secretary’s recent
comment that she wanted to “scrub the Dr. out of that bitch.” <br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />Career Education Department staffers have reportedly
requested a sage cleansing and multicultural, non-denominational purification
ritual in the department’s offices. </p><p class="MsoNormal">“If I had to grade her, it would be an F-minus,” said a

Can we come and live with you? We are about to be evicted </span><span style="text-align: left;">from the White House, and now our Mar-a-Lago neighbors are telling us we can’t </span><span style="text-align: left;">live there. We can visit, but we can’t actually move in (even though I already </span></span></span><span style="color: #050505;">have a private residence there which they don’t know about).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">First the city of Palm Beach told me I have to remove the helipad by the time I leave office, since it will no longer be used for presidential business, and now this. Yes, I signed an agreement with Palm Beach sometime in the 1990s that gave me the right to turn Mar-a-Lago from a personal residence to a private club, as long as it would never be my personal residence again. But that was a long time ago, and I shouldn’t have to be held to it now. And in order to get my way on something—I forget what— I signed over development rights to the National Trust for Historic Preservation (I must have been high on Adderall when I did that), so now it’s National Historic Landmark that cannot be altered. I’m feeling a little fucked.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mar-a-Lago is a nice little cottage. That’s what they call the big estates down here. Can you believe I bought it for $7 million from the family that owns Post Raisin Bran, Shredded Wheat, and Honey Bunches of Oats ? Never mind, you probably had borscht for breakfast when you were a kid, so those cereals mean nothing to you. But this is interesting: Did you know that Mar-a-Lago is Spanish for The-Rules-Don’t-Apply-To-Me?</p><p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, we want to live there <i>and</i> have it be a club <i>and</i> keep
our helipad <i>and</i> continue to clog up traffic with our limos. We also want to
build a dock since we’ll be there full time. The neighbors are saying no, no,
no—bigly. I mean tremendously bigly. They are filing lawsuits, and their
lawyers actually seem to know what they are doing, plus none of them are
farting or dripping. It would be really embarrassing if the Palm Beach police
had to come in and physically remove us, the way the Secret Service is going to
have to do at the White House.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I know you’re going to ask me why we don’t just live in Trump Tower. New Yorkers hate me and my family, that’s why. (Have you seen the “Ivanka Not Wanted” posters up all over Manhattan? I’m sure you’ve got them on your surveillance.) And they boo me whenever I’m there. I mean, people stand in front of Trump Tower holding giant signs saying nasty things about me. Damn that freedom of speech! One guy shows up regularly with a poster of a giant turd with a little yellow hairdo on top and flies buzzing all around it. That’s supposed to be me. I do not have flies, that I can tell you. (The hair looks good, though.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">There’s also the matter of the 67 indictments that will be
unsealed on January 20. The New York Attorney General wants to bring me to
trial and find me guilty and put me in jail, that I can tell you. So even if jail
solves the problem of where I will live for the next few years, I still need a
place for all my gilded stuff plus Mrs. Robot and the boy—and maybe my other
kids and their families in case New York State goes after them. And people say
I’m not a family man. (Eric and Tiffany don’t have to come.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">I’m guessing we’ll need about 90,000 square feet in the
Kremlin. Melania said that’s 8361 square meters, which doesn’t sound like much,
so maybe a little more. What’s a few more square meters between best friends,
right Vladie? Melania also says to tell you she has the perfect trees to
decorate Red Square.</p><p class="MsoNormal">We can talk about a dacha when I get there.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Your very best friend,

<b>OH, SHIT!</b>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">I was not planning to leave the White House unless the Secret Service dragged
me out, but now that the shit has hit the fan over the cyber attack and "We want them infected," I’m
thinking I should slip out in the middle of the night and not come back. I’m
just not sure where to go. Can I sleep in my golf cart?<br />
<br />
First, about the cyber spying. I know Russia did it. Even the Republicans are
calling it a national defense failure and pointing a finger at Putin. But if I blame Putie, he’ll slip me a
polonium cocktail when I least expect it. You know what they say: It’s not
paranoia if they’re really after you. Even Svetlana, I mean Melania, mocked me
for being so fixated on keeping immigrants out at the Southern border that I
let an entire country in through cyberspace. And to think Putie was holding the
Pee tapes over me. That’s nothing compared to the shit I’m in now. <br />
<br />
Then some reporter found out about my plan to get everyone infected with Covid.
I believe in herd mentality—I mean
immunity—even if the real scientists don’t. So what if my top guy at the CDC used
to run the ferris wheel at a traveling carnival. In a suit he looks like a
doctor. And I believe my "doctors." They tell me what I want to hear. </p><p class="MsoNormal">
And then Pfizer told the fake news press that it has tons of vaccine—millions
of doses—but no one in my administration has told them where to put it. I can
tell them where to put it, believe me. How can we infect everyone if we prevent
them from getting sick in the first place?
I will blame this on Pence. He’s got no future in politics anyway. It’s
back to India for him. I mean Indiana. That’s in the US, right? At least
Indiana won’t try to keep him from living there.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">I am not happy with the press right now, that I can tell you. “We want them infected” is not going to reflect well on me. And I was doing so well as President before then. <br />
At least Joe will inherit these messes. I’m leaving a lot of shit for him. I’m not kidding. Wait until he finds all the dirty Presidential Diapers I left in the Oval Office.</span>

<b>COOCHIE COUP
</b>
I have to hand it to Mike Flynn. He came up with a really good idea to help me overturn the election. I’m going to declare Martian Law. <b>
</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">When those little red aliens land here, they will deploy their Martian ray
guns, seize the voting machines, and bring them to me. Now these are aliens I
like. And they’re not illegal because I’m bringing them in. Let’s see Joe and
Kamala try to fight them off. <br />
<br />
I have already notified Elon Musk to get his rockets ready. Guardians of the
Galaxy—I mean the guardians of Space Force—are standing by. We’re going to pick
up the Martians at the International Space Station and bring them back here. They
will do the rest.<br />
<br />
I haven’t told Rudy yet, but I’m sending him to Mars as our Goodwill Ambassador.
Well, actually we’re sending him in trade. The Martians think he might be a
good source of natural gas. This will also solve his problems with the
investigation into his dealings with Ukraine. You want Rudy? Sorry, he’s on
Mars.<br />
<br />
Oh, wait. It’s going to take them <i>two years</i> to get here? Flynn didn’t say anything about that! I
thought it was going to be a few days at most. That’s not going to work! I want
a swift coup, not a slow train wreck. I need something <i>fast</i> to make up for the
30-plus un-wins I‘ve endured so far. The last thing I want is to look like an
idiot, that I can tell you. Mike Flynn is the idiot! I’m taking back his pardon!
He’s guilty! He even said so. Lock him up! The 2024 election will be gearing up
by the time they get here. We need something now! <br />
<br />
Mitch McConnell suggested a Plan B. I told him it was stupid and called him
stupid, but now I see that his plan just might work. He has a direct line to
the Lizard People.(He’s one of them. Kellyanne, too. Also, Fox News, most of
the Proud Boys, and just about all of those white supremacists. I mean, have
you seen them, the way they flick their tongues? One time Kellyanne lost a
contact and I saw her real eye with the weird shape in the middle.) Anyway, Mitch said he can summon an army of
Lizard People within the week. They can seize the voting machines and I can
change the numbers. No one will mess with them or me. By the time anyone can
contain them, I’ll be sworn in for a second term as the country’s rightful
dictator. I mean, President. The people want me, everyone says so.<br />
<br />
A Lizard People coup is the best news I’ve gotten since I won Alabama!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Melania wants to know if she can skin a few of them. She said she’d like to have a new handbag made and some high heels. Sure, fine. Maybe now she’ll sleep with me. <br />
And considering how ineffective Rudy was in all those court cases—I mean did he win even one of them?—I’m thinking we should send him to Mars anyway. And I do not mean Mars Lighting Industries, which is located in a strip mall between a urologist and a proctologist, even if he is a dick. <br />
At last, victory will be mine!</span><b>

<b>BAH, HUMBUG!</b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I no sooner leave Washington DC than that little weasel at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is celebrated for his birthday with “Dr. Anthony Fauci Day.” When he left his office there was a contingent of First Responders waiting to cheer for him. Who authorized this? Heads will roll when I get back to Washington. If I decide to return, that is.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Where’s my day? I didn’t get anything for my birthday. When a large group like
that gathers for me. it’s because my campaign pays them. <br />
<br />
I am beginning to think people don’t like me.<br />
<br />
And to make matters worse, Santa didn’t bring me what I really wanted which is,
you know, another four years in a job I don’t really want. Also, some jerk at
Mar-a-Lago put a lump of coal in my stocking. I’d fire the entire staff for
this, except that I don’t speak Spanish. Besides, Melania isn’t going to cook
and clean. She can’t do much in those high heels, that I can tell you (although
she can move away from me pretty quickly when Little Donny is in the mood,
believe me). Fortunately, the Colonel delivers, so I’ll never go hungry. <br /><br />And if it gets dirty in my suite, well, there are a lot of room at Mar, believe me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This 2020 was really not a good year for me. And I’m pretty sure 2021 is not going to be so great, either. Melania will divorce me, those New York State indictments are burning a hole in my brain, and Barron speaks to me only in Slovenian. I think he’s telling me to fuck off, but I can’t be sure.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
Well, Merry Christmas to me from me.</p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br />December 31, 2020<br /><b>IT’S BEEN A GREAT YEAR!</b></p><p class="MsoNormal">I like to ring in the new year with a bucket of chicken, a handful of Adderall,
and some porn as I look back on my achievements for the year. This year, as I
prepare for my departure from the White House due to my un-win, I have four
years to reflect on. Oh, I have achieved a tremendous amount, that I can tell
you.<br />
<br />
I drained the swamp. That was huge. Huge! Then I filled it with
extraterrestrial creatures. No other president has ever done that, believe me.
I made many excellent extraterrestrial picks. These are some of the best: Steve
Mnuchin comes from a planet whose people have no faces or vowels. I gave him a
mask to make him look human and added some vowels to his name. He says he’s
still getting used to both. Cruella Devos comes from a planet of Lizard People
who have no education, compassion, or eyebrows. She maintains the traditions of
her home planet. Wilbur Ross was traded for a can of Campbell’s soup by his
people, a race of ancient dinosaur-like creatures who travel the galaxy in
search of groceries. Mike Pompeo and Billy Barr came here from a gaseous
anomaly far out in space.<br />
<br />
Since I believe in equal rights, I made sure to include subterranean creatures
as well. Brett Kavanaugh and Nikki Haley are the only two willing to go on
record as having hatched from locusts, but I can tell you that there are others
quite at home in the swamp. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue began life under
a pile of cow manure. I can’t take credit for Mitch McConnell, however I can
tell you that he is descended from a family of radioactive turtles. And I know
for a fact that Jeff Sessions lives in the trunk of a tree. He says he’s from a
marsh, not a swamp, but that’s just splitting hairs. (Not that I know anything
about splitting hairs. I’m more into weaving and gluing.)<br />
<br />
People say my administration is not diverse, but in addition to the
extraterrestrials and the subterraneans, I have also given time to the nearly
dead and the undead. Ben Carson’s life signs are so low that doctors can’t tell
if he’s still alive or has crossed over. Nice guy, though. Quiet. In the undead
category is my son in law, Jared. He claims he’s not undead, just slender and
devoid of facial hair, but Ivanka has confirmed otherwise. I asked her about
sex. I mean, I asked her if she had sex with Jared and she said no, that what
she really gets off on is power. (That’s my girl!) Since she’s going to be
stuck in Florida—New Yorkers have told her to stay away—she’s planning to run
for Governor. Wait until that brownnose, Ron DeSanctimonius, finds out. He will
shit his pants. (Hey, Ron, I have a supply of Presidential Diapers that I can
let you have at a discount. That's as close to the presidency as you’ll ever
get.)<br />
<br />
Also in the never-gonna-be-president category is that little rodent senator
from Missouri, Josh Hawley. He says he’s going to object to the certification
of my Electoral College votes, but it’s not me he cares about. He’s just trying
to raise his profile. Just you wait, he’s going to run for president in 2024.
Out of my way, Frat Boy.<br />
<br />
But I’m diverting, or is it degreasing, from my achievements. In the vampire
and religion category, I made some very good choices. My personal attorney,
Rudy Giuliani, is a top-of-the-line vampire. The best. Have you seen him ooze?
Tremendously oozy, that I can tell you. Rudy claims he’s not a vampire, but he
naps upside down in a closet inside the Oval Office. He can sleep through
anything. Kayleigh McEnany found him one time and claims she fell in love with
him on the spot. They’re now an item. She’s a little rat, so I guess it will be
a mixed marriage. She’ll be Rudy’s fourth wife, if you include the first
marriage to his cousin, which was annulled after 14 years. (Those Catholics,
you’ve got to hand it to them. They know how to pretend stuff never happened.)<br />
<br />
Stephen Miller is my other vampire, although he prefers the term “satanic
intercessor.” He’s the one who convinced me to put those kids in cages, but now
that he’s got a kid of his own, he’s had a change of heart. Just kidding. He
makes his baby sleep in a toolbox.<br />
<br />
As for religion, Amy Coney Barrett was tops on my list for the Supreme Court. I
didn’t know her from Adam, or should I say Eve, but my advisers said she was
the christian-est. She’s from a sect that’s even more christian than the Pope.
She has a direct line to god. Mike Pence and Mother are very uncomfortable
around her because they feel they have the direct line to god. (I mean, Pence
actually gave up his penis for Jesus.) And my personal pastor—what’s her name,
I forget, the loud blond with the tight clothes—says that she has the direct
line to god. With all those people calling, you’d think they’d all get busy
signals.<br />
<br />
I have many, many more achievements, believe me, but my chicken is getting
cold.<br />
<br />
BTW, I said I was preparing for my departure from the White House. I lied. Just
as soon as I finish this bucket of chicken I am going to Super Glue myself to a
wall in the Oval Office. That’s Vladie’s idea. He said that way, if they try to
remove me, the whole building will come down. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal">January 2, 2021<br /><b>ERIC TRUMP, PARTY REPORTER</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Big shindig at Mar-a-Lago: My Dad’s New Year’s Eve Party. It
had everything: Vanilla Ice, Rudy Giuliani, Judge Jeannine Pirro, Matt Gaetz—A listers,
every one of them—plus Tiffany, and the greatest assortment of silicone breasts
east of the Hollywood sign. (Don’t tell Lara I said that.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">Everyone was tanned, so we didn’t need any people of actual color. Well, except
for the servants.<br />
<br />
Five hundred people showed up. Everyone was dressed to the nines. I don’t know where
that expression comes from, because I saw a lot of 10s. All the men looked handsome in tuxes accompanied
by their young wives with blond hair, cleavage, and see-through dresses slit up
to there. I can’t wait to have a trophy wife of my own, but Dad says I’m not
old enough yet. (Also, Lara would kill me.)<br />
<br />
My bro, Don Jr., was there with his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle. I’m no
makeup expert, but if she wears any more eye makeup, gravity being what it is, she’s
going to fall forward right on her face. I hope that mascara is smudge proof.<br />
<br />
Oh, here I am talking about mascara when there was some really big news: Matt Gaetz,
our Florida representative, got engaged to his girlfriend, Ginger Luckey.
Luckey guy! (See how I made a pun there?) I love it when heterosexuality is on
display like that. She’ll be his starter wife.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The ballroom was huge (Ha, I sound like Dad) and nicely
decorated with phalaenopsis and gardenias. I sure hope the florists get paid. And
there was tons of food. The menu consisted of, and I’m quoting, “Mr.Trump’s
wedge salad” (did his own club just demote him from President?!), plus cheese
tortellini, and wagyu beef. “(Wagyu beef” sounds like something I do by myself,
but turns out it’s just steak). As usual, the men all chowed down and the women
just looked at the food. There was one brave woman with a plate holding three
tortellini. I overheard her telling a
friend, “I am going to have to work out for 16 hours tomorrow to make up for this.” </p><p class="MsoNormal">There was not a mask in sight because. Hey, we’re rich. We don’t get Covid. And
there was a no show: my Dad. He and Melania decided to skip the party and fly
back to the White House. I’d call him a party pooper, but he gets really upset
when we mention anything to do with Number Two. When his term ends he will no longer
have access to the diapers with the Presidential Seal and will have to switch
to regular Depends—though I understand Melania is having some gold trimmed so
that the transition is not too traumatic for him. (I sure hope the leaky poop
hole thing is not genetic.)<br />
<br />
But back to the no-shows. You know who else wasn’t there? All the folks from
his base, the ones who sent him money. Suckers. They paid for the party and didn’t
even get to come.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal">January 3, 2021<br /><b>RIFFING ON RAFF</b><br /><br />I just wanted to find 11,780 votes. That’s all I wanted.</p><p class="MsoNormal">

