Mid-Morning Art Thread
Frederic Remington "An armed society is a polite society." Sort of a simplistic sentiment (sorry Heinlein fans), but Remington was correct in this scene.

Nope, not really.
There are unspoken premises behind that statement that do not universally apply.
Think about the "armed" neighborhoods in some inner cities in America. They are not polite, and worse than Dodge City in the 19th Century with cattle drives.
Angry, gang -driven violence is the norm. And a lot of them are armed.

Which means one of two things -
1. The corrupt bastards are doing their damndest to hide the report until Trump gets his ass handed to him next November;
2. They're trying to hide the number of corrupt asssholes they refuse to prosecute, and "redaction" is the only way to do it.
This fucking report is never coming out and no one is going to be even mildly inconvenienced. Can we please stop with this stupid "Steiner will come!" play-acting?

This is a very nice effect and pretty reminiscent of the Baroque era. Having the light source in the work allows for some nice lighting effects and contrasts, but blocking the said light source keeps it from dominating the work. It also creates that really great silhouette right in the center of the work. That figure really attracts my eye.

they are more polite when both sides are armed.
If gangs are running parts of town, it is because society has broken down, and the cops with guns haven't done their job (and/or are ordered to stand down).
The solution to criminal impolite gangs is to incarcerate or kill them. It has (probably) always been so, to some degree. We must to do the same to the very impolite DeepState that has taken ruthless control of our liberty minded nation.

That reminds me of a joke:
A mountain man walks into the local sawbones' office. With him is a young man limping badly. "My son-in-law's been shot in the leg, doc," says the older man. "Can you help him?"
"Let me take a look," the doctor says.
The younger man props up his leg and the doctor takes a long look. "That's a bad shot right in the knee, but I think I can fix it," the doctor says. "How did it happen?"
"I shot him," the mountain man replies.
"Well, now, why in the hell would you shoot your own son-in-law?"
"To be honest with you, doc," was the answer, "He weren't my son-in-law when I shot him."

I like that one, but it really does depend on context. An armed society of nice middle class Americans is probabaly going to be a polite society anyway. An armed society of high time preference, low average IQ, and low impulse control slum dwellers is going to be a lethal shithole. RAH most likely had the nice middle class American type of the early twentieth century in mind when he said that.

Just like a certain level of civilization is required for a society to have various public accommodations, like libraries and art museums and restaurants. The social contract between civilized individuals allows such things to exist without being destroyed immediately, and being armed keeps those places from being overrun by the uncivilized. When the uncivilized become too big of a proportion of the whole, you get Detroit.

It's just going to be another movie that will debut at #1 at the box office and be in Redbox a month later.

As has been said ad nauseum, if people were going to be indicted they would have already been indicted.
You do not need an investigation tied all up in a pretty bow before you can start handing off criminal referrals.
Being as now it looks like the report is looking to be delayed till at least November, the possibility of indictments and prosecutions before the election is now finished.
Which means, for there to be any possibility of justice being administered to the coup plotters, it's going to have to come from somewhere else and not the DOJ, oh and Trump has to win re-election, which is not a certainty.
The Deep State has essentially won.

Elizabeth Banks directed it, and plays in it too -- I'd guess she's the equivalent of Bosley. I'd also guess that it will be a grrrlpower/hate all men (but especially white men) fest.
I always thought the original series was dull despite the good-looking girls. The version with Lucy Liu at least appeared to have some visual style. This flick looks like every other action pic out there.

There is another element to successful pictures which is the golden mean blocking of the painting, that can give that nautilus shell spiral in the picture.
And then you have Remington here, who does both of these, but if you notice, the golden mean spiral is at an off-horizontal skew. You start with the figure back lighted by the fire, go to the two figures on the right, the seated figure, and wind up in the hidden fire that lights it all.
Wonderful composition that gives action to a bunch of immobile characters standing in the dark, staring at each other.

Remember that when the cowboy planned to go out there, he knew who he was going to meet - this can't be too much of a surprise to him. Perhaps these are the people he intended to trade with. The Etiquette is obvious, since the three who've come to his fire aren't attacking; they're carrying their weapons, but they're not aiming them. They have approached and they all appear to be engaged in a calm and respectful conversation, the respect enforced by the fact that they are all prepared if things turn south.

