27 Glackens was one of the founders of the Ashcan school, which also included Robert Henri, George Luks, John Sloan, and Everett Shinn. My local museum used to have a fair number of paintings from these artists, until the museum went woke and decided we all would be more enlightened by "art" from marginalized communities.

70 Pearls Before Morons was highly tauted as a bawdy raucous romp through the contemporary political scene loaded with witty wordplay, sexual innuendo, smart military references and even the occasional limerick.

However, the off-Broadway run was cut short due to an unfortunate shelving incident.

Hell, I could do better, therefore, it is not art. It also doesn't look finished.

97 CBD, I stumbled across this interesting YouTube video last night comparing Édouard Manet's 1863 painting, Olympia to Titian's Venus of Urbino. I didn’t recall seeing Olympia as a Morning Art piece before, it seemed right up the Horde's alley, and the video was interesting enough for even a non-artsy person like myself to appreciate.

Perhaps that was a failure. We don't know what he was looking at in those three heartbeats or why. Was he being spoken to by his supervisor? A guest? All those things matter and pretending they don't is foolish.

Perhaps he could have tackled Allen. And perhaps he could have shot him.

If he did shoot him, he's betting his career and his freedom that the person he's shooting is armed and intending to kill the President, not a parent chasing a kid, not a speaker about to be late, not any of a dozen innocent but 'looks really bad in the moment' reasons.

The idea that agents can just shoot people for running is not correct.

209 176 Everyone marvels (now) at old film of JFK touring around in a convertible in front of crowds. That was how it was done going all the way back way before JFK. even in foreign countries. Truman, Eisenhower, FDR etc, did the same.

Biden said you aren't even allowed to walk into a 7-11 without an Indian accent. He said he wasn't joking.

216 Dems believe Butler is what lost them the election so that is a lot of the rationale.

What lost them the election was trying to squeeze that shrew in when no one voted for her in the first place, and Trump actually fighting back. He's an amazing campaigner and a bitch to go up against. But they don't want to know all that.

Thank God Trump's a billionaire because they tried to bankrupt him, his family, and his organizations with Lawfare ... and yet he persisted.

I think that was a factor as well; had they just ignored him, he may not have re-won the nomination and Presidency.

Agreed. I don't if Rubio or Vance have it in them to stand u to the Dem/MSM onslaught/ But I don' t see anybody else either.

218 I am not the optimist that are JackStraw and TJM. The reason being that gains made are not permanent in our system of governance. Underlying that, of course, is our devolving from being a moral, principled nation, or people. How I wish all of that were not true.

March 2026, Spain. Twelve containers of airliner parts were stolen. This included 600 parts for four different jet engines for planes like the Boeing 757 or Airbus 320 that were on the way to be scrapped.

Trump is one of one. But it's likely that other members of his administration are getting (more) radicalized by the left's constant bad behavior.

========

In terms of immigration:

Trump's one of a kindness would actually lead to much softer immigration policies than his administration is pursuing. The one of a kindness when it comes to immigration is centered entirely around Stephen Miller.

The difference between Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0 is a question of personnel mostly.
