Reactive vs Proactive Artists - Maniscalco Gallery

Job and Abel - Maniscalco Gallery
Another reason I speak out against a second Trump presidency is because it will mark the end of the Parole program, allowing Americans to sponsor citizens of struggling countries, like Haiti and bring them here, legally.

The Political Divide - Maniscalco Gallery
Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd. ~Bertrand Russell (Book: Unpopular Essays : https://amzn.to/3PvxdDo) It’s strange to be a member of a group (democrats) that is so feared and loathed by the other group (republicans) that they want to destroy us. It’s […]
