[uglylilclown]

Hiiii I've been having awful brainrot about John Doe Noel lately and I wanted to ask. How is he a John Doe? If that makes sense. Like nobody knew Penny because she was new and no family came yada yada... How would that work for him? I'm curious!

It’s been so long since I’ve drawn them :’33 💔💔

And thank u!! I think I’ve done a similar post but I will happily repost it :DD

In the John Doe verse Noel’s mom was newly divorced and moved into Uranium with Noel and had him sign up for the choir (like the day before the fair) :33

So he went to that school for like a day but all of the transfer info from his previous school had yet to be processed so teeeechnically by the time the roller coaster accident happened he wasn’t considered a student and therefore could not be identified :33

I am keeping the fact that his mom had to like immediately go out of town for a few days/weeks and thus couldn’t come forward about how he was missing 💔💔

In this AU Penny was a student for a while but she was a little too strange for the student body so people avoided her like the plague,, and even in the choir no one really wanted to talk to her and she was stuck being backing vocals for Ocean 😔😔

Sorry if the explanation’s a little all over the place ive been having a bit of brain fog for the last few days 💀💀

But yeah :33

Edit: I FORGOT TO REMIND YALL JUST IN CASE,, the physical appearances I draw r based on some actors who have played the characters but r not necessarily intended to be them,, hence why Noel is Mexican 😋😋

"I was waiting to see you again"

Me: I'm not that slow at drawing or publishing things. Me too: *uploads in March a drawing that should have been ready since October of last year.

Yes, it's a little old, it no longer fascinates me like it did in it's sketch, but it's worth publishing. It's a redraw of an also pretty old drawing.

There's not much to say, they are 2 of my Ocs and I don't think you'll hear from them again for a loooong time jjssjjs, but a little context for you to enjoy: they are Noel (the redhaired, she's European, she likes herbs and the potions) and Nathalie (the brunette, Mexican, likes spells and incantations). There isn't much lore with them, they are both old witches, they like each other, they flirt a lot, neither of them has made a formal move because since they are always busy they don't want to distract each other but they are alway diying to do something.

How can poetry relay the Mexican-American experience? In my opinion, literary media such as short stories or written poetry can be one of the best forms to encapsulate the realities of the diaspora.

But why do I think that? Well first, let's identify some common themes that characterizes Mexican-American poetry.

Cultural Expression and Identity: Mexican-American poets use poetry to express the richness of their cultural identity (Noel 160). Poets can draw on traditions, customs, folklore, and historical events to create a tapestry that reflects heritage (Noel 160). Through vivid imagery and symbolism, poets such as Sandra Cisneros convey the essence of Mexican/Mexican-American culture and its impact on sense of self.

Exploration of Gender: Mexican-American poets like Cisneros explore gender dynamics within the community. Poetry addresses traditional expectations, stereotypes, and the evolving roles of men and women (Mayock 223). Poetry becomes a medium for challenging cultural norms, creating a space for reflection on the complexities of gender identity within the context of both Mexican and American cultures (Mayock 224).

Migration and Displacement: The theme of migration is also central to many Mexican-American poems/poets. Poets like Cisneros can really capture emotions in the journey of leaving one's home, challenges of adapting to a new culture, and nostalgia for the motherland (Pearce 206). Through poetry, Mexican-American poets can share their narratives, which highlight the resilience needed in order to navigate the complexities of migration (Pearce 208).

i love love love your mmppp rewrite project! i'm not sure if you've already answered this but did you have particular ethnicities / countries in mind for the girls?

Thank you! I don't think I've officially talked about the "official" ethnicities/countries before. The real world counterparts for the Mermaid Princesses are as follows:

Lucia - Japanese, American

Hanon - Namibian, Brazilian, Venezuelan

Rina - Irish, Greek, Norwegian

Karen & Noel - Russian, Alaskan Athabaskan

Coco - Colombian, Cambodian, Mexican

Sara - Indian, Egyptian

Seira - Indonesian, Australian

In general, I don't want any of the mermaids to be 100% a certain ethnicity or 100% from a specific culture or country, but also I am drawing on real world things sooo. Idk it makes sense to me that in the world the mermaid kingdoms would be influenced to a degree by the land masses they are by, especially the areas closer to coasts. But having a kingdom just be Underwater Russia or whatever seems kinda dull.

