If you live in the U.S. and are eligible to vote, today would be an excellent day to do it - whether you got your rights under the original Constitution (white men), the 15th amendment (black men), or the 19th amendment (all women). The 24th amendment means we don't have to pay a poll tax, and if you're 18, you can thank the 26th amendment for not making you wait till 2012.
Tomorrow, on the other hand, would not be a good day to vote.

ꒌ ВЕЋ СЈУТРА, ОД ТРЕЋЕГ АПРИЛА: више сунца, мање ГаргаМила? 😄
► █░▓ ~ VOTE COLOR, VOTE LIFE ~ 🌅 - OVER JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS it finally begins: the first really free presidential election day in Montenegro. Without heavy totalitarian control, ballot engineering, various obstruction techniques, unfair reporting by the state media, pressurizing on personal basis, illegal influencing and other "victory technology". At least we hope it will be like that.
Soon after 20:00 today, April 2nd 2023, we'll get to hear: do we have the first president of the country since 1945 not coming from the communist nest, or not? Is the person ruling the country for the last 34 years finally sent to where he belongs? This will bear huge, almost historical consequences.
The pre-electoral silence in Montenegro lasts only 24 hours before the election day. I took a stroll yesterday and to my surprise the ban was strictly observed: two big advertising campaign billboards I was going to photograph and show you, have been duly removed from the main square. So I went on and looked if there was anything else left? I saw a poster behind a high window, standard fixed designation at the seat of a party, and nothing else.
However, I saw two graffiti and decided to combine them instead of those massive billboard portraits/advertising removed. The graffiti last longer and are more spontaneous. The one on the left literally names a candidate. The other is ethnic symbol, of the identity which has been under pressure for so many years. These two insignias will - let's put it metaphorically - stand on trial today and one shall win. There will be a major change, or there won't be any change. These two symbols were not my choices, they were the only ones I found left on April 1st. Without my partiality they should speak for themselves.
So I'd like to direct your attention to the following: Which one has more color? Which has more depth and perspective? Which is closer to youth / future and light? Which is obviously closer to Christianity and has more symmetry?

Now it's time to wear my special T-shirts more often again!
The German word “Schwachkopf” translates as “Moron”, "Imbecile", "Weakhead". The logo and font are based on a well-known German hair cosmetics manufacturer ('Schwarzkopf').
One Step for a Nation, One step for Humanity?
Where is the Mr. or Ms. Smith when we need them the most? Maybe this will be the person and he or she has arrived in Washington to help the little guy and do the right thing for our nation & for the world.
Our nation is at a cross road and the path ahead isn't very clear to many of us. Whoever wins this election the road ahead for them will be always full of political situations and obstacles that will always be changing, that will be the true challenge. I pray that those decisions will reflect the best interest of the average individual of this nation.
And not one person vendetta!
Or is this just a pipe dream that I'm having again?

i'm voting for obama but that's only 'cuz the major networks haven't invited ?uest to a debate.
since white women running mates are in vogue these days, i think we can all safely assume i'd be his top pick for vice-president. here are my deliverables:
a) political science was one of my majors in college. i specialized in foreign policy.
b) i can name about 46 supreme court decisions i disagree with
c) i respect the constitution, can quote the bill of rights, and can accurately identify the section that details the role of vice-president
d) i can locate pakistan on a map
e) i am not "ivy league"
f) i know a lot of guys name joe
g) i live in the illa. that should count as military experience
h) i never had sex with that woman
i) i only own one house and i can locate it on a map
j) i bought bill ayers book but i didn't really like it (thus, i was never invited over for dinner). i did meet his brother on a train car once... ironically, it was while i was reading the book.
k) mr okp never tried to secede from the united states
l) i am opposed to putting lipstick on pitbulls. it seems like a form of animal cruelty and, frankly, is a waste of perfectly good lipstick.

I did this in 2016 commenting on the lack of choice in candidates as neither appealed to me. If only I had known what I know now after 4 years or ranting, bullying, hateful, disrespectful , and obnoxious behavior. Please let us regain our American Soul. Nov. 3, 2020.
On my way to the polls !!!! I can't wait to see if the "Maverick" or The "Voice of Change" will be victorious.
This photo is just an edited version of my 4th of July picture. Fireworks I shot from my deck and the Flag at Point State Park
I can't wait to end this 4 years of "Human Carnage." Please vote Biden-Harris if you live in the US and you can vote.
It would be nice if these would put an end to all of the ads, mail, solicitations of donations and other annoyances, but I don't think that will end for another few weeks.