State, for not helping. I flattered the bastard. I cajoled him. I even begged
him. And, believe me, it is not pretty when I beg. Just ask Melania.<br />
<br />
Then I tried threats. I told him: You’re off by hundreds of thousands of votes.
You’re going to have to reexamine the votes with people who want me to win, because people have been sent off to the
Gulag for less than that, believe me. (Vladie told me to say that.) </p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">The only thing I didn’t try was bribery, because I know someone
is going to say that’s illegal—even though I don’t think it is. I mean I can
buy everything else I want. (Well, I order it but I don’t actually pay for it.
Just ask all those small businesses in New Jersey that went under when I didn’t
pay them for work they did on my casinos.) So it's not bribery if you don't actually pay.<br />
<br />
The people of Georgia are angry about Joe’s win. That’s what I told Mr. Riff-Raff.
And by “people of Georgia” I mean me. Screw Democracy. I’m the President. I
need those votes so that I can win fair and square. <br />

Fish do not run governments—although I do have a spineless jelly as a vice
president and a few sharks in Congress. Now let me speak to your Prime

your passport. And if you so much as look funny at anyone in my office I will
have them beat you to a bloody pulp with your own clubs. Now go change your

yesterday! First Twitter and Facebook locked me out of my accounts. Me, the
president! Twitter even said it would block me permanently if I kept posting inflammatory comments about voter fraud. I'm not sure why they called my comments "inflammatory," because that's what happens when my STDs flare up, and voter fraud has nothing to do with herpes, that I can tell you.<br /><br />Then YouTub pulled one of my videos down, the one where I said
I won by a landslide. Well, I did, but You Tub says I didn’t. They’re not the
boss of me. Oh, did I say “YouTub”? I’m sorry, I meant YouTube. (“You
Tub” is what Melania calls me.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">Anyway it was not a good day.<br />
<br />
Then I heard that the Republicans lost the Senate. Hey, it’s right where they
left it. (Bada boom! When this is all over, I am going to get NBC to give me a
comedy show. It will be tremendous, believe me. Tremendous. I haven’t come up
with a name yet, but our tag line will be “You’re hilarious.” Because I am a
joke, everyone says so.)<br />
<br />
I should be angry about the Republicans losing Georgia, but that state cheated
me out of the presidency, so I don’t really care. The whole party cheated me.
Except for Ted Cruz, and who cares about him. His father
killed JFK, and his wife is ugly. So losing serves them right. They did not
support me the way they should have. Even Mitch McConnell and Miss Lindsey
Graham, the Laurel and Hardy of the Senate, both said Joe is the rightful
president! I am so pissed off that I’ve been going through my Presidential
Diapers like dyarea on speed. I know I didn’t spell diareeha right, but I just
don’t give a shit. See what I did there? I am getting very good with the
Presidential Puns. (OK, ready? “You’re hilarious!”)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Something else happened
yesterday. I can’t think of it, but it was on TV. Oh, right, a few of my
followers invaded the Capitol. I loved it! They do whatever I tell them. I was
able to sit on the toilet and watch them on TV. They broke windows and doors,
scaled the walls, and waved confederate flags in the halls of Congress. What a
show! I love them! They’re very special! There was even a Viking. Take that, Village People, who wouldn't let me use their music at my rallies. And the looting. They did me proud, because wait until you see what I'll do when I leave here. <br /><br />They also climbed all over the
scaffolding that whats-his-name is going to use for his waddayacallit, the
thing that happens on January 20 that I won’t be attending. Some fake
news person on TV called my followers “insurgents,” but I don’t see what
laundry soap has to do with demonstrations. Fake news! Fake news! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">People are now calling for me to be removed from office. Yeah,
right. I was impeached and nothing happened. I’m not worried. You have to be
mentally ill to be removed. Besides in two weeks, the Secret Service will hit
me with a tranquilizer dart and carry me out anyway. Then I can become a
full-time comic.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">OK, I’m going to
rehearse my act now. What do you think of this one: A guy walks into a bar. But
the bar is so low he trips over it. <br />
<br />
Wait, here’s another one: I just flew back from golfing at Mar-a-Lago
and, boy, are my arms tired. Get it? My arms are tired from golfing, not from flying, because I fly on Air
Force One. I love sophisticated comedy. <br />
<br />
OK, one more: I’m going to market a breakfast cereal just for racist white
people. I’m calling it Special KKK. <br />
<br />
Wow, I am on fire! And I don’t mean my pants. The Adderall is really kicking in
now. I love this feeling. It’s like I could do anything: ruin the post office,
put children in cages, get people to invade the Capitol. When you’re the president people let you do it
all.<br /><br />I may tell my detergents to stand back and stand by. All that rioting is bad for my brand. Besides, I have m y Jewish daughter to fight the fight for me. She called the guy wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" t-shirt a patriot.<br />
<br />And Melania just texted me a good name for my comedy show. I love it. She may not
sleep with me anymore, but she does have a way with words, that I will tell

capitol. We had half a dozen big screens tuned to different channels. It was
tremendous. Tremendous! <br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t want the public to know, because they go crazy
whenever I do something big like this, but Junior recorded and posted it on
social media, so I said that, yes, I did bring together members of my family
and a few senior staffers. The “official” word is that is was not a party but a
gathering to monitor the event and then to pray over the loss of life, but
between you and I, it was to cheer on the insurrection. Death to Democracy!
(Vladie said he’s going to teach me to say that in Russian.) </p><p class="MsoNormal">That will teach the Republican Party to lose my winning
votes. Yes, I lost the election, I admit it (only to me) but Mitch the Bitch
lost his mojo. He’s now Number 2, and by #2 you know what I mean. Total dookie. </p><p class="MsoNormal">But back to the watch party. </p><p class="MsoNormal">“I can’t believe the size of the crowd I’m seeing—all
patriots who are sick of the bullshit,” said Junior. He actually believes that.
What a dope. Even I know those people are losers--low class, very low class,
believe me--but they’re useful to me, so I said what I had to say. I told them
I loved them and that they were special. (That Viking, he’s really special. I
heard he recently learned to tie his shoes.) </p><p class="MsoNormal">Junior asked me to tell him that I loved him and that he was
special. That boy needs constant validation and attention. I don’t know where
he gets that from. What a loser. He doesn’t know this, but when the Feds come
after me for this, I am throwing him under the bus. I will tell them that
inviting my confederate followers was all his idea. </p><p class="MsoNormal">And I will tell them that his girlfriend, Kimberly
Guilfoyle, egged him on. She’s a bigmouth, that I can tell you. “Have the
courage to do the right thing. Fight!” she yelled into Junior’s iPhoneas he was
recording, but then she went back to dancing. You can’t really fight in high
heels. She’s going to feel like a real dope when Junior dumps her for someone
younger. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The smart one, Ivanka, stood right by my side the entire
time. She’s my adviser. She’s the one who looked at a greasy guy wearing a
“Camp Auschwitz” t-shirt and said, “What a patriot.” She can't wait to be
President. And we all cheered when that KKKer took over Pelosi’s office.
Someone, I don’t remember who, pointed out that with such clear photos of the
insurgents, I mean orderly protesters, the FBI would be able to identify and
arrest them, and charge them with trespassing, vandalism, and maybe even
murder. Everyone got quiet after that. But then I said, “Don’t worry. I’ll
pardon them.” We went back to cheering on our patriots to the sound of
battering rams and glass breaking. </p><p class="MsoNormal">People are saying that I should personally pay for the
destruction, but I pay for nothing. The taxpayers will foot this bill. And I am
not a taxpayer, that I can tell you. </p><p class="MsoNormal">And where was Eric, you ask? To that I would answer, “Eric
who?” </p><p class="MsoNormal">All in all, it was a tremendous event. The news
channels—even the Fake News ones—have been covering it non-stop. I love the
attention. I just wish I could Tweet about it. </p><p class="MsoNormal">One sad note: I offer my condolences to the fellow who
tasered his scrotum with the weapon he had in his pocket. The shock was so
great he had a heart attack. Poor man died for his country. And now he will be
buried without his balls. Sad.</p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .<br /><br />January 12<br /><b>INSURRECTION A LA CARTE</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>To:</b> Outgoing president, Donald Trump<br /><b>

Adam Christian Johnson, who was photographed carrying out Pelosi’s lectern, is
being held Florida’s Pinellas County

wink-winked, so we are not sure if it is actual reptile sausage or the male
portion of the animal’s anatomy. He explained that he needs it to keep his
energy “up.” (He used air quotes when saying the word “up.” We are trying to
figure out how to proceed. In the meantime, he is getting Jimmy Dean Sausage.) <br /><br />
Richard Barnett, the 60-year-old from

locked me out, so I am yelling at the TV. Also, I peed on the curtains, but now
it smells in the royal apartment, so maybe that was not the smartest thing. <br />
<br />
I can’t believe I was impeached again. Me! There was a time I could have shot
someone on Fifth Avenue and gotten away with it. Now I didn’t do anything at
all and I got impeached. This time I think it’s more serious. I may lose all
the post-Presidency benefits I’m supposed to get: a pension, health care, a
travel allowance, and 72 dancing virgins. And here I was planning to trade in
Melania for those girls.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
I wonder if anyone believed me when I made a video. What an acting job—tremendous,
that I can tell you. I said: “Mob violence goes against everything I believe
in. No true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence. If you do
any of these things, you are not supporting our movement.” Do you think anyone
could tell I was faking it? I learned how to fake it from Stormy. And Melania. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Now those low-class suckers are mad at me because I refudiated them.
Yes, I was the one who invited them to Washington and cheered them on when they
destroyed the Capitol and killed people, that is true. I don’t think they’ll come
after me, though. For one thing, most of them are in jail or will be. Besides, I
can use Mike Pence as a human shield, even if he’s not quite human.<br />
<br />
Speaking of not quite human, I just found out that Melania has been moving our
stuff out of the White House for the past few weeks. Well, maybe just her
stuff. I also found out that she’s changing her name back to Knavs.<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #050505;"> I also found out that she’s changing
her name back to Knavs and is practicing her American accent by saying,
"Donald who?"</span> <br />
<br />
I will say this: That insurrection was as as close to an erection as I’ve had
since Stormy. And it felt just as good, too, believe me. Well, OK, I was
jerking off as I watched the videos of all the damage. Ooh, those battering
rams banging down the doors of the Capitol! I’m getting excited just thinking
about it.<br />
<br />
Speaking of erections, Ivanka is mad at me. She said I have ruined her chances
for the Presidency and that the Trump name is now “worse than mud.” She’s changing
it to<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #202124;"> her mother’s maiden
name, Zelníčková</span>. I suggested that Kushner might sound a bit less, you
know, foreign, but she yelled, “You change yours to Kushner!” She’s even
planning to attend the inauguration. She has refudiated me! The next thing you
know she’ll be trying to ingrate herself with Kamala and Jill. She certainly doesn’t
want to be seen with Bison Man’s mother, that I can tell you. <br />
<br />
Don Jr. is thrilled at my feud with Ivanka, because he thinks he will be able
to replace her in my affections. That’s ridiculous. I don’t want to sleep with
him!<span style="color: #202124;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