I will also mention that I am white, so I try to err on the side of caution and am a little worried of accidentally writing or drawing something accidentally insensitive. That being said, even as a kid it kinda bothered me that these characters from all over the planet dressed the same and had the same skin tone. A few years back, I played Allegrezza Harmony and that kinda kick-started the whole rewrite project. In the game, Hanon is black, and I was just like CORRECT. Idk it vibed with me. Freckles on Rina also, but I think my redesigns for Rina have gotten less freckled over time? Freckles are cute.

sorry for the ramble lol.

I love the design of cam’s shirt, I bet noel wouldn’t wear it unless he is crazy 😜 do you ever notice the symbol on the shirt? 😆 Let me give you some tips, poppy flower，Mexican national flower cactus，sea, LA city, sun, lion, snow mountain. LOL, a lovely story in my mind, another tip, please look up cam’s Photo Album which with poppy flowers, he also wear a floral shirt. This is a guessing game😆Hope cam wouldn’t see my post😆

——🌟

Hi 🌟, you feel that the artist took cues from Cameron who wanted to honor Mickey and Ian's love story? Is that the reason you mention Mexico's national flower (it's the dahlia, not the cactus flower), but I get where you were going.

And I think I know the pictures you're mentioning of Cam with poppy flowers. But, it's not on his page currently. It was for a fashion spread in Grumpy magazine from 2020 I think. You're referring to this, right?

To me, the symbolism felt like an ode to California and specifically LA. I think that's why he's donating a percentage of sales to LA-based charities. I hadn't considered any deeper or hidden meaning behind the art, especially because he didn't draw it. I assumed he gave Nila artistic license to do what she wanted. We'll see with the next tee shirt release if the theme changes or if it maintains that same general vibe.

Hero of Our Nation

I first encountered Roger Ramjet on a Chicago public access station in 1983. It was part of an early morning show apparently aimed at stoner insomniacs. The show came on at five and also included episodes of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp, that awful Beatles cartoon, and a weather report clarified by some appropriate pop song (“Here Comes the Sun” or “Here Comes the Rain Again”). I was usually up and around that early for some godforsaken reason, and originally started watching on account of Lancelot Link. Always did love that Lancelot Link. But Roger Ramjet was, well, let’s just say it was a revelation.

Roger Ramjet, “ that All-American good guy and devil may care flying fool” (as he compulsively introduces himself) was a none too bright and none too coordinated drug-dependent space age superhero in an ongoing battle against the assorted forces of evil (or more specifically, N.A.S.T.Y.) to preserve the American Way of Life. He was square-jawed, straight-laced, straight-faced, and True Blue if little else, so hyper-patriotic that nearly every time his name is spoken aloud an American flag, a bald eagle, or a rotating ring of stars appears on the screen. After catching one or two episodes, I forgot all about Lancelot Link.

The show was easy to overlook, especially when squeezed between the Beatles and some secret agent chimps with a psychedelic band. The episodes were only five minutes long (maybe seven with the abrasive theme song filling out the opening and closing credits), and were so crudely drawn and animated it might at a glance seem like something a couple of junior high school kids threw together in their basement one weekend. The shows were so primitive they hardly bothered with niceties like “backgrounds” satisfied instead to settle for rudimentary suggestions of a setting. But the writing was so sharp and the voice talent so good what it really felt like, if you paid attention, was a spoof of a ‘40s radio serial like Sky King or Gangbusters, complete with a soap opera organ and illustrated by a handful of jerky drawings scratched out by someone’s kid. People who thought Jay Ward’s Bullwinkle and Dudley Do-Right were crude when compared with the output from Disney or Warner Brothers had no idea what “crude” meant. 

Looking at it today what it reminds me of more than anything are the paper cutout animations of the earliest episodes of South Park, before they upgraded to Flash. Along with the lo-fi stylistics, the humor was clearly aimed at an adult audience while pretending otherwise.  You may not find any child molestation jokes or crass religious cracks in Roger Ramjet, but for 1965 the lightning-fast humor was pretty hepcat and sophisticated, with undisguised satirical references to the Cold War, Central American turmoil, and the  Vietnam War (“Hey kids, this is Roger Ramjet,” demanding that you stay tuned to this station to see my next adventure,” Roger announces in his commanding superhero baritone. “Or I’ll see to it that all you little rascals are drafted.”) . Mixed in with the topical jokes we also get some highly unlikely name drops, from Noel Coward and Henry Cabot Lodge to James Joyce and bawdy nightclub performer Rusty Warren, as well as film parodies and  literary nods to the likes of Catch-22 and Catcher in the Rye.  It’s also a little less than what you might call racially sensitive by modern standards (consider Mexican revolutionaries The Enchilada Brothers, Beef and Chicken).