I participated in the democratic process, but the election didn't turn out as I had hoped; as usual, big money squashed the regular folks (both locally and nationally). The results are very disappointing (locally) and frightening (nationally).

"GOP, Generation Of Peace, 1972. Thank you for your support."
A block of political campaign stamps given to supporters and potential donors by Richard Nixon during his run for a second term as U.S. president in 1972. "GOP" refers here to "Generation of Peace," a phrase that Nixon used in speeches about ending American involvement in the Vietnam War, but it also means "Grand Old Party," which, of course, is another name for the Republican Party.

A new portrait tribute of US Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton by British artist Stephen B. Whatley.
As a British citizen with great affection for the USA, he naturally can not vote in the US Election - so was determined to 'vote' with his artistic statement.
The expressionist painter set to work two days after the first Presidential debate, so impressed by Mrs Clinton's passionate, eloquent argument of conscience, delivered with strength,warmth and humour, in opposition to the Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Studying a series of recent photographs Whatley sought to capture on canvas both Hillary Clinton's beauty and presidential demeanour; and throughout, a positive reflection of the American spirit of hope.
In November 2008 Stephen B. Whatley painted a tribute to Barack Obama just days before the US Election which was published in TIME. His work is in private collections worldwide, including many states of the USA; and in public collections including BBC Heritage, The Royal Collection, London Transport Museum, Newman University & Westminster Cathedral. His 30 paintings commissioned by the Tower of London in 2000 are permanently reproduced throughout Tower Hill Underpass that leads to the Tower from Tower Hill Station, as a daily public art exhibit.

Today is the day Americans go to the polls to vote for their choice for President of the United States for the next 4 years. This year's election has forced Americans to choose sides in a way unprecedented in our nation's history. No one seems to really love the candidates, and it has been a virtual war of mudslinging, accusations, and investigations, leaving us in an uneasy state of distrust and fear. It might be a while before the United States returns to what we would consider "normal". As the polls close, the tallying begins, and America waits to see whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be our 45th President.
No matter who wins this election, my prayer is that Americans will remember that that is what we are, and stand together to overcome the division and strife that has consumed us over recent months and years.
May God bless America.
An abandoned barn on US-127 in St. John's, MI is still adorned with a Donald Trump banner several weeks after Joe Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 US presidential election.
The barn has an odd concrete foundation - this stretch of US-127 features many structures like this. In the late 1990s, early 2000s, the Michigan legislature was considering making this section of 127 a limited-access highway. To do so, the Michigan Department of Transportation would have to acquire a swath of property on each side of the existing right of away for access roads. Michigan eminent domain laws require that property owners be compensated. So many property owners raised existing buildings onto concrete footings like this in an effort to artificially inflate their value – thus earning them a bigger payday from the state.
This horse auction barn has been empty for longer than I can remember – and has always featured pro-Trump and Republican campaign signs, calling the authenticity of the “Democrats for Trump” message into question.
This is the second and last week of training I and several other people have been involved in. We will be working for the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's Office. We are part of a Mobile Voting Unit that will be deployed in ten different areas all over L.A., County. There are five teams, so that means fifty locations will have voting in-person facilities. We have spent this time learning the equipment. We learned to use the voting machines, the check-in machines; how to set everything up, from the canopies to the machines to the signs and even the gloves, hand sanitizer and masks to be available to the voters.
This is not the group I am with. They just had a nice looking setup with a nice background. Our group did well (and, like this group, we set up and took down in a pretty fast time), but our background wasn't as attractive. Those photos will show up later.