thing for me: I want a horse head in the bed of every Republican who voted to
impeach me. </p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal">January 20.<br /><b>MELANIA LEAVES A NOTE FOR DR. JILL</b><br /><br />Dear Doctor Jill,</p><p class="MsoNormal">
Welcome to White House. I write this without Donald see, so I make short. (I
would write in one of other 15 languages I speak fluently, but you would not
understand even if you are Doctor and I am not.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">
First Lady bedroom is far, far away from President bedroom, on another floor.
There is good lock on door. Big closets for clothes and thigh-high boots. You
will like. There is glam room for daily hair and makeup and next to it a gym
with Pilates. Trainer can come and you can have sex with him and President will
not know.<br />
<br />
In President bedroom there is supply of gold-trimmed Presidential diapers in
case Joe need. You may want to replace the toilet in his bedroom, because Donald
fat ass have sat on it for many hours of Presidency. Mattress, too. He eat in
bed and everything greasy from fried chicken.<br />
<br />
Some suggestions:<br />
. Do not use Michelle Obama speeches<br />. Be careful what your clothes say. It is true I did not
care, but I should not have put it on jacket<br />.The higher your heels, the more they sink into White House Lawn<br />. Blood-red Christmas trees are in White House basement<br />. Donald have hidden his dirty diapers all over bedroom and Oval Office. He call
them “easter eggs.” Staff have found most of them, but make sure Joe know <br />. Ivanka will keep trying to get into Oval Office to use phone to discuss
issues with world leaders<br />. If you pretend to like your husband you will end up with
big alimony<br />. Be Best</p><p class="MsoNormal">Melania <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal">January 20<br /><b>OFF TO FLORIDA</b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Well, I held on for as long as I could—longer than I thought possible thanks to
my Q-Tip friends who threatened to kill Senators who opposed me. But now that
my furniture has arrived in Florida and whatshisname has taken the oath of
office, I am officially no longer President.<br />
<br />
In my mind I will always be President—aka Mr. President, aka King Donald, aka
Emperor of the Confederacy. I might still be Emperor of the Confederacy if my
constituents keep supporting me. I am thinking of starting my own party, the
Patriot Party. I would run for President again. It would be tremendous, that I
can tell you.<br />
<br />
We might even be able to make our own state. If Washington, D.C. can be considered
for statehood, then the Patriot Party should have its own state, too. Junior
says we should call it Siege, but I’m leaning toward something classier, like
The Commonwealth of Trumpland. We’d carve it out of Texas. If I promise Ted Cruz
a lifetime Senate seat from Trumpland, I think I can get him to support me on it. The only problem is that my
confederate followers are so low class they make me look bad. Ivanka hates them.
She has been trying her whole life to look smart and upper class and then they
come along with their body paint, spears, and horns and—in her words—“taint” the
family name. (I wonder why the smart people are not part of my base.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">
I had hoped for a big military sendoff—a tremendously big one with marching
bands and tanks and a flyover with thousands of jets trailing streams of red,
white and blue, plus big-breasted blonds on a float showing cleavage, lots of
cleavage—but the Pentagon said no. If I were still President I would fire all
of them, that I can tell you. I think it was the insurrection that changed
their mind. Jeez, a few killings and some smash-and-grabs and they shut me
down. That is not fair! </p><p class="MsoNormal">So I did the next best thing: I had my own sendoff. I
invited everyone I ever hired, fired, cheated, bilked, or screwed, and I asked
them to each bring five friends. Some of them, like Cruz and Steven Miller, don’t
have any friends. I invited hundreds of service members to attend. Since I was
still the President at that point, it was an invitation they couldn’t refuse.
It was way better than Obama’s departure, and I heard it was way better than
Biden’s little inauguration. There were millions of people to see me off at
7:15 am in the below-freezing weather, maybe 10 million. They love me. I didn’t
see much press, though. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Then it was off to Florida.<br />
<br />
I’ll tell you one thing: I’ll miss my place in Trump Tower. The gold, I love
that gold! And the views. But New
Yorkers hate me. Also, I am not so keen on having to walk into Trump Tower every
day past some jerk holding a big sign with me as a turd. Lock him up! If I
weren’t so great I would take it personally. There was a time I could have
killed someone on Fifth Avenue and gotten away with it. The good old days. In
Palm Beach I don’t think I could even kick someone and get away with it. The Palm
Beach watch group has its eyes on me. And they’re Republicans! </p><p class="MsoNormal">By the way, I made a tremendous splash with the Presidential
Pardons. Tremendous, everyone says so. I pardoned 73 people and commuted the
sentences of 70 other. Steve Bannon was tops on my list. Yes, he is a festering
bag of pus—just look at him--but he loves me. I also pardoned people who were
convicted of health care fraud, bribery, wire fraud, tax fraud, securities
fraud, insider trading, wild-life trafficking, impeding grand jury
investigations, bank robbery, selling tainted beef, and conspiracy to murder—all
the best people! I pardoned Jared’s best
friend, who cyberstalked his wife during a divorce. Lil Wayne, the rapper, was
on my list, too. He loves me. <br />
<br />
You know who I didn’t pardon? The Organic Viking and his marauders. I know I
invited them to Washington, but they embarrassed me with their actions. How
could I have known that if I incited violence they would trash the Capitol? Not
my fault. <br />
<br />
The pardons that will get me into heaven are the non-violent drug offenders who
are serving long sentences.</p><p class="MsoNormal">What’s next for us now, you ask?<br />
<br />
Melania will be divorcing me. I knew that was coming. It was written into the
revised prenup. She has a new slogan: Best Be Gone. I’m thinking of calling
Stormy. She said I was the best sex she ever had. Oh, wait, that was Marla.
Maybe I’ll try Tinder. How does it work? Do I write a profile? I will describe myself as “50-something, a
great golfer with billionaire bod and bank account.” And can I say that I’m
looking for a “20-something supermodel type, blond with long legs and big
breasts. English and green card a plus.” I could reasonably accept a woman up
to 25, maybe 26 or 27 if she’s really smokin. By the time she ages out I’ll be
dead anyway. The women love me, that I can tell you.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
Ivanka will have more plastic surgery. She feels the stress of four years as
President has aged her. And she has talked Jared into getting an implant that
makes him appear more human. <br />
<br />
Junior say he wants to get as far away from D.C. as possible. He was looking
for a place in Jupiter. That seems a bit extreme. The commute is seven years
each way. Oh, wait, Barron tells me that it’s Jupiter, Florida, where Don wants
to live. That makes more sense. </p><p class="MsoNormal">And what about that Barron? Smart just like his dad. Taller
than me already, and I’m six-five.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
Eric does whatever his wife tells him to do. Lara is a smart cookie, but not
smart enough to find someone smarter than Eric. I don’t know what they’ll be
doing. <br />
<br />
One thing I will tell you: Do not call me a retiree. I still have my businesses
to run into the ground. And I took on another job as well. I’m excited about it
bigly. </p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">I am going to be Florida Man.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal">February 7, 2021<br /><b>WHAT A TURN OFF!</b> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I have been screaming at Fox News but no one there will take
my calls. My Tweets aren’t going through. Ivanka is not returning my texts.
And, of course, Melania gives me the side eye whenever I get within 20 feet of
her, which is not often, because she is living in the guest apartment with Barron
and someone she calls “Barron’s school chum.” I think something is going on. This
“friend” has a mustache and he and Melania seem very chummy if you ask me.<br />
<br />
Oh, it gets worse. When I called Vladie, he said, “I’m sorry I can’t talk now.
I’m going through tunnel,” and then the call ended. The next time I called,
someone with a high-pitched voice said, “Vladie? I’m sorry you have wrong
number.” I tried Face Timing him, but the call wouldn’t go through. I’m beginning to think he's two-timing me. We had the greatest bromance of all
time, that I can tell you.<br />
<br />
I even called Joe Biden, because I figured he’d take my call. I said, “Hey,
Joe, it’s me, President Trump.” He said, “Is this a joke?” I yelled at him so
that he would know it was really me. He shouted, “Shut up, man,” and then hung
up.<br />
<br />
When Kamala called back—or maybe it was Jill, I couldn’t tell—I shit my diaper
a little. Whoever it was, she said, “If you bother us again, I will take Air
Force One down to Mar-a-Lago and cut off your balls.” But the joke’s on her. Marla got my balls in
her divorce agreement.” </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank god Marjorie Taylor Greene loves me. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Sure she’s got a horse face and I would never sleep with
her, but she’s blond and she worships me. And she carries a gun. Get rid of
that stupid elephant. She is the face of Trump’s Republican Party. (She had me
with Jewish Space Lasers, but I didn’t have the nerve to say that. Ivanka would
have killed me.) </p><p class="MsoNormal">I had thought the face of the Trump Party would be the
Viking—I liked the visuals, so manly—but then his mother demanded organic food
for him in jail. What a wuss. I’m glad I didn’t pardon him. KFC is not good
enough for him?<br />
<br />
So here I am in my extra-large suit in my extra-large suite in Mar-a-Lago with
the neighbors throwing pebbles at the window all hours of the day and night.
They really don’t want me here. I would resign from them in a minute, the way I
did from the Screen Actor’s Guild, but I need to live somewhere. People think I
used the Presidential seal on my letter to them, but I faked them out. My eagle
is holding arrows and swastikas. No olive branch for me, that I can tell you. </p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Mar-a-Lago has enough gold and crystal to make me feel at
home, like at Trump Tower, even though the help speaks Spanish and the alligators
on the golf course scare the crap out of me.<br />
<br />
There is one big problem, though. Since the election, members have been leaving
the club. With fewer dues-paying members, money is getting tight. Florida Power
and Light said that if I don’t pay the bill, the electricity will be shut off. Me,
the most powerful man in the world, and I won’t even be able to turn on the TV
to yell at Fox News.</p><p class="MsoNormal">. . . . .</p><p class="MsoNormal">February 9, 2021<br /><b>IVANKA'S BIG PLANS</b><br /><br />Well now that Daddy has been sent off with the full honors

expect.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I know the RNC would like me to dip my Ivanka Trump ™ open-toed pumps slowly
into the political waters, like running against Marco Rubio in Florida, my new home

President. He is as qualified for the job as I am to be president. I would like
Marjorie Taylor Green to be my Chief of Staff. I know, she’s uncouth, the
complete opposite of me, but she will make my staff do what I want. I mean, she
carries a gun. And when the ultra-right-wing hordes come for me, she will
protect me from them.(Just as long as I don’t have to socialize with her.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">But I want to empower women, so my Cabinet will be full of the most talented women
I know. Jeannine Pirro will be a great Attorney General. She was a strong
supporter of my father, and I’m sure she will be of me, too. Maria Bartiromo
will be Secretary of the Treasury, because no one knows more about money and
softballing the President in interviews. I will tap Liz Cheney as the Secretary
of Transportation, because she has plenty of experience being run out of town
on a rail. (Daddy is not too happy about that choice.) Cinde Hyde-Smith, that rabidly anti-abortion
Senator from Mississippi, will make a great Health and Human Services Secretary.
<br />
<br />

she’s the smartest Trump has suggested “Daring, Unbeatable, a Mother, and

HAM </b><br /><br />Alexander Hamilton here. I have been spinning so fast in my
grave that I actually unscrewed myself right out of the ground. Forgive me if I
look a bit worse for wear. It has been a while since I’ve seen the light of
day. I see that my clothing is hopelessly out of date. Your hooded garments,
denim trousers, and soft-soled shoes, while not befitting a stateman, do
nonetheless appear quite comfortable. I am puzzled, however, by the Viking
attire, which predates me by some centuries.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
I have been keenly following the doings
of that bloviating sack of excrement who cheated his way into the Presidency
and then sought to do the same for a second term. I have trouble saying the
name of this Neanderthal, your 45<sup>th</sup> “President.” This single syllable does not roll off the
tongue, but rather lodges itself in the glottis, as if one were trying to cough
up a wad of phlegm. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The original family name is only slightly less difficult to
pronounce, but I can write it. (I like these writing implements you have, with
their self-contained ink.) There was a Drumpf family from Bavaria, known to the
colonists as cheaters and swindlers, who were turned away multiple times from
our shores. And yet one member of the family, a young man named Friedrich, made
it through in the early 1900s without papers and went on to become a pimp in
Alaska. (I may be dead, but I keep up with history.) This Freidrich Drumpf embodies
the exception that proves the rule, as he was one immigrant who did nothing
constructive. Worse, he spawned a son who proved to be worse than himself, and
that son in turn spawned a creature yet lower.<br />
<br />
Friedrich Drumpf should have been banished back to Germany, but Germany would
not accept him on return. The entire Drumpf line is thus tainted. And now your
former President, Donald, and his greedy offspring have dishonored the
Constitution with their grift and disregard for decency. I would challenge the
patriarch to a duel, but I do not know how to wield a golf club. </p><p class="MsoNormal">(And I thought I thought Burr was a scoundrel.)<br />
<br />
What I was not prepared for, however, is the complicity of your entire
Republican party. Are they all descendants of Thomas Jefferson? The hypocrisy! I
would have thought that in almost 250 years the government would have learned a
few things. Sadly, history does not so much repeat itself as continually
regurgitate. However, I do like your JFK, even if he was a womanizer (I know
something about that), and your Barack Obama, who is as honorable a man as one
would meet. I also like your 46<sup>th</sup> President, Joe Biden, though a bit
long in the tooth. Kamala Harris gives me hope for the future of the country; I
should like a correspondence with her.<br />

deep shit.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
All I needed was 11,780 votes to win. Oh, I know I didn’t have them, but I
thought that if I threatened Raffensperger he would “find” them and I would win
the election. I mean he is a Republican. And he even voted for me (he says), so
I naturally assumed he’d do anything for me. How was I to know that the guy has
scruples and that Georgia is one state that has the right to tape phone calls
without letting the other party know. Republicans don’t have scruples, that I
can tell you. (And besides, it’s not a party without urinating Russian models
and a lot of Adderall.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">
First of all, I should have said I needed 11,782 votes, just in case Joe upped
the ante and sked for 11, 781 votes. But I didn’t want to look like I was
cheating. I just needed enough to win. (Note to self: Next time, go whole hog.
And while you’re at it, put a pig head in Raffensperger’s bed.)</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">
Even Brian Kemp, the Governor of Georgia, said that my demand would
“disenfranchise millions of Georgia voters.” Well, he should know. He cheated Stacey Abrams
out of the gubernatorial election. What a hypocrite!<br />
<br />
So now, the Fulton County DA, Fani Willis is going to opening investigation
into my actions using those tapes as a starting point. First of all, “Fanny.”
Ha ha! Second of all, the tapes. Oh oh.
Fulton County’s Grand Jury will convene in March. I could be indicted for a
felony, and a felony conviction could lead to jail time. Can Lady Lindsey, Hairy Ted (with the ugly
wife), Josh Hawley (with the ugly life) be on my jury? All I need are seven
Trump Republicans and I win. So, let’s see, I’ll also need Kevin McCarthy, Rand
Paul, Mitch McConnell and maybe a woman senator—but someone good looking,
preferably blond with big breasts. Like
Ivanka, although no one is as good looking as Ivanka,. Everyone says so.<br />

