Tourists! Do Not Visit the USA. We ARE a Dangerous Third World Hellhole... Crazy people with Guns running around all over the place... Calling themselves ICE ICE Baby Agents...

In Washington DC the museums have been Whitewashed... They're so Bland that they're not worth visiting... Trump Replaced Dali & Picasso Paintings at the Smithsonian With Dogs Playing Poker and Elvis on Black Velvet. They removed the Hope Diamond because in the Trump era, there's No Hope!

The Smithsonian should tell Donald Trump "NO"... NO Censorship, NO Propaganda, NO Insanity, NO Rewriting History... The Smithsonian should display what they think is important without interference by Mad King Donald.

Virtual Journey: The Smithsonian and Washington DC.  Instead of Buying Gasoline and Driving There, Take this "Magic Trip" Instead! A Guided Tour to the Places My Family Wanted to See...

Scroll Down for My Favorite Pictures... When I Lived in Washington DC My Family would Come to Visit Often and I Was the Tour Guide... Taking Them Wherever They Wanted to Go. For Example: Aunt Roberta Wanted to See the First Ladies Inauguration Party Gowns... A Place I Had Never Heard of and Had No Interest in but... It was THEIR Vacation so I Took Them There!

While they were Busy, I Walked to the Next Exhibit. Automata Made in Germany. Robots Most Famously Used in Coo Coo Clocks... Some Have Dancing Couples... and are Quite Large... 

and I Loved the Political Buttons Collection.

and Uncle Harry Wanted to See the US Marine Silent Marching Drill... The Thing that Makes this Special is that Usually a Drill Sargent Shouts out Orders like Hup Two Three Four, Right, Left Present Arms and So Forth... Well, These Marines March in Complicated Patterns SILENTLY...

Ray wanted to Hear Jesse Jackson Speak at a Memorial March on Washington Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. We were Standing about Half Way Back and there were Many Public Address Speakers all along the Reflecting Pool. Since Electricity Travels Faster than Sound... by the Time We Heard the Speech it was Really Echoey and I Couldn't Understand a Word... However, I was Moved Because Jesse Jackson Had that Classic Preacher Man Delivery... It was a Moving Experience...

This is the REAL Spaceship from Project Mercury.
The Botto is Quite Burnt from Traveling Thru Earth's Atmosphere. It's Interesting to See the Old Equipment... Way Before Computers.


There are Movies "The Dream is Alive" and "To Fly!" at the Air and Space Museum. It is Uplifting and I've Seen it Many Times. Featuring Narration by Walter Cronkite and SUPER CLEAR IMAX Films of Rocket Launches and Home Movies Taken by Astronauts While they Were in Space - and Most Importantly. Films of The Earth as Seen From Space... Heroic Music... Pacabel's Canon...

also... At the Same Theater there are Traveling Shows... I Remember a 3D Japanese Animation called "We are Born of Stars." EPIC.

Were the Exhibits Come to Life at Night... Amelia Earhart Saves the Day by Awakening The Statue of Abraham Lincoln to Defeat the Egyptian Pharoah... That's a Tour well worth Taking!

At the National Art Gallery they Have Two Buildings. One of Old Masters and another of Modern Art. My Favorite was the Salvadore Dali Last Supper Painting. This Painting is in Its Own Dark Room... Since I Have Visited it Many Times I Noticed that The Same People were often there... Like it was a Church for Prayer and Meditation... a Holy Space.  

Alexander Calder Mobile at the Modern Art Wing 

of the National Art Gallery.

It Moves Around and Around Floating in the Currents of the Air Conditioning... one day They had a Gamelan Orchestra from Indonesia Playing in this room. Metal Bells, Xylophones Gongs Played by 20 People - in a very Echoey Space.

Modern Art Wing - 

The Building was Designed by I M Pei... 

Between the Old Masters Wing and the Modern Art Wing is a Conveyor Belt That People Ride on. With a Psychedelic Light Show made out of Thousands of Light Bulbs.

Next to the People Mover is a Waterfall that is Part of The Mirrored Pyramids Shown in the Photo Below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUrCJfjg6mM

Here's a Link to a Video of that Waterfall. 

View of the Modern Art Wing of the National Art Gallery - and Glass Pyramids... above the Restaurant in the Basement... Near the Human Conveyor Belt Shown above.