IT CAN NOW BE REVEALED that the father of Bristol Palin's love-child, Tripp, is in fact God's own true Holy Monkey, Bubbles - Michael Jackson's chimpanzee friend - and that poor young Levi is just a ringer.
Bubbles was sent down from Heaven to father an homunculus Saviour Child with the Righteous Hockey Mom Sarah herself, who would then thwart Satan's evil plans on Earth in these "End Times".
But unfortunately for the Palins and their fundamentalist beliefs, cross-species human/animal copulation/marriage was made illegal in Alaska in 1978, after it was discovered that the true mother of future US President [and Anti-Christ] Damien Thorne was not the wife of the US Ambassador to England, but an italian jackal! And that the father was old Beelzebub himself!!!
So even when preparing for "good" bestiality, Sarah (the "whack job") and Todd wouldn't be able to reverse these crazy "human only" marriage laws until after she became US President, and they'd get to run The World together (the way they did Alaska) and use nuclear weapons to rid it of of all the Evil Demons of Satan camping out in every dark corner, everywhere.
So... a few years ago, after being abandoned at a deserted Neverland, a sad, sick and confused Bubbles was bought by Madonna in a child/monkey adoption auction on eBay for her kid collection, and taken to her huge stone castle in the remote & bleak Highlands of Scotland (geography note - opposite direction from Russia, Sarah!).
But her cockney gangster [ex] husband Guy Ritchie is a weird sicko, and friend of Dick Cheney, who behind Madonna's back used to beat poor Bubbles mercilessly and make him perform degrading and humiliating sex-acts.
Instead of the ripe, fresh bananas and loving caresses he was used to from Michael Jackson, Guy and Dick water-boarded him, and fed him only cold scraps of haggis with bits of putrid scottish pie-lard for garnish.
After 2 years of agonising Guantanamo Bay-style incarceration, and confessing that he was a leading member of Al Qaeda, a sad and damaged Bubbles miraculously escaped from Madonna's Scottish castle hiding inside some bagpipes, and fled north across the frozen Arctic wastes 'til he finally arrived at Sarah & Todd Palin's hunting igloo.
Sarah asked him if he was a member of an endangered species, like Polar Bears and Arctic Foxes,,, but Bubbles was far too clever to say "yes", as he guessed from looking at them that Sarah and Todd might make him run until exhausted and then shoot him from a helicopter for a laugh.
Then they'd probably fashion his lifeless monkey carcass into a footstool to go with Sarah's magnificent bear-sofa.
But even Sarah didn't know that Bubbles was a heavenly angel (albeit in monkey form) sent by God himself to father The Saviour of The World in holy sexual union with her (no time for any of this Catholic "virgin birth" shit in Alaska!).
And Todd didn't know either,,, or it might have been .375 calibre time for the lustful varmint!
Over time Sarah got to know and treasure Bubbles, as they shared roughly the same IQ, knowledge of World Affairs, Political History, Geography and Economics.
Though the Palin's Extreme Pentecostal Creationist belief system was a little too backward and primitive a concept for a [admittedly very clever] chimpanzee even, and Bubbles described believing in it as being "devoid of even the slightest glimmer of intellectual rigour or sanity".
Bubbles felt an unnatural but understandable sexual attraction to the gorgeous third-place runner-up in the Miss Alaska Oil-Spill beauty pageant of 1984 though, and after many months of close communion, Sarah Palin herself came to feel of Bubbles as she would a fondly remembered childhood classmate, from the Wasilla retard's school & 7 colleges she attended on the way to her "journalism" degree, and so she gave him a $95,000 a year + expenses job running the Alaskan Department of Agriculture ("He must know all about animals!.. You betcha!").
But she couldn't feel sexually aroused by Bubbles, yet, as he didn't smell of fish like her beloved childhood sweetheart Todd - and the odor of something wet & scaley was what had always got her womanly juices flowing from that first accidental time with that Northern Pike (huh?) as a barely menstruating teen cheerleader just learning the evil ways of the world, and how it was that cities and entire countries outside Wasilla were under the control of monstrous satanic demons, that had to be flushed-out by the Soldiers of Jesus, vanquished, and turned into attractive pieces of office furniture.
Well eventually, inevitably, true love blossomed between human and animal the way it so often does in those long, dark, lonely Alaskan winter nights - just the way it says it did in The Bible, after Cain slew Abel and was ejected from The Garden of Eden,,, but it wasn't between Alaska's righteous, devout, beautiful and lipstick-clad Pit-Bull Hockey-Mom Governor and the famous celeb/chimp,,,but between him and her treacherous young daughter!
It was as if Bubbles had visited the sin-ridden cesspit that is New York City, and caught the terrible jewish "Woody Allen's Disease" and...[ to be continued...]
