Exactly. People should be in positions of power because they have merit, not because they are pedophiles or their enablers.

One more for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #glow

This is the first completed piece in a new series that I'm painting. I'll be releasing new work from this series around the 2025 winter solstice.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Lighting the Dark" 20"x20" oil on linen (2025). This moody, abstract-leaning seascape painting has a textured, orange-toned, atmospheric sky with textured colors of light on the horizon. Light from the sky reflects in the water below as it meets a dark, rocky, tree-lined coast.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Not exactly progress, is it?

At least, not in the right direction.

Canadians overwhelmingly disapprove of the “leadership” of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

It’s pretty clear. Canadians see them in pretty much the same light as each other.

Vlad the Failure only has the slightest edge over Donny Chump.

And Xi only gets the bronze!