While a lot of the more timely jokes might be lost in the murk of the over 50 years since it first aired, there’s plenty of rapid-fire absurdity that’s timeless, from the misspelled title cards punctuating the narration to the self-consciously dumb coked-up adventures.

Bullwinkle aired from ‘61 to ‘64. Roger Ramjet came along a year later and Jay Ward’s influence is undeniable. The difference was Roger Ramjet crammed the equivalent number of bad jokes, references, and plot twists of a typical 8-part Bullwinkle serial into each five-minute episode, both mirroring the rapid-fire screwball dialogue of the ‘30s and the frenetic quick-cut comedy to come along a year or two later in shows like The Monkees and Laugh-In.

The episodes were produced with essentially no budget and were cranked out very quickly by a small team of writers, voiceover artists and animators with solid day jobs in radio and TV. They were all seasoned pros, some dating back to the days of classic radio, who worked on the show after hours as a way of letting off a little steam and tossing around a few cynical, subversive  cultural jabs their day jobs wouldn’t allow. The show was created originally by animator Fred Crippen  (who went on to work on some pretty dreadful crap like the Extreme Ghostbusters  and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Ken Snyder, an ad exec who moved over into producing cartoons. They brought in a remarkable team of voice talent and comedy writers, including Gene Moss (the voice of Smokey the Bear) Jim Thurmam (who did a lot of kids shows including Sesame Street), Dick Beals (the original voice of Gumby), and the great Gary Owens, a drive-time deejay in LA who would get national recognition soon enough as the on-screen announcer for Laugh-In. Although they would all get specific credits in the end (Crippen as director, Moss as a writer) it was a communal effort, in which everyone contributed to the writing, and everyone, even the executive producer, did a few of the voices. Apart from the regular crew, careful listeners might also catch a few uncredited guest appearances by some surprisingly big names (I’m told Sinatra and Dean Martin appear in an episode, but I’m still looking for that one). Owens was the star, though, as his ability to read the most ridiculous lines in a dramatic deadpan made him the perfect Roger Ramjet. Together they made 156 episodes (about 150 still exist), which were sold directly into syndication in ‘65 as half hour shows, each containing three unconnected adventures. I can’t say as I’m exactly sure who they thought their target audience was at the time, except maybe each other.

Much like William Conrad in Bullwinkle, each show opened with our narrator, Steve Allen alum Dave Ketchum, setting the mood and the scene (“In today’s depressing episode,” he’d begin with dramatic enthusiasm, or maybe it was an “existentialist episode,” “phlegmatic episode,” “rickety episode,”  “hairy episode,” or “ethnic episode”). Then we’re out of the gate at a breakneck pace, with a flurry of gags coming from every direction. “Ramjet rode into Boot Hill,” we’re told,  “where the men were men and the women were men, which can get pretty old after awhile.”

While none of the shows are connected, there are a few recurring characters and locations worth remembering: Roger hails from Lompoc, an actual California town (“where nothing ever happens, and seldom does”) and  takes his orders from General G.I. Brassbottom, a no nonsense military man who “hadn’t had an original idea since he was a civilian.” He’s also assisted by Yank, Doodle, Dan, and Dee, the unusually chubby  kids who make up the American Eagle squadron. Like Roger, all the members of the squadron wear their white jumpsuits and flight helmets at all times (Roger even wears his helmet on dates), and in true superhero sidekick fashion, their primary job is to get Roger out of scrapes and make sure his drugs are handy. 

That’s one little detail more than a few casual viewers have taken umbrage with. Roger, see, is a pretty hapless character most of the time, but he repeatedly saves the world thanks to a little help from his Proton Energy Pills (PEP), which take five seconds to kick in, then give him the strength of 20 A-Bombs for 20 seconds. Modern viewers seem a little uncomfortable with the idea of a superhero gulping amphetamines in order to function, but all I can say is, well, it was a different time, and hey, it worked for Roger and Elvis both.

The proton energy pills come in handy when dealing with his arch-nemesis Noodles Romanoff, the short, trench coat and fedora wearing head of N.A.S.T.Y. (the National Association of Spies, Traitors, and Yahoos). Romanoff may not have a Natasha, but he does have a gang of cronies and thugs who all mumble in unison (save for one, who can’t seem to get the rhythm). 