I will invite them to Mar-a-Lago and ask them in person. No more taped

From: Your Legal Team, the attorneys of Arma, Farkhue, Goode<br />
Re: Recap of Strategy for your Impeachment Defense<br /><br />Following our less-than-stellar presentation on Day One of
the, er, proceedings, we have restrategized and come up with an entirely new
plan.(Apologies, sir. After the Impeachment is concluded, we will deliver Atty.
Castor to the Proud Boys who are standing back and standing by to receive him.)</p><p class="MsoNormal">
We had initially expected to use the “I-didn’t-do it” defense, but given so
much video evidence to the contrary—which we could not possibly have foreseen
until the Democrats made their presentation—we pivoted to the “She-started-it”
defense. This would have allowed us to effectively blame Hillary Clinton for
the insurrection. She has proved to be such a strong, all-purpose scapegoat for
Republican dissatisfaction, that we felt it would be <i>sine mente,</i> or as
you say in non-legal terms, a no-brainer. <br />
<br />
Then we realized that you, in your brilliance, Mr. President, offered the best
strategy of all, something you used to great effectiveness in your debates
against Mrs.Clinton. We’re calling it the “I’m-not-a-puppet-you’re-the-puppet”
strategy. Whatever they blame you for, Mrs. President, we will blame them.<br />
<br />
This is related to, but is a more effectively concise tactic than, the “I’m
rubber-you’re-glue-whatever-you-say-to-me-bounces-off-and-sticks-to-you.” Plus
it allows us to present our case in under three hours to fit the window of your
attention span.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">
We will start by refuting the constitutionality of the proceeding. Yes, we
know, it was already decided that the proceedings could go forward, but we
wanted to cover all court bases. This, in legalese, is known as the “Throw-it-all-against-the-wall-to-see-what-sticks”
defense. Legal scholars know it as </span><i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(248, 249, 250); color: #202124;">Omne quod muro deiecit
videre multitudinem.<br />
</span></i><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(248, 249, 250); color: #202124;"><br />
Then, we'll go full "I'm-rubber-you're-glue," using as much obfuscation (that means making it unclear, Mr. President), untruth, and misdirection as possible. </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(248, 249, 250); color: #202124;">In our summation we will claim that it is your First Amendment right to
say anything with no consequence. At that point, we will yell, “Gas! I smell
gas! Everybody out!.” It is our strategy that enough Democratic Senators will
be trampled to death that there will be no one to vote against you, because you
know the Republicans are standing back and standing by with an acquittal.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(248, 249, 250); color: #202124;">. . . . .</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(248, 249, 250); color: #202124;">February 17, 2021<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><b>(NOT) GUILTY</b></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’m the Teflon Don.

have them burned. “What are you, dog?” she shouted at me. “Bad dog. Bad, bad

she put a collar around my neck,. I thought we were going to have some kinky
sex. I mean, I was expecting the best sex I’ve ever had—woof, woof!—but she
chained me to the bedpost and left. I really don’t know why she was so mad
about the curtains. I mean, she doesn’t even sleep in the room. She’s pissed at
me for something, that I can tell you.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The maid had to call a locksmith to free me. Now I hear the
help talking behind my back in Spanish. “Estupido volvió a orinar en las

good looking, she’s crazy not to sleep with him,” but I’m not sure.</p><p class="MsoNormal">But back to my acquittal. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Mitch McConnell—the guy with no chin, two faces, and a forked tongue—votes to
acquit and then tells the entire world that I’m guilty. He even suggested that
the Department of Justice should pursue a case. What the hell? I don’t know
whether to kiss him or put out contract on him. Maybe I’ll do both—one for each
face.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ivanka says I shouldn’t get too excited about the acquittal because New York,
Georgia, and maybe Michigan are preparing indictments. (Even she is looking
over her shoulder, because all those millions she and Jared made while she was
Assistant President, well, even I don’t know how they made them.) <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’m running out of lawyers. I guess I’m going to have to use
the same ones from the impeachment, and you know what that means. I’m going to
have to pay them for their impeachment work before they take on another case
for me. <br />
<br />
Ivanka hit the roof when she found out that I found Vander Beek online. “Daddy,
he’s an ambulance chaser!” she yelled at me. (I hate when her real voice comes
out. It’s whiny and high pitched. Not sexy at all.) Little does she know that
his specialty is defending child pornographers. She’s afraid that these “low
lifes”—her words, and she was including Rudy—will reflect badly on her when
she runs for President in 2024. I think
she peed on her own curtains when she learned that Nikki Haley is probably
going to run, too. “But I’m taller and prettier and smarter,” right Daddy?” Of
course I say yes. I don’t want to sleep with Nikki Haley, that I can tell you.<br /><br />Rudy, by the way, has been calling me incessantly for his
money. The man shrieks into the phone. I keep telling him I just wired the
money to his bank. And then he calls back to shriek that it’s not there yet. My
bad, I sent it to the First National Bank of Sit on This. He can go ahead and
sue me. Since he has never won a case for me, I don’t imagine he’d win that
one. Because I am, what? The Gilded Teflon Don!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>Well, until the next subpoena comes, I’m going to go golf

Let me share some installation images with you, provided by the gallery, and my catalog essay, which I have illustrated here with the artists' submission photos. </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #999999;">If you can't visit the show, you can see the </span><a href="https://issuu.com/jbrody-tco/docs/templatejury" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">catalog</span></a><span style="color: #999999;">, designed by Joann Brody, which contains artists statements and full information about each work.</span></span></span></h2><p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><h3><span style="font-family: arial;">Juror’s Notes for Signs of the Times</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The call for entries for <i>Signs of the Times</i> came just before Covid-19 permeated every mile and meter of our planet. This monstrous virus stopped us in our tracks. What an irony that the biggest sign of all, a global pandemic, does not figure into the artwork on exhibition. Certainly its presence changed the timing of our show. We began as an online exhibition and just now have been able to see it realized in the gallery space. The work I selected for <i>Signs of the Times </i>aligns primarily along social and environmental issues, leavened with a bit of the order and chaos of abstraction. </span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Women</b><br />We start, as always, with women. We are still under siege, as Kathleen A. Kneeland’s <i>Target, </i>a uterus drawn onto a paper gun target, makes clear. Her tiny pink felt sculpture, <i>Thorny, </i>fights back. Yu Huang’s painting, <i>Where Is Ana Mendieta,</i> remembers the early beacon of earth-body performance art who fell (?) to her death in 1985 (her husband was acquitted of her murder). Sheryl Intrator’s <i>Pussy Hat Flag </i>employs that icon of the MeToo movement, a reminder of the many transgressions against us and, equally important, our great numbers as a political force to secure justice. We are powerful together. This is a message underscored by Isabele Milkoff’s <i>Women’s Power 1 </i>and Joan Easton’s <i>All Women Are Sisters.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: left;

Wolper’s collage of vintage handkerchiefs and image transfers reflects what she describes as “the disturbing disintegration of our society.” Stoltz’s </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Innocence Lost,</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> starts with Sandy Hook. “In the six years that followed there were 392 shootings at schools in the United States,” she notes. “This quilt includes one piece of fabric for each of those shootings.

Then you-know-what happened and we went into quarantine mode. Many exhibitions moved online. Some got installed but didn't get seen. Others got cancelled outright. Dan Addington, the gallery's owner and director, suggested we postpone the show until the beginning of the Fall season. I was cautiously optimistic, as they say in the ER, so much so that I spent a good part of the summer building crates and sending the work. On September 12 Dan opened the doors to a superbly installed show. I flew in for a masked and socially distanced afternoon opening. There was no crowding. Everyone got to see the show, and I got to visit with everyone. </span></span></span></h2><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTd2lzOkTsRf6MwQBYhP7GrxPZ4TjeDZAK0tTvKAr0fTKHZ6Ew5DlnioAkw-yWEMCGCiiEZL1736oJElcHIvTf415wiobrKCW7CpJMulFVnv_n5G63-77Uqz8qqNemRWY7d9U0iwAI6iI/s1280/1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTd2lzOkTsRf6MwQBYhP7GrxPZ4TjeDZAK0tTvKAr0fTKHZ6Ew5DlnioAkw-yWEMCGCiiEZL1736oJElcHIvTf415wiobrKCW7CpJMulFVnv_n5G63-77Uqz8qqNemRWY7d9U0iwAI6iI/w640-h480/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">North Wells Street is in the River North gallery district.

As the title and work suggest, color has been my longtime companion. Much of the series consists of layers of translucent paint built up into textured color fields. What's new is the division. The formal task I set for myself was to create two tonal fields, each with enough chromatic vigor to challenge the other half but conciliatory enough to mesh into one bisected painting. I never saw the horizontal as anything other than a divider--or perhaps uniter--between upper and lower.<br /><br />Dan saw things a little differently. For him the dividing line functioned as a horizon. In his essay for the catalog (which you can read in full <a href="https://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/1792626?__r=575442" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">here</span></b></a>) he writes: "I see landscape not merely because I can identify a horizon line in many of these pieces. In fact, every piece is made with horizontal brush strokes that echo this reading. It is not just because I am given a literal landscape of ridges, valleys, crevices, and strata. It is not just because I see the gradual shifts in value and tone that I witness in a sky on the cusp of change or as I stand before a great lake or ocean, engulfing my peripheral vision with a faint, hazy, transitional band where water meets sky. Color is a component of light, and this is how I understand light--in terms of the sky and the land."<br /><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggruZb7jYNuB1ye1u66UO1BKB-U8Ms1XOU1qOCmwdcJ0MOlrO_lIn58sxFfAcKKewE103I0oa_txhgEYwW4GUGsrTJcTs5jyBM2wfBf_hx1cJQydKiMm4jHacKYPAdtOIwQVQ7C5JwSwbj/s1280/4.jpg" style="clear: left;

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">“I find the expressive power of geometric shapes compelling.
Across time and place, we have used these simple forms to assert our most
profound beliefs—about the nature of our everyday world and what may lie
beyond, about our personal, social and spiritual identities, and about the
rhythms and cycles of our lives. I was drawn to these forms—to the geometric
markings that our early ancestors made on rocks, cave walls, and their bodies
and to the geometric patterns found in nature from microcosm to macrocosm—long
before I came to admire the use of geometric form in modern art.”</span></h2>

The Beginnings of Geoform</b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Julie contacted me back in late 2004. I forget how she made
the initial contact, but I ended up on a long phone call with this woman from
Ann Arbor, her broad, flat Midwestern intonations crisscrossing the wireless waves
with my speedy Manhattan-by-way-of-Massachusetts accent. She was launching a scholarly
research website called <i>Geoform,</i> she said, and she wanted me to be part of it. Geoform? It
sounded like a mining project, or maybe a New Age habitation initiative. But
no, it was to be a serious site dedicated to what she described as “geometric
form and structure in contemporary abstract art.” Her plan was for it to be
international, which it was from the very beginning. At last count the project contained
350 artists from 33 countries. Julie was so informed and so sincere that without knowing much more than that, I
agreed to participate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Right: A recent screen grab of the </i><a href="http://www.geoform.net/"><b>Geoform</b></a><i> site</i><br />
<br /><br />
We met in Manhattan at a corner table at a diner in Chelsea, a vegan and a
non-meat-eater surrounded by bacon and burgers. It was the wrong venue for us,
but we plunged into conversation anyway. Part of her plan, she said, was to
augment the site with artist interviews, a way to deepen the reader’s
engagement with this genre about which she was so passionate, and not
incidentally to bring greater recognition to the artists themselves. The next
meeting during her visit was at the more dietarily compatible Souen, a macrobiotic restaurant in
SoHo, where I joined Julie and Stuart as well as <a href="http://www.lauriefendrich.com/"><b>Laurie Fendrich</b></a>. I think
Julie was heartened by the early support that Laurie and I offered, but it was
clear she was fully motivated to pursue the project, whether we supported it or
not. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Julie’s research was far ranging. At the time I was writing about the art fairs
in New York and Miami for this blog, so I had a sense of the international
scope of geometric abstraction. Julie found artists I’d never heard of whose
work was wonderful. And she did it not by traipsing through endless booths in
endless fairs (rheumatoid arthritis limited her travel) but by dogged online
research, followed by outreach and extended communication with each artist. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Curated Exhibitions</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
While she was finding and adding new artists to <i>Geoform</i> and conducting Interviews
for the site, Julie was formulating plans for what she hoped would be a series
of curated exhibitions. Two were realized. (Disclaimer: I was fortunate to have been included in both.) The first was <i>Engaging the
Structural </i>at the Broadway Gallery in SoHo in 2005. Never one to do things
halfway, Julie got Lily Wei to write an essay for the show. The following
year, <i>ORDER(ed)</i> took place at Gallery Siano in Philadelphia. Roberta Fallon
wrote the essay, this time with a catalog. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
Not only did Julie do a marvelous job of bringing <i>Geoform </i>artists
together aesthetically in real time and space, she was the catalyst for many
friendships between and among us. She would remain the nucleus for many such
connections as <i>Geoform </i>expanded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“As a psychologist and artist, Karabenick is fascinated by
the primal power that geometric figures continue to exert. For Karabenick,
who is passionate about geometric form and pattern, one impulse in organizing <i>Engaging the Structural</i> was to show the diversity of contemporary geometric
abstraction and to marvel at the continued vitality of this
historic tradition. Artists, Karabenick proves, are still drawn to the
richness of its syntax, a syntax that seems inexhaustible.” </span><br />