My Favorite Painting in The Modern Art Building of the National Art Gallery is Picasso The Tragedy 
 
One Day I Took an LSD Trip There and Looked at All the Paintings... and This One Made Me Actually Feel Cold in My Body... True Synesthesia... That Night we all went to a Tangerine Dream Concert at the Fabulous Warner Theater.

So Many of the Other Paintings Seemed Trivial and Insignificant... Andy Warhol? SO WHAT? 
Roy Lichtenstein? Copycat... 

One Day I saw an Installation of a Full Size House Covered Entirely With Mirrors. We put paper Booties on and Walked inside and It was an Infinite Room. 

I loved the Giant Wall Hanging by MIRO.

For Decades I Thought it was a Portrait of a Cow but then one day I Read The Card Describing the Work of art and It said "Woman" - 34 Feet Tall - Hanging in the Main Room Under the Calder Mobile...

They Have Traveling Exhibits and It's Worth Your Time to ask a Docent or Guard What's Happening Now... I was lucky to see Original Leonardo da Vinci Mechanical Drawings... and they are Much More Impressive in real life that in a Book... 

The Other Exhibit that my friend Charolette made sure we went to was the Doll House by Chippendale. He made it for his Daughter and there is "Chippendale" Furniture in Every Room.

In the Old Masters Wing there are Four Paintings Called "The Voyage of Life" by Thomas Cole. 

Youth... 

Childhood...

Manhood... 


Old Age...

Now That's Some Art With Meaning... 
It Tells a Story... OUR Story!

They also Have Classical Music Concerts for free in the Old Masters Art Gallery. I saw "PDQ Bach" - a Classical Music Quartet of NEW MUSIC Composed in the Old Style by Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller and the Song "Convoy"

Natural History Museum:

This Stuffed Elephant Seems to Be
Charging at ME... Danger Danger!





In the Museum of Natural History they Have Many Stuffed Animals including this Walrus... 

and a Giant Whale...


In the Same Building... ROCKS!

The Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian. James Smithson was a Rock Hound and Donated His Collection. He Paid for the Building of the Smithsonian Museum.

I was more delighted with the Opals than the Diamonds

Tensegrities by Buckminster Fuller...
at the Hirshorn Museum. 

Quite Often the Hirshorn has very bad quality Paintings but I Have Found that I can Walk Very Quickly thru those Rooms and Move on to the Interesting Exhibits... I saw Lucian Freud Paintings there... Quite Good but Horrible!
I'm So Glad I Don't Live in HIS World. 

at the Hirshorn I saw an Andy Warhol Installation. 
It was a 3D White Sculpture of a Woman's Head.
They He Projected a Film of The Same Woman's Head onto the Sculpture... Quite "Creepy" but Insightful... She wasn't doing much but occasionally she would Talk... but not often... and there was no sound BUT... Excellent!

Abraham Lincoln Sculpture inside
the Lincoln Memorial Washington DC

I've gone there Many Times including Once when a Boy Scout Troup was singing "America the Beautiful" and then after they were done, the Park Ranger said... "No Singing in the Memorial" - BUT - He Waited for them to be Done... That's an Educational Lesson there!

I also Marched in an Anti War Protest March from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial during the Presidency of George Bush the Father... 
There was a Parade Permit that expired at a Specific time and Anyone IN THE STREET Would be Arrested.
Well, About 50 People Intentionally Sat Down in the Street in order to Be Arrested... as a Part of their Experience at the Protest March... I was Standing on the Sidewalk watching the Jack Booted Storm Troopers haul the Anti-War Activists away on a Couple of Busses... MY CHOICE was to Not Get Arrested that Day... I Happened to be High on LSD That Day and Everything Seemed So Very Significant... Especially that Decision... I was interviewed by TV News... a Man on the Street Opinion...  and my Neighbor saw me and Later said that I was Babbling Like a Jackass... I Thanked Her and Said... If I Made You Unhappy, I Know I'm Doing the Right Thing!  

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

I have Visited the Wall but...
I Know No Names of People That Died in Vietnam.
One Traditional Way to Remember the Dead is to 
Make a Charcoal Rubbing of their Name...

