The lies of the George "W" Bush Administration propelled the USA and the "Coalition of the Willing" into Operation Iraqi Freedom. The "grotesque" paintings in this section emerged out of my anger and resentment against that whole murderous war. Then a few years later, Trump came along with his own bluster, lying, and deceit. I posted the images of these old Bush-era paintings on Facebook, with captions mocking the hideous absurdities of the Trump cult. Finally Facebook threw me off their platform, without explanation.  

A NATION IN MELTDOWN. 60" x 60" Oil on Canvas


THE WILDERNESS YEARS. (The Missus just seems to go along. I don't have the impression she knows what's going on. Or the prenup is too lean.)

PALESTINIAN WOMAN GIVING BIRTH AT AN ISRAELI CHECKPOINT.  Everyone in this region seems to emerge from the womb ready to fight.


CIVIL DISORDER


DOWN BY LAW. Seems the plot is this: The government commits outrages that bring citizens into the streets. Then it beats them to death.

THE DEVIL TAKES COMMAND. Finally "I am your retribution" gets some retribution of his own.

SHOOT TRUMPISM DIRECTLY INTO YOUR VEINS!  No needle sterilization required. Eliminate the need to watch Fox "news". Use the Trump-endorsed AK-47 syringe. All proceeds go to Trump for bail money.

FEEDING THE MAGAS. The evangelical preacher knows God ain't anywhere nearby.

THE AMERICAN TALIBAN.. The Black faces say it all....

Somehow Mr. Trump managed to get himself back into the White House, where he wraps himself comfortably around a pillar on the South Portico, just outside the Oval Office

FATHER AND SON; THE TWO DONALDS. (Or is it Fred and Donald?)

THE BIRTH OF DONALD TRUMP. Mary Ann Trump, Donald's mother, invited me to be in the birthing room with my Speed Graphic camera. I snapped this photo just as Donald shot out like a wet watermelon seed and smacked hard, headfirst, on the floor. That explains a lot.

HE SLIPS INTO OLD AGE....
