The Skater (Portrait of William Grant)
Gilbert Stuart
In 1775, Gilbert Stuart set sail for London where Benjamin West welcomed the destitute young man into his home. The Skater marks the end of his five-year apprenticeship to West. Stuart's first effort at full-length portraiture, its originality brought the artist so much notice at the 1782 Royal Academy exhibition that he soon set up his own studio.Read the rest at the National Gallery of Art website. Addendum: And for your viewing and listening pleasure...some of Dick Button's greatest hits.

Knowing it was a shit sandwich and knowing Ryan would get beat up over it.
Payback. Bigly.
Force him to make the opening bid that everyone will reject. Cost him political capital and reputation.
What better way it there to pay him back, humiliate him?
And: That's exactly what's happening.
Then, he says, Trump will counter through Price--which the Dems, of course, will go nuclear on.
And, Trump will swoop in in July with a "reasonable" compromise (which will be almost exactly what he promised during the campaign).
Seems more like what the guy who wrote "The Art of the Deal" and said "I always get what I want" would do than thinking RyanCare is the one and only plan.

Seriously, if I wanted a portrait painted back in the late 1700s, the artist who painted this one would get the job.
Just for fun, I like the way Stewart uses black to make the main figure distinct while yesterday's artist used stark white to do the same thing.

He then did a lap around the restroom walking by all the stalls. You know, the stalls that have 1 inch gaps by all the doors hinges so you can most definitely see everyone with their pants around their ankles and vagina clear as day.

creeper! Good to see you.
I remember years ago, perhaps it was the '92 Olympics, my husband and I were watching ice skating and the French national champ, a pudgy girl who was in no way competitive, was skating. Buttons barely said a word, except an "oh dear" occasionally when she fell or bobbled, which was quite often.
At the end he simply said, "Well, that was unfortunate." It really was worse than ripping it to shreds.
My husband and I still laugh at that.

I could have done without all the disclaimer in her article, "I'm really not transphobic. I support anyone's desire to change gender. I'm a progressive person...yada, yada, yada.." She doesn't need to say all that although I understand her desire not to get death threats from tolerant and loving leftists, but can;t she just say "There was a man who was clearly a man in the woman's bathroom and there were young children in there and it's not o.k. It's never o.k." I would probably would have said, "Get the hell out!"

Rush says a lot of military are Dem leaning "progressive" types politically. I guess the DC Cartel disease infects everyone that stays there too long. Rush also said getting into the CFR is like the pinnacle of success for many of them.
Ted Cruz's wife was a CFR writer on NAFTA iirc, and they seem to recruit broadly. Rush said something about that "CFR body politic" being a central "resistance" to Trump. No matter what Trump comes up with they reject, because it has to come from them. They have to retain their power so Trump must be denied everything and anything ... for the sake of "showing who is boss". (I'm elaborating/paraphrasing a little, but I mentioned CFR a couple times before I heard Rush bring it up, and it is not really so secret a society)
The shadow government perhaps is simply the CFR globalist machine, that seeks global government. Global warming was one of their means of extracting money and exerting coercive power. Their conglomerate writes policy and law and they buy whatever politicians they need to inject their platforms. And they answer to no one except the billionaire donors, it would seem.
Does Mattis (and other loyalists to CFR) really believe in the science of global warming, or are they just "CFR Woke" and down with the (shadow) cause? Too many globalist dreamers.

What exactly did Trump promise during the campaign that is different from what is happening? He promised universal healthcare, staying on parents insurance until they are 26 and no exception for pre-existing conditions. He also promised not to touch entitlement programs.
Trump went all in on the current approach last night. This is now his approach as much as Ryan's or McConnell.

The thing I remember most about Button was that while was analyzing every error in a routine, sympathy for the skater was always there. He never mocked anyone and seemed to feel the pain of those who failed.

on your face, pick your poison, but as a very progressive woman...I'm
sorry it can't just be a feeling when theres but a mere suggestion of a
door with a peep hole separating your eyes from my vagina or my
children's genitals."
Oh, honey, that train left the station a few years back. Your tribe has officially declared of separation of physical self and gender; the two are completely unrelated, you see, and you need to get with the program, bigot!

If that proposal to have illiterate teachers was floated in Arkansas-
the Left would rightly be decrying it as a plot to keep minority children down and at the bottom of society.
But because it's in NYC, it's okay becuz Progtard Feelz or something.
Maybe it's time for the Feds to seize the NYC school districts-
and Trumpitize them until standards are restored.
And, of course, charge both NYC and NY state for the service.