The Wall as Seen from The Air. 
It's a Cronological List of the Dead.
At the Beginning of the Wall it is Very Short and then Near the Center it is Tall... then It Dwindles Down to be Very Short at the End. Just Like the Actual War... 

Jefferson Memorial

It's Right Next to The Tidal Basin with Paddleboats.

I never Rode those Boats because During the Times I Had a Wife or Girlfriend We Never Selected to Go... 
and During those Years when I did Not Have a Girlfriend I Didn't want to go alone... 
This is also where the Cherry Blossom Trees Are... a Gift from the Country of Japan. 



Lafayette Park Across The Street from
The White House...

At The Anti War Protests I Played the BIG Marching Band Bass Drum in a Drum Circle... The Owner of the Drum was tired of holding up that heavy Drum so he asked Me to Play it. At a Different Protest March I played the Frame Drum with Buddhists... They played a Very Odd and Difficult Rhythm. I asked Why and They Said It Intentionally Required my Totally Focused Attention... as a Tool to Make the Meditation Work. 

White House as Viewed from Lafayette Park 

Where I went to Many Protest Marches.

I Went to a NORML Protest of Marijuana Laws.

The Police DID NOT Arrest anyone for Smoking 

because that would make for a Bad Headline in the 

Newspaper... It started to Rain and I wanted to walk back

to my car and Get a Raincoat but... I couldn't Figure out

How to Cross Pennsylvania Ave... The Pedestrian Crossing

at 17th Street is Difficult to Figure out When It's Safe...

So I Went to a Museum and admired ART... 

A Couple of Hours Later, I was No Longer Stoned

and I was able to Cross the Street Safely.

Anti-War Protest in Lafayette Park Across 

the Street from the White House.

I met this Lady... Sadly, She was too Insane for 

me to Hold a Conversation With... 

But I Did Learn that She used to Protest with her Husband but He was Killed while trying to Blow Up the Washington Monument with a Truck Bomb... 

She's in the Movie Farenheit 911 by Michael Moore.

We went on a Tour of the White House with Aunt Roberta. 

She rolls around in a Wheelchair all the time so... We got to Take a Special Tour... We went to the Beginning of the Line or Tourists and were Let In First... then We Rode Elevators in a section of the Mansion that is OFF LIMITS to the General Public... I was thrilled to see Behind the Scenes... areas that had an Obvious "Employee" Look to them. 

MUCH MORE COMING!

Alt National Park Service: You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit. America is standing up. Let’s keep the momentum going—more protests are planned for next week. Together, we can stop this coup.
Remember, the resistance won’t be televised.
Tomorrow, there will be more of us! 

A big shout out to the people in Vermont where JD Vance arrived yesterday after his shameful and embarrasing appearance at the Oval Office attacking Zelenskyy.
He was met with a protest from hundreds of people and then harassed at the ski resort he had reservations to go with his family. Vermont people has been rentlessly protesting and showing their undivided support to Ukraine. They couldn’t even ski and JD and his family had to leave to an undisclosed location. Many more planning on continuing to protest until he leaves. Many videos and Sources on Bluesky and Threads.

One thing we discussed last night at my first event, was developing a positive feedback loop for Senate Republicans who push back on Trump. I can’t tell you the number of times I have posted when Senate Republicans like Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, or Mitch McConnell stand up to him, and instead of wanting to thank them, we look down at them and roll our eyes and say degrading things about them. 

When they stand up to Trump, they are standing up for democracy, and we need to thank them. They do it at personal cost, because when they do something against his will, the MAGA base comes for them, so there needs to be some reward and gratification from people who appreciate their efforts. It is something I would like you all to consider. Writing a thank you to their office when they do something that counters him. Because right now, that’s all we got in Congress!

March 14th is WAY more important than people realize... 

https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1izh66x/march_14th_is_way_more_important_than_people/

On March 14th we face a government shutdown over the debt ceiling, and WE NEED TO ACT BEFORE THEN, FOR 3 REASONS:

ALL NEWS REPORTING is going to focus on the budget crisis, with practically no bandwidth for covering protests

THIS MAY LITERALLY BE OUR LAST CHANCE to avert complete disaster. We know that Trump takes directions from Putin, whose goal is bring about the collapse of our country. The debt ceiling crisis is the perfect opportunity for him to achieve this, and we need *disruptive* action (not just protests) to stop this from happening.

