77 This is an amazing painting. Da Vinci avoids the often wooden facial expressions typical of 15th century art. The expressions here are natural and so expressive. The detail of the surroundings are realistic and the colors throughout are natural. Even the unfinished mountains in the background (crayon? charcoal?) could have come from a photo. The painting is not loaded with religious symbols but shows the holy family in an entirely human moment which, to me, makes it both pleasant and emotional.

An artist could, and should, spend months or more studying how this painting was created. It is more instructive and impressive than the Mona Lisa.

CBD, thanks. This art is a wonderful way to start the day.

79 Since it’s DaVinci I’m sure the technical execution is superb… but any picture with one lady sitting on another lady’s lap with a baby around as well… not so sure about it. The saint should perhaps be hovering over the scene…

100 Something that makes this painting special is the three generational aspect, unusual when dealing with Mary and Christ. Anne is looking with love and pride at her daughter just as Mary is looking at Christ. That, to my mind, adds a very human element to a religious image. No halo, no heavenly 'glow', just the love of grandmother to daughter to baby.

There was a freeware VR app on the sistine chapel that included a portion of standing on that scaffolding and trying to paint a portion - you really did get an idea of the posture/strain Michelangelo must've gone through, and the app overall did well at getting the perspective and scale across.

That is in some part because now when rightists protest, 'Antifa' fascist street goons show up to crack skulls, while cops stand in alert readiness to protect the thugs from eeeebil Reich-wing self-defense. The Big Media demonization of the Proud Boys was because they were short-circuiting the Assailants' Veto, which TPTB had blessed and maybe even engineered.

125 The Bundesmarine has just cancelled the F126 frigate programme.

The F126 frigate project was envisioned as a six ship multi-mission class under Ursula van der Leyen's leadership. Total cost was supposed to be ten billion Euros but the programme has been bedeviled with 'little' problems like the software used by the Dutch company to design the frigate was incompatible with the computers in the German shipyards.

Delivery dates slipped until 2027 for the first ship and the costs for the whole class ballooned to an estimated EIGHTEEN billion Euros. After spending three billion Euro the whole programme has been cancelled in favor of a smaller eight ship frigate class that is only supposed to cost TWELVE billion Euro.

226 The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne dated to c. 1501–1519.
Leonardo da Vinci

The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne is a prominent subject in Christian art. It portrays the generational lineage of Jesus: Saint Anne (the mother of Mary), the Virgin Mary, and the infant Jesus. This motif has inspired some of history's most celebrated masterpieces.

The most famous depiction is Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished oil painting, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, created around 1501–1519. In this High Renaissance work, Mary is seated on her mother's lap while she tries to restrain the Christ child, who is grasping a sacrificial lamb that symbolizes his future Passion.

Wikipedia, in part, "It is likely that the painting was commissioned by King Louis XII of France following the birth of his daughter in 1499, but never delivered to him.[1] Leonardo probed into incorporating these figures together by drawing the Burlington House Cartoon (National Gallery)."

It's lovely. Thanks.

279 That was Kavanaugh's baby-splitter (so to speak) when he joined the majority, but the rest said the 14th itself gives the birthright.

yes that would have been an acceptable decision.

as it is it re-writes the 14th to comport with the travesty that the Left has turned it into.

tbh I feel like American women are happy with just adopting foreign kids rather than carrying their own kids. plus the gay guys! so they're just peachy with this idiocy.

eventually no one will carry kids, it will be external wombs or some such. I mean, unless civilization collapses of course.

280 It can be written that one is not in this country until officially admitted here through proper entry procedures. Therefore, even though one may be physically in country, for legal purposes, they are not here.

One way CBP is actively preventing this is that if an obviously pregnant woman is entering the country on something like a tourist visa, she's got to show she has enough money on her to afford the hospital stay. No relying on EMTLA. Vive le skyrocketing medical costs?

No way to sugarcoat it, it was a bad decision for us. Congress can take steps to limit it but without a new Constitutional Amendment we are stuck with this awful situation.

The left won't let the government see what books you check out.

You think they're going to let the Trump Administration compel pregnancy tests?

In some ways nothing has changed. We were already handing out citizenship like candy to anyone who had a baby here.

Now the issue will start to get the attention it deserves and we can fight back. This was always a long shot but the battle lines are now clear.

================

The video I saw, I'm pretty sure the CBP officers did this, but the woman was visibly so far pregnant that it was clear she would probably not make it out of the country before giving birth. So they turned her around.

This could lead to some intrusive treatment at ports of entry, but we set the rules for entering our country.

318 I've seen (reproduced in books) da Vinci's preliminary studies for this painting. Based on what I've seen and read, he struggled with its composition. While this is speculation on my part, those preliminary sketches show a certain frustration, particularly with the Saint Anne figure. But then, da Vinci was a perfectionist. I imagine he was frustrated a lot. Geniuses often are.

At the same time, the midterm outlook is fair-to-poor. Might as well throw the dice and see if Trump can get some young Torquemada through these cucks and onto the bench at the midnight hour.

327 The only solution I see to today's birthright decision is to not let pregnant women come into the US. It should be an item checked on entrance cards given by all carriers flying, floating, etc. before they get off. A false statement is punishable by a fine and immediate deportation.
