Ex-FBI Informant Alexander Smirnov Agrees to Plead Guilty to Lying About Bidens
Alexander Smirnov’s deal with the special counsel overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden could lead to 48 to 72 months in prison, though a federal judge would need to review the deal.

Man, I’ll tell you something. If Garland refuses to release the Jack Smith report based on that OLC memo about prosecuting sitting presidents, I’ll be on the fuck Garland train with all y’all. Promise.

“The brave man does not mind the call of the trumpet, nor hear the idle clashing of swords without, for the infinite din within. War is but a training compared with the active service of his peace."

Here is an instrument I invented, play and write for.

It's a Bamboo stalk with 8 strings spiraling around it.
Played with a bow it sounds something like Cello with a more harmonic rich tone.

It's pretty tall, about 6 and a half feet in height.
Enjoy! : ]

King Henry VIII with a monkey
A red and gold ochre pastel and pencil drawing, with squiggly scribbly bits and intricate bits, Henry has his eyes clothes and the monkey is on his lap with a serene but possibly cheeky face. A possibly cheeky monkey

Look at this one. From 1907. Could almost have influenced Disney’s Dumbo
Georges Rouault - The Clown, c. 1907.Oil and gouache on paper, mounted on a cradled panel, 22 1/2 × 20 in. (57.2 × 50.8 cm). Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, USA . A quite cartoony but painterly painting of a clown in profile, a little like Popeye almost, red costume, white hat

Rouault’s clowns. Oooo. Heavyweight art clowns. Never would have given them much attention til now.
Georges Rouault. Th e Clown, 1907. Oil, ink, and watercolor. Museum of Modern Art, New York. © 2007 Artists Rights Society (ARS) New York. A loosely painted image of a human clown with strong painted ink lines Head of a Clown Georges Rouault (1871–1958) French, Fauvist ca. 1907 - 1908 oil on paper on board A loose sketchy oil painting of a clown with head tilted upwards, in string dark blue and red, looks to me like Prussian blue and some kind of vermillion or cadmium red Clown tragique Georges Rouault Date: 1911 Style: Expressionism, Fauvism Genre: portrait A heavier more graphic oil painting with very thick dark black lines, more what I think of when I think of Rouault. Green background, mask-like face
