Sadiq Khan vs. Donald Trump - The New York Times

This explodes the mythology about whether Islam is compatible within western communities. Why let a few hot headed extremists dictate what we say and do? Is it the politics of Daesch and Hesbullah against those of Trump? Or, is it the politics of policy and business as usual? Why let violence steal the future agenda? We should quietly deal with the terrorists while protecting our best people, who happen to include a multitude of races, religions and value systems.

MUGWUMP Trump ... Standing for everything and nothing in order to win

MUGWUMP TRUMP ... HOLIER THAN THOU

The rise of Trump helps us decide what our values are. His contradictions on almost every point of policy or attitude rationally allow people of completely opposite views to have overlap with the views of Trump. By having so many views on everything, Trump unites and divides everyone simultaneously. By being opposites, Trump can be absurd. His only goal is winning support and he is absolutely unscrupulous in method. The overlap expands his popularity base. It is however a con artist's trick because Trump occupies the whole of policy space, yes, no and maybe, all at the same time. Its what we in England call mugwump. Trump is Mugwump. In the US, there is a historical precedent for mugwumps ...

Dear Arthur, Come to Grand Bend this coming weekend, May 14th and 15th.  I am excited to be at the Lambton Heritage Museum with my Encaustic Water Lily Series as part of   The Stars Come Out: Art, Culinary & Musical Tour.        Late September : encaustic, 84" x 48"  10 am - 5 pm on Sat. May 13  11 am - 4 pm on Sun. May 14   Lambton Heritage Museum Just south of Grand Bend on Highway 21, 10035 Museum Road  For more information, profiles of all participating artists, and tour map click this link:  GRAND BEND STUDIO TOUR  If you are too far away to attend you might visit my website at josybritton.com  or my Facebook site at Josy Britton Facebook Page       Artist Statement: My water lilies celebrate a chapter of artistic transformation. After more then 30 years of painting almost exclusively in watercolour, the brush has become an extension of my hand and I can picture the end result before beginning. Diving into encaustics challenged me to stay present and ask new questions.  This journey began one morning while paddling my canoe, the Little Tripper. Noticing the sunlight's dance of light and shadow on lily pads, I was struck by their waxy appearance, which inspired the change of medium. Paddling the Tripper is my first ever encaustic. I later happened upon the lily ponds of the Van Dusen Botanical Gardens in Vancouver, conceiving Homage to Monet, Resplendent and Water Lily Ballet in the close up point of view that I love. The game changer was a visit to MOMA - while standing awe-struck before Monet's mural sized triptych, Water Lilies, I felt compelled to work bigger.  In Liz' Lilies, Late September, A Million Answers and Turning Over an Old Leaf I played with texture and depth on a larger scale. Stepping back reveals a landscape of great depth, rich with details inviting close up examination. Close up one realizes that much of the paint is fragmented jewels of colour, 'blobs of wax'.  As I continued to explore the paintings began to become more abstract.  The series is a spiritual journey of how my soul sees the world.