A Selection of Julie's Work</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Julie described herself as "resolute" in her pursuit of geometry in art. Of course the work changed over time--this selection starts with the most recent and goes back almost 20 years--but complexity of composition, clarity of color, and a pristine, uninflected surface are hallmarks of the work throughout its development. The early paintings featured compositions flat against the picture plane. Any sense of space came from the size of the rectilinear elements and colors that advanced or receded. Small color blocks piqued the eye. One series, produced between 2010 and 2012 introduced a Mondrianic boogie-woogie jumpiness; Julie even turned several squares on their points, a brash and unexpected move. Over time Julie introduced spatial ambiguity--interlocking rectangles, stylized house shapes, diagonals that suggested perspective, and more recently tondos whose compositions contained faceted elements aswim in chromatic pools, each element connected by fine lines to the others. These new tondos offered something celestial, cosmic. Oh, to have seen where she might have taken them, or where they might have taken us.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From the The Painting Center website: "Each painting features complex and intricately balanced
clusters of architectural fragments and forms that simultaneously clamor for
the viewer’s attention. Each cluster presses forward toward the viewer in an
impossibly shallow space that defies a single, coherent reading. Ambiguities
abound as flat shapes intermix freely with shapes that imply volume, and
multiple perspective systems clash." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My
first encounter with Julie was in 2007, as part of an almost yearlong interview
process for </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Geoform.</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I had never considered the possibility of such a
time-consuming and thorough interview, yet I learned more about myself as well
as Julie during the time we sent emails back and forth. Shortly thereafter,
Julie, Stuart and I met for coffee in Santa Fe as she was part of an inaugural
exhibition at David Richard Gallery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We
had weekly or biweekly phone conversations until her untimely death on August
8. Stuart would often get on the phone and ask me about Big Sur and Carmel,
yearning to revisit these places. It almost happened earlier this year but was
preempted by Covid 19.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Besides
being a consummate scholar and writer, Julie was an extraordinary artist,
spending months working on a single painting until she felt it was completed.
Her latest series of circular shaped panels with bursts of brightly colored
triangular patterns showed a more playful side. Julie understood what her work
was about and she never backed down in her pursuit to stay the path in order to
paint what was important to her, rather than to an audience. More than anything
she wanted her work to be included in exhibitions that focused on geometric
form.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Julie
was gentle, compassionate and generous. When we were chatting a few years ago,
she mentioned the importance of drawing in my practice. The following week, an
iPad Pro with an Apple pencil arrived from Julie and Stuart as they hoped I
might enjoy drawing on a digital device. In turn, I sent them a painting which
hangs in their home. Julie’s concern for the underdog was her beacon as she
supported many non-profit organizations that focused on animals, the
environment and politics, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Julie’s
thirst for spiritual connection and understanding was a journey we shared as we
read the same books and often discussed how to incorporate these teachings into
our lives during these challenging times. I will miss her deeply and hope that
her soul is at peace.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In
my mind the dates and details are blurred, but Julie, as a person, a friend,
and an artist, remains vivid as ever. I cannot say for sure when she first
contacted me to participate in her curatorial masterpiece, </span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Geoform,</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> but I would
guess it to have been around 2005. What anchors those early memories of our
friendship was my good fortune to be included the following year in a
remarkable group exhibition she curated titled </span><i style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Order(ed).</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Not only was it an
especially memorable collection of artists but it initiated, for me, several
long-lasting relationships that continue to this day. In retrospect, I realize
that facilitating connections and community was one of Julie’s many talents. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To
know Julie as a fellow artist was to participate in a long-term, intermittent
dialog about what is happening with each others’ work—to comment on and to
celebrate both the big leaps and the incremental changes. She was always so
supportive of my work, and I would like to think that I was equally so with
hers. Indeed, the two of us have come a very long way since we first met, and
I am greatly saddened that her explorations have come to an untimely end. She
will be sorely missed, but her extraordinary artwork will live on in the vast
artistic ecosystem she helped to create.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>William Conger</b>, artist<br /><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I first met Julie in
2007 when she interviewed me for her <i>Geoform </i>website. She began with a studio visit and we became
immediate friends. Soon afterwards,
Julie and her husband, Stuart, visited Kathy and me at our home in Chicago for
an afternoon of lively talk about art and life. After months of emailing and phone calls,
marked by exacting questions and edits, Julie’s <i>Geoform</i> interview was
completed. It’s the best interview I’ve
had in linking specific work to commentary. Later, I was pleased that she
agreed to include it in my 2010 Retrospective catalog. We remained in touch. Her last email to me
came just weeks ago, in July, when she simply and characteristically asked how
I was doing. I had long admired Julie’s
complex geometric paintings and attended her Chicago exhibitions. I sometimes
wondered if she was not curtailing her own studio time as she tirelessly aided
other artists’ careers on <i>Geoform.</i> But
<i>Geoform</i> is a masterpiece in its serious and professional showcasing of new
geometric abstract painting around the world. It will endure. Recently, I saw that Julie was completing her new
circular paintings that show terrific expressive energy and formal rigor. They
are memorable and complex paintings. They will endure. They contradict
the tragedy of her untimely passing by celebrating both optimistic exuberance
and calm firmness of total artistic commitment. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Julie
reached out to me in October 2005 when she was organizing a 17-person abstract art
exhibition in Philadelphia and invited me to write the catalog essay for the
show. Between October 2005 and May 2006, Julie and I had numerous and intensely
focused conversations via email and phone. We talked about the show, its
title, the catalog, the publicity, and about pulling together a panel to speak
about abstract art. Julie, who was the curator as well as an artist of
dazzling geometric paintings in her own right, treated me as an equal, a
collaborator. She was a wonderful collaborator. Humble yet exacting, full of
great ideas but an excellent listener, she always seemed to want to make things
best for everyone. She was generous with her thoughts, comments and praise. And
she moved mountains. She got things done. The intense connection Julie and I
formed during 2005-2006 created a lasting friendship, and even though I heard
irregularly from Julie after that, when an email arrived from her, it was
always filled with her wonderful kind spirit. And that is how I will remember
her, as a wonderful kind spirit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In
my most recent online conversations with Julie Karabenick a couple of months
ago, we talked about how in an age of Covid, intense identity issues, and
wretched politics, it was hard to hold onto the idea that abstract painting
holds meaning for anyone other than the artists who make it. Yet when I look at
Julie’s oeuvre, including her most recent paintings, I don’t see doubt; I see
vigorous, confident, lively, colorful and smartly geometric paintings valiantly
defying doubt. Julie was not an
idealist, either in her outlook or her art. She believed that bringing the reason
and simplicity of geometry to bear on abstract painting was one of the best
painterly routes to discovering beauty and finding outward-reaching meaning,
but she had a wry sense of humor about everything, and clearly saw the futility
of idealism.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Georges
Braque famously said he loved the rule that corrects the emotion. Julie’s art
epitomizes this pithy saying, for her jazzy spiritedness is always yoked to
rules—implied, that is, but never rigid. The idea of the necessity of rules
also shows up on <i>Geoform,</i> her brilliantly conceived and meticulously maintained
project of curating and preserving an online presence for geometric abstract
painting, where the artists selected invoke, to one degree or another, the
glorious rigor and beauty of geometry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">When
I was interviewed for <i>Geoform</i> in 2007, Julie conducted multiple interview
sessions with me by phone. At the start, I was thrilled, but soon I found
myself wondering, “Haven’t I answered everything already?” She’d say, almost
apologetically, that she still didn’t quite understand something I’d said in a
previous conversation and wanted me to try to explain it one more time. The
thing is that by persevering, she got me explain it better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Only
now do I see that Julie’s pursuit of the truth about what other abstract
painters do and think was never a search for “absolute truth,” like some kind
of Platonic form. Nor was it a survey of geometric abstract painters. It was a
search for words that, for all the limitations inherent in language, came
closest to what abstract painting means.
When she nudged artists to go further and explain more, she was nudging
both herself and us to abandon our language of conceit, delusion, cliché and
artblat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In
my online correspondence with Julie over the several years I knew her, and in
the several face-to-face encounters we had—almost always with her wonderful
husband Stuart—I saw someone who strove to “get things right” in everything
from her painting to her family, her vegetarian lifestyle, and her
politics. We who knew her miss her, but
are grateful for her friendship, the legacy of her art, and </span><i style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Geoform. </i></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I felt very honored when Julie included me in the <i>Geoform</i> site. It was early in its creation, and early in my participation on social media. No matter how large <i>Geoform</i> became, Julie was always available to share and compare thoughts and strategies for <i>Geoform</i> and in a greater sense, geometric abstraction's place in the art world. I'm sure I'm not the only artist who felt that they knew Julie well, despite having never met her in person. She was just that kind of person. Rest in peace, Julie.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I was introduced to Julie Karabenick’s site, <i>Geoform,</i> by Joanne Mattera in 2010. Joanne was in to see our 1960s geometric paintings show, <i>Op Out of Ohio,</i> featuring Julian Stanczak and Ed Mieczkowski and recommended I check out <i>Geoform.</i> I was impressed with the quality of Julie’s interviews and the geometric artists she presented on her site. We connected and Julie interviewed three of our gallery artists: Julian Stanczak, Ed Mieczkowski, and Tadasky. Julie had a special touch as an interviewer--likely because she was an artist as well as a generous, sensitive person. In particular she did an incredible job on Tadasky’s interview. Tadasky opened up to Julie slowly and she had the patience to persevere with lots of back and forth emails and phone calls. Her approach opened Tadasky to talk more about the intention of his work and his personal history. Her interview stands as the best history of Tadasky’s life and work. I am honored to be able to link my gallery website to Julie’s significant project <i>Geoform.</i> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
first met Julie when I reached out to her about <i>Geoform,</i> a website that kept
popping up in my feed with so many artists I knew. I was excited to see an
entire website dedicated to contemporary global artists whose work was
committed to the sphere of geometry in new and exciting ways. I felt my work
deserved to be part of this community, so I reached out to Julie on <i>Facebook</i> to
connect with a private message. She responded right away. At first, Julie did
not see my work’s connection and needed to be persuaded about how it linked
(since it’s nestled in organic geometry). This led to my showing her more work,
then earlier work, and even earlier work that went back to my roots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
interesting part was an entire year’s worth of conversations that grew more
frequent, richer and deeper over time. Not only did we discuss my work and her
work and our motivations and art history and the art world, but we began
sharing the intimacy of our personal lives. It was a slow growth that led to a
rich friendship and reminded me of when I lived in the Midwest. People observed
you like they observed the growth of crops. Once they began to tend to you they
made sure that you grew and friendships became solid and lasting. This was
Julie, a unique and truly special character trait. She wanted to know you from
your seedling, from inside out.</span></div>

This community, built from her own artworks passion, is one of mutual
understanding and respect, of sharing and support, a reflection of all that
Julie was. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">While many images here feature paintings and works on paper, a number of other mediums step outside those parameters--sculpture, installation, and prints, as you can see in these opening images--as well as assemblage, light sculpture, cyanotype, photography, digital drawing, and work in fiber, cardboard, wax, and the detritus of family life. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">Most of the works you see here are recent, but I encouraged artists to dip into their archive for their most chromatic expressions. Although abstraction prevails, there's some fine </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">representational work in the mix, including an homage to R.B.G. in RGB.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's a post on RGB without R.B.G.? Yes, that's the Justice, painted by the artist with her left hand, due to a right-shoulder injury that prevented her from using her dominant hand. Says Mon: "There was no attempt at a likeness, but I gave her the white
ruff for her black gown. I was more interested in the color contrast--the red/green duality--to help show her power. I was not conscious of this at
the time, but made her head larger than the sun, perhaps to show her importance
to our world."</span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You might be wondering how I select an artist for this ongoing
<i>Mothers of Invention</i> series, since there are so many talented women with impressive and influential careers. I begin with a
solo exhibition, which provides me with an
opportunity to see her oeuvre. Usually it’s a museum show. For
Kay WalkingStick, it was a 50-year retrospective, <i>Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist,</i> which originated at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington,
D.C., and traveled to five successive museums through 2018, the last of which
was at the Montclair Art Museum in Montclair, New Jersey.</span></span></h2>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">In Montclair I not only got
to view the show but to hear the artist and one of the exhibition’s curators, Kathleen Ash-Milby, in conversation. And recently I had a long phone talk with WalkingStick as we hunkered down in our respective studios. I’ll intersperse elements of
both conversations, as well as information from the exhibition catalog, throughout this post. </span></span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The exhibition, curated also by David Penney, organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, follows the chronological path of an artist whose concerns have included figuration, abstraction, reductive forms, and the landscape of upstate New York and the American West, their formal issues and aesthetic expressions circling around one another to inform and enrich some five decades of work. </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">To start, let me say that WalkingStick is rich with identities and interests that have sustained her life and work. The daughter of a Cherokee father and Scots-Irish American mother, she is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma who grew up in Syracuse, New York. S</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">he is a feminist who came of age as an artist in New York City in the Seventies. She is a mother, a widow, a newlywed, a cancer survivor. For many years she was a professor of art at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and taught in the Cornell in Rome program, where she became a lover of Italian culture and language. Now 85, she continues to paint and exhibit. She lives in a large Victorian house in Easton, Pennsylvania, with her second husband Dirk Bach, an artist and retired art historian.<br /><br />Two comments, culled from the catalog, contextualize the rich complexity of the artist:<br />"What does heritage have to do with my art? It is who I am. Art is a portrait of the artist, at least of the artist's thought processes, sense of self, sense of place in the world. If you see art as that, then my identity as an Indian is crucial." At the same time she notes,</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> "</span>This is who we Americans really are. All different, all the same, all it it together, making art."</span><br />

