I guess I made a mistake by selecting this topic for today, no one is reading ---that's OK . I'll try again tomorrow .

Surreal Men
Ya-wanna Believe that "REAL MEN" would "stand-uP" to trump, that REAL MEN would "speak TRUTH to POWER", that REAL MEN would FORCEFULLY express their MALCONTENT of trump's Policies and Procedures , that REAL MEN would fucking DO SOMETHING !!! The hideous FACT that they sit around and "do NOTHING" questions whether or not they ARE ---> Men <--- at all . I say, they are NOT >REAL MEN< , they are "adult CHILDREN" and nothing less . That is my OPINION .
Thing is, what EXACTLY IS a Real Man ? "Aye, THERE'S the rub."
"Joe, where you goin' with that DUMB in your hand ?"
I figured the 'safe way' to present my Views was through Academia, acknowledging the Works of GIANT Others is "tried and true" , but the problem was that of "Relevancy", shit "looked good on paper" but the Reality didn't support "IT" . I admit, it's HARD to 'fit' 20 odd years of Study and Research into one or two blogs , I mean, I was satisfied but only to a POINT and not beyond . I also figured what I had contributed was Enough, rather, HAD-TO-BE 'enough' : ya can't transcribe every Quote, it would read as a series of footnotes, merely strung together as beads on a necklace, it simply does NOT "Read Well" and reflects POORLY on the Author or Pen-man . "So it goes."
My Frustration was ignited by Nicole Wallace and her incessant question, "WHERE IS CONGRESS, WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS WHO SPEAK 'OFF CAMARA' AND 'OFF MIKE', BUT WHO STEADFASTLY REFUSE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST TRUMP >>>IN PUBLIC<<< ?" Good Question--- . Wallace cited the "Man-O-Sphere" , and the "Bro-Sphere" and identified Joe Rogan as LEADER of the "BOYS TOWN" menagerie {{Managerie}} . She noted that Rogan "Handed over" the "boys-to-man" contingent, that proved to be INDESPENSIBLE to trump's victory . Apparently I missed all that, I don't know how, I THOUGHT I was "Paying Attention" .

Some mornings the "first sentence" is impossible to see, feel or hear...other mornings I have so many that I can't see, feel or hear which one upon which I should focus, leaving me verklempt, frustrated and even exasperated----"Feast or Famine" gets us to There .
I took yesterday off, my apologies, to plant the zucchini, which could only happen once I completed preparing the small garden that would be their new home . I figured to bring out my clipboard and legal pad to make notes of the Thoughts that surfaced ["arrived"] . I wanted to "Hold" >Manhood< in my tiny monkey brain, standard practice for one such as myself, so that I could derive today's Effort, and offer insights and out-sights that would benefit my Gentle Readers, and aid in Understanding . Good Intention, but ALL-of-Us now Understand >Good Intentions< . My Mind and Heart were "in the Right Place", but not much else . "Stymied" illuminates Frustration, but I-gotta figure 'Stymied' is a DIRECT RESULT of `Confusion` . There's actually a 'great line' for that, "There's nothing worse than a confused Psychology Major " . Yup, Truth .
There's a marked 'sterility' in hospital literature, meaning, back at the Beginning, I planned to write a book "On Manhood" because I figured We, as in "We the People", NEEDED a >Manual< so that we could recognize our location with respect to Life . Toward this End I began collecting notes and Quotes , that I may use them to describe 'what-it-is-to-be-a-Man' and to supply something of an Historical Context that would feature REAL MEN whose Ideals and Principles have "Passed the Test of Time", and who SHOULD be considered as WORTHY of Present Day >Emulation< . Have I mentioned "Good Intentions" ??????????

BY DEFINITION the results of experiments cannot be "good" or "bad", they can only be either "expected" or "UN-expected" . We know the results of Satan's Experiment on Job, but I MUST enter a Caution ; the end of Job's Story, where he is given a THOUSAND TIMES what was taken from him, was a fucking RE-Write. The Original Ending was abandoned because Job received NOTHING , and THAT scared the fuck out of later editors, they LITERALLY "could not live with it" so they changed it TO SUIT THEIR NEEDS . Vonnegut would snide, "So it goes" .
Trump has almost single-handedly DESTROYED "The American Dream" and supplanted it with HIS ---> NIGHTMARE . We're in the midst of that Nightmare, one in which Positive Movement SEEMS Impossible. One word : It ISN'T .
Trump is no "Black Hole", a something from which even Light can't escape, rather he is like an open cesspool, and for me, I prefer "Quick-Sand" . Know that quick-sand is a FLUID, and as such it is capable of suspending objects in the way that water allows items to FLOAT . The deal with THAT is VIOLENT Movements only draw one INTO IT whereas GENTLE Movements QUARANTEE advance toward Solid Ground = SAFETY .
I need my Gentle Readers to consider this .
Lore-less
Some folks have considered trump to be the "Anti-Christ", the One who single-handedly Destroys Human-Kind . I ain't buyin' it, know why ? NO Miracles . Should trump perform a Miracle >>>> we are most definitely FUCKED . Still, he's an Agent of the Lore, Biblical Lore, but Lore nonetheless . At THAT level, he is an Agent of Transformation , he has already transformed the World's Status Quo, lessening its hold on Truth, Morality, and Ethics . His actions have DEMANDED >Attention< because he has brought us to what he wants to be an "Extinction Event" the "Extinction" of American Democracy .
Recall WHY Lucifer was cast from Heaven : 2 words ; he coveted God's AUTHORITY . Lucifer was created Holy and full of Wisdom, he was also physically PERFECT, Beautiful as they say BUT he was also given "Free Will" and it was THIS that produced CATASTROPHIC Results and STILL does, to this day . Now look at trump . He COVETED the Love and Respect of the SUPER-RICH but they REJECTED him, despite his MONEY . He was considered by them to be vulgar, crass and base UNSUITABLE for Residence IN THE UPPER REALMS . He HATED "them" for that ----------still does . But look what happened, he became PERFECT for another Satanic Experiment .
"God works in Mysterious Ways" .

Folks have been morbidly ASTONISHED by trump's >Durability<, meaning, NOTHING seems to effect him in a way or ways that would profoundly alter his 'Trajectory' . I hazard that he, like the Biblical Character Cain, [the one who slew his own brother Able], is PROTECTED by Divine Aegis . In this we must ask, did God order Cain to smite Abel, TO TEACH US A LESSON ???? Did God send trump, TO TEACH US A LESSON ????
Suppose that "Lesson" is a simply, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER, which is directed TO THE WORLD !!!! Elsewhere I have insisted that trump 'ain't just' American, he's WAAAAAAAY fucking MORE = He is the Product of Western Civilization, and when you combine THAT with "Divine Aegis" what we "get' is WORLD FUCKING SUFFERING !!!
Once we "go" Biblical, it isn't long before we encounter "The Book of Job" . The Devil, Satan, punknaciously* questions the "Durability" of God's Most Devout, Job . Satan wants God to "TEST" Job and Job's Devotion, and God is SOOOOOO Confident in Job, He agrees to let Satan have a "Free Hand" . In short, Satan figures to employ SCIENCE in what is OBVIOUSLY a "Scientific EXPERIMENT" . Who figured Satan to be a SCIENTIST ???? I didn't .
Trump is TESTING Human-Kind ????
Trump is a SATANICAL EXPERIMENT ?????
When it comes to the Bible we gotta-be SOOOOOOOO Careful .
