This is the most spectacular video regarding Irish history in the past, perhaps, 60 years. It is truly glorious to see Sinn Fein properly seated at the table--and in power. I have witnessed this story's trajectory in full, in my lifetime, with all of its ups and downs, and I could not be more proud of it. Because We have won. May God bless Ireland. And may God bless the IRA.

 I would like to yet again remind Donald Trump that it is imperative that he become Our next Speaker of the House of Representatives. Indeed, I would like to put this into writing--once and for all--to again reiterate that Donald Trump will never again be a President of these United States of America. I have explained this from Day One and many times. Furthermore, I have spelled out exactly why that is fact; but in sum, and put simply, he does not truly understand the Leftists--though he battles well against them. Nevertheless, Leftists have succeeded in bringing him down, and well as his associates such as Steven K. Bannon. Alas, Mr. Trump will fail We, the People again. For to be clear, he has failed us--though he managed to achieve great things. And that shall be his true legacy. But there is still time, about 6 months, in fact, so I hold out hope for change of mind or ego--or oblivion. Otherwise, he will become exactly what he is at present, a weakening and diminishing influenc...

 Now is the time to press home the attack AND push forward INTO RUSSIA. Nukes be damned, call the bluff until China is forced to intervene and prevent Russia from using Nukes. Putin must be eliminated. He is anti-human, an evil monster—not unlike Hitler. Napoleon would see the key moment on the battlefield and attack. Also, Russian POWs should be allowed to immigrate to the West.

 The Work, Spectacularly Hard, With experience, survivable, or youth, which I no longer possess, as I attempt to put it to words, rather, into a story, the only obstacle is to fight and overcome the high of it, witnessing in real time, professionalism; in the present, in the only place it is to be found, America, and all in a day's work. In other words, it is unlike anything that you have ever seen, travel though you might, times by a factor about 50. That's right: words that I have long sought meaning or definition. What are those words, you ask? Well, read the book--and buy it. Oh, is twenty dollars going to set you back, for Heaven's Sake?--for the sake of an artist--any artist? Of course not; nay, pilgrim, you hesitate because you question your loyalty or shall we say, worthiness. (I'll expand on this...i.e. do I "want this book on my shelf or even to be seen in possession of it?" Is it cool enough for me or to be more precise, 'am I cool enough'? ...

 The purpose of this blog post is to analyze in depth Amazon's "Rings of Power", Season One, which has a budget somewhere over 1 billion dollars. This show is a perfect storm, the very definition of poor writing for me or to coin vernacular of the modern realm, an "epic fail". To become a professional at anything, one must chart several courses at once: 1) where are the true masters and learn from them anything possible; 2) develop one's own personal style that works; 3) make the work count for something important, if not simply a well-paid profession, and, 4) note where others have fallen short, and what it is that they did incorrectly, and perhaps even take failures of the past and make them right. This is a rare and very exciting opportunity for me and I intend to dive deep and discover precisely what has happened here. In Theatre, which is not film, there always comes a point when you either a) realize that the show basically sucks or perhaps then you tr...

 

Amazon’s “Rings of Power” suffers critically from poor writing. And herein lies the enigma: how or why can somethings as inconsequential as writing—good or bad, for that matter--so greatly impact a show with a budget of bil1lions or maybe just 1 billion. Because as I have written herein, and nearin', nearly every other aspect of the show enjoys success. I did give the show a chance, and I am just waiting for the finale on this Friday at which point I intend to finish this review, which is going to work very critically to try and determine, again, what specific aspect of the writing is it that has ruined this show. Because it must be something. This is, for me, a fascinating question, about which I have both written and published many books. I am not wishing that this show fail because I am a devotee of Tolkien; but frankly, I am liking quite a bit more following the various "Tolkien experts" and their analyses, both in general and of this show, in particular--more than th...

 

 This is where a real and True writer (as opposed to a journalist), such as Hunter Thompson, who invented this genre and I am not such a great fan; but I must give due respect because he did invent the thing--goes into the the very dark places of society or humanity and then writes about what he has found there. However, I am currently modifying that technique into a new genre. For the uninitiated, I offer you this scene: Recall when, in the Clint Eastwood movie Unforgiven, in the bar scene shoot-out the man with the gun turns to the lowly man in the corner, and is about to shoot him too; but what does that man say? He says, "I am just the writer..." He does not say, "I am a writer," rather, he says, "I am THE writer..." That character has been the voice of the entire movie--and so therefore--this lead character cannot simply shoot him; nay pilgrim, he must let me be to write his story of what he has seen.  This is New Journalism. The writer is spared--so ...
