The political situation in the US looks like EVERYBODY just wants to blow it all up. Anger and Despair live in the hearts of all Americans. Whatever.

Approx. 700 young women and girls were murdered and left on the ground around Juarez between 1993 and 2013. Gang raped, tortured, dismembered, and burned, the girls were between 8 and 25. Search Wiki: "femicide in Ciudad Juarez" Not far from Epstein's mansion in New Mexico, purchased in 1993.
In 2003, archeologists uncovered a spiral temple in Ecuador. The site was dated to 3500 BC and is at Santa Ana La Florida Ecuador. What they found rocked the world, fine pots with cacao, jade masks, and jewelry made from spondylus shell from the coast. This garment was made with spondylus beads
Got to pay your dues to sing the blues Man, my head is covered in scars
Consider this. The US military has lots of bombs, missiles, drones, planes, and bombers to blow shit up. It's EASY to just fly in, blow shit up. What's not easy is to provide aid: food, medicine, jobs, education, yeah, that takes a lot of work. Hell, the US won't even do that for Americans.
Since i don't see anything about US airports and the 10% shutdown, here's my photo comments from Japan, a civilized country.

August 9th, 1945. Nagasaki Today is the 80th anniversary of the nuclear attack on women and children, a massacre that killed 50,000 civilians in a novel new way, death that could be studied by doctors and scientists. A war crime so nice it had to be done twice
Auguat 6th, 1945. Hiroshima Today is the 80th Anniversary of the greatest war crime in history. 100,000 people were killed when a nuclear weapon was dropped on women and children and turned a city into radioactive rubbish. It was evil, and the U$A has never admitted the horror, indeed, celebrates it
The Chinese are SO FAR ahead in EV technology that the U$A will never catch up. Never. While Americans are busy making the past GREAT and trudge & trundle to work on packed freeways encased in choking fumes, the Chinese have created a new future and dominate a world market.
If I insist upon a treetop A treetop insists on me Up there I see the wild world And the wild world then sees me
The mask is off, and the U$A no longer pretends to be nice, caring, reliable, honest, civilized, or even a democracy. Isn't that ironic? Brown shirts in masks reveal the true face of predatory America

My Epiphone archtop & old Delta Blues I have to sing with music, but it all started with folks working in the sun all day picking crops in the fields singing and chanting to share their pain with the sky, with the earth, where we all wind up anyway.
What is the obsession with outer space? Why spend billions to go to the moon, to go into the cold void? A metaphor for 8 billion crazy people: Worship nothingness Destroy the One true creative miracle.
March 9, 1945 Tokyo The USAAF destroyed Tokyo with 300 B-29s filled with Napalm bombs. 200,000 Japanese died, mostly women and children, carefully calculated to be a horror show. The worst bombing raid in human history. The 80th anniversary of a war crime the U$A has never acknowledged.
February 14, 1945. Dresden. Today is the 80th anniversary of the bombing when 25,000 people died. The United States Air Force estimated that 100,000 civilians would be in Dresden fleeing the Russians in the East, and decided it would be a perfect time to use Napalm, their new weapon.
Invicta Low Chassis I got to caretake one of these when I was in college. Hard riding chassis with quick steering, the one my uncle had with a GMC straight six replacement engine tuned for dirt track racing. Brutally fast
I bought the Corn Maiden for $40 in Albuquerque NM from CL. She is pottery 18" high and hand painted. She is marked "Acoma" on the bottom and I have never seen anything like her. She's in pretty good shape but I had a wooden case made in Taos so she would always have a home.
Eva Zeisel was a ceramic designer and the first woman to have a solo show at MOMA. I never knew I could love a teaset...
