The new film, called Keeping My Faith, shows a soldier taking off his helmet and kneeling down in prayer while his comrades wait respectfully nearby.

132 As always with Leonardo, I'm intrigued by his color palette. He achieves so much with earth tones adding just a few areas of bright color like the red flowers in this one.

For some reason, the background of buildings, paths and trees in the painting make me think of Japanese style painting. Not sure why but it is easy to imagine it on a Japanese vase or pottery. Maybe it's the brush strokes used to denote distance.

Trump is gamely criticizing the universal propaganda machine. He's trying to make the first amendment great again. Stalin as you say destroyed anything not part of his propaganda machine.

Stalin also regularly made false accusations of treason against officials and had them executed. Trump is not even allowed to jail bona-fide traitors.

Flake doesn't even gain anything from this, as he is not even running again. Just a True Believer, I suppose.

The new film, called Keeping My Faith, shows a soldier taking off his helmet and kneeling down in prayer while his comrades wait respectfully nearby. "

And just how respectful would they be if a soldier made the sign of the cross and started praying? Hypothetical question only, since there are maybe 5 Christians left in the UK and the Bishop of Canterbury isn't one of them.

It does make a difference, but the context shows he said "I'd", if the audio isn't clear enough.

Coulter was on some British show and censored the shithole by say "s-hole" but they slammed her for swearing anyway, claiming she said "asshole".

They have an agenda and smearing people is how they put points on the board. Liars one and all, because all the DC reporters know full well Trump/Russia was a lie, and they know Hillary is a globalist grifter. But the MFM is run by the globalists.

Posted by: JTB at January 15, 2018 09:51 AM (V+03K)






I wonder how much of the earth tone thing is by design, or if it's the age of the painting. Leo used to do a LOT of experimentation with new paints and techniques, some of which didn't have the longevity of existing paints.

Best example of that is The Last Supper. He used radically different fresco techniques in order to achieve the effect he was after, but those techniques also tended to fade and attract mold, to the point that the original painting was virtually destroyed in less than 100 years.

or America better hope these seditious traitors get taken down. They really intend to rule over us, and their NWO would break them free of NationStates and our "silly laws".

We tried some "top shelf" baijiu being advertised heavily like it was Chivas Regal. Like paint thinnner! The fumes nearly singed our eyebrows off. We went to the rooftop and a brave lad spewed it and lit it making gouts of flame like Gojira.

So, one bottle for The Palp?

It was a helluva deal ($530, included all the accessories, looks to be unfired since armory refurb), so, yeah, I'm pleased. I'm considering buying a 200 round pack of the Yugo Surplus 7.62x39 SGAmmo: how much of a clean do you need to do after shooting that stuff in a semiautomatic? Basic field strip is fine by me, but if I have to actually take out the FCG and clean it (an old IV8888 video seemed to recommend that), then I'm likely to just pull the rounds off the clips and stash the ammo for a rainy day and just shoot Golden Tiger. I also really don't want to remove the trigger group more than absolutely needed: the bedding on that thing is tight and I don't want to screw it up considening it seems to be set up kinda like a M1 Garand in that respect.

246 From Wiki.


The phrase refers to an ancient belief that swans (Cygnus spp.) sing a beautiful song just before they are to die, having been silent (or alternatively, not so musical) during most of their lifetime. This belief, whose basis in actuality is long-debated, had become proverbial in ancient Greece by the 3rd century BC, and was reiterated many times in later Western poetry and art.

Posted by: Bruce at January 15, 2018 10:24 AM (8ikIW)

247 There are more than five Christians in England, but the growing churches tend to be evangelical with clear beliefs and intentionally reaching out to people. Here's an example:

http://www.calvary-brighton.org.uk/beliefs/

I think the growth among Muslims in greater than that of Christians which is a scary thing. Hopefully the Christians in Europe are praying for revival so that God might be glorified and Christ lifted up. Unfortunately so many of them worship a political ideology.

Yes, Chelsea Manning is a felon. No, at the federal level, Senators are required to be at least 30 years old, a citizen for at least nine and a resident of the state they wish to represent. House requires minimum age to be 25, citizen for seven and resident of the district they represent.

Any other restriction can be set by an individual state, but most do not.

When Jim Traficant, D of Youngstown Ohio fame was convicted of taking bribes, filing false tax returns, etc. and was sentenced to , I think, seven years in the pen, he had to be formally expelled out of the House. While he was in prison, he ran for his old seat in the House and received 15% of the vote. The seat was won by Tim Ryan, D who is still in it today, and was trying to run for minority speaking against Pelosi this past election cycle.

302 When Jim Traficant, D of Youngstown Ohio fame was convicted of taking bribes, filing false tax returns, etc. and was sentenced to , I think, seven years in the pen, he had to be formally expelled out of the House. While he was in prison, he ran for his old seat in the House and received 15% of the vote. The seat was won by Tim Ryan, D who is still in it today, and was trying to run for minority speaking against Pelosi this past election cycle.

That's probably it.

If you read the Federalists on the federal right of unlimited taxation, you'll find that they believed that the absolute limit of federal tax is the extent that the people tolerate it.

Because it was thought that if the people found it too big of a burden, they would address that through their representatives.

I think they hoped that it wouldn't become popular to start writing IOUs to yourself from the treasury, and thus get into the situation where you have a tax rate you don't want, but people keep telling you it's irresponsible to cut back because of all the money you owe yourself.

