19 Interesting how we don't even see Caesar in this picture. We can just imagine him waiting impatiently down at the other end of the long columns of soldiers, wanting to get this over and done with so he can consolidate his conquest.

31 Vercingétorix’s surrender at Alesia in 52 BCE ended the major organized Gallic uprising and gave Julius Caesar a decisive victory. Resistance continued in parts of Gaul, but Roman control was consolidated soon afterward, bringing the Gallic Wars to their close by 50 BCE.

84 I admire Motte's paintings for their realistic detail. The rough hewn fence pales, the war towers in the background, the accurate colors, all combine to create an emotional image as well as a visual one. What makes this scene more interesting beyond the historical aspect is the focus on Vercingetorix. He is defeated in war but not diminished. He is front and center while Caesar, seen as a red blob in the distance, is a small presence. I assume this was matter of French pride in how Motte designed the painting. (I'll avoid mentioning the immediate thought of another French surrender.)

As much as I like his work, Motte's paintings don't seem appropriate to hang in a home. They would be enjoyed in a gallery and as high class book illustrations. They make me think of the color Prince Valiant Sunday comics which had many of the same artistic techniques.

90 They stuck to the history pretty closely, if not the costume. Vercingetorix rode his horse around the Roman camp before heading to the dais you can see back there to do the deed. I don't know if there was actually a dais, but it would have been typical.

Anyway, he got the same treatment as Jugurtha. Hauled to Rome in chains, displayed for the Senate & People in the Triumph, and then sent off to the Tullianum to be strangled by a giant prison guard in a pit.

That would make a cool painting too.

103 From Free Beacon:

Spenser Rapone, a self-described "revolutionary socialist" who was drummed out of the Army after declaring his support for communism and calling for violence against Republicans, has taken up residence at the University of Chicago, where he specializes in "modern Arab intellectual history" and the "history of the modern Middle East," among other subjects.
In addition to his well-known communist bona fides, Rapone has also picked up a taste for Islamic extremism—which he now freely posts about on his public X page. His most inflammatory public pronouncements are in Arabic and remain live on X.
"Glory to the martyred leader Yahya Sinwar," he said on Oct. 18, 2024, shortly after Israel killed the Hamas boss, who masterminded the Oct. 7 massacre.

108 The story of how Caesar won France is still amazing. What he did should not have worked.

Oh and one part not often talked about, at the start of the campaign the Helvetii had decided to move from near what is now Switzerland into southern Gaul. Julius defeated them militarily, enslaved a bunch of them, and forced the survivors to return back to their own lands.

Now THAT is immigration reform.

D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto shared a statement on social media confirming that the shooting took place "at and outside" the Vida Fitness gym, and asking people to stay away from the area. MPD has not yet confirmed the location.

A witness in the gym at the time of the shooting told News4 that she heard gunshots while on the treadmill. When she heard the gunshots, she and others in the gym ran out of the building and took shelter in the nearby Call Your Mother deli.

"We heard really loud, aggressive gunshots. Not like pistols or anything," Vasquez said. "We saw people running in.

Cambridge is an urban area next to Boston proper. For the last few years they've voted Dem like good little socialists. And they've approved a massive package to expand bike lanes.

A) Shocked
B) Outraged

Because of course they are. But to complete the picture, remember the weather in New England is shitty in the winter and you'd be a maniac to ride a bike next to a Boston driver when it is icy - even assuming you are in good enough shape to do so...

164 Vercingétorix Se Rend À César, 1886
Henri-Paul Motte (1846-1922)

This is amazing!

*Vercingétorix Se Rend À César* (Vercingetorix Surrendering to Caesar) is an 1886 academic history painting by French artist Henri-Paul Motte (1846–1922). (Wikiart)

The historic surrender of the Gallic chieftain Vercingétorix to the Roman general Julius Caesar after the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC.

Unlike other famous romanticized epictions (such as Lionel Royer’s 1899 version), Motte's painting shows Vercingétorix arriving on horseback at the gate or camp of the Roman fortification, with Caesar seated or positioned at a distance.

Painted in the Academic / Classical style, reflecting 19th-century French historical painting traditions where Motte studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme.

I'm unfamiliar with the artist but now find his paintings fabulous!

From zerohedge.

Hoax bomb threats emailed to thousands of schools forced evacuations across Italy on Wednesday, and the same kind of message landed in schools in Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland, a week after a wave of bomb threats diverted flights across Europe. Italy's Education Ministry said the email reached about 6,000 schools, and at least 300 were evacuated, ANSA reported.

"We have come to annihilate you. We will carry out a genocide against the Italians" (translated), the email read, according to Il Sole 24 Ore. It claimed a "powerful device" (translated) had been left in a plastic bag "with a remote detonator" (translated), and another line claimed a bomb had been planted in the engine of the prime minister's car. It was signed "Mikhail Antropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan" (translated), a name Italian reports also spell Andropov.

229 Haven't checked to see what the current status is, but for decades international food aid = US food aid. When I was directly involved, the US provided essentially 80% of the World Food Program's food and $$. And this understates the case, because when it comes to the most extreme disasters and difficult operational situations, only the US (= US military) can makes things happen.

Of course not going to both to glance at the idiotic Atlantic piece, so won't be able to fisk in detail. But I assume that whatever is being done about food aid needs in Somalia is now via the WFP (they implement via NGOs), and further assume that means the US is still the major donor.

The ACTIVE SHOOTER in Washington DC has barricaded himself inside of an apartment on the seventh floor on the 1500 block of 15th Street NW, where a BARRICADE has been officially declared by MPD’s ERT.
Several shots have just been fired AT POLICE through the door, causing SWAT officers to have to temporarily retreat and reposition themselves.
The shooter had also been walking around intentionally setting fires across several different locations along Church Street NW and 15th Street NW.
DC Police have put a lookout for a ‘White male, heavy built, wearing gray shorts with a gray and black gun.’
US Secret Service are also investigating the report of shots fired near 12th Street and R Street NW, however that is unfounded thus far.

