British artist Louis Duffy's 'Christ Driving the Money-lenders from the Temple' (1940) shows Christ as a truncheon-wielding everyman confronting business-suited arms dealers, one with talon-like hands, trading on graves of war dead ngv.vic.gov.au/essay/militar…

Of what possible relevance is this 😇
On April 12, 1943, after Nazi defeats at El Alamein and Stalingrad, Hitler named Martin Bormann as Privatsekretär des Führers, formalizing the status of the fanatically loyal and bureaucratically effective Bormann as Hitler's top aide, which he remained for the final two years.

Stephen Miller proves that only in America can a young Jewish boy grow up to be a degenerate Nazi.

WOW! This small woven basket is about 9,500 years old! 🤯 Looks like it was made yesterday rather than by hunter gatherers during the Mesolithic! From the Cueva de los Murciélagos (Cave of bats) near Granada, southern Spain. 📷 by me #Archaeology

A patient once assumed I must have been educated in Canada because I was good at what I did. I corrected the assumption. “Good things do come from Africa too.” It may sound like a small comment, but these are the subtle ways colonial thinking shows up in everyday interactions. Why do we so easily associate excellence, intelligence and expertise with the West? Africa produces brilliant nurses, doctors, scientists, educators, researchers and professionals. We don't become excellent when we arrive in Canada. We bring excellence with us. Sometimes, we have to challenge these assumptions out loud.

I moved from Toronto-NYC/area decades ago. NYC is a tough town in many ways (not mean, as people assume) and it weeds out the naive, foolish, absurdly unprepared. Watching 77 m Americans fall in thrall to a lying grifter whose character WE KNEW? Stop thinking "he'll change." 🤪

I see Hegseth’s trending, just a reminder that when he ran 2 Vets organizations he spent all their cash on lavish parties & bar tabs leaving organizations in debt before being forced out and became alcoholic, sexual predator Fox News host. This was BEFORE he was criminal Sec Def.

You know, this really is a perfect illustration of the state of the world today. Russia -- the very same Russia that unleashed the biggest bloodbath in Europe since the time of Adolf Hitler, that occupied the once quiet, cozy Ukrainian town of Oleshky on the banks of the Dnipro River, that forced 90% of its population to flee, that devastated the town (yes, Oleshky was catastrophically flooded following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in 2023!), that brought the remaining residents TO THE BRINK OF STARVATION, that couldn't have cared less about them for all these years, that surrounded the town and the roads in and out with minefields, that rejected every Ukrainian proposal for a local ceasefire to rescue the people dying there, that was still shooting down Ukrainian drones trying to deliver food and medicine to Oleshky just weeks ago, and that finally agreed to a ceasefire and evacuation only to please Donald Trump ahead of his elections... ...that EXACT SAME Russia is now standing before the cameras at the White House WITH THE MOST POMPOUS AND SELF-RIGHTEOUS LOOK ON ITS FUCKING FACE, theatrically wringing its hands like a character in an ancient Greek tragedy, and presenting Melania Trump with "touching little gifts" from the "rescued children" of Oleshky. We are living through one of the most utterly disgusting, dumbest, and grotesquely immoral eras in human history.

The men whose names are deliberately omitted from the Epste!n files are wealthier, more powerful and more connected than that criminal clown Russell Brand.
I do not understand this: If Russell Brand can be correctly convicted, why can literally nobody from the Epstein files be convicted.