Installation view at the National Museum of the American Indian<br />
This view is just to the right of the museum's entrance to the show, with WalkingStick's paintings of silhouetted figures from the early Seventies, an exuberant time of body positivity supported by the Women's Movement. There's a lovely dichotomy here: hard edges depicting fluid figures in a saturated palette of what you might call robust pastels. <br />
<br />
On the left wall, <i>Feet Series Arrangement,</i> 1972, acrylic on canvas, six panels each 20 x 20 inches<br />
In the distance, two paintings from the <i>Hudson Reflections</i> series, acrylic on canvas<br />
<br />
Below: <i>Me and My Neon Box, </i>1972, acrylic on canvas, 1973, 54 x 60 inches<br />
Writing in the catalog to the show, Kate Morris identifies these figures as "a composite self portrait"</div>

"When I first came to New York City, my goal was to be seen as a Native artist, but also be part of the New York art scene," said WalkingStick in conversation. This is a goal she has achieved, and it is "part of the reason" her retrospective came to be. "The idea that I was showing in the mainstream but identified as a Native person was important to the NMAI. It was an important contemporary statement about indigenous artists. We are still here and working at our chosen vocations, but part of mainstream America."<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 1973 when she was 38 years old, WalkingStick enrolled in the MFA program at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Her two children were in middle school, old enough for her to leave them during the day. She was living in Englewood, New Jersey, and would drive across the George Washington Bridge into the city for classes.</div>
<br />
From the exhibition catalog: "I realized that what I liked about the aprons was the draped fabric, and I was thinking about that as I was driving every day to Brooklyn . . . The bridges were the best part of that drive. I think they are the best sculpture in the city. I'd look at these bridges and these huge nets that were stretched under them during repairs. I thought these wonderful draped things . . . were gorgeous."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span id="goog_1451281864"></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The painter's aprons also related to WalkingStick's domestic life, to the juggle of raising </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">children, making dinner for her family, and still be a full-time artist. (But it was not a struggle, she takes care to point out. "It was a wonderful time.") It turns out that the draped shapes she was so drawn to were also connected to the tipi forms that appeared in her subsequent paintings, as well as to the arc shapes that asserted themselves in her paintings for many years.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">From the catalog, WalkingStick says that people glean different means from her work: "If you’re a feminist, an Indian, a western formalist, you will relate to it that way and it’s all there. Everything done, felt and experienced will eventually come out in painting." </span></div>

The <i>Chief Joseph Series</i> is in the foreground</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Above and below: the <i>Chief Joseph</i> series, 1974-76, 36 paintings, each 20 x 15 inches; acrylic, ink, and saponified wax on canvas. They are shown here in configurations that vary by number and placement.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kate Morris, a scholar of Native American art, has this to say about the work in her catalog essay: "The <i>Chief Joseph</i> series is something of a paradox in that it is one of the most devoutly intellectual and minimalist works of WalkingStick's career, but it is also deeply affecting. The subject matter is profound and affecting, one that WalkingStick has returned to time and again: the 1,170-mile exodus of the Nez Perce Chief Joseph and his people in 1877." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Formally the series consists of individual paintings, each with four arc shapes in a combination of two sizes and four forms. WalkingStick's daughter, Erica WalkingStick Echols Lowry, describes the work in more personal terms: "This arc was a primal experience. So Mama spent years painting that shape out of her system. She painted painting after painting of that arc: Arc, arc, arc, arc. They were paintings that looked clawed or carved away, or pounded away, or rubbed away, that resulted in an improbably serene, solemn series she dedicated to Chief Joseph--who became to her like a good and honest father."</div>

<i>Montauk, II (Dusk), 1983; </i>acrylic, saponified wax, and ink on canvas; 56 x 56 inches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This painting marks a turning point for WalkingStick. An abstract composition, it nonetheless draws from the land and sea she experienced during a monthlong residency in Montauk, at the tip of Long Island, courtesy of the Edward F. Albee Foundation. From this point on landscape anchors much of her work in a side-by-side diptych format or in the horizontal proportion that would have been made by two squares. </div>
<br />
<br />
I'll address the diptychs in a bit, but first let me talk about WalkingStick's materials. You will see that for much of the Eighties, WalkingStick's work is made with saponified wax. While you may be familiar with encaustic, which is pigment suspended in beeswax, saponified wax is different. Also known as wax emulsion, it is a mix of beeswax and water brought into an irreversible mix by means of a third ingredient, which for WalkingStick was sodium borate. The resulting substance, with a consistency somewhere between cold cream and heavy acrylic gel, is a medium that can be mixed with a water-based paint like acrylic. (Conventional encaustic does not take to acrylic but to oil.) WalkingStick typically applied the paint with her hands to a double layer of canvas to achieve the richly impastoed, almost topographical surfaces that bear the marks of incising and excavation. As she describes it, each layer was a different color so that the history of the process could be glimpsed at the finish.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In terms of chronology, this painting was made in grief, after the unexpected death of the artist's husband, Michael Echols. WalkingStick had just been appointed to the Cornell faculty and found solace in the landscape surrounding the university, particularly the gorges, which found their way into her work </div>

<i>Remnants of Cataclysm, </i>1992; acrylic, saponified wax, oil, and copper on canvas; 28 x 56 inches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The diptych format is a signature for WalkingStick's work, a way of bringing together seemingly incongruous elements--abstraction and landscape, the spiritual and the physical, imagination and experience, undefined space and the tangibility of earth and water set into perspectival views. The format has even been identified as an expression of the artist's bicultural identity.<br />
<br />
"The diptych is an especially powerful metaphor to express the beauty and power of uniting the disparate and this makes it particularly attractive to those of us who are biracial," says the artist. But, notes David W. Penney, one of the exhibition's curators, in his catalog essay, <i>Stereo View, </i>"The diptychs do not divide into an Indian side on the one hand and white side on the other." As I see it they are, in Buddhist terms, a union of opposites through time, material, and idea. In a recent conversation, WalkingStick said she sees the format not as a reconciliation of opposites but as a "continuation" of ideas, "like the stanzas of a poem."</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The appearance of legs is not always lighthearted, however. Here, WalkingStick draws from the Native American narrative to commemorate the struggle of the Nez Perce. Long before the arrival of the Europeans, the tribe used the Lolo trail to travel the Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana for hunting and fishing. In their struggle with the U.S. Army in 1877, Chief Joseph tried to lead his people, numbering some 800, to safety over this path and into Canada, but just shy of their goal they were forced to surrender in what is known at the Battle of Bear Paw. Some escaped and successfully crossed the border, but Chef Joseph remained with those who stayed behind. (Read more <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bear_Paw"><b>here</b></a>.)</div>

Landscape has increasingly engaged WalkingStick. Writing in her catalog essay, <i>Land Through Time,</i> Lucy R. Lippard notes: "Time is a recurring theme in her work. In fact it is almost impossible to separate time and space when thinking about landscape. She has said of these diptychs, 'I do not see my paintings as landscapes, per se, but rather as paintings that describe two kinds of perception of the earth. One view is visual and fleeting and the other is abstract and everlasting.' " </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tribal patterns and bead or weaving designs traverse half the diptych. Writes Lippard: ". . . their delicate presence transforms the landscapes into actively spiritual sites that remain meaningful even as they have become 'property' in the dominant culture."</div>

<b>A Brief Interview</b><b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-size: small;">What's it like to experience a huge retrospective of your work?</span></b><br />
</h3>
<div>
While many of us have experienced, or will experience, the thrill of walking into a solo exhibition of our work, most of us are unlikely to know what it feels like to have a retrospective, particularly one that travels to five difference venues, each with curators who contextualize it for their particular institutions. "It was overwhelming to see the work for the first time," says WalkingStick. She was talking about the installation at the National Museum of the American Indian in the nation's capitol. "It's a stunning feeling."</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Inaugural opening took place at the National Museum of the American Indian in November, 2015, which she attended with her family. It then traveled to the Heard Museum in Phoenix, where WalkingStick's work is already in the collection; the Dayton Art Institute, Dayton, Ohio; the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, Kalamazoo, Michigan; the Gilcrease Art Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; and the Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, New Jersey.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What was the Native response?</b><br />
<div>
"There was a wonderful group of Pottawatomies in Kalamazoo. They came to the opening, draped me in a blanket, a Pendleton. That was just so touching and beautiful. I was so moved by their affection." But she admits, "I would have liked it to be seen by more Native Americans."</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Illness prevented her from traveling to Dayton and Tulsa. (She had a heart attack and subsequent bypass.) However, the show was in Tulsa when the Native American Art Studies Association was meeting there, and WalkingStick was honored. Her daughter Erica accepted the award in her stead.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b>
<b>What have you not been asked?</b><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">WalkingStick's exhibition was much covered as it traveled </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">to its various venues (Google it if you wish to know more). Articles, perhaps drawing from the same press materials, offered much of the same information. I wanted to know what she hadn't been asked and wanted to say.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />"I want people to look. If you look at art slowly you can learn all about it. I would like people to see. If you read a book, read it as slowly as the author wrote it. All right, that's not likely, but people need to slow down.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">"At the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Dirk and I sat in front of Sargent's <i>The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit,</i> the painting that has the Chinese vases. We sat in front of it for probably half an hour. Just examined it really well. I love Sargent. His paintings are organized so beautifully. You can look into the blackness and see light. I wish people would look at my work that way. At yours. At art in general."</span></div>

If you are an admirer of WalkingStick's work, you must get the exhibition catalog. A handsome tome edited by curators Kathleen Ash-Milby and David W. Penney, it contains essay contributions by critics, academics and curators, Native and not, who offer a multifacted look at this multifaceted artist. All aspects of WalkingStick's oeuvre are addressed--the feminist figures, the diptych format that is the hallmark of her work, her interest in a landscape that has been inhabited by Native people long before it became "American" land, and her passion for the art and culture of Italy. There are also essays by the artist, who discusses materials and process, and by her daughter, Erica WalkingStick Echols Lowry, who writes about the artist in a more personal and intimate way.<br />

became apparent that even the smallest activities, like taking walks with the
family around the neighborhood, was a big deal. We became upstart birders,
learning different calls, searching obsessively for cardinals, carrying cameras.
Before long we were putting up feeders in the back yard. These birds, humble in
size but potent in meaning, are perfect subjects for the small paintings on
books that continued to develop in the studio . . . This scarlet-headed finch,
a committed visitor to that new feeder, is now our Pandemic Patron Saint."<span style="color: #a6a6a6; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">We’ve passed the 100-day mark of this pandemic, with no end
in sight. Artists, as always, continue to work. Some, fearful of taking the
subway, set up workspaces at home. The more intrepid put on face masks and
walked to their studios or hopped on Citibikes and made the trek through nearly
traffic-free New York City streets. (The commute is less
hazardous outside the city, as most artists have cars or work in studios at home.) </span></h2>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">As I
scrolled through Facebook I noticed that artists were posting many images of modestly sized works. Is small the New Normal? Certainly as we cocoon for safety, everything in our world pulls in and scales down. Wanting to see more, I asked my Facebook friends to send images of current work 12 inches or under, hence the title. </span></h2>

Christian beliefs. When the soldiers arrested Stefania for offering succor to
the dying man, she revealed her own Christianity in solidarity with his. Victor was beheaded
after his eyes were gouged out. (Other sources say that he was tied to a pillar
and whipped until his skin fell off.) <o:p></o:p></span><br />

When the ropes holding the trees were released, the trunks sprang back upright, tearing the woman in two. In mar</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">tyrdom she became known as Corona because just before death she revealed
that in a vision she had seen a golden crown, or corona.</span><br />

I long ago walked away in disgust from the Catholic church and have no ties to any organized religion, but I must admit that I love paintings of the saints
(especially from the Italian Renaissance) and am enamored of the voodoo
attributed to them. In this pandemic, which we are learning will be
with us for a very long time, whatever ways we connect to the Universe can’t hurt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h2>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">What’s a series on art and the Corona virus pandemic
without a visual acknowledgement of the virus itself? Objectively speaking, that
spiked orb is a beautiful form. One of many corona viruses, it is so named
because of the corona, or crown, projecting from its surface. The spikes that comprise the crown enable this particular virus to grab onto a host cell and then fuse itself to a cell wall in the respiratory system. The
artists here are inspired by this viral form and and, relatedly, by other pathogens around us. Their paintings and drawings make
visible what is normally only seen under an electron microscope, mutating it
into something powerful but non-lethal.</span></h2>