Along with Romanoff and his gang, Roger also has to contend with some lanky alien robots, the Solenoids (voiced by executive priducer Ken Snyder), and their repeated efforts to invade the planet in assorted ridiculous ways (in one episode, they begin kidnapping all the Miss America contestants, who “were disappearing faster than co-eds at a Dartmouth weekend.”)

When not saving the world, Roger found himself competing with the smarmy hotshot test pilot Lance Crossfire (who sounds an awful lot like burt Lancaster) for the affections of Lotta Love, the fickle Southern belle with a taste for the finer things in life.

Then there are the adventures themselves. Some seem standard superhero fare, but only to a point. Earth is besieged by flying saucer attacks (sort of). Roger’s hometown is terrorized by a werewolf (sort of). Roger plays tennis with a kangaroo, or becomes the first man to surf in space,  or, in a personal favorite, attempts to stop the flow of bootleg comic books into America’s drug stores.

Actually, there’s an interesting moment in that one that revealed just how subtle you could be even with animation this unsophisticated. Okay, so Noodles Romanoff, see, is replacing real comics in drug store racks with bootlegs in which popular superheroes are humiliated, all in an effort to destroy the morale of America’s children. After Brassbottom shows Roger a few examples (the issues include “Superman Gets Beat Up by a Chicken!” and “Ratman Stubs His Toe!”) he explains that if this sort of thing continues, “America’s kids won’t have anyone to look up to except YOU, Ramjet.” Then, for just an instant in that crude and jerky style, Roger cuts his eyes toward the camera, revealing in that moment everything we needed to know, namely that it’s what he’s always wanted.

Thirty years on and that still sticks with me.

In the end, though, the characters and storylines are secondary at best In Roger Ramjet. At heart it’s  a matter of trying to keep up with all the lightning-quick  jokes and wordplay, the non-sequiturs and references. In the five minute span of one cowboy-themed episode I counted nods to at least seven classic Western films, from High Noon to She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and I suspect I missed a few. It really is such a dizzying blur of dialogue and bad puns and cultural references, sometimes, christ, even just references to old jokes that take the form of bad puns (“Waiter, there’s a spy in my soup” or “how many angels can swim in the head of a beer?”), that absurd as it all is, repeated viewings are a necessity to catch everything. It’s a bit like having the complete contents of an issue of MAD magazine jammed onto a single page. It can make your head hurt after a while, but it’s worth it. Whether the density and the pace make it better or worse for stoner viewing is something, I guess, each stoner will need to answer for him or herself. Lots of bright colors, though.

In 1965 there was nothing new about making cartoons with adult sensibilities in mind. Betty Boop and Bugs Bunny were made to be shown as short subjects to largely adult audiences. Jay Ward’s cartoons a few decades down the line were near-revolutionary for smuggling hip, subversive political humor into what had become an exclusively child-friendly format. What made Roger Ramjet so radical was it’s blend of ‘30s radio style with mid-’60s cynicism, as well as its foreshadowing of our shrinking attention spans, a hyper-condensed proton pill of comedy and commentary disguised as just another dumb, low-rent superhero cartoon. Although it’s barely remembered today, its influence is still evident in most any subversive animated show you can name, even if they’ve slowed things down a bit.

Alex Turner’s interview for La Repubblica - May 6th, 2018

I translated the whole thing myself, so please ask me before you repost it anywhere! thanks.

LOS ANGELES - He’s wearing a shirt with a huge collar going above his coat, his eyes are wide open. Alex turner is 32 years old but says he’s 70: “That’s how old Kubrick was when he died, although people say about me that I’m the proof rock n’ roll will never die”, he says sitting at a table at Minibar Hollywood, a 60′s style cocktail lounge full off red armchairs, crystal glasses and wooden windows covered in silver leaf. Turner doesn’t have a good relationship with the press and with social media “and perhaps with human beings in general, seen as my Hollywood is limited to one room”, he says. “It’s just me and the music. Always has been.”