318 26 Andy McCarthy takes apart the whole Russia Collusion bullshit narrative while still getting his shots in at Trump.

Unfortunately, McCarthy's spouting off before he knows all the details has become a feature, not a bug, imo. His deep desire to keep DOJ clean, while painting Simpson as a victim and Trump as the devil incarnate deserving of Simpson's lies and untruths, doesn't quite square w some interesting details others, like Sundance at the CTH, have revealed as to the involvement of the FBI/DOJ.

Maybe Andy should just STFU until the whole sordid truth of the DOJ/FBI involvement reveals itself.

328 About half of Oahu is hollow. It already was before nukes, because of fleet oil and battleship gunpowder and, water. The cold-war era stuff stayed secret for a long damn time, but, ask any bus driver on a Pearl Harbor tour.

If you're in a key military position or "know somebody" there are places to be that can take a direct hit from anything but a planet-cracker.

Now, getting the whole population of Honolulu under cover in 20 minutes is a completely different kettle of poke. It's probably harder now that we have half a dozen social media (200 million twitters of "Is this for real?"), and suddenly quite a modicum of doubt.

Here is another big secret: If you have a long-range missile, but a crappy guidance system, you plant an agent with a one-note transmitter. Homing is easy. You only need satellite nets and celestial navigation if you can't be sure of getting an agent to your target area, or you want to keep all your spies alive.

All joking aside, there has been speculation for years (prior to the current 'Teh Ghey iz Kool' craze) that Leonardo da Vinci was a homosexual: no female companionship, no off-spring and seemed to leave town one step ahead of his current patrons' wrath pretty often. No one knows for sure, now. He could have been uninterested in sex - not usual in a man, but not unheard of.

I wish they'd also use the more mundane means at their disposal, such as voting to end Muslim immigration and accepting refugees. Paul invoked Roman law (ie. that he was a Roman citizen) in order to get himself out of prison at one point. Nothing wrong them with using mundane means that are at their disposal.

390 Whatever Trump said was in the context of a private meeting with Congresscritters to make it clear he wouldn't support a DACA bill that keeps having us bring in refugees from the Third World for supposed humanitarian reasons. Third World = Hellhole = Shithole, same meaning. FFS, we have temporary refugees that have been here for 20 years.

Durbin went right to the press to have Trump declared a racist. He had to know that this would blow up the negotiations, and I'd bet it was with Schumer's approval. The fight will be in the Senate, because of the need for 60 votes.

Schumer was in a dilemma: leave the Dreamers in limbo, or give Trump his wall. So Schumer is instead knocking over the 9-D chess board by blowing up the negotiations and forcing a government shut-down.

Trump can make a shut-down relatively painless for most Americans, and in effect furlough many fed workers without pay, and thereby win the stand-off. This can have significant long-term effects.

A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.

How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?

To me, Instapundit is a thinker, Flake (and his ilk) are globalists, which really means traitors.

They are not going "around the bend", they are on the other side from America First. It is WallStOligarchs First to them, and that includes players from all over the world, enemies included.

Trump's EO is threatening their empire, cuz they have been involved in bad things (e.g. HSBC caught laundering $2B in cartel drug money, globalist bankers made sure they went free) The human trafficking is also big, as the UN should have taught us long ago, not to mention PedoIsland.

452 445 BTW John Piper wrote a series called The Swans are Not Silent. I believe it's based on a quote by Augustine's successor.

I bet that swan wasn't being very silent about 30 min before he posed for the portrait. Leda at the least looks like she was howling.

There are certainly times it seems they are unable to see it in themselves, so "project" it onto others with whom they have conflict.

But framing Trump for the Russia BS was cold and calculated framing their enemy, to take the fall for what they knew full well they were doing. They are smear agents ... it is a weapon, not a human failing. (or both at times)

If by "poetic" you mean "almost universally potential alcoholics, if not actually inebriated", yes.

462 395 Trump can make a shut-down relatively painless for most Americans, and in effect furlough many fed workers without pay, and thereby win the stand-off. This can have significant long-term effects.

Trump/Mnuchin had a plan since March for a shutdown that would echo the budget they wanted (lots of fed employees gone.) That means there have been months to fine tune the details. Not sure the d's are even playing checkers in this situation.

To be clear, I wasn't criticising. It's just that poetry can be....difficult for the people who live with the poets. There are some exceptions. See the spouse of Wm Blake, for instance.

482 Wot, you had your multiple papacies, Guelphs and Ghibellines, Montagues and Capulets, and you have to speculate on whether Leonardo was a Republican?

We don't even know from partisan. We use "Borgia poisoners" and "misericord" as metaphors. It was a regular everyday thing for these guys.

485 How about a moratorium on linking Washington Examiner pieces in the EMT?

There are already enough bullshit NeverTrumper sites I have to keep an eye on for not giving traffic without clicking through at sites like Insty's without having to be vigilant in the future here too.

And if it's a site that can't let bullshit like the following get through whatever bullshit editorial oversight, it's not worth linking to in the first place.

"Those statements come months after Trump said there were good people on both sides of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the summer, one of which included the KKK and neo-Nazis."

491 Re: SKS and corrosive ammo

So your position is that you'll never going to do a full cleaning of your FCG?

Option 1) Shoot the 200 the first day out and then do a thorough cleaning of gun to understand it better.

Option 2)Put ammo in dark corner and sell it during the next ammo shortage for some outrageous price.