I had Hartung's work in mind when I conceived this blog post since she has been working with microscopic imagery for some years. Although these works are not specifically about the corona virus--she has not had access to her studio--I wanted to include them. Here's what she has to say:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"My
work is related to my fascination with the microscopic world. I have been
looking at electron microscope photographs and am inspired by the abstract
organic shapes and intense color of this hidden world. I am exploring the
connections between science and art, conscious of the profound effects that

Massachusetts' stay-at-home order, I’ve been using materials I have
stockpiled in my house. Since March I’ve made nine small mixed-media ‘art in
isolation’ pieces by layering printed collage and stitching on remnants of <i>Family Debris</i> monoprints. The circle is an important part of my visual
vocabulary; incorporating the spiky circular Covid symbol in my current work
memorializes this strangely timeless period when the world and our lives have
changed suddenly, profoundly, and irrevocably. The work is reflective of my internal
chaos, going around in circles in the time of Corona. But I’ve found comfort in
the meditative building of these small layered and colorful compositions.
Making art for sanity, I’m thankful that it works for me."</span></div>

"This is the first painting I've
made since the end of February. Unable to shake the feeling that my work
doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world (but nevertheless itching
to do <i>something</i>), I scaled down and made this tondo. Does it express my
wish to live on another planet? Possibly. I can tell you that the illusion of
spherical volume is unintentional, and any resemblance to an actual virus,
living or dead, is purely coincidental."<br />

last week, we look at more art created during this period. The focus
here is on abstraction in all its glorious incarnations. And I must say that as
much as I've loved seeing these images, what artists have to say about their
work is equally compelling. Stay safe, friends. Keep making art. Meanwhile, notes Barbara Laube, "the world is speeding by at a standstill."</span></span></div>

"For over a month this piece rested in my studio unfinished. I had no idea what to do with it. During that time, 32 days, I focused on making
one small drawing a day, 6.25 by 6.25 inches, of a newly planted tree in my front
yard. I liked sitting at the window. It was a daily meditation and an
affirmation of where I was. It helped me feel grounded. Laying the 32
drawings out, I found them to be not only a record of that month of quarantine,
but also a complete, inspiring piece. Two days after completing that series, I
went up to my studio and resolved this painting. I’m now considering making more small daily works on paper,
perhaps color studies. It looks like it will be awhile."<o:p></o:p></div>

"It took me a couple of weeks to figure out how to make art
at home, not something I’ve ever been good at.<br />
I was gentle on myself. I
realized that the kitchen has the best light, so voila, kitchen it is. It’s a
drag to have to move it all aside when I want to cook but I’m managing. I’m
getting into the groove, have made about a dozen small paintings since lockdown.
On the plus side, I have an online solo that is getting some press and have
been interviewed for a blog, have had a virtual studio visit, and was invited
to an online gallery space. So even though I’m not out in the world, I feel as
though my work is."</div>

before the insane Trump suggested ingesting Lysol and Clorox. I
was in my apartment, not the studio and not particularly motivated to
create. I had those disinfectants at hand in bottles and sprays. I remembered tie dying my black clothes with bleach and making beautiful abstract
patterns during my hippie days. Inspired by that memory, I cut up
some black paper and did these paintings on my dining table, working directly
with Clorox both pure and watered down as a painting medium. The tonality
was so beautiful as it penetrated the dye pigment of the paper. Turns out that bleach is a perfect medium for this challenging time."</span></div>

"This drawing is part of my daily drawing
series, so the title is the date of its completion. Eight inches square is the standard size I have been
using for the past year. My work continues a daily practice which isn’t interrupted
by what takes place outside my home and studio in Minneapolis. In that respect,
the work is meditative, a concentration on what is occurring at the
present—putting paint on paper. This stills my mind. The art is not an escape
from the crises in the world, but a method of tempering an emotionally driven
response to this seemingly chaotic time."</div>

"I am lucky to have a studio at home. A week into sheltering in place I experienced
a tidal wave of creative energy which has erupted into a prolific and evolving
series. This current work explores feelings and images
surrounding the pandemic virus, as well thoughts on hope, natural beauty, and solace. Born out of mandalas, which are often employed
to aid mediation and provide sacred space, these pieces are both painterly and structured. It is said that creating mandalas helps stabilize and re-order
inner life. I take comfort in that."</div>

has slowed down considerably since there are no social obligations. It’s
actually been a pleasure to disappear into the studio without watching the
clock. I have always found working on the watercolors to be a
meditation. They
are intuitive and have been a healing presence when life has been
less than kind. I have never had the noise of the art world in my head when I am
making art. So many artists I know are aware of what is sellable or might
get attention when they are making work. This has never been the way I
approach my work. I am more interested in where
my inspirations come from including art history but also life experiences."</span></div>

"On this piece I used a glaze to insert an element I have been
trying to incorporate into a painting, a band with a serrated or zigzag edge. It
runs vertically through each 'tower' of shapes, and despite the fact of its geometry, for me it introduces an element from nature
into the work. I love working with yellow. The background is Indian
Red, a color with such perfect qualities for what I do to it! I love how
it spreads like a perfect mud on the canvas surface."</div>

"My work routine has deepened since the mandate to stay
inside. I have continued working in my home studio. Without the pull to attend
openings or visit exhibitions, my time is more relaxed. The sequestration has
opened me to reflect on past work, bringing forward those aspects that I'd like
to explore further. This piece is the beginning of a series
I'm calling <i>Infra. </i>Infra refers to infrathin, a concept coined by Marcel
Duchamp. He claimed the notion was impossible to define, that "one can
only give examples of it." I think of it as intangible, yet undeniably
present, beyond our full comprehension. Both eternal and ephemeral.
Undefinable, ungraspable. This series came to be because while working
on another project I ran out of the panel sizes I needed. While waiting for new
panels to arrive, I attempted to use these, thicker panels from a past project.
Failing for the project I was trying to continue, they revealed particular
properties to enhance light and color (my constant quest), so I’m developing
this new series further."<o:p></o:p></div>

for the residency for several months prior to mid-March, I had materials and
focus in-hand for my new temporary studio. The building where I live, on the Bowery, is
underutilized, and I was able to set up a small studio in the top floor
hallway. I love it. It even has a funky skylight, and it’s also very quiet!
The world is in an unhappy state, but working in the temporary studio has come

"I was sick for three weeks in late March during the
beginning of our quarantine in Rhode Island. Even though I brought home from my
studio some basic art supplies, they sat untouched on my dining room
table for about a month. Once I tested negative for Covid 19 and started to
feel stronger, my urge to make art slowly resumed. One evening in a fit of
frustration over our entire situation, I picked up a handful of pencils and
feverishly created 69 drawings in one sitting. Here is number
65 in the series. It's now early May and I’m venturing back
into my studio. I'm working on getting some traction on the projects that I
left there untouched during the height of the pandemic. I'm hoping to find my
rhythm again. This is a strange time, for sure."<o:p></o:p></div>

"I struggled in the early stages with making anything new. I'd go into my
studio, but end up wandering around, getting distracted by looking at the news
and social media on my phone. And looking out the window at the rapidly
escalating changes happening in our city. The scope of these changes and my
anxiety and fears stifled significant artmaking. Gradually, I resumed making
new pieces in this series, which are
small, mixed-media and assemblage paintings. Creating them led to an expansion
into larger, more 'serious' works, and now I find that painting and
constructing is one <br />
of the few things keeping me sane right now."<br />

"I began listening to
a friend's cello and vocal composition entitled <i>At Yellow Crane Tower,
Seeing Off Friends</i> one day in the studio at the start of the pandemic.
The image of the tower took shape quickly, with a small shopping bag and other
discarded paper pieces assembling themselves awkwardly to the haunting
music--made more so by learning that this famed, ancient tower is in Wuhan,
China."<o:p></o:p></div>

"I've had some unfinished panels on which I wanted to try out ideas
for geometric forms. I began adding simple transparent
bars going through the rectangles. In the one recently completed here, I
liked the idea of windows on geometric forms. I believe that
it makes a meaningful statement on the work to have these symbolic
transparencies in our difficult time now. The bars represents a feeling
of being trapped and the windows are looking out or in to see what the future
may be."<o:p></o:p></div>

"I usually alternate a
week in my studio at an art center that's open to the public and a week in my
home studio. Needless to say, the art center is shuttered for the forseeable
future, so I've been working
exclusively in my home studio since March 15, which has turned out to be more
than OK. I like the quiet. I am spending full
days in the studio almost every day and allowing myself the freedom to get to
some new ideas that have been percolating for a while. What is missing is
what everyone is missing: companionship of friends and other artists. Also
income. That's missing."</div>

two months seems to dull my perception. I was working on a large painting but

"What it has been
like: Well, it has been both amazing and exhausting. I am
fortunate. I live in a rural place, Southern Minnesota, and my studio is part
of my house. The amazing part is how slow things seem to be. A slow
spring emerging, the days are fast but also long. Time seems very
different. The exhausting part is just trying to understand what is going
on. How all the things that we have taken for granted have changed. Changes are being reflected, or maybe processed, in my drawings and
paintings."<o:p></o:p></div>

with worry on a good day, these times are especially challenging for me. When I
am at work in my small home studio I am not obsessing on the state of the

preparedness, is a departure from my usual landscape theme. The red purse
reflects my inner girl scout, always ready yet often beyond the reach of
comfort. Clouds, for me embody the subtle logic of perpetual change, and I find
painting them endlessly comforting."</span></div>

"For the first 39 days
of self-isolation I had a difficult time feeling connected to my studio
practice. I had trouble working through failures and largely went through the
motions in an effort to soothe my sadness and anxiety. On the 40th morning I
realized that life was going on even in seclusion. Determined to develop new habits that made the best use of my
time in this new reality, I went to my home studio and began painting, using
colors from a page of an inspiration notebook I’d put together the previous
week. For the first time in weeks I felt hopeful and happy while working. I
think this painting reflects that change in attitude. I’ve since been better
able to work through problems and persevere, even when the work isn’t
particularly successful."<o:p></o:p></div>

"My studio is attached

that respect, but then so much has changed. My <i>Surge</i> series had been
my interpretation of rising seas, but this one has become comments on the surge
of Covid cases. It didn’t start out to be 'bloody,' but sometimes paintings
have minds of their own. Still in progress, I'll see where it goes from here.
Eventually I will add handstitching in topographical map patterns and then the
painting will be stretched."<br />

"It took several
weeks of intense fear that I would die from this virus before I could begin to
paint again. I expected today’s painting to be chaotic and anxious, as that is
how I felt for most of the day. When I
read that the mayor of Las Vegas proposed that her city be a control group to
see how many would die without social distancing, I went bonkers. Somehow deep breaths and Messaien’s music
calmed me enough that my unconscious revealed a different kind of a
painting. I am glad because I enjoyed
painting today."<o:p></o:p></div>

"It took me many weeks from the time New York City started social distancing to
even think about making work. However, I was inspired to join a project for the
United States Postal Service that artist Christina Massey created to raise
awareness of the USPS’s financial difficulties. The concept is to create a
small collaborative Exquisite Corpse-inspired artwork where each
artist (two of us in my case) starts a piece individually and then sends it
through the mail for their partner to finish. I am delighted to be paired with, Shira Toren, an artist I admire
very much. I set up a small table in our dining
area and got to work with the limited materials I have with me. This opportunity has
given me purpose and a chance to connect with my community, which I was sorely
missing. The images you see here are my half of the collaboration. I can't wait to see what happens! (Artwork and
guidelines for the USPS Art Project can be found at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/uspsartproject/?ref=nf&hc_ref=ARQCZdqJheFrmhMhd7HOBwhDBTX4FmCM69Difp26a6-0oTOpSOPDlfXcnz-8IOefm6o">@uspsartproject</a>)</div>

idle times, time passing and how time is spent. The notion of watching clouds,
lying on the grass, looking up with arms folded behind my head is right up
there with sitting and staring off lost in a daydream. Both can be done when
there is time, lots of time. I wanted the cloud shapes to be comedic to
represent the absurdity of our current times. They’re cliche on purpose.
They’re painted on a piece I did fifteen years ago (a shredded drawing of a

"Working from home was
initially challenging. I missed the clear light and the spaciousness of my
studio. I was also disappointed because my one-person
show at Galatea Fine Art in Boston, scheduled for May, would be postponed. Yet
the need to make art remained. After various experiments, I found watercolor worked. I’m interested in combining the structure of
geometry with loose, spontaneous mark making. Though my paintings done at home
continue these interests, they are more atmospheric. There is more of a focus on sea and sky and open space. For now my
exhibition at Galatea Fine Art remains virtual, but hopefully, there will be a
physical exhibition at a later date, and the watercolors that I’m doing now will
lead to some new and interesting directions."</div>

"This installation was born out of the quarantine. At some point,
shortly after the shelter-in-place orders, I
began to think about the work made recently and over the years, some parts
stuffed away on shelves and others hanging out in the studio or in process. I
began to take everything out--found objects, finished works, materials and
supplies--and started building a giant immersive painting/ installation/collage. Bringing together pieces from the studio to join forces in a time of
social distancing is my ode to the studio and an ode to us."</div>

life as we knew it, which has been paired with an increasingly disturbing reality, I had been scheduled to resume work in

"It is hard to get an idea from these two little segments, as this 18-foot-long accordion-fold book will be part of a larger installation. This in-progress book, started in January, is a microcosm of the
whole. The plants, started more in a traditional botanical way, will be overcome
by dangerous, thorny plants. Not as positive as I usually am, but then I've never lived through a pandemic. </div>

