The SS Raffaello was a lovely ship built by the Italian Line for transatlantic service. It's sister ship was the SS Michelangelo. You could see them tied up at the pier on West Street in Manhattan often in the 60s. They were not financial successes as the era of sailing to Europe was eclipsed by Boeing 707 travel.

Ask your cosmetic surgeon if Achondroplastic is right for you.

I enjoy Raphael's larger crowd scenes like his School of Athens. In many of his portraits the facial expressions are a bit wooden, typical for the time and something I mention often enough. This painting is different. The expressions are natural and realistic. The skin tones are soft, pleasant. Look at the slight blush on Mary's cheek. Their eyes are lively and Mary's direct look at the viewer is riveting. The colors of Raphael's sunlit outdoor scenes are vibrant in an eye catching way. The colors here are still rich but softer, appropriate to an intimate, indoor setting.
It is a remarkable, gentle family portrait. Even without the religious aspects it would be wonderful and touching. Posted by: JTB at September 10, 2026 09:52 AM (yTvNw) 61

Diet of locusts and honey
*********** I think that's the wrong John. The title says St. John who was John the Apostle. Diet of locusts and honey John was John the Baptist. I initially thought it was John the Baptist because of the similarity of the ages. John in the painting has hands in a worshipful pose and a crucifix over his shoulder. I could be mistaken.

"smoking incense stencher"
Posted by: cmeat at September 10, 2026 10:08 AM (Bep7s) The Morning Report — 9/ 10 /26
One person incorrectly insisted the attacks occurred on September 10. Others spouted conspiracy theories, including one person who claimed George W. Bush was “heavily implicated” in orchestrating 9/11. Another said the way the World Trade Center towers collapsed was “too weird” to have been caused by planes. “I think Israel, America behind it all,” another person said, adding an apparent reference to hundreds of years of alleged atrocities. But the interviews went far beyond conspiracy theories.As you clean up the vomitus from your lap and easy chair... meh, this is akin to descending to the depths of the Marianas Trench and Diver Dan telling you to your face "water is wet," wouldn't you say?! It's not drugs per se, but it is the most poisonous of narcotics, anti-American leftist indoctrination pumped into their brains from parents and schools that have been poisoning our youth for decades and continue to do so, especially in higher ed. On that note, I submit for your consideration, on this fine morning, we have this glittering cancerous fistula as but one example: Melina Abdullah, a professor of pan-African studies at California State University, Los Angeles, is under fire for comments she made at an event where she doxed an ICE agent and then urged students in the audience to ‘f**k him up.’Ah yes, their universal desire for peace love and understanding means that millions of us will have to be liquidated in order to bring that about. As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as the popular outlets listed at the bottom of this post, they are the party of death. Ah yes, how they abhor violence, except when taking out "nazis" like Charlie Kirk! Everything about the assassination was astonishing: The unconscionable security failure from the campus police and Charlie’s detail, the fact he was killed while modeling robust and respectful debate, the utterly depraved nature of the act and the apparent transgender-related motive of the accused killer. He was a thought leader, an institution builder and a grassroots-mobilization visionary. The cranks and kooks overrunning the online right today are a sad testament to the void he left behind: Charlie, the guardian of the floodgates, was the conservative coalition’s indispensable man.Of course "free speech" is a tool of heteronormative, white supremacy and toxic masculinity. And there's no greater example of that than of a woman who butchers her three children and is hailed as a heroine while the one voice of sanity who prevented her from walking free, at least for now, is demonized as evil incarnate for not being compassionate and understanding her position! ‘He couldn’t get over the fact that Clancy viciously killed her children.” Those are the words of one of the insufferably condescending female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial who have gone public with their disdain for the lone male juror who refused to go along with their not guilty verdict.When they're done slaughtering their and OUR children they'll turn on us. Because freedom and democracy (vonit) demand it! Brittany Dawn Jeffrey of the Hallie Shoffner-backed Little Rock Freedom Fund hosted a group of rioters at her residence to make Molotov cocktails... Little Rock Freedom Fund founder Brittany Dawn Jeffrey was one of four individuals charged for the attacks in December 2020 and later admitted in a guilty plea that the rioters made the Molotov cocktails at her residence with bottles of liquor, bedsheets, and gasoline. She was sentenced to time served in December 2022 after spending 17 months in pretrial detention. During that time, the Little Rock Freedom Fund sold T-shirts with her photo alongside a quote from convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, the left-wing Arkansas Worker reported at the time.And speaking of Democrat candidates . . . El-Sayed Demanded Mass Release of Prisoners, ‘De-Jailing,’ and Scrapping Cash Bail Because of ‘Racism’: Democrat Claims US Is ‘a Carceral State’And then again there's Fetterman. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he may be a Democrat but still!! In a stunning turn of events, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman made a high-profile cameo at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas.Aside from President Trump himself, there isn't any politician allegedly on our side that is speaking as loudly and as forcefully against the Left as John Fetterman. Whatever his motivations and political calculus, thank goodness he's doing it. Then again, Fetterman aside maybe there is something under the surface that is bubbling up little by little that could be at long last the sea change we have so desperately prayed for and need for our future survival as a nation and society... A Michigan Democrat state lawmaker is warning voters not to support U.S. candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and said socialist politicians take black voters for granted. “It doesn’t change, it’s just different slave owners,” Democratic Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett told Fox News Digital, referring to Democrat Party leaders who treat black voters as a monolith who should only support left-wing candidates. She also accused El-Sayed of not supporting the best interests of black people in Michigan and said the far-left rising socialist wing of the Democrat Party is “more racist than the KKK.”It's one thing for Fetterman and even others to go after the DSA crazies but rhetoric like this also exposes or has the potential to expose who and what the Democrats themselves are and have been. In any case as all of the previous examples and many many more that we have witnessed and lived through these last few years and even longer, they will not rest until we're either conquered or dead and they've gained absolute permanent power. Have a good day.
