Mid-Morning Open Thread
Family Portrait
Franz Hals Hals is well regarded, and certainly some of his work is wonderful. But he is clearly a notch or two below the greats (Vermeer and Rembrandt), who managed to inject more emotion and humanity into their works...something that is lacking in some of Hals' paintings (this one included).

Oh, it is absolutely a marvelous piece of art, but compared to Vermeer or Rembrandt he pales. As I mentioned, some of his stuff is lovely, but some of it looks like he is phoning in the inspiration part and just using his technical skills.

Posted by: Jimmy Hoffa at May 14, 2019 09:44 AM (QkjLD)
Now, there's an interesting phrase.
Posted by: Mike Hammer, etc., etc.
----------
"Some commentators have suggested that 'spit' may be a corruption of 'spirit', but that appears to be fanciful and isn't backed up by any early examples of 'spirit and image'. The allusion is more likely to be to someone who is so similar to another as to appear to have been spat out of his mouth. That idea, if not the exact phrase, was in circulation by the end of the 17th century, when George Farquhar used it in his comic play Love and a bottle, 1689:
"Poor child! he's as like his own dadda as if he were spit out of his mouth."
No version of the phrase is especially old. The earliest reference is in Andrew Knapp and W. Baldwin's The Newgate Calendar, 1824–26:
"A daughter, ... the very spit of the old captain."
This pre-dates any 'splitting image' citation by a good hundred years, which tends to rule out the latter as the source. 'Spit' or 'dead spit', with the meaning of likeness, appears in print several times in the 19th century. Here 'dead' means precise or exact, as in dead ringer.
Other languages have their own versions of this phrase; for example, French - "C'est le portrait craché de son père" ("He's the spitting portrait of his father") and Norwegian - "som snytt ut av nesen paa" ("as blown out of the nose of"). These are difficult to date and may pre-date the English version or may derive from it. "

I think they're actually winning, but that's because the media makes it look that way.
If Trump wins in 2020, this country will lose a significant portion of its mind and it will be another rough 4 years. Depending on what Trump does to MAG in his 2nd term dictates how it will go after that. He's driving the media crazy and more and more Americans are realizing the media is what it is: the strong arm of the DNC.

Oranges were status symbols. Tropical fruit that had to be shipped to the northern countries were expensive. It showed you could afford such luxuries. You see them used this way in Van Eyck's "Arnolfini Portrait".

The origins go straight to the top.
Remember, Susan Rice wrote a CYA memo on her way out the door saying Obama wanted the investigation to handled by the book.
So ipso facto, Obama knew about it and ultimately, per Rice authorized it and directed it.
So if this investigation is legit, his first request for an interview should have been Susan Rice, then following precedent per the Flynn interview, invite Obama to have a friendly chat, no lawyers needed, it's just a conversation.

The Holland School of the Dutch Baroque saw the development of the lower genres (still lifes, landscapes, portraiture, etc.). The region was strict Calvinist and obvious religious art was frowned upon. It was seen as Catholic and idolatrous. The artists and patrons had to go with something else or make the religious messages more abstract and allegorical. Since Holland was pretty prosperous at the time, art patronage was seen as a sign of wealth, stature, and good taste -- as it still is.

As I said in the morning thread...
Now that Barr has started an investigation into the origins of the Trump spying operation if it doesn't go to straight to Obama then ultimately
it will be a failure.
The first thing that will be needed to
be looked at is the authorities, remember, Susan Rice wrote a CYA memo saying Obama wanted this done, by the book, so the authority has to start with Obama.
Remember this operation used surveillance,
espionage, spies, agent provocateurs in multiple countries, contractors, cash payments, honey pots, intelligence operatives of multiple 5 eyes countries, and on and on.
Does anyone understand the authority chain and coordination necessary for the CIA/FBI to conduct
these operations both domestically and abroad?
It's massive.
And if it were done by the book the paper trail should all be there.
So it must start at the top with Obama and like a many tentacled octopus work it's way out to the lowly field agents.

He should run on a ticket with Buttplug. "The Bullock and Buttplug" sounds like a gay English pub. ("Mind if I put my banger in your mash?")
He's a good example of a "Moderate Democrat" - he ran for election as a "Moderate Democrat", someone who would respect the more conservative values of his constituency - and now, he's decided he's never going to run for Statewide election again, and he goes full on Abortion Activist, tells Montana voters to fuck off, and he's gonna run for President.
Although of course that is ridiculous, what's he's probably running for is a sweet appointment to a cabinet position, probably Dep't of the Interior, in a hoped for Dem administration.