Things change, though. According to a survey by Radio X, 9 songs out of the 100 best english songs ever are Arctic Monkeys songs; they’ve won 7 brit awards and Noel Gallagher is a big supporter or theirs: “Arctic Monkeys’ success reminds me of Oasis” Gallagher said. “These kids are very much like us. They’re one of a kind. I love the fact that they don’t wear button-ups, ties and suits”. More than four years after the release of AM (more than five million copies sold) and after breaking all records with Arctic Monkeys’ debut album, Turner - singer, guitarist and half of the Last Shadow Puppets - sat at a Steinway&Sons and wrote Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, Arctic Monkeys’ sixth album. Their three italian dates are all sold out. “I was born and raised in Sheffield, England. This record is filled with America”, he tells us. In the UK (and not just there) Alex is the last, young icon of the rock industry, “I feel more like a noir film director... I imagine the Hollywood hills being a small bedroom, where there’s me on the piano, a mexican beer in one hand and half a pack of cigarettes on the table”.

Have you set the guitar aside?

I never took piano lessons, if I’d pressed the keys the best I could do was a jazz improvisation. I used to try and imitate my father, who’s an incredible pianist and sax player. Until a friend of mine gave me a Steinway Vertegrand as a gift for my 30th birthday. It suddenly became the centre of this record and I almost thought this was going to be a guitar-less and Arctic Monkeys-less work.

Why going solo?

When people tell me “Oh you live in Hollywood...”, I reply: “Hollywood? Do you mean my bedroom?” I’ve got a bed, a guitar, a piano and a poster of “Roma” by italian director Federico Fellini. Sometimes I think that’s all I need to make music, along with my old analog Tascam 8-track tape recorder. Other than that, I don’t really know America very well and no “on the road” kind of trip could beat the one I went on with my grandmother as a kid.

The opening line to this record is “I just wanted to be one of the Strokes”

I actually wanted to be like Mina [Italian melodic pop singer from the 60′s and 70′s]

Like Mina?!

(He stands up and starts singing) “Un bacio è troppo poco per sapere se ti amo. Un bacio è troppo poco per capire veramente se mi piaci, se mi piaci” What a voice. And such beautiful eyes. Mina! A friend of mine introduced me to “Una casa in cima al mondo” on a 7 inch vinyl record, “L’Eclisse” by Antonioni, i caroselli and Adriano Celentano. I know his nickname was “The Molleggiato” (the bouncy guy), they say his insipirations were Elvis Presley and Jerry Lewis. His song “Il tuo bacio è come un rock” is a masterpiece.

Someone wrote about you: “Turner has a very clear idea of what his style is”.

I went through garage punk, chip-shop rock n roll, hip-hop, 90′s R&B... My mentor was Josh Homme from Queens of the stone age. My inspirations are The Smiths, The Carpenters, Nina Simone, Sege Gainsbourg. I am the product of many different cultures. I am also the guy you’ll find holding a microphone at a karaoke with Lana Del Rey singing Tiny Dancer by Elton John.

Have you ever looked yourself up on YouTube?

I’m not even on Facebook. To tell you the truth, my main instinct is to smash my cellphone. Maybe I’ll go back to a home phone, to a payphone, or I’ll be like the paranoid Gene Hackman in The Conversation, using phone booths, triple lock, telephone tapping tape and wearing a plastic overcoat when walking in a crowded place. My studio is full of cables and tapes. It’s Watergate material.

Did you design the album cover for “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino”?

Yes, it looks a lot like one of those lobby scale models, like the labyrinth from Shining. I love LA’s architecture, from Richard Neutra to Paul R. Williams. And you should visit Columbus, Indiana, it has the most beautiful churches. For the album cover I drew insipiration from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I’m obsessed with the idea that the moon landing of the Apollo 11 was all a big hoax and Kubrick filmed and directed it in a studio. Every morning, when I wake up, I feel like I see a monolith in front of my bed.

In the song “Golden Trunks” you compare the President to an 80′s wrestler.

Our president is in love with the sound of his own voice and his own “songs”. I never thought I’d end up talking about politics in a tune off of our next album and yet Trump is a part of all our lives, he’s underwater, he’s even in my bedroom along with the Fellini and Toby Dammit posters. He won, he definitely won. But sooner or later America will move on from this. As Mina sings, “L’importante è finire” (”The important thing is ending it”).

what ethnicity would you say your version of human john is? i thought he looked native american, tho seeing your mexican noel post and they look similar so idk if i was wrong?

i don’t actually know, i tend to use both native american models and south asian models as reference when drawing him so maybe both??? not really sure

Pelosi Cancels State-of-the-Union Speech

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Jan. 23, 2019.--Doing everything possible to force 72-year-old Donald Trump to reopen the government, 78-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) officially cancelled the Jan. 29 State-of-the-Union Speech.  Pelosi’s decision signals that she intends to play hardball with president, blaming him for the Dec. 22, 2018 government shutdown, now in its 33rd day.  Battling over $5.7 billion in border barrier funding, Pelosi has turned partisan politics into a three-ring circus, using 800,000 government workers as cannon fodder.  Negotiating with Trump on border security funding would have ended the government shutdown weeks ago but it now looks like Pelosi has her eyes set on the 2020 presidential election. Giving Trump any concession on border security would antagonize the Democrat Party’s progressive base, now firmly in control of the Party.  Canceling the State-of-the Union denies Trump a national platform.