I could have done without all the disclaimer in her article, "I'm really not transphobic. I support anyone's desire to change gender. I'm a progressive person...yada, yada, yada.." She doesn't need to say all that although I understand her desire not to get death threats from tolerant and loving leftists, but can;t she just say "There was a man who was clearly a man in the woman's bathroom and there were young children in there and it's not o.k. It's never o.k." I would probably would have said, "Get the hell out!"

While we were eating, she came to the table, and gave me a little cow that said " eat more chikin", and chatted with us for a few minutes. A small thing really, but not something I am used to, with fast food.

You know, in a sane universe, where no one had ever read an AOS movie review, those two clauses could co-exist, peaceably, in the same sentence.
But living here, where I do? I'm calling bullshit on this.

Madison's claim on our admiration does not rest on a perfect consistency, any more than it rests on his presidency. He has other virtues.... As a framer and defender of the Constitution he had no peer.... The finest part of Madison's performance as president was his concern for the preserving of the Constitution.... No man could do everything for the country – not even Washington. Madison did more than most, and did some things better than any. That was quite enough.

I am always amazed that anyone ice skates on purpose: hockey players, figure skaters, Hans Brinker. My one attempt consisted of 90 minutes of trying to avoid concussions. Fortunately, I quickly outgrew those skates and that ended my gliding career. Ice is fine in drinks and for preserving food. After that, my enthusiasm dwindles rapidly.

OK, I'm a sour, cynical asshole. But if I were running McDonald's, I'd just say, "fuck it! Where else are those sister-screwing flaggots going to go?"
And why would I say that? Because McDonald's is so omnipresent and too many parents use it as a quick fueling stop for their kids and because I know Trump voters - the majority of them - don't have the strength of character for a long-term boycott; at least not long enough to do real harm to our bottom line.
So McDonald's gets the best of both worlds - it gets to give the middle finger to Hitler and still rake in mucho bux from his voters. Winning!

And McDonalds has mostly lost me because more and more of their locations have morphed into those shitty "McCafes". They have gotten away from their roots, which was fast food burgers, served fast. Fast food that is fast and cheap doesn't have to be very good. Just plain edible will do. I'm not dining there, just refueling.

I really do wish someone would do a comprehensive statistical study on these BOYCOTT! / SUPPORT! phenomenon because I can almost guarantee that for all the social media fervor almost no one changes their daily routine.
Maybe it's been done but I'm too lazy to change my routine and look for it.

If a single one of those VA assholes had said Barky wasn't their president and refused to put his picture up, you would hear the screams of outrage from Mars. But what does the right do?
**crickets**
Are those assholes going to lose their jobs? Is the Trump administration going to respond, "looks like you have too much time on your hands if you're grandstanding" and shut the damned places down? Are the VFW and other veterans' organizations going to organize national demonstrations in front of every VA that refuses to put up the portrait of the legally elected president of the United States?

Me neither. They may not like Trump, although I'd be hard pressed to understand why since he has been giving them lots of free pr during his campaign and after, but I can't see them committing corporate suicide.
Their twitter feed says they were notified by twitter that their account was compromised and they took down the tweet and are investigating. Sounds like either some employee went rogue or someone hacked them.
Still doesn't take them off the hook for their food.

The SJW fine print this bloggy mom presents first to justify her street creds is hilarious. It sounds just like the trolls that came here pre election and rolled out their credentials first(I've been a republican all my life) before slash and burning Trump.
Maybe, if she thinks about it a bit more, she will realize that not tearing weeds out by the roots when they are small allows giant weed patches full of poison ivy to grow that are far more difficult and dangerous to remove.
The rest of the country with sense has been saying for almost a decade now that the psychiatrists, schools, and left wingers who are promoting this transgender garbage, demanding it be normalized and celebrated were not just a danger to the rest of us, but were going to use lawfare and brainwashing to cement it in place.
She thinks her kids are going to be safe from this stuff because she writes a cranky blogpost about it, well news for you honey. Until you are willing to get out there, get hit with eggs or possibly beat up, end up in jail or sued for having 'wrongthink" , and otherwise join the rest of us trying to fight this crap, you can pretty much plan on how you will deal with the aftermath of your kids being molested or raped because at some point, you will not be there to escort them to the restroom.

Comforting to know he hasn't been dumped in a cave with his squatter "friends" cashing his checks. The upset, the frustration with his psychic state, goes back decades.
Threatening to shoot his own daughter when she came by to show him his grandkids isn't too crazy, right? (That was a while back.)

I stood in the line, just staring at the menu board, like the undead. The nice counter lady walked me through it, and I actually ordered food.
While we were eating, she came to the table, and gave me a little cow that said " eat more chikin", and chatted with us for a few minutes. A small thing really, but not something I am used to, with fast food.

I get the same pleasant experience with the Chik-Fil-A I've been to here. And in this dump, you're more likely to get the sort of fast food workers who SHOULD be replaced with kiosks.