That's the great thing about art. There is so much of it that everyone should be able to find someone/something they like and enjoy it for the happiness it brings. Perhaps if I were ever lucky enough to see Hals in person, I might change my mind. Unfortunately, my opinion is based solely on printed, flat reproductions. Never the best way to judge art.

Democrats and the media - but I repeat myself - are desperate. Their
immediate, absolutely critical mission is to try to get rid of AG Barr.
When he was confirmed it was assumed by everyone in the professional
political sphere that because Barr was in the Bush administration that
he was a just another political hack, and no one to worry about.
When
they discovered - much to their horror - that he was serious about
actually enforcing the law - the panic sounded like the sailors on the
Japanese carriers at Midway when they saw the American dive bombers
attacking from overhead and realized their air cover had been pulled
miles away shooting down ineffectual torpedo planes at sea level. All
they can do now is throw up some weak flack and hope they can dodge
Barr's bombs. It couldn't be happening to more deserving people.

He meant the Republican Party won't take out Trump because he fired Comey, something he's legally allowed to do, and didn't collude with Russians. So, it's not "the system", it's Republicans.

That was the messy beauty of the spoils system.
Everyone knew that the next party was going to wipe out the previous party's loyalists in the government as much as possible (usually actually no more than about 10%) and replace them with their own hacks and lackeys.
Far from a perfect system, but far preferable to an entrenched bureaucracy that is always on just one side.

ABOUT the urban and university progressive bastions that rule states which are otherwise conservative:
We have seen that Electoral College method works as advertised in balancing power among unequal states.
Why is this not the model for all state levels of government as well? A state electoral college comprised of counties, perhaps, would balance the majority of rural areas with the minority of progressive enclaves.
And, surely, I'm not the first to think of this, but I just haven't seen it suggested anywhere. (Not like it's a realistic possibility anyway.)

What an idiot! if you've been near a dead pine tree, you know they rot fast and quickly get so weak a toddler could push one over.
My neighbor has a big hackberry, some of the branches are over my garage. It looks sicker and sicker by the year, but I've looked at it closely and determined that the way it's balanced, it's going down in his yard when it goes. Last big storm about a week ago, a big limb came off, one that *could* have landed on my garage if it had fallen in a particular way; but somehow, it snagged a little where it broke, swung, and catapulted itself right into the middle of his yard. I admit I felt a little big smug about it the next day.

And this is true of many states. Michigan has three areas that flip the state blue. Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Flint. In the 2018 election, John James R, Senate candidate, won 68 of the 83 counties in the state. What he didn't win was 15 counties in the above areas, and he didn't win Macomb, Oakland, and Ingham counties.
Ingham county includes MSU, Oakland and Macomb have numerous small colleges, Ann Arbor is hopelessly Democrat now with U/M and Detroit speaks for itself when an accomplished black business owner cannot win because he has R after his name.
So people outside of the state believe the entire state is Democrat Liberal, when it's not true at all.

The problem is the overwhelming amount of it comes from Asia, China and India most notably. The US contribution is comparatively minimal.
So of course California bans straws.

Over 90% of oceanic plastic waste comes from 10 rivers in Africa and Asia. The West's contribution could be lost in a rounding error.
In the USA, less than 2% of plastic waste is mismanaged, and the vast majority of that doesn't end up in the sea.

One would think that if there is anywhere it would be good to put trash, it would be at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

CA isn't going far enough. They should ban disposable cups, plasticware, plates, napkins, fastfood packaging.
Basically, Californians should be walking around with a tin cup and a wood bowl hanging from a lanyard around their neck, and they should be made to eat with their hands. All of them.

They rule the rest of the state.

The numbers of counties are irrelevant.
It's the population within them and people know this.

Well, for one thing, I can guarantee you that nobody involved in running that story will ever rise above the level they're at, and I'd be surprised if any of them still have jobs.
Moreover, in their ignorant excitement to report on Leftist royalty, they publicized something that newsmen are supposed to conceal, it damaged Thundershart badly, it led to possible legal jeopardy for people in the nomenklatura, and they'll have to live with what they did.
LOL.

.... dont forget the Russian sub that we may or may not have sank when Sean Connery defected to the US with HIS Russian sub. Alex Baldwin saved the world that day.
but did he find the missing heat that we are being told is being sequestered in the deep ocean?

Most, not all. Tons of trash on the ocean floor.
For years the ocean was used as a garbage dumping ground. It was standard practice for places like NYC to dump garbage in the ocean up to the 1990s.
This isn't a global warming scam. We have abused the oceans for a long time and while the US mostly stopped other countries did not.

there are folks that want to set aside 2/3 of the solar system as a wilderness reserve.

I was just about to say we still get NY trash washed up here in Jersey.
I do think they passed a law a while back to stop dumping hospital waste and other biohazards though.
