The forsythia is predictably, the first to flower and shed petals, then come the daffodils and tulips, next to steal the limelight (actually, sunlight) are our large, long stem, dark red peonies; now, add a light breeze, an adjure sky, mild sun, and the observer would be, empirically warranted, in his declaration of the advent of summer, in Kingston, New York…. At least, up to now.
Notably, the forsythia, daffodils and tulips, even the dramatic long-stem peonies, have unerringly and faithfully, fully discharged their perennial, fiduciary responsibilities. But this year, Summer has provided a number of surprise features, giving evidence to singular and unusual foreboding.
Most visually, dramatic and candidly, frightening, was the dystopic occurrence of an early, summer, sky bizarrely, orange-colored, like a Disney animation, and accommodating an acrid, smoky smell like a distant fire. The public was apprised that the sickening, orange-colored pollution was caused by several unprecedentedly, immense forest fires, up North, in Canada, also burning in our Nation’s northwest, diagnostically, attributable to Global Warming. There was an accompanying, unnatural odor and, widespread particulate distribution, airborne and on the ground. The bizarre, orange color, as advised, was, caused by the occurrence of an enormous, Canadian conflagration; but, somewhere in the most atavistic and primitive portion of our brain, symbolically, the vision of another, unrelated, but existential, danger was intuited.
The bizarre and dystopic, coloration of the sky and consequent pollution, summoned up alarming thoughts of the persona of the orange-gray, outrageous hairdo of Donald J. Trump, America’s twice-impeached, past President, whose, dystopic, single term of office, and continuing errant, behavior has markedly despoiled and polluted our Nation’s democratic dedication and traditional promise.
This orange (pollution color) haired, twice impeached, neurotically, egoistic, Chief of State, has personally, and as unmistakably, demonstrated on the media, proven his incompetence, lack of moral compass, serial mendacity and by his demonstrated disloyalty to the American Nation, demonstrated his lack of respect for the unique, democratic way of life as insured by our Constitution.
This hazmat-colored, former President of the United States has by his own egotistical admission and by public demonstration, shamelessly committed criminal, acts ranging from treason against the United States and inciting a violent insurrection against the Nation to his fraudulent conspiracies to, sub-rosa, bribe prostitutes with which he has conducted brisk commerce. Historically unprecedented indictments for multiple crimes have been issued by prosecutors, Federal and State, against this errant former President of the United States; for the felonies of sedition and treasonous behavior, inciting and promoting an insurrection against the American government, multiple counts of election interference, tax and financial fraud, perjury, and most remarkably, espionage.
The initial prosecution to soon commence is that of espionage, amounting to, among other things, the intentional purloining and withholding of top secret (CIA and Defense Department) government documents and reports, and, refusal to comply with official demands for their return. The secret documents, illegally packed in boxes and removed to Trump’s Florida public resort to be carelessly and dangerously, stashed in hotel locations such as the bathroom and other publically accessible areas, in the popularly attended hotel. This prosecution, in which Trump has thus been arraigned, concerns crimes that endanger U.S. security and the lives of the secret agents procured for the dangerous obtaining of such vitally, secret information. Such highly sensitive, previously, well- guarded, secrets, it is feared, may have been shared with others hostile to our Nation, such as Russia, which has been proven helpful in getting Trump elected, and with whose autocratic leader, Putin, Trump has had an ongoing and publicized “bromance.” Said acts of Presidential espionage is presently, the subject of a 31 Count, 43 page, criminal, indictment. His other Federal and State indictments will, of necessity, await their respective turns.
The ominous, orange sky in short order, has abated, doubtlessly, in contrast to our National shame.