"I keep thinking of Jean Paul Sartre's complete distrust of nature. When I lived in Paris in the early '80s I was reading all of Sartre's novels in the original French. He wrote that he lived in constant fear of plants, that he needed to be in the concrete of the city because he had this vision of plants taking over (think Chernobyl). So far the book looks rather tame, but that isn’t what is
within my head. Crucifixion Thorn will take over until the last 10 pages are
only a thicket of thorns. [Nash has photographed the plant in front of one of her pages, below.] I might consider letting a bit
of blue sky start to some through the negative spaces in the final few pages as
a token of hope, but I’ll see how the work unfolds."</div>

studio in my home, and under normal circumstances having this much free time
would be a dream come true as a painter, however I have found it very
difficult to produce any art. I have gotten much solace by taking long walks
in nature. Watching the trees working to produce their blossoms and leaves
finally brought me to a place where I felt expressive. The first thing I did
was make this watercolor/ink painting. I am planning to get outside and do
more plein air painting, as being with nature has been very helpful for me."<o:p></o:p></div>

"My studio is where I
live and work, though little work happened during the early days of the
pandemic. A lot of time was spent staring at studio walls and
noticing the distance between nails and nonexistent paintings. Then a time warp,
furious paintings painted with joy and a sense of immediacy, and all the while
the world was speeding by at a standstill."<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Remembering Our Friend, Kirk Stoller (1960-2020)</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Kirk <span style="text-align: left;">died on April 29th, surrounded by people who loved him, after a 16-month battle with brain cancer. I didn't know Kirk well, </span><span style="text-align: left;">but I recognized in him a kindred spirit: an artist committed to his practice who nevertheless sought to bring artists together through his curatorial projects. While a gallery-represented artist himself, he was also a gallerist. His c2c Project Space in San Francisco mingled artists from both coasts, an initiative he continued as a co-director at Transmitter in Brooklyn. I will leave it to others to tell you more.</span></span></h3>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Kirk's friend Gary Petersen remembers him this way: "I met Kirk when we both were at the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program in 2010. Sometimes when you meet new people you are a little wary of becoming friends too quickly. But not with Kirk. He emanated a warm, caring and generous attitude. And he was a great artist. He became one of my dearest friends. I think everyone tells the story that when he gave you a hug, he would tell you to hug on the left so your hearts cross. 'Heart to heart,' he would say. I think that, in of itself, tell you about Kirk."</span></span></div>

<div style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />"A long-time resident of San Francisco, but a frequent visitor to New York, Kirk
became a quiet force in the art world orbits of both cities. It was after he
retired from the position of Program Developer for Continuing Education at City
College of San Francisco, that he made the permanent move to New York. Kirk
joined Transmitter as a co-director quickly after moving to New York in
2017.<br />

The mission of
c2c project space was to match artists from both coasts in order to bring
artists closer together, find an artistic common ground, all the while
highlighting the differences in their practices. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Kirk was an incredibly warm, gracious and loving friend, colleague, artist,
curator, administrator, brother and son. He was beloved by the arts community
he touched in San Francisco and Brooklyn, and beyond. As his long-time San
Francisco gallery, <a href="https://nyc.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bebdd7a9c34b10f4bece1c28a&id=a47f4e7285&e=e5e51f24ee" target="_blank"><b>Romer Young</b></a> recently shared, 'Kirk's heart was
boundless and his way was gentle. Love, kindness, compassion and optimism were
his guiding forces and anyone who had the fortune of being in his presence can
attest to this. He possessed an inescapable affectation - we are
all better, more thoughtful, and more loving for having known him.'<br />
<br />"Kirk was born in Oregon and raised on a small farm outside of Portland. He
moved to the Bay Area in the 1980s. His work has been exhibited
internationally, including: Mary Ryan Gallery, Leslie Heller Gallery,
Storefront Bushwick Gallery, Gridspace, The Property, Galerie Axel Obiger, and
has been the subject five solo exhibitions at Romer Young. He participated in
numerous artist residencies, including the Golden Foundation, the MacDowell Art
Colony, Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, Willapa Bay and Yaddo.<br />
<br />"His work is currently on view in an exhibition he recently co-curated, <a href="https://nyc.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bebdd7a9c34b10f4bece1c28a&id=801124c58b&e=e5e51f24ee" target="_blank"><b>Club Kirk</b></a>, on view through June 6 at Romer Young.
Transmitter’s next virtual exhibition will be a tribute show, dedicated to the
life and work of Kirk Stoller and those he touched.<br />
<br />"We know this is a difficult time for everyone but we look forward to the days
when we can be together again to celebrate and honor Kirk’s beautiful
life. "</span></div>

"During the pause of normal routine, I’ve been reading and
painting more. I re-worked the painting shown here, <i>Odyssey</i>, in early April and I’m fairly happy with it now. One thing I’m thinking about is how painting is a <i>limited </i>medium – literally defined by
its materials. I recently read Michael Schreyach’s article, <i>Re-created
Flatness: Hans Hofmann’s Concept of the Picture Plane as a Medium of
Expression,</i> which speaks to the richness of painting abstractly now or at any
time. It’s an inspiring thought,
especially when restriction is currently part of our lives: that by embracing
limitation, painters are released to create their own autonomy and meaning, and that there is the possibility for this meaning to take unlimited form."</div>

"In March I brought home supplies
from my studio and set up a table in my absent daughter's room to work on
paper. It's been up and down. Some days I really love it; it's a release, an
outlet, an escape, a response to our situation, and an opportunity to go in new
directions with a variety of materials. But there are days when I find the
horror of the pandemic and our administration overwhelming, and I wonder how we
can keep on going with this thing we do. The existential question is brought

"I really have had a hard time starting new work at
home while unable to get to my studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where I had
just planned out two new paintings. For a good month, I have been feeling the
emotional ups and downs of having to stay home, be furloughed from my job with
no pay (thank god for unemployment!) and worries about my wife who’s at
extremely high risk for this virus. And I had no art supplies. But with the
delivery of a little fold-up table, some paint, brushes, and paper from Blick,
I created a small space with light and a plant. And recently, I started to make
some work. The process of mixing color in containers, laying down a flat coat,
then allowing an image to come to me, has made me the most happy I’ve been in
months. The end result doesn’t matter, only finding myself in the work.”<o:p></o:p></div>

then printed with encaustic on the hotbox. The work looks more weathered but I
think it's richer."<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
"It has been a very slow process
to start making work during this 'pause' but I finally did. In 2015,
I started a series called Daily drawing. The intention was to make a drawing a
day. I quickly realized that I couldn't do a drawing a day but still, I tried.
Some years I drew more, some less. The last drawing I made in this
series was on August 25, 2019. I started up again on March 22nd. This
time, I wanted to do the drawings in pairs. Sometimes I finish both in one day,
like this pair. I've been drawing on dot pattern paper and creating
patterns by connecting the dots. It's a meditative process."<br />

My Massachusetts studio is on the ground floor of a two story building. I live on the second floor, so going to work is a 10-second commute. Even in normal times I spend most of my time indoors working, with a daily break to exercise, so I'm somewhat shielded from the intensity of the pandemic (until I turn on the news). But I miss the freedom of driving to Manhattan, where I have a tiny apartment, and I miss the interaction of family and friends. Zoom and Facebook have been lifelines, even for a contented live-aloner like me. </div>

wet and will likely look quite different when fired and glazed. The main alteration to my work

"I'm like the artist in all the
joke memes we are seeing, no difference to my art practice except even more
time to spread out and sink in and <i>no</i> pressure to be doing other things. I'm lucky that I have a safe place to live and work at home. There's food and power. Recently I did get sick, stricken with something flu-ish
or (light) pneumonia-like. Partly because of that I've been less in my studio
upstairs and more doing small occasional watercolor pieces at the kitchen
table. I've been doing lots of quarantine cooking and painting. I kept the turnip out of the vegetable soup in order to paint it (you can see the soup
pot on the stove)."<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Domesticity</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Nancy Bea Miller's Miller's kitchen table setup brings us to scenes of home and references to domesticity. Home is our safe place. If Facebook is any indication--and certainly the grocery store shelves would bear this out--there's a lot of baking going on. For many, Covid 19 is going to lead to the Covid 15, those dreaded extra pounds brought on by rage baking, stress eating, and pandemic panic. But home is the center of much more: fun, warmth, recycling, and many acts of generosity. It's also a place of political resistance (scroll down). I'm reminded of the tongue-in-cheek feminist t-shirt: <i>Ladies' Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society. </i>Needles can be sharp.</span></h3>

created a Quarantine Gallery of my work for the neighbors who walk
past my home and studio everyday to escape their isolation. I was inspired
by Nat Connaacher’s Instagram post <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/putartinyouryard/" target="_blank"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">#putartinyouryard</span></a>. The lovely,

outside world." </span><br />

summer travel to visit family. Studio time has a new focus. I'm trying to make the most

"I have been working
at home, instead of in my Worcester studio, during Massachusetts' Covid 19 stay-at-home order. I've elected to work small and to use material that I
already had at home. Working small has enabled me to
hold the pieces in my hand. The intimately scaled work feels reminiscent of domestic arts, including sewing or knitting, and in many ways offers
the same comfort in the making. But in the end, it's homework, providing the opportunity to re-use,
re-work, reward, and follow my mantra: waste not, want not."</div>

work so that it can be remembered and understood in the
future." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">"On April 8, after four weeks of sequestration from a plague that sucked out
every bit of life as we knew it, I grabbed any
sheet of paper I could find whose space I could enter and bring forth a bright
sunny spring day with some red singing birds as accents. It didn’t happen. The
paper was a beautiful handmade paper and I did not want to chuck it, so I took
some paper towel soaked with turpentine and kept rubbing out the imagery, leaving some areas showing
through to the white paper and then just played, with no
thought in mind except for moving the balance of the white spaces. That went on
for some time. Then I stopped, picked up my black oilstick, and placed the
stacked bodies."<br />

was frozen: I felt like it was not appropriate to make art when so many people
were dying. As time went on, and it became more apparent that this is yet
another class war, my anger took over and I made this piece. My brother is an essential worker, currently putting in 100+ hours a week, managing

"I've been thinking a lot about mortality these last couple of years, and
that has only been amplified during the pandemic. The idea for this piece came
to me a few years ago, but it was just completed in early April and seems
especially relevant right now. The idea that life is an accumulation of
experience and that it is, at times, both hard and particularly fragile. I am
still able to go to my studio and am used to being alone most days, but this
time of social distancing has been a whole other level of aloneness. It's
caused me to be more grateful for all of the tiny bits of social connective
tissue in my life, those resonating moments of connectedness that hold
everything together."</div>

staying home I have been experimenting with the computer application, Corel
Painter, and have done a series of drawings reflecting my feelings about our
experience. They are done in high resolution with an eye to getting archival
prints made at some point. I use a Wacom drawing tablet and pencil-like stylus, so this work is different for me in that my usual work on paper uses Sumi
ink and other wet materials requiring a brush. Here I am actually drawing,
something I haven’t done in years, and there is a satisfaction in the
physicality of the pencil in contact with the surface. It is ironic that what
originates as a digital medium can feel so satisfyingly direct."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

more. It's made with collaged monoprinted fabric scraps that are stitched on
the removable cups from my bras. I hate those things so I remove them. Between
healing from donating my kidney in December 2019, and now working from home

"It has been incredibly difficult to make art these days. My concentration and focus are off, so I am doing art in little dribs and drabs. I am just going with it, not forcing myself or fighting it. I made this in 2016. It got damaged, and I put it away for a few years
until I figured out how to bring it back to life. As I reworked it recently, I kept
discovering different aspects of the title phrase relating to my own life,
never realizing it might have such universal meaning."</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Person to Person<br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">One thing artists have mentioned in conversation is the lack of human interaction. Yes, we're all texting, emailing, messaging, FaceTiming, and Zooming, so we're in touch. But many of us are not actually touching. Parents miss their out-of-the-house adult children. Grandparents long to hold their kids' kids. I miss the double- or triple-cheek kiss to greet friends. And I think most of us miss the social (non-distancing) frisson of art openings. </span></span><br /> </h3>

"<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Making
art during this time has been more difficult because my five-year-old twins are no
longer in school, so I haveg to juggle homeschooling, childcare, teaching
online, house duties I can no longer pay someone to do, and painting. I don't
get to paint everyday, and when I do, it's usually only two or three hours. These
paintings are significantly smaller and less detailed than what I usually
paint. They are also part of a fundraiser where I donate 100% of sales to a
family struggling financially during this pandemic."</span><br />

results of this pandemic (or as people love to euphemistically say, "these crazy times"), and the feeling that circumstances that we

series less abstract conceptually and more relevant. I am
thinking about who these warriors will be<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">—</span>health care workers, grocery

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While news about the corona pandemic centers rightfully on the
human toll of the virus (and the presidential ineptitude that has made it
worse) another less visible toll has taken place. The resulting quarantine has
drawn the curtain on our creative community. </span></span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">Imagine the disappointment of </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">artists who have worked a year or longer for a solo or group exhibition only to have it postponed, </span><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">or worse, installed and unviewed. The image sent by Deanna Sirlin, directly below, is from her solo exhibition, which is, she says, "in limbo." </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I chose it to open this post because the light that shines through is beautiful, hopeful. But you could just as easily see the darkness enveloping it. Either point of view is valid right now.</span></span></h2>

This post is a way to offer some visibility to artists whose exhibitions were curtailed. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As much as possible I’ve included their comments and info about their shows, including URLs. Be a supporter. Visit their websites (click onto each artist's name in her/his caption) and the online presentations of their shows. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the best of times our exhibitions are seen by a relative handful of people. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sales that result sustain us (artists, galleries, and non-profits often operate on the slimmest of margins). </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you’re in a position to do so, buy art! Most galleries have online platforms for purchasing, and some galleries are open by appointment if the state is not in lockdown. Artists who are not gallery represented are happy to work directly with collectors. In the meantime, take a look at some of what you might not see otherwise.</span><br />

a Bloomberg Philanthropies public art project in Camden, New Jersey, called <i>A New View Camden. </i>We were able to build both of these sculptures in a
warehouse in Charlestown, Mass, which is a natural place for social distancing. We finished yesterday. Now we have to figure out how to store them for a year."</div>