            Welcoming Trump to the House of Representatives would give Trump a golden opportunity to make Pelosi and the Democrats look bad, especially given the dire conditions on the U.S.-Mexican border.  Pelosi wants everything on her terms, setting the precondition for discussions about border security to reopening the government. Offering nothing to Trump on his signature campaign issue, denies Trump a political win in advance of the 2020 elections.  Giving in on border security would make Pelosi and Democrats look weak.  “When I extended an invitation to you Jan. 3rd for you to deliver the State of the Union Address, it was on the mutually agreed up date, January 29th. At that time, there was no thought that the government would still be shut down,” Pelosi said in a letter to Trump. Reneging on a prior invitation shows the political rancor that has swept Pelosi and Democrats.

            Pelosi said she doesn’t want Trump holding government workers hostage over his border wall.  But instead of sending a responsible delegation to negotiate with Trump, Pelosi cancels the nation’s historic State-of-the-Union Speech, something without precedent in U.S. history.  Pelosi didn’t tell Trump when she invited him Jan. 3 to speak in the House chamber to a joint session of Congress, that it was contingent on him signing the Joint Continuing Budget Resolution to reopen the government.  When Pelosi told Trump she wanted to postpone the State-of-the-Union Jan. 16, she cited security concerns with Homeland Security and the Secret Service.  When both departments reassured the White House that there was no problem with security at the Jan. 29 speech, Pelosi switched gears again, canceling Trump’s speech today.  Whatever the excuses, Pelosi has taken partisan politics to a new level.

            No matter how uncivilized the political parties, never before has a House Speaker denied the commander-in-chief an invitation to address a joint session of Congress.  Pelosi’s mood tries to heap maximum pressure on Trump to cave in on reopening the government without any good-faith negotiation.  Partisan Democrats, like House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Il.), agree 100% with Pelosi that Trump should open up the government first before anything happens on border security or the State-of-the-Union Speech. “Again, I look forward to welcoming you to the House on a mutually agreeable date for the address when government has been opened,” Pelosi stated in her letter today.  Seizing control of the State-of-the-Union Speech, Pelos has usurped the rights of all 435 members of the House, but, more importantly, the all citizens of the United States.  

            Drawing the peoples’ business into Pelosi’s spat with Trump undermines the House of Representatives, letting one person call the shots.  Pelosi may despise Trump but it’s the President’s right and Constitution’s requirement that Trump report on the State-of-the-Union.  “Now Nancy Pelosi, or Nancy as I call her, she doesn’t want to hear the truth and she doesn’t want the American people to hear what’s going on,” Trump said today at a White House Roosevelt Room meeting.  Trump wants to tell the American people about the need for border security and how well the economy is doing under his leadership.  “I think that’s a great blotch on the great country we all love, it’s a great, great horrible mark.  I don’t believe it’s ever happened before,” Trump said. Canceling the State-of-the-union Address because of a political spat crosses the line for the House Speaker requiring Supreme Court intervention.

             Deciding to renege on her Jan. 3 invitation to deliver his State-of-the-Union Speech on Jan. 29, Pelosi has overstepped her authority as House Speaker, requiring Supreme Court intervention.  No one told the speaker not to negotiate and end to the government shutdown with Trump. Setting the precondition for discussing border barrier security and now canceling the State-of-the-Union Speech, Pelosi has brought on a Constitutional crisis, requiring Supreme Court intervention. Whether she likes it or not, Pelosi’s one member of the House, not the supreme leader deciding what to do for all 435 members.  Trump has a compelling Constitution argument for 49-year-old Solicitor General Noel Francisco.  No House member—including the Speaker—can deny the peoples’ right to hear Trump report on the State-of-the-Union.  Pelosi stepped out of line and needs the Supreme Court to rule.