Gus and Captain Call mostly fought the Comanches. And the Apaches, no mean horse warriors themselves, were scared of the Comanches. If the Comanches were scared of Gus and Call, the two of them must have been some baaad Texas Rangers. (They were, as McMurtry's books show.)

The Ukraine new admin' had evidence on the DeepState coup, which our FBI was not interested in (of course not). So Rudy was interested since Trump is his client. It may be that is why Barr and other higher ranking officials (Pompeo) are going overseas to collect evidence. Because Wray and Haspel are using their power to obstruct and run ops against POTUS, so no one under them can be trusted
Bolton may have been outside that decision tree ... and his idle comment can't be understood without context. DeepState is using the house to help run their silent coup (baton handed off from Mueller probe), but in secret, as usual. They illegally leak segments of testimony, because it is all a PsyOp.DeepState delenda est.

On one hand, I think the troglodyte/cannibalism motif was grindhouse indulgence by the director. The movement and outcome of character was along the lines of great Westerns. The echoing gunshots of the dying Sheriff and the noble reflection on the half-wit deputy's face were John Ford material.
At the same time, I like to think of the troglodyte motif as a metaphor for the new savagery we face both internally with the Left and with Islam. That's why the story resonated with me.

In the CLP - Q-Tip inspection Marine Corps we used Simple Green or Tide soured with a bore brush and rinsed with scalding hot water. If you didn't you spent hours laboring away using CLP only to be denied acceptance at the armory window cuz of 'carbon on the Q-Tip'.

Agreed. Pitch Perfect was chick-centric but very much not anti-men; all of the girls wanted to hook up with guys (except the lesbian character who was played for laughs).

Lonesome Dove was a self contained gem of two aging world class ass kickers looking for one last great adventure (financing it by stealing previously stolen horses in Mexico was a hilarious touch) of taming the wildness. It defied any backstory prequels, that could only be relatively disappointing, although one that I saw was delightfully nutty on its own.

We signed up for a hospital indemnity plan at the beginning of the year through my work. I've seen on the Internet that these indemnity plans generally have limits on their use regarding pregnancy (you can't take the benefits if you give birth, say, less than 10 months after you sign up).
However, the plan documentation the carrier gave my work includes no language on such a limitation.
Could the carrier impose a restriction like that that's not included in the plan documentation?

I should have made clear that the water cleaning applies to black powder guns. The water neutralizes the corrosive chemicals left behind (very important), softens the residue, andmakes it easier to swab out.
For modern, non-BP ammo, straight water isn't as effective as the cleaners like Hoppe's, CLP, etc.

It wasn't quite that long. The real bad economy was 1930-1935. The second half of the 30s was decent, with some years showing double digit GDP frowth.
Everyone kind of thinks of the Great Depression as all of the 1930s but it really wasn't.

I'm glad Hollywood is starting to do WWI. It's a treasure trove of stories and drama. WWII is just so played out. What more can you say about it? 1917 looks really good. They Shall Not Grow Old was fantastic. And even The King's Man looks kinda fun. I would like to see some stories from the Eastern Front. Perhaps a movie of Solzhenitsyn's August 1914?

There's a very good series on King Edward VII which is hard to find now. It emphasized how he had become the Senior Statesman of Europe through all his family ties, and how through great personal effort he managed to stop all the near outbreaks of war while he was King.
His funeral in 1910 was probably the most magnificent funeral in history; all of the Royalty of Europe was present. None of them realized at the time that it was in effect the funeral of the European world that had existed for hundreds of years, but which was soon to be wiped away forever.

It started with Band of Brothers which was Europ seen from the view of paratroopers and on the ground.
The next was The Pacific.. both of these were on HBO.
Next up.. Apple has bought the rights to "Masters of the Air" and will produce it and air it on Apple TV after it was allowed to languish by HBO... It's chronicle America's Eigth Air Force in WW II.

The upcoming Midway movie looks like it might be decent.

Right, and I knew that, of course. I swear. Tuchman's description of Edward's funeral in "The Guns of August" and what it meant is interesting.

It's easy to win when there is virtually no opposition. Other than Trump, nobody has pushed back against it. One guy alone vs an entire govt apparatus can't do much, unfortunately.
