Stop Trump at the Ballot Box
This Battle can only be Won by Voting The unfortunate and inexcusable assassination attempt notwithstanding, Trump is still Trump. We must stop him decisively at the ballot box. Until then, we must fight the good fight, the fight of ideas, with everything we have. We...
One Man’s Trauma
We refer to life's obstacles as “formative experiences” or “trials” when we’re mature enough to process the challenges they present. We may succeed or fail but we are emotionally prepared to accept the consequences. And when we are not emotionally prepared to deal...
A Vortex of Hoplessness
This is a very difficult subject and I'm probably out of my league discussing, because I'm a member of white middle class by birth. But maybe, that is what makes me the most qualified. I have lived the entitlements heaped upon my demographic. Yes, I have struggled,...
Shatner in Space – the poem
William Shatner in Space by Robert Maniscalco Consider the young and the old Shatner, both, who, in the understatement of any century, I deeply admire. But I don't go to Star Trek conventions because I am not a joiner. That’s because of my emulation, often to a...
Boundless
I took the family to see BOUNDLESS last night, a new musical written by Mary Fishburne and Directed by Thomas Keating. Five years in the making, against impossible odds, my friend (well I’m more of an admirer) Mary knocks it out of the park. Her music is tuneful and...

The Rights of Children in a Pro Birth Society
When Does Life Begin? If we’re honest, let us concede for a moment that life begins at conception. The instant a seed finds and combines with an egg, a soul comes into being. So, if we are talking about institutionalizing the sanctity of life, we must do away with...
Vote Tuesday – Democracy is in the Balance
Wake up! This isn’t about inflation or “sleepy Joe.” It’s about fascism; it’s about the end of our democratic system, already weakened. Their plan is to tie up the election process; they are planting people who will sow more and more doubt until we give up and finally...

Maniscalco Gallery on Facebook
This is an example of what artists have to contend with all the time. Why do they pick on us? I get these every day, along with Wanting to buy NFT or electronic funds. All are bogus. I have much better things to do with my time thank you. When I say serious inquiries only, I used to be talking about those from real people. If you are real and interested in my art, please inquire. ... See MoreSee Less