233 Nah. I'm sure everything is COMPLETELY secure. Everyone did EVERYTHING possible to secure the integrity of the vote. Everything!!!

Gateway Pundit.

Here’s something for you to contemplate as you consider concerns about election integrity: Do the algorithms that Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has found surreptitiously embedded in current state board of election voter rolls suggest intelligence agents have decided to bypass voters to vote election simulations?

As documented on GodsFiveStones.com, Paquette has found secret algorithms in the board of election voter registration databases in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and Texas, with ongoing examinations underway in Arizona and Georgia.

The algorithms appear designed to hide critical voter attribute information, allowing the people who developed the scheme to create and hide “non-existent voters” capable of being assigned legitimate state voter IDs. Once created, the algorithms can vote certifiable mail-in ballots for enough “non-existent voters” to steal an election from an opponent who won through legitimate votes.

235 IDK. I’m not a conspiracy theorist and don’t like mentioning things without evidence. But when you look at the statistics and general probability around what happened in Texas it seems something ain’t right. I’ve look at a few analyses where people much smarter than me lay out the math and conclude that while not impossible it’s highly improbable.

It’s certain we go out asses whooped. But when almost every county moves in one direction and 1.6 million new voters show up, more than the general (which has never happened) something seems rotten in Denmark.

I don’t think we should spend a ton of time on this but it needs to be followed to the end. As Texas goes so does the nation and if we don’t hustle and get a bunch of new registered voters and move things in our direction, this thing is over.

Following his surrender, Vercingetorix was imprisoned in the Roman state prison, the Tullianum, where he remained in captivity for six years.

In 46 BC, he was publicly displayed in Caesar's triumph, which had been delayed due to the civil war (49–45 BC), then executed in the Tullianum in August or September that year, possibly by strangulation.

Black people got in bed with the people that literally enslaved them.

There really is no way to reach them as a group at any level.

They will still have utility to the democrats as muscle but that's about it.

46C would be a mite warm, like Phoenix in summer warm.

282 Still chinooking here. 46 degrees at sunrise. May as well get outside and take advantage of the fine weather.

At 46 C AOP would probably be dead.

283 Following 254, above:

The Mamertine Prison (historically known as the Carcer Tullianum) is famous as Rome's oldest maximum-security dungeon and a prominent site in both Roman history and Christian tradition.

Built around the 7th century BC near the Roman Forum, it was not used for long-term imprisonment or common criminals, but as a temporary holding cell for high-profile political prisoners, traitors, and defeated foreign kings awaiting execution (typically by starvation, strangulation, or beheading).

(Aside, nearly 6 years in the dark, windowless stone chamber while Julius Caesar fought the Roman Civil War (49–45 BC) seems extremely harsh & long term. Death may have been release.)

Notable figures held and executed there include Vercingetorix (the leader of the Gallic resistance against Julius Caesar), Jugurtha (King of Numidia), and the conspirators of Catiline.

I've seen explanations of the details and Democrats admitting to it on MSM ... moreover, Trump has DHS investigating it.

So, I wouldn't bet against it.

The popular response to such assertions in the ONT has become a couple of yahoos suggesting we all simply shut up about it.

292 "However, even IF most of America were given full PROOF and were FULLY CONVINCED the election was stolen, what would happen???"

Probably literally nothing. Pick your %, but the populace is sufficiently disengaged, stupid, ignorant, misinformed and so on that it will be 2020 all over again. Institutions are garbage (people in them). There's no opposition party. Hard to see anything, legal or political, happening.

I am starting to see this past election as an Op. The Uniparty planned and rigged this.
The Democrats lose an election and they howl and file lawsuits. Nobody on the Right is doing that here. The Republicans are rolling over and showing their belly and expecting a treat.

There is just too much fishy and too little being done about the fish.

If the DOJ reverses some elections, ha, I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong.

You realize, don't you, that incessantly saying the same thing over and over again, whether true or not, makes you an ass?

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 12, 2026 11:03 AM (eYxtx)

296 Again, donks cheat it's what they do, but this election really boils down to donks utilizing our bullsh*t early voting and retarded extended voting and sh*t a** registering of voters with literally zero chain of custody or verification of anything, and just jamming as many ballots into the system as they can.

Republican candidates got normal vote totals, democrats got gargantuan vote totals.

So I wouldn't call this a repudiation of Trump and the GOP per se, the democrats simply overwhelmed the system.

It's really not that hard to understand.

297 I would like to think if Trump had prosecuted the war to victory without pause he would have sailed into the midterms with another feather in his cap.

Would this have changed the results? I dunno.

298 Trump's gonna Veto all this crap but if the Dems take 2028 they will get it all through.. Of course I meant DACA not DADA
Posted by: It's me donna at November 12, 2026 10:47 AM (+gK6I)

I knew what you meant, it’s fine. Regardless, why is there no awakening that the loyal black voters mean nothing to the Dems? They have been replaced by a new, shinier model.
Posted by: Piper at November 12, 2026 10:51 AM (ZdaMQ)
______

The majority of black voters don't actually physically vote. Their votes are harvested, both legally and illegally, and cast by the local democrap machine.

This is all assisted by the local black activists, warlords, and even black churches. They are nicely paid for all their work, and the "voters" get cigarettes, booze, or some other minor compensation.

Ask any resident of any housing project or ghetto in any city when was the last time they voted, and they'll almost always say "I just hand my ballot to the guy that comes around every few years with cigarettes."