HEARTS & MINDS WILL FAVOR THE SIDE THAT STRIKES* FIRST. Compare this situation: "How can you throw us into a budget crisis when we're already trying to deal with a national labor action?" versus "How can you even think about pushing labor action when we're already trying to deal with a major budget crisis?" The first scenario makes the GOP look much worse, and gives us much stronger ground to stand on.

* Your mind may go to a "general strike" but there's no way we could pull that off in two weeks. A much better fit (both in timing and for American workers in general) would be widespread SICKOUTS, SLOWDOWNS, AND CONTINUOUS BOYCOTTS

Q: What is it about liberal Americans that makes Republicans so angry?
A: If I had to guess? Republicans tend to operate under a “Just-World Hypothesis”, the idea that the world is what you put into and if you're moral and hardworking, you'll get good outcomes and if you slack off, you earn whatever misfortune happens to you.
Just-world hypothesis - The Decision Lab
Just-world Hypothesis is a concept comparable to what the Western world describe as "karma". It is this tendency to find reasons of moral fairness.
An example of that thinking is the Grasshopper and the Ant Fable, where the Ant works hard all summer while the Grasshopper played and by winter, the Ant lives while the Grasshopper starves and dies.
“Come in the legal way”
“Don't spread your legs then”
“Don't go looting and committing crimes”
“Maybe if you cooperated with the police, you wouldn't be in this mess”
These are all examples of faith that the system is working as it's supposed to and that it's the moral failing of the individuals who they see as “looking for a free handout”.
Liberals however, tend to see the world like the Good Place.
The Good Place is an American fantasy comedy television series created by Michael Schur and the serialized half-hour (22 minutes, the rest being advertising time), which debuted on September 19, 2016 and concluded on January 30, 2020 on NBC. When Eleanor Shellstrop finds herself in the afterlife, she's both relieved and surprised that she's made it into the Good Place. But it doesn't take long for Eleanor to realize she's there by mistake. She hides in plain sight from the Good Place's architect.
Anyone who has watched the show might remember Doug Forcett, a guy who hallucinated what the afterlife was like so accurately that he spent the rest of his days trying to do the most moral actions ever to get points to get into the Good Place. He became vegan on radishes, tested cosmetics on himself to spare animals, lived out in the wilderness to lower his carbon footprint, donated to charities, refused to use a car, filtered his own water to avoid damaging the environment, etc.
Problem was, Doug was never going to make it.
The system that ran the afterlife was by some fluke, not fair in its judgment and sentencing but nobody was aware of that until Michael saw that one of the best examples of humanity was failing the Good Place standards.
Liberals don't trust that the systems will always be fair to those doing everything right.
So to sum it up, whenever Liberals support programs meant to act as a safety net to innocent people, it runs the risk of criminals benefiting in some way from it and exploiting it to get ahead. Usually it's accepted for the greater benefits as part of a Blackstone's ratio, where it's considered better to have a presumption of innocence until proven guilty rather than putting the burden of proof upon the accused. After all, do you really want to be falsely accused for the sake of ensuring no guilty people escape justice?
To Republicans, that's inexcusable.
They worked to get where they are. Why are Liberals rewarding all these criminals? Why are they willing to let these undeserving cretins get away with this to do more harm?
Someone *has* to be held accountable, blamed for the rotten things that happen to them.
To Liberals however, it's not about finding a villain. Sometimes, it's no one's fault because it's more due to a glitch in the system.
What's the point of a system if it's not fixing the problems for people who aren't getting what they put into? Every single law made is never going to be followed perfectly. Why should the larger population suffer for some vague notion that some asshole somewhere is suffering for their poor choices that you'll never see firsthand?
So that's where we are. Liberals tick off Republicans because they don't adhere to the expectations Republicans have of what should happen and what they think will happen by certain actions (which is often not supported by past outcomes that Liberals point to in history). Liberals look like they don't care about evil people getting away with harmful actions when the truth is that they're more occupied with protecting people who are contributing to society over punishing the ones who don't. They're the defense lawyers to Republican prosecution where they're not endorsing crime, but refereeing to make sure the system doesn't go Spanish Inquisition on people.

