12 Per Wiki:
"George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 – 1 July 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope and Love and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language."

17 Wiki-
Blindfolded Woman: Represents the inability to see the future clearly, yet still striving for optimism.

Lyre with One String: Symbolizes the fragility of hope; despite the damage, the remaining string suggests that there is still potential for beauty and music in life.

Globe: Indicates the vastness of the world and the weight of despair that can accompany it.

19 From the classic story of pandora's box (jar) there is an argument that hope was merely yet another catastrophe unleashed on mankind since everything else in it was evil why would there be a good thing at the bottom?

90 This painting is one of the most poignant I've seen. The young woman, frail, sylph-like, clings to her lyre which has only one string intact. Her posture is almost crumbled but not defeated. She is blind or blindfolded, in either case misfortune has happed to her. She is still trying to play or live. She hasn't given up. The one point of brightness is on her face. Everything else in the painting is softer, earthier, and flows from that point.

The universal themes in this are subtle but clear and have been used throughout literature. This could be Alfred the Great and his meeting with the Virgin Mary when on the brink of annihilation from invaders. It could be Samwise in Mordor seeing the one distant star untouched by darkness and despair. It could be anyone who has prayed at the bed of a loved one in peril.

An alternate title could be Faith.

@WesternLensman
This is how far the Democrat lawfare agenda has already escalated:

Ayanna Pressley wants Republicans held accountable for "crimes against humanity."

"Starving, hungry children. Denying people essential health care. The list is long."

This was after listing other punishable offenses such as "Black women pushed out of the workforce," tariffs and the unemployment rate.

In other words: It doesn't matter what the grievances are, Democrats want them contorted into prosecutable crimes.

Affordability, everyone!

120 "Starving, hungry children. Denying people essential health care. The list is long."

This was after listing other punishable offenses such as "Black women pushed out of the workforce," tariffs and the unemployment rate.

In other words: It doesn't matter what the grievances are, Democrats want them contorted into prosecutable crimes.

Affordability, everyone!

135 Zohran Mamdani's reported favor line to the White House may have just gone dead thanks to Stephen Miller.

The communist New York City mayor has quietly been asking President Trump's team to release individuals held in ICE custody, according to a Monday report from Politico.

Sources and quotes from Mamdani himself show that his inexplicably cordial relationship with the President had previously expanded into an open line of communication on specific immigration enforcement issues. According to Politico, that communication came through former Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Jennifer Welch says her advertisers were "harassed" into dropping the show.
"Sadly, some of the advertisers have caved. But we still have other advertisers, and we're still standing."
Little companies are apparently stepping in to try to save them.
They read a message from a brewery in Wisconsin that called Charlie Kirk "an awful human being" and wanted to help sponsor the show.
Welch called that "so sweet," then did a shout out for the company for free.

At last count, around 30 sponsors have dropped the podcast.

148 Detroit voters elect judge who is suspended until 2029 for "a litany of alleged misconduct"

Litany are the worst kind.

She's been suspended since 2020.

"Judge Kahlilia Davis was accused of abusing court powers and interfering in the work and livelihood of a process server for the court, even lying under oath. In 2020, the Michigan Supreme Court suspended Davis for failing to keep a video record of the court cases in violation of Michigan Court rules.

Following that 2020 suspension, Davis made headlines again in 2022 when the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission found her unfit to serve. She purposely unplugged courtroom recording equipment, threatened coworkers (even using Bible verses to do so!), used a fake handicap placard so she could park closer to buildings, lied under oath, and abused other court powers."

I guess this is not the same brewery in WI that said they would offer free beer if Trump was killed? That one lost their liquor license.

I've never been in the brewery or bar business, but it would seem to me common sense that you not pi** of much of your clientele. The bar/restaurant business is on a knife edge anyway as far as profit.

Thanks for the correction. Unless they only wish to serve leftist clientele I'm sure it will come back to bite them In the backside. I have a feeling that the owner of the bar /restaurant near me is probably a conservative. He did have "Happy 250 USA" things up, but he hadn't put any pro Trump stuff on his walls . Then again, he's been in business for about 30 years. I guess he knows what's what

There’s a bar in my city that is very very veeeery left wing and proudly so. It has the “we believe” signs in windows, the tranny flag and every election all the democrat candidate signs too.

Getting a small buy fiercely loyal client base can work for a business.

Seems to do very good buisness.