And an alert reader responded:

If conservatives were truly so interested in punishing the masses for the misdeeds of "a few" law-breakers, there would be strict gun control policies in place. But we all know that's not going to happen.
The answer is much simpler: Follow the money. Conservatives love welfare for the rich, because it's usually money they're getting for free from the government. Conservatives hate welfare for the poor, because -- even though the source of the money is exactly the same -- they complain that they're paying for it with "their" taxes. (Of course, they pay those taxes because they've become rich on the blood, sweat, and wallets of the poor.)
And the "poor conservatives"? Well, they're just angry because they haven't gotten their piece of the conservative pie, and when they look for blame, they're told it's the liberals' fault (this is where the rich conservatives thank God for God and for culture wars). And they're stupid enough to believe it. Because if they were actually smart, they wouldn't be poor conservatives in the first place.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial here today to protest what they consider the antiscience actions of President Donald Trump in the nearly 7 weeks since he took office. The nation’s capital is just one of the many locations hosting the rally, called Stand Up for Science, with about 30 events nationwide and additional rallies outside the United States, bringing the expected total to more than 150 events. https://www.science.org/content/article/thousands-gather-across-u-s-stand-science-events

Lawrence O’Donnell Spots Major Sign Many Trump Voters Have 'Now Turned Against’ Him
The MSNBC host said the president is in trouble with his own voters after weeks of economic turmoil.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said the latest poll numbers are terrible news for President Donald Trump as he struggles with core economic issues.

“He has failed every day on the economy and he has surrounded himself with the most incompetent Cabinet... in history,” he said. “And the public, including Trump voters, have noticed and have turned on Donald Trump.”

O’Donnell said that just as Nixon had partisans even after he resigned, Trump has a core that will not turn on him.

“But the marginal voter who made Donald Trump, that swing voter who made Donald Trump president, has now turned against Donald Trump,” he said.

Multiple polls show Trump’s overall approval rating is plunging, down 5 points in just one month in a new Fox News poll, for example.

The poll numbers are even more dire on the economy.

O’Donnell noted that was once the president’s strongest issue, but “that’s all over now” after weeks of economic instability trigged by Trump’s tariffs and trade wars.

That same Fox News poll finds that just 38% approve of how he is handling the economy, while a new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds a 37% approval on that same issue.

“That number used to be often 20 points higher than that for Donald Trump,” O’Donnell said.

He said voters who liked Trump’s campaign promise to raise tariffs “have learned the hard way” that they will ultimately pay for those tariffs.

“And they don’t like it,” O’Donnell said. “And so Donald Trump’s power is slipping, and could slip away if the polling disaster Donald Trump is personally facing right now tonight spreads to Republicans in the Senate and the House facing reelection next year.”

He predicted that those GOP lawmakers would then “abandon” Trump as they face difficult reelection battles.

See his full analysis below: https://youtu.be/WMV48-Qoe2k

I don't want to hear ONE FUCKING COMPLAINT from ANY Trump voters for the duration of your life about ANY, ANY fucking problems brought on by this dictator or his corrupt and incompetent cabinet picks. You lost your job because of Elon? STFU. Stuff it. Swallow it. Choke on it. We all have to suffer because you lack the ability to see truth and think critically. National Parks closed or dirty?. Stuff it. Your child gets sick with e-coli. Stuff it. You get the measles, stuff it. Your bank rips you off? Stuff it. Your local health clinic closes? The air and water you breathe is filthy now? Stuff it. Your plane had a crash landing, deal with it. You lost your health care, suck it. They sold off public lands for logging near your home, stuff it! Fema isn't there to help you after the hurricane? Stuff it. Your cousin dies of sepsis because she couldn't get an abortion, stuff it. You can't afford groceries and the food banks are closed, too fucking bad, go hungry. Your income is down because no tourists want to visit your eatery? Too fucking bad. Your nephew gets disappeared by ICE, stuff it. Keep your fucking mouth closed. It was so obvious in 2016 he was a wannabe tyrant and most definitely a charlatan. You only need a miniscule amount of intuition and 3 brain cells to know he's a dangerous incompetent mobster. You voted for this. No one wants to hear it. You voted for this? You fucking OWN IT until your dying breath. You just spit on and dishonored every person who served our country and the family members of those who sacrificed for our freedoms...
